Note: Before I proceed with this part, Samsung has made it VERY EASY for new users to flash compared to the older ones, Unlike the previous version's that require you to flash it twice or such, or separate files, Their newer releases will always be in this format. With one PDA.md5 file. Unfortunately I cannot keep updating this thread with every region as the flashing methods are exactly the same as follows.
1. Firstly, Download the required firmware from here
2. Run Odin3 v3.04 at the bottom of the page.
3. Set your phone to download mode : Press Volume down + OK first, then hold Power button.
4. Connect your phone, you should see Odin shows your phone is Added with COM number.
5. Extract the contents from the zip, You should have a .dll and a 200-300 MB PDA file.
6. At this point you should see Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time unchecked.
7. Click PDA button and select the only PDA file in the zip folder (Here you should not touch any of the Re-Partition/F.Reset options as the newer Odin automatically selects it for you, how conveinient!)
8. Click Start button to flash these files to phone.
9. Do not touch anything till you see PASS on the program window.
10. Once you have flashed, after the phone started up, press *#1234# and check your PDA,Phone and CSC, everything should be there. (There should not be any "Unavailable")
11. Factory reset and enjoy
Note: XXKPQ can only be flashed with help from it's supporting predecessor XXKPE like the XXKPN/XXKPH/XXKPM series, So make sure you have XXKPE downloaded. User flashing version varies with this, but this is my successful 100% assured boot.

14. Just pull battery after that and restart phone. You should see SuperUser installed and working. Upgrade Busybox to 1.18.4 by Stericson.

I think you can flash it back. Just not sure about the bootloader staying the same, Chances are the Froyo's camera and power button wont work. Way to reverse psycho.
Also it should be safe, Anything done in Download Mode can be reversed and changed. But if not in download. Nice paperweight.
Note: Think the warranty only becomes void when you root. Cause thats tampering with system files

Reference to step 8, After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
when you click Reset, Re-Partition is automatically unselected

Flashing with XXKP7 will be just fine. My orignal is DXKB2 i think but i flashed to XXKB3 with no problems. XXKB3 is a european version but i am from Philippines. I suggest that we should wait for a more stable GB version because this one has a lot of bugs.

10. Factory reset again.
11. Check power button issue and camera. Both should be totally fine.
12. Press power button to lock and leave device for 10 mins. Now, press power button to check if the device wakes up as normal. It should. If you want to avoid the device being woken up by calls or texts or other notifications, just put it into flight mode and turn off Wi-Fi.
13. Root using SuperOneClick. It will show up Kernel Panic error in the end, but its no problem.
14. Just pull battery after that and restart phone. You should see SuperUser installed and working. Upgrade Busybox to 1.18.4 by Stericson.
15. Now install TB and go about your restoring business. DO NOT restore any system apps. Just restore User Apps and data.
16. If you didn't **** up any of the above, you should be up and running 2.3.4 without any issues (yet!).

i have to again un root n i should use universal cfroot na and if in any resaons i get again unroot from universial cfroot

Buddy the easiest way i found is , flash it with a exixting and working CFRoot or any other Kernal compatable with your rom , that should correct it , or do a Titanium backup and Flash the firmware again ..
