How to RESTORE Gingerbread OS with Samsung's official KARNEL

Hello Guys,

I have a Samsung GT-I9070. Being a newbie I've managed to Mod/Upgrade my Handset to the following for better performance i.e.,

1. Baseband Version: I9070DDULP8

2. Karnel Version: 3.0.31 -CoCore-E-6.0 | cocafe@ubuntu #4 | SMP PREEMPT Wed May 1 12:32:26 | CST 2013

3. Build number: JellyMOD 4.0

My question is can it be restored to Gingerbread OS? (Please note that I've tried once to downgrade but failed since the karnel hasn't changed)

My 2nd question is How to restore Samsung's original karnel that is used with Gingerbread OS?

Please provide me detailed guideline.

Thanks

Perhaps your Questions and your thoughts contradict each other.

If I paraphrase your question in a sane manner - "I want a detailed guide to flash back Gingerbread firmware", the second link by arffrhn would suffice.

There is NO OTHER SAFE way back to GB. If you have failed once, then I suggest DO NOT repeat yourself! If you really need the GB Stock Kernel, then you will have to hunt for a ROOTED GB I9070 and back up the original Kernel, doesn't make sense though.

You do not need it. Anyway when you install custom kernel - you do not need your stock kernel. This is just one step skiped.

"And no need to use your kernel (repacking), just install CoCore."

P.S. You can't install that ROM, because it is for Jelly Bean.

JellyBean 4.1.2 with CoCo v5.6...v7.2

I have to put my question here cause I'm not allowed to post it directly in the right thread about the CoCore. (I'm new here). I want to ask the developer(s) directly. I've used the stock-kernel and always the system hangs/sound stutter after a while. The solution is to set the background processes to max 4 because obviously the stock-kernel gives the main process not the right priority.

With the CoCore (I've tested v5.6 - v7.2) all works fine without the limit setting. Really smooth and fast. But with it I get another weird problem. If I play some mp4 videos with the mVideoPlayer (which internally uses the stock-player) I get some big graphic bugs (see attachment). I have to say that it appears only when I play it in landscape after a while using the system. With stock-kernel I never had such an issue. Then the bug appears allso in other apps (but only landscape). I don't know what to do. Maybe I can change some kernel-settings. But I don't know which causes my problems.

Some people may think Sony not releasing ICS for the play is the end of this great phone.

Could people please post any roms they know on this thread so. I can have a good idea of how many I need to review. The videos will be available on YouTube so people can easily accessible them
