Ok, so I have a MAJOR problem. Before the eb13 froyo update came out, I tried to get dk28 on my phone. As of current, my baseband is dk28 but my build is di18. I got my wifes epic to the eb13 from the manual update cause I didn't screw with her phone. But because my baseband is still dk28, I'm guessing atleast, I can't run the manual update to eb13 to complete. I don't remember what I did or I could just retrace my steps and go back to di18 for my epic. Could someone help me get back to di18 for my epic, the easiest way please, I'm kinda an idiot. Id really like to get the official froyo on my phone. Thank you in advance!

Don't bother Odining to DI18, just use the EB13 odin and you will start fresh with the Froyo build

be careful from odining the new modem alone and make sure you have a nandroid backup, i ran into system uid is unstable and got unlimited force closes, then nandroid restored then i had the new modem.
My computer has ton of errors so Odin'ng won't work and my root uninstaller doesn't work & I'm trying to take my phone back to sprint. Is there any file a can download & flash (using clockwork v2.5.5) to get back to stock EB13 or even DI18. I can seem to find one that isn't pre-rooted or requires Odin... thanks in advance!

I am running eb13 with genocide kernal how do I get to the new ec05 and should I? Also is there a way to get the new sprint ID on eb13?

If you want the EC05 update you will need to Odin back to DI18 and it should begin to download from there OTA. You can also use Odin to push EC05 to your phone. But in order to do this you will need to Odin back to DI18 first then odin again to EC05. I haven't seen Sprint ID available for EB13. I went ahead and went back to DI18 and then Odined to EC05 just to check it out and Sprint ID was on there but i wasn't really impressed. It had a few kind of cool features, but that is just my opinion.
Hope that helps.

I'm still on EB13 too. Not because I can't go to EC05, but I'm waiting for the ACS ROM for EC05. I want EXT4 and in order to do that, you have to flash directly to a ROM after it formats EXT4 and CWM3. Once their ROM is available, I'll be making the switch. Until then, no reason to go anywhere IMHO.
I did my research in and out of XDA w/o finding specific method on how to go about doing this :s From what I've read in these forums I found 2 different files from k0nane that, according to the people that posted them and my limited knowledge of this, lead me to believe that it will do what it is I am asking. One is "k0nane.info/rom/SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar", and the other is "k0nane.info/rom/acs-ec05-modem.tar". (being a new user I can't directly link to the files)
I would like to know which one is the one I need to make my phone EC05. Now that summer is here I'm interested in installing ROMs, themes and trying to brick my phone ^ .^ Thanks in advance
PS: If it isn't too much of a bother, where in Odin does one place a .tar file? I've only used Odin a few times a while back; last time to put DK28 on my Epic :3
You used the first one you named. You put it in the PDA slot in Odin.
The second one is only the EC05 modem, which is pretty much the "radio firmware".
Just know that Odin does wipe out everything on your phone except your SD card.
Is there a way to upgrade from DK28 without wiping your phone?
My phone is rooted and I have CWM v2.5.1.
I have Titanium installed.
Thanks.
Search the forums for user qbking77 I think is his nick he has excellent videos on how to use odin and other stuff. I have links in my sig too but not sure if my sig shows well using xda premium.

Is there a rooted version of EC05 that will work directly from DK28 without having to go back to DI18 and lose everything? Or is there a way to backup apps and restore after ODINing ?
you can backup everything with titanium. Apps, data, contacts.. everything.

Yup, just use titanium backup on a rooted phone to backup everything, Odin a prerooted EC05 tar and use titanium to restore.
Do you BONSAI?

So just to be sure....
1. Titanium backup
2. Odin to DI18
3. Upgrade to Ec05
If I have CWM 2.5.1 is it necessary to upgrade to latest version?
Is step 2 necessary or can I go directly to EC05?
Thanks again
U can get the stock ec05 tar here

Wait, now I'm confused :S Do I need to go back to stock DI18 and then I can install EC05, or can I just install it from DK28?

You can Odin from any version. It wipes your phone and puts on a new OS.

Much obliged for all the replies
Yes, thanks as well.
So after ODIN a rooted phone, root privileges will be gone? So I will have to re-root?
Yep. You have to re-root.
I'm currently on the ei22 modem. Can I just flash back to ec05? Or do I need to do something special?

If you are talking about just the modem, i believe the only way, is to use Odin to get back to the EC05 modem

Correct. You can use any modem on any build. They have to be Odin'd in.
