My friend has an Epic that has Android 2.2 EB13 and he doesnt like it. I was wondering if it was possible for him to downgrade to EB13 using odin? or if there is another way like maybe through the stock recovery?
yea definitely should be able to with odin bro just make sure you have drivers and everything else set up properly

Hello I'm new to the epic 4g and now that I have it rooted and ready to rom, I've read on different threads where people talk about being either "ext4" or rfs. What does this mean? I'm afraid that ill do something wrong and mess up my phone. if somebody could explain to me the difference it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

EXT4 and RFS are file systems. Just about every Epic rom other than Stock uses EXT4 because it's the faster file system.
Oh ok that makes sense. So then how would I go about converting to ext4? Would I need to do this before I flash a rom?

Installing clockworkmod 3.0 automatically puts you on the EXT4 file system.
Sweet. Thanks man one more question, what's up with all the ECO5, EB13 stuff and something about updating your modem?

EC05 is the most recent update. You have to update your modem through ODIN in order to have data/ service work correctly.
Thanks for the info

You don't HAVE to use Odin to update the modem, there is a flashable zip around here somewhere also. Plus if your comming from stock you should be able to update to stock ec05 OTA (over the air) if your not already on it. To check what build/modem your already on go to settings-about phone-baseband version
I just checked and I'm on ECO5 right now

What's what? Lol ROM or odin
Is your phone rooted? If not take it to Sprint. If it is you need to go to the development section and learn what Odin is and does. Odin gives you the ability to overwrite the ROM and Modem. A fresh install if you will. Read the sticky on how to restore your phone from brick.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
so after the fresh install then waht will it do? so sprint will root it? Sorry guys im not a big computer guy but thank you for the help!
Do not let Sprint know that your trying to root your phone lol download the newest one click root from the sticky in the development section and read the instruction carefully before doing anything
EDIT: newest one click being cwm 3.1.0.1
Is there anyway to "odin" my phone without using odin?
I want to it to b straight out of the box but. My phone won't connect to my computer so I can't use odin or any program that requires usb connection
Other than th regular " factory reset" button in my phone is there any app or anything I can use to getmy phone back to stock?

No. But there are ROMs you can flash that are very close to stock. Search for ReRFS ROM in development.

Nope. ONLY way (unless someone can prove me, and the "higher ups" wrong) to change your modem is odin or wait for an official release.

Yup that's what I thought...
And if I had a backup that was from a ec05 modem and I restored it would it change the baseband version for me?
Just posted in your other post...but no. Modems are an entirely different beast then roms or kernels

well thanks
and its cuz im having a problem and its really driving me crazy i cant get my phone to connect to my computer ive tried everything possible even bought a new usb but still no
now im up to the last two reasons which r either something in my phone is broken or the first reason i think its not working was cuz of eh17 i first encountered this problem when i flashed the eh17 modem thru odin
ok so i was gonna delete this.. but im getting really confused..
i got the full el30 update
rooted
flashed the el30 kernel
and everything was working perfect
later i tried flashing thunderhawk
it finished installing pretty quick
and then i got stuck at boot up
flashed cm7 and got an "installation aborted" msg
restored a backup of thunderhawk on ei22
and it worked and i had the el30 modem
so i went to cwm and factory reseted it cuz i ddint want the whole settings of it all and my desktop and apps and stuff
then i got stuck at bootup again
i restored my backup again and its working now i have thunderhawk on the el30 modem
my question is basically do any roms work on el30??
why does my back up restore and work but when i flash a new rom it doesnt work???
Maybe bad downloads? Did you try Factory Data Reset and then immediately flash the ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
well this file has been on my sd card since I first flashed thunderhawk so it should work but it is a possibility..
Ill try again
But ei22 roms do work on el30 right??

If you're talking about the modem then yes they defenitely do... if you're talking the kernel then I wouldn't have a clue... never tried to mix and match a kernel and rom...

Yes... but you won't be on 2.3.6 anymore... and thunderhawk will contain the ei22 kernel also... so yes that will work...

Yeah but once you do that and install your ROM, you are completely EI22 again except for the modem. For that you can restore your backup and just flash the modem delta.

When it does just let it install. When it fails just pull the battery and boot. No more notifications (thanks Flastnoles11).

is there a rom that you can root right from stock el30? i thought marcus rom did this but i even tried flashing su.zip first but still doesnt work, thanks
How do you root a ROM? Why not just do what everyone else does. Root your phone and flash a ROM and be done with it. Pretty simple.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
ROMs are prerooted in Development. Odin stock is not.
