Default revert to stock rom and Kies

Dear cypherlwind,

Yes it is possible to use kies after reverting to a stock rom.
Keep in mind that it needs to be a official samsung stock rom.

See the following links to obtain a stock rom:

In order to update via kies the phone needs to have a stock combination of stock firmware, so a kernel, rom, csc and modem that shipped together, rather than mix and match.

Its buggy, unstable, and no really ready for non advanced users, more than one person has managed to brick there phone flashing it without reading first.

I would stay away.
