[Q] How return i8160P to stock after JB

Has anyone figured out how to make a i8160P still a P after returning to stock GB. Any time I've tried to flash the original firmware the phone remains a regular i8160 and states that a custom power management has been installed. The NFC works but the device has no IMEI and insists at boot and in the device menu it is an i8160.

I don't think it is possible after you have flashed i8160 firmware

I've tried various different things but to no avail. It is a shame about my impatience. Especially considering the Germany i8160P, which is the one I have, has gotten the Jelly Bean update first. :silly:

Use I8160P GB SER ( include Pit File, ussualy) and then back to stock Germany GB for I8160P, and flash the new one...
If it doesn't work...
Go to your Samsung Service Center..

Sadly that first step doesn't work. It throws up the Custom Power Management Error and you loose your IMEI. Samsung won't deal with it since the device was not available in my region.

As far as I know the is no SER (RUS) version of 8160P available only 8160...
Tried this also with the RUS 8160 GB to get back 8160P. But didn't work....

Why someone want to return to GB?

please follow this link: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...ndroid412-jellybean-downgrade-gingerbread.htm
1 - install the firmware I8160XXLK6 rev00
2 - install the last firmware before updated to jelly bean for your model
3 - reset your phone

This does not apply for 8160P (Ace 2 with NFC)... best case, you will have to flash back to MB2/MB4/MC8... mid case no modem/IMEI (no NFC, 3G, etc.)... worst case: brick! Do NOT attempt if you have 8160P!
I tried this, to regain NFC and to be able to flash JB ME1, but when trying to flash GB for 8160P over the Russian rom I got custom modem. Immediatly flashed back to MB2, stuck there now (MC8 is horrible!)

If you manage to install GB for 8160P w/o losing your IMEI, tell me how you did it... but probably you will encounter CUSTOM MODEM errors when flashing original 8160P fw (after having flashed SER for 8160)

You need a complete firmware.
The problem its I8160XXMB4. This Firmware include Bootloader, new memory management, ipl...
Once you have instaled mb4, your phone will be a "true" i8160 until you can flash a complete i8160p firmware, and in this moment, i believe that dont exit any complet i860p firmware, so You can still update your ace with any i8160 uptade, but not more i8160p, until some new "complete packaged" will be leak of course.

Could someone with a P that hasn't been flashed update a full firmware dump?

Should be "easy".
You need a i8160p rooted and some linux knowledge
The "only" problems are:
1º. You need to know the path to block files, normally they are in /dev/block
2º. You need to suppose that block are each partition (system, userdata, sdcard, modem, bootloader, sbl, cache...)
3º. You need a SD card with enough free space
Once you have all, should be "easy" dump each partition:
dd if=/dev/block/blockxxx of=/sdcard/bootloader.raw
dd if=/dev/block/blockxxy of=/sdcard/system.raw
...
where blockxxx should be each block device
But even when you can obtain all partitions and you can identify them, you still need create a firmware with them or flash some of them on other devices, with the correspondence risk and privacy problem form the dump owner... well, the owner could of course delete userdata, sdcard, efs... partitions

I had it with 6xx MB ram... but I wanted an unbranded fw. Would love italian job, but e.g. the SMS app from android 4.2 sucks on the small screen, and some other things. Or does smb have the whole ME1 stock apps? Then I could flash them to MC8 italian job

[DISCUSSION]JellyBean for baseband ZS*** is possible?

As I know, I8160ZS*** can't update to Jellybean.
And if I flash samsung official 4.1.2 (with baseband XX***), I will got "baseband unknown".
So I tried to flash CM10.2 by TeamCanjica, and replace /system/lib/tee files to my own.
After reboot, it works very good.
Baseband isn't unknown and IMEI isn't disappear.
But it still no signal.
I think it can be modified by developers.
Is it possible?
--------------
Sorry for my poor English.

No one knows how to fix it?
Or it is impossible?

I bought the phone in China on TaoBao (Chinese EBAY) and it was made for Poland. It came with an unlocked 2.3.6 which from the beginning did not see my sim card. I flashed all the way up to cm11 and all worked great except the modem which never saw my sim card. I went back to stock European 2.3.6 two times and built it back up including trying to flash a modem or two. Still no sim.
I then found the official Chinese (has english too) 4.1.2 and flashed that with ODIN. All is working great but still no network. THEREFORE I am guessing that when this thing was built for Poland it had a special modem (hardware) that only works there?
Now I am downloading all the 4.1.2 firmwares built for Poland in the hope that one of them can drive whatever modem is in this thing.
Heading to bed now (UTC +8) and will report back in the morning.

I wonder if Restoring via Kies as mentioned here would work for the GT-S7560M too?
When submitting my Serial Number, Kies gives me the following
"Initialized Version: PDA:MF4 / PHONE:MF4 / CSC:MF1 (CHO)"
How can I verify that that's the same as what I have right now?
How can I make sure I have my phone back to the original state in case I have to give it back to the carrier with guarantee issues?
I read that "any firmware" would do for this phone, but mine is not listed on sam-mobile (Tigo Bolivia).
The baseband is available as coming from various countries (including Guatemala as "Daver18qc's Deodexed/Rooted Guatemala" as mentioned in the FAQ just that that has a different baseband.) - Does that matter?
