[Q] stock rom

hi all great forum have a little problem came from criskleo rom v7 and went back to stock rom all fine but when i run kies it wont show my firmware or let me update when i checked i need a multirom xeu when i restore its says multi csc not found can anybody point me in the right direction to a stock gingerbread multi rom with pit and csc file cheers sim_b_uk:good:

You need to find one that matches your original csc... I imagine if you're in uk you'll need an xeu code. There's an lc1 version by car phone warehouse which I think is the latest stock gb for uk with multi csc listed in dr.ketans sticky tyread for stock roms.

[Q] 4.1.2 to 2.3.6

I'm having the lock screen issues when i updated my friend's SGA2 to 4.1.2. Can i go back to stock GB? If so, how? And can someone provide me links on where i can download the stock GB? Thank you! I need this asap All i know is the method from Odin.

1. Download this Russian firmware (It's full-package firmware)
2. Flash the firmware via ODIN.
3. Download your own firmware from HERE
4. Flash your own firmware via ODIN again.
You have to flash the Russian firmware first, or you device will be bootloop.
THANKS

[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..
