Can't update...want to wipe phone and get sprint apps back - Epic 4G General

I'd like to get the update on my phone, but I'm stuck at DG27 because I erased some Sprint apps and can't manually get them back on. I tried doing a hard reset, but it didn't bring back the apps (SprintZone, etc.) for some reason. How can I just totally reset the phone so that it has all the stuff from the original ROM and basically is just started completely over from stock?
Thanks,
-Rob

No internet since 2.2 Update!

Since I've done the Froyo 2.2 OTA update, when I try to go into the internet it say's:
"Sorry!
The application Internet
(process com.android.browser)
has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again.
Then it has a force close button."
What gives?
My wifes internet went down on her hero with the 2.1 update. Hard reset fixed it. Couldn't hurt to try.
Are you guys trying to restore bookmarks from titanium backup or any other backup? Cuz if you restore bookmarks from a 2.1 rom to a 2.2 rom it will screw up your internet app.
Try restarting the phone and running a profile update as well as prl update
I've tried the update profile and soft boot and still nothing. I have to save my phone list before I would try a hard reboot. Will a hardset go back to the 2.1 version?

1)Get your MSL
2)@ dialer ##DATA#
3)Select Data Profile, menu, restore.
See if that will work before factory reset
I'm new this what is MSL?

Nah, just call Sprint and ask for it, they will give it to you no questions, I've done it twice for my Evo(s).
Hard reset won't do anything to your system except wipe the data partition clean. That will definitely fix your issue. Probably some setting or app that didn't play nice with the update. There pretty much isn't any other fix, and if there is, factory reset is still the easiest way to go. Just sync all your apps with AppBrain. That's what I do.
Well the hard reset fixed my problem. Thanks guy's!

[Q] Rooted Vibrant + T-Mobile Update = Brick?

I just recieved the T-Mobile update an hour and my phone is stuck on the vibrant screen. It was rooted and practically deleted almost every stock app that came with the phone. Is the update still installing or is my phone bricked for good?

EASY WAY TO GET THE JI6 UPDATE
It leads to the following post

Barring that if you're leery to use Odin, call TMO.
Will any of those methods restore my phone without losing any information on it?

You could try making a Nandroid and then restoring only the data portion.
It all depends on what the OTA update did to your phone.
Well I'm stuck on the Vibrant Logo screen. Can you tell me how to do that? just restore the data portion?

I had the same problem. I had OCLF on my phone and I had un-lag-fixed and unrooted with it in anticipation of the JI6 update. When I ran the OTA, it bricked my phone anyway. I had to use Odin to get back to stock and that sounds like what you need to do too.
When I Odin'd back to stock, I still had all my videos, photos, and a bunch of files and stuff for apps, but I still needed to reinstall all the apps and redo all the settings/configurations.
oh man cause I used AK Notepad and basically my life is on that. Will those be erased too? and texts?

Odin from stock wipes out the existing applications (and replaces all the bloatware too), so they needed to be reinstalled. Once reinstalled from Market, and reinstalling Titanium Backup, I was able to restore from the /sdcard the backups I had made previously.
There was some work involved with getting the system back to what I had, but I didn't lose any data.

This is the same as me running a nanoid restore from clockwork.
if i were you i would back the notes up to you sd card, and when the time comes to up date your phone or do anything just remove your sd card and you will be fine. or you can even transfer the pictures and notes to your pc

Where are the AKNotepad notes kept? so i can use adb pull to grab them.
I'm back to stock and it didn't erase any if my pictures, music, files, etc. but since I received the update already back when I was rooted, does that mean I won't be getting the update at all anymore? Or do I have to wait again for another roll-out?

How you get back to stock? without losing all those data?
Are you guys just really impatient or something with the update. Mine stayed on the Vibrant screen for a while, but I just let it go and it worked out just fine. Mine was rooted and with the Ryan Lag fix.
I guess there is always the possibility that individual experiences can differ.

I followed the instructions on another website. I tried the one they gave me here but it didn't work for me.
Type the following on the Google search bar:
Cyanogenmod how to recover soft brick
It should be the first link there and should look something like this:
[HOWTO] Recover from a"soft brick" on your Vibrant
I can't post link because I'm new here. Hope it helps.

Keep in mind that I didn't have AK Notepad so I don't know if they get deleted. If I were you I'd back up all the notes; e-mail them to yourself or something.

First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...
I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

Wifi stuck in an Infinite loop

So i went from Syndicate rom on EB13 and flashed over it with the new Frankenstein rom, when i got the rom working my wifi stopped working. Figureing this was just an issue with the rom its self i flashed the whole phone back to EB13 Stock. This didnt work so i re-flashed all the way back to DG27 using odin and my Wifi still isn't connecting to my network. It will see the network, then it will just hang saying Obtaining address. Some times it will get past obtaining adress and it will stop working by just saying out of range. I dont know what else to do. Anyone know what i should do?? I refuse to believe this is a hardware problem due to how fast it was messed up after tinkering with the software. Is there anything i can do to completely reset everything on the phone?
did u flash with odin? Did u wipe cache/data/delvick between each flash? I had this happen to my phone. I reinstalled original os (di18) with odin and it worked fine.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I always Wipe everything before i flash anything onto my phone so yes...
I guess i could try takinng it all the way back to di18 rather than DG27
I figured just didn't want to assume. Try flashing back to original os with odin. Outside of that idk what else to tell ya. Good luck. If I come across anything I will pass it on to ya.

Stuck on yellow screen no computer

I was messing around with my phone getting trying to get the annoying "insufficient storage available" notification to go away, I was able to by going into the internal files then deleting the app data.
I rebooted my phone and now I'm stuck at the yellow sprint logo. I went to recovery mode did a factory reset then tried to wipe cashe and a dead android appears with a red exclamation point. Then it reboots and goes back to the yellow logo and freezes there.
Help!! I don't have a computer at the moment, and no clue what to do!

I won't have access to a computer for a couple weeks. Do you know how sprint would handle this issue? I don't have insurance but I just got the phone a month ago.
If you can get into stock recovery mode - Power+Home Button+Volume Up. Try a 'factory reset'.
If that doesn't work you can always take it in and say you what every you feel is okay (phone stopped booting or whatever) and see what they say.

Can you go to a friend's place? Library? Work? Somewhere with a computer? If you have the file to go back to stock you should have your phone back no more than 10 mins max.

You won't be able to do anything. Make sure to always keep a stable rom backed up so that in cases like these, you can at least use your phone.
Thanks. Everyone for the advice I will have to do that next time, I took it to sprint and they wanted $100 to fix it!! Heck no when I can do it myself. The lady said it was a software malfunction hehe if only she knew I had been hacking away lol
So I am going to do it myself, I'll just need to flash stock mf9 right??
