Hi every to every one i recently upgrade my SGS2 to ICS 4.0.3 but i found it full of bugs, i mean a lot, (by the way wait until the official release from samsung, thas my opinion) like the non data network miss
My question is, is it safe to downgrade the Phone to GINGERBREAD?
Gosh i love this page
Yes its safe, just make sure to properly install a Gingerbread rom. Next time, just make a backup before installing a new rom so thats its easier to revert back to old rom.
By properly you mean official? Also any gingerbread like 2.3.6? And not the phone stock firmware.

You can check if you have made a back up by going into Rom Manager, manage and restore backups, have a check in their. If you have made a back up the just restore using that back up.
The CWM just gave me the finger XD i do a clean install of the ICS just in case but dont occurred to me to do a backup

search on the original android dev forum in here for the stock roms, download whatever you want to downgrade and flash with odin you will be back to GB 2.3.6 or lower if you want to

I'm still rusty in the android world coming from years of iphone. I just flashed rev.3 and the beans rom i have previously flashed are all gone. Could I flash bean's rom on top of rev.3?

there are no custom roms in the sense other phones currently have. right now each flash is basically it's own version of the OS and overwrites what was previously there.
so potentially is there a way to move files from bean's rom the asop theme to Adam's package?

No easy way, you're better off just flashing back to Beans build.

Once we have the bootloader unlocked (I read there is an announcement tomorrow regarding it) we will be able to backup and restore prior ROM's and builds etc. That will make life far more interesting.
There's really no reason to run Adam's unless you are needing the utilities that are included.

Your apps stayed because you didn't 'wipe' data while flashing. This is known as a 'dirty' flash. For simple ROMS that are mostly stock it's usually not a problem.
As ROMS become more customized dirty flashing starts to cause problems, especially when going to different versions. You end up with FCs.

I have flashed deodexed version and I must say I'm impressed. Fast, stable and battery friendly. Everything works, no bugs at all
Also I've noticed that there is no root in the rom.
This problem was solved by installing root directly from BMM recovery, section system keeper/install root/reboot
Finally I have also system 2 with a reliable rom
Thanks a lot!

Hey since you have tried both, what would you prefer, this one or the verizon one? and if i install this, is erased cid still a requirement for asia retail phone like mine? And o yeah, are the improvements from verizon version, mainly the camera panorama mode is in here too?

Definitely this one! Seems a bit lighter, faster and a lot better 3G connection.
Regarding CID I think it should still be erased coz your not in EU. It shouldn't bother you as before
I didn't noticed panorama mode
Bottom line: it needs to be tested a few more days for stability, but so far I strongly recommend it
And, yes, don't forget to flash the right kernel
Enjoy

Seems tempting to try but one request, could you upload a screenshot or 2 for me? The thing i like about the verizon one is the clean statusbar (no carrier) and the razr i like text messaging theme (the green icon one). I know it might be minor but still he3..
And about the new panorama mode, it is the bomb man, really great at producing panorama shot, you could scan the area anywhere you like, almost no restriction, i could call it photo sphere alpha version so if this vodafone version has it all, i might flash it tonight

Yup i use BMM and i put it on Slot2 because i still keep my ICS in Slot-1 (stock) and yes no more CID erasing.. confirm, just flashing kernel between ICS and JB vodafone Rom depend on which one i use.
maybe after few days testing this rom i will move it to Slot1 as main rom replacing ICS.
before this rom i use Verizon JB but i dont like the signal bar counting seems not accurate, and finally after using the Vodafone JB all signal bar is accurate as i was using my ICS rom.
im a happy person now :victory:
hello I am from Mexico its Latin America. My phone is a xt910 GSM i used to have JB from Verizon but the wifi hotspot didn't work and I go back to ice and restored CID. For this room I need to erase CID? Or I can just flash and does the wifi hotspot works?

Hello, I am using retail asia razr
I am not clear about your description.
Do you mean you flash the Vodafone JB Kernel in system 2 first, then flash the zip file in system 2????
And do I need to do anything to flash rom in system 2???
Does webtop work fine with this?

I noticed alot of people having trouble with flashing ROMS based off the Xmas leak 98.72.8 while being updated to the 98.72.16 OTA, so i made some SafeStrap flashable zips that allow you to keep the .16 OTA in stock slot while having a .8 based ROM in another slot.
No need to fastboot the entire leak to flash leak based roms.
Just flash the appropriate zip for whichever slot you are booting.
Use these if you get bootloops with certain ROMs that require you to be on the christmas leak. You can switch back and forth from stock OTA to custom pretty easy.
I only have an xt912 CDMA so thats all i tested on. Any input is welcomed. I will reply when possible.

I actually wrote it all on my RAzR without a computer.
Once it's there it's there. Most ROMS don't rewrite that file. But to Boot your stock slot without a cryptographic error you have to flash the *.16.zip

or any other slot for that matter. just figured that out. so i will need both files on my sd. still a great zip
edit_ will it work for other than my stock. I never use stock. I have roms on slots 1 and 2 they are .16 and my jellywiz i put on slot 3 and flashed the .8 zip. so in order to use either of my .16 slots i need to flash the .16 zip first? am i correct is this going to work since im not dealing with stock. only the safe side.

ya to go from jwiz to a .16 you have to flash the .16.
OK I want to clarify some questions?
I am on 98.72.16 JB if I want to install Jellywiz RLS7 I need to go on Jb 98.72.8.
So (slot 1 clean) install rom + gapps + Patch GSM then install script changes from 16 to 8 and reboot.
if I want after 1-2 days to use another rom installed on slot 2 must do something or just exchange slots ss 3.11?
thanks
with this I would be able to switch from stock .16 to any ROM .8 slot with ease?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
I successfully booted a .8 rom using the zip, but i cannot boot .16 roms without a crypto whatever error, despite the fact that i have flashed the .16 zip multiple times. Any thoughts?

I never flashed from ICS that I recall. However, you could Odin back to stock. Flash a good stable froyo and try to flash up from there.
I don't remember now if GB boot loader is 100% required but I have it on mine.
I'm getting ready to take an exam, if you haven't got it sorted before I return, I'll help you get running.
Thanks for the reply, I do have the gb bootloaders and I tried going back to stock and still no luck. I get a soft brick every time.

Which ICS ROM are you coming from, and are you doing full wipe?
I had a chance to think about it, and I had trouble getting up to 4.1 the first time I tried. I ended up stepping up gradually.
Odin'd to stock then went up to bionic, skipped GB, went up to latest CM ICS I believe... Then from there onto JB. Been fine since.
Its been a while but that's best as my memory cares to serve me.
I don't think its a real common problem, but occasionally something doesn't jive somewhere.
Hi,
Its not necessary BUT it will always work Odin back to stock and continuing. Once I tried to flash ICZen from FROYO but no luck. Then I ODIN back to stock then CM7 in the middle and ICS on top of it and it WORKED. I have flashed GB bootloaders to get easy key mapping (Anyway u have to flash it if it is required by the ROM) I have flahed JB 4.2.2 Avatar ROM on top of ICZen which has worked for me. woody has a [Guide] How to install ICS **EVERYTHING you need to know how to install them** so you can get an idea Sometimes you have to flash the ROM twice b/c CWM updation
Always do a CLEAN flash (FULL wipe) before flashing a new ROM
Hope u would get JB ROM flashed successfully
