1. Yes just flash stock ROM using Odin. But you will lose data (not sdcard and external card)
2. Yes you can return to stock from CM. You will lose your data so can use Titanium Backup for backing up apps and data.
3. Yes you can flash CM10 using temp CWM.zip. Also since you are on 4.0.3 you are safe from brickbug.
Since you are already rooted, do a nandroid backup first using temp CWM.ZIP so you can go back to stock when required and if required apps and data backup using Titanium Backup.
A full wipe is recommended but not necessary before you install CM10. Morr details on CM10 thread.

Hi,
Today Morning i got my SGS2 back from samsung services.
after changing the front and back cover, they upgrade FW to XWLPE and OS to 4.0.3.
I looked after insecured and secure file to install ROOT and CWM but i found nothing for this new FW.
anyone has an idea how i can do the full ROM backup as i did already with CWM ?
thx.
This is how you do it
Or flash any custom kernel

Thx a lot it allowed me to install CWM and ROOT.
moreover, i was able to make a full ROM backup on internal SDCard.
that's fantastic.
Hi everyone, after a few weeks of using custom rom and rooted my phone, i want to change it back to the previous status, which is the stock rom and kernel and not rooted, is there any possible way to do this ? can i just install the stock room by CWM ? Thanks

Option 1. Restore CWN Backup which you should have made before going flash happy
Option 2.Flash a stock rooted rom from XDA from custom recovery
Option 3.Find the stock firmware for your region from XDA/Checkfus/Sammobile.com..connect your phone in download mode via odin..flash the firmware as pda..then root with CF-root
all you need is in/General/stickies....oh and some reading
I just flashed back to stock and my messaging app isnt working. Any ideas?

Since you flashed CF-ROOT, i believe you have access to CWM recovery

You don't need ROM manager. Stay away from it.
- Reboot to CWM recovery
- wipe cach data /factory reset
- wipe dalvik cache
- format /system (under mount and storage)
- flash CM9
- flash gapps
- reboot phone

The latest CM10 is stable already, but I'll advise you to use CM9 for sometime before trying CM10. I personally, have been running jellybean since over 1 month already.
Good luck

Ok I decided to install CM9..
Do I need to backup current Stock Rom? How to do it?

there are two ways:
1. Backup ROM via CWM recovery
- boot to CWM recovery
- Backup and restore
- Backup ROM to internal or external SD
2. Backup ROM via CWM manager (easier method)
CWM manager app is already bundled with Siyah kernel
- Open your app drawer
- run CWM manager, Grant it superuser permission
- Backup ROM, select your desired storage
-input the backup name of your choice.
The phone will reboot, and the backup will be done

K den finally from where do I Download CM9.
Official page or xda forums?
WTF !
I entered Recovery mode(volume up+power+home).
There is no option like Backup nor advaned settings.I tried navigating using volume keys.

Official JB update for SGII wil be 03.03.2013, and I wanted to ask a question.I have a rooted phone with Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, with orginal ROM. Can I update my phone to official 4.1.2 with a rooted phone with Siyah kernel ? Or I must unroot my phone and get my stock kernel.
I now it may sound like a noob question but I'm new here so better I ask someone.
Thanks.
the easiest way is to simply flash the Rom with odin,
worst case scenario is that you have to wipe data/Factory reset after flashing,
so make a nandroid and a backup with titanium backup or something similar.
just so you have a cliff to lean back on.
unless you flash with mobile odin you will lose root though,
but then youll only have to flash a new rooted kernel and you should be good to go!

Thanks for the guide, So only to be sure.
I donwload the official ROM, then I flash it with odin and then if I want to root my phone again I must flash a rooted rom.
And the official update contains the stock kernel ? Because I got alredy a backup done with CWM and when I flash the official ROM and it will replace Syiah kernel with CWM and if somenting goes wrong then I can't restore it .

You can thank me if i helped you
Well, I erased the wrong nandroid and wiped out my stock ROM. So I can't revert to stock and unroot ready for the official ota without using Odin (which I have NO intentions of doing lol) but then, I'm currently running 4.2.2 anyway...so I'm not sure I would....even if I could.....
And tbh.....I like not having all that bloatware......

I would not unroot the phone. Just use Odin for flashing the new firmware and after that you can root it again. For me it's much saver than using buggy Kies...

I've got a nandroid backup from my stock ROM in PC and on USB so if somenting goes wrong I just copy it to phone.
But my question is when I flash the official rom 4.1.2 it will unroot my phone and CWM recovery mode will be deleted because of new kernel, and if there somenting goes wrong how should I backup it when there will be no CWM recovery mode .

Or just use a temporary CWM - flash it from stock recovery, do a backup, reboot.
I had recently installed a custom rom "revolution ICS HD super silk" using cwm recovery
I had flashed a stock extended kernel before installing the rom,
And i had already perfermored the backup using backup and restore in recovery mod.
Now i wana restore the back, and my question is
HOW DO I DO THAT ? Is there any procedure or should i jz enter in recovery mode and go
backup and restore and jz click restore
I am using Live with walkman
Custom rom- Revolution ICS HD(downloaded from developmemt section)
Kernel- stock extended
Bootloader unlocked- yes
Rooted- ofcourse

Yes you can directly restore the backup. But remember that if the backup was of a different android version then you have to flash a kernel too for the backup. If your backup was of ICS and your current rom is also based on stock ICS then you can directly restore the backup
If you backup was of different android version a full wipe too is recommended?
