For all new people.

Guys flashing roms is a big responsibility. Read the guides. The latest version is Kh2. This is a 2.3.4 Rom. If you want old 2.2, which is easier to flash, then you should use kd1.

Hi I flashed "[ROM-Leak][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4" rom to my phone and when I went to the local t-mobile store they told me that my headphone jack isnt working and needs to be sent in for warranty replacement.... what do I need to do to set this up to stock and the current rom so tmobile doesnt void my warranty.... or to flash using ODIN?

follow the noobs guide to odin in the bible

I know how to use ODIN..... the question is do I need to do anything to the phone to downgrade it to 2.2.1 Stock.... or just flash it and done?

Just flash a 2.2.1 stock rom on your phone, and you are done. if it already has root, you can un-root with superoneclick

o ok ya I got that one without root do I have disable lagfix and so on?
Also since I partitioned my SD card can I leave it alone and when i get my new phone just flash it and itll work ok?

How should I wipe my rooted phone before trading??

I'm looking to trade my Galaxy 4G S to a friend and its been rooted and I currently have this ROM installed :
(ROM-Leak)][ODIN] Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
So if I want to give it to her with the stock stuff on it, do I just go into the stock Recovery and wipe everything??
I basically want to give it to her stock as if she just opened it up from the box...
I'm getting the G2x in return.

you have to Odin back to KC1.
Its by whitehaxw

But these ROMS that are stock are still rooted arent they??
I want it to be completely stock.. bloatware, NOT rooted and all.
So your suggest will do that?

Unroot it with superoneclick

flash kc1 and have it replace bootloaders
then flash kd1 that has root..
use super 1 click and then de root the device..
wala stock

Be sure you flash RaverX3X's KC1 though. If you want to give her the phone 100% stock, you need the Froyo bootloaders.

[Q] Rooting Stock Leak 2.3.6 UCLB3

Anyone know how to Root the new Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock leak that was posted? I am talking about UCLB3. I went to "Settings"- "Privacy" - "Factory data reset and was prepared to start over at Froyo. When the phone finished booting up my factory setting is now 2.3.6 UCLB3. I am not a noob but not real experienced either. I spent hours last night trying to root the phone. I want to put the rooted version from Dman on - I couldn't even use ODIN and Heimdall or GTG's unbrick versions to take me backwards. I am on 2.3.6 no matter what I do. Anyone care to help?

is ODIN not recognizing the phone or whats the situation ? Heimdall is for flashing stock 2.3.6 or cwm for froyo.

There is no way to root the new leak... you can flash a rooted kernel, then flash the stock kernel back and you'll retain root

Thanks for your comment. I saw something about that in the UCKK3 stock rom post, I think. That`s an effective way to root the 2.3.6 leak/stock?
Is that the way to do it? odin>flash pda only with auto-reboot and f.reset time>flash again the stock kernel (pda only). Is this right?
Any way to install CWM kernel in between? I'll be very pleased with a right answer, thanks!!!

Rooting stock 2.3.6
Thanks to you guys who helped with my issue. I got the phone to recognize download mode and flashed a CWM Kernel and then the stock one and kept root. (Thanks DMan) Since I was busy I didn't get this done until Friday and then the Collective comes out with Revelation which after reading the posts I immediately flashed. Prior to Revelation my favorite ROM had been Caty 3.0 but I think Dman and the Collective have put out my new favorite now.

[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

CM10

I have installed CM10 rom and I want to change it. It will not let me can someone tell me what I can do

Change to what? Another jb Rom or an ics or gb Rom?
If another jb then download your Rom to your phone, boot to recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvic then flash
If ics or gb you will have to Odin or heimdall back to stock...jellybean is in a different format (MTD) then ics and gb currently the only way back is heimdall or Odin to a stock firmware

I'm assuming you want to downgrade from an MTD version of CM10? If so, you're going to want to revert to stock and install a custom kernel and CWM recovery so you can start flashing again.
Here's how:
