Will the Samsung EB13 Flashing tool Remove CW3 / EXT4 / and Custom Roms? Or are you better off running ODIN to get back to stock?
Thank you!
It's just like Odin but it holds your hand and does everything automatically. Wipes everything and does a fresh install I believe. I was rooted with cwm 3 and running bonsai 2.01. The sammy utility put me on stock eb13.
Using the samsung tool will leave your phone like you just turned it on for the first time out of the box.

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 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.

Thanks.

Redownload, wipe, and try again.

If you followed the instructions right, you've already hosed what was previously your "stock" rom.
First, did you make a backup?
If so, wipe and restore.
If now, flash a new rom.
Did you already update the modem?
If its still on EC05, flash an EC05 rom.

You don't Odin to flash a rom, so that's beside the point right now.
Don't get flustered here, I am trying to help.

Dude, just restore your nand backup.
If you want to go back to stock and become unrooted, go to youtube and search samsung epic return to stock. Watch qbkings video. You will need the ec05.tar file, samsung drivers for your pc, and one additional file that should come with odin, and a valium. There are turtorials everywhere around here, but for step by step "easy" instructions, use qbkings video.

Two options if odin doesn't see your phone. Try a different cable I bought mine at staples 15 dollars for a better 6 foot cable. Second option is remove the battery hold down 1 and power insert battery. That should get you back in. Then odin to stock ec05. Find a rom of your choice like randomrom thunderhawk. After it installs use the ec05 to ei22 modem flash. That is the method that I upgraded worked like a champ.
If odin doesn't see your phone, try disabling your antivirus and firewall that was causing me problems a while back with Norton I think.
Having the hardest time flashing this. Was running it all weekend till yesterday when I went to update profile (blazer gb). I went flash back and it will not flash I hang up on the sgs 2 screen. I've gone back to stock and re-root did everything I could right and still no go.
Went and did sfhubs el26 odin (which did put the triangle on the start up) and it wouldn't let me complete th flash due to it being the euro model. I don't know. Love this Rom super nice GREAT battery.
Wondering how to get this fixed on my end.

What do you mean euro model? Can you list out the steps you took?

Hopefully you haven't messed your phone up too bad already.
Try getting into download mode and then use odin one click back to el29 and start over!
Sorry I ment the international version (gt9100) not the euro version. My phone works I have blend on here atm.
Alright so while I was on Aokp I
1. Flashed el26 with moblie odin.
2. Backed up Rom
3. Flashed calks wipe all
4. Flashed blazer 4.1
5. Updated profile.
6. Flashed el26 with mobile odin
Alright so here is where I was rushing.
7. Restored backup
8. Flashed fe16 repack
9. Boot.
So hindsight being the birch lover it is I should have done some wiping before step 7 and after step 7.
ROM wouldn't boot. I was able to get to download mode no and flashed stock el29 with pc odin. Phone still wouldn't boot. At this point I'm kinda getting worried I did something really dumb. Went into the stock recovery and wiped data and cache. Stock booted fine after that.
I root using one click and got my mobile odin on. Flashed el26 wiped everything tried to restore and wiped again and flashed kernel and wiped again. Wouldn't boot.
Did all the above again using pc odin el26 which gave me the triangle on boot up screen no bigger to me just butt ugly. Went into el26 recovery and tried to flash Rom fresh and still would go past boot up screen.
So I'm back on gb wanting silk back on my phone. Just don't know what to do next.

i think step 8 is where you messed up. I believe thats a TouchWiz only kernel. You need an AOKP specific kernel to boot AOKP
Yeah I'm pretty sure that you're right. Got home where I had access to normal Odin just in case. Did everything twice. Manual wiped twice, calks format script twice flashed twice wiped again twice and bada Bing pow. Dopest from I've ever use is back up and rolling.
One question I have is how do I restore a back up. I understand it can only be done with el26 kernel but I guess I'm not clear on the process I guess.

Are you really flashing the roms from here then? The I-9100 is a GSM phone and quite frankly the actual I-9100 forum has a much bigger variety and those are the roms you should be using. Not any of the ones from here since this is a CDMA device.

quite simple actually. Just odin/mobile odin the el26 kernel/recovery. Restore the backup, then flash an AOKP kernel. reboot and you're set.
In an el26 recovery, flash aokp twice. The first flash doesn't do it all the way. Then flash gapps.

No I have an epic 4g touch, but when you flash el26 kernel threw PC Odin it gives you the yellow triangle. I bought a USB jig on amazon for like five bucks that will be here on Friday and it will get rid of that stupid yellow triangle and reset my Odin count too.

ok i have a sprint 4gET flashed to cricket.. running Team Acheron's "Touched by an S4" (Awesome) after checking out some of the new roms coming out I decided to flash a few and check out the new cm10.1.3 and the jb4.3 systems... I am familiar with the procedures for flashing jb, ics roms and follow op directions to a t everytime..but today after losing data cable connections twice on an odin install my phone would not respond... after leaving batt and sd card out of phone for 2 hrs I was finally able to set phone into download mode.. flashed directboot recovery by cwm wich cot me to my sd card to reflash my trusty touched by an s4 rom but now when it boots up my samsung screen displays a totally diffferent model.. it says Samsung Sll GT-i9100 but in settings it still says sph-d710... how on earth did that happen and how can i change it...
Install and run triangle away from chainfire paid on play store or free from xda. It's what happens when you use Odin to install non official firmware

Not true in all cases^^
some of the direct boot Odin & Mobile Odin files (EL26 or EL29) were originally made from the international phone source and when the kernal is flashed it will reflect the i9100 on boot up. This is normal if your phone is working properly. You can also one-click back to EL26 stock to get rid of it, but then you have to go through the process of re-formatting the partition.
If it is working fine, I would use Triangle Away. If not, you will probably need to start over with a one-click exe.
