[TUTORIAL] How to downgrade from CM10.1 to Stock ICS - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hello xda,
we all love the new CM10.1 Rom By developer C-o-M but some people's want to downgrade to stock ICS but they don't know how.
I am going to explain that to you today!
Required:
Galaxy Tab 8.9 (3G or Wifi version)
Odin 1.85 from: http://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&rct=j...=mgmH8Xgt2RJCW8PhO54n9w&bvm=bv.46471029,d.d2k
Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.7 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060530
Clockworkmod recovery 5.5.0.4.tar from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312218
stock rom from: www.sammobile.com
Step 1)
Reboot your device into download mode by powering it off and holding down the power and volume down buttons and choose download mode.
Step 2)
Fire up odin and choose by PDA field the Rom
It should look like this: P7310XXLPV_P7310OXXLP5_HOME.tar
XXLPV stands for a firmware code this can be diffrent with your firmware you downloaded that is ok!
Step 3)
Hit start and wait until the progress is done!
Step 4)
after the whole progress is done you will notice that your tablet will end up in a endless bootloop this is normal
Step 5)
Hold down the power button and volume down button until you get the same screen from step 1 and choose download mode
Step 6)
Now you need to choose in the PDA field for ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar and hit Start wait until this is done!
Step 7)
What you did is you flashed the CWM Recovery now it will again end up in a endless bootloop hold down the power and volume down key until you get the same screen from step 1 and step 5 now choose not download mode but the other icon.
Step 8)
Now you are in clockworkmod recovery what you need to do now is wipe data/factory reset wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache Reboot!
Step 9)
wait until your tablet is booted up and walk trough the setup progress.
Step 10)
When the setup progress is done you need to copy Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.7 to your tablet and boot into recovery mode.
Step 11)
Now choose install zip from sdcard--->choose zip from sdcard and choose the cwm 6.0.2.7 and wait until the installation is done.
Step 12)
when the installation is done go to the advanced tab and choose reboot recovery!
Step 13)
When the recovery is rebooted go to the mounts and storage tab and choose format /sd card (REMEMBER ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE LOOSED)
Step 14)
When that is done reboot your tablet and everything will be fine!
Step 15)
Enjoy your ICS !

This is the long way to do it. Short way with ADB is described in C-o-m's 10.1 thread.

[Q] Clean fresh Install OS - Required

Hi..
I was trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device to Android 4.0.4.
i just installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on my device by rebooting and selecting (install zip from sd card).
------using mentioned combination of keys -------
Then i placed the files in my phone's internal SD Card.
files are mentioned below:
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
then install 1 by choosing from internal SD card and then 2nd file.
my device prompted completion success messages but it took very short time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now what happened after doing this. my device is displaying same booting screen of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 on each re-boot.
i treid many times by unplug the battrey but unfortunately unsuccessfull.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried it through window's based utility Odin v4.43 but it could detect my device usb driver even after success of USB driver installation.
it didn't display Added in message box.
now what should i do ?
i already installed samsung Kies but still undetected.
I tried some old version of Odin 3v1.8 , it detected the port and displayed Added but failed to write ROM on my device.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My desktop machine's OS : windows 8 64 bit enterprise edition.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am unable to install new ofor revert back my OS because when i Hold Vol Down + Home + Power, This is not putting me in Download Mode instead Ramdump Mode.
I need your guidence to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.
Please ask for further details if required.
I'm not sure I got exactly what you did.
1) You installed CWM recovery.
2) You rebooted into recovery.
3) You installed the CM ROM zip.
4) You installed the GApps zip.
5) You rebooted.
Am I right ? And now you only get access to the recovery ?
If you're coming from a GingerBread ROM, this is normal. Simply, re-install the ROM again (and the GApps obviously). If it doesn't work, tell us.

Hi Einril.
I try to summarize in some chunks for better understanding.
=======================================================================================
Hi.
I just started with CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 and placed all above mentioned files/packages into the device internal SD card.
That's what i did :
1). Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
2). After reboot, i came up again in Recovery mode using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 application.
3). Now installed cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It took hardly 4 to 5 seconds and displayed a message that it completes . no flash screen or anything came up and reboot.
4). After that installed gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip by the navigation of "Install zip from SD".
It displayed same complete message but within 5 to 8 seconds i think.
5). I Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache after above step and then again repeat the process.
After that i did Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Now when i try to start my device then each time it comes into the CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4' s recovery mode.
Ask further please if anything is unclear, i have tried too many things with it but yet not soft bricked.
I am able to switch into Download mode.
Did you try to re-install the ROM from the recovery ? (flash cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip again)

Hi Erinil,
I think i installed but not sure.
Could you elaborate the re-install ROM steps ?
I tried but same recovery display of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4, comes again and stay on recovery mode screen.
How my OS will be started?
It might be possible , i am doing something wrong.
Could you enlist the steps?
Ok.
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
This, I think, is the cleanest install you can do. Tell me the result.

Einril I tried it same as you explained in steps.
It didn't worked nor display any error during this process.
I think my problem is that. when i start my device it automatically entered into the recovery mode of CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4..
whether i hold Vol+ and Powerbutton or not, it entered into the recovery mode each reboot.
It might be possible that OS has been installed sucessfull but how the OS will be started now?
Hum, that's strange. You say you can access to Download Mode ? Are you able to flash back the Samsung stock ROM ?
Hi Einril,
What does that mean? Means that Reverting to Gingerbread through Desktop Window OS?
I am unable to revert from my One Laptop (i7 3610 & WIndow 8 - 64 bit) but i am able to revert from my OLD laptop (OS is : window 7 32 bit)
Ok, I heard that some people are having issues with USB drivers on Windows 8. But if you can restore Gingerbread with your old computer, this is great.
Can you try to re-install a stock gingerbread firmware, with re-partition enabled, and then to try again the procedure I gave you ? This way, we are sure that your previous attempts have no effects on the result.
Einril, I have installed stock gingerbread firmware on my device and it is working now.
now guide please how to re-partition? Do you mean using CWM recovery ?
Could you simply enlist the thing which i will have to do now on fresh gingerbread OS?
I 'll tell you today night because right now i am not at home.
Well, if your gingerbread frmware is working, you don't need to repartition.
Now, simply re-install ClockworkMod Recovery, and re-do the whole installation process I gave you. By the way, you said you installed ClockworkMod recovery by flashing a zip in recovery. Isn't it supposed to be a .tar.md5 to flash via Odin ?
Yes i installed ClockworkMode Recovery from recovery mode.
I haven't tried with .tar.md5 using Odin4.43.
I 'll try with both throught Clockworkmode and Odin.
In fact i have tried many time 2-3 months ago too through TeamWin Recovery . problem was same.
It didn't start my OS instead displaying its recovery screen and operations.
i tried but all in vain.
Couldn;t be successful.
it just start from CWM recovery mode and so. not switching into the other mode.

[Q] Clear Install Android 4.0.4

Hi..
I want to clean install Android 4.0.4 OS on my Samsung galaxy s plus (GT-19001) device.
Clean install means that i 'll have to install OS from scratch. Does i need Micro USb Jig for this purpose?
I have below files.
1-> cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip
2-> gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
3-> recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-ariesve.zip
4> CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4
Guide me in simple steps , i tried many times to install ICS (Android 4.0.4) but unfortunately unsuccessfull each time.
Why it didn't work for me?
I have tried in many ways. Thanks in advancee
Hey,
Could you tell me what was unsuccessful about the install? Did it stop installing, did it bootloop, so on so forth?
But this is how I flashed CM9 onto my I9000, and I know that the I9001 is very similar so...
1.) You've got CWM, sweet. Boot into recovery. Make a bckup of your data through the option provided.
2.) Wipe data/cache/Dalvik cache. The first two are pretty simple to do, the last one is under "Advanced" settings.
3.) Now that you've got that, select "Install zip from SD". Navigate to where your CM9 file is. Select and confirm. Wait for it to flash in...
4.) At this point you might get a recovery bootloop. Don't panic here- just take out the battery, reinsert. Reboot into recovery. You should see that your recovery has been updated.
5.) Reselect the rom from the "Install zip from SD" option. This time it should start flashing in. Wait for it to finish, then it should reboot normally. Be patient as it boots up for the first time.
6.) Once you've done so, reboot into recovery again but this time select the gapps zip.
Unless the I9001 is different in a major way in terms of installing, that should work. I'm not quite sure...
Hope I helped

Perfectly simple guide! Thanks.:good:
The only thing I want to ask - what is the backup you have mentioned in point 1)? Is it back up of your personal data, or is it back up of your current ROM?
Hey man, glad I made it simple
Yeah, its a backup of your whole rom I believe- system apps, system files, all your downloaded apps all your data, so on so forth.
Helps you get back to what you were running before in case something goes wrong during installation.

Hmmm... Okay, I see...
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4? Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
Again, hope I helped

hi .
i am trying to give answer in point:
What recovery did you start with before flashing CWM 5.5.0.4?
-> yes i t was exactly CWM 5.5.0.4.
Because I think what happens is that in whatever recovery you start with, you start by flashing in the CM9 file directly, instead of flashing a different CWM version in first.
-> Could you elaborate the above sentence please? As long as i understood I initially installed CWM recovery through recovery mode by holding +Vol + Power+ Home.
So a good place to start would be back at 2.3.6 (don't know the firmware for the I9001). That can be done through download mode and Odin (If you need help with that feel free to ask). Then root again, get recovery back.
-> Yes i have been reverted through Odin Stock Gingerbread. How to root again? Could you please enlist in points?
Flashing in the CM9 file the first time actually doesn't take long- maybe 5-10 seconds as you said, before bootlooping. What that bootloop does is it actually sets up a newer recovery, so that you can properly flash CM9 in.
-> I don't think it's a bootlooping situation. When i start my device , It dispays CWM recovery screen each time even after the sucessull completion of CM9 and gapps,
Once you flash in the CM9 file the first time, try flash it in a second time. If it takes 4-5 seconds again then you have a problem, otherwise it should take a little bit for the file to install.
It will reboot; like I said in my little guide, just turn off, reboot into recovery and flash in Gapps, then let it boot.
-> I tried it many time right now and 2-3 months ago too but it took almost 20 - 30 seconds in first attempt.
Also, I don't think you need to wipe everything after the CM9 zip finishes. I didn't need to, and it worked fine...
-> I tried through Wipe and with it but could start my OS. Instead it display everytime a CWM screen.
=================================================================================================
In last , i did below steps :
1) Boot into recovery.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot.
Go into the cm10 thread by ivendor in developement section and in the middle of the 1st post is a download link for cwm 6.0.1.9. Flash it in recovery and reboot. The Problem should be gone.
Had the same issue.
Hope i helped
Hi Markey.
Do you mean that I 'll have to get CM10 and CWM 6.0.1.9 and then installed with same approach as i aforesaid?
Elaborate please if i misunderstood. Thanks

No i meant that you can install everything like in your guide and after that you install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot, then you should be in recovery and then you have to reboot your phone and it should start normally
This solved it for me
Hope i helped
That's what I understood now:
0.5) Entered into the recovery mode menu by holding down Volume Up + Power and installed CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 zip from the selection of Internal SD Card .
1) Boot into CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 Recovery mode.
2) Wipe data/Factory reset.
3) Wipe cache.
4) Go to Advanced, then wipe Dalvik cache.
5) Go back, go to Mount & Storage, then Format System.
6) Go back, go to Install zip from SD Card => Choose zip from SD Card => cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip.
7) Do the same thing for the gapps zip.
8) Wipe data/Factory reset again (just to be sure).
9) Reboot
10) Then install the cwm 6.0.1.9 and reboot.
It could be solution, i will try and 'll tell at today night (after 6 hours).
It should be the right way but you can skip step 5 and 9

Dear Markey,
Whyn't should i start from cwm 6.0.1.9 rather than CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 .
Should i require to check from it or not? cwm 6.0.1.9 support cm-9-20121011-ivendor-ariesve-rc5.zip ?

I don't know if cwm 6.0.1.9 supports cm9 but it should.
You could try it out and tell me back
when i go in advance and select wipe dalvik cache option.
it display an error:
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Dalvik Cache wiped.
After completion of each step, i tried again but still not start OS.

Got the same error, i think its normal
Ok, then flash this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=861538&d=1326841043 in recovery, reboot and tell me back if it works
Or you could try this way if the other isn't working: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=928219&d=1330695090 its the stock recovery, flash it in recovery and reboot and tell me back. I think you should first try stock recovery and then the other file. Sry for the wrong order
Hope it will work again
hi markey.
how to flash these files? i didn't understand the flashing word.
Got an error from mentioned recoveries.

I mean that you have to install them via recovery with install update from sd card or with install zip from sd card -> its called flashing
And i meant that you have to install the first file first and reboot and if its not working when you reboot then install the stock recovery and then the problem should be solved. But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
Hope i could help
Markey,
I did the same as you are saying and got the above error on each file.
Could you explain the below linw please ?
But then you have to flash the cwm recovery everytime you want to flash something like a new kernel or a custom rom
What i 'll have to do now?

Which recovery do you use?
Cwm or stock recovery?
If you use stock then you have to reboot without installing one of the files and the problem should be solved
I meant that if you want to install another kernel or custom Rom you have to install the cwm recovery because its better then stock and after installation of the Rom or kernel you have to reinstall the stock recovery

hello I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000 Orange firmware version 2.2.1 and kernel version 2.6.32.9 root @ DELL104 version number # 1 FROYO.BVJS4 I want it to version 2.3.6 and after version 10 cynogenMod .
the question that I must étépe by step.
thank you for your assistance.
Excuse my English I used google translate
Morning,
So. Breaking this up into three stages.
Installing 2.3.6
1.) From Sammobile.com, download a 2.3.6 firmware of any region. Many people use XXJW4 (UK). Also download Odin unless you already have it.
2.) Place this firmware somewhere in your computer. Start up Odin.
3.) Turn your phone off. Once it has shut down, hold down the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons. You should see a "Downloading!" with a yellow android. This is download mode.
4.) Connect the phone to the computer using a USB. On Odin, one of the boxes should turn yellow saying "ID:COM".
5.) Click on PDA, then find the firmware you downloaded. DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS.
6.) Wait for it to start flashing.
Once you have 2.3.6, you need to root it...
1.) From the I9000 development forums there is a thread called "CF-Root". Search until you find the file with a JW4 in the name. (Will post links later)
Or you can just google "How to root 2.3.6 XXJW4" and it will take you there.
2.) Oece you have downloaded the zip file, unzip it. You should find a .tar file inside.
3.) Start up Odin and get into download mode. Connect the phone by USB.
4.) Just like before, click on PDA, find the CF-Root .tar, click on it. Again, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
5.) Wait for it to flash in. Your phone is now rooted
After that comes installing CyanogenMod...
1.) Backup whatever data you want (SMS, contacts, etc)
2.) From these development forums download BOTH CM9 and CM10. Also download JB gapps (Google Apps, links will be posted later). There is a good reason for this. Put all of these files on your phone, in your internal storage (not a microsd).
3.) This time, turn the phone off and hold down Volume Up, Home and Power buttons. You'll see your recovery mode.
4.) Using the volume buttons to move up and down, scroll down until you see "Wipe data". Select yes. This will erase everything! Do the same for "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" under "Advanced Settings".
5.) Once they have all finished, select "Install zip from sdcard". Scroll until you see the CM9 zip. Install this first.
6.) It might start installing but then stop halfway, and then your phone will bootloop. DON'T PANIC. Your phone hasn't been bricked Just take the battery out, put it back in and boot into recovery mode lke before again. You'll see recovery has changed.
7.) Go to 'install zip from sdcard' again. Find the CM9 zip and install that AGAIN. Select Yes. Wait for it to finish.
8.) Once it has finished, let it boot for the first time. Once it gets to the homescreen, turn the phone off.
9.) Put it back in recovery... Again. Go 'install zip from sdcard'. Scroll down and this time install the CM10 zip. Select Yes and wait for it to finish.
10.) Once it has finished, select 'install zip from sdcard' again and this time find your JB Gapps zip. Wait for that to flash in.
Done! you've upgraded to 2.3.6, rooted and installed CM10.

I can't get it back to stock ROM

I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II and I tried to get my phone back to stock ROM following this directions:
"1. Connect your device to your PC and copy uvlg3.flash2stock.zip to your internal SD.
2. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. To do this,
i. Power down your devi ce.
ii. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons until you see the Samsung logo appear.
iii. Release both buttons.
iv. Press the left bottom Menu capacitive button when you see the Recovery logo (white box with the android icon).
3. On the next screen, select apply update from sdcard using the Volume Up and Down buttons to navigate and the Home button to select.
4. Highlight uvlg3.flash2stock.zip on the next screen and press the Home button to select it.
5. Go back to previous menu and select reboot system now to restart your device."
It all seemed to work fine but in step 4, when i applied the update from sd card it appears in yellow:
E: short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip(no space left on device)
Installation aborted.
As you can figure, im desperated!! so please if someone could help!!!

You missed the wiping part. Do a factory reset/wipe Rom ... I forget what it's called in CWM... Then flash the Rom

I did all that, the CWM doesnt appear now, im in the android system recovery <3e> and my options are the foollowing:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sd card(here is the stock rom but when i apply it it doesnt work because of "insuficent space"
-wipe data/factory reset(did that already)
-wipe cache partition(did that already)
-install fota(dont know what it is but i did it anyway).
Thanks for the reply
aditional info
when i reboot my phone and press down the volume i appear in odin mode, it gives me 2 choices: reboot or download mode, if i enter the download mode it appears:
ODIN HOME
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T679
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT KERNEL: UNKNOWN
(ANDROID ICON)
dOWNLOAdING...
Do not turn off target!
There is an alternative way to enter recovery, just pull your battery, hook up the usb cable (ummm phone to pc), press and hold the volume up button then drop in the battery. When you see recovery start let go of the volume button.
You can mount your computer through cwm or twrp recovery an move the stock rom from your pc to your external sd. Do full wipes before flashing (any ROM in my opinion)
Sounds like you need to put the .zip on ext_sd, then wipe your internal sd, or manually delete all of the files. Something is eating all of the space. You might want to put the custom recovery back on it, CWM or TWRP, then wipe it all and reflash the zip, then reboot.

Galaxy Note 1 stuck in "logo_q1.jpg draw failed"

So I wanted to update my android to lolipop (5.1) and followed the instruction below :--
-Connect your Galaxy Note to your PC using USB cable and copy the downloaded files to the SD card of your Galaxy device.
-Disconnect your Samsung Note N7000 and power it off.
-Now boot it in to the CMW recovery mode: press and hold Volume Up, Home and the Power buttons simultaneously. Use Volume keys to highlight and Power button to select.
-Nandroid backup: select Backup and Restore option to perform the Nandroid backup of your current OS.
-Data wipe operations: go to wipe data/factory reset and confirm the operation. Also wipe cache partition and finally go for wipe dalvik cache to clean it up too.
-Now, select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from Sdcard. Locate the NightOwl Android 5.1 Lollipop file and confirm its installation.
-When the ROM installation completes successfully, repeat the above step for installing the GApps package.
-Once done, go back to main recovery menu and select reboot system now.
-Wait until your device boots in to the very new Android!
But when i tried to install it, it says installation failed and my battery case was opened and my battery dropped. When i restart my phone it says, logo_q1.jpg draw failed. Is there anyway to fix this? I even tried to boot it in CWM mode but it didn't work, "logo_q1.jpg draw failed" is still there
