Just go to SAMFIRMWARE, register there and then download your region FROYO package. Then flash it with ODIN and you done!

Read in the "Samsung galaxy ace s5830" thread in this section that moving down will cause the phone to not boot even though Odin flashes is successfully.

Hey man, I just FLASHED back to FROYO(2.2.1) from Gingearbread(2.3.4[...XXKPH])!
And all working fine to me.
Just follow the instructions in here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12874680&postcount=1
I think its good enough proof to you(now I must flash back to 2.3.4 )!
If I helped dont forget to push the T...!
ENJOY!
CHEERS!
That was helpful, thanks!

Basically their are two types of roms, one is single package and other is multi package. if your downgrading from one version to another ie: froyo to GB then u need to have a Multi Package rom to flash back as this rom wil have the seperate phone boot and modem files.
if your just upgrading to the next upgrade of the samefirmware then u just use the single package rom and flash it wit odin
How do I know if my rom and the rom I want to flash is single or a multipackage rom?
Sorry to be so ignorant about this, when I got my old phone the x10 mini pro a custom recovery was done so everything was simpler.

Just download it and you see, dose there is several files inside .rar(boot,csc, modem and so on) or you have one .tar file inside!
CHEERS!
Okay, so if I flash a multi-package rom to a single .tar-containing package what should I do/what will happen?
Damn I guess this requires a separate tutorial thread for users who're unfamiliar with Samsung firmwares.

Just wondering..
What ROMs are currently being developed here on XDA (both the original android & android ROMs sections) are flashable through ODIN? and is there a benefit to flashing through CWM?
Thanks heaps

flashing through odin you can flash stock roms from different regions and also litening pro...check the android development section and you will find the rom thread there. also if you are going to root do your homework first...
benefit of flashing through CWM is it makes life alot easier...ie flashing through your computer each time you want to put a new rom on your phone...all your answers are in the original development thread
Yeh..I've been using Lite'ning Rom (currently on v6.1) on my SGSII, but I wanna jump on android 2.3.5.
Any recommendations on ROMs that can be flashed via ODIN..and provides good battery life?
Stock 2.3.5 from Intratechs thread .
jje
Do stock like JJe suggested and then just enjoy the beauty of it...give yourself a week trying it out and in between read through the original dev forums about roms and how everything works...each rom thread has guides on installations and how they work...if you got more questions feel free to ask me

Hi guys.
I'm new here so please bear with me if i am in the wrong section.
I've flashed my sgs2 with litening 6.1 rom, and i am really really really glad that i got the rom, BUT... since i am as before mentioned a big ass noob, and since it was a pre rooted rom, so i didn't need to root my stock rom before flashing the litening 6.1 rom, but i made a mistake ... i didn't backup my stock rom ...
so here is the dilema. i want to unroot my galaxy s2 since there is an official 2.3.5 rom for sgs2, and i would really like to get my hands on it since the battery consumption is a huge issue on other roms.
anybody who got 5 minute of spare time to explain which rom (maybe post a link directly for the rom) to install and how to do it ... my friend was all about "flash recovery, wipe bla bla bla" ... that is foreign language to me ...
I am from denmark so i would appreciate if anyone could show me the link to the standard stock rom for scandinavian region. please once again, just writing "flash in recovery mode ... etc" wont help me much ... just a little more detailed description would be appreciated.
in advance thank you for your replies
You can just download the stock rom you want , get your phone to download mode and use odin to flash it. Put the .tar file on the pda section in odin.do not tick repartition!
This will put everthing in stock again including unroot.
Hope this help

About wipe. If you get boot loop then do wipe.
You just need to download one file.no need the separate kernel.

your help is highly appreciated mate
noob asking Q again ... i've downloaded this firmware
GT-I9100_HTD_I9100XWKF4_I9100NEKF2_I9100HTDKF2.exe - 263 MB, BUT ... how the heck do i flash an .exe file on my device?
and i've downloaded this kernel too: I9100XWKF4_Kernel.exe
so, i extracted the first 263 MB file, from exe, and than it turns into .rar file ... when i extract the rar file i get a lot of small files, more than i need to. so how can i install this FW on my sgs2 ? i don't think that it's possible to do through odin ...?? should i put the .rar file on the root of my SD card and than flash it with CWM ??? and should i also flash the kernel or does this first file contain kernel already?

thx mate ... i've been reading that thread over and over again. but just don't know if the .rar file is to be flashed just like that or what? and does it contain kernel already or should i also flash the kernel... big concern as i don't want to lose/wipe my data or brick my phone ... i'm kindda learning how to play around with these rom's, but i will get it eventually some day unless i don't f*** up my phone and give up LOL
anyway, thx a lot for ur help
Yes its all in one file(zip). its as easy as it shows you.
So i flashed that zip file and got bootloop afterwards :-( so i had to wipe my data and than flash the rom again :-( pain in the ass to lose my pwrfect set up.. Now i gotta start from scratch again :-(

Ok, i know this is an old tread, but just to not create a new one, let's use it and ask similar things about backing to stock firmware.
I am about to sell my phone and want to know how to clean internal SD card and let no trace of my files, folders and apps.
How to do that?
Thanks
Is it possible to download back the old stock rom through ODIN and reinstall it on my ace? Or can I install it with CMW too from the SD card? Or is there some deleting and complexity involved in this backwards process?
Sure, you can instal any stock rom on your phone. Just have to have the firmware files. I just flashed back stock 2.3.4 after 7.1 CM BehradGH. And istaled BehradGH again I don't think u could instal any stock rom via CWM. Specialy the lower version u have.

Lmao nah bro it failed. I tried flashing it through ODIN and installing the stock 2.3.5 again and the phone was stuck in an endless boot. I got scared as hell and reflashed back to CM 7.1. I have no idea what happened though but everything is working fine. I guess I'll be sticking to CM7.
The reason I wanted to go back was because Heywire (txting app) was the only thing that stopped working after I flashed. I depend a lot on texting and I was thinking it'd go back if I went back to stock. I guess I'll have to try and find another alternative :/
Phone feels like a super phone though. LONG LIVE CM7!
Well, I'm not a developer or advenced user so I can't tell u the reason why you phone stuck in on boot. Today i was broke my CM7.1 Behrad and i could only go to download mode so i flash official 2.3.4 KPH and it's worked. Next i instaled CWM and BehradGH' rom again. Before useing BehradGH's rom i had Grif's KANG rom and after that i flash stock 2.3.4 to instal another CM7.1. It wasn't first time so I'm sure of that what i write here
Haha. I'm guessing we were both pretty lucky then. The first thing I did was to make sure I could boot into recovery. Then I reflashed CM7 from there. I'm still curious about the boot loop thing... I hope someone answers.
You need to flash a full package to not have a bootloop.

You need to download something called a 5 file package, extract and then in Odin you deselect 'one package'. Generally for stock ROMs you select
OPS - cooper.ops
BOOT - APBOOT.......tar.md5
PHONE - MODEM......tar.md5
PDA - CODE......tar.md5
CSC - CSC.......tar.md5

Oooohh that. I remember doing that once before when I was flashing stock roms on my ace. Can you provide a link to these 5 file downloads? Thanks *clicks*
It's not 5 downloads.
Sammobile.com, find the KPH file. I know it's confirmed to be a full package.
It seems samfirmware.com is not updated with latest firmwares. So u can try sammobile.com which is updated.

dunno about now, but a long time back when i was flashing stock KPN, samfirmware.com had a one file KPN, so i flashed a 5 file KPE and then the KPN...
I think KPN is supposed to be better than KPH which was a leaked ROM.

Hey!
I think you was flashed the ONE package file, but jeah, you need MULTI package file for ODIN, flash from CM to STOCK ROM.
Just read the FLASHING TUT. before flashing!
CHEERS!
To back to stock rom i always use Odin Didn't said i do this by recovery. And always use multi-file pack. Never "one package" - some1 said it is unstable... So go to Download Mode and flash ur Ace by useing Odin and multi-file rom (OPS, PDA, BOOT, PHONE, CSC)

Anyway I kinda knew about the superone click but umm if I root with that then I can go right ahead and install CWM and Custom Roms?
Install CWM4 or 5 for Galaxy Ace, you shouldn't need Root for this. You can find them on this Forum if you look. This will replace your stock recovery. Once this is done you place your ROM on the SD card, reboot into recovery and hit install from Zip then choose your new ROM. Simple as that.
If you need any more help let me know

And I don't need to upgrade the FW to Gingerbread or anything because I've been reading a lot about this and I'm kinda confused?

Also don't I need to make a backup or anything? xD because I don't want to brick my Ace its the only phone I have right now.
U don't need root to install cwm 5 ..well I think u should upgrade your firmware to 2.3.xx because most of the roms for SGA are based on gingerbread .ie they need gingerbread basebands ...if u flash them on your FROYO phone u will BRICK your phone !!!!!

Sure you could make a back-up, it is always good to have just in case. You can't restore a stock ROM through recovery, you'll just get a boot loop, but there are other methods to restore your stock back-up. Froyo to Gingerbread is no problem, it is Gingerbread to Froyo that it becomes more complicated.
EDIT: But some ROM's do require you to be on 2.3.x so you could do an official update to Gingerbread to "ensure" everything goes smoothly.

Sorry for all these questions
Well, they don't say. Why not be safe and flash a stock 2.3.x ROM with ODIN. Better to be safe then sorry right?! Are you familiar with ODIN?
Yes I have used ODIN in the past before but only with the One Package option.

And if I where to flash that stock firmware which one should I use European?
Yup, that is what you'll be doing. I wrote a little tutorial on it a while ago, the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408974&highlight=2+3+6+update

When choosing the official GingerBread FW do I need to find the one for my Carrier because I think my phone is SIM-locked. My Carrier is Claro.
okay so I read through some of the threads and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!
Development section. You'll find the stickies that show how to flash stock packages with Odin. Go back to stock to fix your issue. You should then be able to load a new kernel and flash a custom rom.
Oh, and never let that cousin touch the phone again.

You will need to root first. If you did not flash the stock plus root package already, flash that, and then install a custom kernel which has ClockworkMod Recovery. Then you can flash any firmware.
There is a good guide linked in my signature.

I'm going to install Mobile Odin lite, I already found the flash kernel for the I-777. After installing both of these I should be good to flash the ROM of my choice by just putting the rom on the sd card right?

Flash a kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, then boot into recovery and flash the firmware. Mobile Odin can't handle the CWM flashable zip format.
There is a Siyah kernel for gingerbread that would give you CWM so you could then flash a custom rom. It would be in the development section. Just make sure you grab the version for gingerbread and not ics

I assume you mean nandroid backup from ClockworkMod Recovery? No. It's mainly a space issue, where you want to store them, because they take up quite a bit of space, especially if you have several.

The general answer you will get around here is try them all. You can see what I like by looking in my signature.
I like both Shostock3 and the collective's rom. I don't think there is a bad rom on here.
