[Q] - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hi xda community,
So, I have Cyanogen Mod 9 in my Galaxy Gio and I want to revert it to the official Android version (2.3.6, I think), can I simply do it via ODIN or do I have to do some special process? Since it's a downgrade, I don't know if the process is the same.
Regards (;

you can do it through odin

use odin to Flash a stock ROM.
after flashing is over,go to recovery wipe data&cache

Until SGY isn't supported by MobileODIN there's no other way to flash full roms.

Kernels

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Rooted it withe hercules tar kernel on Android 2.3. When I upgraded to JB the kernel no longer worked (couldn't root). I tried flashing Cyangoen 10.0 and 9.0 but neither wokred (Waited 20 minutes and nothing). Is there a kernel I need to flash with ODIN?
Also, looking for a good place to learn abot kernels in genral.
Many thanks.

Kernel is causing the problem. Flash only kernel which is made for specific rom/android version. follow this if you want to flash via Odin. I recommend you to install CWM because its easy,safe and time saving.
Installed CWM Recovery, tried to flash Cyanogen 9...now it keeps rebooting back into CWM...can't access the Recovery menu. I downloaded the updated kernel. How do I get it flashed?
I was able to connect via ODIN. Can't get recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.tar to flash.
restart your computer log back in and use a different USB port and make sure you have all the DRIVERS for the phone plug it in flash the ODIN CWM file then you should flash an ICS ROM then flash JB to avoid any hiccups 2.3.4 is a big jump to JB might be giving you errors and you are rooted correct ?
Thank you. Yes I'm rooted an runnning smoothly with Juggernaut ROM for now. Want to change to Cyanogen 9.0. I'll flash the ODIN CWM file as you recommend. Where can I find a good ICS ROM and JB? Didn't know the jump from 2.3.4 to JB would be so big.
Many thanks.
what do you prefer the more stocky looking approach or you into AOKP/CM if you like stock then anything from PTMR and JAMISON904 are on point and very stable if you want some options and custom stuff look into the CM/AOKP around here in the development forums since you are rooted i would download a nice ICS you wont be on it long so doesnt matter lol and then finally jump ship to JB give it time for the battery to settle in becuase there was nothin like GB as far as the battery life goes this one guy who has amazing work and dedication http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener anything on there will do you justice when you get to the JB stage good luck and happy flashing!!
C13Kener DOES have some amazing stuff. Thanks. I see that he has a nice ICS stock ROM (Samsung-Stock-4.1.2-Tiberius-Kernel-1.1.zip). Can I just flash that from recovery or do I need to flash a new kernel via ODIN beforehand? Apprecaite your patience and help.

I think there is some confusion here. A ROM is not the same thing as a kernel.
I think thats where I'm having trouble. I have an older kernel (recovery-cwm-hercules.tar) and need to upgrade it before I can flash an ICS ROM. Don't know where to find kernels for the ROMS I want to flash. I thought some ROMs came with the kernel embedded in their zipfile, but finding thats not the case. ODIN is fairly easy to use, but I don't know where to find the right kernels for ROMs like Cyanogen.

Recovery is a tool used to flash ROMs and do backups.
TWRP and CWM are recoveries.
ROMs are the operating system of the phone. They come with a kernel. The kernel is what boots the phone into the OS. You can flash a different kernel if it matches the type of ROM you are on. I hope that clears up some of the confusion.

For the custom Roms u need to be in 4.1.2...U can't flash on 4.2.2...So downgrade to 4.1.2 and flash

Only some custom roms support 4.2.2 .
Read the information in the original thread. Its all given there.
But for most custom roms you need to downgrade to 4.1.2

I have a few questions about flashing CM 10.1

Hey guys, I have a few questions about flashing cm 10.1 wild for the night to my epic 4g touch on sprint. Im not new to this kind of stuff (i put android on my HP touchpad when development for android on it was fairly new successfully) but ive never flashed any roms on my E4GT. I have my phone rooted on GB27, besides for that its all stock though. I havent messed with any modems or custom recoveries or anything like that. Anyways, here are my questions:
How do I flash Clockwork mod?
Do I want to flash the ICS modem before or after the installation of CM? And do I have to have Clockwork Mod installed to flash the modem using mobile odin?
And should I basically follow QBkings video on it after installing CWM and the modem?
Thanks everyone!

First... mobile Odin will not flash modem's correctly..
Second.. I like to flash my modem first ( if I'm already on touchwiz ) because I can update my prl/profile..you can't update them on aosp/aokp/cm roms..
Third... use Odin on you're PC to flash cwm recovery...never use rom manager on this device... really you could use mobile Odin to flash.. remember that our recoveries are tied to the kernel's on this device..
Since you're already rooted you can use a little guide I made for flashing using mobile Odin... I can find the post if you want..

Official upgrades can`t be flashed in cwm.. Only with odin... If you are on stock rom now, flash it over with odin without any wipes and you will fine.. But if you have a custom rom you must be carefull `cause you will lose root, cwm, maybe data and your system will become odexed and none of the patches/mods will work again.

oh ok, thanks buddy
You can also find the stock rom made for CWM, it's already rooted and deodexed. A LOT of junk removed. All stuff works. (No system updates; who needs it anyway) This might help you.
