Here you go(again from Docholiday77 on xda:

Download Odin 3.07 from my signature
Download and extract Stock System + Root - Download d2ltetmo from SourceForge.net
Download Stock Recovery - Download d2ltetmo from SourceForge.net
Download Stock Kernel - Download d2ltetmo from SourceForge.net
Open Odin
Reboot Phone into Download Mode. (Power + Home + Volume Down)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM# port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Stock System you downloaded
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This can take a few minutes, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache! (It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Follow these same steps again for the Stock Kernel and Stock Recovery you downloaded.
DONE!!!
