Downgrade cmw - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hello guys, is there any way to downgrade my cmw(i have 6.0...) to 4?I had the 4 version and it was very good and stable.Also i want the version 4 because i want to downgrade to android 4.0.4 aosp(now im in kit kat).Thank you.
Ps odin can NOT detect my phone(THATS THE HARD PART OF THE STORY )

Odin cannot detect your phone...?
1) Do you have the Samsung USB drivers installed?
2) Which version of Odin are you using?
3) Try switching USB ports.
4) Try using another USB cable.

1.Drivers auto install when i plug in the usb cable.
2.I used many odin versions from xda and google
3.I tried at all the usb ports of my pc
4.The usb cable is fine
Any other way to change cmw (downgrade) without odin or pc?

If u have recovery.img file then place it under the /sdcard directory like : /sdcard/recovery.img.
Now goto terminal emulator & type:
su

wait for a while until new line is displayed. Now u should have a new recovery.
Switch off ur phone & press & hold Home & Power buttons together to check if it's installed properly. In case u can't access new recovery, then normally switch on the phone(yes u can still switch it on...) & repeat the above procedure again in terminal emulator & now it will definitely work.
For me it took two tries to get it
Hope this helps...!!

I will try it tonight and i will tell you if that works :thumbup:
Thanks man!
WORKED!I love you!

wrong section should be in q&a
try forcing detection by going to settings, storage, mount usb. or likewise.
Kies troubleshooting is better.
Also make sure you have usb debugging off in development options

I haven't been able to resolve it by reinstalling kies. Before I could plug my note in and the phone card and external card would show up in my computer. Now only camera mode works. MTP no longer works.
I have to manually mount the usb storage to access ext sd card.
Try this
Setting -.security.-device administration - remove if any checked and try to connect.

[Q] No root recovery aymore

Dear Forum,
I have a I9001. I've been busy with it for a week now and read and tried allot. Nothing seems to work!
So , my I9001 doesn't have a recovery any more. No root or CWM. The rom works (2.3.5) but crashes or freezes. Then tried every
combo in the book to get into the recovery mode but nothing works.
So I ask you biggest android forum of the world: What the hell is going on??
Tried to get into recovery by recovery boot by pc, tried installing other roms or kernels or whatever.
Also getting a mmc boot mbr read failed when trying above stuff by odin.
Also when I shutdown the phone and I start it up again then it has to be installed again like country and date etc etc...
Thanks in forward for answering.
Greetz,
Happybeat
But download mode still working? Then you could try to flash the recovery via Odin again or a stock Rom, AFAIK those contain the stock recovery as well so afterwards you'll have a "fresh" installed phone... Might work, no other ideas...

Is there a program that can do a clean install? Or cant I just clean it when I hook it up to a pc? Because I have access to the internal memory of the phone by pc.

Sorry for my late answer!
stock I think. This is every info I have on the phone:

That's it...
Ok...this is strange...I just connected it to my pc and have access to it...but when I deleted something what was in download it says delete permant I say yes...when I restart it and connect it back to the pc and go to download its back??
Sorry don't know any solution but I'm quite new in here so maybe you can post it into/revive this thread because the Q&A is (in my opinion) not well visited by I9001 users because it's meant to be for i9000.

Thats the problem. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. I can get into download mode but not into recovery mode. It's like it is vanished.
And I dont know if someone from the mods could put this into the 9100 section? I thought I had to put questions here since there isn't a Q/A for 9001...

You can do a factory reset over the dialer on a stock Rom by entering a certain code, you can look it up in the xda wiki about the I9001

Yep did that. Doesnt work. The thing is also that I cant change anything. Everytime when I reboot I need to install again. So it doesnt remember. Same when I connect it to the pc and I remove a file from download that I do not need it doesn't remove the file because the next time I reboot its back. It's like the internal is locked?
I can't find a good page with an explanation, so I'll just type it out myself. If anything isn't clear, ask!
You can try getting into recovery mode using the Android SDK, maybe that could work...
Install the latest version of Samsung Kies if you haven't already (for the USB driver)
Install the Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) You'll need just the SDK, everything else is useless for this
Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have installed the Android SDK (basically you'll run the command cd "<folder>", where folder is something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk")
Start your phone and go to Settings > Applications > Development
Enable USB debugging (if it's not there, just find that option and enable it )
Connect your phone using a USB cable
Go back to your command prompt and run the command tools\adb reboot recovery
Hopefully your phone will boot in recovery mode
Good luck!

Ok so thank you for this but unfortunatly it just didnt work. I think it is dead. Does Jtagg do any difference? Like hook it up to that machine?
So what it does at this moment:
It starts up but everytime you start up it will ask you to install everything again. So it asks what country etc.etc...
When I am in it appears to work but starting apps just makes it all crash or freeze.
Im a bit lost at the moment to do anything. It just looks that it doesnt memorize.
I can hook it up to the pc but you cant remove or add anything. You can just look and scroll through it.

Are you putting the phone in download mode? Hold volume down and home, then turn the phone on, then connect by USB. Odin should detect the phone now.

Install Samsung Lies so your computer recognizes your phone, then never use it for anything. Then put the phone in download mode and try Odin again.

There is some problem with ur pc only I see as Odin will recognise ur device be it on any ROM. Now what may be the problem with your Pc.
1. Administrator rights not granted to odin.
2. Drivers not properly installed.
3. Windows USB drivers not installed properly.
4. USB drive not working (least possible)
Try running Odin AS ADMIN. Maybe it works.

hello, if the computer doesnt recognize the phone the problem seems to be in the drivers. Uninstall kies and drivers (control panel> programs), then download kies again, reboot computer and try to connect the phone. [if you have a custom rom is natural kies dont recognize it].
When appears the information of USB connection, switch the storage and see if it lets computer access the SD.
If this works, you can use ODIN, if not try this
If nothing works and you have access to another computer try to install the kies there and do everything there to see if work.

[Solved]M7 Soft bricked,ADB/Fastboot not working,No OS as well,TWRP 2.6.3.3

Hello.I am in some kind of a trouble..I just bought a phone with firmware problems,hoping i could make it work.The problem is this,someone tried to update the firmware,unsuccesfully,and now it's stuck with no OS.I can only start recovery and bootloader.
Recovery is Teamwin 2.6.3.3.Already tried to clear cache and everything,to use an USB with OTG,but it's not recognised,ADB sideload also it's not working.
adb devices shows the phone is not connected,and FastBoot says "Waiting for device".Any idea? I've tried,read a lot,but I can't really work it out..
Also,I can't find the device in Device Manager,neither in ADB nor Fastboot.
I tried using Windows 8.1 and 7..Same deal.
Thank you!

First, follow instructions given in this post to install the latest android sdk-tools and the latest htc drivers. Also make sure you don't have HTC Sync installed on your computer.
Then connect your phone to you computer with the original cable (or any other cable already known to work for data transfer - some usb cable are only providing power), reboot the phone in bootloader mode by holding vol down and power. Make sure you see the red "fastboot usb" caption on the screen, if not use vol up/down and power to select the "fastboot" menu. Once there open a command window form the android sdk-tools folder and type "fastboot getvar all". Copy/paste the ouput of this command here (except the imei and serialno).
I've followed that,and still not working.pics attached.
It's very weird,because I was expecting for a soundfrom the Windows,like a new device connected .But ..nothing

With your phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, go to your windows device manager, take a screenshot of your device manager and post it here please.
The unknown device is related to my laptop.Nothing happens when I connect the phone.

Ok so its not detected at all
Might be caused by
a bad usb cable --> Try another one that you are 100% sure its working
a bad usb port on the computer (use only usb 2.0 ports btw)
a problem with the computer ---> Try another computer.
a bad usb port on the phone ---> need to replace the usb/front mic board
Might also worth to fix your laptop drivers problem. Might be causing problem if the "unknown" device is an adapter or usb controller...
Then reboot the computer.
I think we can exclude the first two,because I've tried 2 different USB cables,and with my S2 ,both of them are working,even ADB.I will try to replace the usb port from the phone,and then try again.But,do you think it will work ?
Thank you!

Its hard to tell, there isn't any background info about what was done on that phone. The usb board is pretty cheap so it worth a try if you are 100% sure everything else is fine (computer, cables etc..)
I understand,but,I mean,as far as I know,it's not hard brick,because the phone is still booting..in some way ..so if I manage to connect it,I can flash the rom..am I right?

Normally it should be pretty easy to fix if you can get fastboot and adb connectivity. You could then update the firmware so you can flash the correct RUU to restore the phone back to stock, already made the research and all the files (firmware and ruu) you'll need are available.

Sorry for the late reply,the phone is now in service,in 1-2 days they should fix the USB board,and I will get back with more info soon.
Thank you very much for your quick answers and for taking time to help me!
Good news,I've managed to unbrick it.I asked a friend with a Mac to check it out,and his Mac recognized with no problems.Installed the Os,but still,Windows can't detect it.I've tried on 2 pc's(7 and 10) with the proper drivers.Weird..
Anyway,thank you for your time @alray !
