[Q] How to downgrade? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hey guys I'm on a rooted ics rom, and while it's nice and all, it just doesnt suit me, so I was wondering how to downgrade back to gingerbread, if it matters, I plan on using the octane rom, because I really liked the battery. Anyway so I'm sure I dont just flash octane right? Thank you in advance.

Yes. You need to do that and flash the bootloaders to get off of MTD and back onto BML. Search those and you'll have a better understanding

[DUMP] Nexus S System Dump

Here is a dump of the Nexus S system.
Bout all you can really get atm, as they have no root, no custom recovery, etc.
Thanks to k0mpresd for this.
http://efragtv.com/android/nexus/system.tar.gz
Have fun
Not sure what can really be pulled from it, if anything can, but I'm going to download & give it a shot anyway
Meh, it's there for anyone who cares to get anything from it
Problem is they don't have root and whatnot yet, so it hinders getting much of anything else from it.
And of course, no source doesn't help

Do not disrespect me. If you think you can talk down to me you're wrong. The only people who need this, know to look in the Nexus S forum to find it.

It's just so easy to search, and there's getting to be too many threads on the exact same thing. I also wonder, how hard is it to make a complete sentence? If it's too hard to do that, wouldn't it be too hard to do most of the things here?
Just my thoughts.

I couldn't agree more! Kind and generous people take the time to answer these questions in depth. Then someone new expects them to regurgitate it because they didn't bother to even look first. Typically the number one rule of all forums is to browse and search first, people should know better! Only start a new thread for help if you have a new/unique situation that you couldn't locate by yourself.

They could just have an error screen explaining why they can't post. Let them know they have to be a member for certain amount of time, or there could even be a kind of peer review, where existing developers can vouch for the new member.

I thought this was already the case.
Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A forum. Period.
Also, one should spend time reading the first 1-2 pages of each forum, ESPECIALLY sticky threads before posting. It is obviously clear that the original poster did not spend ANY time reading.
I was a noob once too - but I took the time to do my research and spent an evening or two browsing threads and learning when I first flashed my HTC Tilt. Same for when I bought my Tilt2. Same for when I bought my Huawei S7, and same for when I bought my Infuse and Tab 10.1.
The "teach a man to fish" proverb applies here. If you just handhold a user, they will never learn anything. If you force them to spend some time reading threads, they'll start learning how to educate themselves and learn a new device without asking questions about stuff that is widely documented.

That's no excuse! I've been in this game for years and have learned almost everything I know simply by reading. If I can do it so can the noobs. Period. This guy deserves everything and anything he gets. I'm with Entropy. They must be forced to learn!
I'd say "ok guys back to topic" but instead I'll say "crap, here comes Neo again!"
Agreed.
A bit of reading would help everyone. Generally speaking, most questions have probably been asked before and even if they haven't; it is best to search anyway because you might stumble across the answer.
I'm all about being helpful, but constantly coddling people while they do the wrong thing isn't helping anyone. I want us to have a large user base so that our development continues to expand, but not just so that we have a lot of ignorant people running around posting the same thing over and over without doing a bit of searching.
It isn't as if this post was some desperate call for help because their phone stopped working after installing a ROM. It was just someone being lazy.

thank you!!

Thanks you all your help.

I am new to the whole process so please forgive me for my ignorance,
After I rooted I installed Zeus than I installed miui, I could not go into recovery so I installed community kernal.
if you can tell me which one of the 4 will work for me :

I'm not sure what's involved if you have BigPart. I've never used it. I'm pretty sure there's something you need to do. There's a thread somewhere around here. I remember reading it a long time ago. I could be wrong but I think it's in the development forum.
