Bricked phone trying to downgrade from froyo 2.2

So i upgraded my phone with the leaked froyo update.zip and everything went well except for the gps. So i followed the how to "unbrick/bring back to stock" thread so i could downgrade my phone to the di18 firmware. I used odin, the s1_odin20100512.pit and the d700.zimage.stock file. I did not want to wipe out everything, i just wanted to downgrade the kernal back to stock.
When i tried flashing on odin, it failed. now when i try turning on my i get the phone icon with the exclamation mark in the triangle. I wanted to call my girlfriend after flashing my phone but now i cant . Please help me save my phone!
EDIT: Okay not bricked, but it wont load up android

Put the phone in download mode again and run odin again.

Thanks for the tip!

Your gonna want to flash the di18.tar in "pda" with odin and only reboot checked, no pit needed. That gets the di18 firmware back, and the only way.. kernel has nothing to do with it..

I am about to do this too.. and dont want to wipe the data only get back to di18 to get the gps working.. so in that case:
1. I dont need pit file at all
2. which .tar to choose? not the255 mb file?

Mine failed the first time to. I followed the directions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
I tried it a second time but used the victory pit that came with odin 1.61 and it worked. I think in the instructions their using an older version of odin.
I'm not in anyway an expert and you may not even need to use a pit like another poster said. It worked for me though. When I got done the phone rebooted and it showed it having the eclair d07 build from there it updated itself to dI18.

I believe you still need the pit file. If you are going back to stock DI18, than use this:
Stock Files
The one you were trying to use was the kernel I believe.
Here is the pit file you need:
pit file
I have flashed back to stock about 14 times and I have used these two files successfully every time.

yeah ive done it te same wasy that swanysto has done it also a lot. it always works for me to. i know some sa you don't need the pit unless just doing a kernel but i always use it. just my 2 cents

pull the SD card out before you go into download mode (not just pull it out, make sure to push down and let it pop up to remove it).

What is the Baseband?

I've run all three of DI01, DJ05, and DL09, and today I decided to go back to DI01. I noticed, though, that my baseband version has v.DL09 tacked on to the end, while build version says DI01 like it should. What is the Baseband, and should I be concerned that it's DL09 when I'm running DI01?

Does everything still work? I noticed that on my wife's phone and realized that sms, mms, didnt work along with freezing. She was going from di01 to dl09. We had a bad download for the rom I think. It was only 120 mb instea dc of 154 mb. Hsd to odin again with dj05 and pit file, and reroot I believe. Good luck.

Baseband is the radio or modem version depending upon what thread you read. The radio/modem file is flashed via odin. And mismatched radio/modem and rom will lead to things not working. You need to find the matching radio/modem for the particular rom you are running.
good day.

if you're gonna be on DI01 you need to have matching modem. same goes for EVERY rom. Modem has to batch build version. if it doesn't, you're asking for stupid things to happen.

Okay, then. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the DI01 radio? I searched for a while and the only thing I found was this, and I get a status 7 error from clockwork when I try to flash that modem_update.zip.

Brah that would explain whats wrong. YOU CAN'T FLASH A MODEM FILE WITH CWM. You need to flash the modem file with odin.
These are instructions on flashing a modem file HERE step 6 and on is for a rom.
your best bet would be to just flash a dj05 rom. If you can't find the di01 modem.
good day.

D'oh. And I knew that too, from flashing DJ05 and DL09.
However, I'm still stuck without a DI01 modem, because the thread I linked to does *not* provide modem file like I thought. It *is* a CWM update zip; for what, I'm not sure. So again, I have to ask, do you know where I can find a DI01 modem?
Thanks for the help.

Adrynalyn has a return to completly stock thread, its in the development section.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I'd really rather not return to complete stock when all I need is the modem. Is it possible to extract it from the stock odin tar file found here?

Check in IRC, someone there will have it... If they are in a good mood

Thanks. For now I've just done a restore back to the DL09 set up I was running to get me through tonight and work in the morning. I'll ask around in IRC tomorrow. Thanks for the help, guys.

I'm at a loss here with a bricked phone

Odin froze on me looking for pit something. I'm going from rooted only di18 to the new eb13. So I can get into download mode still. Do I just need to keep trying to flash the tar in the pda or do I need to do the pit instead? Thanks
Or should I try the samsung utility, I have that too.

You need both. Tar in PDA and PIT in ... well PIT!

If you are using the full system tar, you do not need the pit. The pit is used for flashing kernels and modems.

Since you can still get into download mode, I'd just use the samsung flash tool. Worked great for me, and I came from a rooted DK28 build. It takes care of everything for you, completely wipes the phone, no need to mess around with Odin. I know Odin can be temperamental at times.

I agree. Odin is not meant for consumers.

Okay, thanks will try the samsung utility then. Thanks. Will advise on how things turn out....

I can still do this even tho the phone doesn't boot up right? I get that phone and monitor picture. But i can get to download.

The file you need for flashing now, being in the download mode, for updating to EB13, is this: http://www.multiupload.com/F0JFA0487M. This file was posted by Whosdaman, in the Development thread. You won't need the PIT file. Use Odin's PDA box to flash this ROM.

Wow, it freakin worked......now I have to find out how to do a hard reset while I'm at it....

Duh. Silly me. Sorry for the misinformation.

Here is Odin flashable EF02 upgradable to EF10 Modem with complete package

Here is the modem from EF02. Extract from zip and flash with odin. I am using it on Froyo. Use either odin version.
This allows you to do a firmware upgrade to EF10 also......again, I am using it on Froyo
Edit: I have added a zip file containing the exact files that I am successfully using to flash. Download the zip, extract the files, put the pit in the pit, the modem in the pda and flash.

Have one to spare? Apparently, I've been getting very lucky by flashing modems without one.

Has this worked for anyone yet?

I just used it(I have flashed a few times to make sure it works) . It works. Im using the old odin.

Playing with both modems now. EF02 was eh ok in my area. 4g was 5.5d 1.6 u. GPS locked faster than i've ever seen. Just pushed to EF10 and rejected it's love of looking for random updates.
Flashed back to EF02 over a thought that they're sacrificing GPS for speed or can't figure out how or why to release them in a modem together. I believe the EF02 amazing modem might be true.
Final verdict: EF02 is the ****. Instant GPS lock and 6-7mbs d/1.6 mbs u on 4g avg. I don't know what went wrong in EF10
Btw, no one got me a pit in time and now I've learned my phone clearly doesn't care.

Please help. Did I just brick my phone? Here's what I did.
Saved and extracted the pit and the modem to the desktop
Booted phone to Download mode
Opened Odin and selected the PIT in the PIT area and the Modem in the Phone slot.
Click Start.
Odin went through ok.
Phone rebooted. But never came back on.
Only at that time did I realize that the Re-Partition box was also checked.
I know... 2 mistakes. Phone slot instead of PDA and Re-Partition was checked.
Is there anything I can do? I've tried booting normally. Booting to download mode. Booting to CWM. First night of rooting and it was going so well until I started to try different modems.

Sorry. Found out a way to fix.
(Take battery out. Hold 1 + Power. Put battery back in).
Was able to reload everything back to stock.
Thought the phone was a goner. Had no signs of life at all.

[Q] Fascinate stuck on SAMSUNG logo, no idea what to do

So I was never into rooting phones I never really cared that much and my friend said it was really awesome so he rooted my phone then never told me anything to do with it so I seriously didn't change a single thing. I also guess he didn't mention you can't reset factory settings which is what I did and it is stuck on the samsung logo. I searched for this and read the "flash odin" that means zero to me. I absolutely have no idea what any of that is, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Alas, I don't have any links to give you, but hopefully I can clarify what you need to do.
Odin is simply a program that is used for flashing software to your phone. All you do is download said program, as well as a recovery file and a PIT file (which is what is used to repartition the phone's internal memory). Your safest bet is to download the DL09 package, which will get you back to the stock android 2.1 that your phone came with. From there you can run your phone's system update to upgrade to the current version. There are instructions on how to flash through Odin, so I won't go into that. What you'll want to look for, though, is a full odin package, which means that it includes EVERYTHING, and you won't have to flash the system, radio, modem, etc. separately.
Hopefully that clears things up a bit. I was in the same boat as you recently.
EDIT: The most important thing to do is relax. I know it's scary to get such a bad error on your first crack into rooting, but Odin makes it REALLY hard to brick this phone. It's a little intimidating at first, but once you start flashing through Odin, no android issue will phase you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746 This is the thread I used when I screwed up my Fascinate. May it serve you well.

Ok, you will definitely be able to get out of this situation. Try this link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZAF3hzDIHSMEkf0QcFs2cLLrF5PmOUEXcM268FoIzk/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKqWypcP for some basic info. Look through these forums/internet and download ODIN (any version should do). Find a link to the DL09, ED01, or ED04 odin files for the full rom and a link for the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Make sure the samsung usb drivers are installed on your PC for your phone. Pull the battery. Open up ODIN. plug in the usb to your computer and phone. Hold down the "volume down" button until a yellow android comes up for your phone that says "downloading". At this point ODIN should turn yellow in the first box. Click "Pit" and select the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Click PDA!!! and select the rom that you downloaded. Hit "Start" and wait about 5 minutes until ODIN turns green and tells you "success". Disconnect the USB. Put battery back in. Boot up and hopefully you should have a stock phone back. All of your settings will be gone and you may have to OTA upgrade to the latest ROM through verizon, but all your data on the SD card will still be there. Good luck!

I would recommend against the ED01. That's a leaked ROM, and if you ever need to send your phone in for Warranty, they'll know you were up to no good. DL09 and OTA update is usually the safest bet.

EB01 was the leaked Froyo ROM. ED01 was the first official Froyo build released from verizon/samsung. Since then there has been official upgrade builds of ED03 and ED04. The newest, ED05 is a leak. So no problem flashing ED01. I personally prefer to flash DL09 then let the phone OTA to ED04.
