found a recovery that can let you flash stock rom 4.1.2 jb .. watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbDs9Qk97k
now i can do what the video says, but is it necessary to download the stock firmware that came along with the phone when i got it? or can i choose whatever region from sammobile? doesn't make a difference right?
Correct.

After countless flashing of custom roms, ICS, kernels etc. I forgot what the stock firmware that my phone was shipped in and I want to flash it back to stock. Is there any other way to know the stock shipped firmware version without looking in the settings since I am running ICS unofficial ROM now.
Nope. Just flash it to the latest stock firmware available.
thanks for your reply I actually tried many stock firmwares but it didnt work, so I checked the back of my phone and found out it was a french phone. Downloaded the firmware KJ2 and it worked whilst others (KI4, KI3) gave me a bootloop
Hey guys,
I recently rooted my S2 and installed a custom ROM because i was sick of waiting for Samsung to release ICS in my region ( Also i love stock ICS ).
Recently they released ICS in my region so i went to sammobiles to download the firmware.
My Question is that do PDA and CSC change for each new version of android released or am i supposed to wait for the firmware with the same PDA and CSC as the version i was using.
Also I wanted to know if I could flash firmware of different region on the phone without it having any errors
Thank you.

u can flash any stock rom ...
The only small issue you might face if you flash stock firmware for a different region is you may not be able to get OTA updates for your region when they're released. But it's easy enough to flash them via Odin so this isn't a massive problem.

Hey, if you want to make the ''most safest mode'' , wipe and etc... Then you should flash via odin the latest ICS Poland Unbranded XEO, then when you're go in the first configuration of software update you will get the Jelly Bean OTA. It's very easy.
Link for ICS POLAND : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/168356155/759deaa/I9300XXBLH1_I9300OXFBLH1_XEO.zip.html
OR you may want to flash the already available Poland Jelly Bean firmware, and a full wipe and factory reset is recommended. The link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/173577508/3316be3/I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_XEO.zip.html
Tell me the way you choose and if it worked fine. :fingers-crossed:
Hello,
I recently flahed my phone but now i want to un-flash it and install the stock rom so that I could recive the updates etc. and also sell the phone.
I found a video how to do it on youtube. But my problem is where can I find a stock rom? The issue here is that im from Estonia and have no idea, what would be the stock rom here. Where can i find it and download ?
Best wishes,
Marc
try "emergency firmware update/initialization" on KIES
Stock roms via sammobile.com .

I want to install the new KitKat firmware. I still haven't received for my SGP 311 (Germany WiFi).
I was wondering if it's possible to install it by hand which also means I need to download it from somewhere.
Is this possible? Like in Samsung Galaxy S2 phones, we can flash the firmware via ODIN
Thanks
You can use Flashtool (which is Sony's version of the ODIN) and Ftf file. However, I failed to find a Kitkat FTF for the SGP311. Seems like no one made it.
However, you can flash the SGP312 firmware, I think. You just have to exclude something related to partition sizes. I can't remember exactly what it is right now.
