Ok, so Ive searched through the thousands of pages that just seem to contradict each other so I'll try and ask it here. What's the easiest way to go from a stock (rooted) DG17 Epic to a stock rooted DI18?

How can I odin back to a level that's higher than I am now? DG17 is the original release of the Epic isn't it?

Is there not an Update.zip out there to do this?
Never mind, Odin it was... Now running stock (rooted) DI18. Baby steps, now to find a good 2.2 rom.

There were update.zips somewhere to do DG17->DG27->DI07->DI18, but they seem to have been buried due to lack of use. Odin is easy enough, though.

So I have an epic, with stock rom, rooted. I do have (rom manager) cwm, but am not suuper familiar with android and its jargon (am a winmob convert). After some searching I see that because I have cwm I won't get ota. Fine, let's get stock recovery...wait... uh. Yeah. I don't have a pc, nor do I have a library card :0
I rooted using z4root, and so didn't need a pc. Now I just want to get the OTA but can't quite figure out how to do that without a PC.
Note, the xda-app search feature is rough around the edges, and I did find data with just plain scrolling, but nothing on a PC-free way to get back to stock recovery mode...
Help?
Thanks
Epic is as Epic does

If all you did was root using z4root and changed nothing else, you will be able to get the OTA.
If you have removed any stock apps, restore them.
You should be fine
Even if I have cwm?

No. You will "get" the update, but it will fail verification when you try to install. Get the deodexed di18->eb13 update that is in the wiki and flash it from clockwork.

Have you watched qbking77's videos on "How to return to stock"?
No, you haven't. You still can though, and I would suggest that. They are great vids and easy to follow along to. You can pause, stop, even rewind them to keep up
All kidding aside, check them out. It will get you where you want.

You might wanna try to flash eb13 and after you use odin to flash to eb13, connect to wifi and manually update your software via ota to ec05. Go to settings and click about phone then system updates and select update android. This should get you back on ec05. I had the same problem when i wanted to go back to ec05. But i gotta say the second time i flashed ef02 all my functions that didnt work previously now work flawlessly. Although i did redownload the ef02 file again so maybe my original one was a bad download...Good luck to you...Dont forget to update us....

still didnt work...and idk if its just my epic but every rom ive tried the battery is off really bad...it would take me a half an hour just to go up 3%...also i backed up my stock 2.2.1 tw and i tried restoring it but it wouldnt restore through clockwork(i have the purple cwm)it would just stay on the samsung bootloader and vibrate constantly. I would have to use another rom just to fix it...i just want to restore it back to stock with root but i have yet to sucessfully achieve that....would appreciate that i looked at the videos but none showed how to restore back to stock

U might want to go back as far as d107 or d118, their eclair versions but u could update back to froyo using ota updating. In your case I would start from the bottom and work my way back up.

Can't Find Sprint Stock Flash Program -again
A while back I had to flash my phone back to stock. Sprint had a program that was NOT odin. I am on holiday and the new gingerbread has seriously screwed up my phone. It does not work correctly and the battery drain is tremendous.
I have the program on my desktop pc, but not my laptop. can ANYBODY please direct me to the Non-odin way to flash the Samsung Epic back to stock? I am able to update the phone over 3g/4g after that for updates.
Thanks

Noob question about returning to stock ei22....
I just rooted, installed clockwork mod, installed set pcu... which I overclocked to 1.4 ghz, and am currently running legendary rom.
If I ever wanted to return to stock ei22 once again, must I odin back to ec05 before installing update.zip once again. By update.zip I am referring to the ei22 manual update and will I be unrooted with stock recovery?

Exactly, atleast until we have the odin for ei22.
