I'm running stock S2, locked to Orange (UK). I upgraded to Jellybean via Kies and since then have experienced poor battery life. Is there any way to revert back to ICS or am I stuck with Jellybean ?
Flash ics with Odin. Get firmware from sammobile.com but do stay well away from version 4.0.4 as this has brick bug

Take the LPI Firmware. It is 4.0.3 and you have no BrickBug problems.

I rooted my galaxy S2 I9100G on Android 2.3.6.
Can I update to Official ICS by clicking on option "Settings---> About phone----->Software Update" ?
No, You can't. The best way is flash ICS thru Odin. But then you must do the rooting process again.
Alright so i recently got a Galaxy S3 and rooted and flashed a leaked jellybean ROM onto it. Now that the official jelly bean has come out i want to update but i cant because kies says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". so next i tried FOTA but that didnt work either: it said "Your device has been modified, software updates are not supported".
And of course i downloaded triangle away and that didnt work, ive tried flashing the official jelly bean update but it didnt boot so i was forced to restore from my modded backup. And ive re-installed kies twice.
any help would be appreciated.
my device is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T with vodafone australia currently running the DLH9 hawkish premium light ROM.
Cheers.

I would think your best bet would be to go back to the Galaxy S3 ICS stock rom and then use Kies to update it from there. A lot of the official updates will refuse to do anything if /system has been messed with.
I recently upgraded to ICS and my phone is giving me hell i need help going back or downgrading to the stock firmware for this phone.

AFAIK the software update from samsung is for Jellybean v4.1.2.
Any OTA update will unroot ur phone for sure
PS- and do keep in mind not to create multiple threads for each of ur issue, rather update the same thread

Yeah, but use this firmware: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26616 as it is the latest 4.3, compared to the one it is showned it the tutoril, whcih I think it's 4.1. the process it's absolutely the same.
