Kies is like iTunes for iPhone.
You can backup files, apps, data, media, photos, contacts etc.
You can also install updates on your phone with kies.

If you update your phone with kies then your phone will only be updated. It will not revert your phone back to factory conditions.
If you are rooted and modded your phone then official Samsung updates will most probably not work in kies so people use more general software "Odin" to flash things on their phone. Kies does not let you flash un-official roms, kernel or recoveries on your phone. Or in general terms, kies does not let you flash anything on your phone that do not came from Samsung.
And that's where Odin helps. Odin let you flash anything you want on your phone, official Samsung stuff as well as un-official stuff. That's why you need to be very careful about how you use Odin because if you do not follow procedure correctly then you might brick your phone.

Yes thats a nice explanation of the diference so does this mean that The funktion in kies called UPDATE AND INITIALIZE does everything the same as odin only for official firmware

Yes,but not everything....with Odin can also downgrade, choose a stock rom from another country, leaked rom etc....

Allright but just for reverting 100% to your official rom kies is perfect right?

If you flash via ODIN it will preserve your settings/apps.

You will have to wipe anyway. Currently there's no way to go from stock ICS to the leaked stock JBs. I recommend you stay on lfb, it's a solid firmware. JB still has some compatibility and performance issues.
If you want to try it out anyway, root your phone with cf-root. Backup your current rom, format away and then flash the LI2 odin leak. In any case you can go back to your stock config.
Can I backup my rom + Apps and everything at once? With what tool? I have rom manager premium.

Seriously what do they do with Gtab2 firmwares ? no update for a recent device .....
They said they will update until 4.2.2... we will see.I feel my tab a bit slow especially when typing on virtual keyboard thats why im waiting f or an update.
Maybe a factory reset could help but i have so many things on it ...im lazy to reinstall all!

If your Gtab is rooted ,you can use "titanium backup",to make a backup of your apps before a factory reset: P

Sorry if this is a noobish question, but I currently have Cyanogen Mod installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (p3110) and I want to go back to a stock rom, would this do the trick? I'm sure it will as it contains all the right languages but I just wanted to check first.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: This can be ignored as tried to download this but it's no longer available, the link is dead

Did you:
1. Turn on USB Debugging?
2. Installed Samsung Drivers for Mobile Phones?
3. Using correct USB cable?
4. Tried using correct version of Odin (1.84 & 1.85)?
