Q/Help please: Downgrading from 2.3.3 gingerbread to stock 2.2.1 froyo (S5830) - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hi, I've just gotten my galaxy ace for 3 days. I updated my fone to gingerbread using S5830XXKPE and odin from samfirmware. It's been restarting/shutting down by itself after the update so I wanted to downgrade to froyo again but I tried downloading and flashing a lot of other versions but, no luck. It hangs and stays at the "Galaxy ace" part of the boot and doesn't open. But whenever I flash it back to S5830XXKPE, it opens and works but I think it is bugged and I really cannot downgrade to other firmwares. Is anyone else having the same problem??? Help please >_<
Update:
I've successfully flashed it with S5830XXKPB but still its GB 2.3.3, I still can't flash it with froyo 2.2.1 firmwares. help pretty pleaseeeee...

Download a multipackage 2.2.1 firmware, one that when you unzip it will have several files. You probably flashed a single package .tar that caused the brick.
A single package update contains only some files to be replaced over the original 2.2 firmware and is not the full rom so you'll have to flash a multi package then update to your desired single package.

Thanks for replying. Actually I'm using odin multidownloader 4.38 and yes, I did use the multipack not a single .tar.
Here are the list of firmware I've downloaded and used to flash my phone but unsuccessful all attempts: (and some firmware I've deleted because of anger lol) )
S5830XXJLC
S5830XXKA7
S5830XWKB7
S5830XXKC1
and now these two are the ones that boot up when I flash on my phone: (both GB)
S5830XXKPE
S5830XXKPB

I did successfully downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 though. I believe the firmware from Samfirmware.com will have labelled "MULTI-CSC" or something like it.. I can't check now it's midnight here and sleeping time...

okay, I'll try that too. Imma download 2.3.4 from samfirmwares then try downgrading to froyo. I'll tell ya how it goes. (crosses fingers) )

Successfully flashed to 2.3.4 but downgrading...no luck. What could be the problem...ohhhh maaaannnn!!! >_<

yeah, actually I tried that exact firmware S5830XWKB7 posted above. I think I'll just have it returned to where I got it. thanks for the replies people

It was I'm ly after rooting that i had the restart issue and only when titanium backup was using super user access. After upgrading super user in the market everything was fine after that - v2.3.4 running sweet now.

S5830XXKA6 was what I used. But oh well it would always be better to get a fresh phone

they said they'll just call me to get the new phone when it arrives.

Successfully downgrade my gingerbread to froyo, although it is not the stock rom i guess..thanks to the poster.

You could still update by flashing to the new one from the older multi-package.

Not to threadjack or anything but I did downgrade from 2.3.4 down to 2.1 XWKB7 everything works fine, Im on my correct CSC and the apn was preconfiged like it should be but when i connect to kies It says that it cant update my phone and marks my CSC as SER (wich it was with 2.3.4) but according to *272* Im using NEE
(wich is nordic as best I can gather)
Hope you guys understand this mess

Well do you have a nandroid backup of your system, data, etc?

No, I thought nandroid wasn't an option for us yet?
I have the correct csc and modem but its not the same PDA I have kb7 but stock was kc2

Just to update, kies was in a better mood today than yesterday and saw that I had the correct CSC and gave me an upgrade to stock

ODIN 4.38 can´t flashing? (mibip or startup?)
When you have problem with downgrade or upgrade firmware thrue ODIN and you are user WIN7 ---
- You can use to flash only one firmware!!!!
(it does not matter which, !!!! BUT you must going UP and DOWN,UP,DOWN like this(2.3.4 to 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 to 2.2.1)
----No like this (2.3.4 to 2.3.4 it doesn´t work) )
- You must after every re-flash--------reboot your PC !!!!!
- Your ODIN 4.38 stop at -- download mibib or something else? It´s my problem too
- After restart everything is O.K.and NOW ODIN doing everything to

Great news!!! I have installed and works fine with my ACE L version, the 3G connection works fine (my operatos works in 1900MHz frec)
This is the information in samsung kies
The downloaded file is an EXE, run and get a TAR file, flash with ODIN with signle package option.
If you come from 2.2.1 is very important to flash another samfirmware ROM such KPH, then flash this.
If you come from 2.3 don't worry.
And good news, this is original and appears in Samsung Kies, look
is it this one from samfirmware because there it is stated as 2.3.3?

Thanks! It work greats anyways!.
Why KP7 instead of KPH or even KPN? I read KPN has lots of improvements over KPH. Thanks for your work

maybe it happens because the file extension is .exe

Nop, in SamFirmware only appear the Global Version, this firmware is for the L version, not for the Global, B or T, only for L, this device update to Ginger this day, this is and original firmware and the LatinoAmerican Users with unbranded devices see this update via samsung kies, in the second post I put a screen capture.
For the B and T version exist the 2.3.4 from Vivo Brazil, search in this forum if you want to download it

[Q] Newbie - help wit firmware SGS2 latest

Hi all,
I am aware that there are some other posts about newbie and firmware questions, but I guess since I upgraded to the latest firmware - hope it is okay to ask the question.
I have recently upgrade the Android to 2.3.4 XXKG6 - but now when I connect to Kies it says that the firmware is not upgrade-able. did I do something wrong?
What is the most stable,useable, efficient firmware available?
my phone is :
Model:GT-I9100
Android Version 2.3.4
BaseBand: I9100xxKG6
Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100KG6-CL425236
Build Number: GINGERBREAD .XXKG6
It will be much appreciated if I someone can point me to the right direction on how to do the installation and where I can get the files.
Thanks again
i think its saying not upgradeable as thats the latest software isnt it? i believe it is so it is simply saying there isnt any further update CURRENTLY
xxkg5 was the official firmware that is upgradeable with kies.
xxkg6 is a custom that is cooked here at xda.
Cooked firmware does not work with kies as it is not recognized that is why you have to use either odin or cwm.
There is a warning at the beginning of the xxkg6 thread that tells you that kies will not work after installation.
Kies will pretty much never upgrade you from an odin flashed firmware, most of the time it will not recognise it as a valid version due to mixing and matching files.
Though, by the time you are odin flashing you will have gotten fed up by how slow firmware updates come anyway
But yes, KG6 is the current "best" stock firmware available.
Thank you guys.
This is a steep learning curve for me at the moment so bare with me
So, currently I have the latest Custom Firmware, is this correct?
Another questions:
* when I use the ODIN to flash the firmware to KG6 the option of "repartition" is not ticked. Do I need to re-flash it again and "ticked" the repartition option?
is there any difference with the "Repartition" option ticked and NOT ticked?
Thanks again
Sometimes a flash may carry a file called a pit file.If so the re-partition box will be automatically checked otherwise never under any circumstances should you check that box if you are not using a pit file.If it is needed the instructions will let you know otherwise never.If you are on XXKG6 and all works fine there is no need to do anything else unless you want to flash a ROM or something.That's up to you.
Sorry to be a big pain here but I am wondering if it is possible to down grade / RESTORE to the original firmware I had? (incase I want to)
it was
Android version is 2.3.3
build number is z2KG2
kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100
I should have asked this before I did anything else.
thanks again

What I did was downloaded the ZSKG2 firmware and using ODIN I flash the firmware. Is this way to do it to go back to official GingerBread 2.3.3?
I didn't do any Root processes.
Do I have to do the Kernel flash as stated in the tutorial? :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
My understanding is that I do not need to do the Kernel unless I want to do Root. am I correct?
*** Reason for trying to go back from 2.3.4 XXKG6 is because my WIFI signal does not look as strong as the 2.3.3 (let me know if this is incorrect)
Thanks
kernal flash is to bring to stock that mean it removes the root only.
firmwares do not change gingerbread versions from 2.3.3. to 2.3.4 or 2.3.4 to 2.3.3..
you need an offical carrier branded version that does a wipe of your phone.

Hi all,
I have restart My modem and and my Phone but my WIFI is not improving at all, I am just wondering if any one can help on how to put it back to my original firmware
Thanks
Your phone has gone into whats called a boot-loop.To get out of it enter into recovery mode (menu-volume up-power button) wipe cache,wipe cache repartion,factory reset and reboot system.If that doesnt work enter in download mode and repeat the full flash following word for word the instructions and repeat if needed the recovery wipe.
use this to wipe your device and return it 2.3.3, then upgrade back to xkg2.
XWKF1
This package has: PDA:XWKF1| PHONE: XXKE7| CSC:XEUKD1.
This will wipe your device so do a backup!
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/9OTQ8C6O5D
XWKF1 Stock Kernel: Use the ZSKF1 kernel, it's the same kernel.
THANK YOU ALL!!!
I got out of the boot loop using : recovery mode (menu-volume up-power button) wipe cache,wipe cache repartion,factory reset and reboot system
Thanks Cooza for the info. I got to 2.3.3 now
Now that I am back to starting point again. I would like to hear from you guys of the plus and minus of upgarding (which I should have asked in the first place)... I am learning the hard way...
Thank you for your generosity and patient explaining to me.
Thanks

[Q] Confusion between KPH & KPN

KPH is the latest version (2.3.4) which theoretically should be better than KPN (2.3.3), but i have found many ROMS's have KPN as their base & these ROM's are supposed to be the fastest & stable of all ROM's . I am using the latest 2.3.4 KPH Stock ROM provided by Samsung ; & so m confused to which ROM should i go for , those based on KPH or KPN. Please guys if anyone can help me much appreciated (even though i m sound dumb to some people !!)
2.3.4 KPH is not the latest. It was a leaked ROM dated June 2, 2011.
2.3.3 KPN is an official release by Samsung dated July 13, 2011.

not even even samsung feel it stable enough to give it official release (otherwise, we'll get 2.3.4 KPH official release instead)
being official release (through kies, samsung service center), samsung must have feel that KPN already stable for mass release. iron some bug, etc.

You need the Cooper_v1.0.ops and then enable one package. Afterwards select the zip in one package.
You can download everything here.
Note that you have to extract the first zip folder until there's only one zip left which is called S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830OXXKP7_HOME

The only new feature kph 2.3.4 has that is not present in kpn 2.3.3 is the video chat in gtalk.
Galaxy Ace users cant even use that feature because the phone does not have a front facing camera.
That is why a lot of ROMs are based on KPN. For the reason that most bugs have been fixed and Samsung has ironed it out already.

I have flashed fla.sh X2 on top of KPH (even though the author said it's KPN-based), and I have yet to encounter problems such as SoD's, FC's and such. I don't if I'm just lucky or it's something I did, but I can't seem to recreate the SoD problems (but I try, though).

n00b question!
I just got a S5830L, and after the KIES update I've got the following, is this still older/outdated than KPH and KPN?

Android 2.3.4 is on par with KPH, so it doesn't seem like you are outdated.
But if I were you, just to be safe, I'd still flash it with KPH or KPN if I wanted to use a custom ROM.
I'm sorry for asking, but which country are you from? (Can't see the flag under your avatar as I'm browsing through my phone).

[Q] Upgrade from XWKF3 (2.3.3) to XWKI4 (2.3.4) - no difference?

I have just flashed my European 2.3.3 SGS2 to the official firmware XWKI4 I've found on this site using Odin. The upgrade was fine and the system information on my device reads, that I have installed Android 2.3.4.
But when I start GTalk it is the same old version as before. I can not video chat with friends. So I believe no changes have been made?
How can I upgrade to 2.3.4 then - officially?
Should I flash back to my original XWKF3 firmware?
Are you sure there is no change, even i am using XWKF1 v2.3.3 and upgrade to XWKH3 v2.3.4 there is minor changes, do explore before saying anything.
Its normal for not having no video gtalk features in v2.3.4 as samsung decided not to include it. Btw who still use gtalk in the first place, that so not cool at all. People use google +, whatapps and skype.

When 2.3.4 is rolled out it will be on the Kies servers .
But as you have 2.3.4 it may not update unless you roll back .

I upgraded to KI4, rooted it via CF-root, followed the instructions on CF-root guide, installed cyanogen mod nightly build 59, but it doesn't boot into cyanogen. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Yep, wiped the system.
However, I booted back into WCM, re-installed the ROM, this time I toggled signature check, and it worked. I don't know why, but I had to install it twice. Same thing for the google apps...
