    Im wanting to downgrade my Samsung Wave S8500 from 2.0 to 1.2? Anyone no?

    Hi

    A few weeks ago I accidently uploaded the firmware on my phone to 2.0 through Kies.
    Its completely useless, things have been moved, buttons have been taken away and now the phones messed up!

    Id love to get the phone back to the way it was so i can find everything and hopefully get the buttons back!

    How do I do this? I havent a clue about flashing or multi-loaders or anything like that. Im a beginner lol

    Im 02UK.

    Can anyone explain to me in simple instructions how it can be done?

    Thanks v much!

    read the whole procedure twice

    1.backup everything you need to pc or memory card

    2.charge the battery and make sure you have a tleast 50 % full.

    3.type this code in *2767*3855#
    Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.

    PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.

    4.Type *#7465625# on your phone and check whether Sim Lock and network lock is off

    if the lock is on, then ,i think you are on a contract with your network and find a way to remove it.otherwise dont proceed.(the procedure is available in some forum, dont remember where)

    5.so now your Sim Lock and network lock is off.

    6.download the bada 1.2 firmware you want on your phone.
    download multiloader

    im using this custom firmware by
    [ Login above or register to see download links. ]
    if you need social hub premium (shp) download this file too [ Login above or register to see download links. ]


    7.extract every file and keep them in a folder.
    if you need shp , replace the original ShpApp.app file with the one you downloaded from 4shared link above.

    8.switch off the phone,(there should not be any sim and memory card in the phone), press the volume down button,call end key and lock key simultaneously for some second to enter download mode.

    9.connect the phone to pc using usb and open multiloader v5.65 ,tick LSI ,click port search and you should see LISMORE READY against any of the port.

    10.tick full download and drag and drop files from the folder( the folder from step 7).now it should look similar to the below picture.the files may be different as the firmware you are using is different from the picture.

    [ Login above or register to see download links. ]


    11.now check LSI is clicked,full download is clicked,and there are files against every row(boot,amms,apps till shp.app).some firmware may have some files less , you only have to make sure every file in the firmware is loaded in the multiloader.(use the shp.app file in 4shared if you need shp activated)

    12.click download.wait till you see the line "all files complete" in multiloader.the phone will restart now automatically.that means the flashing is successful.

    13.if you end up with an error in the multiloader after pressing the download, try again by connecting the phone again and making a port search(i usually get an error when i move from 1.2 to 2 or otherwise and no such error in between 1.2 firmwares)

    14.repeat step 3 to do a format after flashing.

    I thought may be I will clear a lot of common doubts here .

    as long as you are not in a network contract or the network lock is off , you can flash any firmware . the country of the firmware does not matter . only disadvantage is that you will have to get the gprs or the network settings manually .if it's from your country , the settings will be pushed when you switch on the phone , other than that there is no advantage . some may have some specific language like Arabic , so if you need something like that find the firmware with the language but English will be in most firmware .
