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.

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.
My dear yes it is possible to any firmware at any time

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.

If your new firmware is Stock firmware(released by samsung), you can flash with Odin(dont select reset partition in odin)
OR you can connect to Kies n update it.
OR Go to setting - about phone - software update, check if update available OTA, if available, you will get notice n update from there(easiest n fastest way)
Hello.
One week ago,I was forced to flash custom ROM,cause something goes wrong and I didn't have backup. However,I want back the stock ROM. Where can I download it? I don't want to install Kies to my laptop,because normally I don't need it. I am able to flash the ROM using CWM.

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

You can find all your answers about flash and brick here and about ics here.
Please search a little before you ask a question.
Hi folks. I have decided to return back to ICS to get the official JB update when it hits in the UK. I was on various Custom JB roms but mainly CM10.1 and now want to try back out the standard JB. Anyways being the sensible chap that I thought I was I done a back up of ICS and that has reinstalled perfect. However not being such a clever chap I forgot I done that back up after updating to 4.0.4 (XXLRK) via Odin when I had my pc and now Kies wont let me update via it. Second problem I have is I no longer have a pc (in my house) because I bought an iMac.
So my question is. Is there a way to get a the standard ICS firmware that should be on an O2 Carphonewarehouse N7000 in the form of a ROM rather than the Odin files somewhere? I still have CWM recovery and Philz 3.99 installed and working.
Thanks in advance.
You can download the firmware you want from samfirmware.com and place it on phone memory. Then use mobile odin to flash the rom.
Do not wipe on stock ics kernels.

Ok I shall look to that idea. Just as another quick question if I do install the firmware via mobile Odin will it change the Kernel or will it keep me on Philz and thus still be safe?
While selecting the rom in mobile odin, it will fill up the partitions. At that time change the kernel manually to philz ics kernel tar.md5 file. That way you will be safe.
Just a thought but i wonder would kies pick up on the kernel and not allow update because of that?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No kies does not pick up kernel. Just PDA, phone and csc. But OTA won't work on other kernels and recoveries.
Had a look on Samfireware but no sign on 4.0.4 for United Kingdom. Am i just being blind?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
There is a cpw 4.0.4 in there which is xxlrk. I think that's what you already have.
Just looked one website via iMac and can see it. Not sure but here is a screen shot of my settings and i notice that the firmware seems to be the one listed.
Any other idea why kies not liking this?

This is what my kies says.

Could be because the baseband is incorrect. Open the rom file you downloaded and there will be a modem.bin file. Flash it using mobile odin. Use the modem tab.
Aha i knew it would be someething daft that i was missing. Thanks man.
Can you flash modem via cwm?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I don't know what modem it comes with that's why I asked you to extract from the rom file. If you know then check in this

Thats brilliant. I will look at that tonight after work. Thank you very muxh for all your help.

Downloaded and flashed the LRK modem and seems like all is well and Kies likes it all again. Very big big thanks for the help.
No problem.. Take care.
Hey guys I'm trying to help restore my uncle's phone back to stock but I'm not sure what I should be using to flash over it. Right now it's running Slim Bean 4.2.2 (Build 8). He bought this phone second hand so I'm not sure where this phone is from originally.
The baseband says N7000XXLR1 and I couldn't find that anywhere, would I be able to just flash the official XXLT9 4.1.2 firmware over it using Odin?
You can flash any rom you like, but might be better to stick with one for your region.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You will need to do data wipe. Do it while you have Cwm recovery. And then boot into download mode and flash the stock rom. This may save you a factory reset after flashing.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium
Alright thanks guys. So to clarify I can flash any of the official 4.1.2 firmware and it should work fine (I won't have to worry about the baseband)? I was planning on flashing the unbranded stock rom I found here.
Yes u can flash the unbranded rom
Its latest xxlt9
N its unbranded u don't have to bother for baseband..
U can flash n go on..
