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.

Ok. I am normally not an idiot, but while on dk28 can I flash an eclair rom and be back on eclair or will I have to use odin? I am going back to di18 and have odined to dk28 and have the dk28 modem just to clarify.
Oh. And rfs.

Yes i believe you have to odin back to DI18 then re root before you flash back a DI18 rom
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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
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.

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

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.

Right now, I have a rooted Epic with DK28 on it. I want to upgrade to either EC05 or maybe a gingerbread ROM. I've read through this site, watched videos posted by qbking77 and I think I have confused myself...
I think I can Odin from DK28 to EC05 but that will wipe all the data off my phone and I will need to reroot it? Then, if I root it again, I can restore stuff using Titanium Backup?
I have read stuff about going back to DI18, and then upgrading to EC05. Is there an advantage to this method?
And as far as I can tell, I can not go directly from DK28 to a gingerbread ROM?
There is no advantage to going to DI18 then upgrading to EC05.
The best method for you would be to use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings, using ODIN to install a prerooted copy of EC05 then using titanium backup to re-install all your apps and data.
You can go straight from DK28 to a Gingerbread rom as long as you flash the modem in ODIN but I would recommend holding out for an official release if you like to have themes and custom kernels.
Thanks.
I need to root EC05 to be able to use Titanium Backup to reinstall everything, correct?
I can't read today. Where do I find a prerooted copy of EC05?
I believe this one is it
http://k0nane.info/rom/SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar
If not it is pretty easy to just re-root it.
Thanks
Once I have EC05, I can install custom ROMs, right?
You didn't need EC05 to flash custom roms, just the EC05 modem and a compatible clockworkmod (since you were still on DK28 I'm assuming you're on an outdated version of clockwork too).
You could always Odin in the EF02 leak and have Gingerbread in one step. Then root and restore your data from Titanium.
Here is the thread for a prerooted EF02 leak ROM:

Prolly. I really have no idea. After spending some time messing around when I got DK28 and thinking I nearly broke my phone, I decided to just leave it alone for awhile. But now I am bored and want to mess with things again

This is me a month ago All I have to say is thanks to qbking77 I was able to properly upgrade my phone to EC05 and flash SyndicateROM 1.2. I believe he has a video for each of the steps you need to take (odin to ec05, root, flash, install/update cwm then flash desired rom and, if needed, kernel). I followed his tutorials exactly and have a faster, more responsive phone and aquired it with little risk. Big thx to XDA for the info, ACS for the ROM and qbking77 for helping a noob out ^ -^
