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
Thanks
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.
So i want to return my phone to stock so i can try to install The newest ROM from darky,
My problem is that i cant get into recovery mode cause my screen gets all fuzzy with white and colored lines, i believe its because of my bootloader but i cant update cause it gets stuck at SBL.bin so im pretty much stuck in limbo here.
Maybe if i get my phone back to stock i can do everything over again.
what information do i need to know so i can download the proper files?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Can you get the phone into download mode?

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 )

Ok ill do that, but how do i find a stock low lvl Rom? could you point me in the right direction? i dont wanna brick my phone hahaha ive already messed it up with the bootloader stuff...
this is what i know about my phone
PDA. I9000XWJVH
PHONE: I9000XXJVO
CSSC: I9000XXEEJV3
MODEL NUMBER: GT-I9000
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.3.3.
BASEBAND VERSION: I9000XXJVO
what else do i need to know ?
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!
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 .

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.
i have plan to flash my p3100 stock rom to cm9 4.0.4, this rom sound like interesting, but i havent test it yet.

Hi guys, Ive just bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4
I had the s3 and loved it but thought id get the S4, (I'm on the Three network UK If this helps)
Anyway with the s3 i rooted it, Installed CF Root, and siyah kernel and worked a treat
So when i had my S4 today i thought id root it, So i followed this video: youtube.com/watch?v=vlsO5o_-CI8 did everything and everything worked fine, then i thought oh ill put the siyah kernel on from here d-h.st/users/siyah/s3 and was completely in a daze didn't even read where it said s3 or anything (Yes i know im thick as two short blanks but i do apologize in advance) and when i flashed the siyah kernal it got stuck on the booting screen where it says Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and nothing is budging it, nothing at all.
Anyway so i looked at troubleshooting things and here's what i have tried
*Taking Battery out
* Recovery mode (Power, Home and Volume Up button) clicked factory reset wipe data etc
So im out of options and in desperate need of help as i dont know what else to do so im desperate, i know im a dope for installing something but as i said i was in a daze and just doing it automatically which i know is no excuse but i am sorry.
So can anyone help as i do hope so,
Thanks in advance
Sorry Guys Its the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 not the i9500, Its the i9505,

maybe you have a corrupted partition due to the wrong flash so you need a pit file with the firmware, see my signature for tutorial
Im reading it now you know where it says: Step 4) unzip the downlowded file (from second or third post), u will get a Home.tar file.
Where do i get that file from what second or third post?

first flash the firmware as pda in odin, if odin gives you "no pit file" when flashing, so you must put I9505 pit file in odin as pit with the firmware as pda and flash. (all explanations are mentioned in my thread :good
Ok downloading the stock fw now ok, ill keep ya updated
