Welcome . New thread with tutorial how to come back from JB to GB .
First you need Odin to flash your phone . If you're here you propably have got one :) . I recomend 3.04 or higher or 1.86 version .
1.Connect your phone to PC with Odin Flash Mode (home+ volume down + power during start )
2.In the Odin select PIT , CSC , PDA Files from pack :

It's only one rom with all working files i found in the internet .
It's Rom for Russia (SEB) and will change your region code .
3. Flash :)
4.Welcome on GB again :) . For sure to the time of full release of JB :) .

PIT File only :

(You can try to flash one file rom . It's can work . Maybe . But more safe metod is using full SEB Rom )

FIRST YOU NEED TO FLASH USING SEB ROM IN POST , THEN ANY GB YOU WANT !
Q and A
1.Did I can flash any GB ROM using one file rom and the added PIT File ?
A:No , you can't . First you need reflash your phone using russian 3 file rom , after this you can do everything you want .
2. It's working ?
If you know what is Odin , how to flash and doing everything like in this how to , for sure this is working :) .

Using the above linked PIT together with a firmware for Europe (so starting with XX...; exactly the XXLL2) didn't bring me back to GB. Flashing worked fine, but afterwards the device had a bootloop (stopped at Samsung's logo) and booting into <3e> (Samsung's recovery OS) wasn't possible.

So I'll try with the "russian" firmware now.

how is this different form previous stock versions?

Hi friends,

Is there something you changed in the PIT files for this?

What will happen if I have JB and I take a stock UK LL2 f/w from samfirmware and flash it?

thanks in advance...

Your phone will stuck on Ace 2 Screen .
First you need to flash using Russian Rom then you will be able to flash using UK Rom with change the regio code .
No , PIT File is original without any mods .

If I'm not mistaken,the pit file is the same for the entire Europe.
The problem is UK rom which does not contains all files needed.
Only Russia ROM contains all files needed to downgrade to GB.

thanks....also I've just downloaded PIT creator from
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936

Do you think it will help?
How do i create a UK ROM PIT for myself and avoid "falling into it" ?

regards,
jeev
The Problem isn't PIT File . It's universial for GB Roms . Problem is that you need to use 2 file ROM . Only one I found in the internet is this from Russia . Faster way is to install SEK Rom from first post . Then Reflash UK Rom and change Regional Code using *#272*IMEI# .

Thank you for this, will try as soon as download completes, JB is awesome but still unstable.

Edit: worked great, flashed Russian ROM first, then Polish LL8.
Notes:

- for other noobs like me, the CODE goes to PDA in ODIN
- as mentioned above, after you flash the second ROM, set the regional code by using *#272*IMEI# (generic EU is XEO I believe, it's what I had before I went to JB).

    Redownload FW, reflash FW, then recovery mode, wipe cache and data, you get a booting!

    Is full GB firmware applicable?

    Thank you for your fast response ;)

    I had already done it, but i repeated all the process (including redownloading the firmware) with same result, GB doesn't boot, phone remains stuck at Ace2 logo and only "download mode" is available so I couldn't perform wipes :(

    Nevertheless I tried to go back to JB (MG2) and... SURPRISE, phone boots and recovery mode is available again, I was able to load SU patch, temporary CWM and even CM10 and MIUI5, BUT... touch screen doesn't respond at all, including menu and back buttons, so I couldn't bypass menu selection window in any firmware :eek:

    Trying to downgrade to GB again produces same results, lack of recovery and phone stuck. I think phone is condemned to use JB but I have no clue about how to solve touch screen problem (I haven't found similar sympthoms across the threads).
