While others have addressed alternate means of going back, I'm
somewhat confused on why ctrl+O didn't work for you. It works
here for me (I use it rather regularly), and I've got a somewhat
old version of Vim (7.2). Does it work for you if you start Vim with

vim -u NONE somefile.txt

If it does, it sounds like some script/setting/plugin is
interfering either with "*" adding items to the jumplist (you can
check the output of ":jumps" after pressing control+O), or with
the behavior of control+O (in which case you can check your
mappings).
