Can Android 3.2 be downgraded back to 3.1?
Yes, just installed a rom through clockworkmod, have alook at the top link in the development section.
Yup. Got a new recovery (under the DEV forum theres a tutorial to get root - half of it explains how to get recovery).
Install a 3.1 version.
However, unless you take a recommended custom rom, I wouldn't recommend downgrading.

if you are rooted and had taken nand backup before upgrade, you can nand backup the current ROM and restore the 3.1.
for sure , if u have cmw
Or with ODIN and Stock ROM from SamFirmware

Hello. I am currently on Alpha HC 6.0 and would like to update to 7.1 that just came out. Do I need to back up 6.0 using CWM and then install update.zip to go to 7.1? Or do I have to nvflash back to original and then do wipe/cache/dalvik and then install 7.1?
I am not sure if going from 6.0 to 7.1 requires to wipe/cache/dalvik everytime or just run the new update.zip and reboot w/o doing wipes/dalvik?
Just want to be sure before doing the update. Thanks in advance.

Ask in the thred for the rom you are using. Better yet, read that thread, your answer is probably already there.

Hello, I also have same quesetion. I use stock ROM 4349 to upgrade to backflash 6.0. It looks easy just copy command into recover folder and update in root. Then, go to recover mode and Gtablet do the updates automatically without any problem.
When I try to use same method for alpha 7.1, it brick the gtablet. I need to use NVflash to do it again. Do anyone know how to upgrade it correctly. BTW, when I install CWMOD form 4349 stock ROM, it fail and I will hang on the recovery mode. Anyone can help?

What do you really mean? from where are you accessing and what?
Why you want extract...? for removing any specific app?
If you have a CWM back up of earlier ROM, you can use Titanium Backup Pro for individual apps installation for installing from your earlier ROM....
I just wanted to do it in case I would like to back up to original state before rooting and flashing CM7.

Sorry to say you cant backup your current ROM till you root your phone...
Use checkfus to download original firmware .

If you use CWM you do not back up original as it has cwm and root kernel ,

Hi guys! I installed one theme last night and now i have big problems with my phone. if i wipe all device and install the GalaxyMOD again has no result, the ''Theme Galaxy S3'' is still in my phone.
I want to know how can i restore my phone to stock rom without using odin ? I have problems with usb, doesn't connect to the pc and i can't use odin.
Thanks!
Two ways. Either with Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) or somewhere in General there's a thread with CWM flashable stock roms (don't have a link so you'll have to search for it).
i'm looking for the thread with CWM flashable stock roms, but i can't find it :highfive:
Can you give me i link ?
I'm searching for it... right now... but...
From my previous post "...don't have a link so you'll have to search for it".

You could use a nandroid backup file if someone has.
Here is stock ICS rom which is CWM flashable (released by wanam, not the wanamlite version but stock (odex/deodex) rom
http://wanamlite.com/2012/08/01/romcwmxwlptics4-0-4-odexed-fully-deodexed-stock-rom/
1) restore from a back up (if you made one in the beginning)
or
2) flash stock firmware via recovery mode
i didn't do a backup...
Only CWM Stock.

Hello.
I have had a GS3 for a few months now and a few weeks ago my friend showed me how to install the polish jellybean update for my phone (I don't have a polish gs3 but he said it was safe to do ) and it was pretty easy.
I have decided to use a custom rom now. I have already rooted my phone but before I install a custom rom I was wondering how easy it is to go back to the polish version that I have downloaded if I don't like it.
Thanks and hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this in.

Thank you. If I want to try out different custom roms do I have to go back to official firmware first or can I just install a custom rom over another custom rom?
Hi,
You can flash a custom rom without going back to the "original version" (stock rom that came installed in your GS3) - Just keep in mind that you must do a full wipe in your device (data/cache and dalvik).
You just need to flash the CWM via odin and then flash the custom rom via CWM.
You just need to follow this instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
And than follow the instructions of your favorite custom rom to install it.
Cheers

OK, but he doesn't need to go back to the stock rom before flash another custom rom. To try another custom roms he only needs to do the wipes and follow the instructions of the custom rom to install it.

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.
