Easiest way to restore to stock is below,
Go to http://www.sammobile.com and download p3100's firmware based on your country.
Download Odin and using Odin Flash the downloaded firmware.
Use Cf-auto-root to root. And use Triangle Away if you like to rest flash counter.

DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?
1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

Hi guys
at first thanks for time you spend to read my problam :angel:
i have Samsung Galaxy SL i9003
and i still work on 2.3.6 and i hate it and it's very and super lagy :crying:
i know how to setup stock rom from odin , it's very easy
but i really can't get how setup custom rom
andi don't know any thing about custom rom ,
and hope any one tell me how to do and explan it to me simpely , not good in english
and tell me the best custom rom that i can use it every day and work fine and fast , and get links for me
i speak arabic & i'm not good in english , sorry for my bad english guys
All custom roms for android 4.x have few bugs. So, if you are okay with that, I will suggest installing CM11. It works nice except for few bugs here and there.
But, if you prefer a fully stable rom, you have to stick with android 2.3.6. In that case, I will suggest FlyOnGB rom. Also, you can try doing a factory reset and see if that helps.

FlyOnGB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2353292
As for setting up odin, you can use it only to install md5 or tar files. nearly all custom rom are uploaded as zip file, and are to be flashed from recovery mode. You will need to copy the zip file to phone, and boot into recovery using Vol Up + Home + Power key. Of course, you will need to root your phone to go into recovery mode.

Custom roms are already rooted, so you don't need to do anything on them. To root a stock rom, you need to flash the cf-root for that particular rom, and then restart the phone. Use this link to download the cf-root file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331253
To flash the cf-root file, first you need to flash the stock rom, and restart the phone. Then you can use Odin to flash the cf-root just like you flash a rom.
Google apps are your default android apps (play music, maps, google search and such). You don't need these necessarily, as you can download them from play store too. Few roms have bugs with play store apps, therefore they give you modified version of them in that thread.
If you want to flash the google apps, you can do it just like you do it for custom rom. After installing custom rom, just reboot to recovery mode. Now, select the google apps zip file, and install it the same way you installed the custom rom.
If you are stuck, follow the steps from those link as it is. Use this link for more help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
Okay , so as the topic says .. I am facing problem while flashing cm11 build #5 by cooldevelopment for the non-NFC version of the Samsung galaxy s2 plus i9105 . I have rooted (my friend's ) phone by first installing cwm by chotu222 via Odin , unchecking f.reset time and auto reboot and flashing it via pda and selecting it . while it was flashing , I waited for the " reset " blue tag in odin to turn "pass" green tag and only then I unplugged it and booted into recovery mode while in the download mode. I was rewarded with cwm instead of the phone's default android recovery . I proceeded and flashed the SuperSU file from the cwm recovery and rebooted . I was successful in my attempt of rooting my friend's android . I updated the binaries and set up my traditional settings in the root app ( always granting permissions to apps and changing the emblem etc . ) I had downloaded the cm11 .zip and had transferred it to the sd card .. I booted the phone into recovery mode . I was over confident that the flashing process would anyhow be successful and I ( it was a huge mistake ) without backing up my stock rooted rom , wiped everything and tried to flash the rom . After wiping Everything , i tried to flash the rom and it " aborted the installation " I repeated the whole process again to gain the same result . my friend had a bricked s2 plus for the whole night . I flashed the stock 4.2.2 rom via odin and the device is fine now . I too own a device ( samsung galaxy s2 i9100) and as per my knowledge , ( if i am not wrong ) , kit kat roms requires cwm recovery version to be v6.0.4.5 or higher and i was not ( i think i was on cwm v6.0.3.x ) . any idea ? was it a bad download after all ? Do I need to flash a custom kernel before flashing the rom to avoid the superbrick bug in the stock kernel ? Please help me and thanks a lot for your time :good:
P.S. My friend's phone was on 4.2.2 bootloader before rooting and installing the custom cwm recovery .
I hope I am clear enough and elaborated enough so that you all can help me out .

yeah but it could be a bad download
do you have a 'Status" error? can you tell me what kind of status error?
i guess it was status 7 ( installation aborted ) which I suppose is because of either a bad download or cwm not meeting the recovery requirements . Thanks though

u mea to say flashin different version of CWM also fails???
u tried flashing twrp?
personal experience i am on 6.0.4 everything is ok..
in Odin flash the cwm ...
i have flashed it with cwm 5.5 and no bugs other than listed in the thread of speedmod..!!
yeah i tried to flash another version of CWM but it didn't work ... Does it make sense i couldn't flash roms or CWM versions because i flash the CWM 6.0.3.5 using terminal emulator ? :\
and I didn't try to flash twrp but if i want to .. how could i overwrite cwm and replace with twrp ?
and if i tried to flash speedmod using odin it's gonna work right ?
but i prefer to stay away from odin because it's dangerous a little for me as a beginner
now i'm trying to install jelly plus rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649307
it was the same result it didn't work too
there is a guy said that some mobiles can not install roms directly from CWM .. he said that i should install it using odin .. is that true ?
please i need help guys
just flash correct recovery through odin,any cwm version will work,listed in forums for our device,then just wipe data,cache,dalvik and flash the rom,i have done it about 10-20 times now,nothing has ever gone wrong..!!!
just follow the correct steps..!!
Hi guys
I flashed my CWM 6.0.3.5 through terminal emulator .. but i tried to flash two different ROMs and i tried to flash another CWM but it failed all
now i have to flash CWM trough Odin ... can i flash a new CWM trough odin directly ? or i have to flash a stock recovery using odin before flashing CWM ? and if i have to flash stock recovery could you give me a link for download it ? I searched but no result
thanks guys
BTW speedmod ROM is the best ever thing could happen to ACE plus !!
Try ROM Manager app from play store and flash the appropriate cwm version. And I believe you can flash without going back to stock
You can also switch to twrp...
Please hit thanks if I helped you anyway
use cwm 5.5.0.4 or twrp 2.5
when i tried to install CWM through ROM manager a pop-up window appear saying that GT-S7500 does not have an officially CWM supported yet :/
.. my device was not listed above :/
And can I flash twrp without going back to stock recovery ??
