Yes, you can downgrade to a Gingerbread stock rom from the ICS rom you're currently running.
You can download GB stock roms from Samfirmware.com or AndroidFirmwares.Net.

Done downgrade my phone. Now my phone running android 2.3.6. Im very now and thanks whose those helped me in this process. So what a good kernel for my phone now?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium

Glad you got it sorted
I always liked using Siyah on GB roms. But one thing you need to watch out for - make sure you flash a Gingerbread kernel now you're running GB stock. If you flash an ICS or JB kernel, your phone won't boot (doubt you'd brick it outright, but stranger things have happened here).
As long as you do that, you'll be fine Have a look in the development sections of the board & you should be able to find threads with GB kernels that work with stock.

Why didn't you ask this question in the Villian ROM thread? I keep seeing these very personalized one liner threads that just clutter up the forums when they could be easily asked in an existing thread...
You will not be able to update via Kies in the future but need the Odin /custom route .

New users aren't allowed in the Development section.
When you've installed VR, you won't get KIES updates.
Given the unreliability of KIES, I would never use it to update personally...
You can install future VR updates via ODIN, just like normal. Perhaps I'll even make a way to update OTA? All depends on if I ever actually get this blasted SGS2...
no, the rom works well so far

And will I flash it just from my phone's recovery mode,if not tell me how step by step please and thanks.
As per the first page of this thread, get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin (download mode); Guides. Or, if you search the General section (or do a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms; I do not have a link so don't ask) there is a thread in there somewhere with CWM flashable stock roms. But if you want to get the phone back to a similar state to when you bought it, do an Odin flash.
Nobody's going to regurgitate step by step instructions especially for you given it's been done thousands of times before in other threads. As a wise man on here says in his signature 'n00b OK, lazy n00b not OK'.

Hi mate!
1. WRONG SECTION! There's a mega great Q&A Thead to ask for your questions , it's the Development section... . We need to contribute to keep our forum clean and neat . Next time use Q&A Thread please.
2. The ROM what we prefer it's NO rom, there is NOT the best rom or the fastest... All those things depend on your own usage. Try yourself some ROMs and then choose your favourite.
3. The easy way to root your STOCK rom is flashing a Philz Kernel or using their SUfile.zip
4. Best rom?fastest? what the f*** you smoke? or such question are forbbiden!

Can someone give me stock i9100TMUKF1 firmware?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Free mobile app
First of all, you are using the jelly bean kernel. Only the ics kernel had the super brickbug. You can root your phone easy by using framaroot(search in google and click xda link) OR you can install a custom kernel that auto roots your phone. The link that was given by viper won't brick your phone as it is designed for jelly bean. As long as you install the kernel properly, you will be fine. I am only allowed to say that the rom I found good was slim saber rom by Fusionjack.

AFAIK PhilZ root files are safe to use and you can flash those via STOCK recovery.
You can use your correct Kernel (root+Philz CWM) too from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270

If this is gb rom, forget about it. No links exist. If you want ics, you should avoid it due to brickbug kernel. Your best bet is to update to jelly bean or to use some other custom rom.
Also, i think u gave us the csc version as i see no firmware having phone firmware code. The actually code of the stock ROM (according to internet results) should be i9100bokgi

Probably problem with your isp. Links definitely working for me. Last option is to use neatrom by sale (which is based on stock jb 4.1.2 firmware) but with root and with debloating options. Sorry, can't upload the file as it will take too long (internet upload speeds over here are darn slow on ADSL2+).
Here is the link to the thread anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-neatrom-lite-extralite-themed-aroma-t1569686

Thanks for helping but I want to tell u that link u had provided was for ICS and i want T-mobile Jelly bean firmware...
