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

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 have done a lot of searching on this topic, but as yet have not been able to find a specific answer for the SGTab. So I hope I am not asking for the obvious, even for a noob.
I have done a full flash with no trouble (thanks to the XDA guides and videos, and Roto's great ROMs), but now I want to install an upgrade.zip From what I have gathered, I can do this by copying the upgrade.zip to the SD card, and then accessing it through the tab's recovery mode (power+vol_down), rather than flashing through Odin.
I would very much like to confirm if I am on the right track, and also whether I put the .zip file on the SD card or the extracted file?
Thanks for your help.
_________________
Sorry - I think the recovery mode should be power + vol_up
What is the purpose of the upgrade.zip? Like a theme, or a rom upgrade?
It is Rotos JMI v2 upgrade.
I ran the upgrade with Odin as PDA. No pit file, No modem file, No repartition required.
I think what he wants to know isflashing ghe update on recovery mode instead of using odin for that instant.. well id like to know that too
The Roto upgrades are made for Odin, and not made to be ran as that type of upgrade. Roto said that down the road, using the recovery Chainfire was building, he would bundle his upgrades as an upgrade.zip, but not yet.

Thanks for the explanation, I now know why it didn't work. However, Odin did so I have got to where I wanted. Thanks.
However, if I was to be using that type of update, is the process I mentioned the way to do it, i.e. copy update.zip to the sdcard root and process through the tab recovery mode?

Yes that is the process. It is the usual method to flash roms, modems, themes, etc. the time is very close for tab owners. I am trying a beta of this process when I finish my daily reading of xda.

What rom?...
nebula 1.0.7 from 1.0.5
I can boot into recovery and download , but not sure where to go from here
You could flashing a different rom. Or Odin to stock then reflash the rom
Do you have any backups that you can restore from? You can also try to flash it again and see how that goes. If nothing else you can use odin

how can i use odin to flash a rom? How can I add roms to my phone? It wont mount
You don't use Odin to flash a rom. You use it to flash stock kernal and modem. I mean, you could either try doing the wipe and flash a different rom. Or Odin to dk28, then flash a rom. If your phone won't mount, just stick the sd card in your computer (if you have the slot)

Do you want stock eclair 2.1 or leaked froyo 2.2.1?
To odin (flash) to froyo (even if you had eclair installed, you can use this to upgrade) follow these instructions
Download the required .tar file
Download Odin
Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”
Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off
Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up
Plug your device in
Place the .tar file in the PDA slot
Start flashing
Congratulations! You now have Android 2.2.1 Froyo (DK28) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Sprint!

Alternatively to odin (flash) back to eclair 2.1 you can follow the exact same steps from above except use this .tar instead
Download the required .tar file
Download Odin
Open up Odin and put your phone into “download mode”
Turn off your phone, wait until the lights turn off
Hold “1″ on the keyboard while powering up
Plug your device in
Place the .tar file in the PDA slot
Start flashing
Congratulations! You now have Android 2.1 Eclair (Di18) on your Samsung Epic 4G from Nextel!

I had the same thing happen to me when I first installed Nebula 1.0.7. I was able to fix it simply by booting back into CW and re-flashing the rom. Hope this helps you out.

This is your best bet. You have Nebula on your SD, boot in CW, reflash right over what you got. It should boot. If not you have no choice but to Odin to stock then try again.

and its back!! now my last question, will I need to do anything else to try installing roms again? Like do I need to flash the modem or anything like that?
To stay with stock dk28 (not recommended because it isn't stable), you don't need to odin anything other than the tar I described.
For custom roms, you will need to reroot using the one click method described here.
This will install clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 which will also reformat your phone to ext4. After this, you can flash your custom ext4 dk28 rom of choice (I like bonsai).
When you Odin, you already get the modem.

So since I am a college student I dont have a PC to install the cwm3 or odin the extended tar through odin. And my dual boot mac wont recognize me epic as a device even after i downloaded the drivers. Is there any way to get ext4 without the use of a computer? can i just download a ext4 rom and flash it through clockwork mod 2 to get ext4? Help Help Help!!!
I don't think its possible. Why can't you borrow someones box for 10 minutes? Now having said that you could do it the old fashion way with ADB.
Another thought here: dl the update zip from samsung to go to eb13, but your still not rooted. Another option would be to search for an app called heimdal <sp?> that can be used instead of odin.

As long as you have root you can manually install whichever version of clockworkmod you want without needing a computer. I have posted instructions here several times now.
hey all,
im fairly new to android and i've only had my phone for about a few weeks, but i do love to tinker and im fairly computer literate.
my goal is go install SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0(standard), for the speed and lightweight-ness(probably not a real word).
i've followed the instructions numerous times, but i think im definitely doing something wrong since its not working.
3-4 days ago i did install the "Froyo EC05 Prerooted/ClockWorkMod v2.5.1.0 (RFS Filesystem) Odexed" ROM from AndroidCentral, and it worked pretty well over the weekend.
after reading up about SyndicateROM frozen 1.1.0, it seemed like a natural progression for me. i've been struggling all morning with installing it. with modem firmwares, with clockwork(tho it did get installed)
i just flashed my phone back to 2.1 using Odin3+v1.61. i have the windows drivers installed properly. No SuperUser is installed. looks pretty plain jane 2.1 to me.
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband : S700.0.5S.DI18
kernal: 2.6.29
build number: SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18
hardware version D700.0.5
how do i know what version my modem is?
in terms of following the instructions right now, which path would i follow?
looks like i need to follow "If you are not on EC05 or SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1/1.0.2:"
if thats the case, do i run CWM3 first? or do i flash the modem first?
also, when i go to flash my modem with "acs-ec05-modem.tar" in odin, it seems like the only field that will take a TAR file is the PDA field. is that correct?
the next step is to install/run clockwork, Wipe data for best results, and flash the ROM.
how do i go about flashing the rom in clockwork? is it the "apply update.zip" ?
to save you some time do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209

You modem is the baseband so urs is d118,
in order to upgrade it, either use odin or i believe there is a flashable zip around the development section as well.

Sorry i changed my post just odin the above like you did for d118, and then odin the ec05 modem then flash syndicate.
And the modem goes in the phone section, it takes tar files
when you say flash syndicate, i have to boot into clockwork right? then goto "apply update", find the syndicate zip file and let it do its thing?
i did find a critical error tho, i looked on my sdcard, and my syndicaterom.zip(frozen 1.1.0) was only 1.5megs. hummm looks like my copy got jacked up.
After you odin and it re boots power off then go into cwm to let it do the ext4 conversion then it will boot then power off and flash modem then flash rom.

Benchmarks don't really mean anything unless you're comparing your phone to someone else's which I recognize that you are doing. As long as your phone is quick and smooth you're fine. Those numbers seem about right from what I've seen others post.

backup
format sd card
odin3 and flash stock of choice
root phone with clockwork mod of choice
install rom of choice
wipe wipe wipe
install kernal of choice

Connect phone via usb and copy JVH_KC1_BMC.zip to root of sdcard
Restart phone in download mode
Open Odin and click PDA
Select Speedmod tar file
Uncheck Auto-Reboot
Check F.Reset Time (I don't know what it does, but it's always checked)
Flash the tar.
Once complete and the box says "PASS" in green, unplug your phone and pull the battery (I was told it's safe, as it's in the MIUI instructions as well)
Put battery back in and start phone in recovery with VOL UP+HOME+POWER
In recovery choose to update from zip
Choose file from sdcard
Choose the JVH_KC1_BMC zip file and update
The phone will restart/install.
Once it's started up for the first time I recommend restarting in download mode and flashing the stock JVH kernal
You can also use any kernal you want.
Let me know if I can help at all. I was trying to make a completely odin flashable tar for this but failed miserably :9
I'll do my best to answer any questions however this is my first time making something to flash for you all

Hi,
I saw your thread, and I found it very interesting for people who own a Bell SGS 9000m Vibrant and wanna upgrate to Gingerbread.
So I decided to flash the Gingerbread JVH ROM just like you did, but I need to know a few things:
1. Will I be able to downgrade to my original stock froyo after this flash ?
2. Will I be able to update via Kies in case Bell release an official gingerbread update ?
3. Right now my phone is SIMUnlocked, will I lose my SIMunlockation after the flash ?
4. And is my actual configuration right to excecute this flash or should I flash something else before ?
My configuration is the following:
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Firmware
2.2
Kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
Build number
FROYO.UGJL2
galaxy s vibrant bell

Thanks for your hard work, I hope to read back from you soon.
I have exact same configuration and exact same questions as poster above!!!

I am going to try. So there is no need for me to select any Pit file or did the guy forget to mention it ? Also can we tick the repartition option in Odin?
Sorry if I ask usekess question I am used to flash android but new to the SGS flashing...
when you repartition you need a PIT file.
My advice is to not repartition unless you need it.
Too late... I did it got stuck into bootloop. I had an error when I tried to install the zip from the recovery (I had recovery 3e) : E : Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) . However, I flashed the back eclair JHL and went back to the stock eclair rom. I am going to restart from there following your intructions. I now have recovery 2e ( Somehow I can't get ClockWorkMod Recovery to load directly; it always send me to recovery 2e and there I apply update.zip to go to CWM recovery)
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I manage to get it done.
Still get the error E:Short write of/tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) when try to install JVH_KC1_BMC.zip from the recovery 3e ( this recovery comes right after I flash SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar ...
Don't know what else to try... Help please..
I did it a slightly different way. From 2.2, I flashed a stock 3 part gingerbread rom (phone, PDA, CSC) with bootloader update using ODIN 1.82. I then flashed CF root gingerbread kernel for CWM3 and then flashed the KC1 modem from clockwork recovery for the 850 band.
Could you please show me the exact files you used so I can try to do the same ?
Aren't there at least a couple threads on how to install jvh/jvp on an i9000? Its the exact same process as those you just have to flash the kc1 modem via cwm after you are done. It sounds like you guys are experimenting too much.

Our canadian phone is not really different from all the other ones, so you don't need a special "Bell Canada" installation.
If you want JVH, you can follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to do everything like fugumod, etc. I would flash JVH via odin and then flash CF root kernel via odin so you get CWM3.
There's also leaked 2.3.4 JVP gingerbread out, if you feel inclined:

But it started doing this I had a message like sd could not be mounted in recovery 3e. Now I can't even access recovery after I flash Eclair but Download mode is still okay...
Aby ideas ?
Have you tried flashing back the stock JL2 firmware from bell? (found on samfirmware.com)
I've never encountered this error before, I wonder if it is a problem with the bootloaders, as the official froyo firmware from bell had a secondary bootloader and gingerbread has its own bootloaders as well.

Also if you repartitioned it when you tried to flash the whatever it was when you tried you will also have to repartition it when going back down to froyo.
2.2 and 2.3 use different bootloaders therefore if you try to mix and match rom's without the bootloaders and repartioning you will get a ****y phone.
