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.

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 all. I would need your help to understand how to fix the following issue:
My girlfriend downloaded and installed a gingerbread version 2.3.4 (build xxjvp) using odin more than one year ago.
Since then Kies does not recognize the device anymore.
The phone has been bought in Italy but it starts with Hungarian language as a default (it also has Italian and English for sure).
We would like to know what is the most updated stock rom available for that phone and we would like to download the appropriate one (so that Kies recognise the phone).
Possibly the link to the firmware would help as well.
You might be able to find what you need here.

Look up ICS333 flashing guide. There is a GB flash kit with all the files you need. Backup with titanium backup, flash the stock from the ICS333 installation instruction thing and restore with titanium. Why not upgrade to ICS? I recommend ICS333. Best ICS rom ever!
Does everything work on ics and i9000s?

Yeah. ICS works exactly like it should. It also depends on the rom. Eg. On CM9 formatting the external SD doesn't work. On ICS333 everything works.

Flash the stock rom on the ICS333 installation instructions page. That will being the phone to its original stage. Why do you want to use kies? I don't use it. Not many people do. Custom ROMs brake kies. You have to be on stock to use kies. Why not Google sync or something.
It's not working because Kies sucks just flash whatever firmware you like in Odin with the link I provided you. Easy just follow instructions in link. Flashing your phone with Odin is the quickest and easiest way to get it back to original stock setup.

Hi, I want to update Stock ICS ROM (found from Sammobile available in my region). When I connected to Samsung Kies, it shows "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". Possibly due to custom kernel, I guess.
Currently I'm using Notecore v12.5 kernel on Stock ICS ROM (DXLR2 - my region). Do I need to flash back Stock kernel first (from XDA thread) following the same as my current ROM version?
Thanks for your help.

Not guaranty even after flashing stock kernel you may get it. But sure you can try. If your installed rim is not for your region still it wont allow to update, in that case update using Odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
You need to be full stock but also you need to match your csc with the rom to be able to use kies...
I encourage you to flash a gb stock via odin and once in gb change the csc as it requires a wipe and wiping in ICS stock kernel its not safe..
Don't know if you can change csc in a custom kernel... SO someone like dr. Ketan could guide you better in this... In order to avoid going back to gb to change the csc

Thanks for your reply, Dr. Ketan.
I've tried flashing back Stock kernel downloaded from your thread Anyhow, still unable to upgrade by Kies. Checked firmware version shows on Kies, looks like PDA & CSC version incompatible even I chose the same kernel version
Shall I clear cache & Dalvik? Which method much safer on stock ICS?
If all still not working, perhaps I need to re-flash using PC Odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
No wipe is safer on stock ics.
Reflash notecore, full wipe then flash ics using pc odin
Then again reflash notecore n finally reset counter. This shud b easiest n safest way.

Noted. If I don't want to full wipe (take time to re-install since I don't use any backup apps), can I still flash Stock ICS 4.0.4? Means that after flashing all will restore to factory default & root missing?

Yes you can flash stock ICS 4.0.4 without wipe too.
If you flash nonwipe version(My stock ICS ROM thread listing contains only Nonwipe), still your data will be intact, but No root.
But, If anything goes wrong you have to wipe compulsory and you will lose data. another thing is clean flashing always give you better performance.
So in case of you want to keep data, use mobile odin. like this
1-Reflash Custom kernel to get root access(i doubt you may have partial root.If you having full root, you can escape this step)
2-Backup with Titanium
3-wipe cache and data(here only if you have safe kernel, otherwise skip)
4-Reflash ICS
5-Reflash custom kernel
6.Wipe cache and data, if you have note did on step3
7-Restore data wit Titanium

Thanks for your guidance. I will try first suggestion to flash Stock ICS ROM without full wipe. Previously downloaded non-wipe Stock ICS ROM from Sammobile See if this work fine for everything. Then only install back Notecore v13.

Dr. Ketan,
I reflashed Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM, but the Superuser still exists. I connected to Kies & it still doesn't support upgrade by Kies. The root should be missing, isn't it? But, it still exists.
Don't know where it goes wrong.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Also, notice from Kies, current firmware version as :
PDA:LR2 / PHONE:LR1 / CSC:LR1 (XXX)
I thought if CSC same as kernel & follows PDA version, it should be LR2 (XME) ; XME - my region.
Any idea? Thanks

B'coz you must have updated supersu from market in previous.rooted rom. That install as non system appl, which can't remove by flashing rom, you need to uninstall update before flashing ROM.

Dr. Ketan, you are right. I updated SuperSU from Google Play. I did not remove it while flashing Stock ICS ROM.
Afterwards, I tried to flash latest version DXLR5 (my region) downloaded from Sammobile. It managed to clear my SuperSU from menu & About Phone shows the same version.
Note : I found SMS can't send or receive. Even I manually key in phone number of Operator's SMSC.
However, it still doesn't support upgrade by Kies. I guess likewise you said due to CSC / kernel incompatible
If so, how can I change back to Stock firmwares to get back ori PDA/Kernel/Modem/CSC (since I reflashed Stock ICS ROM directly still helpless)?
Shall I flash back to Stock GB ROM & do full wipe first? Then, install back Stock ICS ROM? Lastly, can flash Notecore v13 kernel?
Thanks for your help

Find out any GB ROM which was available for your country, then flash it using PC odin.
Then check your CSC by *#272*IMEI#, if it is not same as it shud be, then manually change it from list available there. This will hard reset your device, then you should be able to get update on Kies.
PS: Practically i dont feel any importance to have correct CSC. You can use your country Modem if you have any issue with SMS or mobile service related issue on foreign ROM.

Noted, Dr. Ketan. I have Stock GB 2.3.6 ROM (from Sammobile) & will flash via PC Odin & do full wipe from there.
Just checked *#272*IMEI#, it shows XME (my region). Guess why it can't upgrade by Kies
Again, thank you

Oh, yes, Dr. Ketan. If I flash back Notecore v13, is it necessary to upgrade SuperSU from Google Play? Or just leave it as existing version pre-installed with Notecore kernel? Which is advisable?

If you are having full root, no need to update

Thanks for recommendation. Mostly I update by OTA. As I saw firmware update available in my region from Sammobile, hence I click OTA but not found. Then I try using Kies but it shows that msg.
So, I wonder why Kies can't upgrade since there is no issue for the past.
P/S : My friend told me he got update from OTA (not rooted his phone with Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM)

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have a S5830L which I've downloaded the Samsung Unbranded Stock ROM GB 2.3.6 for this phone.
The problem is that when I put it on Download mode ODIN detects it BUT when I click on start it stops on "SetupConnection" and after 10 min it shows fail.
The phone is running fine, but It has the carriers ROM and with version 2.3.4, with CWM
How can I flash it via ODIN or another method?
I cannot figure out...
Thanks!
There's a thing called mobile Odin. Not sure if it works for your device but you can use the search option here to find out more...
