[Q] Downgrade from CyanogenMod 7.1 Problem

---

I had flashed my galaxy 5 i5500 to CyanogenMod 7.1 (aka 2.3.5) but i need to downgrade it to 2.2 or 2.1.
I had been read some guide saying that need to flash the downgrade.tar file using odin. i already done it but my phone reboot automatically and keep repeating the welcome page(as shown)


i though i had done the step for downgrade.tar, then i flash it again with the 2.2 firmware, but i still stuck at the odin,as picture show:


So now what can i do?can some body help?pleaseT.T

You need to format data,system,cache, and dalvik cache before downgrading. Use odin to get you in clockwork and do the above then reboot you do have a back up of your phone just in case dont you..

Also, i had the same issue with odin getting stuck and it was because my drivers were 'stuck'. I had to un-install kies, install kies, reboot computer and then re-start odin. If you try that, be sure to keep your phone in download mode.

hope this helps
