So, I Odin'd back to DI18. Once I did, 5 minutes later my phone said it needed to update. I would suggest that if you are willing to Odin back to DI18, you will be able to update to EC05.
If you don't have the DI18, here is the like for to revert back to 2.1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032

I have a rooted fascinate with dj05, and I want to go back to stock with no root, di01 or dl09 I dont really care, as long as i get back to stock, so is there a way to do that? If it involves any risks, I'll just wait til froyo comes out then.
Actually, going back to stock is extremely easy. Simply odin the full DI01 package and *poof* your back to complete stock like nothing had ever happened.
Thank you so much!
I flashed the DK28 update.zip file and was wondering if I can simply flash the Di18 update.zip file to go back?
There's a Q&A section just to let you know.
You would have to odin back to di18.
Sent from my Epic 4g.
There are also instructions in the wiki on how to odin back to di18.
Every time I ODIN back to DI18, even in pure stock, once my gmail account finishes syncing it wont let me download apps from the market. Anyone know how to resolve this? I run ODIN to DI18, do not use any backup software, and start everything from fresh. So yes, I do a wipe of my SD card as well. It's when I sync my gmail account that the market no longer download. I can tap on "download" but it simply wont take. If I go back to DK28, everything works fine. If I ODIN back to DI18, again, the market stops working. The entire time, I work from clean installs with no use of backups. Anyone, help?
OK, so I am new to the epic 4g (it belongs to a friend, I have a cappy). I've flashed to stock, upgraded to E05, rooted with the latest one-click, and all that goes perfectly!
When I install bonsai 4.0.1 the installation goes flawless, but on bootup it keeps doing the FC vibrate and boot loops. I've tried 3 fresh installs but I am getting nowhere. I have also tried it doing the 3x wipes and without. I'm familiar with odin, so I know it's not something there. Any thoughts?
Having the same issue. Sadly.
*One thing I'll note is to ensure you are using ClockWorkMod 3, not 2.5. Wanna make sure you have the correct file type (EXT4).
I have tried to install Bonsai 4.0.0 & 4.0.1 multiple times and have had the same boot loop issue.
I love the Bonsai (3.0) Rom, which worked just fine w/ EB13, but has not worked at all since upgrading to EC05. I want to keep EC05 as bluetooth actually works.
I always odin back to Stock DI18 and update to EC05, then root using CMW 3, wipe date/cache/dalvik 3X, then install Bonsai 4 (and 4.0.1 one another attempt). The install seems to be successful, but I end-up stuck in the boot loop. I tried to re-flash the ROM after netting the bootl oop, but it errors-out in CWM.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am crazy frustrated as there must be something simple I am missing...?
If you follow the instructions exactly you can't go wrong. Forget what you think you know. Bonsai is totally different than other roms out there...

I was having problems after installing bonsai, force closes, no call sounds, ect. I copied all the files on the sd card to pc and formated th sd card. I only put the bonsai rom on the sd card and then flashed. Put files that I wanted back on card after and everything is great. If all else fails try it, I have seen it work on several different epics.

Did you update to EC05 with the "over the air" update? If so, there has been a lot of issues with that.
Yes, best to go back to eb13 prerooted with CWM3 and then go to Bonsai.
So am I reading that Bonsai 4 is incompatible w/ EC05?
I have gotten Bonsai up an running while on EB13, but no such luck since upgrading to EC05. I am not using the OTA update.
I have also heard that there may be issues w/ CWM 3 and EC05?
Any insights?

Bonsai 4.0.0+ is a EC05 ROM. It uses Framework and kernel source of EC05(heavily modded of course just like the other EC05 ROM's). But I too have been reading many reports from folks having issues flashing ROMs from stock EC05. Not sure if Sprint/Samsung has thrown some kind of roadblock in there or if it's something we are missing here, but it doesn't matter how you get there. If you are on EB13 when you flash Bonsai 4.0.1+ it will update the modem for you, so it's not necessary to be on EC05 when you flash the ROM.
As far as CWM goes, the Epic community is in need of an official version of CWM 3.
I got it to work!
Odin'd back to stock, completed stock upgrade to EB13, then installed CMW 3 and flashed Bonsai 4.0.1.
I did have to reflash Bonsai once in CWM, but I am now up and running on Bonsai 4.0.1 on the EC05 Kernal and loving it!
Thank you very much for your assistance.
I noticed lately that when I switch phones and activate back to the epic, that I have to odin back to di18 in order for the data connection to come back up. After the flash and reboot, I have to quickly switch to wifi or the auto update of ec05 will bogart the data connection too much.
It seems that prl and profile updates don't work in di18 (anymore) and never did work in ec05. If I activate the epic, updating the profile and prl are steps that I take to get the phone properly provisioned and activated and since they don't work anymore, it really makes things a pain to accomplish. The new flashes for stock ec05 and the root/cwm 25xx are good and I dl'd them but haven't used them yet.
I thought about steps to shorten this procedure by odin di18 then one click 2.5.5 then nandroid the fresh rooted install. I did the same for ec05 from a stock di18, then let the updater do its business then reboot and one click then nandroid. Another problem is I can't seem to go from one to the other with restore, even with clearing data and factory reset and clear dalvik. I always get stuck in a reboot loop into the stock recovery. Another pain.
I know one answer to all this would be to stop switching phones, but why? I had a similar answer with one of the customer service boobs when I had problems activating a phone myself. He said most people don't have multiple phones and switch between them often. That may be a legit answer but I still think it is bs. I won't get into a rant about that...
My last wondering thought is, once I get either di18 or ec05 up, rooted and cwm with 25xx, do you see any problems with using rom manager to update cwm to the 3xxx versions? I'm asking this because most of the posts I've read concerning 3xxx, have to do with changing the filesystem to ext4. I didn't know if those are tied together or not. I tried going that route and didn't have any luck so I went back to rfs.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Clockwork Mod 3.x.x is only for EXT4 file systems. No matter what CWM3 looks for EXT4 at first recovery boot, if not there it will start the conversion process. So if u want CWM3 you have to deal with EXT4.
Ah ok. Thanks
I had the same issue as alot of you with not having ANY GPS at all after flashing the ACS ICS V2 Rom.
I found a solution:
After flashing the rom flash the
Modem_EI22.zip fome the 2nd post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339344
That worked for me. Hope it works for others
trying now...
(update) - no difference, still needed to ODIN to EC05, end up back at EI22 with NO GPS. oh well.
I flashed the rom 3 times last night with no luck on the GPS. I did this this morning and it worked. Maybe I just did something different.
Update:
GPS worked Once...Now it wont work Again.
Maybe I had a fluke.
I odined back to stock ec05, used stock recovery to update. After first boot I used odin and installed acs recovery, did the rom wipe, installed and have it running great with last gps check 6/6 in my apartment.

Ok, I'm starting over. I'm going to Odin back to Stock EC05 modem and ROM. Go through the process over again and see where it gets me.
I'm thinking because I didn't go back to the stock EC05 ROM, but did go to the EC05 modem that something is missing.
1. Odin to Stock EC05
2. CWM v3.1.0.1
3. Get GPS lock
4. Flash ACS ICSv2
5. Flash EI22 Modem
Fixed....3/3 sats in 30 seconds indoors facing north.
edit: EI22 modem didn't take the first time, GPS was with the EC05 modem. Rreflashed the EI22 modem listed in this thread...and...no GPS.
yea
ok so i get that i can odin back to stock ec05 reroot+cwm then flash ACS ICS to fix the gps, but can i make a nandroid and restore my data and keep gps, cause ive just spent a good hour or so getting it back like i want it and i dont want to do that bs again lol

I would assume EI22.
Well I have GPS working...
1. Odin to Stock EC05
2. CWM v3.1.0.1
3. Get GPS lock (shutdown and 3 finger salute)
4. Flash EI22 modem (Ec05toEI22 .zip)
5. Flash ACS ICS v2
I haven't rebooted the phone yet, but was able to get the GPS service to properly start and to lock in on 4/4 satellites.
