Im not rooted, and I'm using the newest GB build. I would like to go back to MR2, is there a way to do this? The RUU i tried does not work, it won't let me go to an older firmware.
I believe you have to be rooted to go back to a older firmware.

Hey guys,
GPS Isn't working, and I need LBSTestMode, since I don't have it right now after upgrading to 2.3.4.
Where or which firmware do I download from here:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
or wherever else that is 2.2.1 and will work on the Galaxy S 4G.
I'm in Canada on the Bell network.
Thanks!
Check out the bible in the dev section. It has links to every rom we have for the sgs4g. There are odin versions and cwm. If your looking for it you can,most likely find it there.

Well it doesn't have 2.2.1
I'm looking for the official Stock Firmware which I'm just going to root later on.
Isn't kd1 2.2.1? Or flash kb5 then use mini kies to update it to stock

Yes. But after OTA root & custom recovery is out.
Have the Stock, Rooted AT&T version they just were selling at Best Buy. Don't attempt the OTA update. when I did this morning, the phone rebooted to the exclamation/android screen. thankfully pulling the battery let it boot back to normal. I may have to un-root in order to install 2.3.6.

That is called recovery, and it is how updates get installed.

So you don't have CWM or TWRP installed?
No, I don't think so. All I did was copy tar file in odin and flash. Nothing more.

Just got the notice in Colorado
I have CWM installed. I guess I need t remove it to install the OTA. What's the best approach?

Why bother? The leaked version and the OTA are the same thing.

This! Leaked is now official...the build number didn't change so there is nothing to gain by taking the OTA.
I understand your point. Even so, if I were to decide to flash back to stock in order to update ota, I am able to just put my phone in odin mode and flash the stock ics Rom over my leaked vrblk3 Rom, correct?

Yes. Depending on which Odin file you flash, it may fully wipe your internal storage (including all your pictures, etc.), so make sure you read before you flash and backup your data accordingly! If you really want the OTA though, why not flash the Odin file for the JB OTA? That is the same thing as going back to stock, you'll just be fully updated already.

Ok, thank you. And as far as using the odin file jelly bean, I new nothing about it. I'm new to this custom stuff and it seems that I need to keep everything up to date manually. If there were automatic updates and what not I'd be more apt to running custom roms.

Where you on ICS leak1 or leak2/ota before flashing scv7? If on leak1 then there is a way to revert back to GB. If on leak2/ota then you are stuck with ICS based roms.

I think since you are one OTA ICS you cannot revert back to GB.

Is it an Indian MB865 Atrix 2, if yes then you can revert back to stock gingerbread or stock ICS using proper fxz script.
I know, because i was on the final ICS OTA, when my Atrix2 bootlooped and i had to FXZ back to GB 2.3.5.
Also, when my phone bootlooped with Cyanogen mod, i fxz back to stock ICS.

I have the ATT skyrocket rooted and unlocked when I first got the phone in 2011, and is on 4.04. I remember that the post said that I must unroot if I want to upgrade the rom OTA from ATT. Is there any other way to upgrade to the latest stockrom without unroot? I cannot find the post I originally referenced to root/unlock.

^^ what he said. Just get the .tar file from sammobile.com and flash using Odin. You will lose root after this process.
If you want to update using kies (the update is not ota. You have to use kies. ) then s long as kies detects your phone and you have a stock recovery, you should be OK.
However, I believe that you will loose your apps and data with both the methids.. So just use Odin

Thank you very much. I should be able to re-root after the upgrade, correct? Or the lastest 4.1.2 cannot be rooted yet?
I have problem with Odin before, never got anything done with it. Let me try it this time.

Yes you can root the new jb using the same procedure as before.

If your rooted why not just flash a stock rom with the newest update. That will save you the trouble of dealing with Odin.

Trouble? Odin is as simple as place file in pda and click start. I don't see any trouble there....

I meant it more of an hassle. Plug in Odin then uproot do the update then reroot. Just seems so much easier to flash a stock base rom.

Why would you unroot to do the update via Odin. I believe your logic is flawed here. Although I do agree an install would be expeditious via recovery, your argument is flawed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Just FYI - I was on rooted stock, and just did the update with Kies without unrooting. Now i'm on JB unrooted as a result.
