A very simple and newbie question: Can I flash any stock ICS over any stock GB via ODIN? Does the country matter in this case?

How can I reflash the stock ROM on my phone? Is there a way in Kies?
I'm from Australia and need to do this like asap...
Hi. I have my SGSII which is really easy to modify and install firmwares and ROMs, but my fathers X8 is messed up. All I could find is ROMs but not firmwares for download. I can't install 2.3 ROM on 2.1 fw, right?; At least not on SGSII, so where can I dl GB firmware?
Maybe I'm stupid, but what's the difference between ROM and firmware? SE doesn't support x8 any more and left xperia owners with official Eclair 2.1 ROM, so all You are able to do is root Your father device, install recovery and flash a ZIP file which include GB 2.3 ROM for stock kernel (Like GingerDx f. eg.).... OR unlock bootloader (if You can of course, manufacture date here is important), flash custom kernel and than flash custom ROM (like GB MiniCM7 or iCS MiniCM9).
Well while I was reading on SGSII subforum tips I saw that you cannot flash ICS rom on Android 2.3, you have to install first ICS firmware, then flash ICS ROM.
Thanks I will try flashing GB ROM.
Can any1 school me on this?
I flashed LPF to my polish N7000 along w a new bootloader & csc (Hong Kong TGY) I flashed them all...it works great
I want 2 go to 4.0.4
but I'm worried about my bootloader and csc since most stayed on LPA & didn't flash the new bootloader I'm worried my downgrade process is different...I don't kno anything about bootloaders and understandably w all the bricking drama I'm paranoid about it...
Can any1 tell me what Rom kernal bootloader csc should I flash...to safely get off LPF and get 2 a safe rooted versatile ICS kernal through GB?

A safe bet would be to go to stock GB, root it, flash required recovery and then flash the 4.0.4 through the GB Recovery you have installed. Or use Abyss and flash your way through. Cheers!

This ^^
But bare in mind that there are no "Safe" 100% kernels on ICS - in 4.0.4 the reports seems to be that brickbug is still present in the kernel..
Most, if not all will tell you never to reset / factory wipe with ICS Kernel.

Hello
Just upgraded to a Note II and have sold my Note 1. The new owner wants stock rom, root and unlocked bootloader. Is there any guide for reverting? I could probably just flash a stock rom trough CWM?
I'm just a little concerned about the earlier problems with breaking the storage part on the phone.
you can use odin to flash a stock rom.
