[Q] How to downgrade from CM11 to Stock JB ? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

No,you don't need anything,as @Jeetu explained,if you want to go completely stock,Odin is the way to go.

Downgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.0.4

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.

Yeah after flashing the firmware via odin ur phone will be unrooted
That 'exynos exploit' by 'chaingire' can also be used to root XXLSJ in just one click, without any flashing etc.

Hi I hope someone on here can help me...
I recently flashed my girlfriends sgs2 (via odin pc) with the new XXLSJ jelly bean leak. Because its not 'officially' released we have to use Philz kernel, is that correct? I basically want completely stock and the update WITHOUT ROOT AND YELLOW TRIANGLE...
Is this possible?
I myself have the same phone and have custom rom based on this leak and Philz kernel, but for some reason have no triangle? ?
So, I want...
- Jelly Bean Stock rom
- No Root/Triangle.
Thanks. ..
Maybe I should have waited for the official release..

When u flashed that leaked firmware, ur phone was already in stock but with TW 5 unrooted condition.
Secondly, for that triangle problem....Use the 'triangle away' app from play store.
Also, if u want official update then for few weeks more :/

You have to change your kernel:

And I hope u meant jelly bam

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.

Galaxy S2 (i9100) upgrade from stock 4.0.4 to CM11

Hi all, my second ish post on xda (yes im a moderate android noob), i am after some advice and help on flashing CM11 to my S2 (Intl), as it feels really outdated (because it is) and also quite slow (because it is). Ive read about the brickbug and i ran Chainfire's GotBrickbug tool and it said "unknown chip, not sure if dangerous, at least it isnt known to be bad. The chip is V3U00M and the revision is 0xE. I also ran another checker and it said sane chip. Im running the stock 4.0.4 (rooted with Framaroot and removed carrier rubbish) and apparently 4.0.4 is prone to bricking. Ive read about flashing new kernels (Siyah etc) and other methods. I know there is the 4.1.2 update, does that remove the chances of brickbug so i can then flash CM11 via CWM? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Official 4.1.2 firmware is safe, only 4.0.4 has brickbug.
So do i just upgrade to 4.1.2 then use odin to flash CWM 6.0.4.5 and then follow normal procedure? Thanks for replying btw

Download XWMS3 4.1.2 from sammobile site(you have to log in). Then use Odin to flash it. Download PhilZ xwms3 kernel and put kernel zip on sdcard. Reboot in stock Samsung recovery and flash that kernel zip file. Then reboot again in recovery and flash philz 6.0.5.0 touch recovery.
Or... You can root 4.1.2 with siyah kernel, but you need to flash kitkat compatible recovery

Yes, you can use OTA to update your android. Then you need to root your phone and install CWM compatible recovery to flash CM11

Thanks heaps man, ill probably use Framaroot as it is easy and it works atm, hopefully ill be a happy user of CM11 haha
I just thought I'd say I've got the S2 on OmniRom 5.1 now after using a rather unstable and buggy CM11 nightly. Thanks for your help BTW
