returning to stock over different Kernel? [SOLVED]

I'm currently running Avatar JB ROM (best thing ever!) on my i900p with no problems, but this morning I cracked the screen so it's going back to Orange and I need to return to stock.
My question is can I just flash the stock Orange ROM over the top via ODIN or do I need to flash a different kernel too? I read something about ICS/JB kernels not mixing and the stock Orange is ICS.
Thank you
No need to flash a different kernel. Just flash stock ROM via Odin. You may do a factory reset before flashing also.

Galaxy S2 Problem

Hey guys a friend of mine wanted to upgrade his phone via kies but he forgot his phone was rooted is there anyway he can fix it
On his phone he can access download mods
Some members have reported having issues upgrading via Kies while rooted.
So u have 2 options:
1. Re-flash current ROM via Odin to unroot, then update via Kies.
2. Directly flash the update via Odin (you save one step).

Odin v3.07
See here:

Also, if ur interested, there is a mobile version of Odin that is easier and much safer (but requires root). Search for 'Mobile Odin' on XDA.

Try using a different cable and different port. Disable antivirus. And kill any running kies processes..

S2 i9100g bootloader unlock

Can anyone help me how to unloack my galaxy s2 i9100g bootloader?
Running on 4.1.2 jelly bean.
Please help me
Why not ask or search in this thread?

To unlock bootloader, simply use your phone. One of the few good things about Samsung is they don't lock stuff down, comes already unlocked.
Unless you were getting terminology mixed up and actually wanted something else?

Have you rooted your phone or have you only installed cwm recovery? You can open cwm recovery (=bootloader) by pressing "power+home+volume up" (I hope you knew this ).

I know that
The bootloader was unlocked all the time. Since you flashed cwm, the cwm bootloader is aviliable. What happens when you press "power+home-volume up"?

Since u have both, u can directly flash any custom rom u want to. Just follow the instructions given in the custom rom thread.
