How to go back to Stock Rom?

Hello,
My device has rooted Android Gengerbread OS and I want to flash a stock rom for the device so I can update the rom to Icscream version. Is there any stock rom (with the original recovery) as zip flashable file?
Please help.
Thanks
Why don't you just flash the new ics ?
Hi,
You can get the stock rom for your device from the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
The thread also has links to stock ICS roms, in case you are interested
Do note that your ROOT will go once you flash the stock rom - i think that is what you intend to.
Thanks,J

Just for future reference, there is a search function on these forums. For example, I typed 'custom kernel stock rom' into it and a whole bunch of useful information appeared.
Having said that...
Is your phone s-off/rooted? You could flash a custom kernel provided that the build numbers are compatible. For example, Bricked kernel is stated to work with the majority of roms since it creates a boot.img from the one on the phone. Ultimately I would recommend extreme care and I would personally be flashing a stock-look custom rom if you still wanted the stock experience with the custom kernel.

[POLL] Kernel Knowledge

I am experienced with rooting and flashing Roms, but I have never flashed a Kernel. I know how to and I know why I would need/want to. I am just wondering what I need to do if I decide to flash a different Rom or even return to stock Rom. Example: If I flash a Kernel while running The Executioner 3 Rom for my rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, would I need to restore that Rom's original Kernel before flashing a different custom or stock Rom?
Re: [Q] Kernel Knowledge
Depends on the kernel.
Check kernel thread.
But I doubt you will have any problems
sent from that young galaxy s3!

So pretty much I would just be able to wipe data and cache and flash new rom as usual?

Nah when you flash a new rom, it flashes its own packaged kernel as well. If you flash a newer version of that rom, say Executioner 3.5 was released, it would also flash its own kernel so you would need to reflash your other custom kernel if you wanted that back. If you're moving between different roms, you wipe and clear away all of the previous mods/kernels/etc that you flashed from your prior rom.
Questions and help go in Q&A
I changed the title to reflect a POLL rather than question
FNM
what i do is set up rom to my liking, make a nandroid, then flash kernel, if i dont like the kernel i go back back to my nandroid.
Thank you all for the great answers.
