Yea i understand that but my ? is since my phone is di18 already if i use this file and odin to update it.... will it work correctly? will odin install the di18 again since my phone is already at di18 or do i have to roll it back to a earlier version then use odin to di18?

If you use Odin, it will overwrite EVERYTHING.. It does not matter what you have.. You can have a blank rom for all it cares.. It wipes and flashes... Thats it.
After ODIN you will have a STOCK phone, running whatever firmware you flashed the rom with..
Does that help any more?
yep all i needed to no thank you very much sir. and will my contacts be deleted as well? i assume yes since you mentioned everything will be wiped. thanks again

If you save them to your Google account then no they will be automatically synced when you re-connect to GApps.
But seriously I explained this all to you already, go check back in the official di18.tar.md5 thread and you will see my response. You keep jumping back and forth between different threads asking the same exact questions repeatedly, so pick one and stick with it.
You're question has been answered beyond any doubt, so there really is no reason for this thread to still be open.
I'm not trying to be a ****, but that bar up on the top of the page is for searching the forums, so next time use that first and if you cannot find ANY information about your issue, THEN create a new thread.
on your contacts you can also save/export them to the sd card, go to contacts, menu/more/ then you can import or export them.
(sorry if this has been covered in other threads, I searched and couldn't find it)
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

Ofcourse you lose everything. Re-install them back. What i like to do is take screenshots of all my home screens (i'm anal about which apps go on what home screens ) so i know easily what to reinstall.
Can someone help me find a clockworkmod flashable version of 2.1 update 1? I searched all over, the one by eugene in the bible has been deleted and I read on the thread that vibrantdump.zip link lead me to that its only odin flashable? I have it, will it flash via clockwork? Sending my phone back and want to semi return it to stock at least. Thx

Sorry I can't help you as I don't have what you're looking for. However, why not just use odin? It's just as easy as clockwork to use.
Just follow this guide to the letter and all will be well, I promise...

Go to this page to download the TRUE stock rom. I think it is in ODIN's format but it should work easity just as clockwork. I don't know if it's the same version as the one you have but give ODIN a chance, it was very simple for me and I'm practically a noob.

What's the zip file? Odin files usually contain a pit and a tar file. clockwork's zip have a bunch of folders and files, I think.
Yea you cannot use CWM to flash an Odin package. Use Odin to get back to 2.1.

KA6 is official now - so no need to go all the way back to 2.1 to return phone. But you'll still need to use Odin to get the completely stock version on.

File is vibrantdump.zip, got it from the bible. I dont want to go all the way back to stock, just dont want them to turn it on and it be running nero v5.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So, could you flash back to stock with the current 2.2 update from Samsung? Or would flashing back to 2.1 be better?
vibrantdump.zip isn't an actual rom - it's just an archive containing the vibrant file tree. It doesn't have any scripts to install or anything.
Edit: If you're sending it back to Samsung for warranty work, you could always use a stock (not deodex/root/etc) JI6 clockwork mod image. KA6 is official, but not required.
I don't believe its possible to use CWM to flash back to 2.1 from 2.2 in any case because it doesn't backup the kernel. ODIN is the best (perhaps only?) way, but again not necessary since KA6 2.2 is now official.

You can flash a 2.1 rom with kernel such as fusion. Then flash your stock backup and a stock ji6 kernel.

Well I kinda told em that it had 2.1 update 1 lol, my reason for sending back was the gps and according to tmo cust serv the 2.2 release has a fix, I dont pay for a warranty, I guess its just a defective exchange. It also gets super hot above the battery when im really pushing it, that may be why they issued the return because I told them about that too. so if I cant flash the vibrantdump.zip, what would be a rom that simulates 2.1 the best? I cant get to a pc so I cant odin until wednesday and need to get it resembling stock before then. I know I cant lose clockwork recovery but just wanted it to say the right stuff in phone info and have the right startup shutdowns you know? Am I just worrying too much?
Edit: I cant kies mini the new update, no pc, there isnt a clockwork flashable version of it yet is there? could tell them I got it ota while waiting for new phone

I have both the DK17 & DK28 with modem.tar and .pit. Is the .pit version specific, or can I simply use the .pit from there (and build the .tar using the modem.bin, of course)??
You don't neef a pit at all. The pit is for mapping. When flashing a full rom tar the mapping is built into the tar

But what if I am flashing modem ONLY? I want to downgrade my modem on my DK28 ROM, so all I want to do is to flash the DI18 modem.
In this case, don't I need the .pit file, since I am not flashing the full ROM?
By the way, I tried using the flashable in Clockwork, but like many others, it didn't work.

It seems to be working fine for many here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922428
Edit:
Back to my original questions:
1) Is there a DI18 Odin (modem.tar + .pit) flash?
-or-
2) Do I need the .pit file if I am flashing modem only?
3) If I do need .pit, can I take the DI18 modem.bin file and inserted into a DK17 or DK28 modem Odin package? (I tried this, but it didn't work, don't know why. Is there a different procedure for this?)
1) Take the modem from a di18 odin image. Just open the tarball with 7-zip or winrar.
2) No, but it doesn't hurt to use it anyway. And all the pits are basically the same, with some minor differences in partition sizes. The victory pit is the latest and works with all previous odin-able images.
3) There may be some signing or a checksum needed to create a package that odin will flash.
Question for the OP-
Why do you want to flash the di18 modem? The dk28 modem seems to work fine for everyone. Is there some difference or specific reason why you want that modem?
People are having random 4G/Wimax drops using DK28 modem (mine does this too). It has been speculated that the DI18 modem works better with 4G. I am also suffering the Status 7 error trying to update the modem with CMR 2.5.1, so 0din is the only way to go to get around the status 7 error.
I am also looking for the modem/pit file to use. Can someone detail how to do this with the full di18 rom to just flash modem only?
Thanks!
I have not done this so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you open the full DI18 tar file (with 7zip or winrar) you will see modem.bin as a file inside. Copy that out of the tar file into a folder or your desktop. Then in Odin, select "Phone" and select the modem.bin you just extracted.
victory_8G_100528.pit or s1_odin_20100512.pit should work for your pit file which probably came zipped with your odin download. If not do a search for one.
I was able to flash the DI18 modem file using the .BIN from the official full, and the .PIT from Odin (victory). Make sure you select "Phone" and I also deselected "F Reset Time".
Baseband version shows: D700.0.5S.DI18
Running stock DK28. Lets see if this 4g is faster now
EDIT: No service now... anybody have any ideas what could cause this?
I ended up reverting. Was not able to get 3g service, but strangely 4G was working fine.

See my link from post #10. It seems like DI18 solves some random data drop issues. For me, [I believe] the radio locks up randomly, causing the phone to reboot. I am just curious to try DI18 to see if it helps. Despite the notion that DI18 radios to not work with DK28 ROMs, there are a few people in that link that are using DI18 and loving it.

odin eh03 gb then root it. no need for ed05 or ota update...follow section 4 then section 5 of my guide.
is there anything good about the update??? what was new with it??? minus messing up rooting??
Stock eh03 gingerbread is alot faster than stock ed05 Froyo imo...cant comment on anything else because I have not ran stock eh03 longer than 20min, that was just to see If I could flash cm7 from it.
ok thank you
I used odin to root my phone after verizons update.
Just Odin the stock EH03 package and then flash SuperClean v3.05 in cwm and you'll have all the rooted, deodexed, debinged and debloated Gingerbread glory that you can stand! It has caused me to fall in love with my Fascinate all over again!
Can someone please tell me where to download the ROM's other than Multiupload.
Download time there for me says it is over 3 hours.
Looks like I got the OTA during the night and my Fascinate is stuck in recovery now.
Since I am hosed anyway I want to finally make the jump and start flashing some ROM's.
If I can ever get a download link that works
