Dear fellow xdas,
I'm considering downgrading my Singaporean JB ROM to my local ICS version. I was wondering whether anyone has any experience with this and how it worked out for you ?
I did try once downgrading without factory resetting/cleaning the memory, which resulted in the tab freezing the first boot. I then reupgraded to JB and it worked completely fine.

hi you dont need to afraid, i did that. jb to ics or honeycomb, and im running honeycomb right now after multi window mod JB,
just use odin and change your rom and the important part is you must wipe data/factory reset, this is very important,
now you can enjoy

Hello everyone, just got my skyrocket gs2 (from ios4s) and longstory short,
i was told (by att rep) this phone did ICS....
so now i know it doest for now.......so i decided to root(ok so far) and
all that jazz......
im up to the point where i drop in the rom on extcard to install.
The problem im having is that the ROM im trying to run is
ICS_SMOOTHIE
and its not working properly. When i install (about 5 tries already) all goes good till reboot. I reboot, phone "sammy text" appears 3-6 xs, then eventually i get the ICS intro with all the colors and 1sec after it appears, it freezes and theres like a "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" sound like a turbine engine like if phone was gonna blow up.
My ? is, whats going wrong? i followed the guide to the letter and did every step(as far as clearin cache etc) multiple times.
if this rom is bad (i also downloaded twice) then are there more ICS roms
out there that r good?
Thanks in advanced.

Hmmm you did install the ICS leak first, correct?... if anything don't do darkside wipe and only clear cache and dalvik cache. Flash zip from sdcard and do factory reset then reboot.

OK I see your problem. Looks like the rooting guide you followed is for GB (GB is gingerbread OS) which is before ICS. And let me get you the right guide... u need to flash this first http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/ and that is becuz the rom itself doesn't have what is called the "radio" or "modem" for it to work properly so u need to flash the ics leak that came out first and then you have to flash CWM TOUCH recovery with Odin and root... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24085665 rooting guide for ics: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24050465

Firstly, man, the devs will kill you if you say they are just skins and not full ROMS..LOL...!
The step above in your post: You should not skip that step if you are coming from Gingerbread.
You flash the leaked ICS modem first thing.
Then you wipe data etc.......although the modem is onboard the ROM.
see mhx's Full Bloat ICS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570498 FOLLOW THE STEPS AND LINKS FOR MODEM, KERNEL AND ROM in that post.
I have this running on my phone full time. I think that is that absolute safest for any newbie. Once you have ICS STOCK running, then you know you are good.
LMAO at all of you.
Thanks for all you guys help. i gave up and returned the phone lol, got a iphone 4s.......................( booooooooooooooooo ) lol
BUT, my quick question here (before i get stoned ) is lol, can i use these ICS "roms" on my galaxy tab? (im still a supporter) lol...
overall, i have samsung galaxy tab 8.9 and 7.1 and im wondering if i can use the tools you guys have provided on those 2 devices or if i have to go look for specific mods/upgrades for those devices seperately?
lol, thanks in advanced
I flashed JB on my gt-n8013, and then i wanted to return back to ICS as Kno doesn't want to run. So i downloaded the GT-N8013 from Sammobile and flashed it in.
But when it's rebooting it's kept hanging on Samsung logo and doesnt want to run. what can i do. Help please
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366
try re-flashing.. or re-downloading the file... it might be corrupted
Well you need to boot into recovery and do a comple wipe unfortuantely you will lose all data
I would suggest to you that if you redownload the rom and it still does not work then you should try out a different rom, because it seems like you may have downloaded a rom for a similar tablet and now find yourself running into issues.

I Reflashed again JB UK 4.1.1 and it's working fine, but i can't switch back to ICS GT-N8013. I'm in exams' period and some of my studies on Kno :S and i can't get it working, i contacted them and told me they're still working on a JB version :S
Thanks all
Boot to recovery Factory reset .
Flash stock ICS rom via Odin .
jje
You will loose ALL data on internal card so back up before doing this...

I'm having the exact same problem could you please post a direct link to the package that finally worked, what flags did you check in odin?
What he did was went from JB to JB for 8010 when JB to ICS did not work so he did not get it to work
Unfortunately there is no workaround when you go from JB to ICS you need to do a complete wipe to make it work
if i want to reset my tab to factory settings, can i just flash a recent official version over my current cm10.1 with odin? will everything be as before (i want to return it)?

I'm sorry , we cannot allow you to return a device and deplete our numbers, but yes , ODIN stock rom resets everything except any personal files you might have stored on the internal storage (photos, porn, etc.)
AW: [Q] Going to stock from cm10.1
i dont know. i figure i might be able to get a sweeter deal for the money. if not, at least i know my p3110 now and can always return. would love hdmi out though.

Sorry to bother you guys again.
Given the chance I ever find a german 4.0.4 rom, could I flash this over my CM10.1 right away or do I have to downgrade to CM9 first?

So to get this right.
I want to flash this firmware from Sammobile
Germany 2012 October 4.0.4 P3110XWBLH3 P3110DBTBLH2
It doesn't matter which firm im on as long as i use odin to flash this as pda? right?
sorry for not getting it straight away.
Just a quick heads up for anyone with the same problem.
I could flash the aforementioned .tar. with odin.
On booting it got stuck in a loop (of course).
I could go to recovery and do a wipe.
After reeboot everything went just fine.

Is there a way to update phone without losing root.. Galaxy s3 to (sprint). Running wicked sensations v2.1. Currently got lj7. :good: Thank you and have a great day.
Not too sure but I think the safest way is to go back to stock rom & unroot, then update youre phone & then root again, the rooting process only takes about 5-10mins anyway. Cant really see why you would wanna go back to stock rom after being rooted & running a modded rom? But hey hope this helps & if so press the thanks button :thumbup:

Stock
I dont want to go back to stock.. Just wanted the update.. There is no way i would ever go back to stock. I love the rom i am currently running.. Thank you for your insight though.. I know freeza has a couple of updates up.. Just don't know which one to do. The odexed or the deoxed one..
If youre just asking about updating youre custom rom.... just make a backup via youre recovery mode, wipe cache, wipe dev cache, wipe/factory reset, then flash the rom, test it & if you are not happy, reapply youre backup? :thumbup:

Flashing
No my custom rom rom is up to date with the newest release. Was referring to the kernel or whatever it is that is being pushed by samsung. When it switched to jellybean 4.1 it was lj7. Which is what i have.. Since then it has updated to 4.1.2 with mb6 and just recently mb1. The newest contains the multi view addon.. This is through google as well.. Anyway it is the samsung firmware, not my custom rom firmware.
Hi all,
I am using OMNIROM 4.4.4 bigpart in my old EU Wingray XOOM 32GB but I have lots of performance and stability issues (browser crashes, apps freezing, very slow system....). After reinstalling it I still have problems and I want to check if it's due to the device itself...
To test that, I would like to go back to the stock Android 4.0.4 ICS that I was using in my European xoom before the jump to EOS, CM and OMNI.
Could anybody help me on how to go back to stock? Where to download the stock rom? how to remove bigpart? Is it really required to remove bigpart to install the stock rom?
Thanks for any help given.
The best way to go back to factory image is to go back to Android 3.1 honeycomb , firmware HW169
http://morningbeat.blogspot.ca/2012/02/convert-uk-or-other-motorola-xoom-to.html
once you are back to android 3.1, keep check update. until you get the latest 4.12 or stop at 4.0.4 if you wish.

Thanks a lot for answering.
So... I have to download the original Honeycomb software, "reflash it" and update until I get 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 ...
My doubt is ... do I have to "undo" the "bigpart"? Or will the stock firmware install perfectly in my "bigpart" xoom?
Thanks!
the bigpart issue I am not to sure of
Of course you need to undo BigPart. It's well document in Xoom Android development section of this forum.
You need to flash the non-big-part TWRP (2.8.0 or other), wipe everything, reboot intot TWRP, format Data, wipe everything again, reboot into TWRP again. Then you can flash original image using fastboot.
Just to stick my nose in, (and go slightly off topic) have you tried My Android Jellybean 4.2? before you go back to honeycomb you might want to give it a go, runs very smooth and very few bugs (if any!)

Eh?
I didn't find anything in forum, could somebody help me how can i go back from bigpart to stock partition?
I tried to go back to stock last month and it was a nightmare trying to get it to boot back after the update. My only advise is to leave the thing alone. Or do a wipe in twrp or cwm. BTW, I still can not get my device to boot or enter recovery after my dumb ass tried to get back stock firmware.

I just flashed mine from omni bigpart back to stock 3.1 cause my 1yr old daughter can't keep her hands off my phone...was time consuming researching how to do it. But it works perfectly...I wound up running some script somebody wrote and it pretty much did everything for me... not in front of my PC at the moment but if you are still fighting it PM me and I'll give ya everything you need...
