[Q] How to back from CW11 to Stock 4.2.1?

Hi,
I was using my Grand Duos I9082 with great CWM11 4.4.2..
But due to change my phone with LG G2 nowadays, I'll give my phone to a friend but he needs dual sim option..
So, I need to flash original rom to on it.. I've downloaded these files:
Duos4.2.2stock-TUR-I9082XXUBMHC-20130906121521.zip (975.573.674 bytes)
and
I9082XXAMC7_I9082OJVAMC1_TUR.zip (827.176.269 bytes)...
I'm not sure which one is suitable for Turkish stock rom..
And how can I flash one of the file (if possible, tell me which one is better) via Odin?
I think I'll choose as PDA but I'm not sure another options required for Odin process..
If some expert tell me the whole process?
Thanks..

Here's the process
1.Turn off the device.
2. Boot in into Download Mode (to enter into download
mode you have to: press and keep holding the power,
volume down and home buttons in the same time).
3. While the device is into Download Mode, connect the
Samsung Galaxy Grand device to the PC via USB
cable.
4. Now, ensure that ODIN recognize the device, and the
“added” message is displayed, and ID:COM section is
yellow or blue. Note: if not, you will have to close the
ODIN app, disconnect the device by removing the
USB cable, change the USB port from the PC and
reinstall the USB Grand drivers once again. Then,
repeat all the steps from above.
5. Now, if everything is ok you can move to the next
step.
6. From ODIN app click on the “PDA” button.
7. Browse and pick the extracted firmware file from your pc
8. Next, from ODIN click on “START” button.
9. The installation process should begin immediately,
and you must wait until the firmware is being flashed.
10. When into ODIN app the “pass” message will be
displayed and the ID:COM section will turn green,
then the firmware is completely installed.
11. Now, you can disconnect the USB cable from PC.
12. Reboot the Galaxy Grand device.
Note: the first boot after the installation
process will take longer than usual, just be
patient.
If you still face some problem you can refer to guides in the general section.
There are some great guides there.

[Q] WTF is "download mode'?

OK I have a Galaxy Tab3 GT-P5210, I have developer usb debugging enabled, I have the Samsung KIES package installed on my PC and I've downloaded Odin307, the TWRP package and the ROOT package that is well documented in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
The problem I'm having is with the step that says:
Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen.
When I do this it goes into something called 'Android System Recovery <3e>" with a prompt that says "# MANUAL MODE #" with the following options:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and it does not show up in Odin so I cannot get further...how can I resolve this?
as a rant here, I really wish Google would mandate that all providers supply an option to root the device and install stock Android...this nonstop jumping thru hoops just to have basic control over a device you spent good money on is ****ing stupid
Found your problem!

Hey man download mode is where you flash custom recoveries and custom or stock Roms on your device. The answer to you for download mode is your not holding it down enough. first power off the device. Second hold these buttons all together: power + Volume Down + home button. Keep holding these buttons for a minimum of 10-15 seconds or more and it will go into download mode. From there you open up Odin on your pc and then you should see in a box your com port this means your connected. From there you it PDA and you select your recovery file. It should end with
.md5! Make sure re-partition is not checked or you will brick your device! Now it start and once it's done it will say Res OK. Good luck!

You know what it was? Its a brand new tablet for me and so when it is held lengthwise (like you'd hold a phone normally) the Vol+ button is at the BOTTOM, not the top like every phone I've ever owned. So I was holding Vol- instead and that's why it wasn't working for me...boneheaded mistake but thanks for the reply...I can now boot it into Download mode ...though I still can't get Odin to recognize it

After trying some different things I got Odin working, was able to install TWRP and root the device so that's all good
Now I've downloaded the framework-res.apk and decompiled it, modded it as i wanted to and recompiled using the Android Multitool app and the final issue I'm having is pushing the new framework-res.apk back to the device. The Android Multitool app claims it pushes the file but it does not. So I downloaded the latest sdk and I'm going to try using the raw ADB tool to push the file and see if that works...wish me luck
You can use twrp file manger to do that.
Just copy your file to sdcard while connected to pc and then reboot to recovery use file manager in advanced settings. Find your file and copy it to where ever you need it.
