Hi there. I recently rooted and upgraded my phone to 2.2 Froyo. I probably shouldn't have because I was having issues with my phone before I did anything. I need to return my phone to Verizon because they sent me a replacement, and I'm not sure how to restore my phone back to the default 2.1 Eclair. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
There are lots of good posts about how to do this. Find the post entitled Odin DL17 or something along those lines.

I have updated and rooted my phone with Froyo 2.2. I need to send it back to verizon for a warranty replacement. After I SBF back to 2.1 I will have the stock software and no root. Does anyone know if there will be any issues sending this back? I am worried that the bootloader version got updated when moving to Froyo. Thanks for any help.
Have sent several phones back after rooted and sbfed so you will be good.
Even sent one back still rooted and nothing was said. Only problem I ran into was at a store and the tech seen the hack software on my sdcard.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it looks like the return will go over without an issue after an SBF.
Hey guys quick question, I woke up this morning to turn my alarm off and there was a message that my update finally arrived. I clicked ok and went back to sleep and thought it would update the phone. I am still rooted and oclf is still in effect my quadrant score was ~2200. System info said 2.1-update 1 and T959UVJFD. I don't think it went through.

You are correct, the update didnt apply itself to your phone.
But from the sounds of it you are rather lucky it didnt. Most rooted users who leave their phone rooted and try to apply the update end up in the Q&A section starting a threadlike "OTA brocked my phone"
I suggest you remove the lag fix, un root, and then search the forums for the post about using launcher pro to force your phone to search for the update.
Conversely, there is also a thread about how to manually install the new update.
Again, you will have to search it out as I cant currently post links.
Hope this helps

I had the same thing happen. I was rooted with OCLF installed, I disabled everything, unrooted, and uninstalled OCLF.
I went ahead and started the update and BAM! "froze" on vibrant screen- good bye! I had to ODIN, and reflash back to stock.
Up to you at this point...good luck.

Yea I didn't get the update, I went ahead and loaded Rom manager and backed up my rooted Rom and used the download section to load the j16 Rom from them and it looks like it loaded and everything I but still doesn't show up in my settings. Still stock

Be sure to undo the root/OCLF before trying to update anything.

For anybody still waiting impatiently on the update. You may want to consider flashing Fusion 1.1 from the dev section. It is from the update build so you wouldnt need the update, and it is a lot faster and very stable. Read through the forum over there if you are interested. There is a lot of excellent feedbeck. It can be flashed over JFD through clockwork very easily.
Dear All
before i restore my last eclair stock rom by red cwm, what should i do??
right now i using 2.4 voodoo with enable lagfix.
Do i have to :
1. go to cwm, disable lagfix
2. wipe all
3. restore eclair backup
4. reboot, flash by odin di01modem.tar
5. that's it
is it work to get me back my eclair stock rom??
or i just follow this Link

Thx
Odin for full di01 will do the trick, no need for anything else.

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

I found that turning of gps when not in use(I never use it) stopped the battery drain.
I also want to go back to eclair and cant find it anywhere. I have my phone on metro and I cant get my web and mms to work, also my phone shows only 1.47 g internal memory. I bought this phone used so who knows what was dont to it. Anyone have an idea where to get eclair???
Edit- Installed this via odin as instructed. worked great took me back to 2.1 update 1 which is what i had when i got the phone. Will continue to work on the mms and web issue. Oh and still have the memory issue

Hey Guys,
Iam trying to flash my samsung vibrant to a new ROM. But what if I wont like it and want to go back to an original firmware my phone came with? I tried searching answers but there are multiple ones and I cant understand it so figured I ask here. Can I somehow backup my current version or download it so I can go back to just stock firmware that the phone came out the box?
Thanks for your help
You can make a back up with rom manager or you can learn to odin back to stock. Check the stickies or search for more info.

thanks, tried rom manager but cant get it to backup need to look into odin backup
Odin doesn't do backups, you can flash back your stock Froyo rom using it though.
Search in here how to flash back to stock throthroug odin so u can download the proper ROM

In order to make a backup, you need to be rooted, in order to root you need to have an update.zip file on your phone in order for the file to work you need to be on 2.1 firmware, you can probably find the file stickied in the development section, or q/a section.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Odin is the ticket. It doesn't do a backup - it restores your phone to it's fresh out of the box state. There are 2 files you need, but they're easy to find.
But blaqr0d is going to be right - once you start flashing you will only want to go back to stock if you encounter a problem.
Here's a vid I think is very helpful.
OP, please read my stickies in my signature. You will learn a lot and not waste others time.

Found a post that I thought would work so I tired it out. I flashed my devise back to Dl17 and low and behold the firmware was the issue. Now i am recieveing Ota updates and getting back to 2.2. Thanks to Txwolf for posting that tutorial on what to do for a noob like me. Sorry I didn't find it earlier. I will diffidently be staying away from Rom toolbox and this time I am going to flash CWM and do a nandroid back up.

Yeah I know, I am back up though and I don't plan on rooting again it caused too many problems with this phone and I dont want to have to go through it again. I am kind of glad this happened though because now the phone seems to be running faster than it used to.
