i9300 back to stock, using android 4
boot on download mode -> to use heimdall, then print the PIT
- heimdall print-pit –no-reboot > pit.txt
- then find the Filename and images, like RECOVERY and recovery.img
- using that pit, create the command line to flash the stock images
heimdall flash –BOOTLOADER sboot.bin –TZSW tz.img –BOOT boot.img –RECOVERY recovery.img –RADIO modem.bin –CACHE cache.img –SYSTEM system.img –HIDDEN hidden.img
It may fail in the middle, most likely in the system image, simply remove the already uploaded ones from the command line and retry
If that happens
- unplug the phone
- force reboot the phone in download mode
- plug the phone
- heimdall flash –SYSTEM system.img –HIDDEN hidden.img
