Other than the fact that your phone will explode, everything will work out
Seriously though, there's no reason to get anxious. Everything will be okay.

Hi there,
I recently used the "eugene" froyo update on my new unlocked samsung vibrant from t-mobile. it still lags sometimes and i was kinda hoping to find a way to make it faster.
I don't know if the eugene froyo update rooted my phone or not. under firmware version it says 2.2 and build number says FROYO.UVJK2. I don't know what the build number means either.
I wanted to downgrade from this 2.2 version back to 2.1 cuz i wanted to wait for the original release of 2.2, but i couldnt find a way to downgrade. I want to make the phone faster if possible, that is why i am posting this.
If anyone could help or give me a solution, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
use Odin and flash original 2.1 firmware.
all instructions are in the vibrant bible.
Hi,
I got Bell Atrix and i was not happy with it so i flashed french SBF and it was a delight but some times i have problems (no major problem) then i flashed T.Mobile SBF and it is just Amazing.
Now my question is should i go back to stock Bell and upgrade it to 2.2.2 or stick to T.Mobile SBF, i am asking this question in terms of Bell new update vs T.Mobile SBF and feature GB Update and Bootloader unlocking.
So Can any one Help me Out ?
if everything is fine, then stick with what you have, I had the same combo but my devices has hardware issues so I went back to bell stock and did the update should I need to bring it in. no advantage in terms of a GB update etc since we don't know which company will release GB first or when.
Unless the Bell SBF is found, you can't go back. You can have a reasonable facsimile, but it will never be the exact same as when you took it out of the box.
Thanks ppl.

I can go back to official Bell, there is method in forum if u search ull find it.
what did you search?
I've got a galaxy s2 from 02 and it is branded and running o2's flavour of software.
I've attached 2 screenshots to show the version I have.
Is it worth it for me to debrand, what would I realistically gain? I've looked through the forums and it seems there is newer generic firmware available. But there also seems to be mixed opinion as to weather it's worth upgrading. From what I can see I have 2.3.3 KF3 if that helps
It also appears that by flashing generic stock firmware via odin I will still be able to use kies so any future releases will download through kies using the firmware update feature?
Answers as always appreciated.
IF you download, from here, the latest stock Samsung ROM, then you will be able to fool KIES into thinking that your phone is no longer an O2 SGSII but a unbranded one. Thus you will be able to get the next available update of the official stock ROM when it is released via KIES.
The most important feature is an improvement in battery life.
If you stick with the branded ROM, then you have to wait a few months for the stock update to be customised by the operator and released.
This is the most important: if you flash an unbranded ROM, then you have invalidated your phone's warranty. You can simply reflash the O2 branded ROM, again available on here, this will put you phone back in warranty.
ok I see is there a link to the post that has the most recent fw? I will ofc check the dev forum stickies Many thanks for the swift reply and advice.
Without a doubt, so many good custom roms available and more newer stock firmwares. You can undo everything so no need to worry about putting it back to stock o2
cheers
Yeah I think I'll flash to generic stock rom then take in the updates from sammy, I'm blown away with this phone as it is running stock roms.
Will wait for ICS to be available on a un-official rom before I debate custom roms,
As soon as I got my sgs2 from O2, I debranded it straight away
Wow what a difference my phone is marginally faster one booted on 2.3.4 bootup is way quicker internet also seems faster.
Unlike X10i flashing new fw didn't basically factory reset the phone everything was as i left it bar the fw.
Had slight issue where it seemed to hang at the last big galaxy s screen for a minute or 2 when first booted but all phones seem to do this when flashed.
One question - my market hasn't changed os there a new one and should it automatically update?

Don't do this before someone else says it's okay, because I'm not totally sure, but you should be able to SBF flash your device back to original everything.
Thank you. In fact I don't want to use any more other SBF file, but just get my stock directly from Motorola Software Update!!
I hope I'm not too late.
DO NOT DOWNGRADE!!
You'll get yourself a hard brick. Seriously, it's stickied all over the forum.
You cannot use SBF, you cannot use Motorola Software Updater.
I repeat, YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE FROM 4.5.91 YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Do as you please, but you have been warned.
So no way to get back? So bad...
Can I at least flash back with Recovery to a retail Froyo 2.2?
Am I no more allowed to official stock, or in future I'll be able to get get Motorola's official update?

By stock I thought you meant the newest firmware stock! my bad. Yes, DO NOT SBF DOWNGRADE. You WILL brick.
Use fruitcake if you want froyo but I have no clue if theres a fruitcake france release. You may be SOL here.

read post 2 by shaydar.. maybe this could help, just try download the newer sbf (2.3.4) then desbf it..
do not use froyo, that the best method i know for now
Thank you everybody for your cautions!!!
I didn't get back to stock 2.2. I installed this pretty CM7 and I'm quiet satisfied.
But I want to know: with my atrix unlocked with RDSLite + CM7 installed, am I allowed one day to get official 2.3 or Ice Cream with Motorola Updater Software when Motorola will make it happens!??
Been looking for an answer online and can't seem to find one, my girlfriend bought a used bell gs2 and when i plug it in kies it tells me it has the latest software yet it seems that 2.3.3 as been out for a long time and should have been updated by now no?
Thanks
Kris

If you check this thread here UGKG2 is the only firmware bell has put out, so if thats the one you have, then yes, thats the only firmware there is, blame bell for being slow.
If you want to flash a new upto date rom, follow this guide, it also has download links, KK5 is generally a good 2.3.6 firmware at the moment, dont go for the ICS roms, there buggy.
It also should be non wipe aka you shouldnt lose anything as its stock firmware to stock firmware, but no promises and you would be advised to backup stuff first.
