[Q] trying to update profile and prl in rooted stock EC05 - Epic 4G General

My radio has been randomly shutting off. Most of the time I have to go to airplane mode then back on to make it work again. Somtimes I have to restart. Does anyone have any advice. Im running stock rooted EC05.

This is a problem for many people, I would suggest looking into trying a modem upgrade.

I have no problem updating my prl and profile and have always been rooted on custom ROMs. Sounds like it is more of a modem issue with yours. You might try that EFS clear that noobnl posted.

I looked into flashing the modem and realized it is for odin. Is there an ec05 modem that can be flashed with CWM?

Sorry, all modems have to go in with Odin or Heimdall.

best way to revert from obsidian?

i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.
I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.
Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.
thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.
Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)

that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.
ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)
OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.

By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.
For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.

why such a hassle to flash a rom?

hello,i just got the samsung epic today .coming from an htc hero,its a big difference. i love the hero though. anyway,why is it such a hassle to flash a ROM with this rom? u gotta do the odin n all this stuff. with the hero u just wipe n flash.dont get me wrong,im not coming at you guys angry or anything lol.but just wondering why u gotta do this odin thing instead of just wiping n flashing
Just the new leaks because clockwork doesn't flash modems.
If you look you can find a post with a flashable modem upgrade to dk28 but it breaks gps.

you don't have to odin, you can use CWM Recovery to flash a .zip.

oh ok.yeah just downloaded the ACS modem zip thing. ..hopefully there'll be a better/easier way to do this..right?

Have one quick question about flashing my modem.

Since im pretty dumb. I was wondering if it is safe to flash just my modem to KA7 in odin without anything else being flash into the phone. All i have selected right now is PHONE - C:\Users\myname\Downloads\PDA_KA7modem\modem.bin and nothing else. Nothing in pda or pit.
p.s. im currently running nero v5
There is a clockwork flashable one in the dev section.

[Q] Help md5 zip dl09 modem rom themes

OK so i was reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451
and this might be a newb question: but how do i run this .zip with odin. He included some md5 code, but what do i do?
Also jsut checking, but this is the dl09 modem right and after flashing this, will i be able to install rom such as DL09 super clean 0.4 on it and after i install that rom, how do i know which themes work on that rom?
Thanks so much, trying to come out of newbhood, into haxorhood
PS Couldnt replly to thread so posting it here
If you don't know how to use it, you need to read more stuff about flashing roms etc, as there are instructions in several threads on how to flash files with Odin. If you can't figure out how to update, it is more likely that you'll end up bricking your phone than flashing it properly. In the end, if you can figure out how to flash it yourself, you'll learn invaluable information that could save you from future headaches or get you out of a jam.
Only odin .tar files there should only be one for dl09. the kernal and radio get flashed thru cwm hope this helps.

By the way there really isnt any themes for dl09. You can use dj05 themes if you flash theme fix for dl09 directly after flashing the dj05 theme.

Question is HOW did you 'get it'?
What is your current ROM and how did you get/install that?
I got the modem from the tri force rom, i was on a mf9 stock rom, it got changed to mk2. My current rom is slim bean 4.3 2.2 final, and i got it from the official site
Try going to a stock MK2 ROM to see if that fixes your issue.

You could not have gotten the modem from a ROM. It is not included in any of them. If you are flashing some 4.3 ROMs without using Odin to update the modem, you could run into issues.

Honestly, i tried using odin to update my modem but everytime it'd fail when i tried, so i gave up, but when i downloaded the tri force rom that's based on mk2 for some odd reason it said my baseband was now mk2, so i thought it did it automatically, but now no matter what rom i go to, whether it be jelly bean or kitkat based ones the phone apk lags, freezes up, and messes up everytime

^Try this^ this is by far your best chance!
And what frostedunit said is true also. Modems must be flashed via Odin in download mode.
now my issue is wifi not working ;( i'm on the rom "stock(ish) v01"

You must be on the MK2 modem for Wifi to work on that ROM. Redownload the modem .tar from Unknownforce's thread in development and Odin it in. Sometimes it takes a few tries for it to stick. Just make sure to run Odin as administrator and put the modem .tar in the phone slot.
