Restoring stock. (need kernel) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been running a custom 4.1 firmware for a long time now, and i'd like to try the stock firmware for a while now.
I've downloaded the old gingerbread rom I9100BUKJ3_I9100SIMKI2_I9100BUKI1_HOME.tar.md5 that my phone had from sammobile. But I still need to find the old stock kernel. After that I can flash it and update with kies.
I've found it only here, but the link is broken.

Can someone help me with this?

The firmware *should* come with a kernel......I flashed back to stock (with mobile odin) and the stock kernel/stock recovery was installed from the firmware package.

Try to flash with ODIN first if you cannot flash by CWM!
I had same problem . I flashed stock firmware and then flashed siyah kernel through odin and my phone started . Then i rebooted into recovery mode and flashed custom rom.
And also do wipe before flashing custom firmware

[Q] Upgrading SGS2. Need goog adwice

Lords of Firmware and Gods of Root, need you attention!
Hi. I checked xda forum and cannot find full answer on my question.
Please, help me, if you can.
I recently bought sgs2 for me and my wife.
My wife use stock firmware and updating by OTA.
I have stock firmware with CF rooted kernel
When we bought SGS2 (From Poland) with latest GB stock firware.
We together updated by OTA to stock ([email protected] #3 IML74K.XXLPQ) firmware.
When I root my SGS2 with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 using Odin.
In 6 april we were reminded of a new version by OTA and I updated wife's phone. Now her firmware version is [email protected] #3 IML74K.XXLPS.
I want update my phone too, I read the posts about CWM and looked at thread "[02.04.2012][CF-Root 5.4] K/EFGHIJKLP*, LA2/4, LP1/2/6/B/H/J/Q/7/3/S - su+bb+CWM4/5" and understand how to do:
1)Download rooted kernel with name like CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPS, but I cannot find this kernel - only CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPS-v5.4-CWM5.zip available.
Can I use this kernel or wait for CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPS.
What difference in kernel between OXA (Maybe UK??) and XEO (Poland)?
2) Download stock kernel from samsung I9100XXLPS_I9100OXALPS_I9100XXLPS_HOME. I've done it.
3) Place to external_sd/firmware rooted kernel and stock firmware.
4) Using CWM App flash CF kernel, when flash stock firmware without kernal and wipe dalvic cache
Am I right? I not loose my apps and setting?
if I update my phone (with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5) by OTA I loose root and CWM Recovery, but later can install CF root using Odin?

If you are already rooted and already downloaded stock firmware, why not try mobile odin to update. that way you won't loose root

HELP installing custom rom please

Hey all.
After reading about the brickbug and failing the eMMC test, im a little confused as to the safest way to root and install a custom rom.
I am currently runnning ICS 4.0.3 with I9100TDULPB kernel on an aussie vodafone branded device.
Do i simply use odin to flash a stock samsung JB ROM, then flash Philz or Siyah JB kernel for root+cwm, then custom rom install via cwm?
I would also like to retain the option of flashing my carrier stock image incase of warranty purposes.
Cheers

Exactly !
PD: Remember to follow the installation instructions on the rom thread, otherwise u'll end in nasty bootloops
Thanks for the quick reply
So this will ultimately allow me to odin flash back to the stock ICS Vodafone Branded ROM later down the track?
Cheers.

Well if you want to flash a official stock rom then you can only find them on sammobile.com and only way to flash it from odin. After that you can use Philz to install CWM if you want.
Hope it helps

There are also some that you can flash via CWM. If you are rooted.

I ended up using the Smart Switch to revert to stock. Stock apparently doesn't have an update for me, so I tried to Odin the latest XEU version. However Odin won't see my phone
