Looking to downgrade from 2.3.3 ROM to stock 2.2 - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I upgraded to the new ROM that was gingerbread for the SGS4G. I don't like it all that much and I know I need to Odin but what files do I need?

I used this ROM instead of the one in the above post. It's the stock Froyo KD1 build with deodex and root

Upgrading from froyo/trigger, do I need to flash kc1/kd1 for gb rom

I got sgs4g rooted and installed trigger rom on it and upgraded to bali kernel. I would like to upgrade to gingerbread rom stock that samsung released 2.3.5 and also try a custom gb rom after. Ive been reading a lot and my only question is all posts here say from froyo use one of the two gb roms with bootloaders, to flash gingerbread, then flash back to kc1 or kd1 so I can run cwm and flash gingerbread again. then im set. The samsung release does not state from froyo to do anything else.but flash gingerbread from odin and yer done. So would just odining the gb rom from samfirmware.com just be it? Or would I need to flash ones with boot loaders firat and back to kd1? Or is back to kd1 just for flashing gb rom from cwm which I currently have on cwm. I just want to know if.i should do the bootloader flashing of kc1/kd1 from trigger froyo rooted cwm to get to gingerbread stock or gb rom like octaine or audiophile. Please anyone ? Ive read everything and know the procedure just wondering about if flashong bootloaders... How ppl with straight stock w/o rooy would know to do extra steps or not. Thanks

You're confusing yourself and me. Go the the development section & look for The GB Starter guide by fbis251. Sure, painless, fast way to get on gingerbread.

I will do the kj1 kernel. I did update through keis. Phone calls have no sound unless I press speaker twice, anyone ?

I getting confused by your post. But from what I'm getting, I think you want to know how to downgrade so you can upgrade to KJ6 on Kies. Odin or CWN down to KB5 or KD1 then connect to Kies. Downgrading to KD1 didn't work for me, but downgrading to KB5 did.
Then use SOC 2.2 to root your phone, will hang and fail the first time but will root the second time. As for CWN, you can use dr. hong KJ1 custom kernel but that will downgrade your kernel down to KJ1 from KJ6. If you want KJ6 kernel with CWN, wait for dr. honk.

[Q] Samsung Infuse

I just got my new phone and i am ready to install custom roms. I am coming from a Captivate. I've been read and searching about how to install roms. After reading and search i have a few questions.
I am currently at stock UCKH1 2.2.1 FROYO. I would like to update to Gingerbread. it seems as there is some Gingerbread ROMS, but no Gingerbread bootloaders? Do i need Gingerbread bootloaders to intall the custom roms in the Samsung Infuse Dev section?
I've read that some Gingerbread roms are not root able, but then read that they are? After looking at some of the ROMS some state that they are rooted.
I've read that i will lose CWM after flashing Gingerbread as well, how would i get CWM back after installing MitRa Rom?
Maybe i am totally confused i do have a simple mind, but if some one has a little time can you explain these issues to me please.
Thanks,
TA

I just came from a captivate. The infuse is a lot easier to flash roms. If you are on stock Froyo, download any gingerbread leak and flash it using odin. Download entropys kernel and flash it with odin. Entropys kernel has cwm. Its a little different from the captivate but it really don't take long to get used to.

The only kernel i found that's entropys kernel is this one.

Is this the correct one?

[Q] Noob question regarding Builds

a while back i flashed Trigger to my phone using odin. Ive been using trigger since and its becoming buggy so i was looking into new ROMs but i was unsure of something. My baseband build is KD1, so does that mean i can only use KD1 builds or what :| Sorry if this facepalm worthy but its been a while since i did any of this. Im also looking for recommendations on what ROM to use next and if there is anything special i need to do when switching ROMs.
Thanks
You can flash any rom but if you flash a gingerbread rom you will need to have the correct bootloaders. Fbis251 has an excellent starter pack that you should check out. Valhalla is the only gb rom I liked. It is good others are equally as good.

The baseband is the modem version like me I'm on Valhalla Final with KD1 modem bc it works for me best so what u wanna do is
Download GB started pack from here

Also download the rom of your choice so follow the instructions of the GB starter pack and you will have Gingerbread with the rom of your choice

Stock 2.3.6 GB ROM

I've been searching and searching... Either the Links are dead the forum is closed, so many different things. But I'm searching for an Untouched aka Unrooted deodexed etc. 2.3.6 GB ROM that I can use as a base ROM to play around with development wise. If someone could give me a link or something I'd be so grateful.
Thank you,
Malicious
There isn't an "unrooted" deodexted version of any 2.3.6 stock rom ...only untouched ones arebthe ones to flash with Odin...the only "deodexed" versions are my rooted cwm flashable versions.

Is this what you're looking for?
I flashed it using odin and it worked perfect....

[Q] Downgrade from gingerbread?

Good morning..
Couldn't find an exact thread, but long story short:
I'm failing at trying to root my 2.3.6 gingerbread infuse,
and from what I've read, it's just so much easier doing it on froyo.
How can I downgrade to froyo?
Thanks in advance-
here you go

You can Odin to froyo...or you could Odin to a pre rooted gingerbread
Check out the super thread and just choose one of the pre rooted odins or hemidals
A pre rooted Odin/hemidal pretty much flashes/installes stock system but its already rooted for you
I suggest qksters uclb3 hemidal-thats the latest gingerbread leak

theres some custom roms that are stock but debloated ( useless apps on stocks)
one on my head is vagabond
