[Q] Downgrading from ICS leak to GB

Can anyone offer a way to downgrade without creating a brick? I want to try using Odin to flash back to stock 2.3.x but don't want to have a risk of brick.

There's always a risk

Just restore your nandroid backup and done

If you don't want the risk of bricking stay stock

we need the correct pit file so we can re partition the device in odin to gb without bricking the device.
Odin one click partitions the device for ics that is why the internal memory card gets wiped. if someone can figureout how to extract the one click file and get the pit for that we may be able to rebuild the pit for gb with a mount list from stock gb.

Just use ODIN to flash the I727 firmware from SamMobile. It'll restore GB and the correct baseband at the same time without tripping the counter. When I did it, it actually saved and ported my apps and user data back into the GB firmware. I'm not sure what that was about, but it was kina nice. Of course, the phone wasn't rooted after the flash so some of the apps (that require superuser) wouldn't function, but it didn't matter because I used ODIN to install CWM and then just restored the last nandroid I did before I flashed the ICS leak. You can also use CWM to flash whatever baseband you want because the nandroid won't do that.

If you try doing just this without the other steps you are just about guaranteed a brick!
EDIT...I see were some have had luck using a nandroid to get from GB to ICS, but it only seems to work for some. I have not seen anything about going from ICS to GB with a nandroid. Personally, I think it best to just use stock firmware ODIN method until things are ironed out a bit more.

I nandroid back to gb from ics just fine, but I highly recommend u use the darksode script first and then restore backup, it configures partitons for u.

All I did to go back to GB is full wipe then flash the GB rom I wanted then rebooted. I'm even using the UCLA4 BB and working fine for me.

Thanks for all the responses. It seems that this question has been answered in the dev thread now that there are some custom CWMs. Mod, please delete this thread as needed. ^^

I just did a nandroid restore from ICS Leak to GB backup. just like that. worked great.
That ICS leak is just too unstable yet. too many lock ups. and alot of black screens,
I like GB. I thought i would be able to stick with the ICS but maybe when a more stable release comes out.

Which ICS rom are you talking about lol? There's a least 3 in the android development section that are quite stable, and have none of the problems you're talking about::
ICS Superlite - MHX

[Q] Fail to update 2.3.6 after stock flash Skyrocket i727

Can any one tell me what i did wrong?
I used a I727UCALC4_OneClick package to flash my at&t i727 to android 4.0.3. For some reason my home button and search button did not work so i said to return back to stock.
I flashed the phone with SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane thru ODIN to return to stock 2.3.5 . I then tried to do a OTA update to 2.3.6. The update downloads and starts installing , reboots the phone and fails to finish.
Any help please ? Thanks

I tried doing this myself last night. Remember you will lose your root once taking it to 2.3.5, so re root using Odin, then, reboot. Then follow the root instructions as outlined by user k0nane here at xda. Then get into clockwork mod recovery mode and restore to the backup version you did of 2.3.6...much easier process than trying to flash stock. Hope that helps.

You might have renamed the backup, the backup might be corrupt, or you did the backup with a different version of cwm than you are trying to restore it with.

If this helps I got here a copy of my mhx lite 2.3.6 I made before going to 4.0.3

so cwm doesnt restore a backup if it was not made with the same cwm version ?

i was able to fix the md5 mismatch and it restored successfully, however it does not boot now. It stalls and the samsung logo.

Try using the restore I linked, something just seems wrong with yours

Its mhx superlite 3.1 but if the rom will work you can later on flash whatever you want. Atm you seem to be stuck with an unusable phone so anything is better.

Go to sammobile.com
make an account
go to firmware section
type i727 in the box
scroll down and download the tar
extract with 7zip
Flash in odin
Then drink beer and such

i was able to flash tru cwm a att rom that worked. Everything works ok now.
It is possible to transfer my data from the backup into this working rom ?

Just flash modem. To match firmware....

Load the correct rom on your sd card using an sdreader or even a smart phone. Then boot your tablet into recovery and wipe and reflash

How to back to GB from CyanogenMod 10 alpha 4 by dhiru?

Hii guys,i already ask this in official thread of cm 10 by dhiru but i can't understand,i can't get what dhiru say about don't flash modem in odin,and here is the step if i want to go back from cm 10 or cm9 by dhiru
1.repartition from odin
2.took and the battery and place it
3.flash xxkpe pda,modem,bootloader,csc
4.wait until phone booting and reset all data(press *2767*3855# in dialpad)
5.flash xxkpe all file again
And that's the right procedure?

without pit or with pit?:silly:

I'm not sure bro but what you mentioned is the right way to go back to GB. But im not sure what did Dhiru told you about modem. What im doing is i have my backup custom rom of GB. So if i want to go back to GB i just restore it from CWM.

dude, a very simple instruction from Dhiru, do not flash modem with odin, it will corrupt your partition of CM alpha 4 which is using MTP system.
Alfix, have explain that use adb push to push the modem.bin of your choose to the /radio partition if you face radio issue or use a CWM flash zip to flash in recovery mode.
so, due to the new mtp partition system introduce by Dhriu CM10 alpha 4, the odin will not be use to flash anything. including the custom kernel.
how to go back to stock? you need to use odin with pit file, Lalotion case is a accident.
1. makesure your odin can detect your phone....
2. flash pit file first or together with XXKPE tar with or without bootloader. DON'T tell me it wont work, me and most of the member have done that, IT WORK!!
3. after flash KPE, your phone will reboot as normal.

Your method is quite confuaing me. For doing restore kernel.should be same which was used at the time of backup. GB kernel is entirely different from cm10 kernel. Then how u restore it??

Hey guys I need some help, this is my daughter's phone, the problem she's having as its footing Samsung screen and thats it . I've tried to flash a stock firmware Odin, I also have tried factory reset a master reset with no luck. I'm wondering if anybody can give me some pointers on what to look for what to do I've actually installed twirp to try to put a custom ROM on it and I'm not quite sure how to slide the ROM overseeing I cannot download the ROM directly to the phone. Sorry this is all over the place I'm scrambling between two phones a laptop and a tablet trying to read information on how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance guys I know we can figure it out

So if you're having prolems with preload partition you need this:
PRELOAD PARTITION RESTORER
* [12-MAY-2013] The following CWM zip will restore your preload partition. You would need this in case you are restoring EMBRYO-7.x from a nandroid or you messed up the preload partition. In case of Nandroid restore, do it after you restored in the *same* session (that is flash it before you reboot). preload-restore-EMBRYO-7.x-cwm.zip
Please check the MD5SUM for all downloads on YOUR phone (not on the PC e.g). Source
