use RSD and flash full SBF file. dont use after market img files if you dont know how
And heres a good read.
You can skip down to the SBF section but I would read all. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600

I've read many threads on how to change roms on the Streak.
I've actually managed to install several versions of Stephens ROMs.
I am however still confused on how to get back to a stock Froyo ROM. Why is it a two step process?
What is the relationship between fastboot and streakmod? I think this is the key. Once I understand this, then I will understand why I can't simply use streakmod to get back to stock.
Also, when you install a ROM shouldn't it completely erase everthing there and replace it? I don't understand why I get different results when I apply the same ROM depending on what ROM was applied before. This suggest that there is a preferred sequence when it comes to applying Stephen's latest ROMS.
Last question, how come doing a factory reset doesn't put me back in the state the device came in?

You need a stock recovery to install an update.pkg file (stock roms) and streakdroid recovery (or clockwork, but I suggest streakdroid) to install an update.zip. So you have to flash the stock recovery then install the stock ROM.

The reset restores that last installed ROM. This prevents updates being wiped out by a reset. It's intended to wipe the slate clean for the currently installed ROM.
Okay thanks. starting to make more sense.
I was able to download streak_318_12821_00.pkg file from Dell. I believe this is the Froyo 2.2 stock file from Dell for US versions.
so now i can use fastboot.exe to install this pkg file?

You don't use fastboot.exe to install ROMs.
If you are on a streakdroid rom you use fastboot to flash a stock recovery. This one should work.
You then rename the rom file to update.pkg, put it in the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery. Select option2 and the stock rom should install. You will have to set up your phone after this (apps, accounts, etc.) so use your favorite backup solution first.
Okay maybe it's beginning to dawn on me.
So customs ROMS can only be installed via a custom ROM loader like streakmod. So once you update yourself to use streakmod, you can no longer install .pkg files which are the stock ROMS.
So now I have to flash the stock ROM installer back to the device to install the stock ROM which is a pkg file. Once it's installed, it replaces streakmod.
So once I'm back at the stock ROM installer and install the pkg file, I will have to reinstall streakmod to update to a Stephen ROM.
Do I have this correct?
Correct

Thanks a million. You helped me understand what a thousand posts across various websites and forums could not.
Not in retrospect it seems absurdly simple.
I've just managed to go back to stock and back to 1.81.
It finally all makes sense now.

Hi. chentan, I think I have the same problem. I am trying to get back to my older version firmware. What I did was hold volume up, power button and home button, go to the recovery mode, click the wipe cache, wipe data, recovery system and then factory rest. But when after the restart, it's still the new version, did not go back to the older version. What I should do now? Thanks

Dude!!!!..factory reset only removes user apps,data and settings i.e. extraneous data..So since when you have updated your firmware you have overwritten your base ROM.So when you are factory resetting you wont get back your previous ROM.So if you need your previous ROM go to intratech's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and download it and flash it through Odin.

um.. I realized the problem now. all my data has gone. I am quite a newb for smartphone. I went to the intratech's thread before, and flashed to 2.3.5 firmware through Odin. But KIES doesn't support update after I flashed to 2.3.5, besides the firmware I flashed is not stable, that's why I want to recovery to original firmware. I downloaded the official Australia Vodafone firmware, but there are 8 files, and I don't know how to flash back with these files. Can you please help me? I've taken a screenshot of these files. Thanks in advance.
can someone please provide me with the indian version of 2.3.3 gb firmware..!!!i really need it to fix my efs..!my phone is all screwed up..!

Hi all, thanks for viewing this thread
- I flashed my friend's Bell SGS2 i9100M to CM9 a while back, but now he wants to go back to stock and needs to make use of his warranty because of the battery charging problem even when it's is not plugged in
- I need to flash his phone back to Bell stock firmware UGKG2, but I do not have the necessary firmware (PDA) .tar file to flash back to stock via Odin. I've checked Intratech's thread but multiupload is down so I cannot download the .tar files
- However, I have the stock ROM in .zip file, the kernel, modem and CSC in .tar file
- Unfortunately, I did not make the nandroid backup before flashing CM9 on his phone
- I currently do not have his phone with me, but he will be coming over in a few hours
So my questions are:
1) Is it okay to just flash the stock ROM .zip file via recovery from CM9? (After the standard procedures of wiping system, data, cache, etc.)
2) Will the CM9 kernel recovery flash the stock ROM .zip file? I think it might give some e: (some sdcard) error, I'm guessing... If so, will flashing a custom Gingerbread kernel then flashing the stock ROM .zip file via CWM work?
3) If 1 & 2 don't work, does this mean I absolutely have to flash back to stock via Odin?
I've also got an usb jig prepared
Thanks in advance

Hey,
like u said, the .zip includes .tar files.
.tar files always must flashed via odin!
Only way to to it via phone is using odin on phone, but I'm not up to date how is the status and if it's really working.
So to be sure:
1) make a full wipe (like u said above with formatting system, cache etc.)
2) Put files in Odin and flash
3) Flash cf-root or kernel to get CWM back (if u want)

the .zip file does not have the .tar files, it is CWM flashable; it has the META-INF folder, system folder, zimage, etc.

Oh ok. Didn't read carefully, sorry.

I just want to make sure this is not a problem to downgrade from 4.1.2 ICS to 2.3.7...is it true?
This downgrade wont break anything
Well, you can downgrade from CM09/10 to CM07 or even stock but make sure you downgrade to 4.5.91 / 2.3.x as when motorola updated you to 4.5.91 they changed the boot-loader and if you try to go below that you would brick your phone for sure.
if you need a stock firmware its here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944
else browse xda forum and there are many good GB based Roms, but do check whats working section to be sure of what is missing there.

Why would it be a problem?
Are you confusing standard ROM flashing via recovery with flashing via RSD?
i m confusing about downgrade not to use cwm or rsd... downgrade would be make my phone brick( that s why i want to know can i downgrade my phone 4.0.x to orginal factory rom 2.3.5...
and how?

Use CWM or another recovery to flash ROMs. I have switched between Stock GB, CM7 and CM10 multiple times, it doesn't brick the phone. If you installed ICSROM or AtrICS or one of the other leaked ROMs, restoring is best way (provided you did a backup like instructions say).
Instructions (restore):
1) boot into recovery
2) backup/restore
3) restore from external/internal
4) choose last backup, restore and reboot
Instructions:
1) boot into recovery
2) clear data/factory reset
3) wipe dalvik under "advanced"
4) format /system under "mount"
5) choose and flash ROM and gapps

Hi, my P7500 3G is currently on a custom ROM running 4.4.2, and I would like to unroot it and downgrade back to 3.2 or 4.0.4 stock as I am planning to sell it off. But if I recall correctly, repartitioning was required when the jump to 4.2 was made. So how will this affect me if I am trying to downgrade it?
Thank in advance!
Just download the correct tar.md5 files from Sammobile and flash it using Odin then access stock recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot. You should be good to go, that's the way I downgrade my tab and I don't see any abnormalities.

As long as the stock rom and stock recovery files are correct, there should not be any issues? I will try to flash using ODIN for rom, previously tried to flash using cwm, but keep getting an error..
Yes as long as the files for the device are correct, go on and continue and CWM doesn't support tar.md5 and you may want to look at the deepsleep for the p7500 for a better battery life. Here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39906672

Just that all your files will be in a "0" folder because of the sdcard changes in 4.2. You would have to manually move them out of the 0 folder. But since you're planning to sell it, you can just wipe your internal memory in recovery.

Okay, just wanna let you guys know that I have successfully flash back to stock using ODIN. The first time I did it, the device was stuck at the Samsung logo. I waited until about 45 minutes and decided to force restart and enter recovery to wipe data and cache. After which, the device was able to boot successfully into Android.
Thank you for all your help!
