you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock
Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

i installed cyanogen but I want original android back. can some one give me a detailed step by step on how to do it? Please help
thank you and I'm sorry, I just broke down and posted. is there any way to delete the thread?
try the "unroot. get back to original firmware" thread..
I know i have been guilty of posting questions without searching sometimes but a question like this is not only in stickies but also common sense, just flash the official donut build the same way you flashed cyanogen minus the whole double flash crap you gota do now with cyanogen builds because of google but thats besides the point. You may have to do a wipe too but i'm not sure.
another n00b thats being stupid and posting Q&A in the dev forum

You asked for these replies by putting your first post in the developers forum. Nice job noob.
WAIT WHAT?? you want original donut? cyanogen is original, but amili times better then stock. i dont know why new flashers want to go back to stock. is it because they dont have my fave?
If you really want to go back to stock I hear winmo has a phone for u....lol

hi all i have samsung captivate i897 from at&t but i am living in india i have stock android 2.2 firmware can anyone give me step by step guide to install cm on my phone my phone build is something like UCKJ1
whats wrong with the instructions that Cyanogenmod thread gives?
i am unable to understand those explanation i dont know if cyanogenmod is for froyo or gingerbread i am also not familiar with heimdall i often use odin so if anybody can give me instruction it will be very helpfull to me as i have said that i am in india so i dont want to brick my device
if it is your first rom DONT flash CM.READ and KNOW what you are doing before doing something BIG...
moving to cm will change your partitioning table. if you dont know what that means you shouldnt do it yet.
READ. LEARN. SEARCH READ MORE!!!
CM isnt 'for' froyo or gingerbread.
it REPLACES froyo or gingerbread (it doesnt matter what you are on now)
Learn, flash something NOT cm7 or miui. then learn more then flash CM
there are many how to flash guides. I know i wrote the newest one. it is stickied.
read the new user guide in my sig. learn what stickies are, then find the stickies and read them.
Go to mobiletechvideos.com or watch josh youtube videos on flashing cm keep watching read and get a usb download jig before you do anything it will save you if you [email protected]# up

The Cyanogenmod wiki has a full install guide. If I was on the computer I would link it for you, but it shouldn't be hard to find
Sent from my lightning fast Glitched 1.3Ghz CM7 i897 Captivate
like just said above the miui has an install guide on their website. if you cant follow those instructions dont flash.
Go to captivate Developement section > Find Miui thread > Click the link to go to thier site;s install instructions. DONE.
why would we RE-Write the guide just for you?
Hey guys can someone help me out here I read the help files etc. I don't know why IM having such a problem with this rooting thing..

Go to the "all in one" thread and it has all the info to root properly... They have very detailed instructions.
Just dont do anything thats NOT in the skyrocket section and a trusted source..
Just make sure you do a backup with clockwork recovery mod before you start flashing things and if you brick your phone it takes 4 easy steps to get back..
ICS is pretty stable for not even being officially released yet but still not as stable as some gingerbread roms.

BTW you have the skyrocket not the normal GS2 right?? dont want to confuse the 2 because flashing a GS2 rom will brick your phone

Yes, that is the correct device for these subforums. Just read the all-in-one thread and the threads that it links to -- no matter how experienced you are it's always a good idea to read the stickies, wikis, and how-to's for a new device.

Check the thread once.. you will be surprised.. there you will find the solutions for all your queries..
First flash clockworkmod recovery, and after that you can flash ardatdat's kernel v4 or above and it will automatically root the phone for you..

If you are unsure of rooting methods for the indian ics rom then you'll be glad to know that the rooting method for all ics roms is common.. Its not region specific..
And use the Q&A section next time..
Just follow what the others have mentioned..

hey ive got a mf3 s4 that i have rooted but have not yet put any roms on. ive read about as much as i can on here about roms and such. i know that i have to flash the mf3 zip after i flash the rom in safestrap on rom slot 1 and never to touch the stock rom slot. i just need some imput of which rom to use, they all sound great. so if u have used the roms could u give me some ideas of which to use. i like shostock but there are 3 versions and im still not sure which one to use, and gravitiron is also a posibilty. ive read where the WIFI sometimes wont work after flashing and that there is something u have to flash to get it to working. so if it doesent work and i go back to stock will the WIFI start working again.. sorry for the long post,.
Everyone has their own flavor here. What may be good for one may be utter crap to another. We all took roms out for a test drive till we found the one we were most comfortable with. Unfortunately no one will hold you hand on here and asking for what rom is best for you is frowned upon here. Thats why we never compare roms to one another.
As I said you have to take a few out for a test run and see which you like best. There all AWESOME in my opinion. Go to each rom and read the last few post and you will get an idea as to what issues people are running into is all I can advise. Plenty of reading ahead of you, we all did it.
Enjoy the learning.

I'm suprised you havent heard of this yet. Go to the general section (I think), you'll find a safe strap discussion Q&A thread. Read up and ask questions before you jump in and flash a wrong ROM or something.

okay, thanks for the video.
help me understand this. So this is like you got 2 roms in your phone at the same time. and we can flash the custom rom in slot1 2 3. and keep the stock rom right in the phone. that means we can always switch from the original stock rom and the custom rom that we install at slot 1. is that right??
As stated members are expected to do the research and decide for themself which ROM to try. The only thing you will get with a thread like this is what everyone's favorite ROM is and those threads are not allowed on XDA. Please read thoroughly all the ROM threads you are interested in before drastically altering your $700 device.
Thank you for your cooperation
