Do you what radio your phone uses? DL05 or DL09? You can check in the about phone screen under settings. baseband version will list DL05, DL09, or EA28.

Ea28
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I have read on here the EA28 will not interfere with this transition....but if all fails just use Odin to flash back to DL09 then move right into the rest...(i think when you do the DL30 move one of the steps had you use Odin to push back to DL09 before you do the rezt?!?!)

If you're new at this, don't bother flashing dl30. It's full of bugs and there should be better versions coming soon.

Downgrade DJ05 Modem???

Is there any way to downgrade back to DI01? I updated the modem firmware and now I cant text. I have to use GV which is dumb cause I dont want to confuse everyone with another number. Anything I can do? I've tried every wipe, Odin, everything....
In the same place that you found the DJ05 modem you should be able to find DI01....then you can just reflash in odin

Are you running a dj05 rom? Flashing dj05 modem on di01 rom will break texting, just as having dj05 rom with di01 modem will do the same.
Got some AMAZING help on IRC. Got two different versions of a DJ05 ROM, and a DI01 Modem. I'm hoping I'm good to go now!

Not true. The Odin DJ01 modem tar is available on IRC and can simply be flashed over the DJ05 modem (which the OP already found out).

Yep. I got the di01 modem if i want to flash back and the dj05 rom to go with my dj05 modem. I used it instead of downgrading modem. I will say the deox dj05 is MUCH snappier!

I can't update after unrooting my phone

I successfully returned my phone into stock condition by using odin recovery. There is one problem exists. My Baseband version differs from Build number. Baseband says i have DI01 but Build number says it's DH12. When I kept clicking for update, it says it's available......and when I click 'OK' to download, it downloaded upto 10% and then disconnects dued to network error. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This post probably belongs under here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
I'm not aware of whether that guide specifically includes a DH12 modem though. Is it even acceptable to post any modem on this forum?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Perhaps if you got your hands on a stock (and not deodexed) Di01 kernel and ran factory reset from Privacy?
whoever uploaded "Stock-i500-VZW-Kernel.tar" contains old DH12 file.......
anyone who has link to stock DJ01-VZW-Kernel.tar?
I forget which file that needs to get updated, but you are most likely running di01. There is one file that needs to get updated though. I typically get rid of that by installing jt's super clean rom.
get rid of dh12? how?
First its not DJ01 its DI01 the DJ update is DJ05. There are no Odin files for DI01 Google around for the DI01 ota update and apply the update.zip via recovery. Easy as that.
Either that or get JT's super clean rom v.04 that's based on DI01

It is my understanding that if you run the complete odin package it will overwrite even voodoo.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
i have killed my phone 3 times not disabling voodoo correctly when flashing roms. and each and every time adrynalyne's full di01 restore package has overwritten the whole thing for the win.
so if you are going back to bone stock, unrooted, full bloated eclair, (ie because you need to bring the phone back to verizon for warranty work) then that is your best bet. it will indeed wipe any and all voodoo whatnot from your phone.
Isn't it fine just to bring it back to stock DL09 Eclair, since that's the latest official OTA release? I don't see why you need to go back all the way to DI01 if you're planning on returning it. But I guess in the end of the day it won't really matter either way.
It doesn't really matter, all of the all in one vzw fascinate odins will work.
You technically don't _need_ to odin anything but the modem though.
For me, there was no lagfix and I had a working cwr/rom manager, so I did it in three quick steps.
1. Nandroid restore my DL09 setup.
2. Odin DL09 modem over EB01.
3. install a DL09 kernel from clockwork recovery and wipe the cache.
I was exactly where I was before with no headache.
Nandroid doesn't flash modem nor kernel.
However the all in ones may be faster if you are building from scratch (and absolutely the fastest route to stock). You should pick an all in one with the modem and kernel you want or you will have to do steps 2 & 3 either way.

I agree, but Froyo does make is a little more faster but with leaked ROMs they aren't fully tested, so that's why they are a little buggy, and thats why we have great devs here that fix em as soon as we find em

Getting rid of phone...how to get back to stock?

I want to get back to stock as if you just purchased the phone brand new. I also have voodoo if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Find the Odin package for DI01 (all in one) and flash that to your phone. It will revert it back to stock DI01. Then, you'd just have to get the DL09 and EA28 updates to have the latest stock software.

Sweet, back to stock. Where can I get the latest official updates?
the answer is in your question.
That means use the software update checker in settings. Though when I odined to DI01 the software update popped up immediately. I'm surprised it didn't for you.
Didn't for me, and when I check it just sits on "please wait" and then goes away and nothing happens.

Yeah I realized that after a few minutes. I'm just not used to updates with this phone, so I didn't even know there was an check for updates option. Didn't work though.

how did you manage to have a phone with voodoo on it when you seem to know nothing about the phone at all? And did you even take 5 seconds to do a search before asking things like "where can I get di01"? Geez, put in a little effort... or at least say thanks when someone does the legwork FOR YOU and gives you a link.

I so far have the Samsung drivers and Odin 3 but my first attempt cm7 it worked fine minus no 3g and gapps wouldn't flash/install, so than I tried going back to stock and it bricked on me " thanks to mobilecomm man" I now have my phone back but I think I'm running 2.1 is their anything newer like 2.3 ?

He should have... the guide I posted in the 2nd link clearly states to repartition. Usually if you add the pit file, repartition auto checks itself anyways.

Just use the guide I posted in the 2nd link. It will put his phone on powerwashed ed05 2.2.2 froyo. It's basically a stock rom thats already rooted, debinged, debloated, otb fusion 1.6 voodoo kernal...etc. No point in just rooting anymore with these enhanced stock roms that ccompos put together for us.

thats because the version of cwm you are running supports ext4 only, not rfs that powerwashed gingerbread is built on. Make sure you have cwm 2.5.1.x red recovery. There is no need to go all the way back to eb01. the stock ed05 package is fine.
