[Q] Problems while downgrading CM10.1 to Stock Gingerbread

Hello,
I want to downgrade my phone from CM10.1 on an original Gingerbread ROM. First I have flashed a 2.3.4 version of DarkyRom. Now I want to have a stock firmware for my Galaxy.
All files that I could find were damaged. (Unpacked with 7ZIP and WinRAR). Then I found a T-Mobile branded version 2.3.6, but I hung permanently fixed in Bootloop.
What version can you recommend me and can you give me a three-part firmware?
Thank you very much
greeting
Julian

Hey,
Just checking, did you flash in a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar? That fille is essential when downgrading from CM9/CM10/10.1 because of different data partitions and so on. If you don't flash it in the phone ends up in a bootloop...
Try flash in dbsdata.rfs.tar (you can get it from so many places) then flash it in via Odin, then report back
Hope I helped

Nope due to partition format and layout changes. No new ROM uses the Samsung format or layout

[Q] noob questions....help needed..please

First of all i'm new to this forum...i ordered Samsung Galaxy S Advance in flipkart..and it will be arriving by today...I'm making sure that i do not HARDBRICK it within a few hours after buying.. so please help me..any help would be appreciated....
All i want to know is that
#1 The phone will be arriving with a stock indian gingerbread firmware..Can i flash any country's jellybean firmware onto this stock firmware via Odin 3.07..??
#2 If 'YES' what firmware would be most useful??...( what about the official indian JB FW DDULP8??..because i have already downloaded it )
#3 Does 8GB and 16GB FW differ??
#4 If i flash the indian JB FW .. will i be able to install any JB ROM ( like JetMod,JellyMod ) in that firmware or are ROMs firmware dependent??
#5 The same goes for Kernels...Are they FW dependent or i can just install any JB kernel ( like cocore 6.0 and thunderzap , etc ) on any JB FW..??
This is the Final noob question..
#6 I know that the Binary count reset method by Shaan work on any JB FW...but specifically will it work for the indian official JB FW DDULP8..??

Yes, you can flash INU fw using odin and it doesnt matter ur phone is 8/16gb.
Roms are dependent but they work on different fw's so, dont worry. Just make a nandroid backup from recovery and flash, if by chance u get a bootloop (stuck at logo) you can restore. :thumbup: and kernels are not dependent. Cocore6 works great with Indian fw. And binary wont increase on flashing with cwm/twrp.

Easiest and safest way is flashing through recovery..
There are very less chances of hard brick..Just follow the steps and you should be good.
There are no workarounds for a hard brick.. except jtag repair.. which is usually done in the service centre..

Make sure you know if you have a GT-I9070 or GT-I9070P. You can easily brick your phone putting firmware for on on the other.
try samsung kies update or OTA first.. this way you can experience kies or over the air update..
if its not available, you can do Odin update..
make sure you have atleast 50-80% battery charged..

Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares,
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
Once installed, go to recoverymod and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

How To Downgrade to GB 2.3.7?

Hi guys I'm running CM11, ICS 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Ace, GT-S5660D and want to downgrade to the original OS the phone came with, I believe it was GB 2.3.6 or 2.3.7. My phone is rooted but I have no idea how to bring it back to the original Android version. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the quick response!
I'm not sure what odin is and I don't think I used it when I flashed CM11 onto my Ace.

Thanks this looks promising. But when looking at this site http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...laxy-ace-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 there's no Canada under S5830, only European countries. Should I download the Canadian firmware under S5830D?

Before you install anything, is your phone GT-5660D or GT-5830? Make sure to download the original firmware for your device. Installing any firmware meant for another device on your phone can, in the worst case, hard-brick your device. As for the firmwares, you can download the one that is near to your region. In fact, any regional firmware for a particular phone will work on it. You can also find all the Samsung Galaxy Ace firmwares in the following link,
