Returning to stock - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Thinking of selling my i9000 soon (to upgrade to an S3), before I sell it. I'd like to return it to a stock rom and unroot it (currently on CM9), which stock rom should I use? How do I unroot it, and how do I remove all my personal information?
Thanks in advance

Thanks! Do I need to use a PIT and repartition? Are there any things to look out for since I'm going from ICS to GB, or is it just the same as flashing any other Odin ROM?
Sorry for all the questions

There is no problem to go back to gb from ics if you use odin.just flash it and you are done.

Excellent! I read somewhere a while back that there was, must have misread it...
Thanks!

I thought that it is not that easy because some ICS use different filesystems.

If you want to get back to gb custom rom it's difficult.odin is used to flash official firmware.

Ahh, because I would be using CWM for most custom ROMs?

There is no issue ,use odin to go back to unrooted gb and then root it and install whatever rom you want.

This one will help you. As I said it is not that easy and needs some patience from you, but you will succeed.

[Q] Downgrade to Overcome 7 from AKOP

I have installed AKOP with MTD on the P1000, everything is fine but just find out that the system is a bit lag, even the CPU has overclocked to 1200, so I have been thinking go back to Overcome 7 which is what I was using previously.
Can I just copy the overcome 7 rom to SD and reboot the Tab to recovery mode and flash the rom from there?
Thanks everyone
No. You need to restock to GB using Odin/heimdall

Not only that, you will need to repartition by including pit file.
Thanks. I forgot to mention that.
But I could argue that it was implied
I mean, how to successfully restock to gb without that!

If your not rooted and you ran update via Kies then i would load an old back up recovery from Kies and re install.

So I am supposed to flash
GB-Stock-Safe-v5 \ Hotfile - 4shared
?
and it will give me the stock rom?
That is right.
That is one of the Samsung stock, JQ1 for Italy.
Download the guide too.
And this is a good base to flash overcome kernel, which gives you cwm recovery, which is what you need if you want to flash any custom Rom.

If you know everything your questions are a surprise.
My answer was short because there really isn't anything more to do. Why should I talk and fill an answer with bloatwords?
Of course you should make backups (in recovery and/or with TB) of your devices and data - but that isn't a "must" only a sign of "diligence".
I heard some ROM doesnt work with philz or blablabla and im just afraid cuz i never try. And another one is i saw some custom mention LSZ or anything else, i afraid that official JB XXLSZ only for XXLSZ and will brick if i flash it on XXLRI. And im asking what to do before flashing, because i thought there would be something i need to install/flash before flashing that official JB. Thx guys
