Chances are that a lot of users out there with the Galaxy S II Skyrocket may have either soft bricked their devices or are unhappy with the results of tinkering around with root attempts. Luckily, XDA-developers forum member k0nane has released a package that would allow you to flash your bricked device back to a completely stock state. Of course if you’re doing fine and want to revert to a stock state this would still work for you.
k0nane has also put in another package for the Rogers Galaxy S II as well.
The package is .tar file, that you will need to flash via ODIN and once you do so, your Galaxy S II Skyrocket will be back to a completely stock state.
