Hello,
years ago i flashed TWRP + Android 7.
Now i want to go back to stock-rom.
How should i do this ? do i need odin + original samsung rom-files ? Or is there a simpler way by TWRP ?
I would say
Samsung mobile drivers + odin +original rom files + downloade mode
this is safest and believe me simplest method.
just remember to use firmware version same as old one or higher version. cause odin does not allow degrading version there are work a rounds but believe me latest is best.
hope it helped.

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.
I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.
Hi.
I did this now...............
Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM

Is this kit for Galaxy S i9000? Can you please confirm, my stock kit is the first 2.3.6 and I would like to use something newer (like JW5 is). Or is there a newer latest I9000 ROM from Samsung?

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware

Hi all
first, i'm not completely noob for rooting and flashing, but appears that for samsung i'm more than a noob.
so, here is the problem, i tried to root friends galaxy s and succeed it with UnlockRoot. Thaen i tried to flash CWM with THIS tutorial. Everything went as described, only i didn't read the first line of tutorial, that is for the phones with android 2.3 or higher, and this one had android 2.2 on it....
Now it won't boot, can't enter recovery, only in download mode....
I did some searching but i don't understand half of it. (if this was a HTC i would solve this)
Can someone tell me what to do? )
I guess you're on wrong cwm recovery file.Mine went like that too..Never knew it was for GingerBread but my phone were ICS,The phone wont boot.Then i did it it again with CWM for ICS and everything works again.Atleast your phone still can make it thru via download mode tho..
maybe you could try something from this and this and this one

If your phone is on 2.2 version, upgrade it to 2.36 version, by flashing a 2.36 Firmware for your location from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 or flashing a rescue kit from My Android Collection ( link below) , after that Flash any of this on Odin as PDA for rooting and also have CWM at the same time.

Hi all,
firstly I would like to mention that I know that there are a lot of tutorials how to do this..but..I currently can't find the instructions to the latest "stock ROM" (I think its JW6 - if I am not correct feel free to correct me) root..
I would like to know these things:
1) How to root mentioned phone with this ROM?
2) I am not pretty sure but with my HTC WildFire S I didn't need to flash "kernel"? What it is and am I right that i need to flash it?
3) Will I have recovery (like CWM, ..) right after root or will I need to make some more to get recovery?
Sorry for posting this kind of answers - I think that they are already answered but I am little "confused" from information which I get from the internet.. I have already rooted and flashed custom ROM to my HTC WildFire S but with Samsung it looks for me quite "strange" and I really don't know what to do and I also don't want to end up with broken phone..
Thx all which will help me
First you need to download Odin and the Samsung USB driver.
Then download the root file from here. Search for JW4 since there is no root file for JW6. JW4 will work just fine.
Unpack the root file you downloaded.
Boot your device into Download mode by holding down the volume down + home + power buttons.
Open Odin and click AP. Then select the root file (.tar) you downloaded.
Connect your device to the computer and click Start (Make sure re-partition is not checked).
That's it.
Yes you will have CWM Recovery. To boot into CWM Recovery hold down the volume up + home + power buttons.
Hope this helps.
Guys, last compatible version of Odin for i9000 was 1.83, period.
Use JVU or JVZ as only those contain the bootloader you need for any 4.x custom ROM, no other Gingerbread firmware contains it.
@KoFiler on HTC you needed just a custom recovery. Here is the same, but as the recovery can not be flashed on i9000 separately, the package "zImage" contains also the kernel. So you must find a custom kernel that matches the firmware and flash it with Odin to get the custom recovery in package.

download your oem rom here www . updato . com
if you already have twrp installed, wipe and instlall
Easiest way... Smart Switch on your PC. Install it... 20 minutes and you'll be setting up your S2.
Use the device initialization tab in Smart switch. It will wipe all the data.
