Q/Help please: Downgrading from 2.3.3 gingerbread to stock 2.2.1 froyo (S5830)

---

Hi, I've just gotten my galaxy ace for 3 days. I updated my fone to gingerbread using S5830XXKPE and odin from samfirmware. It's been restarting/shutting down by itself after the update so I wanted to downgrade to froyo again but I tried downloading and flashing a lot of other versions but, no luck. It hangs and stays at the "Galaxy ace" part of the boot and doesn't open. But whenever I flash it back to S5830XXKPE, it opens and works but I think it is bugged and I really cannot downgrade to other firmwares. Is anyone else having the same problem??? Help please >_<


Update:

I've successfully flashed it with S5830XXKPB but still its GB 2.3.3, I still can't flash it with froyo 2.2.1 firmwares. help pretty pleaseeeee...

Download a multipackage 2.2.1 firmware, one that when you unzip it will have several files. You probably flashed a single package .tar that caused the brick.
A single package update contains only some files to be replaced over the original 2.2 firmware and is not the full rom so you'll have to flash a multi package then update to your desired single package.

Thanks for replying. Actually I'm using odin multidownloader 4.38 and yes, I did use the multipack not a single .tar.

Here are the list of firmware I've downloaded and used to flash my phone but unsuccessful all attempts: (and some firmware I've deleted because of anger lol) )

S5830XXJLC
S5830XXKA7
S5830XWKB7
S5830XXKC1

and now these two are the ones that boot up when I flash on my phone: (both GB)

S5830XXKPE
S5830XXKPB

I did successfully downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 though. I believe the firmware from Samfirmware.com will have labelled "MULTI-CSC" or something like it.. I can't check now it's midnight here and sleeping time...

okay, I'll try that too. Imma download 2.3.4 from samfirmwares then try downgrading to froyo. I'll tell ya how it goes. (crosses fingers) )

yeah, actually I tried that exact firmware S5830XWKB7 posted above. :P I think I'll just have it returned to where I got it. thanks for the replies people

It was I'm ly after rooting that i had the restart issue and only when titanium backup was using super user access. After upgrading super user in the market everything was fine after that - v2.3.4 running sweet now.

S5830XXKA6 was what I used. But oh well it would always be better to get a fresh phone
