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.

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

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
hey people..
i bought a new desire HD and updated to android 2.3.5..
so at the time rooting it got downgraded to 2.1 ,so is thr any way to upgrade it to 2.3.5 again..witout loosing the root.?
The whole point of rooting is to flash other roms - besides the other things you can do.
You would need to search for one in the dev section, and if you aren't partial to sense roms, you can even get a 2.3.7 Gb rom.
Sent from a dream.
you must flashed other ROM same from XDA Forum dev
u must download custom rom and flash it from recovery, or u can download ROM Manager apk
if you're looking for 2.3 i would recommend Android Revolution(for full sense experience and much speedier over stock) or the BlackIce if you're into minimalistic themes and lots of usefull system/system tools.
You can try this rooted Ruu 3.12.***
you can easly use the custom ROM's or use the RUU ( officiall ROM ).
download any of them and go to recovery then flash the new ROM's.
enjoy it..
does this ROM is the stock ROM?
cz i want to flash it back to its original rom..
i bought this phone as 2nd hand phone..
so the owner newly install ics rom (evervolv ROM i think)
so how i cn flash it back..
my phone :-
baseband : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
kernel version : 2.6.38.8
mod version: Beta 0.18.2.1
p/s,any stable ROM that u guys cn suggest to me??

Why stock when custom runs better and is nicer?
Sounds like you want a new rom, but still a little stock...
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
You can find rooted stock roms, but also stock looking custom roms.
Take a look, search a little, compare a few roms... flash one and see if you like it or not.

That's really not needed, but you still need to update your firmware/bootloader before installing a 4.2.2 AOSP ROM. If you read the CM10.1 thread, it was discovered that older (ICS) bootloaders do not play nice with JB 4.2 AOSP and will cause random reboots. CM10.1 (don't know about others) also won't install unless you're on a compatible bootloader.
To get the latest bootloader/firmware, you need to:
a) Odin to the latest AT&T JellyBean package
or
b) Download the I747 firmware package from here http://invisiblek.org/sgh-i747/ and flash it in recovery.
lol which part was uneeded thanks that is the EXACT answer i was looking for. i did find the smaller bootloader update package so i didnt have to install the full firmware..............and now i realize thats exactly what you linked to as well LMFAO sorry but thanks!!
Can somebody help me? i ve read a lot of threads but really not found out what to do...
I used this video and it worked.

that video is about jellybean...
I would downgrade to stock 4.2, root, install custom recovery, install 4.4 base package, then install CyanogenMod, then install red kernel or mani kernel that supports the 4.4 base. See the custom kernel threads for the links to the base firmware packages (to switch between 4.2 and 4.4 firmware bases).
You can take a look over here:

Newest version is now Twrp 2.8.0 I think.
