unless otherwise noted by samfirmware, their stock ROMs are Odin flashable.
How would I go about it? Which options would I use?
Sorry, I'm an odin noob.

Okay it worked, but it's still overclocked and it still has root.... Its installing the OTA 2.3.6 right now
(edit)
Just checked, Clockwork is gone.
:| Are you doing this because of ICS? Because if it comes out it will only be maybe a couple weeks before root and then you can just flash that on top of your current rooted instead of having to go through more work...
Hopefully we will get AoSP ICS so I won't need the touchwiz ugly version. (unless, however, it's the new tw that comes with GS3 )
Yes, prep for ics. I want ics as fast as possible! (And I love touchwiz)

Yesterday I tried to watch some videos on the YouTube app. Any video I tried, the screen would remain black and the phone would vibrate two times before saying it was not able to play the video and try again. Same issue happened today. I even tried uninstalling the updates, but still nothing. Did a couple reboots just in case, still no luck. I don't recall having this problem before but then again it's been awhile since I've messed with YouTube on my phone. Did some searching, couldn't find a solution.
Currently running 2.3.4 GB EG22. (no set dev make)

Why are you still on a leak? We have official EI22 2.3.5 now. Flash a new ROM and try it. If it still does not work uninstall the app and redownload from the market. You have not deleted any DRM files, right?

I didn't realize there was a full release. Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I get home.
And, I have not deleted any DRM files, to my knowledge.
I've had a similar problem it was because of the kernel that this would occur just flash one of the newest ei22 roms and you'll be good to go

Nope. I never got an OTA. Factory data wipe formats system, data and cache. OTA actually screws up people's phones. Better to Odin EC05, root and flash a GB ROM, then flash the modem delta.

If I'm going to an EI22 ROM, I don't have to Odin back to an older modem to go to the newer one, do I? I just got confused by the recent replies about going to EC05 and then going to EI22. Why downgrade just to upgrade?

We never got a modem.bin for EI22 only a delta from EC05 so yes you have to Odin in EC05 modem for the flashable to work.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I take it that the EI22 is an update that happens when I got into About Phone and have it check for updates?
Well, when u odin back to ec05 and turn on ur phone, sometimes u get an automatic alert about the update, and sometimes u have to tap on "update android" to make it happen. But u will eventually will see the update. It does take awhile though. Make sure u have a full battery doing this.

? Just being rooted will not stop the update. In fact most paths will let you take the update and brick your phone if you actually did things like removing system apps. Luckily thats usually a soft brick.
Are you on EL29, some other Gingerbread, one of the 4.0.3/4.0.4 leaks or FF18? There hasnt been a "New OTA" in a month. If your not on FF18 and you want FF18 just odin it.
Fh13 update possibly or just sending out ff18 again.? Hmmmm
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
it's FF18 update and im on el29. I read more about it and mentioned that adobe flash will not work on ICS build and seen battery drainage from users who updated their phones. I guess I'll wait till the patches roll out if needed. Also can't flash with clockwork recovery installed. It has to be stock recovery.

LOL Flash works fine on ICS, are you sure you were not reading about Jelly Bean? Which still works in just no new installs allowed.
Besides as of today Adobe is supposed to have pulled Flash for ALL phones on all android versions that dont already have it installed
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/psa-adobe-halts-new-installs-of-flash-on-android-as-of-tomorrow/
You can flash FF18 OTA, in clockworkmod, or flash the tar in odin that we had 3 weeks prior to the OTA. I flashed a tar/one click earlier for testing and someone else flashed a zip for it in clockwork mod using a safe recovery.
Taking the OTA means you loose root anyways, not sure why people think they want the OTA. With no root exploit youd have to flash an prerooted one in odin.
I tried to flash it with the original update and looked like it was going to update but after the animation showing as a box with a arrow unpacking the update it threw me into the Android with the exclamation screen. Had to battery pull and safe to say that my phone is safe and not bricked.

Well once again its going to rape you of root and the only way to get root is the same way to get rooted FF18 from where you are. Mind you the update to FF18 is not without its issues. Swype for example you have to delete its data for it to work again. Best bet is to backup your stuff and wipe it.

The previous answers cover it. I went back to stock on my S 3 for the last official ICS update, but was really a WOT. Don't have to ODIN back to stock unless you want to run on stock.
You would probably see an Odin update (which will install the firmware and and Modem when a simple ROM flash would not) pretty soon after it is OTA'd, and you could use this and not have to have the hassle of going back to stock to get it. If it is not a complete ROM, you will have to be sure you are already updated to the firmware that the OTA would be updating.

My friend is currently running cm10 on her phone and has asked me to make it stock again. She wants root gone completely as well as cwm. What would be the easiest way to unroot this device. If anyone has a thread that can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I knew how to do it when it was gb but i haven't messed with this device since then and she is on jb now and I am not sure what I need to do or where the gs2 is actually at with stock kernels. SO much going on i cant keep up anymore haha.
Just Odin back to a stock rom. There is a sticky thread with everything you need in development.

Idk if i did something wrong? idk pls help thanks so much. I personally don't think its a rom...im leaning more towards my phone...its kinda rare that all roms i try are the same.

Make sure that you have a ICS modem, unfortunately on AOSP, the volume is low, and the AOSP keyboard does have gesture typing, but it doesn't come with the swipe keyboard

And if you bounce back between AOSP, CM, and Tw, make sure you change modems according to the dev's instructions. Data won't work on jb roms with ics modems, same as it won't work on aosp and cm with a jb modem.

Yea, the JB update has a jb modem (GB27), ICS modems (FI27, FL24....etc,etc,) don't worry, if you go to rwilco12's android repository, they have all the modems, and there categorised by type, ( GB,ICS and JB)

I think I mentioned this to you before. You can't use Mobile Odin to flash modems. It won't work. Are you on a stock jelly bean rom? Stock ics rom? If you are on fl24 rom, use fl24 modem. If you are on gb28 rom, you have to use jb modem. If your usb doesn't work, flash a custom recovery with mobile Odin, boot into recovery, and flash modems that way. Just ensure you have a stock kernel(or custom) of the same build you currently have on your phone in zip format saved to your phone before flashing custom recovery.
