downgrade - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

I have a problem with my os. I' ve install android 4.0.4 on my galaxy w. There are many problems, so I want back android 2.3.6. If i try to install any custom rom 2.3.6 it failed.
Can someone help me???

You have to give more information than just "it gives problems". What kind of problems? What kind of errors? What you tried to do and didn't work?
If you don't give any information is impossible to help you

Care to provide us more info..I see no reason why a ROM upgrade esp. on ICS can give you problems as compared to use stock ROM.
Care to provide :
1. Which ICS ROM you are using ?
2. Did you do a Titanium BackUp of Apps (previously on GB)
Please advise :good:

I tried about 4 roms from xda-developers and i found about 2 "official firmwares 2.3.6" on any other pages.
Every time it said:
Opening update package...
Can't open ... .zip
(bad)
Installation aborded.

Maybe your zip file is damaged.
check theme for errors and download them again.
If not answered go for odin flash.

This is the message you get if you try to install a Rom zip file using the stock recovery,as you have found is does not work. You need a cwm recovery for rom zips and stock 2.3.6 roms need Oden to be used for installation.

What version of the Galaxy Nexus do you have? Are you using the right files for your device?

Take the recovery .tar file from here according to your firmware (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Then follow this step by step instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19
This will have to be done each time you flash a firmware through Odin.
If after flashing you get a bootloop, simply boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and you'll be good :good:

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with school.
But will this work with the GT-i9082l? I know some firmware doesn't work with other variants of this phone.
Also I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.4 and I was trying to flash Cyanogen Mod 10.1 for the Grand.
Please Help

Yea same will work for i9082L, just make sure the recovery you are using is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2.2, whichever you are flashing it on.
You can flash CM10.1 through any recovery you are using (but CM10.1 only works on 4.1.2 firmware)

Could I Put this on the sdcard instead of the internal memory?
Also this is what it says when ever i try to flash CM 10.1 or any other ROM
Finding update package...
Opening update Package...
Installing update...
Install from sdcard complete.
Then when I reboot the phone it stays at the Samsung Galaxy Grand page.

Yes you can put it on sd card.
Make sure you are on 4.1.2 before installing CM10.1, if you are not that's the reason for your bootloop.
And wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM10.1 or any other ROM.
Still doesnt work. :crying:
It was stock 4.1.2, then I tried to update it to 4.2.2 using ODIN but it failed (This is the reason why i'm trying to install CM 10.1).
Is the phone 4.2.2 or 4.1.2?

Your firmware flash failed in the middle? If this happened you need to reflash the 4.1.2 firmware before you can flash any ROM on it.

Problem with CWM and Flashing Custom Roms

Hey guys i need some help. I took out my old Galaxy Grand Duos and thought about rooting it to get Android Kitkat ( I have an International version which has never been rooted before ). I rooted it successfully however I am facing problem with the CWM recovery. When i first installed it I was getting the 'No Command" error. I read on XDA that I need to perform a battery pull in order to get the CWM working. I did that and it worked but it only works when I use odin to flash it. Otherwise when ever I enter recovery I get the 'No Command' error. What should I do?
Secondly im trying to install this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563557 . When i get the CWM working (by flashing it with Odin) there seems to be an error which prevents me from flashing this rom. The message I get is *Cant install this package on top of incapable data. Please try another package or run a factory reset. Error in (the file location and name) (Status 7) Installation aborted*
Thanks in advance

You need to have latest recovery to flash.
Any latest recovery has SE Linux support. Choose latest version or build of your choice from below threads and flash it using your recovery..

I don't know where there is a flasheable zip off hand, but you can make your own, there are several tutorials online, search for something like "Convert stock rom to flashable zip"

When you say failing, what do you mean? what is the error that you are getting on the phone?
i ask because i am having similar issues. am currently on lineage 7.1.1 and i found a single post out there that mentioned that when i flashed up to 7.1.1 that it triggered a fuse in the flash memory, that cannot be reversed. The error message i get seems to indicate that this is correct. fused2 > binary 1 - meaning that my handset is fused to 2 but the one i am flashing is only a 1.
i have a fully working phone on 7.1.1 but i want to revert to stock and am unable to do so
