[S5830] How to flash the Stock ROM

Hello,
first of all, I am a total xda-noob (as told by the video) and my deeper Android knowledge is quite small.
Well, I'm seriouly considering to put the Cyanogen mod on my phone and now I have a question about going back to the stock ROM. I've made a backup of the stock ROM using Clockworkmod Recovery and this made seven files which can be seen in the added image. Now I'm wondering how I can go back to the stock ROM if CM doesn't fit me. I know I have to restore the backup in recovery mode but I think I'm right if I say this isn't enough. Can someone tell what to do exactly, as I am very cautionous. Or are there other ways to flash my stock ROM? Thanks in advance! MY CURRENT ANDROID VERSION IS GINGERBREAD 2.3.5
P.S. If this is already answered in another thread or if this placed wrongly, please tell me and I apologize for that.
UPDATE
After some searching I found this small tutorial which fitted my expectations. It said that it can indeed simply be done by restoring it in recovery mode by simply selecting the backup folder. Can someone comfirm this?

Almost right.
Cyanogenmod roms use a different format for the system, called 'ext4'. Stock roms use 'rfs' format.
Before restoring you have to convert to rfs. The easy way to do this is flashing a stock firmware with odin and your phone connected to the pc.
Quick guidelines to restore stock backup:
-flash a stock firmware through odin
-root
-flash cwm through recovery
-restore your backup
-you'll have everything exactly the same way you had it when creating the backup.
If you don't get any of the steps, read through the forum, specially the stickies (you wouldn't have opened this thread if you did so in the first place).

Thank you for answering. About everything is clear now and I understand what I'll have to do. I now understand there is indeed a difference between restoring and flashing a ROM. I've found an online guide which tells me how to use Odin. Only one more question: before using Odin, do I have to factory reset and clear cache partion? I think I do but I'm not quite sure. And if I do this before using Odin, will my phone even be able to boot in recovery mode/download mode? Thanks in advance!

jst wipes user apps and datas in int memory...

Are you mental or just plain sadistic? Telling new ace users to try Rom Manager?
ROM MANAGER WILL BRICK YOUR ACE.
Only under some very specific conditions rom manager works in the ace, if you don't know them, stay away from this app.

You want to help people or make them brick their phones? It is common knowledge that ROM Manager doesn't work properly on Ace.....

Maybe he can use stock lite rom?

ClockworkMod Recovery

I am installing it, but the progress bar hasn't moved for a few mins, in fact it's not even filled up at all. I have used this before on the same phone and it flew, but I had to factory reset (kids messed up the phone) and now it just sits here. Not sure what else to do, any ideas?
Yes I cleared cache facory reset before installation.

if you are installing from recovery then install it from Odin it shall work

CWM
:angel:Hey Guys,
I installed CWM 5.2.7 in my galaxy pop 2.3.6
i tried to make a backup file with Nandroid (cwm)
after backing up process is finished i only see 2 files in my sdcard
1. Boot.img
2. Recovery.img
size of both are only 8 MB
is backup is done properly ?? 0_o
i mean gingerbread file is approx 90 MB
and Nandroid give me 2 files of 8 MB each? what about installed/downloaded apps ?
what if i restore from this backup?
would all apps came back??
plz reply guys:angel::angel:

I think you are ruining stock Samsung firmware
and it cannot be backed up

Stock firmware ? U mean official firmware ?
If this is what u mean then Yes, im using it and i have CWM 5.2.7
i tried nandroid backup and it gives me what i mentioned above .
And what is the point of backing up if u cannot backup on official firmware along with all downloaded app?
I thought Nandroid give me a full backup image which shall contain all settings and apps . In short, just the way it is right now!
And all i need to do a flash restore through this CWM thing....

No, Official Firmware can't backed up cause incompatible settings with NANDROID.

Okay,
Thnx

But i really want to backup my gingerbread along with all apps
..
When i open CWM in my galaxy pop and trying to backing up It shows some error..
E:\recovery log cannt found ....something like that

Of course i'm Galaxy Mini user, maybe you just too lazy to read people signature. Most similiar ROM is emanoN v6 and Chocobread (almost all release is same), or GingerMod 3.0

Thnx for custom roms
And sorry if my req. Or questions annoys u guys

use titanium backup
or create a recovery yourself

E: cannot mount/cache/recovery/command
E: cannot mount/cache/recovery/log
E: cannot open/cache/recovery/log
These error showing when i reboot in recovery mode!
And will titanium make image of my current firmware? Or i have to install apps one by one ?
If i have to install individually im doing it ! Its time consuming and annoying

you can only backup stock roms with stock recovery... once you're flashed a custom rom then CWM will work.

Boot loop when I try install IZS

I was on Mackay rom and before that I was on IZS. But when I tried to flash IZS I got stuck in a boot loop, the phone just hangs on the LG logo and is unresponsive. Can anyone tell me what I can do to fix it?

I use the same version 0 file I had used the first time to install it. The firt time I installed I did v0 and then v0.1 and later v0.2 and then v0.4. Then I decided to try Mackay as I really want Jelly Bean, but the stability, battery life and camera on IZS is just great and that's why I wanted to go back.
Anyway, so my phone got stuck in a bootloop and the only way I could recover it was to use smart flash and flash my old v20e, then I did a full wipe and then tried IZS but got same boot loop. I then did the whole process again with smartflash and v20e and tried JellyBam v4 and Mackay version 2.6.3 and they worked fine. So not sure IZS won't work. Mackay is def not the worst rom to be stuck on, in fact if it had a better camera and not the sd card issues of cm10.1 then it would be just as good in my opinion.
So any ideas? Thanks in advance

Sv: Boot loop when I try install IZS
Try to use pre-izs package
Cheers

As RomWiz said if you use Smartflash anyway use the PRE_IZS_IMAGE (do it like Huexxx explaind in 'case C') and next time you might know why it sometimes is very good to have a nandroid. If you had done that as you still where on IZS before you tryed Mackay you probably could have restored that nandroid much easyer.

Thanks, I will try the PRE IZS image. The funny thing is I did make a nandroid backup before changing to Mackay, but when I tried to restore it, the MD5sum didn't match for some reason. Any idea why that would be?
Anyway thanks guys you have been super helpful and friendly too

It can happen if you rename the nandroid. The name is part of the MD5sum and some programs that help you with reorg your backups should change that, but I had it already that they mess up. Or some backups are dammaged anyway. If you make the backup in CWM directly the changes that it's not OK are slimmer as when you make it with the online nandroid backup app, but both happend to me already. I think in some CWM you can turn the MD5 check off.
I tend to make a backup nearly every week, so if one is bad it might not be so bad. I copy the backups every 3-4 weeks to my PC that I can delete the older ones on my SD card and after 3-4 month I delete them on my PC. Hey hey I make more backups on my phone than on my PC. :laugh:

Good idea, I think that is a great plan. Thanks

Just to let you know I did option C as Huexxx says, using the PRE IZS and smart flash, but still got same boot loop. Weird that it didn't work hey. Anyway I suppose I will just have to hope that Mackay can improve the camera. Thanks again for your help:fingers-crossed:

Custom roms cleans the app installed and other cache. Thats why i avoid flashing rom. Even if u make a detailed backup somethings are still lost.

Umh, download the stock rom from mike's thread.
Now, do a nandroid backup from recovery and after flash the rom.
I think there isn't any stock rom for your version main, so the easiest solution is this
However, you've tried to erase the cache from fastboot with the command: fastboot erase cache

Well i tried the wipe cache/ factory reset etc etc..
In the morning (cause its 2:23 am) i will try the nandbackup(although i have no clue about that) and then a 4.3 stock flash would be reasonable or not?

Defo kernel issue.
- Get odexed from here
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.no/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html?m=1
Or whatever you desire
- Put the downloaded Rom on to your SD.
- Enter cwm/twrp recovery and do a nand (=backup of current ROM)
- install zip of new stock Rom.
Reboot when done.
Either this or just flash bulletproof kernel from flar. see if it gets sorted.

Well I installed TWRP, did a backup, with the default selection, after that I booted, and copied the files.,
Then I copied the odexed file to the device, booted into recovery, and installed it.
Now Wifi Works , and everything is on the "latest" release and still stock.
My question is:
What ROM-s can I try out? Only Odexed? Or Google Editions as well (from the link you provided) and if yes...
I just make a backup from the current setup, and copy it, and then recovery from the backup am I right?
But mainly my problem has been solved... So thank you very much !

Odexed or deodexed, whatever rocks your socks.. if you are gonna do some themeing of icons you need deodexed.
You are S-off and are free to flash loads of stuff.
Google edition? Sure test it out if you want to.
Sure, just back up current Rom and keep it safe on your phone if you can. Any problems occurs you can just restore it.
