If you want stock ics..download your region specific firmware from sammobile.com..connect your phone to pc in download mode..open Odin..choose the downloaded firmware as pda and flash..for custom roms..follow the steps mentioned in the previous post..

that would help me too, how can I do it? you meant CWM???
Yes, but any recovery will do for factory-reset. (There are others than CWM)
ok let me see if I got the instructions correct
download the fw from sammobile, the stock one
flash through odin
if stuck on samsung screen, access to recovery (missing how)
wipe data
enjoy??
sorry for asking this too much but I'm still a noob with samsung devices

to boot into recovery, whatever recovery it is either stock or CWM.
turn off the phone ( if it does not turn off by on/off button, just pull the battery and leave it out for 5 seconds),
press and hold with this order: volume up+ home button+ on/off(power button) and keep pressing until the logo. release power button and keep pressing the other buttons.
wipe data + cache + dalvik cache. reboot

well we downgrade in order to go back to LG8 and install a new OTA, even though we are using OTA's if we have (i.e) LI5 we cannot update to LI9 unless we're on LG8 which is the base, also for warranty purposes hehehe

Hi, Does this work for Galaxy S2 -I9100 also, as I would need to downgrade to ICS 4.0.4 from Jelly bean XXLS6 (Leaked Rom).
hi
my wife is driving me crazy...she upgraded to jellybean 4.1 on her Samsung Galaxy 16GB and is now complaining about the lag time and that she misses the bigger keyboard. She wants to go back to the original ice cream sandwich that came with the phone.
How can I find out what version it is?
SGH-I747
SW-VER: UCLG1
I don't know if sammobile has the firmware...4.0? 4.04? Any help is appreciated--- and what steps to take to complete this....thanks in advance
and I'm in Chicago, USA and ATT is my carrier

Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?

Hi All,
I want to return the original version of the instrument (version 4.0.4) which I upgraded version (4.1.1) -
how do I do that?
Where can I find version 4.0.4 so that when they emerged Original Samsung's official update then the device is updated ?
Thanks

I'll very appreciate it if you could explain what you said
I am not sufficiently familiar with all Android device and the world.
1. CF-Root
2. install and use triangle away
3. Go into CWM recovery and wipe data/cache
4. Download ICS firmware for your region with checkfus
5. Flash the firmware with odin
6. Make sure you have the right CSC to receive future OTA updates.

Fellow S3 users,
I am hopeless because i try almost everything but 1 problem remains.
PROBLEM: Phone doesn't react after screen is of for 5 sec. (And when i reboot the samsung animation hangs just a little bit)
''Did some heavy benchmarks to see if is going to freeze but they run as they should no problem at all''
What i did try to solve:
- Wipe/Factory
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Wipe Batt Stats
- Mega Wipe (app)
- Format cache/system/preload/data/sdcard
- Flash different Roms Stock 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.1.2
- Flashed 4.0.4 and did a OTA to 4.1
- CM 10
- Darkys
- Omega
- Foxhound
- Revolution
And i did this over and over again.
Wiped everything for over 15 times
Flashed roms for over 15 times
ATM i am on the Dutch Stock 4.1 that i updated trough OTA
But there has to be something stuck on the system??? Or is it a hardware problem (buttons work fine don't hang)
If someone is able to give me the right instructions to solve this problem then i am prepaired to donate some money to buy some hamburgers or beers. :good:

When you bought your s3, did it have that problem or was it after you began flashing that it occurred.
You mentioned that your on Dutch stock now. Did you note were your original firmware was from, like typing *#1234#, would give you values for AP, CP and CSC.
I mean the values for *#1234# just before you did any flashing or update.
My point is maybe, originally the firmware was from a different region as compared to what is on it now even though it is stock. Bring it to the original firmware region. If you did that also, I guess I am stuck also. Hope someone can help you.
Like my s3, originally its firmware was from region Kenya. Updated official firmware but chose a new region.

Help! My Galaxy S2 isn't working anymore! I decided to replace stock recovery with Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.7. The process went well but on the reboot there was a yellow triangle and then it doesn't do anything. I'm able to go into the Clockworkmod recovery though. What do I do to go back into booting my phone normally? I was running the leaked version of jelly bean (4.1.2) on the international version of the Galaxy S2. Please help!!
Whenever I try to boot up normally the Galaxy S2 logo will pop up, followed by the sound of the phone booting up (Samsung sound) but no display. Seriously, what can I do to fix this as I am really worried. I've heard that my phone isn't bricked because I can access recovery but please, what do I have to do to make my phone accessible again?
Relax, and flash stock rom.

If you're referring to the version of jelly bean I got, yes. However, I want ICS and I am confused at the minute on how to get back to stock. In Clockworkmod recovery I did a backup to my internal SD card and then did a wipe of data and of my cache. Could you give me the perfect stock rom thing to get back to ICS, as if it was out of the box?

How bad a situation am I in? Is my phone bricked? When I flash a stock rom will I still have CWM or will it be gone?
Also, can you tell me, if you know, what I did wrong in the first place? This seemed like a simple procedure...
Wait, let me read the OP again.
And don't bump the thread, edit like I'm about to.
Here's a thougt, why not focus on get your device up and runing insted of trying to get ICS?
1) wipe dalvik & factory reset your device (recovery)
2) didn't work? flash lsd or ls8 (single tar file in pda) in odin.
3) should be up and running, search for an ICS ROMs thread and flash ICS.
what happened? maybe a bootloop.

I'll come back here if I have any issues. Hopefully I won't, I've flashed lsj before successfully! Thanks alot!
Btw, would you recommend lsd or ls8? Are there any differences. I know that lsj did not have pop out video player but had pretty much everything else that's available for 4.1 jelly bean.

4.3 sucks bad...
Yes After downgrading to 4.1.2 My S3 (GT-I9300) does not show any Network. It is just a Emergency Call Only phone now.. Though after coming back to 4.3 again it works fine. I am also pissed off with this stupid update by Samsung. Please help if any buddy can...
Is it the official one from the Samsung website?
just downgrade it to 4.1.2 and flash a 4.1.2 modem, it will surely work.
Downgrade SGS3 4.3 to 4.1.2
I had similar issue upgraded to UK Stock 4.3 from Samfirmware ad had a terrible experience. I came across this 4.1.2 stock rom for Germany that worked with no issues as this one has MG4 modem that reads EFS2 partition newly implemented by Samsung,
Product Code: MBC
PDA: I9300XXEMG4
CSC: I9300MBCEMH1
MODEM: I9300XXEMG4
simply flash it through ODIN
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/250954845/08fe425/I9300XXEMG4_I9300MBCEMH1_MBC.zip.html
If your S3 doesn't reboot on its own, enter Recovery Mode by pressing Volume Up + Power + Home button simultaneously and then performing a Data Wipe/Factory Reset and wipe any cache partition. Then select Reboot System Now and you should be good to go.
Hope your problem will also solved as mine. Click Thanks if it works
