Yes and you need a proper recovery. I suggest you a dorimanx, but watch out for the right version. The 9.xx is for cm, aokp... and the 8.xx is for stock sammy so download the right one.

Dorimanx is an XDA dev who works on a i9100 kernel, named after himself. I absolutely love this kernel. It's stable, highly customisable and often updated. Search XDA for it and you shall find.
So you want stock, as evidenced below:

Fish finger (hahaha) all you want is to update to the latest Samsung official firmware right? If so, forget what kona said, you don't need a recovery at all. All you need to do is to flash a stock ROM via Odin, with your phone in download mode. Where to get the ROM? Search on Samfirmware.com for a stock ROM for your country, region & carrier. Then, to flash in Odin, you can click the link in my signature and find a handy link to a tutorial from there.

I have the UnNamed 2.2.1 Rom with Entropy's Kernel but it has had problems when I flash Siyah and personally I like Siyah a lot more. May someone give me instructions on how to install UnNamed 2.2.1 with Siyah newest version and the Modded Build.Prop Version 2.

All this information is available - you can put it together yourself from the available threads. Flashing Siyah on UnNamed should take nothing but flashing it. The modded Build.Prop, same deal if you'll go read.
No handholding when it's that simple - and "has had problems" is a poor way to ask for help.
Okay first I have followed all the correct instructions for installing and forgot to mention I want to install init.doh. The error it gives me are the status bar crashing errors.

don't you flash Siyah through odin, where as the ROM is flashed through CWM?

I had the same status/notification bar crashes/fc's. Read the init.doh thread at the end for the fix. It's on the lady page, last 4 or so posts detail it.

Not sure if you were just kidding,...but...there is a zip for each Siyah that can be flashed through cwm just like the ROM.
Thanks for the response,
lol, unfortunatley I wasn't kidding. My knowledge is limited to say the least, however when I rooted my phone I did flash a kernal through odin and not CWM, so I guess I just wasn't aware they came in .zip files.
thanks for the info.
could someone give me link or point me to the solid stable ICS build for GS3- preferable stock lookingm - aka Android Revolution HD is jelly and no ICS on server t odownload anymore. so could someone share some "old" ROM/Info with me?
No CM9 pls- as it caused loose of imei for me.

That's the pure stock rom by samsung mate. Android Revolution is same + some mods (which I don't like). If you want AOSP google stock look - all of them are based on CM9/10
Hi all. I am using the gingerbread speedmod kernel and I am on gingerbread stock rom. What kernels should I use to install the revolt JB rom? Thanks for any help in advance
Basically any ICS kernel. Most of them work with JB. Siyah kernel is a good choice. But when you flash the kernel, you'll have to install that Revolt rom right away since you won't be able to boot Gingerbread on ICS/JB kernel. You'll just get a bootloop.
Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
So what you mean is that when I am in odin, flash the kernel, immediately go to recovery mode and flash the rom? But I thought after you flash the kernel your phone will reboot and thus go into boot screen? Unless you take out the battery or something
First flash stock 4.0.3 firmware on your phone. Then install siyah. That'll give you custom CWM recovery. And using that you can install your JB ROM.
Any other way and you'll just be stuck with a bootloop. Hopefully you know all about having a nandroid backup, backing up your efs and basics of using Odin having previously installed a custom kernel

You kinda got me at flashing stock firmware and nandroid. How do I flash a stock firmware and do a nandroid backup? I mean I only rooted my phone with a video tutorial so I'm not really that familiar about other stuff...
Thats been done and asked many times over in this forum. Tutorials for all what you've asked are available in the General section. Do have a look at those and search some similar threads. If there's still something you don't understand, you can always ask and people are here to help. But like the rules say, search first mate.

I searched and I found stock firmware with Asia as the region but the country is Malaysia but I live in Singapore. The baseband version is also different. But can it work?
It'll work as long as its the firmware for your device.. ie.you don't flash an i9100G firmware on your i9100 and vice versa. The baseband deals with your signal. That can always be changed at a later stage if necessary.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Oh I understand now. I've searched the forums and found that 4.0.4 ICS which is leaked and may lead to a hard brick. But I can't find any 4.0.3 firmware as it's for i9100G...
Is this the correct thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812. Sorry if I'm a little paranoid...
Btw my model version is the GT-i9100. And do I download the kernel from the thread above?
Good enough. Download a 4.0.3 firmware from there. In the meantime read up on Odin since you'll need that to install the firmware. There's a huge noobs guide to using Odin somewhere on the forum. And also search for a tool to backup your EFS if you haven't already.
And don't forget to thank the posters. People take time out to help others. Only expect you to hit the thanks button in return :beer:

Firmware (ROM). Not kernel. The firmware is a pretty large download..around 200Mb or more whereas the kernel will barely be 10mb or so. If you only flash the kernel you'll have an ICS kernel and GB ROM. Won't work.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So do u have to get the kernel from another link? Since the link I showed you is for ICS. So that means any Siyah kernel would be fine as long as it's for my firmware, right?
Is there any chances of bricking of my phone?

No. If you install
the firmware, the kernel comes included in it.
There is just one siyah kernel. Different versions, but its still the same. Download and install the latest version for the S2. ie. v4.1.5 AFTER you're on ICS.

There is always a risk involved. It is minimized to almost near zero levels if you read all the guides and tutorials available on this site carefully. If you're too lazy to do that, then its your fault if you've bricked your device. If there's something you don't understand, use Google. There are instructions/step by step guides/ video walkthroughs/ galore. If everything else fails, ask.
As long as you've not hardbricked your phone with the emmc bug, its almost always recoverable even if bricked. And that's avoidable merely by sticking to 4.0.3.

As per the first page of this thread, get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin (download mode); Guides. Or, if you search the General section (or do a Google search with XDA appended to your search terms; I do not have a link so don't ask) there is a thread in there somewhere with CWM flashable stock roms. But if you want to get the phone back to a similar state to when you bought it, do an Odin flash.
Nobody's going to regurgitate step by step instructions especially for you given it's been done thousands of times before in other threads. As a wise man on here says in his signature 'n00b OK, lazy n00b not OK'.
