I need to root the device and have failed with 2.2, i think i have to either go back to 2.1 or someone said to go to 2.1 and install custom 2.2 firmware. Can anyone tell me how to downgrade and where to download the custom firmwares?
Maybe the sticky at the top of this section where you posted? Also in my signature

You need to flash the .pit and .pda via odin. I don't have a link to the files at the moment but I'm sure googe you could google it

I mean .tar and not .pda. I got confused but in odin the .tar files goes in the pda slot. Srry

I currently have 2.2 Froyo installed on my Vibrant, and I want to get back to 2.1before I install Axura204. I tried installing Axura with OCLF and Rom Manager...but no luck, so I figure I might have better luck installing it if I went back to 2.1. Is it even possible to switch to Axura since I am currently using 2.2?
I've only been using an Android for about a week, so please dummy it down for me. If I have to flash something or use Odin, can you please give me step by step instructions?
Quick unrelated questions:
How do you disable One-Click Lag Fix (I tried using the disable-lagfix file, but I think it is still active)?
What is the difference between a kernel and a rom?
Click the icon in your drawer for OCLF and uninstall for there. Pm me for help with your flashing.
I would say just flash with odin and go from there. Do u known how to use it?

How EXACTLY do you flash back to 2.1? What files do I need to do it, and does it work with my existing firmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
To flash to a 2.1 rom, make sure the rom has a 2.1 kernal comes pre flashed. For example, any bionix 2.1 roms can be used.

Hi guys. Id like to flash the stock froyo update through odin. I currently only have the 2.1 on file. Where can I download a odin flashable stock 2.2?
Thanks

This link is a build done by Eugene373, is pre rooted and comes with modded 2e recovery. Works flawlessly, just use the same 512 pit file you have for jfd (2.1).

Im looking to go full stock, as I am selling the phone (it was a great run with the vibrant). Do I just go to 2.1 and force the OTA somehow? Please let me know.
Thank you very much!
Well officially you are suppose to use Kies mini to update...but its buggy as hell...hard bricked me
Yeah, don't use kies mini, its bad juju. If you just stright stock, jfd 2.1 is the way to go IMHO.
Edit - Kies mini IS the "official" way tmobile released our 2.2 upgrade, but as trailblazer11 said, it can brick your phone. There was never an OTA update sent out for us.

Hey guys i have an issue. First off i have an unrooted GS3 on T-Mobile. I downloaded this http://www.sammobile.com/2012/08/25...-1-1-jelly-bean-test-ota-update/#comment-6605 which is a 4.1.1 pre release or whatever. Its cool but some apps dont work properly and force close a lot so my question is how can i go back to ICS or am i stuck with this now?(i know i can root but im really not looking to do that as of now) Also if im stuck with this will i receive the OTA from T-Mobile when they release the official update? I would appreciate some feedback please!!
1. Wrong forum.
2. Flash stock ICS firmware through Odin.
3. No you won't get an OTA from that firmware

You will need to find a stock firmware for T-Mobile on samfirmware.com or wherever (probably in the T-Mobile forum too)
Put the file in the PDA section in Odin and put your phone in download mode and connect it to the PC and hit start.
Yes you will get the OTA if you are not rooted and don't have a custom recovery.
N.B. make sure it is the correct firmware for your version, the US version, if you flash international firmware you will brick your phone. Search for firmware for "t999" there are two firmwares available there. I just checked but I can't link the page.

Can anyone tell me the best/safest way to get back to a stock GB rom on the ACE?. On Jellyblast at the moment.

Download stock rom of your choice from sammobile and use Odin v3.07 to flash..
You can find some guides around here how to flash via Odin.
And, next time either use the Q/A section or the OFF-TOPIC Thread.
Cheers, I was using the wrong Odin!
