[Q] Downgrade my arc s from ics to gingerbread.

I recently upgraded my arc s to ICS beta. Since it has no bluetooth wifi or the android market, i want to downgrade it back to Gingerbread. Can some one please help? ps. stupid me did not make any backup before upgrading..
Thank You.

Have you tried the Official ICS yet? Maybe it will resolve some of the issues you were having.
If you really want to downgrade though, all you have to do is flash the respective ftf file using flashtool. You'll find lots of guides/resources for this in the development section.

I dd not try the official. where can i find it? i installed beta only.
thank you.

if u are trying to say u need the .42 ftf then its in the same link, just scroll down and look for : 4.0.2.A.0.42
Generic Trade Central Europe 1 (2.3.4) (1254-2716)
india generic hardly matters as Central Europe i believe is the same as if u flash this via flash tools. then as the phone will start u will on top get the language "hindi" option aswell or india "english" .. you can root this, then update via wifi to .62 n u will still have root
if u have unlocked ur bootloader make sure u have locked it so u be able to update to .62 via wifi

Just flash new ROM via odin...you can upgrade/downgrade your firmware via odin = they are just ROMS do whatever you like
i suggest if you are going with stock, just flash DXLC1(BTW dont make things complicated)

You can download an official firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330314
And use flashtool to flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000012
A .ftf package always comes with stock kernel, you don't need to install them separately

Thanks for your help
I was search for the stock kernal for along time and didn't know it included in the ftf file
thanks again
:good:

thanks for the reply..
is there any instructions for NOOB?
on how to INSTALL ICS ROM with LOCKBOOTLOADER? ftf FILES TO FLASH? TO ROOT? help please

After you get root, install CWM. Search it. It is the basic software that let's you install ROMS. Be patient. I was once like you and I am still learning. Use google to increase your percentage of getting answers.
Good luck!

Hi,
It is already available here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425192
Even I'm from India, so like me if you get a blank page for depositefiles.com, then make the http:// in the address bar to https:// and the site will open. Maybe our government blocked it in order to curb piracy.
Good luck
