[Q] installing Gingerbread from stock 2.1

Hi team!
Im new to this, may i ask..
Am i able to go from stock 2.1 straight to 2.3.3 by following this guide....
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/
Or will i encounter problems? do i need to go to 2.2 first?
Has anyone got the skills to give me some answers? if so thanks!

I didn't look at that guide in particular, it's like when someone does your homework for you... but it is possible to go straight to 2.3.. If your worried just go to 2.2 first...
that is all

Yeah, sure! With Odin, you can goo from any version to any version back and forth - a lot of people even use stock 2.1 to get a clean install before flashing something new, so don't worry. Just use a stock JVO version with bootloaders (there should be "Sbl" in the name of the PDA file). I alway flash stock ROMs with pit file and checked repartition - just 1) get in Odin and mount PDA (with bootloaders), Phone and CSC,also mount the pit file and check repartition, 2) turn off you phone and after that get in Download mode (Volume up+menu button+Power button), 3) connect the phone to your pc and hit start button in odin

Do not forget to take out sim card and memory card before flashing

what have you tried to do to fix this already?

ICS Bad Idea!!!
I wouldnt recommned updating to ICS especially through kies i had my phone stuck at "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" for 2 days It was a disaster. So i came across a website called http://androidromupdate.com/2012/09...-firmware-upgrade-official-kiesota-stock-rom/
I then downloaded the the I927UCLH2 ICS 4.0.4 Original Stock ROM using ODIN... FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE NOT KIES!! BUT THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!
***After you have successfully completed the stock rom with ODIN***
Get a rom from http://forum.jakar.co/android-hack/1345758298/ Choose the ROM called Bio360 its almost the same Replica of Gingerbread its Version 2.3.5
VERY IMPORTANT!! Make sure you put the ZIP FILE (ROM) in your INTERNAL STORAGE NOT THE EXTERNAL!!! (SD CARD SLOT) BIG MISTAKE!!
Go to google and type in "CWM captivate glide new" click the first link beggining with www.theandroidsoul.com........ FOLLOW DIRECTIONS THROUGH THE SITE!
After you have downloaded the Rom (ZIP FILE) and CWM put your phone into Recovery mode by powering off the device. hold power button and the volume down button until you see clockwork recovery, from here you are going to look for install from sd card and look for the zip file/Rom Bio360 and you should be set!
*******THE Bio360 Rom is also Rooted so there is no need to do an extra step************
*** I HOPE THSI HELPS ANY PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO INBOX ME ANY QUESTIONS*** I WILL TRY MY BEST TO HELP......

Sorry guys wrong post this is for Samsung captivate glide! , my mistake..

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in Kies and try again
This is for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Sprint SPH-L900) Is the website for the stock rom
rwilco12.com
stock rom: [ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L900 MA7 (MA7 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock
Odin 3 v 1.85 (You Can Google and find it)
ok sweet so I have done this successfully. i really believe you should put this on ur first post so people dont have to do searching and can feel at ease.
1. Start ODIN 3v1.85
2. Enter Download Mode
a. Power the phone off.
b. Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
c. Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
d. While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable into your phone.
It may take a second or two for the screen to display with a warning. Press the Volume UP key to download a custom ROM.
3. In ODIN, click PDA and select the PDA.tar file you extracted
4. DO NOT check re-partition, Flash Lock, Phone EFS Clear, Phone bootloader update
5. CHECK Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time
6. Click Start
At the end of the process ODIN's first block will show up as YELLOW with the words PASS and your phone will reboot.
Unplug USB from your phone after first boot.
It worked for me perfectly you don't have to F.Reset

Perhaps you should try the Note 2 forums for a more informative response?

I have the same problem with my tmobile galaxy s ii, T989
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and whenever I start installing a stock room using Odin 1.85 it force close and the phone stays in the same page saying
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
Please help!

Tried everything I know and still not working
I tried two computers and everytime I start odin it forces stop
The screen is still in Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again
and I guess this is the download mode because I restarted it with volume up and down and pluged the usb and it turns to this screen
I downloaded odin again to make sure it runs ok and also tried it in my wifes phone and it runs with no problem
It is one of two cases, ether the phone is completely dead or the files I am using to be installed are not the correct ones
I tried the files on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414341

Flash a downgrade ROM or GB rescue kit from My Android solutions, link below using Odin

Signup at http://samfirmware.com/, type "i9000" in the search field, choose the newest ROM released for you country/carrier, download it, flash it...

if u get the files, click here and download Odin v1.85 !
*Make sure Kies is not opened (Task manager > close anything named "Kies") / Battery is more than 80% / don't disconnect until the process is finished !
Open Odin, place the files like this: PDA (choose Code...) / PHONE (Modem...) / CSC (Phone...) and if there's a .PIT file you will see it (it's something like 512.pit). Then get the phone in Download Mode: Vol. Down + Home + Power, connect to pc and wait until appears in Odin. If nothing appears, you will need the Drivers. If appears, make sure repartition is unticked, and others two are ticked. Press START and don't disconnect until the phone restarts.
Done.
P.S.: That worked for me

Depends on which ROM did you put onto the device. I recall if you're trying to go back from CM9 you're going to have to do the 3 files combo via ODIN.

Yes. I saw most ICS is from CM9. What are the three files needed?

As you already hardbricked your phone, you should try below process once. Even it worked for me. (It wasn't at&t)
(Do at your own risk)
Make sure that the Samsung USB Drivers are installed on your computer.
Download Samsung USB Drivers for your PC from below link.

(Just delete spaces)
1.Now, go to SamMobile’s website from below link.

(Delete spaces)
2.Create an account.
3.Then you need to use the ‘Search’ box and type in your Galaxy S5 model number.– the model number is listed under Settings > More > About Device > Build Number.– enter the correct build number.
4.Download one of the stock Android firmware files that matches your Galaxy S5 model.
5.Extract the contents of the zip file and save the files on your PC.– there should a .tar.md5 file, don’t extract any further than that.
6.Next, download Odin 3.09 from below link.
http:// android host.org/get/PVAIv
(Delete Space)
7.Extract ODIN zip contents and save the file on your PC.
8.Make sure that the phone is switched off.– remove its battery and then re-insert it after ten seconds.
9.Boot the Galaxy S5 in Download Mode.
(Turn off the device>With the device turned off, press Volume Down, Home and Power Buttons simultaneously>Once you see the warning message, release all buttons>Press Volume Up to enter download mode>Now your device should be in download mode)
10.Launch ODIN executable on your PC.
11.Connect your phone to your PC via USB data cable. – wait for ODIN to recognize your phone, then continue to the next step.
12.Go to ODIN window and click on the AP button.
13.Load the .tar.md5 file extracted in step 5.– that is the stock Android OS file.– don’t change any other default ODIN Settings, just make sure that ‘Re-partitioning’ is disabled.
14.Now you can press the START button for the installation to begin. Wait for ODIN to complete the flashing process of a new and stock Android ROM for your Samsung Galaxy S5.
After the phone boots you should be able to enter your default Gmail account and take control over your phone once again.
Hope that this way you start up your phone.

Thanks for the reply. The phone will not boot at all, even download mode.

Ok. So i'm trying to follow these directions with my s5 and have not had any luck. Im using this post for the unbrick file. I get past the part where it writes to the sd card but when it comes to the fdisk part im confused on which trigger to use cause the -1 does nothing on macosx. If anybody has had any luck trying this could they please help.

would a usb jig get me into download mode? or am i just screwed? and aslo can someone one NCE follow these and give me the .img file for NCE?

An update if anyone is wondering. I have got it to boot from sd and have flashed 2 different stock files and the only way to boot is to have the sd card in. Still trying to find out how to boot without....

If you can get it to boot just use the downgrade to nce Odin file and start over

What happens if you put it in download mode, then pull the SD card. If you can do that then try the NCE firmware if it'll let you and see what happens. It's worth a try

galaxy s10 stuck on an error has occurred while updating device software

hi all...i got a second hand galaxy s10 g973f/ds that was stuck on the screen an error has occurred while updating the device software.use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software..
here are where the issues are starting..by going to smart switch app the app doesnt recognize my device..it says unsupported device.so i cant follow any suggestions found on this forum like selecting the more option and then emergency recovery function cos the phone isnt recognized..theres only an option to recover using recovery code but unfortunately i dnt have that code.the other problem is that by using odin i dont know the exact firmware file that was installed previously on the phone so when i try to flash with odin a ramdomly downloaded firmware it fails if i use modded odin or it gets stuck on recovery.img if i use not modded odin..
i have to say that i cant get to download mode by the pressing of any combinations of keys..the only screen that appears is the above mentioned error..even that apoears only when connected to power supply or usb through pc..otherwise if cable is disconnected theres no way of getting it on..
now i would appreciate anyone who can suggest a solution for my problem or if anyone can tell me if theres a way to get to know the original factory installed firmware through the imei or serial number of the phone..
i thank in advance anyone who would spend his her time to help me..

Were you able to get it sorted out? Did you bring it to a Samsung Repair Center?
Look on the back of the phone and you will see the phone model number. Confirm that it is SM-G937F/DS so you will at least have the right firmware when you download it. It would probably be best to get the latest Android 10 firmware linked below. Download the latest Odin 3.14 if you weren't already using it.
You can download your firmware from here. I have the A70SM/DS and the original manual had Spanish on it and I was told it was the Latin America version. TCE is supposed to have the latest software patches at least for my A70. I do not know about the S10.
After your firmware is downloaded extract it to a folder. Copy the CSC to your desktop and delete the .md5 extension from the file. Use 7zip or PeaZip to open your CSC on your desktop and extract the PIT file. Save it in the original firmware (.tar.md5) folder. Delete the copied CSC from your desktop.
Open Odin with Admin privileges and connect the phone. Select all 5 of the downloaded files (BL, AP, CP, CSC and USERDATA). Select the Pit option and use the extracted pit from in your firmware folder. In the options menu select Auto Reboot, Nand Erase, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time. ONLY USE NAND ERASE AND RE-PARTITION IF YOUR PHONE GETS PUT INTO EMERGENCY RECOVERY MODE. Start the flashing and wait for the phone to start up on its own. It might take up to 10 minutes on the first boot.

Hi! I have a s20 that is in exact same state. Have anybody any clue what to do?

This method worked for me on the first try.
Thank you!

seems like partly working for me!
I have Samsung SM-M315F/DSN and I was stuck on EMERGENCY RECOVERY MODE and after applying your solution I guess I'm on a boot loop... keeps rebooting and nothing else!
what else can I do please?
::EDIT::
after trying many things, I went into safe mode and did a Wipe Data/ Factory reset and it worked!

ONLY USE NAND ERASE AND RE-PARTITION IF YOUR PHONE GETS PUT INTO EMERGENCY RECOVERY MODE. Start the flashing and wait for the phone to start up on its own. It might take up to 10 minutes on the first boot.

Fixed my phone!
I've been trying for days to fix my bricked phone that was stuck in Emergency Recovery Mode after a bad flash. The major points I learned is to try several different usb ports and cables (original cable is better), get the correct and region specific firmware (The Samsung s10+ G975F/DS is the same as G975F), keep trouble shooting and retrying many, many times after Odin errors/failures, and to use this provided guide above.
Samsung Smart switch didn't help but this post did. This information saved my phone! I couldn't find this information anywhere else after hours of searching. Thank you very much!

Q: My device is in bootloop, I can't acces download mode or recovery, no combo works, how do I get out ?
A: You can try following:
- Plug your phone in the PC with the USB cable. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and hopefully it will boot to download-mode.
Otherwise try (still plugged in) force shutdown/restart by pressing/ holding Volume Down + Power - as soon as the screen turns off shift to pressing/ holding Bixby + Volume Down for download-mode. Try it at few times as its all about timing.
- If still no luck, unplug your phone and let the battery run out. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and plug in to get to download-mode. This may take some time as the phone needs to recharge a little before it reacts.
- Once in download-mode flash your software before the update via Odin - I would use Home_CSC first trying to save your data.

I have a G970F which got stuck at 8% while flashing Ubuntu Touch system image to the SYSTEM partition with Heimdall on a Linux laptop. I think my laptop USB hardware isn't as good as it used to be. Anyway, am stuck on the error screen shown in the photo. Note that in the upper left corner of the screen is red text which is partially obscured by the curved screen corner, it says something then "Level [3921]". I have had no luck entering Download mode again with button combo + USB cable.
The device was stock Android 12 then has the Ubuntu Touch BOOT and VENDOR partitions flashed to it before it got stuck flashing the SYSTEM partition.
Is it possible to enter Download mode somehow again to begin the unbrick process?

Similar situation here with an Exynos S10e (G970F), but it was already rooted with TWRP and a custom ROM, though I couldn't boot into recovery.
Unfortunately, the Linux situation seems bad at the moment. The only thing that worked for me was to try and plug the device into a Windows 7 VMware with Odin there. I could power off the screen for short moment with Vol+Power, and then VolDown+Power to get into a "fictionnal" download mode (because the screen didn't change) that would allow me to start flashing things with Odin.
With Odin in the VMware, I flashed the BL and the CL from the latest stock ROM from samfw.com, and the patched vbmeta.img (in CP slot) at the second reboot with the vbmeta warning. I then flashed a custom AP (with the boot.img of my custom ROM repacked and lz4-compressed, but without the gigangtic system.img; full content was "boot.img.lz4 dqmdbg.img.lz4 dtbo.img.lz4 dt.img.lz4 vbmeta.img.lz4 vendor.img.lz4"). From there, I could finally boot into TWRP and flash the .zip of my custom ROM.

I wonder if this would apply to my issue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-s10-bootloop-erase-fail-read-only.4260661/

I remember that I got the phone working shortly afterwards back in January, but I cannot remember exactly how I did it. I think I might have used a Windows computer with Odin to return the device to the stock OS. I think download mode was working while the error screen was showing. I recommend reading about flashing stock firmwares on Samsung devices before attempting to do it so one doesn't accidentally wipe IMEI.
I also recommend taking photos of the phone screen when it is displaying serial numbers, firmware version numbers etc... before experimenting with it.
