Dowgrading official firmwares?

Hi,
I would just like to ask if it is possible to flash from a newer firmware back to an older one via Odin?
For example: My phone is on official JVS, can I downgrade it back to JVR/JVQ?
Is it possible to flash back from JVR to JVQ? I was thinking because they use the same CSC.
Thanks!

Yes u can downgrade....find firmware at www.samfirmware.com and u can flash any firmware any time.

Follow this and make sure repartition is checked in Odin so you can wipe the phone before installing the fw.
But ya you can go from Froyo to GB and back whenever you want on the SGS...

Thanks for the replies. Anyone else can confirm that downgrading official firmwares is possible? Just want to make 100% sure before I do.
Thanks in advance.

If you do it using Odin there is no problem. did that a few times.

My dear yes it is possible to any firmware at any time

I've upgraded and downgraded ROMs, custom and stock, using clockworkmod recovery.
The first root I did on my phone I used Odin, but the flash came with clockworkmod built in, so never needed to use Odin again.
I feel much more at ease using the recovery mode than through Odin for many reasons, but that's just my opinion, I'm sure it works fine if you follow all the steps.

If your new firmware is Stock firmware(released by samsung), you can flash with Odin(dont select reset partition in odin)
OR you can connect to Kies n update it.
OR Go to setting - about phone - software update, check if update available OTA, if available, you will get notice n update from there(easiest n fastest way)

Hello.
One week ago,I was forced to flash custom ROM,cause something goes wrong and I didn't have backup. However,I want back the stock ROM. Where can I download it? I don't want to install Kies to my laptop,because normally I don't need it. I am able to flash the ROM using CWM.

How do I fully root the Note?

Hey guys, Recently my dad got a Galaxy Note (N7000) and he has been complaining about The Note 2 getting jelly bean and stuff.
I already rooted it for him with Superuser.
I want to install a custom rom for him but I read a lot of topics saying that theres a very high chance on bricking your device using CWM and stuff.
If anyone could post a step by step guide, That would be super-appreciated, Thank you in advance.

He's already rooted and on stock kernel, if he tries to flash a ROM using above CWM.zip or does factory reset on it, he will brick his device.
Best advice is to go Here, download PhilZ-cwm6-DXLR5-OLB-2.7-signed.zip (that's the one that is compatible with his ROM) and put it on external SD card. From there, boot into recovery mode, and flash Philz kernel from external storage. (It's the only one that can be flashed from stock recovery). Then phone will be fully rooted with safe stock kernel and safe CWM recovery. Only then should any attempt be made to flash ROMs from recovery.
Re: CWM.zip READ THIS

Easiest for me is to flash ICS of your choice using Odin. Then flash speedmod-kernel-n7000-ics-k3-13-Odin.tar using Odin. Select PDA in Odin to use this file. Google it up. Double check that the file you get is for ICS N7000 and that it is the Odin version.
The end result will be a rooted ICS that you can safely wipe. It also has Clockworkmod installed. This allows you to flash custom JB roms. You may get a yellow triangle upon reboot. Just buy Triangle Away on Google Play store. Reset the counter using the app.

But flashing philz from stock doesn't result in triangle, raised counter and need for triangle away. Surely easier

If he has to ask what is xxLRG, thr i wont even advice him to flash custom roms.
Sell the Note and get your father a Note2. Chances are, he will complain of so many things "not normal" once in custom rom, etc.

^^ Is a good place to start, I would say the easiest way would be to download philz kernel for your version (LRB) and flash it through the stock recovery, this will give you root and CWM and from there on the limits are endless.
or you can use philz ODIN version or even HydraCore ODIN version and flash them using ODIN (obviously ) but this will give you yellow triangle (easily removed with triangle away app)

Flash philz kernel, then use pc odin or mobile odin to flash your custom rom.
Anyway you can use the search functions to get more in deep information.

and copy to ext SD card
-reboot to recovery
-select install/update zip from ext SD
-choose zip (file you have copied)
-Flash
done
This s short procedure but though i recommend to read above said thread to get detail information.

Hey bro. I dont have ext sd card. Can i use it with my usb storage?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

no.. stock recovery only flashes from external storage.. use the exynos exploit app by chainfire to root .. then use mobile odin to install Philz or speedmod or hydracore.. then you are set to flash custom roms
its the 0.Root with apk procedure in the thread mentioned by Dr ketan

This is much harder than my old infuse 4g. M so confuse... Now u mean i need to root using exynos blabla then install file(mediafire link above) using odin? I dont have credit card for mobile odin, but i have pc odin.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

not the above link but you need to use tar.md5 file version of kernel.. as mobile odin wont recognize that,,
here link to MO by its Dev
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
You can use pc odin but that will increase the counter and cause yellow triangle at boot

Rooted using exynos already. Installing MO and mobileODIN flashkernel N7000 already. Then what?

What kernel did you flash using mo?

OP said if i install MO lite i need to install flashkernel N7000 v3.0.apk i didnt flash anything yet
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

First install the mo kernel and then open mo again. Then flash the custom kernel of your choice.

Can u give me kernel link for my device?

[Q] N7000 JB 4.1.2 JZO54K problems

Hi all,
I've just flashed the stock rom from sammobile N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_TTT.zip, previously I was using the N7000XXLSZ_N7000OXALSZ_DBT.zip. Both has the same problems:
1. Can't use PhilZ kernel to root.
2. Notification Panel always became force close.
Anybody can help?

Of course you can flash and use Philz kernel. Obviously you aren't doing it in a correct way.
So please tell us how you installed the stock Roms and how you tried to install Philz kernel after this.

I used odin v3 to flash both files, stock rom and philz.

After installing the Rom with PC Odin copy the kernel (download the zip version) to your sd card and switch to the recovery.
Install the kernel there and reboot. After that you're rooted.
Please do not send me PM with questions like this - I do not like private tutorials - if you have a question post it in the forum - like you did here. Thanks.

So u mean i need to use custom recovery? Like CWM? Currently I'm using the stock recovery. If i use the custom, wouldn't there will be yellow triangle?
Sorry, i thought PM would be mor convinient for u cause the topics in the forum are added so quickly and u will find it hard to browse for my reply.

Nooo, I didn't say anything about custom recovery (what is this?). Flash PhilZ kernel in stock recovery. See his thread and follow the installation instructions. And start to read the tutorials - because learning by one question after the other will only result in stopping answering you.
