First of all let me apologize in advance if this is a repeat thread or something which has been asked before.
Please help me with my query...
I have a samsung infuse and few months back i had updated it to Gingerbread 2.3.6 using Kies. I have never installed any custom ROM ever on this. I think GB has lots of issues and battery life is also not great. I know for a fact that this thing worked fine in Froyo so i want to go back to Froyo and then later sell off the phone. I still do not want to do any custom ROM and want to go back to Froyo only.
Can anyone please suggest me what all i will need to get and how to do it ? (ODIN ?)
I know this wonderful forum has all information but segregating what i want exactly is getting bit difficult and hence i am opening this thread.
Would sincerely appreciate any help i can get in this regard.

Greetings XDA Community !
I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S 4G about a week ago to Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed KF2 + Root . And I'm not putting and blame to it. I just want to flash back to my Stock FROYO 2.2.1. VUVKB5. But I've searched many sites and looked for answers, but so far none have prevailed. So I started looking here today trying to find a way to get back to my stock rom, just as if I got it out of the box. When I got the phone it was All Stock Froyo 2.2.1 I think. VUVKB5 Rom, if i'm not mistaken. and Then me being adventurous wanted to Flash my phone to a new Rom to try it out. But I really want to just go back to my Stock Froyo and wait for the official Gingerbread update to come out for the SGS4G. If anyone can help me out here I know I'm a noob at this. But anyone's advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I just really want to get back to my Out of the Box FROYO Rom.
Thanks !
Go to the bible thread in the development section. Scroll to guides and find the noobs guide to odin. Follow that and you should be ok.

There's a thread on how to dump your current phone in the dev forums - it's 2-3 pages down, was a hot item 3 weeks ago when Rogers released the Infuse.
but honestly - there are existing dumps of both Froyo variants (look at the Ultimate Unbrick) threads and of the Rogers Gingerbread release
So I have a G2X and i wanted to go back to stock, im running cm7 7.1.0.1 stable and i want to go back to gingerbread 2.3.3 which is what my phone came with when i got it i searched on how but i cant find the stock and i didnt back it up like a fool. any help?

Please provide the PROPER answer next time. He was asking for stock gingerbread, and the link you gave in the first line says "this is based off of" so its not the official stock. He is looking for the stock the phone came with, V21E.
This is what you are looking for dude

I've tried to follow every single how to on here and I could not get my dad's galaxy s rooted. Its running KB5 2.2.1
Zergrush failed
I can't find a rooted rom that I can flash through odin
I can't find a one click rom to work with heimdall
Manual rooting didn't work
how the heck do I get this thing rooted? most of the DL links are pointed at multiupload and there are no good sources to get rooted roms from. Help me please.
Since you are on KB5....
You should go ahead an update your dad's phone to the newest official ROM - Gingerbread 2.3.6. Here is a simple guide for you to follow -

I recommend you stop after you update to Gingerbread and root the phone. Since it is not your phone I don't think you need to mess around with custom ROMs.
Good luck and let us know if you need more help.

Yep no custom roms for him. When I get it rooted I'm going to remove bloat with Titanium. I'll try this out and let you know.

I personally use System ROM Toolbox. TB seems to need to reboot for me when removing system .apk's, whereas with System ROM Toolbox batch remove the bloat... and if you decide to use a custom kernel to get CWM FB's DeBloater is really the easiest.

Samsung Galaxy S 4G
Woe dude...I feel for you. I had my SGS4G for 3 days now and just got it rooted about 20 minutes ago. Mine is running KJ6 2.3.6 Naturally, when we get our brand new toys instinct hits manual over-ride and we find ourselves tryna root it as soon as we wlked through the door - LOL! It's true - I did the same thing and hit a brick wall just like you did. And for the life of me I just couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong - and tryna figure out what I should have done that I wasn't doing. Sounds about right??? Okay, almost by complete accident I found out what I was doing wrong - lol - I tried to root my phone on a XP Pro OS!!! (Sounds Crazy Don't It?!) NOT ONE ROOT APPLICATION WORKED UNTIL I SWITCHED MY OS !!!
As soon as I slapped Super One Click 2.3.3.-Short Fuse on a Micro SD, and tried it again on a Vista 32-bit OS, the process took every bit of 3 1/2 minutes!!! Either way it goes, I hope my info can benefit you or someone reading in some way...
Til the next - HAPPY ROOTIN !!!

LOL I was about to post the same thing
Since i hadnt already,i wanted to post and say hi to all the I727 owners here.Had phone for two months about,now.Great thread to have thanks for having me.Im going to try to use the search function as much as i can now.There are so many posts here,i cant beleive it..Pretty much every question that can be asked is here..
About me. Im a computer guy,just starting to get into mobile devices.
Rooted my first Android only about a year and a half ago using easy methods.
Now have a Skyrocket and of course i love it.A member here helped me flash ics,but for a couple reasons (mainly noob reasons) i flashed back to 2.3.5
Just experimenting with cwm for the first time.Made a recovery.
All i have is stock 2.3.5 rooted with SPB 3d which im sure to alot of you guys here is lame, but i really think its awesome and my fiance loves it..
If i were to ask for help,i guess i would ask what the most efficient way to take what i have backed up, with spb and 2.3.5 and upgrade to 2.3.6 unless its not really worth it..Ive heard there are many differences between .5 and .6 tho...
Or just directions to the 2.3.6 update thread Im really confused by what all the stuff means..Im still reading some begginners stuff a guy sent me.
Anyways,thank you for having me

I believe this is one of the last few links we have for 2.3.6 in a stock form that is cwm flash able. I am sure there is another link somewhere but it is buried under two and a half months of roms in the dev section. Besides its your phone. Put whatever apps or launchers you want on it.

Here is link to the 2.3.6 rom. First link does not work but I believe the mirrored link does. The modem zip is also below so you can flash that to.
