@chichu_9, that file is a .rar for Odin I think. I'm running Linux (Ubuntu Lucid) so can't use Odin nor Kies (I don't have access to MS Windows). I tried installing Heimdall, but it requires a .pit file, and the JI6 rar file from the link you provided doesn't have one (it does have a DLL, what is that for?). Is there another JI6 that does have the .pit file? Is there a way to flash with adb instead?
Or is there a JI6 ROM that can be flashed from Clockwork ROM Manager? I'm new to this and have a stock phone that somehow hasn't gotten the over the air update since I got the phone in August. I have rooted the phone (z4root) and made a Nandroid backup and a Titanium Backup, and my phone doesn't appear to be hardware-locked (I can go into download mode). I've been reading xda for hours and can't figure this out. Any advice?

Pretty certain the development section bible has a link to a flashable version.

@s15274n, thanks for the quick reply! I may have missed it, but I checked the bible before posting and just checked again, and all I found was this:
*(ROM)JI6 OTA deodexed with stock JI6 kernel and modem --s0niqu3***new(10/24/10)***
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808830
^The .zip ROM was removed, causing problems for people.
and the odin .tar.
I also searched through the forum and didn't find it, but like I said, I'm new so maybe I missed it? Maybe I'll just skip it though and just dive in all the way and flash a 2.2 ROM like Master's Axura Final coming out in the next few days.

Apologies, thought there was a flashable zip there.
You will not be disappointed with axura. Just hope Master keeps developing for the Vibrant (he got a my touch I here).

[Deleted!] oopps sorry misread the OP.. nvm
i was saying check TeamWhiskey Downloads for flashable JI6 but that's only the modem

This work?

Is there a system dump for JI6 around?

@Moped_Ryder, the zip you linked to contains Odin, which I can't use (no MS Windows) and contains the same JI6 tar as above, but also includes the 512.pit file. I tried to flash via Heimdall by typing this (I untarred all the files to a subdirectory of Heimdall called T959UVJI6):
heimdall flash --pit T959UVJI6/512.pit --factoryfs T959UVJI6/factoryfs.rfs --cache T959UVJI6/cache.rfs --kernel T959UVJI6/zImage --modem T959UVJI6/modem.bin
But I got this error message:
Local and device PIT files don't match. Functionality for this is yet to be implemented.Ending session...
So no JI6 for me. Thanks for all the help, but I think I'll just go directly to Axura once Final (2.0.6) is released to the general public so don't worry about troubleshooting this further.

[Q] DK28 to KB13

OK, so I have the DK28 and I'm not rooted. I downloaded the KB13 and tried to flash it, but it doesn't work. I suspect it is because I'm on DK28. Question is, will there be a way to flash KB13 at some point for those of us who flashed DK28?

I think you mean EB13 and yes you just have to wait a few days...or odin to DI18 if you want to have it now....

1. u shud redownload eb13 ..not kb13.. apparently samsung goofed up and uploaded something weird...
2. u ll have to odin back to di18 and then flash eb13 on top.. or as some others are ssaying...just using samsungs tool and flash eb13...should work I suppose

The first thing Samsung put out was called KB13 and was acutally an EB01 build. They quickly pulled that and replaced it with the right EB13 file. OP got in on the first batch of downloads and shouldn't flash that update.
You can either go download the new update, or install root and recovery, then flash this.

cant get the el22 update

i dont know what to do anymore. i have tried the ota over 10 times and it dl's then stops half way through the installation. i was on a ec05plus tar so i odined back to the ec05 with the same thing happening. . i have tried the manual update but when i flash that, it aborts it. what other options do i have. thanks

Use the el30 odin packages by toadlife I'm sre this is what your end result would have been right? If you need the modem there is a ei22 to el30 or an ec05 to ei22 as well hope this helps.
Odin package: http://xda.toadlife.net.nyud.net/ROMs/SPH-D700/EL30/SPH-D700_ripped_stock_EL30_ODIN.zip
Use this in odin and you'll be good to go

i still have a problem. i followed the directions perfectly. i odined acs. odined the new kernel. flashed su. went back to recovery. it was in blue letters like it should be and then tried to flash a rom and it seemed to start but then brought me back to recovery every time no matter what rom i flashed. and the only way i could even get back to use the phone was to odin acs recovery again. no matter how often i rebooted system it would bring me back to recovery until i odined. am i doing something wrong? if it helps when i was flashing it said cwm 5.0.2.7 but when i went in the first time to flash su. it showed cwm 5.0.0.0. dont know if that matters. thanks

Wow I can't believe ima about to say this don't use acs cwm. There's a sticky in android development for cwm5.0.2.7 that you can odin in I'm sure you just odined in the incorrect acs
ACS Recovery5 1.0.0.0.0 is what you were needing to flash

What rom were you flashing? If it was mtd its going to reboot your recovery and put you on mtd cwm5 which is cyan blue almost and will finish flashing...

i was flashing marcus revival. i did odin acs recovery 5.1..0.0.0. so when i flash i need to just leave it alone when it goes back into the blue lettering in recovery? how do i know when its done?

Okay odin in the cwm5 recovery ill link it make sure you got the .tar and once that's done boot into it. Wipe data cache and dalvik and flash marcusants rom it will say checking state of bml/mtd and it will reboot and put you back in and saying installing up date it will say complete and should reboot you automatically

ok sorry already have a problem. when i odined i knew i had to flash su first to be rooted but when i put it into recovery it came up in manual mode with no options but reboot apply update wipe date and wipe cache. did this happen because i had to odin acs also or odin a kernal again?

This is what is needed you odin in the recovery don't have auto reboot checked and 3 finger salute into cwm power button camera and volume down... then you'll be in cwm5 flash the el30 kernel from toadlife and then you can just flash su if you planon staying on stock if not then flash the rom you want to be on...

sounds like somebody didn't read the sticky in the dev section very well
start over. odin a stock ec05, run the root package, flash whichever modem you want (probably the latest, there's a flashable zip to go from ec05-el30), then flash the rom of your choice. easy as that.

okay it started to work as you guys sent this info but anyway heres what i have. model sph-700
firmware 2.3.5
baseband s:d700.0.55.ec05
kernel 2.6.35.7 shadow
hardware d700.0.5
im running marcus rom just flashed
is this all up to date?

yupo, looks like you're good to go!
edit: looks like u didn't update your modem, u may want to do that...

thanks thats one thing i never quite understood. do you just find one and odin it? what makes one person like one modem and not another? is it always just whatever the newest one is?

I Cannot root my EL30 Gingerbread!

I have the ACS recovery files...
I have su.zip
I have the GB kernel or whatever.
I can't root the thing.
What am I missing? I tried Odining the ACS recovery and it does not give me the new recovery menu when I do the 3 fingers...

I personally would grab the CWM 5.027 Odinable recovery and follow qbking's video here:

Yes. It is very simple. Doing it the 2 step way couldn't be easier.
1. Stock el30, Odin the kernel that allows it to boot another recovery
2. Odin cwm.
3. I flashed directly to an mtd rom and couldnt be happier.
I have owned this epic since launch and can honestly say this is the best my phone has ever ran. All around clean gb1.1.2 w no CPU control, just letting the rom do its thing and setting all of my stuff up I have never had such good battery life. Stable on cm9 also but cm9 does use more juice than your standard gb roms. Mtd "basically" just provides you more room. Very crude explanation but that's the lamens terms

I thought no one did an odinable prerooted yet for us. Toadlife's was full stock, unrooted. Easiest thing to do is Odin EL30, Odin cwm 5.027 with auto reboot unchecked. Remove from computer, pop battery in and out, 3 finger into CWM and flash a prerooted EL30 ROM or MTD ROM of choice.

What he said. If your staying with stock rom. When you go into cwm. Flash. Superuser.zip. and then you should be fine. Before on EI22 there was a file that you had to delete. But I haven't been able to locate the file since.

Odin and Heimdall won't flash odin?

So I'm going to give my continuum later for my cousin who needs a phone. But before I do that I decided to bring it back to a stock rom (EC09) So then I can give it to him. But whenever I try flashing it with Odin it stops on the modem.bin then fails. tried different cables even a new one and still fail. so then I tried Heimdall to install the modem and kept getting error -12. and from what people say it's the same error. get a new cable, change it to another port, etc. I'm running out of ideas and wan't to fix it before I give it to him. The phone turns on but without modem there can be no service and what not and that's what I need. is there a way to install the modem from root explorer, adb, or something? Thanks in advance!

Just a question, but are you using the ec09 pit file? The partitions are different I believe.

You can extract modem from odin image.
Then find a modem (radio) cwm zip like from ec03 or 07.
Replace modem in 7zip and delete any other files in radio zip.
Flash via cwm

I'll check that in a bit. And thanks roaddog for at least trying to help out.

I'm not sure if ec09 is real modem or dummy. I haven't grabbed files from my ext hd yet. But ec07 radio may work, some old schooler may know

Well gonna try to look for it. Thanks!

If I was you, I would go all the way back to the full DL17 package, then just OTA up to EC09...
I think I remember the radio being a dud in the EC09 package, so to be safe just do that, or flash the full EG04 package...

Tried it with no success.. Always stops at the modem.bin and it stays frozen or it fails. Gonna give it a few more tries later just in case.

Hmm, what is the name of the package you are using?

I tried using DL17 stock, EC09 stock, and EG04 leaked stock. Those are the only packages I've been trying to get the continuum to work. Same error.

I just flashed eg04 stock via odin and it hung on modem also.
I had efs clear and botloader update and repartition checked.
Tried twice (close odin, unplug, pull battery, put back in dl mode)
After 3 mins of hanging closed odin and plulled battery and booted in eg04.
Says I have radio.
Did u get urs up?
