[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Piachnp:
I downgraded because i was having some hardware problems with the miniusb port.

Anyway, Jelly Bean was big frustration performance wise. Of course, from a features point of view is miles ahead of GB, but the awful performace is just not acceptable. JB stock is pretty much unusable. To make it even bearable you have to get custom kernel and some other mods (other dialer for instance because stock lags like a motherfu*#er). Even then is still behind GB in performance and battery life.

I haven't tried custom ROMs, but i don't think they are much different than a modded stock JB. Neither have i tried CM yet, because i watch a lot of videos and use the video recorder. If they get around this issues on CM it could be a valid choice....

Movistar will give a new phone to reeplace my faulty one, and i'm not planning to flash JB..... when I came back to GB a few days ago (before taking the cellphone to movistar service center) i realized how much JB sucked (you kind of get used to it working like crap).

So i think i will be waiting some more before i make the jump to JB/CM

Anyway, that's my experience, and my opinion. Some people find JB very usuable with some tweaks.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] juanchotazo99:
Argentine guy here, too. So, let's say I'd like to try GB... since I flashed JB right away when I got my SGA two months ago, and a friend showed me her SGA with GB and well, apart from the ocassional interface stutter which is always going to be there in GB, it was REALLY snappy. CM10.1-like snappy, amazing. Yes, as you said JB is head and shoulders above GB feature wise, but apart from that it's not that much of a "downgrade" considering the battery life and performance you gain, I think. When the CM guys get the video recording sorted out I'll be using that, but meanwhile I agree, JB is smooth but lags a lot, it gets on my nerves most of the time! Flashing it, doing all the wipes, installing cocore, going all the way to using 4cylturbo/directinject and crossbreeder and there's still some places where it lags, and it gets irritating.

CWM backup first, then I'll flash stock JB... then proceed to flash GB as per your experience... or I might go on with JB, I don't know, lol. What I'd like to know is exactly how you did it... If I understood you correctly, you flashed the PDA in the downgrade thread without the CSC and PIT files, and left all the odin 1.85 settings as they were (I mean, if you're not flashing the PIT file you don't need to tick the repartition box, right?) or did you do something else...?

Thank you!!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] TheBeast:
How is that possible when Odin aborts the process and asks for a PIT file?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Piachnp:
That is right, I just flashed the PDA file from the downgrade guide like any other PDA, meaning that you don't have to check the re-partition box or anything like that. After that, when the downgrade was done, i flashed the GB firmware i wanted (movistar, argentina in my case), you could use the unbranded ARO firmware.

Odin didn't ask for any PIT file... maybe you have to uncheck the re-partition box.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Piachnp:
Just an update, I tried this again with 2 other phones and succeded. There are people posting problems with the other method, but this thread seems to be lost in the forum. I will give another heads up on the official downgrade guide, just in case.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Boldie90:
So, when i'm understanding your posts, it's possible to use the PDA-file of my country to downgrade JB to GB?

If so, it would be genius. I've JB on my Samsung and it's constantly freezing, hanging and restarting my device.

The cause is of course unknown, and I don't have to count on Samsung. Even when I installed another JB (also stock) it's crappy too.

Thank you in advance, i'm wondering whether this works for me. :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Piachnp:
Actually no, first you must flash the PDA from the downgrade guide (just the PDA, no PIT, and no CSC file). After that, you can flash your country or any other GB PDA.

In both cases only use PDA files, no re-partition needed.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Boldie90:
Ah, I see. Now thanks anyway.

Thirst I tried what I've just said, but it failed... of course the machine hangs.

Now I did the tutorial, and then I did the update and it worked!!! Now I have a stable Gingerbread without freezing, restarting etc.

So nice tutorial!

O the first time I did re-partition, when I updated the PDA for my own region I didn't.

Phone works like a charm!!! :laugh::victory:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] jaycm1130:
have you tried this with the other two phones that you downgraded to GB?.. just curious..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Piachnp:
Actually no, just with mine. If anyone gets around the CSC problem please report

I was trying to transfer some music file to my phone, but my Kies (Win 7 64bit and Win 7 32bit) could not detect my phone I tried to re install the drivers several time without any luck, phone still charging by PC and when ever I uninstall driver from PC and connect my phone PC start installing all the driver and install driver without any error but still my phone doesn't show up in kies or in windows and connected devise.

It would be appreciated if some one guide me to resolve this issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xtechx:
I've never installed Kies in my life, so I can't comment on it's functionality. nor am I stock...but before I rooted and started flashing, my Rogers S4 was stock.

I used the AT&T drivers to get it to connect in debug or MTP mode. Maybe they will help. You can find them HERE. click downloads or see all downloads and then EXE on the right for the USB Drivers...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nomi640:
still no luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xtechx:
well I know those drivers work for fact. My Rogers S4 was running VLUAMDJ software...my computer installed some drivers but it didn't work...it never showed up. just like your symptoms. I uninstalled my existing Samsung drivers (which I downloaded when I got my Note 2)...reboot...install those drivers I linked you to, connected phone...detected right away and MTP started working as expected.

so you either have issues with your system (software wise), or it's a faulty cable. I'm going to lean towards the latter first. It's not the first time I've seen that. feel free to try another cable...also if you want...plug your phone in and take a shot of dev mgr and paste it so I can review...or PM me the pic if you prefer....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alphadog00:
I thought kies had a troubleshooting mode. Have you tried that? It is referenced I the noob rooting video.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nomi640:
Here is pic for my dev mngr, I tried 3 usb cable, kies troubleshooting but still not showing up, when I plug my phone kies start-up but does phone does not show up in computer or kies.

Thanks for all reply, I can't send phone to Samsung for repair either because I bought from kijiji and Samsung warranty is not transferable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nomi640:
Any idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xtechx:
sorry forgot about the thread, my apologies. I haven't been using tapatalk as much recently, and that's where I used to check my participated threads.

I don't have those devices under ports if I have usb debugging on or off...weird. I'm on win8 x64...the only thing I didn't expand was Portable devices...I only have the two references in my dev mgr....

can you try uninstalling all the detected devices in dev mgr, and delete the driver from the system when doing so? then disconnect the phone, reboot, install those at&t drivers, then plug the phone in and test?

I want to recommend removing Kies before all of that, but not sure if you used it in the past, where it store the backed up data, etc..if you've never used it then please do uninstall Kies before what I mention above...

let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nomi640:
Tried everything but no luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xtechx:
I've installed those drivers on 3 different windows 7 systems this week and not one has failed to recognize MTP on the device first try...I even soft bricked my device a couple days ago, odin'ed back to VLUAMDJ stock, installed drivers on a win8 system that had never had an Android device plugged into it and wasn't connected to the internet (just installed those at&t drivers from a usb drive)...guess what...worked again..

It shouldn't work so easily for soo many people then not at all for you. I'm baffled at how easily it works for me even, and I've been trying to make it not work. I"m a technician I enjoy trying to break things to see if I can duplicate an issue, and fix it....and I can't duplicate your issue.

either something to with your USB port(s), or drivers (either mobo chipset or usb), or windows installation. if you have usb that are controller by a chipset like Intel then other USB that are another chipset, try on the other "bank" so to speak...you'd have ot know how to look for that if you had it though...or try it on someone elses computer with those at&t drivers. don't connect the phone until you install the drivers.

if it's not usb port(s), drivers, or the windows installation you either have 3 bad micro USB or you have a faulty USB port on your phone. or pocket lint preventing a proper connection (although I've assumed you've looked for that already)...those are the only things left.

LwW users who are not able to install here's the solution.

Extract the ROM.

Go to META-INF->com->Google->Android and there you will see an updater script.

Replace it with the one in the attachments and zip the whole file again.

This should work.

i test the rom. i like because:- is smooth. -a lot of options at customisation in carbon.- don't have mutch apps preinstalled

i don't like: - can't get rid of google search bar. - missing data on off on status bar toggles. - is only one theme better more themes.-missing torch apps(havendroid is nice)

i hope you will not include apollo is better to add like addon flashable thru CWM. if you can do an addon and for sonywalkman, but please keep the rom clean of app that can remain unused(like apollo for me)

and i don't like the camera app. is like from havendroid, without any options, and focus is not working very well. was better focus when half camera key pressed....
