[GUIDE] Revert from a 2.3 rom back to 2.2 with cwm

ever wanted to flash back to froyo but didnt want to use the almighty odin? well here is a simple solution that should let u install froyo on a gb build without any errors
1.open the 2.2 rom you want to flash on the file explorer on your computer then click into the META-INF folder then com, google, android, and u will see the file updater script, delete that file (if u have problems getting that to delete use a program like winrar)
2.put the updater script u downloaded in replace of the old one (if winrar or any other program made u unzip the file and didnt zip it back up automaticlly make sure its done then place the file back to your phone and flash away
dont forget about the thanks button

This is helpful, but you have to know why first. The difference is the difference in the install scripts. In CWM versions before CWM3, we used amend scripting. Amend scripting is no longer supported in CWM3 and above, it now uses edify scripting.
Kernels that contain recovery prior to CWM3, you can flash the old scripts just fine. For example, cmenards latest JVQ based kernel supports both amend and edify scripting, and is based off CWM 2.5.x.x.
Its all in knowing what you are running, and what's compatible.
I wont get too preachy on this, but Odin is your friend, nothing to be scared or wary of, and with regular use to actually set you back to stock, will create a much better running environment for your Vibrant experience. Shortcuts around it will eventually cause all kinds of issues.

Wondering
Has this worked for anyone?

The OP missed some key points in this "guide".
If your zip file is using is using the old amend scripting, then there will be one file called update-script (not updater).
The newer scripts, edify scripting, uses two files, update-binary and updater-script, and you need both files if your kernel or recovery method is cwm3 or later, edify scripting only.
Or you could save a dev a future headache, and just use Odin.

You're talking about his last deadhorse kernel. That one, if memory serves me, even has a pre-kernel flash that you did through sgs kernel flasher, then the rom and full kernel. Coming from that one friend, I do believe Odin is your only option.

[Q] Help plz!!

A friend tried messin around with his tab when he doesnt even know how to jailbreak an iphone 3g... The tab wouldnt even boot past the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, but it was able to get to download mode... I used a guide to update it to gingerbread using odin, and everything went well! I opened odin, selected PIT and chose the P1_add_hidden.pit file, then i selected PDA and chose the P1000NVFJP6_P1000NUBJP3_P1000NUUBJPB_HOME.tar.md5 file, and i made sure i checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time, Phone EFS Clear and Phone Bootloader Update.. everything went well, but on recovery it was unable to update the systemfile.. but everything else on recovery updated and installed fine! as it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootanimation in the part it says Samsung glowing.. did i do something wrong? how can i fix this? I am still able to get to recovery and download mode fine..

Please use common sense and use descriptive titles, ie a short title that describes your topic for people browsing the forum. "help plz" does not describe your topic in absolutely any way other then somebody using a completely generic title.

Cwm comes with a kernel.
Why do you need to it, may I ask?
You can use cwm4, then when you flash, say cm10, you get cwm6 anyway.
So what is the goal you have in mind?

whats going on youre the one who always helps me and im very thankful for that. sorry for the crazy questions i havent been on this fourm since i got my gs2 way back when. and now i put everything into my lg optiums g. i just wanna get to the most stable build of cm9 or 10. i have energy rom right now and cwm4. just came from sock. from what i read and i could be mistaking cuz i feel like i read endless thread containing different info that i need ext4 witch i have the zip and cwm5. i try and flash cm10 cuz i know the recovery lays in the zimage but it gives me a status 7 and aborted.

Maybe people expect me to reply first.
Haha.
Well, cm install takes care of the ext4.
Yes the assert error is known.
You need to edit the updater script to remove the line.
But make sure you download cm for p1c and not other.

Hello guys, I've been stuck with this for a couple of hours now, I try to install cynanogenmod in my GT-P1000 follow the guide as usual everything was normal but when it came time to use the device it's not taking any input not on the touch screen nor in the physical buttons.
Can someone give me a hint on how to repair this? I've been looking at similar thread but the recomend downgrading the firmware if someone can point me out how to do it it would be a big Help!!
Thanks

Maybe you flash P1000 rom on a P1000L or N
Or the other way round.

I try to use the P1000N but it was rejecting, I don't want to try it with CDMA because AFAIK it can turn my phone into a brick. So Yes I beleive I have the P1000 l(GSM). Any other advice

The L and the normal P1000 differs exactly that. The touch screen.
Just flash a L or N rom again.

You can remove the assert line if you are sure that is your model.
Search this forum.
For example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31519426&postcount=186
A bit of note. If you are using windows, it doesn't understand the case sensitive file names within the zip. So don't try to unzip, edit, rezip. That will break the zip.
One way is to use 7zip, drag out the updater script. Edit it, then drag back in.

When you fail to install, what is the new error.

Use 7zip to open the zip. Literally use the mouse to drag the updater script out to desktop. Edit as per Alroger's post.
Save.
Then while still having the 7zip opening the zip, drag back the updater script into the Rom.
Btw, make sure you have the original zip.
The one you have molested earlier is bad already.

Use the guide from here by nirogu325 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
It has all that you need. And when in recovery, it's not necessarily 'apply update from SD card'. Just choose the zip file that you have to flash to gain root. I suggest that you use TWRP recovery on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602188

Thanks for your help, I will try the instructions although they look a bit complicated for a near novice like me. My problem with the zip file is that when I am in recovery mode I cannot select any path leading to the SD Card root folder where the zip has been uploaded. It drives me nuts, it seems to work for everyone else but me!

The original gingerbread recovery had an option to flash zips. The ICS recovery did not. Rooting was way easier on GB because of this. The only way to root ICS is to install a custom recovery to flash a root.zip file.

Well yeah I didn't mention that you should do a full wipe first because I thought you already knew that
anyway, hopefully messing up with your tab won't be necessary, cuz stock ICS is the best, personally I use this tweaked one:

It is the best!!!:victory:
