Have one quick question about flashing my modem. - Vibrant General

Since im pretty dumb. I was wondering if it is safe to flash just my modem to KA7 in odin without anything else being flash into the phone. All i have selected right now is PHONE - C:\Users\myname\Downloads\PDA_KA7modem\modem.bin and nothing else. Nothing in pda or pit.
p.s. im currently running nero v5

There is a clockwork flashable one in the dev section.

How do you flash a kernal?

Let's say I were to flash Eugene's new 2.2 rom, how would I reflash the stock kernal in order to downgrade?

Your post confuses me. What are you downgrading/to? There are two ways (that I know of) to flash a kernel. One is to flash it through recovery. Two is the flash it through odin; which I am not familiar with and do not prefer.

Where exactly is this so called "list" you speak of?
Proudly pumped from my vibrating vibrant using the ubiquitous XDA App
Odin is one way (my preferred). Only have problems if I disconnect the phone (oops) or package something wrong.
Turn phone off.
Start Odin.
Load tarred zImage in a tar file (IMPORTANT: tarred with --format=ustar) into CSC section in Odin.
Plug in usb cable to computer and phone.
Get into download mode.
Wait for "COM" port to light up on Odin.
Click start.
CSC section? you sure?
What's a kernal?
KernEl, kernEl, kernEl!

Just the new leaks because clockwork doesn't flash modems.
If you look you can find a post with a flashable modem upgrade to dk28 but it breaks gps.

you don't have to odin, you can use CWM Recovery to flash a .zip.

[Q] Help md5 zip dl09 modem rom themes

OK so i was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451
and this might be a newb question: but how do i run this .zip with odin. He included some md5 code, but what do i do?
Also jsut checking, but this is the dl09 modem right and after flashing this, will i be able to install rom such as DL09 super clean 0.4 on it and after i install that rom, how do i know which themes work on that rom?
Thanks so much, trying to come out of newbhood, into haxorhood
PS Couldnt replly to thread so posting it here
If you don't know how to use it, you need to read more stuff about flashing roms etc, as there are instructions in several threads on how to flash files with Odin. If you can't figure out how to update, it is more likely that you'll end up bricking your phone than flashing it properly. In the end, if you can figure out how to flash it yourself, you'll learn invaluable information that could save you from future headaches or get you out of a jam.
Only odin .tar files there should only be one for dl09. the kernal and radio get flashed thru cwm hope this helps.

By the way there really isnt any themes for dl09. You can use dj05 themes if you flash theme fix for dl09 directly after flashing the dj05 theme.

Flashing To Stock From CM7

I will be selling my phone soon so I will need to return it to the stock firmware it was on. I am currently on CM7, so how would I go about this? I know I need to use Odin, but I do check off anything in the program when I am flashing back? Thanks.
Can I use AIO toolbox to flash back to stock or will it not work? Thanks.
Search online for ODIN tutorials. There are plenty out there! You tube it. Have fun!

I know how to use Odin, I was just wondering if there are any special settings I need to put it in since I am on CyanogenMod7. Didn't find anything on youtube from flashing to stock from CM7 on vibrant. Thanks though.
Edit: Found I just need to check re-partition in Odin. Can I use AIO toolbox?

Just odin back to stock the same way as before. 512 pit file and the stock rom like jfd or jk6 i believe. I'm guessing you already installed the drivers for 2.3 so odin would recognize your phone? That's pretty much all you have to do.

The instructions mentioned checking off repartition which is what I did to get back, but other than that it was all good.
Ok thanks everyone!

[Q] trying to update profile and prl in rooted stock EC05

My radio has been randomly shutting off. Most of the time I have to go to airplane mode then back on to make it work again. Somtimes I have to restart. Does anyone have any advice. Im running stock rooted EC05.
This is a problem for many people, I would suggest looking into trying a modem upgrade.
I have no problem updating my prl and profile and have always been rooted on custom ROMs. Sounds like it is more of a modem issue with yours. You might try that EFS clear that noobnl posted.

I looked into flashing the modem and realized it is for odin. Is there an ec05 modem that can be flashed with CWM?

Sorry, all modems have to go in with Odin or Heimdall.
