I am running stock gingerbread 2.3.5 on the Corn kernel 7.06. I have been rooted with out problems since October of last year and Thursday night it started turning on and off on its own. Friday afternoon it stopped doing that long enough for me to see what was going on with my phone and it had done a factory reset and I had lost root then it frozed and then started turning on and off again later that night I was able to regain root. That is the back story my question now is if I flashed it back to stock and then reset it would that fix it?
Oh and the battery was fully charged when it first started this whole thing. And how do I completely wipe everything off the phone and just have a blank slate?
Here is Stock I897UCKK4 Android 2.3.5 One Clicks *Heimdall and Odin*. Use one without the bootloaders, since u already have them because u have been running GB 2.3.5 firmware. These one clicks are full wipes. They will wipe data, dbdata and cache. They will not wipe anything saved on the phones internal sd (sometimes referred to as "usb storage"). You can do that through the settings of the phone if u want. Afterwards u can use Odin to flash the KK4 Corn Kernel of ur choice.
Not sure what caused ur problems. A guess would be a rogue app...just a thought though. U would know better, depending on the last things u were doin on ur phone.

The Corn kernel has a modified CWM recovery that had tweak options in it that I was going thru them to see which ones gave my phone better performance and I think it might have been that. I also had changed to ext4 will I need to change back to efs(?) Before I go back to stock? Also if I go to a JB or ICS ROM I need to get a compatible kernel correct?
No need to change from ext4 back to rfs. Just use the Stock KK4 one click, then Odin the KK4 Corn Kernel, then flash ur rom of choice. U will have to flash the jellybean or ics rom twice because of the different partitions that jb and ics have compared to stock (MTD vs BML). Then flash the appropriate gapps. Reboot. Be sure to follow the install instructions of the jb or ics rom u r gonna flash.
Note that if u want to return to a GB based firmware or GB Rom you will have to use either Odin or Heimdall to return to GB, then proceed from there. Because of the different partitions from JB/ICS and Stock GB, you cannot simply flash back to a gb rom from a jb or ics rom.

Ok, so for the last few days I've been wanting to downgrade back to gingerbread from an ICS ROM. I ran into a few problems with the phone booting into recovery every time and then giving me errors about being unable to mount certain paths.
So I flashed CM7 which worked fine, but in the end I wanted to flash back to a stock rom.
Just a quick tip for those that would like to go back to a stock ROM but are getting these errors: flash a stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 from Download mode and when it attempts to reboot, force it back into Download mode again and re-flash the same rom once again.
This fixed my issues so I thought I'd share it
why would you go back to stock rom i heard its slow etc
Pretty sure that's bad advice. You should flash back to gingerbread through ODIN (pit and repartition) because the file systems and partitions are completely different in CM.
I.e. Flash stock GB (odin + repartition), boot, flash kernel (odin) then flash custom ROM (in CWM)
Yeah your supposed to flash back to GB using odin not the recovery.

im going back to gingerbread becouse viber dont work on dark knight 2.1 any solusions?
Ahh my mistake, I realise now that I wrote recovery instead of "download". But the gist of the post is to use download mode to flash the original firmware twice (If you followed the link, you would see instructions to flash via Odin).
I think any ggb base rom viber is working. Flashing back to stock rom just for viber is a bit too much. There is lots of nice and fast ggb base custom rom around

This worked for me.. thankyou!
I reverted back to Gingerbread because of the battery drain from playing mp3's on ICS. Have tried OneCosmic's and TeamHacksung's with several different kernels and none spared my battery.
Everything was on default for the testing phase and my battery was empty after 4 hours of playing mp3's.. yeah, I travel long distances in the train for work.
So unfortunately back to Gingerbread but my battery life is back to normal
Since last viber update it is working on 4.0.3

When you flash the stock rom the abyss kernel will go. It will get replaced by stock kernel through the stock rom.
Use PC odin and direct flash.
U can use Mobile Odin too!

Mobile Odin Pro? Nandroid backup restores?
Hi, is this true that I can just use Mobile Odin Pro and flash a stock GB ROM (with or without everoot, doesn't matter?) and the GB ROM will be flashed perfectly?
I know using PC Odin, stock GB ROM will do the trick, and then zergrush to root it, but Mobile Odin Pro is easier and more mobile (not needing a PC to do this). I just want to know 100% for sure, before I do the Mobile Odin Pro route.
Otherwise...is it wise to just Nandroid my GB backup coming from my current CM9 ROM? Or will that cause more problems? The same goes with nandroid CM9 backup to coming from my future GB ROM. This I would imagine that it would cause some problems but I'm not sure why or how. I'm still trying to search for this answer. In the meantime, of course I would not be lazy and just flash a wiped version of CM9 and GB ROM every time I want to flip flop back and forth against each other.
I don't want to do any of the above steps without finding out some hard answers first.
Mobile Odin Pro flash from CM9 to GB Stock ROM
Nandroid GB Backup coming from CM9 ROM
Nadroid CM9 ROM coming from GB ROM
From what I've read, these are safe to do:
From GB ROM to CM9, full wipe, flash via CWM
Updating CM9 Nightlies, just wipe cache only, no wipe needed
From CM9 to GB ROM, PC ODIN flash, then zergrush root.
Thanks for your help in advance.
So I am one of the "brave" souls who flashed ICS LPY via Mobile odin from Stock GB prerooted ROM. I flashed it together with cf 5.3 kernel. Its been 10 days now and i haven't had any problems but i was lucky that i haven't used CWR nor factory restore. So after reading all the warnings that LPY has a bug on eMMC i want to safely go back to Gingerbread.
Ive searched the forum and found a few methods (Mobile ODIN, PC ODIN, CWR) but i want to make sure that i don't get my device bricked (have no warranty). So my question is Should i choose Full Wipe or a non wipe option while getting back to GB? Or maybe wait a little longer and just try not to stress the I/O till the issue gets resolved?

Sorry no ideal. But based to the info and the detail you given. The emmc damaged should not exists at your devices. Since you never use the cf-lpy cwm. I'm not the pro..but my opinion could be the common answer.

If you feel panic with the bricked problem might appear while flashing back to gb. Please don't try ..it was horrible...your heartbeat sure will keep increase fast and faster...believe me..I hv tried twice....
If you feel comfort with the current ics and without any major bug, just keep using it and enjoy while the dev looking for the solution and waiting for kernel sources code realease.
Just keep in mind DUN USE THE CWM.
OR YOU CAN USE TITANIUM BACKUP AND FREEZE THE CWM FOR ANY ACCIDENTALY WRONG PRESS.

Help please. This is the history of my flashing btw...
I had a rooted Gingerbread with CF root kernel KKA. When ICS came out i rushed and Flashed a cf root lpy zimage (kernel only) via Recovery ( i know it was stupid.. ) So i got stuck and i could only come up to CWM. I used the CWM to BACK UP MY DATA (this was before i even flashed the ICS rom). From there i used PC odin to flash kka gingerbread rom. Flashed it without problem. Then i flashed ICS LPY rom together with LPY kernel via Mobile Odin and i clicked wipe data. Everything went well. I haven't used CWM. Now i am affraid that i could have bad EMMC. Should i stay on ICS or should i flash stock GB rom again?

I had answered your question thru email. Stick with your current ICS rom will be the best option and choices. Since I do believe no one at the forum able to give you 100% accurately exactly what happen with your emmc. Just enjoy your ics.
Please don't simply flash any gb rooted kernel so that able use the cwm again and go back to gb. Please read the instruction carefully.
PERSONNAL OPINION: I'm always prefer flash stock or pre rooted gb rom thru pc odin beside flash axxx4.2kernel to perform full wipe.
Good luck bro..

Well according to the devs here you should be good. But noone can guarantee you are 100%. I decided to wait till the issue gets resolved even though i haven't used recovery at all. I am taking my chances on ICS. But again staying on ICS isn't safe either I am quoting CHainfire here..
"Originally Posted by Chainfire
Ok so it still isn't really clear if the problem is still present in LPY, or if the issue is "left-over" due to previous ROMs.
It's all possible. Either way, what I wan't to make absolutely clear again:
If the problem is present in CF-Root LPY (and it's not a "leftover" problem from previous ROM - this is possibly the case), then it's also present in stock LPY. This means you *can* randomly brick your phone even if fully booted into Android, under heavy I/O load.
(on the Note there normal and recovery kernels are the same, and CWM is just a userspace program, nothing special(!) - so if the problem can happen in CWM, it can happen in Android)"
So whichever choice you make... good luck.

Yup, is true. Beside you need to stay away from cwm, you should be aware when doing the large file transfer.
Stick with Lpy, do not touch cwm at all, try to avoid do any large files transfer.
Relax bro...u should be fine...just follow what the instruction given by the dev. Since no one really know exactly what happen.

I started out trying to go from some 2.x rom (May have been Serendipity) to the CM10 v4 (JB), which worked fine. I stayed on the v4 for a few days, then v6 came out and I tried to update to that. I got Status 7 errors no matter what I did (redownloaded rom several times, did everything I could think of and everything suggested in other threads), so I gave up on that and decided to just go back to GB. All stock roms I've flashed through Odin have worked just fine.
So, I flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders using Odin, but the recovery on that version doesn't let me switch over to CWM for some reason, so I use Odin to go back to UCJF6 (stock Eclair 2.1) without bootloaders and use the recovery there to switch to CWM. Now I'm in CWM and trying to flash KK4 Legend 5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391192), and it all goes fine. I reboot and get the Corn Kernel loading screen, the loading bar fills... and then it freezes on that screen.
I then flash back to stocks using the same process and flash the MPD version of KK4 Legend 5, same problem. I also tried flashing Corn Kernel 7.0A, rather than 7.06 which comes with the rom. Some people said that helped, but it didn't.
Okay, I'll just use a different rom. I figured since I was using Serendipity before, I'll try that. I download 6.4, and flash back to stock UCJF6, like the instructions say to, then install Serendipity through CWM. It "boots" to a black screen with the bottom four buttons lit up.
Am I doing something wrong that is causing these roms to fail?
Edit: I am now using Odin to flash UCKJ3 (stock GB 2.3.5) with bootloaders, then using Odin to flash the kernel with CWM. When I install KK4 Legend 5 from that CWM, it bootloops when the loading bar gets to the middle.
Perplexing.
That kj3 Odin package must not be Re-partitioning...
Try using one of the i897ucKK4 One Clicks in my post here... Stock i897ucKK4, Odin or Heimdall, Full Wipe, Re-partition, with or without GB Bootloaders .
This should get u takin care of. No need to flash the ones with gb bootloaders if u already have them installed. Once u r on kk4, then Odin flash the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A and go from there to install Dev Rom.

From what I rember that kj3 package does not do a repartition. Its great if you don't need the repartition cause it has a cwm kernel baked in. But coming from an ICS ROM you will need the repartition found in the one click previously mentioned because ICS uses a different partition table.
Hi ok i wanna go back to gingerbread stock rom on my note i downloaded it from stock rom database here . Now i am on ice scream sandwich , phone updated it self and stupid me i clicked yes before reading on brick bug guess what i have it .

It's okay having ics with a safe kernel Hydracore or speedmod... But if you want gb just flash it via pc odin and once finished just wipe from stock recovery
