best way to revert from obsidian?

i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.

I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.

Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.

thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.

Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)

that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.

ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)

OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.

By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.

For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.

Stock Kernel

I would like to know how to flash the stock kernel before I flash he 2.2 update.
My computer cannot recognize my phone, so I cannot use odin.
Are there any other methods to flash the stock kernel?

where does it say how to flash back to stock kernel? I'm already on stock rom

Sorry, I guess that wasn't the right link. I dont think you can flash the stock kernel via clockwork. What issues are you having with odin?

None I cant use it because my comeputer wont recognize my phone through usb.
I just want to use stock kernel before updated to 2.2

Just flash the stock ROM in clockwork, it includes the kernel

can you use a different kernel installed when updating to 2.2

He asked for a stock ROM, why suggest that?
You can find KA6 stock here:

Apply using ODIN.

OP, not to sound rude... just look in the dev section for the ODIN and CWR flashable versions.

Just to back the OP a litte...
I'm not even sure what the stock 2.2 is. All this talk of KA6 and KA7 and on top of that all the leaked or not... and people tossing out flash this rom or flash that rom.. it gets confusing when your not used to this. If you go in to the developers section and look, nothing is labeled "stock 2.2 cwm flash able" and when you search for it, you get a bunch of old links to non official 2.2.
I never looked for it till OP asked. I'm happy with the rom im running right now, but I feel your confusion OP.
Edit:
There is also usually at least one clear cut thread on how to get the update and how to root the update. Maybe ill put this together.

yeah some people might need the stock rom to make warranty claims.

I would sure love to know why it is being said that KA7 is "official froyo OTA." I don't believe I have heard Samsung or T-mobile even mention KA7 so how would anyone know?

Again, this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919687
contains the file to ODIN that will get you to exactly where you would get if you upgraded via mini kies.
In other words, ODIN that file and you will be on "current stock version"

So right now there is no flashable version of the official stock 2.2?

How to flash rom on a tablet?

I'm coming from Galaxy S2, and flashing the rom is very easy via Odin. I want to flash the Task650's KME V5 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227800).
Is it possible to flash that rom via odin? Please let me know. Many thanks in advance!

No. You have to flash the ROMs from cwm recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Get FilesForDummies.zip, flash recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 via Odin, put the ROM .zip on your tab, flash the ROM you like from cwm.

how can i root the stock rom then? I want to freeze some useless things

It is not recommended to flash any 3rd party ROM on the Galaxy Tab 10. There are currently no stable or reliable ROMs that can match the stock ROM.

[Q] Downgrade Vibrant CM7 to Stock 2.2?

My wife has had it with her Vibrant running a 2.3.5 CM7 based ROM not having working GPS. I figured I would put her back to a stock but rooted ROM.
Is this possible? I have used ODIN before, so that is not an issue. I am having a hard time finding an original ROM to download.
What are my options?
Thanks in advance!!!

I was on Simply Honey and I ODIN back to stock (eclair).
I use the "GBBOOT-T959UVJFD.tar" (see link below, file is in 2nd post) and the 512 pit file. Make sure to check Re-Partition only, leave the other boxes UNCHECKED.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156832
I followed s15274n guide, (link below) to root and install any rom. I used option B to root and update rom. I installed Trigger as I was on this prior to CM7 and found it to be the most stable.

So I cannot just download the stock ROM and ODIN back to it? Because of the GB bootloaders?

Use this method. It'll clean out any ghosts of old roms, and put you back on jk2 froyo with root and busybox. It should also put you back on froyo bootloader. I do this between every flash now.

Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick (FTDNB)
I have posted about it in several threads, including my own, so I figured I would finally put it in a central location. This is my FTDNB method for starting with a fresh, clean phone, without any ghosts of roms past popping up to cause you issues.
Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3
The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.
Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.

Then if you want rooted stock then flash or odin kb5 froyo found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I would suggest flashing a custom froyo rom like ZenDroid, Trigger 3.2, or Project V though.

I gave up on that gps on the vibrant just buy her a bluetooth gps receiver. I should have done this long time ago.

Ok, I got it downgraded to 2.1 and then up to 2.2. How do I get the official stock 2.2.1 ROM for it? I have been looking around, but cannot find it for download. What is the best procedure for rooting 2.2?

I believe the latest official stock for Vibrant is 2.2 kb5. You can root using Z4root on your phone or Super One Click from your computer. Or you can use Rom Manager to put CWM on you're phone and flash the pre-rooted stock kb5 from the thread I posted above.
