So i upgraded my phone with the leaked froyo update.zip and everything went well except for the gps. So i followed the how to "unbrick/bring back to stock" thread so i could downgrade my phone to the di18 firmware. I used odin, the s1_odin20100512.pit and the d700.zimage.stock file. I did not want to wipe out everything, i just wanted to downgrade the kernal back to stock.
When i tried flashing on odin, it failed. now when i try turning on my i get the phone icon with the exclamation mark in the triangle. I wanted to call my girlfriend after flashing my phone but now i cant . Please help me save my phone!
EDIT: Okay not bricked, but it wont load up android

Put the phone in download mode again and run odin again.

Thanks for the tip!
Your gonna want to flash the di18.tar in "pda" with odin and only reboot checked, no pit needed. That gets the di18 firmware back, and the only way.. kernel has nothing to do with it..

I am about to do this too.. and dont want to wipe the data only get back to di18 to get the gps working.. so in that case:
1. I dont need pit file at all
2. which .tar to choose? not the255 mb file?
Mine failed the first time to. I followed the directions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
I tried it a second time but used the victory pit that came with odin 1.61 and it worked. I think in the instructions their using an older version of odin.
I'm not in anyway an expert and you may not even need to use a pit like another poster said. It worked for me though. When I got done the phone rebooted and it showed it having the eclair d07 build from there it updated itself to dI18.
I believe you still need the pit file. If you are going back to stock DI18, than use this:
Stock Files
The one you were trying to use was the kernel I believe.
Here is the pit file you need:
pit file
I have flashed back to stock about 14 times and I have used these two files successfully every time.
yeah ive done it te same wasy that swanysto has done it also a lot. it always works for me to. i know some sa you don't need the pit unless just doing a kernel but i always use it. just my 2 cents
pull the SD card out before you go into download mode (not just pull it out, make sure to push down and let it pop up to remove it).
i have the froyo 2.2.1 on my epic 4g, i discovered my gps doesnt work so im trying to find this file sph-D700-D18-8gb-REL-tar.md5 for Odin so my epic goes back 2 stock, i cant find it anywhere in tar fomat, i need to download this to make my epic stock again so i can have my GPS working. someone please help me find this file, it has to be in TAR for mat and size is 255 mb.
There is not a DI18 rel.tar from what I have gathered.
But a quick search of the dev threads with "Return to stock" turned up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
Load that and let it update OTA on its own to DI18.
according to this video there is. & the links in that video are pulling up a 404 error so the site doesnt exist so that was a dead end.

The information you need is in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
Use the DI18 update link to get the file. (The release is DI18, not D18)
To be sure, here is the link to the file. http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV extracted from the thread above.
I used this link earlier this month, so it should still work.

thank you for getting back to me. I already know how to do that and will give that a try. I still want to return my phone to complete stock. I installed a custom recovery but never flashed any custom rom's. I followed a guide on how to get it back to stock and this is how i got into this sticky situation. I used odin to upload a pit file and then a md5 file. and since that my phone is stuck at screen of a warning sign saying that there is a non stock os installed and to take it to att.

Yes, you'll download a .rar file, use 7-zip to extract a .tar.md5 file. Use that in PDA in Odin

Read this to go to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621279 Read that. It's how i always return to stock mk2. I use the 4 files one. Just unzip it and plug the files into Odin 3.09. Put phone into download mode and hit start on Odin. You do want to go to 4.3 stock right? Cause that's as far back as you can go.

Thanks a ton. I effectively want my phone back as it came from the factory. I'm fine with 4.3 as long as I can update it after the restore to the latest stock firmware (via Kies or OTA). Also, would this remove SafeStrap? Thanks again...
Yes it will remove Safestrap. Your phone will be completely stock. Well, back to MK2. Have to set the whole thing up again too. Pain in the butt but oh well. LOL. If you need more help just ask. good luck.

No problem at all. We all need a little help sometimes. Sunday project? It will only take you about 1/2 hour at the most. And that's if you take a nap while odin is doing its thing. LOL. Again, good luck.

Why can't I restore to 4.3 then update via Kies/ OTA to KitKat? Or are you just giving me the option to restore to KitKat right away?

He's just trying to give you another option if your planning on updrading to nb1, nc1 anyway. Personally, I do it the way I told you. I've gotten fairly good at flashing roms and stuff, but not quite comfortable with some things, yet. I, personally, would just downgrade to mk2 and then kies/ota the rest of the way. You can always reroot with towelroot on nc1 if you want to root again. Especially if your not comfortable doing it the way Ted told you. Just like he told you though. Make sure you have all the files downloaded, drivers on your pc installed first, usb debuggin checked in developer otions though. I've never had a problem downgrading to mk2 with his post. Just follow the directions in post 2 of the link I gave you and you should be good. He has odin 1.85 in the instructions, but I use the latest odin 3.09 and put AP into PDA slot in odin. The rest in the corresponding slots. His files and instructions have helped save me from a lot of screw ups.
Thanks!!

Just want to thank you again. I finally had some time to return back to stock.
Hey guys,
So I tried to take my phone to the Samsung experience store today to try and fix my previous issues. the person tried to reset the firmware on it because I am not getting a baseband or IMEI at all (shows baseband unkwon and IMEI null/null). I may have caused this myself by the way when i was playing around with different firmwares and did not back up EFS ever.
Anyway, Now i am stuck with this:
SGH-I337 galaxy S4
Version: 4.4.4
Build: I337UCUFNJ4
Baseband Unknown....
I am not sure what I need to do in order force IMEI back onto phone I tried rooting and playing with EFS, but the phone seems to not get rooted either via motochopper.
WHAT CAN I DO NEXT ?!? Need some if your brilliant minds here please.
By the way, the person at Samsung checked by IMEI to make sure it wasnt blacklisted or reported stolen or anything so that is not the issue.

Thank you for this, I will try it.
But after I root, what would be the next step?

Hey, sorry for the long delay. So i was finally able to flash the phone as you told me, and I also rooted it (I hope...). So now I still am having an issue because baseband still says unknown and IMEI null/null. What would be the next step to fix this? I have no idea

Okay well everyone else is saying never flash a pit file but I ran into the same problem and I actually had to flash a pit file BUT you're only able to fo it on MK2 SO FIRST odin back to a fresh install of NB1 uncheck the reboot option in odin after the firmware finishes and says reset on odin unplug youre cable remove youre battery and stick it back in then use the VOLUME UP HOME AND POWER KEY you will see an android with a progress bar GET READY after its done the phone will reboot hold up the volume and home it will reboot into android recovery and then use you're volume keys scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition after that hit reboot system now we're done with that part this is the second part PART 2 after the phone fully boots up and youre at the welcome screen power off the device go into download mode volume down home and power this is where we are able to DOWNGRADE TO MK2 ITS ONLY POSSIBLE FROM NB1 TO MK2 ONLY HEAD OVER TO THIS THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 and download two files JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit that's going to be youre pit file and then you need the MK2 firmware AP_I337UCUEMK2_.tar.md5 I'll give you some time to download them it takes a little time........Okay we ready? Good now load up the two files the pit file in the PIT and the Firmware in the AP NOTE you will see now the repartition box checked LEAVE IT its because of the pit file that its checked! Now we are going to uncheck the auto reboot like we did earlier after Odin says phone reset unplug cable remove battery stick it back in and same thing volume up home power then wipe data factory reset and cache partition then reboot phone should boot up to MK2 now the only thing thats not working at this point is the wifi dont worry about that go through the setup process dont worry about any of youre information we dont care at this point go into settings and check and see if all of youre stuff is back baseband imei everything if it is then great thats what we wanted now we can go back into download mode and use odin and upgrade back to NB1 WE'RE DONE! Congratulations everything should be working properly you're now on NB1 you can take OTA to NJ4 if you want or stay where you're at install safestrap and a custom rom I hope all has went well for you and everything works out!

I will def. try this! For the first part, I am already on NB1, so I need to do it again? OR can I skip straight to step 2? (P.s, when i flashed NB1, I didnt follow this whole procedure ( flashing, then resetting etc.) i simply jus flashed it as per Odin.
You can try as-is
You may not have to re-do it, you could probably go ahead and just skip to part two I just always recommend doing a clean flash but if it doesn't work then just simply go back and try that
