Anybody know how to restore a Galaxy back to Gingerbread?

Why did you take her Galaxy?

 

Does not compute, does not compute.

 

How do I go from Bunny with a Pancake on Its Head back to Fnord?

 

Come to think of it, I've not seen Gingerbread here in a while.

 

She's probably pissed that this Tucson person took her Galaxy.

 

Thing's going to look sweet when it's restored.

 

Rooting is probably your best bet, which isn't THAT tough to do. xda-developers is a good site for a lot of that stuff.

 

I went through this with Ice Cream Sandwich... back your shit up on an SD card and take it to a company store. Tell them they need to restore the system because this OS is shit. You might be able to reset yourself with them walking you through it on the phone, but it's a bitch.
When/if you get back to square one and it's the old system, NEVER accept system update. I went through this with my phone and they could never revert the OS, so they gave me a new phone...

 

What version of Galaxy phone are we talking about?

 

@Rumple: I might root. A buddy who offered to help suggests rooting and upgrading to Jelly Bean (sorry, Versatile).

@Slappy: Good call. I'm planning to go the Sprint store later this week. I've heard that restoring to factory settings solves a lot of the problems I'm having with the over-the-air ICS upgrade. If I've gotta live with ICS, would be cool if I could work a new phone out the deal. I could always have my friend hack the newer Galaxy.

@NOLU: It's the Galaxy Epic 4G Touch SII

 

The OS on smallpotatoes' phone is probably Good Green Stuff.

 

Happened again. Phone downloaded and installed the upgrade on its own yesterday. Spent an hour at Sprint this morning trying to restore it. This time, it worked.
