[Q] Help on downgrading from CM9 to stock GB

Recently I flashed my SGS i9000 to CM10 with CWM and then CM9. Now I want to downgrade to the stock GB rom. Is there any clean instruction to do that? I've searched for a long time to have a clear idea about the exact procedure and found several tutorials. But they are confusing. Some says that I have to use Odin with the re-partition option checked but someone says, don't do that. What exactly should I do? Which version of Oding should I use? Should I flash with Bootloader/ update Bootloader?
Another question is, which is the latest stock GB rom? Please help me providing download link.

How I do it every time:
Go to sammobile.com. From there download XXJW4 (I use it). Unzip it and you'll find just one .tar file.
Also beforehand go find a file named dbdata.rfs (I think it is).
Open Odin with your phone connected in download mode. Click on PDA and navigate to the .tar file.
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THAT.
Press start. Give it a moment while it flashes everything in.
Now your phone will boot- in a bootloop. Dom't worry. Take the battery out, reconnect and go into download mode. Connect and open Odin.
Again, click on PDA and find dbdata.rfs. Again, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
Press start. It'll flash in that one file.
Done.

Maybe the downloaded file is corrupted..Try flashing another baseband FW and check it.
For flashing kernels theres a SAFE AND FREE app

Install this app and open it
Select the md5 or bin files from it and flash them and restart.
There you go...its done
I dont know about downgrading to GB..never tried and not gonna try it
MY JB is awesome:highfive:

thanks for reply,,,
look my binary count (115) i was flashing with many different frimware
can you guide me step by step for repairing recovery mode????
THANKS

You can't enter recovery after flashing original fw via odin? Try taking out battery, put it back in and force recovery. Press it for a long time till it enter recovery. Then factory reset. I encountered this once on galaxy ace, endless bootloop and can't enter recovery but download is okay. Then I pressed the buttton until it somehow got into recovery. I don't know if this works but you can try though.

We do not have any JB custom kernel that is flahsable with Odin. So I suppose you flashed GB custom kernel on JB, that is your problem. Flash whole STOCK JB FW again. After that use ONLY JB kernels. CoCore 6.x for example. Only one not abandoned from updates for now.
Do this again with JB, step by step: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086965
And kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, put it on SD card, install Frapeti's universal kernel flasher. Install some ROOT explorer, this app needs it to work. Use it to install kernel.

[Need Help] [Wrong ROM flash] Xperia Z won't turn on.

So I flashed the cm11 ROM for my sony Xperia Z aaaaand, The phone won't turn on at all. Then I realised that I flashed whole .zip package, without extracting boot.img kernel. So I flashed whole thing without kernel and now my phonewon't turn on at all (I know I am idiot). It just showing a red ledlight whereverI am conneting it to charger or PC.
Can u please help me guys? What should I do?

Well, you know the .zip package that you can download from the cm site? There is a boot.img file inside. But insted of extracting it and flash it by the flashtool on the computer, I flashed the whole package (rom + kernel which were inside one .zip file) by cwm on my phone.
[EDIT]
I am trying to repair it by updating the software via Pc companion. I'll let you know if it's worked or not where it will finish downloading update.

@Saguri please download any ROM made for xperia z..pull out the kernel (boot.IMG) connect your phone in fast boot mod(by pressing the volume up key first and then connecting the USB) blue led will light up...now flash the boot.IMG with the help of flashtools ...downland any ftf file for xperia z
..flash it via flash tool but in flash mod and u will get your phone revived back

@Vishalkris thanks, the method with flashtool worked, i downloaded stock rom for my xperia, everything is working now, i am able to use my phone again, thanks.
PROBLEM SOLVED, this thread can be deleted now. Thanks again to everyone for help.

[Q] Need help . In danger of hard bricking Note 4

Ok , step by step of what I did and where Im at now .
I got the Note 4 today . Played with stock firmware for a moment ( last running firmware was Anj7 baseband stock unrooted ) . Booted into download mode rooted with ch-root and checked nand erase all in Odin . I believe it erased the stock rom . Binary was changed to custom confirmed in download mode screen .
Then Flashed TWRP .
boot into TWRP when I try to wipe it says
cant mount /data cant mount anything basically and wipe fails because nothing will mount.
I try to install FireKat v5 rom and it says successful despite TWRP wont mount anything( is v5 anj? . Do I need to flash stock rooted before I can flash any other rom ? )
Reboot after install and it goes into a boot loop after boot screen transitions into boot animation .
So at this point I have no bootable rom . It doesnt appear anything will mount in TWRP for some reason .
And Im considering flashing sammo official ANJ rom to atleast get a working phone but I dont know what changes the bootloader version be it ch root or flashing a rom . And right now Im scared if the bootloader has changed and I try to revert to an older bootloader with the sammo official anj rom it could hard brick .
Im gonna need some serious advanced help here. I never done nothing like this mess before

Let me try my noob expertise out lol...from what I know the only way to hardbrick is by using the wrong modem on your variant. So I think you have nothing to worry about. What you have is soft brick.
Download from sam mobile nj7 or nk4 firmware and reflash via odin. Hope this helps.
NOTE 12-10+2 ?

Ok im downloading nj7 right now . I think the problem I did was erasing nand when I did first root and it caused no partitions to be set.

What part of the root process was not clear. If you look online u will find step by step rooting video. Go back to stock and try again thru odin
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Just flash stock rom with Odin and start over. Don't do the crazy erasing step next time. These phones are hard to brick. I've honestly never seen one I couldn't fix.

Yes, in Odin you shouldn't be clicking anything other then the pda box to put the proper tar in. Which of you download the cf auto root zip. Then make a new folder on your desktop. Open the downloaded cf auto root zip. Then highlight and drag n drop all files/contents of your Cf auto root zip into the newly created folder on your desktop. From the newly loaded folder right click on Odin run as administrator. Once in there put your phone into download mode and hook it up via USB to your pc a blue box with the word Com and a number will pop up in the upper left. The number doesn't matter as long as it says Com and a number, this is odin's way of showing it recognizes your device. . Hit the pda tab it'll bring you to that folder with only one file showing. Double check it's named Tmo to insure you downloaded the correct one. Select it. Odin will automatically fill in the proper boxes.
Hit run and it should knock it out fairly quick.
