If you really are a beginner and know nothing then I suggest you read as much info as you can about manual flashing using odin 3, then when you understand the processes and what each of the files do then come back and I will help you. It is the only way to do it but is not for the faint hearted. One mistake and the phone is bricked.

If you now feel comfortable with the process make sure that when you are doing the flash process that you do not run out of electricity or do anything else that will interupt the process you will find all the original firmware here Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II (http://www.sammobile.com/forumdisplay.php?f=54) but you will need to register to download them..Registration is free but I don't understand why you want to go back to stock from root. The choice is of course yours.

What do you have set up on the phone. Go into settings, about phone and let me know what the parts at the bottom say. I.e. baseband ,kernel, what firmware it is running. Then go into the part that says what's been using your battery in the about phone section. I need to know what % the android os is using.

You are running a rom from a relatively new developer who is having quite a few problems. He had released 9 versions of this rom in the last few months with varying degrees of success. Your biggest problem is that something is keeping the phone awake hence the high android system. My wifes s2 is stock and is around 10% my s is rooted with darky custom rom with titanium backup freezing the known system apps that cause the gingerbread battery drain and have known leaks thus draining battery very quickly and my android system runs at an average of 5%. Since your phone is already rooted why don't you pay a visit to www.darkyrom.com have a good read. In my opinion these are the most stable and smooth and not to forget fast custom rom developers in the business. You will find plenty info and suitable roms, the tutorials are usually very good as well.

Yes follow the instructions for installing the custom rom if you are already rooted. But read everything carefully you have only yourself to blame if anything goes wrong.

You are very welcome mate, have fun with darky. The first thing you need is titanium backup. What it does is backs up all your apps and personal data,,, contacts, photos that kind of stuff, then when you fancy putting a new rom on you click batch backup then install your new rom. After you have new rom you will find titanium is still in your files just load it back up and hit restore all apps and data. Job done all your personal settings are back to the way they were in the old rom...it takes less than 2 mins. Just restart your phone to restore all settings.

Do you know how to reset your battery stats to ensure you are getting the full use of your battery as installing a custom rom can sometimes play havoc with it only giving you a portion of your battery but indicating that it's full.

Where did you find the root explorer app. Are you remembering to allow it super user privileges. Is it just root explorer that force closes our does every other app that requires root access force close as well. That is a very old version of root explorer. I will explain battery stats reset in another post, once you have this sorted. One step at a time that way you won't get lost and if the same thing happens again you will remember what to do.
