[Q] Back to custom rom from CM7 - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Is it possible to download back the old stock rom through ODIN and reinstall it on my ace? Or can I install it with CMW too from the SD card? Or is there some deleting and complexity involved in this backwards process?

Sure, you can instal any stock rom on your phone. Just have to have the firmware files. I just flashed back stock 2.3.4 after 7.1 CM BehradGH. And istaled BehradGH again I don't think u could instal any stock rom via CWM. Specialy the lower version u have.

Lmao nah bro it failed. I tried flashing it through ODIN and installing the stock 2.3.5 again and the phone was stuck in an endless boot. I got scared as hell and reflashed back to CM 7.1. I have no idea what happened though but everything is working fine. I guess I'll be sticking to CM7.
The reason I wanted to go back was because Heywire (txting app) was the only thing that stopped working after I flashed. I depend a lot on texting and I was thinking it'd go back if I went back to stock. I guess I'll have to try and find another alternative :/
Phone feels like a super phone though. LONG LIVE CM7!

Well, I'm not a developer or advenced user so I can't tell u the reason why you phone stuck in on boot. Today i was broke my CM7.1 Behrad and i could only go to download mode so i flash official 2.3.4 KPH and it's worked. Next i instaled CWM and BehradGH' rom again. Before useing BehradGH's rom i had Grif's KANG rom and after that i flash stock 2.3.4 to instal another CM7.1. It wasn't first time so I'm sure of that what i write here

Haha. I'm guessing we were both pretty lucky then. The first thing I did was to make sure I could boot into recovery. Then I reflashed CM7 from there. I'm still curious about the boot loop thing... I hope someone answers.

You need to flash a full package to not have a bootloop.

If u wer on cm7, then u should flash a full package bcoz cm7 converts ur system from rfs to ext. So wen u flash a full package, ur system is converted back to rfs.

You need to download something called a 5 file package, extract and then in Odin you deselect 'one package'. Generally for stock ROMs you select
OPS - cooper.ops
BOOT - APBOOT.......tar.md5
PHONE - MODEM......tar.md5
PDA - CODE......tar.md5
CSC - CSC.......tar.md5

Oooohh that. I remember doing that once before when I was flashing stock roms on my ace. Can you provide a link to these 5 file downloads? Thanks *clicks*

It's not 5 downloads.
Sammobile.com, find the KPH file. I know it's confirmed to be a full package.

It seems samfirmware.com is not updated with latest firmwares. So u can try sammobile.com which is updated.

dunno about now, but a long time back when i was flashing stock KPN, samfirmware.com had a one file KPN, so i flashed a 5 file KPE and then the KPN...
I think KPN is supposed to be better than KPH which was a leaked ROM.

Hey!
I think you was flashed the ONE package file, but jeah, you need MULTI package file for ODIN, flash from CM to STOCK ROM.
Just read the FLASHING TUT. before flashing!
CHEERS!

To back to stock rom i always use Odin Didn't said i do this by recovery. And always use multi-file pack. Never "one package" - some1 said it is unstable... So go to Download Mode and flash ur Ace by useing Odin and multi-file rom (OPS, PDA, BOOT, PHONE, CSC)

Unstable how? I've always used one packages for flashing stock roms and they've worked perfectly. Unless you're talking about the performance of the rom?

It's not unstable. You will only get boot problems flashing across android versions using one package files.

That was helpful, thanks!

Basically their are two types of roms, one is single package and other is multi package. if your downgrading from one version to another ie: froyo to GB then u need to have a Multi Package rom to flash back as this rom wil have the seperate phone boot and modem files.
if your just upgrading to the next upgrade of the samefirmware then u just use the single package rom and flash it wit odin
How do I know if my rom and the rom I want to flash is single or a multipackage rom?
Sorry to be so ignorant about this, when I got my old phone the x10 mini pro a custom recovery was done so everything was simpler.

Just download it and you see, dose there is several files inside .rar(boot,csc, modem and so on) or you have one .tar file inside!
CHEERS!
Okay, so if I flash a multi-package rom to a single .tar-containing package what should I do/what will happen?
Damn I guess this requires a separate tutorial thread for users who're unfamiliar with Samsung firmwares.

[Q] unrooting sgs2 to stock firmware

Hi guys.
I'm new here so please bear with me if i am in the wrong section.
I've flashed my sgs2 with litening 6.1 rom, and i am really really really glad that i got the rom, BUT... since i am as before mentioned a big ass noob, and since it was a pre rooted rom, so i didn't need to root my stock rom before flashing the litening 6.1 rom, but i made a mistake ... i didn't backup my stock rom ...
so here is the dilema. i want to unroot my galaxy s2 since there is an official 2.3.5 rom for sgs2, and i would really like to get my hands on it since the battery consumption is a huge issue on other roms.
anybody who got 5 minute of spare time to explain which rom (maybe post a link directly for the rom) to install and how to do it ... my friend was all about "flash recovery, wipe bla bla bla" ... that is foreign language to me ...
I am from denmark so i would appreciate if anyone could show me the link to the standard stock rom for scandinavian region. please once again, just writing "flash in recovery mode ... etc" wont help me much ... just a little more detailed description would be appreciated.
in advance thank you for your replies
You can just download the stock rom you want , get your phone to download mode and use odin to flash it. Put the .tar file on the pda section in odin.do not tick repartition!
This will put everthing in stock again including unroot.
Hope this help

About wipe. If you get boot loop then do wipe.
You just need to download one file.no need the separate kernel.

noob asking Q again ... i've downloaded this firmware
GT-I9100_HTD_I9100XWKF4_I9100NEKF2_I9100HTDKF2.exe - 263 MB, BUT ... how the heck do i flash an .exe file on my device?
and i've downloaded this kernel too: I9100XWKF4_Kernel.exe
so, i extracted the first 263 MB file, from exe, and than it turns into .rar file ... when i extract the rar file i get a lot of small files, more than i need to. so how can i install this FW on my sgs2 ? i don't think that it's possible to do through odin ...?? should i put the .rar file on the root of my SD card and than flash it with CWM ??? and should i also flash the kernel or does this first file contain kernel already?

thx mate ... i've been reading that thread over and over again. but just don't know if the .rar file is to be flashed just like that or what? and does it contain kernel already or should i also flash the kernel... big concern as i don't want to lose/wipe my data or brick my phone ... i'm kindda learning how to play around with these rom's, but i will get it eventually some day unless i don't f*** up my phone and give up LOL
anyway, thx a lot for ur help
Yes its all in one file(zip). its as easy as it shows you.
So i flashed that zip file and got bootloop afterwards :-( so i had to wipe my data and than flash the rom again :-( pain in the ass to lose my pwrfect set up.. Now i gotta start from scratch again :-(

Ok, i know this is an old tread, but just to not create a new one, let's use it and ask similar things about backing to stock firmware.
I am about to sell my phone and want to know how to clean internal SD card and let no trace of my files, folders and apps.
How to do that?

[Q] Signal problems

Hey guys i have been having some signal problems with my ace, but I only have them when inside my house. This started happening when I flashed gingerbread 2.3.5 to get a custom rom for my Ace (which is awesome btw!) the rom I am currently using is WP7 Rom by Jinavs. I have googled & searched a lot and all I found was a code to change the GSM too 900/1800 but I tried the code and it said that it was invalid, the code is *#2263#. Then I read something about changing the phone's modem is this possible on custom firmware? I never had any problems when I was on Stock Froyo 2.2.1. Any help guys?
Also master reset or factory reset does not work :/
what I do sometimes is airplane mode or turn off the phone and it sometimes works
and it only happens inside my house it works fine in any other place.
Any help will be appreciated

create a cwm backup then. the point of reflashing stock rom is to get correct modem for your region. after that u can just restore the cwm backup, it wont overwrite the modem.

[Q] Tab 10.1 Bootloop and Rom Problem!

OK, I'm probably gonna sound like the biggest noob ever... but here it goes:
I never made a nandroid backup when I flashed my first rom and I have been flashing different ones since I flashed my first one. About a week ago, I flashed AOKP Milestone 5 ICS Rom. It was running PERFECT until today. I opened the Youtube app and while I was watching a video, the Tab just froze and rebooted. This resulted in a bootloop. I don't have any other roms on the internal memory and it didn't work when I tried reflashing the rom. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
Again, sorry for being so stupid and thanks in advance.
Did you wipe data and dalvik cache? Other than that, you can download the stock rom from www.sammobile.com and flash it with odin.

I did wipe but I couldn't find the stock rom from the website, could you give me the direct link to the website?
Here is the link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ . type P7500 and you should get a list with different regions and their latest updates.
This happened to me too. I tried flashing different ROMs as well as flashed CWM again, but only flashign a stock ROM works. Something about a damaged bln.

[SOLVED]
Hello! I have been rooting and flashing roms for a while now, and after sticking with a cm mod for a while i decided it was time for a change. I foolishly didn't back anything up and just flashed a rom to check it out. I have a Galaxy s3 19300 unlocked version (i have it on a plan for cricketwireless). I cannot get odin to work for me to flash a new custom rom, a stock rom, or even begin trying to flash. Odin either gives me the nanad write error or the program stops responding. I have samsung drivers installed and really need some help. I'd appreciate any help on getting me one step closer to a working phone. Thanks!

yea its 16 gb just 11 gb available and 8 gb available after firmware its stupid but w/e. anyway i got it to work by formatting sd card which got rid of corrupted custom rom and made it just a normal stock bootloop so i flashed stock firmware for a random region and then cf auto rooted and flashed a custom rom. All good now but ty for the help i wouldnt have looked into pit files which led me to the stock file and made me try it. I guess if ur willing to format sd card it gets a lot easier.
not sure how to close a thread but i guess this should be good enough for now. [CLOSED]
