Those already upgrade to 2.3.4. Can you fresh back to 2.2.1 asian version?

xizzat is super correct in this case y'all. so read up GB risk-takers, cuz ur gonna need this if u want to update official GB with Kies.

I also tried the leaked gingerbread version, and I also got the hard brick thingy. Already felt a little regret switching to leak GB, but, I found ur saviour! The thing is, the GB is a multi-package firmware and to downgrade, u need a multi-package froyo firmware. From samfirmware.com, there is only ONE froyo firmware that is multi-package, which is the arabic S5830JPKA7 (luckily). so here's the low down on how to change ur firmware back to S5830DXKC1.

This guide is made in mind that the peeps who are going to attempt this have a basic idea on how to use ODIN.

1. Download the S5830JPKA7 from samfirmware.com or here. u gotta use this one, not the newer one. Also, download the S5830DXKC1 firmware, not S5830DDKC1 (for u peeps who are challenged in sight, one is DX and the other, DD. we want DX). That's for India. If u download that, might as well just go on with the arabic firmware. It's this one right here.

2. Have Odin 4.38 on stand-by (sure most of u have 'em)

3. Extract the Arabic firmware. Inside, u'll find 5 files. APBOOT, CODE, CSC, KERNEL and MODEM. This is the confusing part for me. but, after taking a daring chance, i inputted these accordingly OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC. btw, OPS is the same OPS used to upgrade to GB (Cooper.ops). KERNEL is NOT used. not used. so don't worry. Run Odin as usual. and just in case, number 3 needs to be done while the phone is in download mode .

4. After Odin gave a pass, u can see the home screen and in settings, the firmware version is back to 2.2.1.

5. Restart ur phone back into download mode. Do not extract S5830DXKC1 firmware, keep it as it is. Input the same OPS used earlier, tick one-package file and input the whole rar file into Odin, and run it.

6. After Odin gave a pass, check on to firmware, and u have ur lovely old laggy full of SOD DXKC1 firmware. Seriously, after tasting GB, froyo does feel sluggish. =D

Please note that I will not bear any risk associated with the above instructions if anything goes wrong with it. Follow the instructions carefully okay?

Cheers!!

Added on July 22, 2011, 11:35 pmIm a noob at rooting phones,

According to the first page of this thread, rooting looks quite easy(correct me if im wrong ). But how come some people here can partially brick their phone and have to use odin to bring it back to life? Or is rooting more complicated than it looks from the guide ? If you just follow the steps correctly everything will be ok right?

'Btw, Root it at your own risk as it might brick your phone if you mess up your system file.' (I got this from the first page)
How to mess up the system file? Is it not following the steps correctly?

Lastly, i've read before that you need to have Odin or something when you root just in case something happens. But how come first page never mention about Odin at all? The first page guide still can be used or not? As i know that it has not been updated for quite a while now...

Thanks in advance 

even if accidentally miss any steps and bricked the phone, Odin will definately bring it back to life right ? How to get the Odin or something?
Also, what do you mean by mess up the system files? Example?
