Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I already have a custom 4.1.1 rom on my s3. Is it possible to downgrade to another rom which is 4.0.4? And if possible how? May i directly flash the custom 4.0.4 to the 4.1.1?
Thanx in advance

you want downgrade to stock 1 or custom 1 ?
custom just use cwm, stock then odin
*both normally need to wipe after flash ICS

I did it many times. switching between 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 back and forth no problem. Just do the normal process of wiping everything first and flashing the new ROM in CWM.

A roms a rom regardless if its ICS, JB or even a rom based on Gingerbread!! - As said above you flash the same way regardless.:good:

Just use CWM like previously started. Just do a full wipe of everything after you back up both internal and external SD cards, then flash.

Download Odin (can be found in this forum)
Download your stock firmware 2.3.6 (I dont know about the CHN_CHN Version)
Put your phone into Download Mode. (Power Off, Hold volume down+home+power button)
Run Odin
Choose PDA file which is your stock firmware.
Flash

IMPORTANT : While choosing model from the dropdown on Checkfusdownloader, choose "GT-I9100G"... Do not choose "GT-I9100".
相信你是个中国人,要不然应该不能买到中国版的9100G。

I tried this before when I first flashed to CM9, I get bootloops. Since then, I forever stick to ICS and never trying to convert back to GB although I wish to do so. I dare not and i'm lazy to deal with the bootloops.. I not sure why I get bootloops btw, some other ppl faced that as well. So I hope this brother able to convert back to GB successfully. Good luck.
To convert back to GB you have to flash an old GB bootloader for some reason after flashing the stock ROM. After that do a full wipe, everything else ended up in a bootloop for me.
Fingers crossed .

So end up you success? Would you mind to share the old GB bootloader? Not the stock rom. Is the particular bootloader. Thanks!!
Yes I succeeded converting back to GB stock ROM, now I'm on french ICS.

I can flash GB stock GDZKL3 after flashing this bootloader right? bootloader should flash before flashing rom, or after flashing the rom? Thanks.
I tried both options. Try flashing the bootloader at first but don't forget to uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in odin. After that you should be able to flash the stock GB ROM. Do you have a jig just in case of any problems? I remember I used my jig, but don't really know why.

[Q] Upgrading to real ICS 6 without much trouble?

Hi guys,
quick question - I'm currently running real ICS 5.2, want to upgrade to 6 - can I just boot into CWM and install the rom following the installation instructions or do I have to flash it back to stock rom first?
No need flash stock rom.

Quick follow-up question: Updating PACman Rom, can I just update it without wiping anything? (which would be nice! )

While you can boot and use the rom without wiping, some users found that a couple bugs appeared, and then after a factory reset they got it working. So I guess it won't hurt to try, right?
Updating from what to pacman? If it's another rom you need to do full wipe and format /system
No, just updating from pacman alpha 11 r2 to alpha 12. I think I will try later on after doing a backup and then see if everything works well.

You have to change your kernel:

Tried flashing Philz kernel and it still failed to install the rom saying installation aborted.

Do I need to do anything with my kernel?
You dont seem to know the basics pal.The stock rom he linked contains kernel/modem/rom so have a guess what happens when you flash them to your phone.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

What aborted? Flashing the newly downloaded rom or flashing Siyah via ODIN and then trying to flash rom again?
If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.

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.

[Q] How to downgrade from CM11 to Stock JB ?

I have upgraded my device from stock ICS to stock Jelly Bean, after that to Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly, and I want to try new roms and try the stock JB some more (I only tried it for half a day or so), so I'm wondering if the downgrading process is the same as the upgrading process ? Do I just have to transfer the rom+gapps to SD card, clear cash and flash or there's something to do before that ?
NOTE : I don't wanna use ODIN .... It doesn't get along with my device

Use any latest Philz Kernel flash it from recovery and then flash any custom jb rom.
If you want stock jb for that you have to use Odin.
