This worked for me. Make sure you make a backup of those files on your PC before you do this.
you might also want to make another nandroid backup and do it to that one first.

depends what you restore back to.
2.3.3 is the latest
Can't you just copy that 2.3.3 stock ROM zip file to SNS root and run through recovery?
Why would you go to 2.3.3 by choice? I'm dreading the day that it says i have an update.

You cannot restore a ROM of a different version of android than the one you are running.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
It mean that i should first flash 4.0.3 than restore the stock rom
Sent from my LG-P350 using Tapatalk 2
check this "funbook gizmolord" website... goggle that words and check the website...
The way you're stating things is off, so I'm assuming you mean you created a Nandroid before flashing the new Rom? If so then yes, just wipe data, wipe cache, format and remount system and then re-flash the stock Rom by whatever method your devices uses.

[FIX] Flashing Stock Rom/Custom ROM over Angeeks ROM

I'm facing a weird problem. I can't flash stock rom via Odin. The phone is always stuck on the Samsung screen. Tried xxlq7/xxlq9. I'm on angeeks rom. Wanted to try the blueberry sensation rom.
So for that I tried flashing xxlq9 again as recommended and faced this issue.
EDIT [FIX]
As suggested by Kartik pat i was able to successfully flash stock rom over angeeks rom
I followed the following steps:
1. Take tb for all apps [angeeks rom]
2. Restore any gingerbread backup you might have from CWM. Boot your device.
3. Flash xxlq9 via Odinv3. Boot device
4. Flash cwm4. Boot device.
5. Flash ardatdat kernel v4.0 [ensures the erase bug issue is resolved]
6. Boot System
7. Reboot into recovery. Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache.
8. Boot system and tada
If you want to flash bb rom over this then:
1. Flash the bb rom v1. Reboot.
2. Flash the bug fix zip. Reboot.
3. Flash sensation mod
P.s. this method worked for me using the gb backup and cwmv4.
Hope this helps.
EDIT 2:
As posted by vikesh....
Hey Buddies,
I did few R&D over Angeek ROM. As we are facing problem after Flashing NORDIC ROM over this One.
Here is the procedure:
If you Have any Back of ICS / GB then only apply these changes. Coz I have already did this.
Caution: Please take your Backup before then Try to Do below mentioned steps.
1) Requirements:
1.1) Must b having Ardatdat's eMMC erased Kernel i.e. V4.0 & higher.
1.2) ODIN V 3.07
1.3) Latest Kies Installed (for USB drivers)
1.4) Latest XXQL9 NORDIC ROM
1.5) CMW 6.0.1.1 for CMW flashing & CMW 6.0.1.1.tar for ODIN.
1.6) A PC..(of course):silly:
2) Flashing:
As per Suggestion by chandanbs, NORDIC ROM is almost come with Full in System Rom Partition.
So, here is few suggestion which was already suggested by our Great Mj.vikram buddy over this Thread & see Post no #8 there.
Hope, your ROM Partition is 619/620MB.
After Flashing above procedure, If you have flashed Ardatdat's Kernel first & have installed any ROM Specially ANGEEK ROM(coz having problem in that rom particularly as per users) Then Follow the Process:
2.1) Go to CMW Recovery MOD & Install Latest CMW 6.0.1.1
2.2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
2.3) Go to CMW recovery again & Just Restore you previous backup of any ROM.
2.4) Open ODIN 3.07(Right Click over Exe & select "Run As Administrator") & Follow the steps for flashing Stock ROM using this tutorial
2.5) After Booting just Flash CMW V6 using ODIN 3.07.
2.6) Don't Wipe Data / Factory Reset or Wipe cache / dalvik Cache. Just let it boot.
Now you have Successfully Flashed Nordic ROM over Angeek / Any other ROM.

yes buddy you are correct, you need to wipe all 3 ie data, cache & Dalvic cache..
But i feel its not mandatory to flash XXLQ9 because i use to flash on my Leaked ICS and it was working fine when i used it.....
i followed all the steps mentioned above...the phone booted to the home screen of xxlq9...flashed bb rom successfully as per cwm...but the phone is stuck on the samsung screen that comes after galaxy r appears

It gets stuck for like 10-15 secs but later it flashes ROM properly,
@mj whats wrong to do it with V1.85?
@pulley I also faced same problem yesterday, but I think that time i did not mount/unmout system so I reflashed BB again by pressing two times mount>unmount (final would be unmount/system), so just press two times, still not booting then again wipe all 3 (cache,dalvik and data)
I think there is few points we should consider while flashing BB or MAZEL2 rom if u are on ANGEEK ROM.
If anybody who sucessfully flashed Stock rom & then BB or Mazel 2 after Angeek, must come in front and give us the solution.
@pulley: buddy, as u r the OP, pls add the procesure in ur OP(after getting the solution) and give ur thread name as "Flashing stock rom after Angeek rom". Coz lots of people are flashing over angeek and facing lots of problem.
Asap answer will b appriciated.

1. remove battery/SDcard/SIM
2. wait for 5 minutes
3. insert SIM and SD card and plug USB cable in phone and connect it with laptop/PC (DO NOT INSERT BATTERY)
4. wait for one minute and now insert battery (With USB cable connected)
5. switch on
6. flash stock ICS and reboot
5 flash CWM (I used 5.5 for BB ROM) and reboot
7 enter CWM

9 now flash BB ROM and Reboot
10. Enter CWM and repeat step 8 and flash Sensation Theme. and reboot.

Did you have the all apps before you created the backup?
Go to recovery mode and wipe everything(data,system,cache,dalvik cache)
Then restore again I think it will work
If this method not work then download stock rom from the link below

And flash it

Check the forum for your device and you will find what you need
Sent from my Pink Unicorn stable
Just download the stock rom. You can probably find a zip file to flash from recovery or a tar file to flash with odin.
Did you make a backup?
Worst case you can read flash it or flash a different rom and be okay. Or restore your backup if you made one (you should always make a backup cause things sometimes go wrong. And it happens to us all
