Yes it can be. USB JIG is only the way to boot your phone in Download Mode. After that, your only step is to flash thru Odin stock firmware.
Good luck
ok, thanks... i will try...but how can i find a jelly bean firmware for romania? i saw that are for regions,and i dont know wich one to use, i want it to work on orange romania...if you can give me a link or some advice, i just want stock jelly bean unlocked on my I9070P

It should be all good as long as you DO NOT take Hong Kong.
Not sure about P versions but non-P HK versions were reported as messing up - possible bricks.
At 1st everyone who wanted early try used leaked russian JB (before there were official ones for other regions) - it worked pretty much all over the world
Sent from my TF300T using XDA Free mobile app
ok , i will try russian version... after i will get my phone from service, due to that hard brick
anyway, thank you very much for helping me

Did your friend tell you wether he tried to install a Custom Rom?
You should try to "restore" the Note with a Stock Rom installed with Odin.
I always use an old Gingerbread Rom with three parts. But you can download the right one for your country from sammobile.com. That's easy.
In the sticky threads here (Dr. Ketan's are very good) there are descriptions how to work with the Odin PC version.

I will not check other sites for firmware when everything is here - I'm lazy and I know I can trust them here in XDA.
See here for possible versions.
You should choose a version for the provider your friend uses.
hello,, how to upgrade i9070 from taiwan (i9070zlsd1) to jellybean??? because i cant find any JB official frimware for these phone..
i read some tread is danger to cross flashing i9070 from taiwan to other frimware region,,,
thanks for replay
There is NO danger flashing with Odin. But stay AWAY from the China firmware. It caused many phones to be bricked.
DDULP8,XXLQE are very good.
For the steps, refer:

Old thread, but I had a similar problem. I bought my i9070 in Taiwan and got tired of waiting for my carrier to release the upgrade, so I tried a couple of official Samsung Jellybean firmwares. Sadly, there seems to be a SIM conflict between versions of the phone, as none of the firmwares recognized my SIM card (Taiwanese Fareastone), until I tried the official Hong Kong ROM. Works well so far, had it for a month now. Hope this helps.

If your phone is unlocked and is not carrier branded then you're free to install any (good) Jellybean firmware...
But if your phone is carrier branded (like Claro, Sprint, Verizon, Vodaphone, Orange, etc) then you have to flash their respective Jellybean firmware...
Sent from my GT-I9070
Yes you can use firmware from another country buy only if your phone is not carrier branded, you can flash a JB firmware or rom if you like.GB is kind of outdated
i think my phone is unlocked cause i can use it with indonesian carrier...i bought my phone in HK...
thanks for your respond guys...

WHY did you flash Honkong - he told you not to flash it.

As I know we can downgrade just with those files in that guide I gave you. And you can't use other Firmware to downgrade.
Try with that guide, if that fails - I have no idea how to downgrade HK FW.

My country Serbia Firmware. I use it since it was out. Once I made mistake and I flashed GB over JB - I got that bootloop. And I reflashed JB.
So after you go back to GB you go to JB just like you did now.

I know why you need to downgrade, I read both threads. Yes, you will need to use GB to calibrate it. As R_a_z_v_a_n told you it that thread.
Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.
Hi guys I'm running CM11, ICS 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Ace, GT-S5660D and want to downgrade to the original OS the phone came with, I believe it was GB 2.3.6 or 2.3.7. My phone is rooted but I have no idea how to bring it back to the original Android version. Any help would be appreciated!

just select the rom carefully for your GT-S5660D variant
dont download the rom of I or C variant it will brick your phone
if you have any problem ask for help

Before you install anything, is your phone GT-5660D or GT-5830? Make sure to download the original firmware for your device. Installing any firmware meant for another device on your phone can, in the worst case, hard-brick your device. As for the firmwares, you can download the one that is near to your region. In fact, any regional firmware for a particular phone will work on it. You can also find all the Samsung Galaxy Ace firmwares in the following link,
[Share] All Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 Stock Firmwares (2.3.X) Ever Released
Hope I Helped
I just did it with the help of that thread. Thanks all.
