So you obviously missed the thread stickied near the top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware' then ?
The only difference is you obviously need to get I9100G firmware from Samfirmware, not I9100.
This is basics, you should already know this stuff before you start flashing custom roms, and you're certainly not going to be spoonfed it.

You REALLY should know this....
1) no need to flash a separate kernel.
2) no need to unroot.
Flash the correct firmware via Odin and your phone will be in an "as new, out of the box" condition.....
That's ALL you need to do.

[Q] New SGS2, where's the beef?

OK, been surfing the form for a few hours now and not seeing some usual answer and questions.
Phone : T Mobile SGS2 -- Right out of the box.
1) Is there an Odin package that will replace the stock recovery with CWM for a brand new phone still running GB ?
2) Where is the Stock ICS ROM Odin pack or the Latest Samsung/T Mobile Stock GB Odin ROM (with or with out root)
Im sorry if these are repeats, i'm coming from the SGS4G forums where these are common stickies.
The T mobile version is different to the I9100 and has a sepetate forum on XDA. You might want to look there because you'll probably brick your phone using roms found here.

You can take a look at sammobile.com you'll find all new and old stock ROMs that you can flash with odin. Stock kernel is provided

Only saw there stock roms by country. I'm looking for the clean samsung rom, unchanged by the cellular operators (if such thing exists).
Thanks,
Your posts arent very informative either.
1.post details about phone.
2.if you want an unbranded stock firmware........then say so
3.read threads about noobs
Take a look at this thread, I hope it would help

[Q] Return to Stock ROM?

Hiya
How do I flash the stock TouchWiz ROM back on my S3? I'm currently on CM10.1; but it's too unstable to use for anyone other then me (passing the phone to my brother). I just want to flash the stock TW 4.1.2 ROM but not unroot it.
Is there a guide out there I can read so I don't end up bricking it? And where can I find the (zip?) files?
Thanks alot
it's been asked and answered a hundred times, use search and read the stickies

[SOLVED] I bricked my phone..urgent help needed please..

I updated my sgs2 officially yesterday from ICS to jellybean 4.1.2...it was working good but I lost root...I searched the web to root it again and foung this website..
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-gt-i9100-jelly-bean-android-4-1-14-1-2/
I successfully rooted it but to my bad luck I tapped on the supersu as mentioned in the video demonstration at the website and things went wrong..the supersu asked me whether to start normally or CWM recovery, I opted for CWM recovery...Now my phone is stuck at the yellow triangle..I can go to download mode only...I reflashed the same kernel but in vain...
Please help me to recover my phone as I need it badly...many thanks in advance.
Let me tell you that I leave in middle east and as I remeber it was updated to XXls8 or something.

Do you recommend to flash this rom instead of stock rom? But where from download? And how to flash?
Go back to stock first; it will give you a 'clean slate'. Getting your phone working normally/usable should be your only priority/thought at this stage. You can worry about flashing other roms/kernels once you've done that.

Thanks MistahBungle for your help. From where I should download stock rom and how to flash? Further help will be much appreciated.
Search Samfirmware for an unbranded one for your country (or a carrier-specific one if you prefer/if there isn't an unbranded one). Guides/tutorials are stickied in the General section (3rd post from the top from memory).

Thanks a lot MistahBungle and all who supported me...Thanks God I finally reflashed stock ROM which I downloaded from Samfirmware and it is working well.
May I request all those geeks to guide me to root the easiest way. Further I will request you people to tell me the Best ROM which support RTL...Bundle of thanks.
Good man. You're welcome Easy way to root is to flash the Odin version of any custom kernel which works with Android version of the stock rom you're currently running (Siyah & Dorimanx are but two, there are others); read the thread devoted to the particular kernel you want to flash to work out which build you need to use. Once you flash it you'll have a rooted phone with CWM.
'Best rom' threads are not allowed here; once you have CWM installed it's really easy to flash/try a bunch of roms & find one you like, it takes 5 minutes to backup or restore, if you find you don't like a rom you try, it's easy to go back to your previous setup & try another. Generally if you need things that are a 'bit fiddly' to 'just work' without dramas, you're better off sticking with stock. But you can check the threads of various custom roms to see if they support the features you need to use. You could always dual boot if the particular features you want to use only work with stock, yet you like a particular custom rom & want to use it as a daily driver.
