[Q] Downgrade ZSLPF to GB 2.3.6 - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Hello Everyone.
I have read so much negative comments on people bricking their GNote by doing data wipe in CWM. So I have steer clear from anything that has a LPY kernel and my GNote is not rooted and no ClockWorkMod Recovery has ever been installed on the device. It is a pure Stock GNote.
Yesterday I decided to go jump a cliff and install ZSLPF stock rom using the PC Odin v1.85 with every boxes ticked just as it shown on the web. Yes the works.
re-partition tick
pit tick
bootloader tick
pda tick
modem tick
csc tick
Installation ran smoothly and everything started up with no problem except a couple of bugs I found in the OS.
1. double click home to start voice talk. program start but it is not register anything from mic. have to cancel it to start again for it to work.
2. Network error occur while accessing Youtube App from a link within an email, but accessing the same link using Internet browser is fine.
3. Don't really like the S Bookmark widget and I miss the buddy widget from Touchwiz
Base on the above reasons, I would very much like to drop the rom back to Gingerbread. But since I have flashed the pit and bootloader from ZSLPF when I upgrade. I'm not really sure which would be a better way to downgrade it:
This is for a pure stock, un-rooted, no CWM only has stock recovery and no custom rom has ever been installed on the device.
I ask please if anyone can help me choose the following. I'm comfortable flashing using PC Odin
1. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom over the stock ZSLPF stock ICS
2. Flash 2.3.6 GNote stock rom with pit and bootloader
3. other suggestions from above
Thanks in Advance

Bad Idea my friend
I think u got bigger things to worry about especially the eMMC firmware bug since now u are in line to receive it by moving to ICS

once you flash the bootloader, you cannot get back to GB already...

I have flashed to LPF via MobileOdin. I had to restored to gb via Cwm recovery from lpf after I changed something. After that I flashed back again using mobileodin.No issues.

err.
i was able to restore to stock GB via pc odin with pit and repartition and the GB i chose only had the one file and no boot loader.
I did this so that i can move to CM9
so IT is possible to go back to GB.

Sorry to OP. Just seen the post saying do not post any question. I will start this thread in the a&a again. Very sorry

Did you use the pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530501
I'm planning to use the above pit file and bootloader to flash the phone together with a directly rootable rom.
But let me gather my courage first

Yes that's the pit with repartition checked
I flashed back to a rootable gb
The rootable gb did not come with a bootloader so it's safe to revert to
I then rooted the gb and went back to cm9 all in all a 15 min process

Are those links only for pit files or do they include everything? Do you have to use a pit file for going back to GB?

Thank Nandihno
I have sucessfully downgrade ZSLPF ~ ICS to ZSKJ6 ~ GB
I used the pit file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1530501
I used the Bootloader file from here: (It might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23052721#post23052721
I choose ZSKJ6 because it is a direct rootable rom
Flashed all of the above using PC Odin v3 1.85 with re-partition ticked.
The installation process went smoothly but the restart was a little bumpy. Got constant FC error at the "Change Language" screen and goes any further. Have to go into stock recovery to preform a wipe on data and cache and woa'la. It's all Good and Happy Days.
Thanks again Mate

[JVH Install Help] Bell Canada

Here's what I did to get JVH (with 850mhz band) and CSC for Canada on my phone. It worked for me at least
Files:
SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar.md5 (8.38 MB)
http://www.multiupload.com/SRVH1BTK8R
JVH_KC1_BMC.zip (169.32 MB)

http://www.multiupload.com/PM3AXR7JFG
**************Disclaimer:***************
I'm not responsible if this bricks your phone, as "the boss" said if I break mine, she'll break me... or I get a $20 replacement phone
Backup your /efs folder, backup EVERYTHING, just in case... I'm paranoid so I did it all
ROM NOTES:
Got deodexed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11256520&postcount=1
Modem:
KC1
Busybox:
1.18.4
Hosts file updated for ad blocking using:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
Here's the steps I followed:
Save all files to folder/desktop
Connect phone via usb and copy JVH_KC1_BMC.zip to root of sdcard
Restart phone in download mode
Open Odin and click PDA
Select Speedmod tar file
Uncheck Auto-Reboot
Check F.Reset Time (I don't know what it does, but it's always checked)
Flash the tar.
Once complete and the box says "PASS" in green, unplug your phone and pull the battery (I was told it's safe, as it's in the MIUI instructions as well)
Put battery back in and start phone in recovery with VOL UP+HOME+POWER
In recovery choose to update from zip
Choose file from sdcard
Choose the JVH_KC1_BMC zip file and update
The phone will restart/install.
Once it's started up for the first time I recommend restarting in download mode and flashing the stock JVH kernal
You can also use any kernal you want.
Let me know if I can help at all. I was trying to make a completely odin flashable tar for this but failed miserably :9
I'll do my best to answer any questions however this is my first time making something to flash for you all
Note:
I'm not sure where to put this, sorry to mods/admins if it's in the wrong spot, please let me know
Hi,
I saw your thread, and I found it very interesting for people who own a Bell SGS 9000m Vibrant and wanna upgrate to Gingerbread.
So I decided to flash the Gingerbread JVH ROM just like you did, but I need to know a few things:
1. Will I be able to downgrade to my original stock froyo after this flash ?
2. Will I be able to update via Kies in case Bell release an official gingerbread update ?
3. Right now my phone is SIMUnlocked, will I lose my SIMunlockation after the flash ?
4. And is my actual configuration right to excecute this flash or should I flash something else before ?
My configuration is the following:
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Firmware
2.2
Kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
Build number
FROYO.UGJL2
galaxy s vibrant bell
gt-i9000m
Thanks for your hard work, I hope to read back from you soon.
I have exact same configuration and exact same questions as poster above!!!
Still no answer... Guess we'll have to try if wanna know...

1. yes, it's possible
2. yes, but you would either need to downgrade first or do a kies hack
3. no
4. you can do it straight
Thanks zorxd.
I am going to try. So there is no need for me to select any Pit file or did the guy forget to mention it ? Also can we tick the repartition option in Odin?
Sorry if I ask usekess question I am used to flash android but new to the SGS flashing...
when you repartition you need a PIT file.
My advice is to not repartition unless you need it.
Too late... I did it got stuck into bootloop. I had an error when I tried to install the zip from the recovery (I had recovery 3e) : E : Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) . However, I flashed the back eclair JHL and went back to the stock eclair rom. I am going to restart from there following your intructions. I now have recovery 2e ( Somehow I can't get ClockWorkMod Recovery to load directly; it always send me to recovery 2e and there I apply update.zip to go to CWM recovery)
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I manage to get it done.
Still get the error E:Short write of/tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) when try to install JVH_KC1_BMC.zip from the recovery 3e ( this recovery comes right after I flash SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar ...
Don't know what else to try... Help please..
I did it a slightly different way. From 2.2, I flashed a stock 3 part gingerbread rom (phone, PDA, CSC) with bootloader update using ODIN 1.82. I then flashed CF root gingerbread kernel for CWM3 and then flashed the KC1 modem from clockwork recovery for the 850 band.
Could you please show me the exact files you used so I can try to do the same ?
Aren't there at least a couple threads on how to install jvh/jvp on an i9000? Its the exact same process as those you just have to flash the kc1 modem via cwm after you are done. It sounds like you guys are experimenting too much.

Our canadian phone is not really different from all the other ones, so you don't need a special "Bell Canada" installation.
If you want JVH, you can follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to do everything like fugumod, etc. I would flash JVH via odin and then flash CF root kernel via odin so you get CWM3.
There's also leaked 2.3.4 JVP gingerbread out, if you feel inclined:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
There's a way to enable 850 band on the different gingerbread modems, but i never bothered, I just flashed the KC1 modem for Bell which has the band (via CWM3). Search for I9000UGKC1

Okay I am really starting to freak out now...
I am stuck in bootloop, I can't get out og it. I tried flash Back the Stock Bell Firmware but it keeps boot looping. Download mode is okay. But it started doing this I had a message like sd could not be mounted in recovery 3e. Now I can't even access recovery after I flash Eclair but Download mode is still okay...
Aby ideas ?
Have you tried flashing back the stock JL2 firmware from bell? (found on samfirmware.com)
I've never encountered this error before, I wonder if it is a problem with the bootloaders, as the official froyo firmware from bell had a secondary bootloader and gingerbread has its own bootloaders as well.

I imagine you'll need the stock bell firmware as said above and also the proper PIT file to go along with it.
Sent from my Darky's i9000m
Also if you repartitioned it when you tried to flash the whatever it was when you tried you will also have to repartition it when going back down to froyo.
2.2 and 2.3 use different bootloaders therefore if you try to mix and match rom's without the bootloaders and repartioning you will get a ****y phone.

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't solve it yet, but i will open a new thread to prevent this one from getting to messy.

OMG I have an EMERGENCY... please help, I've searched for hours. :-(

So I am not to NOOB but I sure acted like it last night when I was way tired and tried to flash a ROM. Here is what I did...
I didn't catch that I didn't have the CWM but that I had booted into the stock recovery tool... Well I didn't before it was to late that is...
I clicked WIPE DATA
I clicked WIPE CACHE
Then noticed there was no "install from SD"
So it seems like whatever I find to install from ODIN I can't get the CWM to install so I can then flash a ROM!
I need my phone up for work, I am in HOT SH!T!
How can I either flash a rom via stock recovery "update format" OR install CMW via ODIN?
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
Thank you
why don't you just flash again via odin and then root your phone via odin as well?
Don't quite understand whats your problem. So what if you wiped data and cache the rom is still there. Reboot normally and flash cfroot according to your firmware and then you should have cwm up and running. After that flash desired rom and the end.

Flash one of the CF-Root kernels through Odin, whichever one matches the firmware you're running. They have CWM baked in, along with root so you can flash a ROM afterwards.
If you can't get into download mode, turn your phone off, plug it in and hold down + power + home and it should boot into download mode. Then you can flash with Odin.
I thought the same thing, that so what that I wiped them... but when I rebooted the phone it just sits at the "Rethink possible screen"
I can get into download mode and I did find the "cf" post but I dunno what kernel I am running as I can't boot to go into settings to seek.
if you in recovery mod choose reboot, and it will be ok, than read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399,
or put in download mod: turn your phone off, hold down + power + home. Then flash with Odin.
I know you probably don't want to, but you can try doing a factory reset, that should allow you to get your phone up and running. If you have gmail installed it should put all your contacts back, as long as you backed up to gmail.
If you have an old copy of titanium backup you won't loose ALL your apps, this is why I tend to back up every weekend, I'm only a week behind with everything if problems arise....
Cheers...
Flash stock rom... Download cwm and flash with odin.... Then instal rom u want with cwm...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
like I said, I am not a noob, just made a mistake...
I found the cf-kernel page, but I dunno what kernel I am running and so I dunno what kernel to flash (It seems vital)
"just rebooting" don't work lol I wish... it hangs at the "rethink possible" boot screen...
I was rooted but running the stock rom, if I can get CWM installed I think I will be golden, but whatever I seem to flash from ODIN don't work :-( no matter what nothing will flash as "PDA" but when I flash using "phone" it seems to install "zimage" which is the embedded file and succeeds and phone reboots... but still only to the rethink possible point.
flash any stock firmware then flash supercore 2.0 and do whatever you want from there
Think i know what the problem is,i have same issue sometimes,try flashing anogher rooted Kernel through odin,make sure its like if the rom is a kj3 that it has a kj3 kernel.see if that works

Be glad to but it isn't an option in the recovery?
My options are as follows...
Reboot system now
Apply update from SD
Wipe/reset
Wipe/cache
been in similar, if not same situation, things were missing from cwm recovery, like you wrote...if memory serves me fine,
flash stock fw with pit, repartition and everything...
then some rootec kernel with recovery...
Oh sh!t... just flashed the pit file here... http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-with-odin/#download-a-pit-file-for-the-i9100
and odin said success... and screen went black.
Not responding at all now :-(
let's go in a safe way...as long as you have download mode, you're OK.
Go to samfirmware or somewhere on XDA and find FULL STOCK FIRMWARE with proper .pit file and flash it with odin. Not kernel, not anything that is not full rom.
since you state that you are not noob, you know what from there.

What on earth are you doing?
It clearly states:
I9000 & I897 owners (not I91000!!!) may also need a PIT file (also included in RE ROM ZIP files). I will explain further what it's for.
Why didn't you follow a tutorial on xda? Can you boot in download mode?

6. Select PDA (CODE)
7. Select PHONE (MODEM)
8. Select CSC (CSC)
9. If 'Re-Partition'is not checked under 'Option', check it.

Stuck!
Your posting is very timely! Wife's i9000 on CM9 is acting up (wifi loop, random rebooting, and low memory errors). So I want to downgrade to my nandroid back-up with CM 7.1 or at least fresh install CM 7.2. BUT I keep ending up with my back-up on top of CM 9 boot and then getting stuck with a boot loop.
I'm guessing I need to revert to a Gingerbread boot then I can restore the nandroid backup or then upgrade to CM 7.2. I read your posting but I'm not clear where I can get the needed bootloaders. Would be great if I could skip reinstalling stock and just go straight to CM 7 (whatever version) as then I wouldn't have to reunlock the bootloader.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
The problem could be the version of CWM... both are v5? they said that nandroid backup of cwm 3 have some issues on cwm 5 (CM9 comes with cwm5).

adding the bootloader, imho isn't necessary. personally I never use them, just PDA+MODEM+CSC.
512.PIT is mandatory (yaffs2 -> rfs) , GB bootloader won't do any harm.
In case the update sequence was Froyo -> ICS, downgrade to GB will require GB bootloader.
Hi
ive download a stock odin rom from http://www.sammobile.com
but the file does not contain a PIT file
can some one please post one that i can use
im currently running the remICS rom and want to flash the latest rom for my country that ive download from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4643
thanks
here: Odin + pit
same package as sammobile, w/o zip-password.
has 3 pit files, use pit-512 only!
ive download 2 diffrent stock odim roms but when i flash them i just get boot loops
both of the roms ive downloaded contain the one tar file so i flash it per OP
but i just get reboots so i have to reinstall the ics rom
can some one post a link to a GB rom that has all of pit,bootloader,pds,phone and csc in the one file

Do we really need a repartition ?
Can we downgrade from ICS to GB without this ?
Most of the forum suggest not to do that as it can lead to hard brick.

Do you have any better option to switch from ext4 to rfs?
Odin + PIT 512 + repartition prepare partition layout for Samsung stock ROM using rfs.

what if i am on a custom ROM like CM9,are the steps the same to going back to stock?

Galaxy S3 i9300 Unbrick [restore to stock rom] [noobs][easy]

Hi guys! This is a noob-proof guide on how to flash stock samsung firmware on your i9300. Whether you have bricked it or just want the stock firmware back. Here's how to do it (detailed explaination)
WARNING! : This is only for the GT i9300 (international version) , Check your device before proceeding. Also you might lose all your data. So backup! i am not responsible if you brick your phone(although very unlikely) by not following the guide properly
Also you will lose your custom recovery, Custom ROM and will not longer have root
Ok lets begin!
1. Make sure you have the samsung drivers installed on your pc (http://bit.ly/SDaIIE)
2. Your device should have at least 80% battery left
3. Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings>Developer Options>Tick the Usb debugging tick box!
Files needed :
1. Android 4.1.2 I9300XXEMC3 for Galaxy S3 I9300 - http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202240205/4dcf384/I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_NEE.zip.html
2. Odin 3.07 - http://bit.ly/16aRzF4
Extract The firmware Zip file until you get a file with a .tar extension and some other files. Do not extract furthur
Extract odin zip file till you get Odin3 v3.07.exe
Now here comes the actual flashing part
1. Power off your smartphone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
2. Now, get into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power button simultaneously until Samsung Galaxy logo appears in phone screen. Wait few seconds and your phone will be in download mode.
3.Open odin as administrator and connect your s3 to your computer with usb cable
4. You will get a message "Added" in the message box in odin and You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
if you don't get this , try another usb port.. if it still doesn't come , reinstall drivers.
5. Select these files from I9300XXEMC3 folder in Odin at respective buttons:
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting , otherwise ignore it.
6. make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file
7. Double check everything above and hit start!
8. once flashing is complete the phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
After completing these steps, Make sure to wipe the cache and do a factory reset in clockworkmod recovery if you do happen to find yourself in a bootloop (phone rebooting continuously) Or just do it anyways to prevent a bootloop from occurring.
congrats! , you have just restored your i9300!
If this has helped you make sure to hit the thanks button!

Just wanted to know few things..
I bought S3 with ICS. upgraded to 4.1.2 but I feels some lagging after upgrade.
So questions are :
1. Can I get back to ICS without voiding my warranty?
2. Can I use this method to install 4.1.2 which may have no lagging issues.?
Help much appreciated..!
Thank you in advance..!

Make sure you don't attach the USB cable into a hub.

Yes and no... You must reformat partitions and upload an ICS bootloader. Not for the regular user i'm afraid

This normally happens when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
The phone can be revived by flashing a pit file to repartition the emmc in order so it can be written to.
Download and unzip this file and you will have a .pit file which you put in the tab marked PIT in Odin
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
(Just google the one that you need and download it)
Next make sure > r partition, f /reset, and auto reboot are ticked in options in Odin.
Next put the stock rom in the tab marked PDA, if flashing a custom rom then flash a rooted kernel first in PDA together with the pit file, hit start and start the flashing process, afterwards this will also give you the option of flashing the rom from recovery, next, flash the custom rom from Odin or from recovery
When finished the phone should reboot and start up.

Try Re-partitioning your phone.. Put the .pit file in the repartition section , Tick that re-partition checkbox in odin and hit start.. after re-partition try to flash the .tar file again :good:

Thanks for replying!
Last question.. does flashing the stock ICS firmware voids my warranty??
Thx
If it is an official ROM package, it shouldn't trigger yellow triangle.
Even in that case, you can use Triangle Away app from Chainfire and see how it comes to zero

EXACTLY, Ho coulld you do that when you have a bricked phone.
it doesn't matter if you can do it - it's as useless as changing the wallpaper before flashing

[Q] Cant flash a stock rom via odin.....

I m trying to flash an official jb russian rom on my note 10.1 but it fail after “nand write starts” in odin.
Im using odin v3.07 and g.note 10.1 is bought in china with chinese rom n8000zccmb1. Reason im flashing different rom is i want to use russian language as primary and playstore. Rooting stuff is not important as well warrant. any helps are welcome...
This is a known problem with the chinese version of the g-note 10.1 - dies horribly around modem.bin part... The only way I've heard someone got another stock rom flashed was using the paid version of mobile ODIN and flashing it using that.
You need to be rooted to use mobile ODIN and have the rom image on your sd card. You can remove root by unticking the everroot options when you flash the new rom. Don't forget to run triangle away to remove custom status and reduce flash count to none. After the flash go to ecovery and wipe data/cche and dalvik cache.
Go to sammobile to find your stock chinese rom as you may need it to get your tab to boot... Good to have stock rom in case you need to restock anyway...

Can you link me to the post.
To root it, is it ok to flash cwm via odin then flash superuser using cwm? coz by what u r saying, i need to get the tab rooted.
Mate I found that post a little while back. You might have luck using search.
From what was said though , there was no problem rooting the rom, just when you flashed an entire rom using ODIN. And always when the modem.bin was being flashed did it error out....
Hope that helps...
