THANK YOU!!!
You can use Thomas' Gremling Remover too.
I Odin raver's kc1 cleanup rom with boot loaders checked, then stock kj6 with bootloaders checked and then antonx's Odin basic with a twist kernel. The kc1 cleanup from is a little hard to find search for "hawk". That takes the phone back to the original froyo that came with the phone. It used to be a chore to get voodoo lag fix working but antonx's kernel automates the process. Once you get there you have a working cwm and you can flash any gb rom you like.

It's easier if he just uses Thomas' Gremling Remover, then flash Anton's Basic with a Twist kernel. Two steps. That seems a bit complicated, getting back to Froyo to go GB. A few days ago I was checking the ROMs in the Bible and most old ROM links don't work since back then Multiupload was used and that webpage is dead. No to be rude, just saying. Whatever helps is good.
The cleanup rom is four files a pit a csc a phone and the large md5 file. The kc1 cleanup rom is the old school way but it's very reliable and cleans everything off putting the phone back to factory stock.

I could never get any of the heimdall methods to work, and I haven't seen a four part kj6 stock rom with the pit, Csc, and phone files along with the pda file. Maybe those other three files are the same for froyo and gingerbread. We used to have to go back to froyo to get voodoo lag fix working but I remember odining just the stock kj6 file and getting boot loops or some other problem. If you've already downloaded the files it's very simple to do the three steps and once you Odin the antonx kernel it goes right into the lag fix restore. I've been back and forth this last week.

The funny thing is my oneclick is basically everything the odin method does in one shot.
Raver helped me get all the right components to put into the oneclick, and tested it for me... back when he had an sgs4g. My stock rom comes with pit, the csc update (which doesn't flash if you have the /sdcard/Voodoo stuff enabled), and all the other stuff you said.
All you have to do is get off your bum and remove the odin drivers, install the new drivers that come with heimdall and forget about being stuck to using windows. Now you can flash from linux, mac os x, and windows.
YEAY!!!

I recently just flashed my phone about 10 minutes ago to Krylons STOCK + Root VUVKB5 Rom, and it everything went through. The files got installed and i rebooted my system. then when it restarted it stalls at the big "S" sign, then it just goes to a black screen. does it mean I've bricked it or no? Can anyone help me out here.
If you can get into download mode after pulling the battery, you should be fine.
Just ODIN back to KD1 deodexed and you should be set
You soft bricked. Odin kc1 deodexed from the bible thread. I hear kd1 has a faulty partition or something. that is weird that kb5 didn't work. Did you check your mounts and wipe everything properly?

The option for the noobs guide to ODIN, that's the exact one I followed. I downloaded Krylon's file for STOCK + Root.
Everything went flawlessly, then it rebooted just like it said. then It goes to the Big S. Then screen goes black. Vibrates 3 times. And the "Menu-Home-Back-Search" Keys still are lit. Is that a Soft brick? And whats KC1 Deodexed.
that is a soft brick. trying using odin with the kc1 rom instead of the kb5 rom. download the rom from the second link and use that instead of the kb5 rom

deodexed = post 3. (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-evo-4g/130398-odexed-vs-deodexed.html)
busybox = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox
bloat = the programs that originally come with the phone...but you dont need and take up space
root= gives you access to the entire phone. lets you flash roms and basically do whatever you want with it.
if you dont know what you are doing, you should read up on everything prior to doing anything on the phone. research is key here because you can hard brick your phone and it will be useless. (worst case)
What is the best way to return to stock to get rid of ghosts from past Roms? I've use Odin dozens of times on my Vibrant to return to stock, but I've never had to do it on the SGS4G before. Should I Odin back to KD1, or back to KJ6. I'm on the newest Valhalla Rom right now. I searched but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Thanks in advance.
I would follow the gb starter pack. And format your sd card completely.

best ways are to use krylons odin to kb1, fb ext 4 starter pack, heimdall back to stock kf1 by adam or heimdal to kj6 by adamoutler. Restoring apps with system data might bring back some old ghosts, better to start fresh.

To get rid of ghosts. Flash a froyo rom without removing GB bootloaders. Boot into cwm, go to mounts. Format data cache, and system. (go to froyo rom because you can't format system on GB yet), then flash your favorite KJ6 rom, eg. AOSP style.

Try flashing RaverX3X's KC1. Here's the link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129933
Put PIT into PIT, REV00 (largest file) into PDA, Phone into PHONE, and CSC into CSC in Odin.
Do not touch the other settings and flash.
That pretty much gets rid of everything. After that, you can do whatever you want again.

That worked for me. I went between my ICS and GB backup quite a few times, starting the day that the leak came out.
I would also like to go back to GB.. just too many little things that are annoying the crap out of me.. PLUS Im randomly getting sleep of death..
Having said that, I used the nandroid restore file as I could not use the flash because I am on Rogers..
Is going back to a GB rom as simple as grabbing the rom and flashing it from cwm?
You should be able to restore fron your nandriod backup. You can even flash the proper radio back if needed.

Battery consumption on the leaked ICS is just too much for me. Android System in the battery page is shown to be quite consuming. I am already using Titanium to freeze bloatware and also running SetCPU.

I've done it about five times now. It's very easy IF you have a nandroid backup of your old GB or someone's backup. You can either use darkside wipes or DIY wipes and it will get you back to where you were prior to ICS-leak mania.

Hi all, just need a little clarification please. I`ve been searching the forums but so far, no luck.
I have a SGS2 from rogers and have recently flashed an ICS rom (I also flashed a new kernel and radio). I want to go back to stock gingerbread. I have a CWM backup that I made right after rooting the device.
That leaves me with a few questions:
Since the CWM backup won`t set my radio back to what it used to be, do I have to do it manually?
If I don't, will everything still work fine with the I727UCALC4 radio even if i`m on gingerbread.
Thank you in advance for the responses. I just don't want to miss any steps and end up with a paperweight!!
I'm in the same boat - I did manage to find the stock radio for the rogers i727r but I cannot find the stock i727r kernel. If anyone here knows if it is the same as the ATT version please let me know.
the files I have are ..
i727_stock_kernel_odin.tar < I believe this is the ATT stock kernel
Radio_RIL__I727RUXKJ7.zip < Rogers i727 radio
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA
I also want to go back to GB. If I get the correct Tar file, and open Odin, then target the .tar file and click start, is that the correct process?
Nvm IM going to do it. If i hose it no biggy as this sunday I'll be getting a new phone anyways.

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me if I can run a gingerbread rom with an ICS radio (I727UCALC4)?? Does it matter? I thought that CWM just restored the original rom and kernel but did not modify the radio??? Thanks.
I have searched but found no specific instructions on how to do this, other than use Odin and the firmware file from SamMobile.com. I have downloaded both of these but now I don't know what to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would give me the rest of the instructions. Thanks in advance.

simply use the sammobile .tar instead of the k0nane listed in the thread.
Also...fyi: I just did this the other day...if you get lots of "force close" go to "settings"..."privacy"..."factory data rest"
that should get you back to stock...2.3.5
if you want to get back to 2.3.6, you can perform "software update" for OTA from ATT.
I was having lots of connectivity issues with ICS leaks, so I went back to GB too.

The only issue with using the nandroid backup to go from ICS --> GB would be that the modem is not included in the backup, and therefore would not be restored. I'm not sure the ICS modems will work once the GB nandroid backup is restored.
If anyone can confirm or deny the above, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
If your concern is the bug reported in the ICS leaks then a full restore to GB would be what you want to do.
Use the Sammobile tar.
This thread (as previously pointed out) has the instructions for flashing the tar. You should read it completely.
This post in the thread explains that you have to extract the files from the zip you DL from Sammobile and then flash the file ending in .md5 with Odin. Partial quote:

Using a nandroid BU does not install all of the original files. As pointed out one thing not replaced by the nandroid is the radio. To get back completely to stock using the Sammobile tar and Odin appears to be the best way.

Anyway, I did this twice: I did it once with the UKK (Gingerbread 2.3.5 [the second one]) build without bootloaders. When the phone wouldn't boot, and stayed stuck at the AT&T logo, I decided to use Odin again, using the UCKJ3 (Gingerbread 2.3.5 [the first one]) build with bootloaders. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T boot screen again, and nothing is changing. I can get to download mode, but what should I do from here?

1: Haven't tried Heimdall. Good idea.
2: I've tried getting into recovery, but the screen never blinks or anything-- it just stays on the ATT screen without any sort of response or any sign of life other than that
3: I'm pretty sure that I had upgraded from Gingerbread, so I don't think that this would apply.
Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I'm short on time right now but maybe in a little bit ill be able to try these out. Thanks for your input!

Before you apply Stock KK4. you must flash the very first stock ROM for you to update to Gingerbread,
From 2.1-2.3

Not true, you can flash straight to any firmware as long as your bootloader situation is all good.

So I tried the one-click you posted, as well as Heimdall. The screen still stays on the ATT logo :crying:
However, I just noticed something on my computer; it seems the phone is showing signs of life, just not on the screen (still stuck at that beautiful ATT screen); Windows seems to momentarily recognize the phone, but then shows the error message that I'll post as an attachment.
Some of the Captivates do not like the one clicks. So try flashing through the regular Odin this firmware. (it does contain bootloaders, so flash at ur own risk). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19587108
U can get Odin3 v1.83 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33577757
When flashing any firmware that contains bootloaders, be sure ur pc/laptop has a constant power source, u have a reliable usb/micro usb cable, use a usb port in the back of the pc (not a hub), and don't let anything disconnect the cable during the flashing of the bootloaders (boot.bin and sbl.bin). The possibility of a hard brick comes in when there is a bad bootloader flash, mix matched bootloaders, etc. And once u have the GB KK4 bootloaders there is no need to flash any bootloaders again....ever.

Progress! Now I get the phone-to-computer error message, should be an easy flash from here. Anyway, I'll see what happens, and ill let you know if anything good comes out of this. Thanks for the idea
EDIT: No dice, I'm back to the ATT Screen
