First off I'm pretty new to this. I followed the instructions flashing my stock DI18 to DK28. It works just fine no problems. I want to be able to flash back to DI18. How do I do this. Without using Odin. Is there a way just to download a DI18.zip and install it into the root of my sd card power,volume down and camera button flash it? Someone please help.
Thanks
Tom
Here go Here next time search for stock d118 in the development section the wiki helps alot too.
Flash in clockwork if you have it or rename update.zip
I'm not rooted. Does this matter?

I think if you just rename the zip file to update.zip and put it into the root of your sd card you should be able to flash not rooted in stock recovery.

And stock recovery mode is in the list of things you get when you boot with camera+vol down?

I have the file, yes, but I am in one of my courses and do not have my cable with me to test this. I'll be home in a few hours and I'll update with whether or not it worked. I really like the update but I just cannot stand the rotation issue. It is constantly switching orientations on me and it is near impossible to get it righted again.

sorry if this has been asked but im new to a lot of this stuff and i wanted to put the vibrant6 rom that just came out on my vibrant and i was wandering that if i dont like it are just want to take it off i can do a restore from rom manager. I would of course use rom manager to backup my rom first. Also if i do this and keep it will i still get the OTA updates. It looks like this rom is keeping the stock kernal and that im sure if i changed that then i would not get the updates. I just a little nervouse about this. Thank you

Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing!
I downloaded the vibrant6 zip from the 4shared that I was directed to and it took all of a second to download which I know was way to fast. I went to unzip it and it was unsuccessful I don't know why. So even if I wanted to do this I can't.

Obviously to install Vibrant 6 you need to flash stock rom, then flash vibrant6 with odin.
When I decided to go back to stock rom I flashed stock rom with odin then ran nandroid restore of a point I had made right before trying Vibrant6.
I flashed vibrant6 via clockwork and it worked just fine, you just have to have a stock rom with root for it to work properly
But does it need to be unzip first.

No it doesn't, its an update.zip.
OP just download the file and place it on the root of your internal SDcard. Reboot into recovery and flash it from there.
If you uninstall clockworkmod recovery you might get OTA updates but it depends on the rom you are using. With any alternative recovery you may be able to download the OTA, but it will not flash because of the recovery. I dont know why people worry about OTA updates! If its being sent OTA, I guarantee it will be on XDA months before! If you want OTAs, leave your phone stock.

I found it on androidforums listed as a modified update.zip to bring DK28 phones back to DI18, but I'm not sure what it actually does. It's only 5mb, not ~100mb like the DK28 update.zip
Does anyone have an experience with it?

The only DI18 update.zip file is for going from DI07 -> DI18 (hence why it is only 5mb)

I believe the first link on there, you can attempt to try renaming it update.zip. Im not sure if it works without clockwork tho.. Give it a shot the worst thing that can happen is it will say aborted and wont mess up anything.
I'll give it a shot. Does it completely wipe the phone like Odin, or just change the firmware?

I think it just changes the firmware, i dont think it wipes anything, ive been flashing around roms on 2.1 and flash back to stock a lot and i never lose my data even when i wipe it..
Alternatively, is there a way to get Clockworkmod Recovery onto my DK28 phone?

besides the one click root,with clockwork, i dont think so, besides the long adb commands, which i dont know where that post is at but thats a lot of work.... But if you put clockwork on you can take it off with a simple flash of the samsung recovery zip also in the link above.
Thanks for the info.
Why is it so much more complicated to roll back than it is to go forward to a new version?

Well, not really complicated, just a few things you have flash to remove all the rooted stuff, if you use odin its still a lot of steps and more risky of bricking, i constantly see, new threads of people using odin by not following all the instructions and bricking there devices.
That's why I'm really hoping I can avoid having to use Odin to go to DI18 to get the official OTA update next week.

Dude, just look for the stock DI18 rom, rename it to update.zip, boot into recovery and flash it. That's all. I've done this several times before (although i'm now on a solid 2.2 Froyo rom).
It's a full rom, not a 5MB whatever..
It's that easy, and I don't clockwork recovery or anything?
Why does anyone bother with Odin then?
I think I have the DI18 rom, is 158,159,706 bytes the right file size?
You'll still need to odin in the di18 modem. Cwm can't flash a modem

@applefanboylol,
If you have RA, or Clockwork installed, it will not work because if you attempt to boot into recovery(because you replaced the boot.img file with a different recovery system other than stock) the bootloader will take you to the alternate recovery. You will have to remove RA, or Clockwork. To answer your question the update overwrites the existing kernel with a different one.

Do not flash Netarchy nor any other kernel until Android 2.3.5 kernel version is released. I'm sure Netarchy will release 2.3.5 kernel version once the source code is released for public.
Does this update remove root/CWM recovery? It's easy enough to get back, but I'm just double checking before I do anything stupid.
not sure why but the directions state to hold power and vol up after you boot into recovery before the exclamation mark and it just refuses to give me the option to select my update.zip......... blllaahhhhh
edit:: Ok so you have to hit Power first then hold it down when you hit vol up.. That worked perfect for me.

If google talk does not find a network connection before you unlock your screen, it crashes. This has been the case sense Gtalk with video came about. As long as the network/radios are running before you unlock, there won't be a crash.

That's what I did and it's working. Took awhile to figure out but should be easier now because the directions are much clearer.
So it sounds like if you haven't rooted yet. It's still safe to take this update and still be able to root later if you we decide to.
