Is it possible to flash from jellybean back to ice cream sandwich?
Say if I flash from a jellybean miui to cwm10 then cwm9 then miui ICS does anyone know if it will take or are the system structure too different?
Or just flash to ICS miui, just format system, caches and remount then flash, ICS miui
Or the only answer is to Odin to gingerbread and work my way up, again?

Sir, please do not post question threads in the Development Section, Thank you and Moved
You have to go to stock...there is no bml (old file system format) conversion script at the moment

More specifically you have to use an external program like heimdall or Odin to repartition your device.
There is a link in the OP of cm10 for a Odin method with PIT (partition file)

Yes, I have done this. ( not with odin, only used CWM )
What I have found is from ICS you have to flash a GB rom, as in a new, fresh flash. Then if you have a backup of that rom you can successfully restore it thru CWM.

Time to flash off this very old version of gingerbread. CWM is on GB now right? What is the most updated link for it? Krylons?
Oh, and same procedure as froyo or do I need anything else to get it going?

What im more curious about is which CWM to use. Will Krylon's work or do I need an updated one?
You will have to Odin drhonks cwm kennel after you flash kg4 and it will give you cwm for gb. Don't worry about the other versions

Hi there,
I have flashed CM10, I have backed up my original gb ROM, but before flashing CM10 forgot to backup CM9, so is it possible to restore gb direct from CM10 or I should flash ÇM9?

You mean a nandroid backup? If I recall correctly, nandroid backups between GB and CM10 are not compatible (because of the different partition layout). So you should first flash a GB ROM with the same CWM you used to do the backup and then restore from there.
PS: I found this out there:
Nandroid backups of CM7 (Gingerbread), CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and CM10 (Jelly Bean) are incompatible with each other. Before you restore from a nandroid backup, make sure you’re running the correct version of Android.

AFAIK, there is no other way except flashing stock rom by ODIN. I've tried to restore gb from cwm, result - soft-bricked phone.
Also i think this thread should be in a different part of i9000 forum, maybe Q&A, am i right?

Correct.
CM10 has a completely different partition structure to Samsung ROMs.
To downgrade, you need to use Odin/Heimdall
Just Odin -> 2.3.5 -> Root -> Nandroid. Winner
simply use odin
what about flashing stock gb rom in cwm ?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda premium
Just flash a stock rom (ex. JW5) in Odin and root it. I do not think you can flash a GB rom from CWM if you're on CM10 because of the partition change.

Why oh why would you want to go back to GB?

Yep, just use Odin to go back to Gingerbread... Then once you've done that flash in dbdata.rfs because if you don't you'll end up with a bootloop (like the others said, different data partitions).
I flashed a gb rom.in recovery while im on aokp cm10 and all works fine no odin needed

I have a quick question. U want to update to ICS but I'm currently rooted on stock gb rom. Can I update even tho I'm rooted or do I need to odin back to regular stock? If I need to go back to stock can some show me where the tar file for stock for Odin?
Thanks.

Read the stickies in the development section on how to flash roms. There are a number of steps you have to take and if you don't educate yourself first your going to be sorry.

flashing a rom is the same as flashing the stock 4.1.2?
Yes. Have you tried to upgrade your phone with kies? Where did you get the 4.1.2 file from, what file format is it?

5 Flash new recovery zip in old recovery. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970 .

0 (you will have to root this yourself, read the stickies or this whole thread!!!).
For prerooted and improved Rogers JB (get CWM here http://d-h.st/Z97 ) .
1 Download rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158262.
2 Download radio of your choice, or don't (radio for above rom https://mega.co.nz/#!FchjUArZ!QPtwwGvt0KPNE9LFkj9lhTObUSZ1MtI-vKeQxdiefU8 ) Flash radio in CWM.
3 Wipe DATA/SYSTEM/DALVIK in CWM.
4 Flash rom then radio from old recovery / new recovery (<--link).
5 Done.
PS. If you use google backup (in settings/accounts) all your phone numbers and most other settings will remain. There are other ways but i don't care about them. ds.
Finally i would like to join the crowd and say READ THE STICKIES. They exist so that you won't have to waste your own time making threads like this.
Good luck :good:
OP, I think you should stay on ics until you can get kies to work. Your going to end up losing everything on your phone at best and bricking it at worst.

Assuming your cwm is up to date just wipe cache and system then flash. But ALWAYS remember to make a backup first.
On a side note, ever use twrp?

Ummm, its a little more complicated than Flashing.Lol
You are reverting system files and such. Grab you a STOCK image from Sammobile than flash in Odin following the steps outlined in konanes thread in the dev section. Don't ever flash backwards between versions of android in cwm, you'll soft brick your phone. Bad advice ^^^^dude
