Hello!
I've tried to flash 2.2 on my Epic 4. Everything did like it was supposed to be only problem is I didn't like it. So, I'm doing the restore from my previous Backup.
Do I need to wipe it before restore? I'm asking because I did once without wipe and it is not booting. Doing some sound and showing me Samsung.com. Nothing else.
Please, help me guys.
Thank you!
I think you are ging to have to odin back to 2.1 then restore. I could be wrong.

You are correct. Nandroid does not back up your kernal or modem so you will have to odin both of those. Here is a link to the instructions:
Flash to stock
Thank you! You are a savior.

Np man, I had the same thing happen to me first time I tried flashing dk28. Tried booting a backup and got to just where you are hehe
One more question.
If I want to flash just modem (dk28 as example) and then flash some custom rom what files I need for it? I mean just for a DK28 modem? Can you give me right link for it? There is so many and I got lost.
once you have the dk28 modem flashed you can flash any froyo rom you want. just make sure it isn't a rom with ext4 unless you do that whole process.
Trying to install viper rom on my epic and when I'm in clockwork recovery mode it gives me this error:
E:/ Cant open / cache/ recovery/log
What does this mean? What can i do to resolve this. I keep getting errors when I try to install the rom.
I believe you are in the wrong version of clockwork. For the latest viperRom the cwm needs to be Orange 3.0.0.5
Reroot your phone with one click and try again. It appears your phone has lost root. If that doesn't work their are posts in the viper rom thread that describe a process of going back to stock and working your way to viper rom 4.02b. Another alternative is if you haven't flashed viper rom 4.01 first you might try that.

Dont think that is the problem I cant install any ROM s right now including the stock ROM.
Reflash one click root. It will reinstall clockwork for you and that might fix your issue. If not you might have to use odin to go back to stock. The links for this stuff is in the sticky above.

Yeah you need to instal the dk28 modem first. In the epic sticky their is a version of dk28 froyo that you can flash through odin. Try that and then one click root and then instal viper rom.

Hello, I have two questions:
If the bootloader Odin file and pit file are used should repartition be checked?
Is it safe to flash over the EC07 Miunia?
Thank you

No. Repartition doesn't NEED to be checked. And I would advise flashing ec07 leaked, first

Yes. From what I've beenctold by imnuts, eb01 patches some apks that aren't outright replaced in ec09. So, assuming you dontvwindbup to revert to DL17 and get the ota, i would flash either ec07 leaked, or dl17 stock odex all in one, then flashing eb01 then ec09. That would be my personal advice. Others are more than welcome to jump in.

You can use the Odin package for everything except the modem. I'll see if I can put a modem only CWM zip together then to go from DL17 to EC09

True. My brain wasn't functioning. The odin packages have the patched and replaced files where they are supposed to be, since they were pulled from OTA updated phones.
so the odin packages do not contain the new modem?
if yes, would there be issues flashing the odin before flashing the modem?

So I've searched around both in forums and google but cannot figure this out. Is there a way to determine which modem is currently running on the phone? I know I never flashed the EC09 modem but not sure if I'm on the DL17 either, and I've gone through all the phone properties I can think of with no luck.

alright well I'm confused then. My baseband version I'm running the EC09, but the odin packages don't contain that modem? Did flashing the odin only change what displays there and not actually flash the modem?

Not really. The ec09 modem seems to have slightly better tability, over ec07 or dl17, but no, it wont make your phone unusable. Question. Is there any reason you are reluctant to flash the modem?

Not at all. Just have to go back through CWM flashing and delete songs off sdcard to put zip file on. I noticed the DL17 modem is a md5 file, flash through odin in the PDA section?

Yes. For clarity, It's the EC09 modem. I know you know that, but some poor soul is gonna stumble in here and leave with his brain bleeding. But, yes it is an ODIN flash in PDA. No repartition (obviously) no PIT and reboot and f. reset are whatever.

No one has gotten their hands on the EC09 modem file yet, and it can't be dumped or pulled from the phone.

Install the ota again. I know it sounds stupid but sometimes it takes twice to update properly. You will sometimes get only a partial update. You can get the update zip from general.

Check your about phone to make sure your baseband is MDL as well. I had to take the ota 3 times before MDL baseband stuck. The build number was MDL, the baseband was MDC, and wifi was borked. If that's your case, Odin back to MDC, then take the OTA again. Check to be sure both build and baseband are MDL

No problem. Ok good. Then head to the dev section and look for my stock MDL thread. Download the Odexed no data wipe rom. Download the stock firmware complete. Copy those to your phone. Also copy a custom recovery zip on your phone if you don't have one on there already. Go to recovery. Install the firmware. Don't reboot. Install the Rom. Don't reboot. Install custom recovery again. Reboot.

Hmm that is odd. And I noticed you said the wifi was stating it estimates several hours to download. So is it downloading? Usually wifi is either working or dead completely. Since your system is also MDL just do the firmware and custom recovery first to see if that fixes it. If not then try the Rom.
Edit: ok I just saw your other post about your computer being slow and the phone taking forever. Sounds to me like you are having internet problems and that the phone is working. Since your pc is slow that means your phone will be slow also if it is using the same internet. And 3G might not be much better depending on your location and the Sprint network there.

Hopefully you are not in the same boat I am in. Don't try to Odin another Rom it will not work. Try to Odin CF Auto root. That worked for me until my phone stopped responding to anything. If that doesn't work you are with me which is in purgatory. No way out at this present time.

Yeah that is what I was saying. Don't try to Odin any other stock roms it won't work. Once you are on MJA you are locked out of Odin with the exception of recovery. Your only option to get back to stock is to wait for a working zip that you can install via recovery.
