Hello..I am really new and noob to rooting lol. This was my first time rooting and running a custom rom on my Ace. So I went for CM7.1 Cyano Ace. So here the description goes..
When i bought the phone i didn't check what it was, just I remember it was 2.3.4 in Malaysia. I got an update from Kies which took me to 2.3.4 KQ6. In the Cyano Ace thread, it was mentioned that I need to have 2.3.4 KPB or higher. I checked on Samfirmware that KPB and KQ6 are from the same region and KQ6 is an update. So i installed Cyano Ace by placing the zip file at my SD card, wiping data then installing it.
Now my question is, how do i revert back to KQ6. Shall i have to download the CSC KQ5 from Samfirmware and just flash it with odin ? If i do so, shall i have to wipe my current data and dalvik cache ? Or I have to revert back to stock Froyo which was for the earlier Aces ?
Sorry for the noobest question, but I am new at these lol. It will be really great Iif anyones elaborately helps me how to revert back.
Suggestion...
I think you can wipe your data and cache, and flash it using ODIN, just a suggestion coz I've never tried other roms than the stock one waiting for official Cyanogen

This is what I would do:
1. Download firmware files from samfirmware.com (now www.sammobile.com; stock ROMs available for download on the forums, for the time being).
2. Flash with Odin.
Thanks all of you..but the firmware I have downloaded, It's an one package file i guess..S5830DDKQ5 it's the firmware. Won't there be a problem if i flash it, i don't know how to flash one package actually lol. Because there is no OPS file inside it ..

Just use another firmware's OPS.
Open up Odin, check the One Package option, then browse for the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the One Package field (bottom-most field, if you can't find it).
Then START and wait as you normally would.
Sent from my GT-S5830
For safe flashing, I think, it should be use the full package. In the firmware downloaded rar file, should have: APBOOT*, CODE*, *CSC*, MODEM*. If there is no OPS file, it can be downloaded separately. Stock Ace rom use COOPER ops, I think.
You are right dianpadi. But i couldn't find such firmware based on the current rom. I did as the above people said like adeklipse. Now after flashing with Odin, the Samsung Animation just comes up and stays stuck at there, a bootloop I assume. So is it bricked ? I have my last roms backup on my SD card. Can i revert back to CM7 rom from recovery by selecting update after wiping it ? Any solution guys ? :/
*Edit: Everything is fine now. When the bootloop occurred, i went to the recovery mode and then wiped cache and user data..wala ! Then the phone booted just fine..I'm now updating to the newest KQ6 firmware via kies. Thanks to all of you guys specially doctorace92, Curius7 and adeklipse. I've now learned a few things lol. Another query, is my phone still rooted ?

U can try a simple dirty trick to make cfroot works with any rom(or maybe just gingerbread) without loosing wifi capability. Rename ar6000.ko file in /system/wifi as ar6000.ko.bak using any filemanager that have root capability(obviously u need to be rooted before attempted this). Then get ur hands on ar6000.ko file from kpn and put it in the same folder as previous renamed ar6000.ko file, give it proper permission and flash cfroot b80. This trick works with zckpa china fw, so in theory it should work on other rom too. Btw dont shoot me if this doesnt work, im just helping

I kept my self really busy, let me tell ya what I did so far:
1- Flashed the new FW with Odin, things are smooth there nothing major.
2- Installed CWM 4.0.0.9, smooth and easy.
3- Installed CF-Room 3.7 b78 and then b80, had weird stuff going back there but it eventually worked, I lost the boot audio on the Samsung logo.
4- Installed EXT4 converter, no problem.
5- Started converting from RFS to EXT4. first time it finished converting but refused to boot correctly, I re-did all the above and started to convert again, now it refused to convert the /system, saying I don't have enough space for the restore, it kept failing here until I freed some space by using Titanium Backup and removed crapware, tried again and now I have EXT4 instead of RFS.
6- Enabled Apps2SD using the Tweak Manager DT: Auto Start.
7- Flashed the Apps2SD GUI, the phone rebooted a couple of times but it didn't install, couldn't see the icon of it.
And now, I must have some sleep! Good night ya all

CF-Root b80 already have this solution.
To install CF-Root to Gingerbread ROM: flash CF-Root recovery b79 using Samsung default recovery. Reboot into CWM recovery, flash CF-Root boot b80.
Indonesia offical Gingerbread update: DXKP9
If ketut is happy, then we all should be happy too, when do you think you can start working on it?
I so far had around 3 or 4 SOD's, not sure they're caused by the ROM it self or the stuff mentioned before that I installed on it, the ROM also randomly reboot it self while working, it crashed and rebooted while I was in the middle of a phone call :/, this only happened after installing the C-fr 7.3 b80.

If I were you, I'd use Kies to do the upgrade, you have the official ROM installed, why not use the official tool too?
If you don't care about the official tool then simply map each file type to the right section in Odin, you can still perform the upgrade without having the modem file.

i've been trying or two days to upgrade through Kies but it wouldn't work.
i read on the samfirmware site that someone bricked his phone when he lashed without the MODEM file.
can any one make me CRT OFF Animation for this rom i trid but not work with me
I really need help from you guys asap, because I cant call or be called by anybody since hours.
I have:
A Galaxy S II, bought in the Netherlands
It was running the latest official update trough Kies, version KI2
I rooted it and kept it stock KI2
What I did today:
I wanted to apply a mod for CRT effect and Battery mod
I flashed a .zip ment for DXKI2, which is some asian version
My situation:
My Galaxy S II remains at bootup screen (Galaxy S II and yellow exclamation mark)
--------------------------------
PLEASE HELP ME
I have searched for any new .zip update to flash for KI2, but havnt found any.
try reflash with 3 files firmware (KI3 or Ki8 or else) + re-partitioning it (by putting pit file).. then flash back to KI2

Isnt it a problem that KI2 is Android 2.3.4 and KI3 is 2.3.5?
Empiric solution
I had a similar problem and for me solution was to flash the vilain rom 1.1 via Odin.
After that you pass the boot loop and you can reflash wathewer you vant.

But isnt that going to erase all my data?
I am looking for a simple solution.
What I need is an update to flash with CWM for KI2 (or KI3 so I can try it)
I have found an CRT + Battery mod for KI3 but its an apk file to replace wth root explorer, which i cant do. I need an .zip to flash with CWM...
The only thing wrong now is I have an incorrect Framework.res stuff aplied right? I just need a correct one to flash over it.
Anybody? ...
Lesson 1, always backup before flashing anything.
Lesson 2, search for crt effect for KI2.
Otherwise just reboot into recovery providing you've got cwm, and flash a non wipe rom over it, another 2.3.4 rom.
If you haven't got cwm, reboot into download mode and flash cf root via odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
What was the zip you flashed?
Do you have a nand backup? (Cwm backup)
Do you have a titanium backup?
Edit: CRT effect zip. Might be as simple as flashing back framework-res.apk and systemui.apk from your original firmware.
If you give me more details of what you flashed I might be able to create a zip to get you going again.

I was running KI2, CEKI2 to be more exact. The Netherlands official Kies version, its also in the big official roms thread.
I have downloaded the rom again, so if there will be no simple solution like you may find I can reflash the KI2.
Just checked out that thread.
1st try...
Boot into recovery mode. (Volume up+power+home)
Clear dalvik cache.
Clear cache.
Reboot.
Let me know if that works.

Probably easiest way would be to flash intratechs ki3 (no wipe) via Odin. Then chainfires ki3 rooted kernel.
Hopefully won't (shouldn't) loose your data but will cleanup all the problems of that zip you flashed.
Good luck.

Dude!!!!..factory reset only removes user apps,data and settings i.e. extraneous data..So since when you have updated your firmware you have overwritten your base ROM.So when you are factory resetting you wont get back your previous ROM.So if you need your previous ROM go to intratech's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and download it and flash it through Odin.

Then I rooted my s3 with cf something root kit and then my signals were gone. I have the international version so my phone should be factory unlocked so I thought I should install cm anyway cuz that might solve the problem. But it didn't.

You should reinstall everything from the scratch mate, so revert your device at stock (using odin), then flash the correct [email protected] kernel and finally if everything is working flash cm9.
Edit: if your device is locked i think you can unlock it easily, search in the forum you can find out everything you need for this.

Okay,
I have downloaded my firmware file but i noticed that i need three tar files for the flashing precess through ODIN but i downloaded only 1 file *.tar.md5
no clue now what to do
Update: I tried to extract the file using splitfus but it didnt work.
Update 2: Okay now I have Installed my stock firmware and it seems to be working now.. But should I risk installing the CM9 again ?

- launch Odin
- load that ONE FILE on PDA section
- put your phone in download mode (volume down+home+power)
- connect the phone to computer, wait for drivers to be installed and ODIN to find your phone (you will see a message in Odin)
- click start
- don't touch the phone until it's done. It will boot alone
Also, it might be a good idea to wipe data / reset to factory before and after flash.
You could find all this info with google ....
On the topic, I have a similar issue. My phone was factory unlocked , and got locked after flashing latest stock firmware. Downgrading didn't solved anything. I am searching the forums right now, but it seems like all fixes are dated.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated.
Thx
Hey rsndetre,
Thnx for the post, but sorry I already did that and it worked ..
Here are the method I used to get back my device back to normal and got my sim card working and again reinstalled cm9
1- Downloaded Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
2- Flashed Stock Boot Image
3- Flashed Stock Recovery Mode
4- Downloaded stock firmware from http://fus.nanzen.se/
5- Flashed stock firmware using Odin (your method above)
6- Rooted the device again (using odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4)
7- Downloaded and placed cm9 and google apps package in SDCARD
8- Installed Rom Manager from Play Store.
9- Downloaded and Installed ClockWorkMod from rom manager and booted to recovery mode using RomManager
10- Then factory resetted, formatted the cache and installed the CM9 and GAPPS V11
Then my phone was good to go.
My phone is up and running, thanks rsndetre, Arsaw and TecQuality for your replies. I appreciate your time

did i skipped somthing??
what should i do??
i read lots of threads n still dnt kno wat to do.

Your description of what you've done is no help.
Download the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile.com, flash using odin then factory reset.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.

Are you just wanting stock 4.3 for your I9300 or are you wanting a custom rom for the I9300?
If its just stock then yes as @boomboomer says you need to download latest firmware via sammobile or alternative site (there is even a collection on xda i believe) and flash this via odin.
If you want to go the custom rom root however to get the most from your device then all you would need to do is to download the rom of your choice and put on your phone, from there get latest TWRP or CWM recovery (depending on your preference) flash this via odin (in pda), then boot into recovery and flash the rom as per the Dev's instructions
Hope you get your phone to the rom/firmware you want

Are u use Cwm? Use custom Rom example u flash Rom 'A'.. First always I do is wipe data /factory reset. Second wipe data cache & last I do wipe dalvik cache.. And then flash the Rom' A'..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Put ur Rom 'A' on sdcard & try use Cwm.. More easily I think
hi was just trying wat u said but smthings wrong i think.i wiped data /factory,cache n dalvik cache..i placed the zip file in my external sd card.i tried to install it from cwm.it said "installing" n few seconds afterwards it said "installation aborted"..n now tht i want to reboot my phone i cant.its keeping on blinking the samsung galaxy s3 logo.is tht normal?

Seems Like uve Followed the instructions correctly but the recovery you are using is outdated OR The .zip Rom file that u have downloaded is corrupted. Try The Following:
1) Enter CWM and flash this recovery, Its the latest Philz Touch Edition of CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
As u said Phone isnt booting then u can place the zip file of philz externally in ur external sd and flash from there.
After u flash Philz touch REINSTALL the rom following the same steps as u did earlier or as some of the members suggested u and see what happens.
2) IF 1 Doesnt work den redownload the rom put it in ur SD and Reflash
I'm Sure one of the Above 2 has to work
