Follow my MIUI Easy Install Guide and Stop at Step 2, this will revert your phone back to Froyo 2.2.1
Regards,
I have this problem too...
I want back to Froyo for now, wich rom has inside the froyo bootloader ?
I've tryed the jpx but have infinite bootloop
I think that the problem was that inside haven't the bootloader and with the 2.3.3 version it's incompatible the 2.2.1 :-\
Please give me info about a rom wich include all and flash completely and working a froyo stock rom

I think your main problem is that you have to flash a rom with 3 files and with PIT-file with re-partition checked. Did you do that?
For bootloader JS8 originally have a bootloader in it.

or use JM2 (2.1), it also has bootloaders
Same problem
I tried all available ROM's
with 2.2.1 to2.3.3
with wipe, hard reset
nothing help
If you had 2.3.3 running and you can get to download mode, do not touch the bootloader or reparation. Just install 2.1 zimage and factoryfs with heimdall. If that gets you booted, go on and do modem.bin and csc.
It is very risky flashing boot loaders. Once you can get to download mode, do not repartition or change boot.bin or sbl.bin. All boot.bin and sbl.bin do is get you to download mode or load zimage.
The boot loop is caused by a zimage/factoryfs mismatch.
I use heimdall because it lets you flash individual files.
Darkstriker has the Dutch 2.2.1 XEN with bootloaders on his file mirror. I reverted back from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1 because I'd rather wait for the official update as there is in fact not much difference between the two of it if you just want the stock ROM.
You can find the link to his mirror at the end of everyone of his post in the thread: " [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!]".
Search the original firmware from January 2011 and flash it with Odin. It'll revert with bootlaoders and then you can re-flash the froyo version you want.
ezrom has bootloaders and is 2.2.1
Use the JPU rom: has the bootloaders.
However, to know if a rom has a bootloader, you should find low in the file name of the PDA.
"I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar"
After flashing JPU, you can update the phone to your favourite rom (JS8, for example)

Do you need to tick update bootloaders in odin

Use Darky's Resurrection ROM - with this ROM you can easily revert to 2.2.1.
I want to downgrade my sgs from Gingerbread to Eclair, to have a fresh and new start.
I downloaded from samfirmware a eclair firmware. It includes:
- CODE_I9000XWJM1 (inside the file, there are a sbl.bin and a boot.bin file, does that mean that I have a bootloader for eclair?)
- CSC_I9000OXXJG7
- MODEM_I9000XXJG6
- s1_odin_20100512.pit
Are these files good?
Should I tick "update bootloaders" in odin?
I'm scared to do this because I don't want to brick my phone.

this is a firmware, that disables 3 button combo! stay away from it! and it is ages old. you should use jpu or js8 with bootloaders if you want to have a fresh start.
Avoid Eclair ROM, some have fu**ed SPL which disable the 3 touchs combo for Recovery and Download.
hey guys, I tried both JVK and JVB stock roms and decided to revert to 2.2.1 JS8, I had no problems with flashing it, but i dont know if i`m with JVB bootloaders or whatever u guys talking about.. So my question is how to check if I`m with/ without JVB bootloaders.
P.S I have recovery/ download 3 button mode active as well
And if it`s not a problem, can someone explain to me what is boot loop and if I`m running on JVB bootloaders on 2.2.1 what problems can this cause to me?

if you flashed jvb over kies, you will have the bootloaders. if you flashed the jvk leak with the sbl one in the end of the filename, you also have the bootloaders. the best way to check is, is to open the firmware's -which you flashed to get gingerbread- pda or code file with winrar and look for sbl.bin and boot.bin.
i am running on js8 stock with speedmod with jvb bootloaders as well.
it will neither give you something, nor take anything from you. they are completely backwards-compatible. if you can enter download mode, which you can, everything is fine.
a bootloop is a situation, during this the device will not boot, it will keep repeating the boot animation or will hang on galaxy s logo.

Flash your phone using ODIN.
You can get your firmware from samfirmware.com You will need to register with them.
It's upto you what firmware to use, maybe try I5801ZFJPE Thats a Asia firmware, or I5800XXJPM Thats Europe
All the flash programs are on samfirmware.com
Hope this helps
After Rooting the warranty of the phone is void...right??
And I downloaded the ZFJPE firmware but I think it doesnot contain all the files needed by ODIN...as in I couldn't find the PHONE image...Need help in this
And Can I use the europe firmware in India???

I recommend you to flash the I5801DDJG6 from samfirmware..
That's the one that our fones came with.. It will work for sure!!
..and the file has to be loaded in "One Package" after checking the "One Package" Option..
..you will also have to load the OPS file provided by Samfirmware..
That's about it!!
Nothing to worry about!!
Amd by the way.. That is NOT a brick.. It's a semi-brick!! :-D
..and your warranty won't be void in case if you totally brick your fone!! ..I got mine fixed after having bricked my fone.. Didn't have to spend a dime!!
But, trust me.. You don't wanna brick your fone!! plus, the Service Center kept my fone with 'em for over 3 weeks!! X-(

Good to know that I could help!!
..and No, your fone is still not rooted after the reflash.. If you want it rooted, you will have to root it again..
..and if you want to flash to Froyos now, first flash I5800XXJP8.. Then you'll be able to flash other ROMs like JPM with ease..
Or you can flash any other I5801 ROMs directly, I guess..
Can't provide the links since I am on my fone.. Search for those ROMs on samfirmware.com..
If you want a Custom ROM.. Try Lestatious!!

And about Lestatious..searched it ..There are a lot of versions available so which version is suited for our Galaxy??? I suppose you are using Lestatious on the same phone...can u help me in that too???

For rooting DDJG6.. There is a file somewhere.. Which I don't remember..
But I guess.. You'd prefer to have Froyo Custom ROMs, right??
You can find Lestatious in the Development Section of our Galaxy 3 forum..
For using that, you'll first have to flash
I5800XXJP8 -> I5800XXJPF/JPM -> Lestatious 1.2.6
And then update to 1.4.5..
And the flashing method is the same..
Except for updating to 1.4.5.. For that you have to run "Update-ROM.bat" provided in the thread and follow the instructions..!!
Not at all difficult, only time-consuming!! :-/

No you dont have to...you can just flash from DDJG6>lestatious 1.2.6 and then use the update.bat file for 1.4.5

It might work directly flashing to Lestatious 1.2.6 from your ROM.. Haven't tried it though.

Lestatious v2.0 (Current Build: 1.2.6) - Base ROM JPM - Will Wipe Your Phone!
but base rom given should be JPM...and mine is DDJG6...It wont create any problem na???
i haven't used lestatious, i myself prefer kyrillos's ROM (another custom rom)
download the file to check if u can flash directly from ur current rom
if the file u downloaded has multiple parts like csc (or)pda (or) Phone then u must flash first using the jpf firmware from samfirmware.com
if the file is a single file with any other name than specified above then u can flash directly from any rom
dont flash the bootloader and nothing serious can happen. Custom roms dont have it, some stock roms do some dont. check before. if its multiple package even if you get it you dont have to flash it (and you shouldt) but if its one package you have to check
well the file of lestatious i downloaded is a single .tar file
LestatiousROMv2.0(1.2.6.BUILD)
which has init the following contents
cache , datafs , factoryfs -> all this .rfs
modem.bin
zImage
Now from DDJG6 if I flash my piece clicking ONE PACKAGE in ODIN using the above .tar, will it go smoothly or will give me headache???
And also I should use the same OPS file which I used previously for flashing with DDJG6?

Go to samfirmware and download INDIAN 2.2 Froyo I9000DDJP6, its a single file, so no need of pit or anything, just flash it with that single file and connect to kies.

I think spoofing the current fw to ddjp6 should also work.
I havent tried the spoofing method myself beacuse I will be flashing directly with the 2.3.3 indian version using odin.
If anyone is trying spoofing method, please let us know how you did it.
1. battery issue present in this ROM too ?
2. Hindi fonts ?

Maybe try flashing a stock low level (with bootloaders) rom via odin so that the bootloaders are replaced. And use the latest odin, I think it's 1.82 now, that should reduce your problems flashing.
is all the data lost by returning to stock (is there a way to do it without formatting )

Your best bet is to do a bit of reading around just so you know what you're trying to do.
[Ramad]'s thread of stock firmwares is probably the most helpful to you. It's got loads of stock firmware and some detailed instructions, as well as downloads for odin and all the necessary files.
If you're going to flash bootloaders you need a file from this thread that has "sbl" in the filename. From the info you've posted you're PDA is XWJVH, your modem (PHONE) is XXJVO and your CSC is XEEJV3. If you want to keep this setup just find the right download with the bootloaders and you should be good to go. Of course you can always flash another ROM if you'd rather. If you're going for a clean flash also flash with a pit file and repartition checked. All the gingerbread so far use 512.pit but you can always check on samfirmware too.
Also below are a couple of links to general guides (which are stickies in the "Galaxy S I9000 General" section. They've just got a load of useful information for all kinds of things:

Thanks a bunch!!
im gonna give it a try!
hello. i know there are other topics with this subject, but my question is:
when i odin back to stock why do i see first the samsung i9000 screen and then the vibrant one?
how can i fix this?
originally i would see only the vibrant screen then talking logo and then setup wizard.
thank you.
you flash a i9000 rom before?
try getting your tar file from another source
can you elaborate?
sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
so it's just a problem with my stock tar file? because i used the same one another time and all was good.
i was on biffmod, gingerzen - GB roms ...
think its bc of gingerbread bootloaders. someone come confirm or correct this for me please
Yes, you should use a different tar, the modified GB stock tar if you want to flash back and remove i9000 bootlogo, search file:
GBBOOT-T959UVJFD.tar

Hi Guys,
I am a novice when it comes to android. I want to root my SGS I9000T and I looked around a lot, but my problem is it seems like it is firmware specific and mine seems to be quire rare.
So here is my firmware specs. If somebody has either the stock files for this version or the files needed to root this version, please provide me of the link. And yes I did look on the samfirmware but it is not there. Or maybe there is a way to root that is not firmware specific?
Any help would be helpful
There is nothing firmware specific about rooting. Just flash speedmod k13e (not k15i thats GB kernel), then boot into recovery and root from the advanced speedmod option. Afterwards you can flash the stock kernel back if you want (It´s the zImage file from your install files) You use a tool called Odin to flash, many tutorials around on how to use it...
Thanks for the reply. I have a question for you: When you flash speedmod do you actually change your firmware? If so, that would be a problem because I cannot find my stock firmware? I am trying to root to be able to nandroid to actually get the firmware.

I already posted the I9000TUBJP9 rom on the other thread it's the official kies download , let me clarify this,if you upgrade to oficial I9000TUBJVE gb you can go back directly to UBJP9 froyo because have the same bootloaders ,but if you flash other rom than the official for the I9000T go back to the stock eclair or gingerbread

No, you change the kernel. You should also be able to root with SuperOneClick, search for it in the forums, you dont have to replace the kernel with this method.

Thanks so much! I am guessing you mistypes, but my current version is I9000TUBJP9 (and this is what the file you gave me says) and the version of GB I will be getting through Kies is UBJV6 (not BJVE), right?
So, if I update to GB and want to go back to UBJP9, all I have to do is flash the only tar file extracted from the files you gave me? The flashing methods I read were talking about pit file, pda files and repartion files. I don't need any of that?

Thanks a lot for the help. I read up about superoneclick and it should work if I decide to stay on Froyo but won't work if I make the jump to GB. I will try to see if the CF method or the oneclick method work for GB. I am assuming I will find a method that will root GB. I did read a little about the supermod you mentioned to me, but I got confused because I found guide to flash it but they said I needed to be rooted .

Thanks so much! Last question. For this type of flash do I need to be rooted?

Well if what you wanted was to move to GB then why the heck didn't you just say that from the beginning and spared us all this useless talk of rooting your phone?? If you dont have a clue about how to do something then its best to say what you want from the get go.
In this case just download whatever firmware you want and flash with Odin, no need to be rooted. Make sure to flash a 850 modem afterwards to get 3G back if you flash a european rom. Check the stickies, plenty of guides on how to flash with Odin and threads with modem files.
Good luck mate.

You can go back and forth with Froyo and GB on Odin with ease. I've done it plenty of times, just make sure that you have repartition checked with the stock files correctly placed in Odin...

Well no need to be nasty! I was pondering if I am going to GB since the first time I did it did not go well, so I am weighing my options. I appreciate that you help me and but I do not appreciate the condescending talk. Everything you guys told me was very useful and I do want to root I was taking one thing at a time.
I read the forum( yes I did) and I have decided that it might be best for me to stay on Froyo for now. and I am planing to root to be able to try other stuff. So again yes you helped me and no it was not useless talk. Thanks again.
