Download the stock firmware for your region from sammobile.com (or any stock firmware, really) and flash it via Odin.

If noobs on xda have taught me one thing, its that smartphones just aren't for everyone.

No. It won't brick as long as you don't wipe data while on a firmware affected by the bug. Just try to avoid using stock 4.0.4 firmware to steer clear of the emmc brickbug. For more info on that look in the general section.

so thats my problem......... you mean not to get back in stock rom?????? or stock kernel???
My steps to get it in stock place is to flash it only with stock rom????
Sorry about my bad english.... i may dont understand some things.... thanks for your patient...

Ok easy now. If you want to go back to stock firmware just use your current siyah kernel to wipe data and cache Aka factory reset. When you have done that just use odin to flash the firmware You should not brick your phone
