[Q] DK28 back to DI18 - Epic 4G General

I followed the instructions on how to flash to DK28 and now want to flash back to DI18. How do I do this? If I don't do this will I still receive the official upgrade OTA from Sprint?

Search the threads. There is numerous threads that already cover this.

make sure you have samsung mobile phone drivers .download odin, download the di18 tar file....when you open odin place the tar file in the pda section uncheck f.reboot box and put the phone in download mode be holding down the 1 on the keyboard and press the power button...you should have a giant triangle with the android mascot shoveling, connect the phone to the computer and it should show the phone in one of the comm ports (its yellow) after you have done all that, press start.

Does this erase all your data? Recommend backing up beforehand?

yes it does erase data...i didnt do a backup because i didnt mind reinstalling apps

No need to Odin. I got the stock di18 zip, wiped and flashed it via the volume down/cam/power button thingy. Rooted that and restored my cwm backup. Was like I never left 2.1.

do you have a link to that di18.zip?

If you're not rooted, then just rename the file to update.zip, copy over to sd card, boot into recovery and flash the di18.

Please forgive my stupidity but I tried just doing the power+camera+vol down and install update but that did not work. Is there a different way to do recovery?

I'm sorry to get pushy but I've been trying to do this all day and I just need a few simple questions answered:
1) Is there some special way for me have the phone set up to use the oneclickroot exploit?
2) How can I avoid the error "E:Signature verification failed" when trying to apply the updates I've found around the forums?
3) Is there a special way to boot into recovery mode to 'flash'?
Basically I need just ONE of these answered. PLEASE HELP.

So I did this then booted up and android processes kept FCing (non-stop) so I removed the battery to do a hard reboot and now when I try to boot up it just freezes on the "SAMSUNG www.samsung.com" screen. Am I bricked? And if so can it be fixed? If not think I can still bring it in under warranty and falsify my way into a new phone?

[Q] Odin DK17 modem help

I cant seem to find where I can actually download the DK17 modem, all the links i run into are dead. I already have the 2.2 firmware and clockwork installed. Somebody guide me in the right direction please
I'm sorry, I don't know your answer exactly but I have a quick question in relation to your post.
How did you install the froyo rom? I tried, it wouldnt finish the download. Just "signature not verified" What did I do wrong?
P.S. I booted it up from rom manager, how do you do it manually?

if you dont have the one click with redirector when you reboot with clockwork it takes you to the built in recovery, what you need to do is hold the volume down key, the picture taking key and the power key while booting up in order to get into clockwork recovery. Its not really spelled out anyplace that the generic recovery is blue writing, whereas clockwork is green and alot more choices.

Help for a friends fascinate.

So I got this email from my friend and am not sure what to tell them. I have not run into the screen she describes.
Here's what was told to me.
"He put a rom on it and it forced closed when you tried to open the contacts or do most anything with the phone. He booted in recovery and tried to update zip and it kept saying file not found. So he deleted update zip and kept CWMfroyo zip. But the phone kept saying the same thing then when trying to turn on phone the samsung would loop. Used odin to try and put update zip back on and then the ebo1 modem. Nothing changed. So we tried to factory restore phone by using odin and none of the downloads would complete. Now my facinate only comes on to a screen with a little phone and a computer with a yellow triangle in the middle of the two. It also will not go into download mode anymore."
I replied back asking if they could still enter stock recovery. But haven't heard back yet.
If I can get them into download mode I can help them Odin correctly to get them back good. But, again, I have not seem the screen described so I don't know what it means.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Precisely. Symbol means the whole os (operating system) needs to b redone.
Since she says they can't get into download mode. Is there something else I should check?
Or are they just doing it wrong?

Confirm they are properly trying to get into download mode.
1. Open Odin (might as well)
2. Remove battery.
3. Hold Volume down key.
4. Plug in USB cable.
In your first post, you said that they tried to odin back to factory setting, but the download would not complete. What do they mean by the download wont complete? (Odin wont complete? Cant download full package?)

Clockwork Partition Bricked, need help

i've been lookign and looking, and just can't find a solution to fixing my problem, not knowing any better I attempted to partition the phone through clockwork and now it no longer fully turns on (goes black after the S screen) and I've tried installing the stock Rom with Odin but it just simply does the same thing, is there a way I can delete the partition I created? i'm pretty sure that's the problem, but i'm not sure how to detect the phone's internal memory without having the phone on and mounting it...
Are you using the 512pit file and selecting repartition in Odin. Also which Odin flashable are you using. Go to Eugene's site, google ebproductions and find Froyo that doesn't brick.

so are you saying to get eugene's froyo on, then do the install for the normal (i.e. the link i provided), and it should work?... hopefully...
if it doesn't (working on it now), is there a way to mount the internal memory onto my PC without the phone working, kind of like download mode? so that I could just simply delete the partition

Please i need help here
Well you've just learned rule #1 the hard way. Always do a nandroid backup from CMW.
You could restore back to stock using ODIN. All the files you need are in the How To Root thread.

If you can get into download mode, use Odin to flash stock. Thread below with all info how to do that.

Odin restore will return your device (ROM AND RECOVERY) back to stock. Just boot your tab into download mode then connect to your computer with odin running and you will see a yellow box showing your device is connected. If it doesn't detect it, you need to get the correct drivers.

And then from the stock ROM listed in the provided link, you will then flash the CWM/Recovery to be able to flash a ROM you want to run/flash.

Try going into download and Odin flash the stock ROM again.
If the stock ROM flashed correctly, after up to a 10 minute wait, it should boot into the stock ROM. Then you will go into download again, Odin flash either the recovery from that link or the newer recovery from the below link. You should be able to place the Rom of choice on the SD and flash through recovery.

Recovery Mode?

How does one get into custom recovery mode for the Sprint Galaxy tab?
I can't Clockwork into recovery, it takes me directly into the Android Stock recovery, so...basically, I've no idea how to flash a ROM on this.
Any help?

You do not use recovery to flash ROMs on the Tab. You use heimdall from your desktop. Samsung devices are different from most other Android devices. You can use Clockworkmod to do backups and restores. If you have Clockworkmod installed on your Tab, the only way to get to it is through software on your system. Trying to boot to it only takes you to the stock recovery.
EDIT: You can flash ROMs from CWM. See below posts.
I'm confused, this thread mentions clockwork a couple of times (for example, the thread that explains how to get EXT4 on your tab says that you must press up+power to get into Clockwork in order to flash it).
All I need is a simple guide from anyone here or a pointer to where I can get clockwork. I've used Odin before, but not Heimdall, so I don't know how I'd go about installing a ROM that way.
This is the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031)
I beg to differ. I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on my Sprint Galaxy Tab and flashed it using CWM 5.0.2.7. I used heimdall to flash CWM, and after that I can flash roms all day long from recovery. Check over at rootzwiki, everything you need is detailed over there.

Just to be sure you are setting the Tab into Download mode before connecting to your PC/Laptop right? ...i.e. turn off; press and hold volume up + power on.
