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.
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.

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.

Did you attempt the manual update zip via flashing it in CWM?
Did you flash a custom GB based ROM?
Thanks.

i have to be at thanskgiving an need my phone for driections now can u juyst tell me how to back to stock quick! like real quick! i cant get the com light to show up on odin!
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.

MY PROBLEM IS THat i cant even get it to show up on odin!
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.
Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks

You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol
Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?
Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone
Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.
