Yeah, this ^
Doky73's thread has GT-S5360 firmware available to download and he has a guide there to help you flash it. Odin is the best, and safest, way to go back to stock.
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

[CAUTION]To all users who are running ICS..

Caution:
When you are running ICS on you mobile do not downgrade directly to GB using ODIN, if you flash any GB ROM (Stock/Custom) using ODIN your mobile will be bricked.
Live example is myself i have bricked my mobile by do this.
TO avoid this first you restore previous backup using CWM and then flash what ever you want using ODIN.
Even Unbrick your Galaxy R. 2. Downgrade bootloader to v2.0 guide wont help you, I have followed it but no use I have successively flashed stock rom by using this method but still no luck ..
I've created this thread to help all our users who are running ICS, Sorry I've haven't see that one more thread is there for this if you think its duplicate please ask Justin to delete it..

Thanks! Have you managed to un-brick your machine?
Actually, flashing thru odin is Samsung things and it will increase the counter. So, almost every time, I will customize the ROM to flash thru normal CWM flash zip process. At least, I am just 'copying' files to /system/ and all operations are controlled by the updater-script

Yes Ardatdat. I do the same thing. For all the Stock ROMs which i flash via odin, i used to make CWM package. I used to do that so that always i dont have to depend on my PC. Not for the baseband, But atleast for the PDA and CSC part.

Thx for the info buddy. Like to know once thing. When u tried to downgrade to GB via odin, what was ur ICS system info. Is it rooted.? Deodexed? Rooted Kernel? Because I feel Kernel is the problem here. The Kernel that came with this ICS is not a safest one. Ardatdat can speak more about it.

Thanks mj...

Just off-topic wondering, ppl in SSC will say: your machine is fixed and patched with the latest JB rom & kernel. Am I dreaming?

Hey Vikram,
I think we should sticky this thread.. what say??? Very critical piece of information.

Yes, I would love to, but without the kernel source, I could not do much things. At least, I would not get the kernel src before Samsung provide the official ICS update.

Hoping an image from samsung for this rom and then for ardatdat kernel v 1.8.x from you... Hats off to you man. I am a fan of yours.:thumbup:

this is very confusing. I shouldn't do factory reset. I shouldn't flash via odin. I shouldn't flash via cwm (says another thread). What should i do then to go back to GB?

LG P999 doesnt accept rom,kernel,root always goes to cwm.

hi guys i was using my phone with cm7 rom and cm7 050 stable kernel i just wanted to change my kernel. I tried to install harsh kernel from the CWM ( i got cwm by rom manager) and i installled harsh kernel but it said SD CARD DAMAGED so i couldnt use camera etc. I got cwm by same method after that i installed my old cm7 050 stable kernel. But phone has not been starting since i installed my old cm7 050stable it always goes to cwm. I tried a lot of combinations (kernel+rom, rom+kernel,just rom, just kernel.) I started to use NVFlash since my phone always gets cwm. After all i did stock recovery.(NO ROOT after that step BECAUSE I DID STOCK RECOVERY) My phone was not going to cwm anymore it was going to somewhere i think back up screen and stock there. i again installed stock rom and kernel. My phone goes to cwm always.
what do i need to do.
thank you..:crying:

Don't use ROM Manager to flash CWM. Use NVflash, then try to flash everything. That should do the trick

ok. i will let you know what happens.

After that if u need cwm just install rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery from it.
I could tell u a more direct approach to all that but I m telling u the linear way so whenever u mess up the device and want quick solution u know u can flash this gb v21e rom.
After u r in control of rooting , cwm flashing, n nvflashing ... just search for anything u want in this g2x forum and play with it... as long as u r not frying the device using extreme overclocking ..( which I can tell u this device is capable of sustaining but NOT RECOMMENDED) u r safe

Your first line was terrible advice just saying^.^
To the OP, never use ROM Manager to flash CWM because your probably gonna end up with the same situation again where something goes wrong, always use Nvflash to flash CWM, its always much much safer and its recommended by pretty everyone in these forums, so if you wana go around hacking and stuff on your phone never use ROM Manager
Hope this helped

Lol actually u forgot the fact the Guy did use nvflash earlier and messed up the device .... its all about how u want the people to learn. As I mentioned ealier its not a direct method but Cwm through rom manager always works if u r reading it right. I.e when u don't have cwm flashed before and choosing the right model.... I didn't wanted him to accidently flash a imcompatible cwm or stock one as he did ealier only to get Bck where he started .... dun think everyone is a pro .... the guy needs learning space .... let him play with what he has. He will get into groove by himself .
Next time please read the OP's situation first then respond rather just bouncing in on a post

NEVEEEERRRRR use ROM Manager to install ClockWordMod EVER.

The only thing rom manager is good for on the p999 is downloads roms. Don't use it for cwm please it doesn't work u need a computer and nvflash only way it works. If you are using rom manager it will eventually brick

Like most people said. Use NVFLASH to backup and to load/flash ROMs ONLY.
BTW I recommend you to use the Hellfire Phoenix ROM. It is based on the CM7.2 and it works without changing our Windmobile baseband.

[APK] Flash Zip Files, NO NEED FOR CWM OR TWRP!

Hi Guys!
Today I'd like to share how you can flash those .zip files without a custom recovery!
All you need is the Flash Gordon APK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555
This can flash recoveries, its made for people who have a locked bootloader!
The app is still in it's early stages!
All Credit goes to Androguide.fr for making this awsome app.
THIS APP CANNOT FLASH ROMS!!!

I shared this a couple of months ago in themes & apps section and i have it pre installed in my AVD Rom

K No Problem just making the community aware that xperie e locked bootloader is not dead and can flash zip files!

Yea i was glad when i found it so J users could update my rom without downgrading to ICS every time. So i released update patches

What can you flash with this?

Everything but ROMS!

As long as the update zips are not replacing to many framework & lib files at once.

keep in mind you need busybox installed
use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

Could i flash cwm with this

without a recovery, no, trying to flash with Flash Gordon won't work out well because many system files will be replaced during the flash and that will force android to crash before the flashing has a chance to finish, resulting in a bootloop

Will I be able to flash CWM with this?
I have rooted my XE c1504 using Gandalf exploit and have a locked bootloader.

Help with adding recovery to a Rom

Hello xda
I'm not a big developer,but I was building a stock ics based Rom for xperia E series..but a big problem is that we don't have a recovery for xE.
Although @hsr0 tried to help me,we couldn't make the recovery work..
I need devs of all other devices to help me.please guys,there are not many devs to work for xE.so.it would be really appreciated if you could help me.
Now coming to the point,there is no cwm or twrp available for ics.for xE.
I know moding the stock ics to add a recovery is a tiresome work.
So if anyone could build an ics kernel with any recovery would be a hero..
Now alternatively,is there any way to add a recovery to the Rom instead of leaving the kernel untouched....like adding some recovery files to the Rom.like in gimlo....
Although my ROM can be flashed with a different kernel with recovery,and then flash ics kernel,it would be really difficult for the users...
So I need a recovery for ics..
Any ideas or suggestions are highly welcome...
PLEASE DEVS,,,HELP US...
And thanks to everyone who wanna help me...
Hoping that there would be someone...

Anyone??
