Hey
Can someone help me out
I'm on I9300XXDLI2(Leaked Jellybean ROM) i wanna roll back too 4.0.4- I9300XXBLH1-I9300ODDBLG2(ICS India)
The info i have so far
I know i can download the file from Sammobile and flash it via odin and i'll backup the files
Question are
1.Should i preform a wipe before or after flashing the ics to avoid getting stuck at Samsung Logo
2.Should i have Phone,CSC before i flash this rom
3. Are there any more Info i should know before flashing
I'll be leaving my town soon.. i won't have time to flash anymore leaked R.O.M:crying: thought i'll upgrade it via ota or kies
Just make a wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from cwm and than flash with odin the rom you want.

Depends upon what method you are going to use..
If cwm then do what the person above me said..
If using odin.. You don't need to wipe anything.. Guessing from the fact that you downloaded firmware from samfirmware.. You will be using odin.. So just flash the rom.. Install cwm recovery and then boot.. So that in case you are stuck at boot screen... You can wipe data from recovery rather than a factory reset..
By the way I am typing from my phone.. So expect typos!!
D experience learnt was from s2... where tried to downgrade from ics to gb...do wipe all (cache & data factory rset)..then flash or odun it...

BEFORE anyone mention that this problem has been mentioned before, read twice.
i was on omega rom, it kept rebooting. so i cleared cache and all that stuff. shut down the phone, booted in download mode. tried flashing my stock firmware KK3, it goes up to flashing kernel then fails.
when i turn the phone off and on i get the a different screen saying firmware upgrade failed try restoring via kies.
i tried lp2 firmware it flashes fine. could it be that i was using ICS before and now it doesnt let me go back to 2.3.6
pls respond with solutions
Omega has ICS themed ROMs but no ICS firmware ROMs so it wont be cos of that.Did you try a full system wipe before the flash??
boot to recovery and wipe cache partition.Then go to "mounts and storage" and format System/Data/Cache and then do a factory reset then reboot.The Phone probably wont go past the Galaxy-S logo so pull the battery then put it back in and boot to download mode and try the flash again.If that doesnt work you could try to flash the F/W that works and then flash a new kernel.After that try the 2.3.6 flash again.

Thx I will try it soon. But how come I can flash ics kp8 and lp2 roms
Are you using the new bootloader then?
That one Im not sure of but I have read on other threads that people have had to "repartition" their phones to be able to flash back from ICS.Not bieng on ICS I dont see why you cant as the Omega ROM was just themed.Im on the latest Omega and its 2.3.6. so 100% positive it wasnt ICS.Also Try stupid things like another com port.Happened to me once.The one I was using when I had an i9000 stopped letting me flash it via Odin when it reached the same stage every time I tried.Dont Know why.Just had to change ports.Try everything:
1.Full wipe and flash.....If that dont work then...
2.Flash F/W that works then change kernel and flash old bootloader(as mentioned above)never know,might work.

Flash it in PDA in Odin.
ALso you could try a program called "Fus Downloader"

True.Same thing happened to my mate.He has an i9000 and Odin stopped flashing his phone but only if he used a PIT file so I gave him my i9100 cable and it started flashing his phone again with PIT file selected.Weird how things work sometimes for no real reason.Anyway Nandroid backups are always a good call.could have saved some trouble the this case.Ive got a Nandroid backup on my phone and copied to DropBox thats months old but it would get me out of trouble if this sort of thing happened to me Even though its old as.Gotta have that saftey net.

Mate,thats a strange one alright.
Any luck yet.I was thinking that you might have to look for a package that has the older 4 file flash with pit.Its possible that maybe you need to repartition your device.Might be hard to find thought.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to restore my wife´s ACE back to factory using ODIN... a clean copy with her carriers latest ROM...
I have flashed it in ODIN but it still has all her content... and everytime I try to unlock the phone I am getting major FC´s that don´t allow me to do anything!
How the hell do I flash a ROM in ODIN when it is ONE PACKAGE... I have followed all the steps and it passes perfectly but I am still presented with my wife´s wall paper and FC´s... Help!
Do a factory reset in recovery then reflash it

Download stock rom.

One package is not a problem...
Spoiler
sape soh tekan?
When the flashing finishes do you reboot to recovery and do Wipe Data/Factory Reset?
ODIN is not for factory reset, is for flashing roms.
Fixed
I couldn´t reset cos I forgot how to enter recovery using the butons. I have now found out how to do that so all is sorted.
try another usb port
Hi,
I currently have a rooted firmware on my phone and would like to go back to official stock, the question being can i just flash it back using odin and official firmware? would i re-partition to get it back to when i first bought the phone? would i not have to clean the kernel script or anything because i dont want anything left on my phone
I WILL THANK WHOEVER ANSWERS MY QUESTION
THANKS
Are you using a stock rooted ROM?
If yes, just flash a stock kernel
From cwm
Format cache, data, system, dalvik.
Using Odin flash your stock ROM
After boot wipe again using dial code.
Hi I recently just installed clockworkmod by chainfire and now i'm trying to flash a rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844343 ) but when ever i go to install a zip from sd card i can't find the the rom zip file... any help?
Are u looking inte right place. Internal vs external sdcard?
i found it installed it and i think my phone is bricked now... it won't go past the galaxy i9100 screen... can you teach me how to flash stock rom or link me to some stock roms i can flash to?

But have you done a wipe data/factory reset and cache from recovery?
If you flash a 4.0.4 samsung stock, beware of the 4.0.4 emmc brickbug. Google or xda search will get u tons of info about it.

Ok. If you can access download mode just flash a stock rom with odin.

so you are stuck in bootloop? go to download mode and flash a stock ROM/firmware (you can find it in sammobile.com), just flash it with odin and you are good to go..
maybe your download was incomplete, i suggest you redownload the ROM again
Hey everyone,
So after struggling around a day or so, i finally unlocked the BL, rooted and flashed recovery by artas (thank u ^_^ for this awesome tool).
So i would like to know what are the do's and don'ts when flashing custom roms.
My usual procedure is.
1.Wipe data and cache
2.Flash new rom
3. Wipe data and cache.
4. Reboot phone and wait.
If there are additional steps or uneccessary steps. Do point out
Thanks
U should flash cwmtouch.IMG and not use artas cwm after u unlock bootloader..artas cwm doesn't seem to work with some ROMs I've found..
I do it this way
Wipe dalvik cache.. Cache
Format system
Wipe data factory reset
Flash ROM zip.. Flash Google apps..
Reboot

Could you link me to the cwm u mention?
Also I've been stuck on PA 4.3 and cannot access my sd card via usb, drivers always fail installation
Ill revert back to stock probably and then re-start everything...
if you flash kdz to stock make sure to use a rom that acknowledges the bootloader is unlocked or the adb reboot oem-unlock wont work.
i had that problem and just went back to v20b on my p769 then flashed recovery and rom and everything worked fine
