cant downgrade my gio

Hi,
I have a GT-S5660M.
Currently I have a firmware GT-S5660L, and android 2.3.6
Is impossible to downgrade, are strange, because I download for example a russian firmware with 2.3.4 or 2.2.x
And when I apply this with Odin, and restart and see in About phone... I still continue see 2.3.6
Why???
Few days ago, I connect my gio to my pc with Kies, and Kies update my gio to this 2.3.6...
Somebody can help me please.
I need root my gio too

Now... How I can solve the problem of firmware downgrade/upgrade
Sent from my GT-S5660L using xda app-developers app

With a properly rooted device Odin is the best way to go. Kies is not the greatest way to update when you are coming from a non-stock ROM and i don't know if Kies will even downgrade..

very easy!!
you must apply rom 4 files with Odin,2.2.x or 2.3.x
This rom must have 4 files,this is very important!!

Try downloading Kies and connecting your phone to it. Then it might realize you have an update in Kies. My phone didn't think I had an update available.

If it is a BTU, then no luck, we don't have an update yet. I am using an XEF DMA6 and it works good.

What is mean BTU?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Btu is the country code if i understand correctly. There still is no UK release to date, this was one of my main reasons for dumping htc with the lack of love they gave unlocked international devices. Get your finger out Samsung.

You don't need root to flash a stock rom via Odin, i told you that it worked with me, and i have an unbranded note 2 with country code BTU (kies display the code when connected to your device) bought it from England.

Updating to 4.2.2 problem

Hey guys I'm using 4.1.2 on my galaxy grand and I'd like to upgrade to 4.2.2. Problem is, when I try to software update it it just says software already up to date. Is this a regional problem? I'm in Maldives. Whatever the problem is I'd like a solution please.

Downgrade android version?

Hello there.
I'm hoping someone will help me. I'm trying to downgrade the android version on my T999 from 4.1.2 To 4.1.1 please help.

If you never did the 4.3 official update then you can just Odin to 4.1.1, or if you have custom recovery you can flash a 4.1.1 ROM as well.. Pretty sure there's threads on this subject
