yep just like you did root. and it will take you Barebone Stock 2.1 just like the phones came out of the box.
I'm wondering if anyone has one like this but for 2.2

not in TAR format, but there is a zip file laying around http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=11181.0

Be careful. After you flashed the recovery you might brick it by doing this. I know I did.

I put this .tar.md5 file in the \Binary for SWupdater and I get a SamsungPST Cannot find bin error.
What is the difference between a .tar and .md5 file? How do I get the .tar file out of this MD5? It appears I can open it in 7zip, but it wants to extracted all the contents instead of just the .tar file.

Figured it out, I renamed the .tar.md5 to .md5 and it worked, searched the entire site (not just Samsung Intercept) and found someone else had same issue...

downgrade epic to 2.1

I recently instaled 2.2 on my epic and I heard what sprint said today about it and its not the official froyo build. I used odin. Is there any way to get the epic back to 2.1? I want to be able to receive the update via ota

Search is your friend...

But what about those of us who are on Macs and do not have access to a windows machine to use ODIN? Is there a way to flash back to DI18 or do I pretty much have to start begging random people to use their computers?

Why not just search for the stock di18 zip and flash it? No need for Odin. Exactly what I did.

So I would just need to put the update (I actually have it) on my sd card as update.zip and install it as an update just like I did with dk28? I apologize for being very fail at knowledge.

Easy method i use and worked and removed root/clockwork... with out odin..
For you those going back to stock or are stock and u flashed 2.2 and want to downgrade or resort back to stock use this method.
Rooted/clockwork users skip the first step...
1. Do the one click root/clockwork/etc Here
2. Flash the d118 modem Here
3. Then Flash the zip file Here
4. Then flash the get rid of clockwork zip Here
5. Your are back to stock without using odin yay!!!
Now all links work!!! and added a step use this method to return to stock with out odin.

The get rid of clockwork doesnt work... might have to ask dcrocks to reupload or if someone has it that would be great.

Sorry to double post, just wasnt sure which threads you were checking, but in step 2 when it comes to flashing the modem updater file it wont work, i can install the kernal and rom fine, but the modem gets an "installation aborted" in clockwork.

Thanks for the reply, however, I tried that too and i got the exact same message. Stir fry a lot, how about you? Since we seem to be having the same issue did Firon's link work on your phone?

Ditto...I was assuming that this was an easy issue to fix IE that I just didn't have a setting right...apparently no one but us has ever seen this before.

Its still not working for me either.

This will not, however, update your modem back to DI18, anyone have any ideas?

When I went from dk28 bac to di18 I used odin, make sure you have samsung mobile phone drivers, when I downloaded the dk18 tar file the first three times odin said bad mp5 file..I closed odin opened it again, downloaded the exact same tar file and it worked the fourth time. Make sure the f.reset button is deselected and you don't need a pit file....hope this helps

odin worked for one epic but not another.

so heres the deal, ive read the forum with all the instructions how to downgrade from dk28 back to di18. i even did it on my epic a month ago because i missed my gps. on my phone it worked the first try. no problems whatsoever. so now im trying to do the same with my girlfriends phone and its refusing to work. it either stops at initializing or geting pit. ive been at this for an hour now. any ideas?

Dont use the pit file. You don't need it for flashing tar files. Just put the tar file in PDA and make sure only reboot is checked and hit start.

Have you tried the three different versions of odin out there? 1.0 1.3 and 1.6 somethin? 1.6 has the highest success rate for me. Also you don't need the pit but it shouldn't affect it's ability to complete if you do use it. Also if you're trying to odin back to di18 don't use the di18 extended, it's very finnicky. Just try the pure stock di18 files from noobnl's post in dev section.

When I use ODIN with my phone I need to make sure the PDA file doesn't have the MD5 tag at the end of the zip file. So naturally when I went to flash my gf's Samsung Mesmerize I took the tag off her tar file also. Made Odin crash repeatedly across different versions. When I finally realized I needed MD5 at the end of the file ODIN flashed the phone on the first try.
Lesson of the story is that ODIN is finnicky. Try different things like: Different USB ports, restarting computer before using it, and playing with different PIT files (don't quote me on the PIT thing, I've used different ones with no ill effects). Try changing the zip file to just .zip or .zip.md5 just to make sure it isn't something simple like that.

Pit is specific to build. It tells the phone where to flash what... Following this advice *could* have very detrimental effects .....
Swyped from my *Epic*

Thanks for clearing that up.

[Q] odin to froyo 2.2!??????

This may sound like a very dumb question but i am just now getting into the different things i can do with my phone. One of which is i have rooted it and installed clock work manager. I have seen A LOT of people talking about odin and using it to install froyo 2.2 on their phone. I was just wondering how you actually go about getting odin on your phone, or is it something installed on your computer to transfer files to your phone? my main objective of all of this is just to have froyo 2.2 finally installed on my phoneso if anyone could please give me the run down on this and the info i need to install 2.2 on my phone, or a web page that shows you how to install it once i have odin, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Odin is a program used to flash .tar files (modem, kernel, system) onto your phone while in download mode.
A little poking around here (I would link you but I'm at work) and you will find the Samsung Drivers, The Odin program itself, and recently someone posted Odin files for 2.2
If you have the .zip of 2.2 (or Superclean 2.4) all you will have to do is flash the eb01 modem in Odin, then install the .zip file through CWM.
Follow ALL instructions in the threads you find to the T or it will be a pain in the ass to get your phone back.

Remember: When using Odin NEVER USE THE PHONE BUTTON. We use the PDA button for the Fascinate.
PDA = Good
Phone = brick (that's bad)

If u get the eb01 sc Odin package...it comes with rom obviously so u don't flash anything in cwm. However... future roms you want will b flashed in cwm. All u do is boot into recovery,instal zip from sd cars, choose the zip from sd card....select it...and hit ok

You are indeed way off... you are playing with fire with this stuff with the things you are trying without doing your homework. People here could give you links to everything you need, but all you have to do is search a little. Dont take it the wrong way, but when you brick your phone youll wish you didnt rush

No i completely understand what you are saying that is why i am doing my best to take anyones advice who might know more about this than i do (which is probably everyone). is there anything out there than can just give me a step by step as to what to do in the safest manner to accomplish putting 2.2 on my phone? because so far the closest i have came is receiving a E:failed to verify whole-life signature along with a E:signature verification failed message trying to install the update through clock work manager thanks for your help and advice

Ok, easy way to get froyo... go in the fascinate develpment section of xda or droid forums and look for ODIN eb01 package. It will load you up froyo, new clockwork, and root your phone all in one shot. The directions are super easy, just follow them exactly. I did mine this way, you dont have to mess with clockwork at all, ten minutes total. Let us know how you make out.
