I recently flashed the leaked version of the ICS 4.0.3 on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket and I'm very disappointed with it. I would like to return to the original Gingerbread 2.3.6. Is there any link where i can find a Gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM file so i can flash it back into the phone? If not, how can i return to the original 2.3.6? Thanks in advance.
I don't have a link but you have to find a rom that is based off gingerbread nd flash it. Than unroot and u should get updates
You have to use k0nane's tar file to odin the phone back to 2.3.5 and then use the ota update to get to 2.3.6. But first you need to have clockwork mod so you can flash the 2.3.5 related radio file onto the phone so the ota can recognize you are legitametly on 2.3.5.
Is it safe to downgrade from stock jelly bean to stock ICS?
There reason I'm asking is that I wasn't able to get the Jelly Bean OTA to work so I manually flashed the Jelly Bean OTA using Odin. The one I flashed came pre-rooted and pre-loaded with a custom recovery. I want to have a completely untouched stock version of Jelly Bean, something I haven't been able to find here or elsewhere (I would get this by doing an OTA update to Jelly Bean from the stock ICS rom that I flash).
I'm thinking that the reason that I couldn't get the OTA to flash (it gave me an update fail notification every time) was because I wasn't completely stock on the previous ICS version, even though I had unrooted, relocked the bootloader, thawed bloat, etc.
If anyone could answer the first question, and the others I've raised, that would be great.
(I know that it is probably OK, but I wanted to double check since it was a major no-no to downgrade when I had a Droid Razr Maxx).
Yes, you can safely downgrade in order to take the OTAs.
Yes, your past OTA attempt probably failed because you weren't fully stock in some way. There is an error log stored on your phone that you could have checked for the exact cause. As a general note, OTAs require you to be on stock recovery, but not necessarily Unrooted.
You mention that you are unable to find a stock image file for the JellyBean update. This file is readily available here at XDA, and can be downloaded from the following thread:

Performing only Step 1 from that thread would leave you with a fully stock, unrooted, locked bootloader JellyBean ROM.

Guess i loss my programs and data this way?
I was able to successfully use your method but needed to do a restore all my apps and data via Titanium pro, no biggie. And you now using the correct UK version of jellybean 4.1.1. so thanks guys
The way i did it is as follows.
When i bought my tab i rooted and did a backup with CWM
I than updated to CM 10.1 and when i wanted to go back to stock i just restored the backup CWM.
Seems to have worked out for me.
Can anyway tell me how to update from 4.0.4 to 4.4.2? I just bought a rooted s3 and I unrooted it back stock with odin back to stock 4.0.4. It has always had a custom 4.0 rom running on it so it has never run anything above 4.0. I would like put the stock 4.4.2 firmware on the phone and leave it stock. If I flash 4.4.2 in odin will it be a problem with the older bootloader? Thanks to Anyone.

I'm almost sure you have to update to each version before you can move on to 4.4.2. If your bootloader unlocked based on your Android version why would you want the locked bootloader?

really i just wanted the latest version of stock firmware on it. but I cant do any updates through Verizon. after returning to stock recovery and stock firmware. I thought it would update through software updater, but doesn't, So i was trying to do it manually through odin.

Best bet is the Q&A forums within the VZW S3 of course
