Downgrade Galaxy S i9000 16GB UK to Android Eclair 2.1 from official Froyo 2.2

Hi everyone. This is my first ever post in my life and hope it will be helpful. I do appologize for my English if I have mistakes in words and sentences.
I have installed Android official Froyo 2.2 upgrade from stock Eclair 2.1 three days ago and I did not liked how Froyo is working (slow). So I decided to get back to Eclair 2.1 and apply RyanZa`s lag fix (and wait for RyanZa to make it work with official Froyo) as it was not working on Froyo 2.2 official (could not root it). I was searching today for the right Firmware version for me (I9000XXJM1) so I can use official upgrade to Froyo from KIES again. And I have found it(many thanks to everyone who helping each other and we all can find answers). I am not sure if it will work for all Galaxy S i9000 8 or 16GB, but it definitely worked for me (I have an upgrade message waiting for me on my last KIES everytime I am connecting my Galaxy S but I do not want it now ). I have uploaded all files you will be needed, see the attached picture as I can not put link in my post (rules of XDA). ODIN program and Firmware I9000XXJM1 in one file.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S i9000 16GB simfree United Kingdom version I believe.
This is how I did that (how I learned from XDA):
1) extract all files using Rar or Zip to a folder
2) open Odin3 v1.3
3) check Re-partition box
4) select PIT file - s1_odin_20100512
5) select PDA file - CODE_I9000XXJM1_REV03_LOW_20100721_2206.tar
6) select PHONE file - MODEM_I9000XXJM1.tar
7) slect CSC file - CSC_I9000OXAJM1.tar
8) put phone in downloading mode - volume button down+home button+power button
9) connect your phone to PC with USB cable
10)you should see com port in ID:COM section in ODIN
11)press START button in ODIN
12) your phone will restart itself when downloading is finished
Congrats, you have now Eclare 2.1 and should be able to upgrade to Froyo 2.2 from KIES
It is not my work and honor, there much more clever guys out there then me, I just used they`s knowledge and want to have an apportunity to help everyone who need it. Maybe I am late already?

thx, was just looking for this,

I am glad.

z4root works fine with 2.2, as does flashing a rooted kernel (e.g. CF-Root kernel) using odin. Both are available on this forum if you do a search.

Oh, thanks for info. Will definitely try z4root.

heloo mate the files are no longer there, is there another way i can get hold of them please?

File no longer exists.... update please if possible

It is there. I did not remove it. I am sorry but I can not copy paste it here becouse of the XDA rules but I promise you they are uploaded and still there. See the URL on the picture above. By the way "z4root" is not working for me (SGS i9000 16GB FROYO.XXJPO simfree UK), it just never end to attempting apply root to the phone? was doing it yesterday more then 1 hour.

Ok .. go the files from samfirmware and downgraded from JPM to JM1. Did as you said with re-partition. I then did a factory reset on JM1 then upgraded via kies to JPO.
Just to be sure I get a clean install I then did a factory reset on JPO too.
Works like a charm... Now I can update via kies whenever they (if they ever) release new updates....
WICKED!
THANKS
Oh almost forgot.... I used a Samasung Galaxy S 8 Gig model from the carphone warehouse!

Thanks mate, finally done it, i typed in upper case according to the link, i had to do it in lower case instead. thanks once again.

Woked for me thanks, wanted rid of the Nordic firmware, will wait till the UK froyo is released.
Thasnks again

I am very glad that it works for you all.

I will try it tonight and come back with the answer. I'm from Romania, I have nordic froyo and right now we have the official version so I have to downgrade first

Hope it`s working for Romania as well but not sure. Anyway, good luck.

Hello,
Thanks for this, I downgraded from 2.2 (installed last moth using Kies hack) to JM1 but I still can't upgrade to official Froyo using Kies, it says cannot update this device's version.
I'm on Orange in Romania.
Could someone help? How can I upgrade to official 2.2?
Thanks.

NKProds - try downgrading to an Eclair version that was used for Orange Romania phones and please post the results.

1. If I make upgrade to froyo with odin can i make the same steps to downgrade him to 2.1? (because title say downgrade from official froyo who means from kies).
2. I have problems with camera (not open) and with scroll bar (not open) after i make download and install thetering from market(
I reinstall camera but problems stiil there. That is the final choice (downgrade-upgrade again from kies) to try something before to send to service.

I have problem. In downloading mode computer not regonize phone. HELP.

Open Kies and let it run in the background connect phone see if it finds drivers .
jje

Thank you so much for this post, saved me hours of searching.

atrix uk orange bootloop help

hey all got my atrix a week ago very happy with it managed to root it and thought i would take the plunge in flashing gingerblur 3.1 to it today
all seemed to go well untill reboot and now i seem to be stuck with a red flashing led and rebooting i did however make a backup of my stock rom if it helps
currently i cant do anything softbriced i think
any help on this would be great i am new to all this
uk atrix on orange network

well for any uk users who might come across the same issues i booted into fast boot recovery selected android recovery with volume buttons
which brought up an picture of droid and escelation mark tapped the bottom right hand corner to show on screen menu and selected factory restore and it fixed my bootloop issue.
now im sucsesfully running gingerbreak
i then used titanium backup restored my apps everything is good now
only issue is i cant change my deafult lock code and the finger print settings crash kinda stuck with a pin lock everytime it sleeps

nice one, good to know a orange atrix can use these roms, did you follow the exact same process or did you have to do anything different to the instructions provided?
also mine is stuck in a boot loot with the red led, but factory reset didnt fix it waiting for orange to get more stock for exchange

just followed the instuctions as posted from other users and read a few guides from here for days on end im wondering myself if there are any custom roms based on uk phone releases

No roms based for uk phones as yet as we run a diffrent software version than any of the other out,the only way it will work at a guess it to load a stock rom of a higher version from a at&t or bell one and then use a custom rom based for them, at the mo i am not going try it as we have no way to recover a full brick,you can always try and edit your own rom,this phone is nothing like the htc ones we all love to play with.

just so ya know the 2.1.1 that has leaked works perfectly and you can flash greyblur over it however it breaks data so i would bother for now but yeah it seems pretty safe, both me and chuckyd have flashed successfully

Thats is good news, can you explian more about the data breaks?

its pretty weird, for me it seemed to work fine after i flashed, but then after rebooting later in the day, i couldnt get data to work regardless of what i did, it appeared to work with roaming enabled but i guess leaving that on isnt a great idea. hopefully its something small that ken could fix for us uk users as going from greyblur is a lot nicer overall, i found the honeycomb music player a bit slow though so ive installed playerpro

Have you got the right apn details? also have the radio rom changed?

Atrix in the UK
Hi Folks, I have had an Atrix for three months now and it works brilliantly in the UK with the following setup. Gingerblur 3.1 (based on android 2.2.2 with the system version 4.1.83.(latest avail) The only slight problem you might have is with the radio rom and thats easily fixed.(pm me for details) Also fully recoverable if required.

Ok, is it a new radio rom file?

Hmmm that's really odd, just try to go to a service center there and just have it flashed manually by them or just root your phone and then flash any custom GB build (which is better IMHO than stock ones).

Maybe the OTA update are available in Indonesia only, root it and flash the latest ROM or latest build, like using Virtuous Unity or CoreDroid rom

Just flash it, it is nicer than the stock roms and you have possibilities.

Screen lock button shut downs the whole phone, instead of locking it..

Hello guys. I just had an unexpected problem. i finally managed to install custom firmware (miui to be exact) and i have A BIG PROBLEM!!!
When i press the power button, in order to lock in, my phone just shuts down!
I tried installing different versions of miui, I even installed CM to to test.. but problem still apears. This means i cant use any custom firmwares, except standart one.
I saw many comments, that people saying it works and etc. but mine lock in button just shuts down the whole phone.
The phone is stock bought, and what I did, is just installed CW on it.
P.S. I saw that one guy had the same problem, but with the u8800 not-pro model. He said that fixed firmware solved the problem. So what should i do? is it my phone's problem or custom firmware needs fix?

[Q] Repair phone function after wrong flasihing with ZTA LIBRA 2.3 ROM

Dear all,
My ZTA Blade GSM is China model with some modification, specialy sold in Indonesia.
Yesterday I've flashed my Blade to 2.3. Since I'm new in ZTE, I did not noticed that the ROM is actually for LIBRA. The file was downloaded somewhere named: P020110913632559206355.zip. After flashing, my phone just show ZTE logo, and go back restart, and back to show ZTE logo, and back restart. Just looping like that.
I've make it back to Original ROM, using one of modaco de-brick tutorial until ClockWorkMod menu appeared. I re-flash original ROM using this CWM model. I think I'll have my phone back to normal. But It does not.
Now, My phone is as original except:
- It always set in Flightmode, and cannot be changged
- I force the phone to activate its WIFI using Power Control widget
- Phone facilities (phone, sms, etc. Including Data) cannot be activated.
- Back key keep flashing (red light)
I think, the GSM model is corrupted or somehing.
Is there any way that I can refive the phone function including 3G data communication?
Thank you for your help.

I would recommend you to get the cyanogen mod7 stable release for the blade and use that and get it from the official cyanogenmod site

Thank's Hellz0wn,
I'll try your recomendation. I'll report here the result.

Here the result, which is not so good..
I install CyanogenMod-7-08122011-NIGHTLY-Blade, Build Number GRJ90.
I also try using CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Blade, Build Number GWK74.
Airplane mode still cannot be disabled. Thus, the problem still there, that I cannot use Mobile Network.
Is there any suggestion? Thank you in advance

have you tried to use a different SIM card that might be the problem have a look at that
Sent from my Blade using xda premium

Yes, I have.
I have 2 SIM and both are working correctly on my other phone.
Using "Hold power button", I can make the Airplane mode off but I think it is not fully true. Because, the Airplane mode in Wireless & network setting still tick marked.
Don't know what's is wrong.

I'm dont know a lot with chinese blade but I thinks you have done something wrong with a TPT, and you have a bad radio/baseband.
Which Gen was your blade at he begining?
Send from my Blade!

I was TFT-ed like standard, but the image file is not. It is for Libra (I knew it after the TFT). I also think that there is some thing with radio (the phone, and the bluethooth), but not the WIFI.
I was checked that my phone:
Type: Gen2
BaseBand version: P729B01
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]
Build Number: ZTE-BLADEV1.0.0.B01
That is what I know so far.
oh yes .. this is the site where I find the ROM for the first time:
ZTE Blade gets an official 2.3.5 firmware upgrade www.*talk3g.co.uk/showthread.php?9077-ZTE-Blade-gets-an-official-2-3-5-firmware-upgrade
Delete * from the site name ..
If I read informasion by karthiknr at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25866200&postcount=1
I think my Blade radio images was also flashed.
Thank you.

I've tried flashing the same Indonesia's Blade ROM, but It did not work well. I think most of the file is recovery ROM that not include the radio image.
My friend has the same tipe of phone.
How can I make an image of the phone, that include the radio image. I want to make the phone ROM of my friend's Blade.
Maybe using this methode, I can recover mine.
Thank you for your advice in advance.
