[Q] Downgrade bootloader from V2.1 to V2.0 [Request]

ishafiq · Feb 28, 2012

Can some one help me in downgrading the boot loader from V2.1 to V2.0. My phone is dying (restarts) and i have tried flashing 2.3.6/2.3.4 and everything possible.

I cannot reset my counter as boot loader is at V2.1.

Saw some forums in SGS SII, where they have a patch for downgrading. Would anyone assist me like one for SGS R?

Thanks a lot~~

Have you tested it and it worked?

Don't bother resetting the counter. Samsung can not decline service just because you have an unofficial firmware. They can only blame that firmware to be the culprit for the issues you face and if flashing official stock doesn't fix the issues they are liable for the consequences. No where in the warranty card its written that flashing a custom ROM or kernel will void your warranty though its a gray area.

Man you need to go to a Samsung service center, its written there in bold that installing custom firmware/software will void your warranty.

If you still think what people here saying is wrong then take your handset with a custom ROM to a service center 'at your own risk' ofcourse.

Then tell us what transpires.

Great, can you share it?

king901412 · Mar 12, 2012

I saw the way is the below step:
1. extract the bootloader from the link file(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528256)

2. compress it to .tar file

3. use Odin and select bootloader.tar with PDA to flash it

yes~I am understand.

But I can't understand the ODIN select .tar(bootloader.bin) file on the ODIN PDA.
Why not the ODIN select .tar(bootloader.bin) file on the ODIN BOOTLOADER???

It's optional, both should work equally good.
