Hi ppl,

I'll soon sell my SGS2 to a family member's friend.
He's not fine with CM9, so I'd put back stock (even latest ICS) for him.

Unfortunately, I've no Windows PC (so, no Odin), and also always had problems with Heimdall (on my MAC).


So, I'd like to ask:

is it possible to flash an european (even better, italian) stock ROM, all set (ideally with no triangle, I managed to reset it on CM9 but won't be able to do that on stock once root is gone) directly from my actual CWM recovery ?


MANY thanks

You may be able to with Mobile Odin, i strongly recommend you purchase the Play store (paid) version.

First install and run Triangle Away also by Chainfire to reset flash counter and remove the Yellow Trianlge at boot. Next download your stock firmware and flash with Mobile Odin. Remove the option to Root, install busy box etc.

Read the links in my signature for further information, MAKE SURE YOU READ

Yes mobile odin or cwm recovery will do the job of flashing a stock rom, & flashing a stock rom this way will not give you a yellow triangle or increase your flash counter! if you want to clear/reset your flash counter before you flash the stock rom, then as already mentioned use Triangle Away app by chainfire for that, but you don't mention your galaxy s2 model or carrier? do you just want an unbranded/unlocked stock rom?..... either way this is where you'll find the latest official stock roms: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1#osa
You'll have to register to download!

Unbranded, as it was in origin.

CWM would be great, but I'm having difficulties in finding a plain, unmodded, not rooted stock to just flash from recovery
