Can i upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3 directly through odin ? or i must flash 2.2 first ?
thx.
some people say yes, I don't know why you couldn't but it isn't much to go to 2.2 first to be safe?
Yes you can it's a complete firmware not an update
Yes, you can. With odin you can go from any version to any version and back. You just need to flash a ginger rom with phone, pda and csc files + pit file.

Hi All,
I Upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S to Froyo 2.2. All seems well but the performance does not seem all that great as well.
If i want to restore back to the Standard Manufacturer Firmware (i was on JG4) that comes out of the box with the I9000 what do i have to do? Any help here would be appreciated.
Download the firmware from samsung-firmwares and flash your phone with odin. There is plenty of flashing tutorials about to show you how to do it. Although if you managed to update to froyo then you properly already know how to flash it again

Hello. I managed to get the firmware from samfirmware.com for the original 2.1 (Asian version) but I couldn't get it to follow through. There would always be an error with regards to MD5 or something. What do I do? Thanks

I have the same problem as well, any helps here please?
Alot of the the DXJG4 firmware out there is corrupted.
So, try download DXJF4 from samfirmware.com (and flash with Odin with 513 pit) then uprade to DXJG4 through KIES.
NOTE: If KIES says "Device version's cannot be upgraded". Then you need to change your product code back to "XSO" (Search the forum on how to change product code.... about editing the nv_data.bin file)
My Flash history:
DXJF4-->DXJG4-->XXJPK-->DXJG4
I'm pretty new....
The firmware versions you guys are talking about are I hope, all "software" version and not real hardware chip revisions?
thanks
why dont you just flash your phone with 2.2.1 or 2.3.3(latest).....i know 2.2 is quite unstable FW but 2.2.1 will help a lots......I dont think you need to downgrade the phone back to the stock FW to solve any problem
How Do I downgrade from 2.3.3 [JVO] to 2.2.1 [JPY] using Odin? How do I fully downgrade it all, bootloaders etc?
well you need to find a froyo ROM with bootloaders - if you updated them when flashing GB 2.3.3
ideally you want a froyo ROM with all 3 files and a 512PIT, also with re-partition checked.
head over to www.samfirmware.com and have a look there for a 2.2.1 with all 3 files,
IT MUST CONTAIN BOOTLOADERS IF YOU CHANGED THEM !!!
alternatively if you cannot find a froyo rom with 3 files AND bootloaders. flash this first as a single PDA with NO pit and NO re-partition http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
then flash a firmware with 3 files and pit
hope that makes sense ???
Yeah makes sense thanks, I upgraded via KIES so the bootloaders would of been updated too, Do you recommend choosing "Update phone bootloader" on Odin? or leave that blank ?
Gingerbread bootloaders work on froyo, but if you are down downgrading to go to cm/miui then you do need froyo bootloaders, nitr8 produced ezodin files to revert, search dev forum

You can find the stock rom from samfirmware.com
While flashing if you are using a single file then repartition should be unticked, if you are using multiple file pda,pit etc then you have to tick repartition
You are on gingerbread.
In my experience best custom rom is Darky's . you can try 10.2RE then upgrade with 10.2.1

you can roll back to stock rom at any time. for getting stock rom you can visit samfirmware.com
Once you flash the Darky its included the kernel. If you want to change the kernel you can change it later.
