Downgrade to 2.2 - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hello,
I am on CM 7.2 and wish to downgrade to 2.2.
I am German and need the German Stock Rom. If anybody could help me with downgrading and finding the right bootloader I would be very thankful.

Hi, if you want to go down, just flash stock 2.2 with Odin.
You can download the package here:http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31
Flashing instrucktions http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/procedure-how-to-flash-updateupgrade.html
EDIT: Make sure you DL the european version. It has german language.

Thank you. I tried it some time ago and my Gio bricked because of the wrong bootloader? Whatever this is what they said to me. But now I am not quite sure which 2.2.1 Rom I should pick.
Can you tell me which one is best?
I think it's because its one packaged. Is there a Froyo Rom that isn't one packaged?

If its one package, tick the ''one package option in Odin and just select your file in one package slot.
I dont think that One package ROM would brick your phone easier than Multi package one.
I would take S5660XXKC6 Rom since its latest Froyo (2.2) for Gio
If you bricked earlier, it may be wrong ROM for your device.

Ah I got it. Thank you.

I just downgraded my Gio from CM 7.2 to official 2.3.6. It was one package and didn't brick my set. Just follow the procedure and you're good to go.

Hello,
Could you give me more details on the procedure? Btw, where did you find the link for the official 2.3.6?
Thanks

I'm not sure about the T-Mobile version of the ROM (not sure of any customizations they included), but you can download stock ROM's from the link below:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Obviously the best way would be to restore a ClockwordMod Backup of your original configuration, but I'm guessing such a backup was never done?
Just out of curiosity, why do you wish to return to a stock ROM?
Hope this helps

Here's a question. I'm a proud owner of a GT-i9000 SGSI and my sister has a HTC Desire HD.
She's recently been complaining about various issues with the phone itself. I haven't had a look at it yet but I'd like to know what the most current stable stock ROM is and how to install/flash.
That link that ashleyayling has supplied takes you to a page full of ROMs for something called ACE? Is that Galaxy Ace or is that a build version or something?
I've tried searching and ROM shows up plenty of times but nothing regarding stock ROMs. TBH, I haven't looked through all 39 pages of the search but I thought maybe someone will be able to help me?
To summarise:
1. Latest (stable) stock ROM
2. How to install/flash
Many thanks.

1. The link provided above is a full list of stock roms in RUU format. Ace was the codename for the Desire HD, so anything referring to Ace is usually the DHD
2. have a look in the development section, there's heaps of threads to help you out with this one, I don't think it would be an easy straightforward answer for someone to give you here (that's why there's whole threads dedicated to it)
Not to barge in on someone else needing help (Noob to the forums) but wondered if you can point me in the right direction! Desperately in need of help as I just killed My Rooted then OTA updated (killing the root) DHD. I was trying to root it again using the Ace Hack Tool and it's now stuck at the T-Mobile loading screen! I'm stumped as to what to do as no matter what I put on the SD it won't update it to work. And can't update via USB as it won't go into the OS. It does flash up quickly some writing while going into the bootloader but all I can make out is Image not Found... Please help! ATM its an expensive paperweight!
Sorry, I looked at the link given and there are loads of .exe downloads.
Can someone please say which one is the latest Stock RUU, I am selling my phone tomorrow and need to put it back to stock, if someone can just say which one I need to download.
Im guessing I just install it like I do with any custom rom through clockword mod.
Will I have root after the stock RUU has been installed? I dont think it matters if it is rooted or not so i'm not bothered too much about that, but i'm not sure they'll be happy if its on ICS MIUI which isn't 100% stable

[ROM][GSM][ARABIC] Official Samsung Gingerbread 2.3.3 - P1000JPJP9 [Galaxy TAB]

It's finally here...
Samsung's official Middle East Gingerbread ROM 2.3.3 with full Arabic support for the Galaxy Tab.
Code: P1000 - JPJP9
This rom image is specifically intended for developers to tinker around with and not for regular users. This rom image is untouched and does not contain any of the enhancements/additions seen in custom roms.
This rom image has been extracted from a recently updated Galaxy Tab via Kies. Kies pushed the JPJP9 update, and the rom image was simply dumped.
This is not a Beta... It is an actual final release of the official Arabic Samsung rom for the Galaxy Tab.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
http://www.MegaShare.com/3370075
As always use Odin v1.7 to install.
Enjoy, and hope to see great cooked roms out of this one

The link provided by @wakady demonstrates the new rom while in action. The honeycomb skin/theme shown is a seperately installed MOD and does not come with the official rom.
Hope this clarifies...

Theoretically it should work... But I'm not responsible for any unexpected results from the upgrade...
If your tab is an International/Middle East version, then it should work fine...
Actually it won't as this firmware is missing the bootloaders. Flash a stock gingerbread firmware first then this one.
Hello Experts!
Just a question of caution before i upgrade my Tab.
I have a stock Galaxy Tab so its not rooted or anything.
Do i just download Odin 1.7 and the Arabic Rom and flash my Tab?
Any advice before i begin?
Thanks
If you're on Froyo ROM Flash Chainfire's ROM first as it contains bootloaders. If you are already on gingerbread then flash away
I'm still on Froyo 2.2.
Does this ROM allow arabic to be displayed properly, meaning that the letters are connected?
I hate to sell my Tab just to get the Ipad for its native ability to read arabic.
and what are bootloaders good for? can i upgrade to this arabic ROM without installing Chainfire's ROM first?
Gingerbread has its own signed bootloaders for it to boot. This firmware here doesn't contain them. If you flash it it will not boot and you only get screen corruption.
A safe alternative is that you can do it at your local samsung service center.
Is this the rooted one available at ce4arab.com forum?
or is it completely original kernel with original Samsung recovery menus?
ok thanks for the advice.
any chance u've tried the rom out? could you tell me if the arabic letters are connected properly?
thanks

[Q] Gt5660 latest firmware

Hello
I rooted my device and went to flash a rom and it rooted i got Odin and i cant find the latest firmware to download and flash on to it does any one have any links.
It depends on what you want, if you want latest stock firmware look on sammobile.com.
If you want an alternative firmware you could go for Cyanogen Mod 7.2, you'll find it here in the developers section along with other mods.
I have installed CM7.2 (SeriousMod). It works very nice for me.
As rom stock..the last one ufficial is 2.3.4..but if you want,you could try 2.3.5 also..or as custom rom you could flash Cyanogen 7.2 or GioPro 1.4..
I was able to install 2.3.6, it was an asian firmware but had english. Try looking for it.

There you have the oficial CyanogenMod 7 rom support, instalation and development issues support.
In my opinion it is the best 2.3 alternative rom for p350.
The steps i know only in portuguese, but i believe i will find it in this link too.
The factory installed apps, the most one you will install with a Google package inside this link too.
The others you can download again on play store.
following a different guide i was trying to install CM Invasion V2 ROM.. i never got to the flashing ROM part... i was backing up the current ROM unsing ROM manager and my cell fone bricked... after banging my head... looking for solutions on the net and again banging my head... i finally was able to revive my cell fone (using kdz updater)... all this is a risky business
can anyone give me a near perfect guide for flashing ROM without using ROM manager.. please..
You'll have to flash a custom recovery first. Amonra is very stable. Then you can make a nandroid backup of your current rom from the recovery for you to go back to. Flash the rom you like and enjoy. If you need to do back to your original rom, just restore back from your nandroid backup

now flash recovery by going on thread then do steps
for flashing roms do following steps on recovery
1.creat nandroid backup only once not for everytime you flash
2.then go in wipe section and wipe all data
3.then go to flash zip manu and find rom then flash
4.sometimes some rom needs advanced steps for flashing like cm 7 official needs to format/system(steps for it it mentioned by the developer on his thread)
done reboot then enjoy flashing.
hope this will help you...........................
in future do not install recovery from rom manager it will brick your phone untill it gets perfect for our device
Remember we have a wiki page for this phone with an all-in-one guide for modifying it (rooting, recovery, custom rom installation, troubleshooting). I try to keep it updated, nice and clean (kinda hard some times).
About Android versions: The Optimus ME comes with Froyo (2.2) there is no other official firmware for it. CyanogenMod 7 is based on Gingerbread (2.3) which now has official support and is working pretty good now (yes, previous versions were slow, buggy but now they're pretty stable)... Honeycomb (3.0) is only for tablets, so it's not coming to P350. CyanogenMod 9 is based on Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), which for this device is still a work in progress, so don't expect a timeline nor a soon release. CyanogenMod 10 based on Jelly Bean (4.1) is still a myth for the P350...
I hope to have answered your questions...

[Q] Install Cyanogemod on GT-I8160L

Hello everyone.
I want to install cyanogenmod on my device, I am aware that there is not official rom for my device but there is an unofficial rom.
I did a research on the web and for what I understand there are some problem with my device because it is de latin-american version, I found a method too were I have to copy the "tee" folder from my device before installation and then paste it after the installation(that is supose to solve the 3g signal).
I am a complete begginer in custom roms, I have never installed one in my life. I have a lot of question: I need to have kitkat in my device to install the latest version of cyanogenmod? (my instincts says no but for what I have read I am not so sure) where can I go for a tutorial of installing roms? this rom (cyanogenmod) can work on my device?
The other alternative I have is slim bean, a jelly bean rom based on cyanogenmod(I even have found a tutorial in youtube that explain the installation and seems easy) but the link to download the rom is dead and there is a version specific for the latin american version.
by the way the latin american version is the one with a L at the end(gt-i8160L)
thanks
sorry if my english is bad.

As my device is a I8160, I'll answer the general questions.
The firmware that you need in your device would be a stock Jellybean firmware in order to install CM 10.1, 10.2 or 11 or any KitKat based ROMs.
As for the tutorial for flashing ROMs, this excellent guide by kyrillos13 might be able to help you (although it is meant for I8160..):
