Can any one point me in the right direction please.

I have been keeping up with the nightly releases and everything is fine.

My issue is that I have got a smashed screen and so need to send the phone off to the insurance company. (Not looking forward to being without the phone for a week)

What I want to know is what is the easiest way to get the phone back to stock gingerbread/touchwiz etc?

Im assuming once the phone is returned I can just install the Odin release of CM9 and then upgrade from there as usual but not sure what the easiest way to downgrade would be. I am conscious of the issues people are having with the latest Samsung bootloader and I don;t want to end up with that.

Thanks to all in advance.

Thanks for the replies regarding scrolling guys! I can put my kind at ease somewhat now knowing that I'm not the only one having the issue. For a while I was convinced I was doing something seriously wrong and it was driving men nutty ;) I guess I'll just keep trying each new build as it comes out until it's fixed!
[Galaxy S II General] frkazid:
Try AntTek Explorer. Allow Superuser and look at "Device > system > media"

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running stock cm-kernel

- have installed any mods

- have modified system files

as of now, avoid SiyahKernel as it causes more problems than it solves.

[Galaxy S II General] Canuck_123:
I upgraded to build 26 from a much earlier version (03-05 I think) that didn't have MTP support. connected my phone to my Win7 laptop and it recognized it as a new device. Windows automatically searched the web for the proper drivers which took a few minutes, downloaded and installed them, and the phone is now recognized as an MTP device. I'm guessing it is a driver issue for you - maybe delete the old ones?

This build is great so far, I've had zero issues other than known ones.

[Galaxy S II General] Goku80:
few things i noticed lately. Siyah although one of the greatest kernels i have tried it breaks up things from what i have used and tried today. no MTP support at the moment on latest beta and to be honest although scrolling feels great with stock kernel seems alot more smoother.

Still not complaining as that kernel is beta and each version he releases will only get better so great respect to GM for that. Regarding people that issue problems regarding Siyah there are two or three threads now were you can post your problems and there are people there that will help. Two in general forums and the development thread that you can use guys.

My advice after playing with the latest beta stay with the stock kernel by Cody..(hehe new nickname)

Regarding all other issues..Apart from video recording everything works like a charm...Feel like shedding a tear due to the how awesome this rom is..And also if you guys check out the development thread more great devs are lending a hand so things can only get better.

keep up the good work guys

I thought the yellow triangle was because I had an insecure kernel on and so putting stock back on would remove that.

[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Due to Samsung mangling the GPS status reporting interface (They added an extra field to the data structure where each satellite reports status), satellite status reporting is not working well.

Even if the GPS is locked onto 7-8 satellites, it will only report 1-2 satellites that are not used in the GPS fix.

I'll be working on a patch for gerrit submission to fix this reporting issue tonight, don't know how long it'll take to get integrated - it's going to be my first gerrit submission.

It is ONLY a display issue - if you see a position fix and only two satellites reported, you know that SOMETHING is not correct because you can't have a position fix with less than 3 satellites. If you see altitude, you know there has to be at least 4 sats. So the "2 sats" thing is just a display bug, internally the GPS is locking more but it's just not reported correctly due to Samsung not following the standard interface for the GPS driver.

I was thinking on what would I do if I needed to return it.

I would probably use triangleaway from chainfire to remove the triangle and counter without a jig, then flash a stock rom trough mobile Odin, since I believe that mobile Odin does not get registered in samsung's counter.

I could be wrong of course. What do you guys think?
