[Solved] How to downgrade to Froyo 2.2.1 from VillainROM 1.0 for Galaxy ACE S5830

Hi all,
I bought new Sansung Galaxy ACE (Froyo 2.2.1)
I flashed with Custom ROM VillainROM 1.0 (the only ROM available for ACE)..
But now I wants to downgrade to 2.2.1 back..since VillainROM is having few bugs..
I tried following steps but could not succeed..
a) Download Stock ROM from samfirmware.com
b) Download Cooper.ops file from above source.
c) Flashed with Odin...selected one package option
Every thing was going right..but when Odin flash a message " -------wait for reboot....." (which is generally appears every time when we flash normally) my phone did not restart...I tried 3-4 time ...but nothing happened..even I was not able to restart by cell
Then I re-flashed with VillainROM, my cell was flashed perfectly..!!!
Then again tried stock ROM...but again same..nothing happened..
Now the problem is when ever i tried to flash with stock rom..no results..but when with VillainROM..its perfectly flashed..
Can any one help..?
Note: I have downloaded every thing twice to confirm corrupt files..

U need to download from samfirmware a multi file froyo package (so that include APBOOT). After succesfuly instal Froyo again you can flash with the latest (prefered) one package release.

Good job, thanks so much.
I was sick I let it through my fingers when I updated!

Thank you, I have been waiting for this ;0)

the file in the archive is dated 14.04.2011... it's genuine GB SBF?
anyway, thanks!

Downloaded this file by MSU
it's genuine GB SBF

Hi,
I have run Recuva over my file system. I could not recover the sbf, but the file name, modified time and size were found.
They match perfectly the file I downloaded from mpieq.
Cheers, as far as I'm concerned that is the real thing.
Olly

Works great! Thanks very much.
Now then... who is going to produce a theme so it looks like leaked / 2.3.3 that wouldnt work with the unfortunate green camera devices?

Was on early 2.2.1 - wanted to upgrade in case of warranty issues.
Flashed with RSD Lite. New Red Motorola logo with white rings when phone starts, but had to pull battery and re-boot manually.
Phone is upgraded with all contacts, settings etc as before.
Just had to root phone with superoneclick to get Titanium back-up and SetVSL running.
30 mins start to finish. Many thanks

You're luck. After upgrade mine boot up but with all settings and apps restored, however it after rooting it wasn't stable. Got to do factory reset and... for a first time used TiBu to restore my apps - works flawlessly . The only issue was the lack of Polish Swype (got it with Eclair) but used the one from CEE ROM and it works flawlessly.

mine simply has lost his Haptic Feedback... it must be restarted to gain his capabilities restored. is losing also his WiFi (with error message in wifi and network settings) and the data connection...
any ideas? could be from the JuiceDefender wrong resources management?

I am on motorola defy with formware version 2.51.1. If I upgrade to this will I lose my root, if I lose root can this be rooted by SuperOneClick.
Does it have blur is without Blur, I ma looking for something without Blur.

With Blur or without Blur?

I am looking for without Blur.If I upgrade to this will I lose my root, if I lose root can this be rooted by SuperOneClick.

This ROM is blurred. I flashed it over 2.2.1 (the UK 3.4.3-11 ROM), which I had previously successfully rooted via SOC (in fact, an older version, from months ago), but, as, at first, for strict test purposes, I decided not to wipe anything at all after flashing this ROM, the root condition (just like all my applications and settings) was kept as it was before. My Defy is in this very state ever since.
By the way, I haven't noticed differences between the two ROMs.
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos

i have installed the full sbf
no problems with haptic feedback.
all looks fine and smooth..blur is also working nice ..even you can skip the setup.
just the 3g gets stucks up when the phone is idle..(the "H" is shown but the arrows ↑↓ are greyed out ..i have to reconfigure the apn and set it again to get it working.
Guys ne thoughts on this 3g problem..?? i have used defy baseband to switch my baseband for india.
EDIT :: solved the problems....i think this is problem free blur rom so far ...!! kudos to motorola uk..!!
note :: i didnt download from any links given here..i had some other source.

Their is some problem with the link? I have tried to download 3 times, but corrupt file...

If I wanted to go from the Korean 177 base sbf with cm7 rc1 installed to this what would be the procedure? Is it as simple as doing it through rsdlite or through the 2nd init recovery?
Thanks

Removing ClockWorkMod recovery

Hi guys, I need your help!
Yesterday I updated my phone from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Kies, then I rooted it trough Odin and flashed the recovery with ClockWorkMod recovery (i followed the guide, and made everything it asked to do). I completed the task succesfully. But here comes the problems:
I turned the phone on and I wanted to use Wi-Fi connection but I couldn't! It was just saying "error" and in settings the MAC address was unavaiable. I found something on the web, like trying to dial *#*#526#*#* but it didn't work too ("Driving loading unsuccessful").
So I wanted to bring the phone back to the previous state, So i unrooted it (succesfully) but now I'm stuck with this ClockWorkMod recovery and I can't find a way to restore the original Samsung i9003 recovery because i can't find it anywhere and I don't even know if I can use another Samsung's one.
I tought that maybe reinstalling Gingerbread from zero could fix this problem, but I'm not even sure of that, neither on how to reinstall it. Damn, I'm truly an Android n00b
Thanks to everyone that will spend some time helping me!
If it can help, here some infos about my phone

Now, Do you want a guide on how to re-flash back to Gingerbread using ODIN? If so,It is here. And, I would like to tell you that on re-flashing the FW, you are going to void your warranty and you will be able to get rid of the CWM
Hope it helped you!

hi OP
I'm facing the same problem as you, right now waiting for dxkp9 download and reflash with Odin.
But if you somehow manage to solve this issue please share.

Hi!
I tried and I tried and I solved it! I flashed back the stock rom of I9003 with Gingerbread trough Odin. This removed ClockWorkMod and restored the phone as it was in the beginning. Problem solved, original recovery mode and wi-fi finally works!

But there again repeated cyclic restart, but it is not working WI FI Bluetooth, NFC for work. I can not understand the smartphone fully working, why stop vayfay and bluetooth does not work? Read all forums and many of the same problem with not working Wifi and Bluetooth. Prompt, whether there is a solution?:смущенный: Smart SONY XPERIA L

I couldn't understand the question clearly .
Could explain it to me??!
If the WiFi didn't work after flashing the latest firmware I think you should Check the ftf file maybe it's not for c2105 (or you mobile model) COZ I read that the different between these two devices is just networking, So get the suitable one for your device model(if this was the question)

Model- C2104
At first everything was working fine in original firmware ,
Even after flashing cm12.1 everything was fine,
once updated to cm13 later there is a problem of wifi and bluetooth sometimes it works fine and at some point mobile will reboot by itself later on both wifi and bluetooth doesn't work (They cant be turned on)
I re flashed original firmware,
re flashed cm12.1,Even tried many roms (Thunderzap,Resurrection_Remix,Temasek) but still problem remains same.

Try this it may work:
First of all try to change the ftf file (download other one)
If didn't work flash this boot.IMG via fastboot on stock ROM just on stock ROM.
After flashing it flash the kernal and Fota kernal from the same ftf via flashtool .
As I told you flash it on stock ROM then flash the kernal and the fora kernal

Thanks to @Joel16 for the link
I mean by kernal the kernal in the ftf exclude everything while flashing in flashtool except the kernal and the fota kernal

I'm having the same issue. But it started out of nowhere, so I'm guessing its a hardware problem.
After it happened, I flashed almost every kind of ROM and Kernel around here. Nothing worked.
Also I flashed the official Sony's firmware for my country and it still not working.
Tried the PC Companion's repair function, didn't work too.
When I try to turn WIFI on, I get a "fail to load wifi driver" message at logcat.
I'm not new into flashing ROMs, so I'm almost sure it is not a system issue despite the error message I get.
