Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.3.7 Downgrade Safe? - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hey Guys,
I am wondering is it possible to downgrade my SGA CM7 [2.3.7] to the 2.3.4 ROM just by CWM Recovery Restoring? I don't know any other way to do it if it's possible, I only want to know out of curiosity I am a Big N00B -.-
P.S. I would post this in development but this is my first Post :L
Thanks, Shane!

Why don't you try to flash via odin?

I've used ODIN to downgrade/Flash my 2.3.7 CM7 ROM to the stock 2.3.4 Rom.
I'm not sure with the CWM Recovery Restoring method as It might produce some conflicts.

U cant restore a stock rom on cm7 using cwm restore. Basically stock roms r in rfs format & cm7 converts it to ext format. So in order to convert d system back to stock rfs, u need to flash a full package rom using odin. After u flash stock firmware, u can restore ur backup using cwm. U can download d full package firmware from samfirmware.com

Phone starts but freezes on boot animation

I had GlsmtRom v2.1 and flashed S5830XWKS9 firmware form sammobile. Now my Galaxy Ace does not start any further that to boot animation over and over again. What may cause the problem?
Is XWKS9 a one package rom? If it is, den u should flash a multi package rom.

Yes it is a one package rom. Maybe I should flash it with S5830XXKPO
The same happens with S5830XXKPO firmware. Phone does not start and freezes on boot animation.
GlsmtRom converted ur system from rfs to ext. So in order to revert back to rfs system, u need to flash a multi or full package like kph(i said kph bcoz i dont kno any other full package rom. Im on kph for a long time).

After I flashed KPO situation was the same so I entered original samsung's recovery and did full wipe and cache wipe.It helped and system started ok.Now will try the same with the newest firmware again.Let you know later.

Help regarding CM7 to Stock

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I tried CM7 and it worked, but I want to go back to Stock firmware, I get stuck at Galaxy Ace logo. I'm ready to flash using ODIN.
But how will I find the correct firmware file? samfirmware is down for maintenance and hence is helpless. I'm from India. Please give me suitable new or old firmware link so that I can flash and then update to new ones through kies if possible
Hoping to get some help, thank you.
Try sammobile.com
If ur coming from cm7 rom then u should flash a full package rom to avoid bootloops.

By full package, he means the zip that has 4 different files. Not just one big one
Thank you both of you. I had single package of Stock 2.3.4 and yes I did have a boot loop.
After Odin said passed. I removed mobile and turned into recovery mode and clean wiped everything and when I restarted everything was working fine.
Thanks to XDA

[Q] ClockWorkMod Recovery help needed

When I first wanted to flash the cm7.1 rom to my phone I downloaded ROMmanager. When I tried to flash the CWM Recovery to my phone, SGA did not show up on the list of recognized devices.
I found a workaround on the forum somewhere which had a custom CWM version which I flashed onto my phone directly without ROMmanager.
Now I checked ROMmanager again and SGA was recognized and I flashed the official CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9 to my ace.
Does this now mean that the custom version is deleted and the new official CWM is the current recovery? I want to add mods to my rom using CWM so I need to know if this is safe.
Thanks in advance
U MUST DELETE ROM MANAGER NOW!!!!!!!!! IT has killled a lot of galaxy aces dont use it !!!

How to go back to stock ROM after ICSunday Final?

I'm a beginner so please bear with me.
I have installed a custom ROM "ICSunday Final" It crashes a lot and I want to go back to stock ROM. I have the latest firmware for my region, OPS, and ODIN, but I don't know what to do and how to go back to the stock ROM. Also, I have "ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 " installed.
Is there a step by step guide on how to go back to stock ROM?
Thanks in advance!

Make sure to download a full package rom though because cm7 uses ext4 format and stock uses rfs format file system.So,be sure to flash a full package file

If your device is rooted, then you can download JB rom and flash it without going through ICS update

It's an international version and I should install Odin select the rom in PDA and put my phone in download mode and click start in Odin right ?
Got ya I'll look around but I've never had to use Odin to flash anything besides to do the rooting process u would just need to get into ur recovery mode ether using clockwork mod or teamwin pro an that's how u would flash a ROM to the s2

Lol you don't need to be rooted inorder to flash a stock ROM
1. Yes you can flash a JB firmware directly
Go to here and find your fitting firmware. You can check by going to setting>about phone
Do you know how to flash this stock rom with Odin?
*edit - you will be unrooted when you flash stock JB rom so you will have to root it again using any JB-rooting method

Thank you all for the help:
