So yesterday I wanted to go back to stock rom by flashing noobnl's stock DI18 rom without using odin. I wasn't sure i was supposed to but i also flashed the DI18 modem zip. When I tried to do so the installation was aborted and for some odd reason, i'm back to DG27 baseband... Can someone help me out? Do I have to flash back to stock via Odin or what? (btw, i'm rather new to Android... came from WM)
Hello fellow XDA members. I'm in need of a little guidance. I currently have (please see title of thread) and I'm looking to flash the DK28 Froyo either through update.zip or Odin. If I'm correct when I flash this I will lose root? Will I also lose my kernel, or will that DK28 zip or tar file come with it's own kernel? If it does come with it's own kernel I wouldn't need to do anything but flash or update.zip the DK28 file correct? Or would I need to take my Phoenix kernel off? If so where do I find the stock kernel. I've searched and searched and sorry if I'm not seeing it and if someone could provide a link to it that would be great. If I do not need to do this and just go straight from what I have to DK28 that would be even better. The reason for me wanting to do this is that I have lost most but not all faith in Samsung/Sprint whoever is in charge of the 2.2 update (but that's for another argument not in here). If someone could please help that would be fantastic. Your help is always appreciated with me.
Thanks
Tom
I'm assuming you found this page: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-update-sprint-epic-4g-to-android-2-2
If you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861220 that thread it has a DK28 that is ready to go (pre-rooted and everything). Flash through Odin.
If you want to avoid GPS issues do this:
1.) Flash stock DI18 through Odin.
2.) Turn phone on and get a GPS lock.
3.) Install DK28 using update.zip method (use factory android recovery)
4.) At this point you're done. You're going to have to root the phone and restore all your apps, etc.
Good luck
Thanks for the info.
I am a newbie and have read a lot on this forum. I am confused. Is there a simple way to go from DK28 to EB13? I think I have to downgrade to 118 first?
Could someone list the methodology and maybe a link to the necessary files. I am sure this must be on the forum here somewhere, but I am unable to find it.
THANKS,
Todd
I'm seconding this request.
Just get the samung fimwareupdater.exe from their website, run it and follow the onscreen instructions
I was on dk28 and it went through flawlessly

Well, if you are coming from DK28 and want to go to EB13, you're going to have to use the windows installer. Using update.zip will not work. The windows installer is essentially a greatly simplified ODIN which will get EB13 on there, but at the cost of wiping the device completely (but not the SD card.) Downgrading to DI18 isn't needed before running the upgrade tool. The upgrade tool will wipe it and you'll end up with a factory clean install.
It's a pain to reinstall everything (I didn't have root and didn't use Ti backup) BUT I've been rewarded with a clean install that runs fast as heck. All in all, it probably took me an hour or so to manually recover, but that's a small price to pay in my book.
Use the Samsung updater tool to completely reflash - it is like Odin for dummies
It will kill everything on your phone though, so be sure to use a back up of your choice. I just did a backup in CWM first. Then after re-rooting I did an advanced restore of just data in CWM - worked perfectly. (I did have some issues with re-rooting, but I think they were a combo of user error and PC driver error).
I made a thread that had the links...but its since been buried
Just go to samsung.com and then click support and type in sph d700 where it says device number or something, then click software downloads

Follow those to the tee.. and you're fine!

You do not have to downgrade. Go to the samsung website and download the .exe file on there.
CAUTION it will delete all of your internal phone data (not your SD card), and it will de-root your phone, but you can follow the normal process to reroot.
What is the windows installer?
There are a few different ways that have been outlined in various threads.
Option 1
Odin to di18 and use the update.zip.
Option 2
Use Samsung's updater to directly install eb13. It is basically odin repackaged with a front end so you can't choose the wrong settings.
Option 3
Use clockworkmod to flash back to di18 (use the di18 with modem found in the wiki), then manually insert the original recovery so that the update.zip works
Option 4
Use clockworkmod to flash to di18 and then use clockworkmod again to flash the pre-rooted deodexed di18->eb13 update (which is also found in the wiki).

Just go to the link in my post.
It says you need 32bit windows, I have 64 bit mac and windows 7, and you need 118, I have DK28 on my phone. Still way too confusing.
Don't worry.
Just download and run it.
I did it on my cousins 64bit win 7 home premium laptop with dk28
And it took about 2 minutes to upgrade from dk28 to eb13
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I believe if you grab and install the drivers first before installing the update tool, you won't have any problems. I've heard of others running 64bit win 7 installs with no problems.
How do I wipe my phone clean from a MAC that has DK28? I have windows 7 on a vmfusion and it doesn't seem to work. When I download the update file from Samsung and apply on my SDcard it says it "E:Can't open / sdcard/update.zip (bad) I also tried just naming update.
The update.zip is not flashable from clockworkmod. It checks to make sure you have the stock recovery in place, which you don't if cwm is installed.
Use one of the methods previously mentioned.
It's confirmed that update.zip doesn't work on stock DK28?
I thought people said it worked fine.
It does, but you can't just rename it "update.zip" and expect to flash it using CWM, (most likely means you have a Modded DK28 Rom) you have to have the regular Android recovery. The stock Recovery has Blue letters I believe and CWM has green letters that is how you know the difference.
Still no help for me- I have a mac (no access to windows) and want to go from DK28 to EB13. Any help out there??
thanks!

You forgot Odin:
1. Odin to eb13 rom and modem.
Or
2. Odin the eb13 modem then either flash the deodexed rom in clockwork or flash the official update.zip in stock recovery if you have all the sprint apps..

I recently updated to EI22 via CWM doing a wipe/clean/fresh install.
Everything works great but my modem (baseband version) in my 'about' section is reading as D700.0.5S.EH06 and I want to update it to EI22 and see how it runs.
I've tried both zip files: modem.EC05toEI22 and Modem_EI22 and neither will install from CWM.
Is there a Odin file for this modem yet?
------------UPDATE-------------
Thanks for the fix guys! I'll post it here up top just to make it easy to find.
This if requires CWM or similiar to update the modem file. No Odin bin available yet as far as I know.
download modem.EC05toEI22.zip and modem_EC05.bin files.
copy modem.EC05toEI22.zip to SD card.
Boot phone into download mode (hold 1 + power)
Use Odin to flash phone to EC05
power off phone
boot phone into CWM
install modem.EC05toEI22.zip
reboot phone.
Baseband verion now - D700.0.5S.EI22
Thanks for the fix to this to those who replied.
Odin phone back to EC05
You have to odin ec05 then flash that zip it won't work from eh06

You need to odin to eco5 to update using cwm.
Do we need to revert just the modem to ec05 or revert to the stock rom ??

Just the modem.
What about eb13?

Currently, the only two ways to get the EI22 Modem is by OTA update or fashing the EC05 Modem so you can then CWM the EI22 delta file which adds code to the existing EC05, thus making it EI22.
A last way to get EI22 flashed is by Odin, but that's not until we get a tar of the OTA from Samfirmware or Samsung Opensource I think.

I've been on CM9 since Alpha 1 so thats what, 2 months? Well anyways, that means ive been away from GB and all of its issues for so long i forgot how to find certain things.
I was backing up my sd card and stuff cu i was ready to try out some GB TW just to see what sprint/sammy has been upto, but i have a big dilemma. I remember that in order to root GB, you had to flash a CWM through Odin, however i deleted the CWM files i had (i think i had 3.1 or something and 5.0.something) because i figured theyd be easy to find again, but i cant find them anywhere! Not even the wiki!
I was looking for a stock FC09 TAR to convert me back to BML and clear out my phone from all the hiccups i caused but i cant find it so i was trying to settle for stock EL30 TAR without ANY mod's because its been a while so i dont wanna take any chances because im way more accustomed to ICS than GB.
I figure install EL30 then update to fc09 and keep it like that for a few days until i miss ICS again and reflash to CM9-B1.
So, does anyone know where i may find the relevant files i need?
Also, after flashing stock GB, what do you recommend i do afterwards to help improve it?
Thanks and sorry for the long post...any help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded with tits
Search "epic 4g gb kernel source" its the ei22 kernel by mkasick you odin. And search clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 epic 4g you should be able to find the threads for em. Search stock el30 epic 4g. All this through xda's search should bring you what you want.

LOL i found all of those but those are so old i figured they were outdated! But really sitting there and telling me to search still doesnt help me and its insulting that you, biggoron, would even think i wouldnt search before posting...i need to know what to do because all of this info is now a clusterfuck, unlike when they first came out everything was sequential and easy to follow...
So, first i would flash EL30 stock tar and click repartition to get it to BML and then OTA to FC09 and then Odin ei22 clean kernel and then update CWM to 5.0 through clean kernel CWM and then flash any fc09 kernel and i should be set, right?
I dont remember the exact process, man i miss the OCR method
im sorry was in a hurry lol.. now that im sitting at my desk i can grab all those links and instructions .
For Rooting El30 or any GB for that matter :
Flash this kernel through odin without anything checked. Then pop out the battery and flash this Recovery. Once that is done you can find an super user .zip to flash su-efgh-3.0.zip and all that jazz. That is if you plan on staying on stock if not just download and flash your custom ROM of choice.
To go Back to stock :
Simply flash this Stock EL30 TAR through odin.
Notes: For flashing through odin you download the .tar.md5 versions of everything.
Zips are for recovery .
Even you need anything else or have any trouble feel free to PM me .
Edit you would odin just the stock tar... then accept the ota then follow the root process... and its the kernelGBa3.tar that you want to odin then recovery then flash the su.zip. then you can flash an fc09 kernel but make a nandroid just incase. Also in between flashing the kernel and odin you'll unplug it pop out the battery and put it back in and go into download mode and then flash the recovery.
