Dowgrading official firmwares?

Hi,
I would just like to ask if it is possible to flash from a newer firmware back to an older one via Odin?
For example: My phone is on official JVS, can I downgrade it back to JVR/JVQ?
Is it possible to flash back from JVR to JVQ? I was thinking because they use the same CSC.
Thanks!

Yes u can downgrade....find firmware at www.samfirmware.com and u can flash any firmware any time.

Follow this and make sure repartition is checked in Odin so you can wipe the phone before installing the fw.
But ya you can go from Froyo to GB and back whenever you want on the SGS...

Thanks for the replies. Anyone else can confirm that downgrading official firmwares is possible? Just want to make 100% sure before I do.
Thanks in advance.

If you do it using Odin there is no problem. did that a few times.

I've upgraded and downgraded ROMs, custom and stock, using clockworkmod recovery.
The first root I did on my phone I used Odin, but the flash came with clockworkmod built in, so never needed to use Odin again.
I feel much more at ease using the recovery mode than through Odin for many reasons, but that's just my opinion, I'm sure it works fine if you follow all the steps.

doubt...

well i'm a noob, i have a question that may sound stupid but, if i update my Note with the german offial ICS, would i be able to grab the OTAs is future? im from India...

Ya sure u will be able to do that. I assume if u are going to flash german rom u must be using odin. So in near future when indian ics rom will come u flash that one through odin or if the update for the german rom comes u can flash that one too through odin. But with german rom cannot be updated vai kies. Any how odin is much better.

You don't need root to flash with PC Odin.

How do I fully root the Note?

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.
If anyone could post a step by step guide, That would be super-appreciated, Thank you in advance.

He's already rooted and on stock kernel, if he tries to flash a ROM using above CWM.zip or does factory reset on it, he will brick his device.
Best advice is to go Here, download PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7-signed.zip (that's the one that is compatible with his ROM) and put it on external SD card. From there, boot into recovery mode, and flash Philz kernel from external storage. (It's the only one that can be flashed from stock recovery). Then phone will be fully rooted with safe stock kernel and safe CWM recovery. Only then should any attempt be made to flash ROMs from recovery.
Re: CWM.zip READ THIS

Easiest for me is to flash ICS of your choice using Odin. Then flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar using Odin. Select PDA in Odin to use this file. Google it up. Double check that the file you get is for ICS N7000 and that it is the Odin version.
The end result will be a rooted ICS that you can safely wipe. It also has Clockworkmod installed. This allows you to flash custom JB roms. You may get a yellow triangle upon reboot. Just buy Triangle Away on Google Play store. Reset the counter using the app.

But flashing philz from stock doesn't result in triangle, raised counter and need for triangle away. Surely easier

If he has to ask what is xxLRG, thr i wont even advice him to flash custom roms.
Sell the Note and get your father a Note2. Chances are, he will complain of so many things "not normal" once in custom rom, etc.

Official ICS help

Hi guys, my friend has an OB and wants to upgrade to ICS, i've looked on the web and i've seen flashing with KDZ and others, can u link me or tell me how to flash the official firmware. Also if possible, can u give feedback on how smooth it works. Thnx. I personally own a samsung phone so im more familiar with ODIN. Are there any chances of bricking the OB if done the correct procedure? Thnx again.

No its stock gb rom :< he didnt want to root, he's all the offcial type lol unlike meh.

I think the official ics rom gives massive battery drain that's why we choose to install custom ics rom instead try browsing the general forum for the step by step guide of flashing of the ofc rom thru sft,hope i helped

Go to Here to read and find your answers. If you're still stuck, then ask again. Even though there a few custom roms that can be flashed through Odin, I suggest you avoid using it unless you want to flash stock firmwares.

Why would u choose 4.0 with all the emmc brick bug threat presents? Search the forum or google with the keyword "how to upgrade my N7000 from Gingerbread to Jellybean/ICS" n see what turns out.

Hello. Firstly, I'm sorry to say that I don't have much experience as mine came directly from ICS. I can suggest a long roundabout way which is to update your android vers. from GB To JB through Odin procedure first, then just flash philz safe kernel. and then flash any roms u want. Or if you just want stock JB, then u can download stock JB firmware n flash it through odin.
Edit : Go Here And watch the video and read. The link for the kernel provided includes CWM. After Installing CWM, you can directly flash philz safe kernel, reboot to recovery, do a clean wipe and formats (Follow OP of the rom you want to install)
