Hello,
Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldnt find anything when I searched.
I am trying to go back to stock on my Vibrant just like when I first got it out the box.
I flashed the unofficial update JI2 and then the JI6 through Odin, but now I want to go back to stock to see if I get the update from Tmobile or just do it through Kies.
In order for me to do this I have to go to stock and I cant find or know to to do it. I seem to be getting this whole Odin thing so if I can do it this way it would be great. Please let me know. Thanks.
I search Development section, but none of those worked for me. Not sure if Im doing something wrong.
I am no expert by any mean just a noobie but I downloaded the files on the link posted in I believe it was the Development section that was the JDF Odin stock rom etc. Look for it posted in there or search it and it will come up. I used Odin and it went smoothly and then I updated to ji6.I believe the link below is what you are looking for.

Here is the link again for some reason it shows up when I save it but when I exit out and come back it is gone

Ok, so I did find this one, but I had no luck!
So did you click on the last one that says All 3 Files?
Or did you click them one by one?
you should try a custom rom before going back to stock!

Either way you want to do it. The 3 files-in-one is a smaller download if that matters to you. But they're all the same...
Also, in the Vibrant Bible, there's a link to Odin1.3 which worked well when I had to go from JI5 (via Kies) back to JFD for the Kies Mini update to JI6. Just fyi, I'm running Win7 Pro 64-bit, not sure what your setup is like.
When you say you had no luck, did you mean you couldn't get into download mode or Odin didn't work for you? For Odin to work you have to make sure the ID:COM in the upper left is populated with a number. Otherwise Odin is essentially saying that it doesn't see your phone, most likely due to driver issues.
Thanks for the help! I finally got it to work!

Why would you want the OTA if you already flashed it? Now you may run the risk of soft bricking after accepting the update... Maybe it's just past me at this early hour, but can't figure out why you wanna do this.
posting to save this thread to refer back to later
The reason I wanted to try Kies OTA is because of the missing Market apps and also because I was having lag problems with the flashed version.
Actually everything went smooth after I figured out how to do it.
Unfortunately there are still missing apps, But my phone runs alot smoother.

Hey all, I have just been curious why there seems to be so little love for mac users. I understand that this is all difficult stuff to work with, so I cant complain too much, but I just wish that we had things like ODIN available to us as well. I recently switched to DK28 via the Update.zip (no ODIN) method and lost my GPS so I figured I would just go back to DI18 until the official OTA rolled out. Unfortunately this turned out to be impossible for me without ODIN (no one around me has a PC). Not trying to turn this into a sob story, just wondering if there are any others out there in the same situation. Where is the mac love? It sucks being stuck this way.

I don't think this works with our phones
I rooted, installed clockwork, and flashed back down using that. Then did the ota back to dk28 with my newly working gps. It worked and I didn't need to use my mac.

Could you perhaps expand a little on this? When you say you flashed back down using that what do you mean?

Heimdall has, in general, been confirmed to work with Epic 4G phones. However I'm not sure if Samsung ever released a fixed (USB specification complaint) secondary bootloader for the Epic 4G. If they didn't then your phone will be unable to register itself with Darwin (OS X's kernel). If this is the case then perhaps try contact Samsung and ask them to release a non-faulty bootloader. I was the one who informed them of the initial problem, so they do listen. If they ask for system logs just tell them it's the same problem that was reported for the GT-I9000 so they already have a system log detailing the error.

Hey all,
So I flashed the Evo(Shift)Nonsense ROM and I love it so far except that I can't get rid of the damn mandatory update for voicemail. I'm just curious if anyone has been able to fix this. I've been searching teh interwebs for a while and found various things to flash, but nothing seems to have stuck yet...would appreciate any help to be found.

You just need to download the newest version; however, even trying to get that on the stock ROM provides no proper upgrade.
Anyone have the newest APK?

You can't get it to upgrade? I had issues til I went from wireless to have it search for upgrade then had to go back to 3g for it to d/l and install..I have no idea why I couldn't look for an upgrade w/o wifi and no idea why it would only d/l on 3g but it works..

It's only been happening with me on this ROM, never had a problem when I tried out Evervolv. I finally figured out that you also need something like sprint_app_updater.apk, which is also in the app folder and I pulled from a nandroid, but it still won't. It downloads the upgrade fine, but then can't install it, which I suppose is one step better than the "general failure" I was getting before.
Solved!
Hey, so I at least fixed my particular problem, hopefully it can work for other people. I took Sprint_App_Updater.apk from an older nandroid and then had to push it via adb into /system/app. After a reboot the app updated all correctly.

Bizarre, you're right. Turning off WiFi and just using 3G works fine. Thanks dude.
Just hooked up my i9000m to Kies and got a message telling me an update is available.
PDA: KC1 / PHONE: KC1 / CSC: KC1 (BMC)
What is it?
Froyo 2.2.1?
Gingerbread?
Has it been out for a while?
I haven't hooked up the phone since the last update which fried my SGS by the way...
Can't seem to fin any info on the forum, or anywhere else on the web for that matter, so don't flame me if I'm just too dumb to find it.
Thanx!
update it and let us know
Just installed and it's just 2.2 (not even 2.2.1) according to the phone.

Confirmed, nothing more than some sort of "bug fixing update".
I'd love to see the change log however...
I'm already on 2.3.3 but would love to get my hands on this modem file.
does the upgrade keep all of your settings and installed apps intact?

updated mine and everything is still there except the home screen that came up like the stock one
anyone have a link for info on this update?
my phone disconnects each time the firmeware is about to start in Kies...don't know whats going on. Anyone with the update notice any differences?
If I installed speed mod kernal without lag fix can I just plug into kies to update or do I need to restore default kernal
Anyone care to post the firmware?
Is the modem KC1? I'm curious if we could use this modem with the leaked gingerbread!
Does the update keep the root or should I root again after it?

Except for the new style gmail app, does anybody see other differences from jl2?

Anybody mind sharing the modem? This might be a replacement modem for jl2 for a lot of people.
You can extract the modem from your updated phone.
From terminal emulator or adb:
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/bml12
This will save a copy to sdcard.

you can tell if its any different by looking at the 'baseband version' - if its something newer than JL2 then the community would definitely love it!

Yes, you can but it's a pain in the butt. Go to this thread and then download the original stock firmware. Make sure USB debugging is turned on also.
To install the file you need to have HTC Sync installed and running. Double-click the file and it should recognize the phone and start installing after some input from you.
If you get a USB error, try booting into the bootloader and installing the exe in the same manner.
I just did this last night because I was in the same situation. It works.
Now you can re-root.

You were able to downgrade to Froyo with this RUU? If so, that's great.. your the only person I've seen post successfully downgrading and being able to root.

I think everyone that ran the factory upgrade has tried this and you seem to be the only one that it has worked for. It goes through the motions then you get error 140 or 170 i think: Bootloader version error. Please get the correct rom update utility and try again
I have rooted my phone and installed the rockmod_devroms_2.3.4.1-speedy and broke my root istalling "extras" can I just try the rooting procesess again or have to revert bak to froyo?

I guess I feel pretty lucky then. I'm fairly certain I didn't miss any steps.
When I upgraded to the gingerbread stock ROM I used this link and chose the "no hboot included" option. Maybe that saved me.

It's still the same update. Whether I installed it through an OTA update or from the bootloader doesn't matter.
You guys can get into the bootloader right? Take one of those modified "official" updates, rename it to PG06IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader. Then do my first post and flash to Froyo so you can root again. May be worth a shot.

This has already been tried and covered in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142115&page=2
I posted the same link in the beginning of this thread.
Unless you have an engineering bootloader, like after you rooted, you can only flash an an un modified pg0610.zip from htc. So any one who took an over the air update is SOL on that front. Best hope now is that the evo 3d root can be applied here

Wow, I almost just majorly screwed myself (again). I have the shift and its just been sitting in my drawer, waiting to be activated after carefully reading thru the forums so i do not true brick it again.
Anyway, for some weird reason, pulled it out just to charge the battery, and it requested to do an update (since it was connected via wifi), it tried and got stuck (praise the Lord) and Im just now reading this realizing I almost just GOOFED UP BIG TIME. So, wanted to take the time to thank the OP for this post which made me aware of the fact that I would be SOL if I had've upgrade and to prevent me from upgrading. THANKS!!!
