Can anyone tell me the best/safest way to get back to a stock GB rom on the ACE?. On Jellyblast at the moment.

Download stock rom of your choice from sammobile and use Odin v3.07 to flash..
You can find some guides around here how to flash via Odin.
And, next time either use the Q/A section or the OFF-TOPIC Thread.
Cheers, I was using the wrong Odin!

Hi Guys,
Recently I rooted and flashed with the custom Kernel on my SGS II. But now decided to go back to the official ROM.
So my question is, when I flash it with official ROM (through ODIN). Will the custom Kernel be replaced by the official Kernel that came with the official ROM?
Thank you in advance to the kind soul that replied.
Yes.

Yes, if you needs custom kernel again then you have to flash it separately via Odin again.

If you don't have jig, I suggest to flash to ics first, use triangleaway and then flash back to stock with mobile odin

No official ics releases yet. They were just suggesting a round about way of getting rid of the triangle by flashing a leaked version of ics then using an app to remove the triangle then use something like CWM or mobile Odin to flash back to a GB Rom.
Like I said long winded process.
Just flash an official firmware. Then flash cfroot kernel for that version of firmware. Then if you want to get rid of the triangle use a USB jig available for a few dollars off eBay.

Is there a way for me to install leaked ICS on my non rooted at&t note, then if I don't like it, go back to gingerbread without rooting or problems?? Thanks for any help! I can't take not having ICS anymore!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The leaks both have odin built in and don't require that you be rooted to use. Just download double click and enjoy.
There's a new more complete leak coming soon.

I understand that I don't need to be rooted. My question is...IF I would like to go back to Gingerbread from a leak without rooting, could I? That way I could get the OTA?

Wait for the new leak above. You can flash it with odin via your pc. If you don't like it (you will) you can flash back to stock also via odin. Its 100% easier just to root though. When the OTA comes out it will posted here in a matter of minutes for everyone to flash and enjoy.

Without root access you can't back up your apps and your phone.
But you can always flash the stock gingerbread with odin and raise your flash counter.
Thanks for all the advice! I have never used Odin before. I'm used to just dropping a ROM on the card and flashing or just plugging into my computer for something I downloaded. This is my first Samsung Galaxy device. Anything I should know before hand? My previous device was a Droid X.

You mean if the OTA released by AT&T.. I need to flash that with ODIN again?
If I go back to stock Gingerbread via ODIN.. then I can update OTA not necessarily using ODIN again.. right?
sorry for my dumb question..

Right. If you odin back to stock gingerbread you can wait for the OTA update. Whenever that may come. OR you can flash the update via odin when it comes out. Whenever it comes out officially you can use the method of your choice.

if you dont like, odin back to gingerbread

I recommened you root, its easy
then you can simply flash ICS. if no likee, use your backup from Nandroid,which will save all your files , texts, programs, call logs, etc(when you odin to stock you'll have a brand new like rom,no data)
I am thinking about installing a custom kernel and was just wondering how easy it is to install the stock kernel back if I need to? Do I have to do a nandroid backup and full restore or can I find just find the stock kernel somewhere and flash it?
Regards,
BTJ
it's not hard....
easiest way....go download original stock firmware from other thread....
to put original back, simply flash it with mobile Odin....or Odin

Hey Galaxy SII people, I need some help with a friend's SII.
I'm quite knowledgeable with custom ROMs and recoveries, but I have no idea what to do with a stock phone.
The phone is rooted and not getting the OTA to ICS. I want to get the OTA, losing root not necessarily a problem.
Can someone give me a hand with this? I have no idea what I need to do.
The phone also has the stock recovery.
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a conclusive, comprehensive answer.
Go to samfirmware and download the update firmware and install it via odin.
All the best.

Flash stock ROM from http://samfirmware.com/ via Odin. Search for galaxy S2 ROMs, just make sure you don't download the dangerous ROMs (the ones with a warning triangle next to them).

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm downloading a zip now. I flash this with Odin/Heimdall? I thought I needed a .tar and a bunch of other files to flash with Odin.
This won't keep root, right? Is there any way I could get root back after flashing?
Also, will this wipe /data?
Oh, and I have the option to download a ROM for a specific carrier. Does that mean I can't use another carrier?
Edit: While I'm at it, is the stock recovery needed for anything stock ROM related?
Yes download will be in the form of a zip file, once downloading is complete you can extract the tar. file and place in the PDA section of odin. This will not wipe your device, well never has done for me. Yes you will loose root as you have a completely new rom with stock kernel. See the guide for rooting your chosen firmware. As for the carrier i always use the unbranded /open version as this has less bloat ware. All the best.

We would be thankful if you tell us what ROM you want.
You wanna go stock, you are already on stock jb.
You want ICS? GB? JB leak? ....Froyo?
Ok, ICS it is.
And yeah, you'll lose root once you flash it as long as you don't flash with mobile odin pro.

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'.
