i9001 downgrade from lollipop to jelly bean - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could give me an easy to follow guide to downgrade to Jelly bean. Lollipop has proved too much for this old phone. I just refuse to buy a new phone when this still works great and holds the battery very well.
thanks

Jellyfish flashed but PlayStore always crashes
So, thanks for the help, it was as simple as you described it. Although no matter what JellyFish I flash and what gapps, the Play Store always crashes. Anyone knows why? Thanks

Updating Android to Jelly Bean After CWM

Hello, everyone!
Following your guides I was able to root my mobile successfully and I'm very pleased about it. However, the current Android version is 2.3.6 and I'm unable to upgrade it, due to having CWM installed so the natural software update no longer works for me. I've read I need to put update.zip on my SD card and run it like the same process with a few other installations I've used with CWM. My problem is, I can't find 4.1.2 for S6500D anywhere, can someone help me with this problem? Or give me some insight? Kies doesn't work for me, I have the lastest version, but it always says my model doesn't support initialisation, although it does show there's a new firmware upgrade for the mobile phone.
Thanks in advance! Appreciate it.

This link may can help you, CM10 / Jelly Bean v4.1.2

Official Update to Android 4.1.2 on N7000XXLPT? S-Pen issues!

Hello everyone. I just brought an Note with BB.N7000XXLPT, Kernel/Build XXLQ3. Unrooted with Android 4.0.3.
KIES and OTA says I have latest firmware, but I read that NOTE`s latest firmware is Android 4.1.2.
How can update to official Android 4.1.2 without rooting? Is that possible?
Now, my S-Pen is not work correctly. Sometimes works, when I press hardly, but very rarelly. Touchscreen display works just fine. Is that a common issue, is pen broken or is because Android ICS 4.0.3?
I`m new on this, just pls. help.

Where are you from? Maybe the JB update isn't available for your country until today.
You can install a Stock JB Rom (one of the official releases) with PC Odin.
Install JB and test your pen again - then you'll know if it's broken.
10x for quick answer ThaiDai. I`m from Romania. And I think the update is not ready here (it comes very slowly from carriers).
Pls. can give me advices how to install latest official stock Android with Odin, without rooting (I mean, i hope kies and OTA still working after).
Links, tutorials or something?
I just tested s-pen with testing tools and is working chaotic.
10x in advance. Jim
Dr. Ketan's thread is the thing you need.
Follow the installation steps in 1a and 1b.
You can try XXLSZ from Germany (download links in his thread).
How about S-Pen, what do you think, is a common problem or is my S-Pen broken or an 4.0.3 issue. How can I fix this?
And btw, on step 1b says to flash an custom kernel (PhilZ) first and then flash stock kernel. This make device rootable and KIES and OTG will not be available? (Allshare and Radio too)?
I try all day to do something with S-Pen, but useless. S-Pen works time to time and need really preasure to write/draw something. Sometimes I hope not cracking the display with that high pressure. I read tons of threads but never find someone with this issue. Mostly have issues with to sensitive pressure and 2mm inaccuracy (present in my case too). Help pls?
Did you install another Rom and check S-Pen after this?
ThaiDai no. I just stay on stock 4.0.3 what comes with the device. I just can`t understand why bunch of ppl over internet has problems o Note 1 with to much sensitivity at S-Pen, an I haven`t it at all. I need to stab the display to draw a single dot.
Install JB and test your pen again - then you'll know if it's broken.
You should try this first - from lamenting it will not get better.
I`ll try somehow to test my s-pen on other device or some othe s-pen on my Note to test it. If I can`t, device has guarantee certificate and that`s why I don`t update to JB, temporary. Is very strange tho...
You don`t reply to my question. If I want to update to JB, need to install (PhilZ) first and then flash stock kernel? This make device rootable and KIES and OTG will not be available? (Allshare and Radio too)?
10x in advance ThaiDai.

And you don't read what is written there. No stock kernel but a stock rom is installed.
But why do you ask JB installation questions when you do not want to install JB?
So use your certificate and let Samsung repair your device or pen
I`ll do that. And if my problem is fixed, after I`ll try an JB Rom. 10x ThaiDai.
ThaiDai, installed 4.2.1 official germany stock via Odin and works great. This week I'm going to Samsung service to solve my SPen problem.

[Q] Baked Black Bean 9 ROM

Hey guys and gals,
First off, I want to thank all the devs for their hard work on creating these roms and kernels for such a great phone. I rooted my phone a little less than a year ago following a guide by jocala, and using RebelRom. From my understanding, the phone is still rooted. I have done nothing to change that so I hope it remained rooted.
My question today is in regards to the Baked Black Bean 9 release. Does it follow the same installation as other roms? Such that download the rom, move it to the sdcard, boot into the recovery mode, wipe it all, flash the room then gapps? If so, that is fine, I will just have to reread on how to do all that to the T so the phone does not get bricked, lol. If it is different, can anyone please explain?
My current phone state is :
Model Number: SGH-T679
Android Version: 2.3.6
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-custom [email protected] #7
Build Number: RebelRom 3.0.7 Milestone 2.A
Also, is swype supported by this ROM ? I loved swype but couldn't seem to get it to work with RebelRom.
Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Yes Baked is installed like the others. Nandroid your setup however in case you don't like how things turn out. Wipe everything, flash the ROM and then Gapps. Please keep in mind the latest Baked is funny on first boot. You have to let it sit for around 5 minutes or so. Press the power key once (screen will be black) and then it will reboot in a bit. Everything is easy breezy Japanesey after that.
On Swype I can't tell you, I use Swiftkey.
THANK YOU. Finally something new and it comes preinstalled with a swype or something of that sort. Now I need to figure out how block the used dial attacks said in the wiki. It seems I'm still on uvl1. Nonetheless this forum is fantastic and the people are tremendously helpful. Also I flashed black Bean first top give it a go.
Any other amazing apps to try out?

Well I hate to tell you this but the only way to get the latest baseband is to flash Peach or the latest stock ROM, then revert back to Baked. What I did was nandroid, flash Peach, then restore the nandroid. Do NOT sign in to Google when/if you flash Peach or stock. Otherwise you will lose sync with Google Play which is a mess to re-sync. Just reboot recovery immediately after install.
On apps, there's a lot of good ones but depends on what you're looking for. For basics go with Boat Browser mini for web browsing and Poweramp for music. Use Seeder for a little less lag (Google "entropy" to learn more). And yes, I would pay the $5 for Poweramp especially if you're a music lover. Very worth it. The Google music app is awful IMO. Also make sure you have Google Maps installed so Google Now works properly.
Hope that helps you get started.

I do not think that pirate software is being supported on XDA forum...
BTW, I see on Play store that version may be different depending on Android version, maybe you have JB version, and trying to use it on GB...
I now that chacking is bad but i have one minecraft PE copy that was (and still is) working on :
Gingerbread 2.3.6 (costom gingerbread olso) Jellybean 4.1 , 4.2 ,4.3 , Kitkat 4.4.2 , 4.4.3 , 4.4.4 and on my nexus 7 it works too. So i can send it somehow to u if u really want.

Minecraft install issue myself on my sons phone, its different, a galaxy s fascinate, but the problem just happened when I went to the new cm11 6-04 build I could no longer install the mcpe apk files when I have had it running on lots of roms from here, 4.2.2 even older and up to 4.4.2 du was running but the cyanogenmod cm11 rom will not let me install the game... I don't play minecraft but my 6yo son loves it, hate to go back to a previous build/Rom but that's my next step flashing back to the last build that will let me install it.. I only have had this problem on the 6-04 cm11 build with 4.4.2, dirty unicorns ran it fine.. Hmmm

Downgrade to kitkat from lollipop

Hi
i can downgrade my note to kitkat from lollipop without any problems?
I made root in lollipop...
Thanks
Yes, just have to find your phones kk firmware and flash through Odin.
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Ok
what the best stock version of kitkat to get the best battery life?
I install the israeli version and i get same battery life like lollipop
thanks
I would highly recommending installing the stock version of KitKat that is released for your country.
Yes, i've just done this myself. I got the phone last week, and in amongst all the other 9 million pop-ups that Samsung provide, I accidently pressed yes to upgrade to lollipop.
I ran it for a day and the lag was terrible, so I have now gone back to KitKat. As above, I just went for stock for my country. It seems a lot better now. Once they release another lollipop patch i'll update. It's a shame, as I still think my htc one m8 is slightly faster. It feels more responsive. Anyway, thats off topic.
As above, just use Odin. I'm new to modding Samsung devices really, but managed it easy enough following the various guides around.
Did you guys have to factory reset your device after the downgrade?
If so, does the Kies application backup function safe the application data (logged in accounts, safegames, application settings etc.) too?
