Going from gb to froyo

If I want to go back to froyo can I just flash it like I normally would or is there something else I need to do? I'm using i9000 gb bootloaders by the way.

you must have a way to get froyo/eclair bootloaders onto your phone. The most common way, that has always worked for me is Odin3 1click. It will take you back to stock 2.1 eclair, then you can flash froyo roms without issue. (don't use the 3-button fix version - you will brick)
search before you post though. you may have a moderator on you about this. This information is all over these threads. Good luck.

Oh, that's right. I forgot that GB bootloaders were backwards compatible. I personally have never used GB bootloaders while on a froyo rom, but the rumor is that you can do that. thanks for reminding me of that.

[Q] Easiest way to get HSUPA

I'm running the stock Gingerbread I got from Odin one click on my captivate. I really want to enable HSUPA, but I don't have the skills you guys have, and it seems you have to make a lot of changes to the phone and use an i9000 Rom. Is there an Odin one click out there that will just flash everything, or is there a step by step guide somewhere? As I said, sorry if I sound dumb, but I'm not used to doing all the steps that seem to be needed.

Yes you need an. I9000 modem /kernel combination to enable hspa its only a couple of steps to install read the I9000 rom ops they should all have instructions on how to flash them...which usually consists of a full version of odin flash to stock gingerbread, an odin flash of a re oriented kernel with cwm baked in it, and then finally the rom flash in cwm...
But at this point, just flash a kernel with odin that has cwm and then flash an I9000 rom in recovery since you already have gingerbread bootloaders...

Cool. Can I get the right thread link?

Go to the mosaic thread, post 2 has all the instructions and files you need.

Oh yeah, there we go... Thanks studacris for the tip earlier in Q & A

The instructions are fairly clear, but if you have something you're stuck on go to the Mosaic thread in the Q&A section. Make sure you understand what you need to do before you try to flash. A lot of folks get into trouble by trying it before they understand.
But as Studacris said, the tread post has all you'll need
Enjoy!

Did it! I'm free of ATT! The stock ginger is fine for me! The speed is much better! Only 3 things.
1. Is there a fix for the home button?
2. No more USB mass storage mode?
3. How to root.
I'm not going to mess with any custom roms yet. I'm very, very happy.
Found the home button fix! Clockwork mod is great! As are these forums!

settings, wireless and networks, usb mode, usb mass storage
flash the attached to root, assuming you have flashed a reoreinted kernel with cwm baked in

Hi,
I followed the instructions for the HSUPA, and nothing seems to be broken, but my question is.... is there anything i can see in the settings of the phone that show the dl of the I9000 kernel took?
Thanks,
I love all the work everyone does!

Installed the Reoriantated I9000. Rooted. Then, installed the kc1 modem, or, as I am now fondly calling it, the modem on crack. . HOLY ****! Getting like 2MB down and 1.5MB up. Before, about 512k down and like 30k up! ATT is an absolute disgrace for what they did to this wonderful phone. It doesn't even seem like the same phone anymore. More responsive in every way, no bloatware, and almost 4G like internet! Seriously, non-Iphone users should band together for a class action lawsuit. We shouldn't have to go through this Hell to make hardware work the way it was meant to.
Too tired to mess with other roms, but sure as hell used clockwork to back this one up! Thanks for all the help and patience again.
Oh, one last thing. I have the Odin one click for ATT stock. If I ever need warranty, will that one flash bring everything back to the ATT garbage?

Yes it will

I get 5 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up

More ROMs' Pls.

I'm looking for a more stable ROM for my G1. I've been running it on the Chromatic Dream for too long, I want something that can make it a daily user again without lagging/much lagging and without draining the battery. Thx in Advance.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

well those are some pretty high demands coming from a junior member... j/k
lol im not going to say 1 rom is better than another because it depends what you like in a rom, but to be straight forward with it... Froyo is the way to go, there are many different kinds... stock froyo, themed froyo, even sense froyo!! but i believe the most stable/un-complained about rom would be Froyo by laszlo... hands down this rom is just... almost perfect, so try that and other froyo roms till your happy
happy flashing and good luck!!

Thx for the intel. I downloaded the ROM by Laszlo this morn; I'm hoping to have it flashed on my G1 this weekend. And again Thx.

I also wanted to know since my G1 is already rooted do I have to flash another custom recovery and re-do adb. Couldn't I just load the new custom ROM on the root of my SDCard and flash it?

yeah the sad truth about laszlo's rom is it was discontinued, but is still the most stable... lol and yes you can just put a rom on root of sd and flash to your device... but be sure to wipe data

As long as you do a full wipe via recovery first, that's the preferred way of installing new ROMs...

This phone must have over 100 roms in total, you should be able to pick one from that batch...

[Q] Want to install custom roms; a few questions

1. Would HO!NO! Mod CM7.1.3 ICS Edition be slower than a stock android 2.2.1 (rooted)?
2. How would I backup my phone if I don't like the rom and how would I reinstall it?
3. If i install that particular mode mentioned above, Does that mean I have ICS on my phone?
thx. i'm a noob.

I'm guessing you're using a Milestone. I'm not familiar with the ROMs for it or backup/recovery procedures, but the one question I can answer is #3. You would have Gingerbread, not ICS if you installed that ROM. CM7 is based on Android 2.3, CM9 on Android 4.0 (ICS). As the first post in the thread you linked says, that ROM has a 2.3.7 base with ICS theming, which is kind of like putting a Mustang body on a Ford Tempo.

oh ok thx. but would the ICS theming have any performance impact or none? and yea i have a Milestone

first of all installing a custom rom makes u get plenty of features. 2nd it wont get u the brute speed of the official froyo but it gives many more features in the expense of speed
3rd yaa u can intall ics theme for cm7 theme chooser it will give you a clone of ics .....

i still need help with backing up my phone.
This guide: [How To] Root, Backup, and ROM Your CDMA (nTelos) Milestone, didn't help because I have a Telus Moto Milestone and I think it has a locked bootloader.

wen u go into the open recovery menu u will find a option called nandroid there u can backup your rom.. and if u want to install it again jus go to nandroid and restore ..
do add thanks if it was helpfull

k thx. everything is working.
BUT now i get " no service " . I first got this when i installed open Recovery. How do i fix this? I tried changing my baseband to Canada and to telus but it still dones't work. I Also tried restoring the backup i installed and it still didn't work
BTW it is a Motorola Milestone from Telus ( i think it's a A853). But it was originally unlocked to be use on Rogers. I think the original .SBF file i used was the cause of the no service.

yaa most probably.. . thus bug has been noted down by many users .. why dont u flash the original sbf back and try?
add a thanks if it was helpfull

ok i finally fixed it for good (hopefully). I found out that even tho I bought Milestone in Canada, It was a Europe version. I randomlly picked the UK .sbf and now I have service.
thx for all your help shalom06

Few questions, CWM Backup, Custom Stock, Gingerbread...

Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

1. Yes go to clockwork mod folder on SD card
2. Yes search for stock DEODEXED ROM
3. Yes search. No cm7 ever though. There is a thread that lists all roms.

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)
1:
However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)
