Samsung Galaxy S 4G
My phone came with Froyo 2.2.1 when I bought it. Later on I updated it to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using kies mini. After updating to 2.3.6 I tried flashing back to froyo using odin but then my phone got bricked but i fixed it. After fixing it my phone went to Gingerbread 2.3.5 then I used odin again to go to GB 2.3.6. Now I want to go back to 2.2.1 Froyo the way how my phone came like. I want to go back to froyo because the wifi is weak now that I have gingerbread. So is there any way that I can go back to Froyo 2.2.1 if i currently have gingerbread 2.3.6? If its possible can please someone post a easy tutorial to do because I would like to go back.
Thanks
The WiFi issue is a placebo effect t. It has been proven Samsung used some witchcraft to make it appear stronger. I still connect to my routers for the same range I just don't see them if they are just out of range. The WiFi radio on the his device is not the greatest.

You need to register then search t959v. You wanna DL KD1. Then look for a guide to using ODIN and flash.
Ok I went on the website and Im downloading the PDA: T959VUVKD1 ## and CSC: T959VTMBKD1. Would I just need the Modem and thats it? Could i get the Froyo KD1 modem from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 and put each thing in its place in ODIN and which things do I put a check next to on ODIN? Could this brick my phone? Can anyone tell me a guide how to do this?
Can he just Keis back to Froyo, or has it been so long that anyone was trying to flash Froyo that it is Gingerbread only?

I dont know what the CSC File for ODIN? So would it be okay like i said above if i put the T959VUVKD1 in PDA and kd1.tar.md5 in the modem and it will flash back my phone to froyo 2.2.1 if im on gingerbread 2.3.6? If im doing it on ODIN to i click re-partition?
Please someone help!
It's been a long time since anyone wanted to be on Froyo. As I recall, Gingerbread flashes a new bootloader, so it is likely non-trivial to go back.
The binaries for Froyo may also be hard to come by here as many were hosted in sites since shuttered by the FBI.
If you really want to go back, you should have some patience or dig through the archives here to see if you can find anything.
You might want to flash one of the recent custom builds of GB while you wait to see if you prefer them to stock. I didn't much like the stock bloat but enjoyed Valhalla Black when I was on GB. FB's version is in my sig. There are a couple other versions of GB that have been more recently updated as well.

Ok..I always try to figure it out by searching the forums...could not get there this time. I had Humbles rom on the phone...then I realized I should update my Baseband...so the mission starts.. I started on Basband ep3 on both the first and second lines..after reading it sounded like I needed to flash back to stock to get the update to ee4....I first deactivated voodo by adding the file directly ...reset phone then waited while the sexy voice said it was deactivated... then I flashed the stock rom...when I powered up the the phone on stock ...it did download the update...while installing the update it crashes and does not install correctly...so after messing around I re-flashed the stock rom and then downloaded the update again.....same thing happened.....then after reading some more I thought maybe my partitions where jacked so I flashed charge.pit ...now my phone wouldn't even show signs of life...stressing a bit ....I was able to flash Hummble 4.0 which brought my phone back to life...happy that it is working I'm now back where I originally started but now I'm on Ep1...even worse than before I started..lol
Does anyone have any ideas why it would not update? any help would be great!
Ep3 is the newest radio version. Ep1 is the second newest. And ee4 is the oldest. So you were really trying to unupdate. You are fine with the ep1 modems. But if you want to upgrade flash the ep3h radios through Odin.

Here ya go - EP3 Modem
The only reason you ever need to go back to stock is if you want to "unroot" your phone or to fix soft bricks. The baseband version corrosponds to the type of radios your phone is running (how you get your signal). And the radios are always independent of your ROM. Here's a short overview of the different radios from beginning to present.
ED1: Original charge modem. (sucked).
ED2: still sucks.
EE4: Latest official update for the droid charge. This is the radio that most Froyo Roms are based off of.
<I'm going to skip over a few because they are kind of non-existant now>
EP1Q: A leaked Gingerbread Radio. Significant improvements in signal strength.
EP1W: Improves upon EP1Q radio by handling data switching better. (A lot of Gingerbread ROMS are based off of this radio).
EP3H: The newest radio and probably the best. Some small improvements in data switching and got rid of occasional "popping" sounds from EP1W radio. Most of the newest ROMS use this radio as a base (Meaning they are optimized to use this radio).
Long story short, use the latest Radios. They always bring improvements. =)
i am selling my phone and want to flash back to stock for the new owner so they can get updates. Right now im running KK4. Can I Use odin One Click back to 2.1 then let Kies update to 2.2 with out bootloader problems? Will Odin or kies change my gingerbread bootloaders. I dont know much about rules of bootloaders. Any help would be greatly appreciated and repped.
Thanks
I highly doubt There will be updates...
Stick with kk4.
Or you could just flash a 2.2 package and skip the kies step. Bootloaders are backwards compatible. Ginger boots work with earlier versions of Android.
I want to make sure kies updates just in case AT&T releases gingerbread for the captivate. Also im having battery drain problems with kk4.
hardly anyone ever gets keis to work after custom roms, and if you want 2.2 the odin flash 2.2. why odin flash 2.1 then upgrade? dont make no sense!
and when gingerbread does get released, it will be ALL OVER THIS PLACE!!! new Odin flashes, new roms, new source, new kernels, new theads.... MINUTES AFTER RELEASE. Waaaayyyyyy before you would notice by randomly checking with keis....
xda.
not keis.
The point is to get this phone truly stock so who ever buys it can get ota or keis updates if there happen to be any in the future.

Search for Stock KB2 by Adam Outler.
I just did this when I had to replace my cappy (power button wouldn't respond half the time). I flashed back to 2.1 with the one click from DG then used kies to update to 2.2 with no problem.
I like to recommend kb2 now because a lot of refurbs and later builds came with that build. Also, trying to flash a Froyo shipped device with JF6 well cause a bootloop. So, as a blanket statement I say use KB2.
Ive had my samsung infuse rooted and something happened? had to reboot back to stock... superoneclick seems to get stuck and not root my phone!! does it not work anymore? even when i download it from shortfuse... Ive dissabled usb debug....ive enabled usb debug....nothing works help
yeah I had the same issue with super one click on stock stock from GTG's unbrick
you may want to update to UCKE5/one or two builds above the stock build.
thanks how do i get this? from where? I cannot seem to get my cwm to open in the red!
you could probably just run this in odin to get back to UCKE3 which was stock in North America if you bought the phone a month after it came out. (Was stock for my phone when I bought it a month after it came out anyway).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112555
This has the bonus of already being rooted btw.
Anyway, UCKD5 is the rom that doesn't work with superoneclick properly from what I can tell which was stock when it came out and is GTG's ultimate unbricker's rom.
Don't use the pit because you most likely won't need it (your phone boots and all that stuff, right. If so, don't bother with repartitioning)
From here you're rooted and can setup modified 3E with root explorer and CWM with whatever you wanna use to set it up.
I used "[ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e)" (from Super Thread) to get to stock.
Then went to market and loaded SGS Kernel Flasher.
Then I downloaded Infused GB Core A2 kernel.
After I flashed the kernel, I had red CWM and went from there. Worked really well!
issues still
Download? How? Multiupload no good! mega no good either
They've been mirrored. I think. Not near pc.. No mirrors from me.

Okay so i got my phone (US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize SCH-I500) from ebay and it came with gb 2.3.4 originally and i updated to 2.3.5 then later on to 2.3.6. After doing some homework i want to get back to froyo 2.2.2 but i cant!! I tried to flash back to EE19 via odin and it bricked my phone. Then tried flashing back to EC10 and it worked but what happens is it has no signal whatsoever (baseband is uknown/no phone number) pretty much everything is unknown except the build number/firmware version :crying: I just don't get what i'm doing wrong here guys. Every time i try to make the *228 phone call to activate it, it says phone is in airplane mode go to settings to turn it off to enable connections but it's not in airplane mode!!! I factory reset it took out the battery but nothing works!! Although i was able to flash back to 2.3.4 via odin and root it. But still i want to go back to froyo :/ Please someone help me get back to a working froyo :crying: I would so appreciate this if anyone can look into this for me for i am fairly new to android but i'm getting the hang of it If you figure this issue out get a hold of me anyway you can thanks everyone!!!

You cannot go back to GB from ICS using CWM. You have to use one of the heimdall one clicks or an Odin tar. Reason being that our ICS roms are MTD and GB (except CM7) is BML. Basically fancy talk for different file systems.
MTD vs. BML
