That wouldn't be an update .zip...
I'm not sure if you're confused or not but DI18 is Eclair.

DG17 to DI18

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?

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.

Anyone have "Unroot" .TAR 4 EC05?

Used odin 1.6 was a lot faster then 1.3, restored all the way to Froyo stock, until I open apps and "superuser app" still looking at me? Lol
I overlooked what was sent to me
But its good to have when u really wanna clean out all what roms, non wiped, left overs from all the flashing.
Anyone have the OG .TAR non rooted pls shoot it through, but for now will keep searching.

It comes with Odin..... if you accidentally deleted it I would say just redownload Odin....
I'm uploading a Stock EC05 right now. (The entire TAR, 100% stock untouched.)
I'll post once uploading finishes (pretty soon).

Sory Duce, this one was a rooted one.lol but the music player that came with was nice! Which Rom was that? With the circular cd view? And when pulled down its a rotary menu, really cool, will post it up in couple mins when I get back to the pad..

I'm confused, did my .tar work? I'm pretty sure I've flashed that numerous times and it being a fresh installation of EC05.
You can find stock EC05 in ACS's thread for EB13.

[Q] Odin Won't Work?...

Hey guys,
So, I ran EH06, and liked it, but I prefer EC05 (more stable). I tried to Odin back, followed the instructions, but for some strange reason the phone is stuck on Gingerbread. Any suggestions/explanations?..
What are the errors/where does Odin stop, what are you trying to flash, what file name?

No errors. Everything's cool when I Odin, everything says "successful", everything goes according to plan. And when the phone reboots, I get back to stock, but still on Gingerbread with the EH06 modem.

Just trying to go back to stock EC05 (planning to go to viperrom AFTER going back to stock). I used the files provided by qbking to do so, and it worked once before. But that was when I was on EG22. EH06 seems different...

You must have flashed a tar that did not have the EC05 modem in it. You could get the stock tar here:

That's a little freaky. Go to the 2nd post of that thread and use Heimdall and you can just do the modem.bin from the EC05 tar or anywhere else you can get it from.

Wait -- I just wanna be sure I got this right. I've been doing this for a few months now, so I THINK I sorta know what I'm doing, but I just wanna check to be sure.
So right now, I've got a firmware version of 2.3.4, a baseband version of EH06, and a build number of GINGERBREA.EH06. I CAN change the baseband to EB13, but when I do that the firmware and build number do not change.
Just to be sure, is there something I might have forgotten? I followed the directions, but I just wanna be sure.
And you didn't think to nand backup before going to eh06? Tsk tsk tsk.

See, that's the funny part: I DID make nand backup. And I tried to restore but it wouldn't let me. It kept saying "aborted".
Hm... negatory md5 match?

....What's that?
Nand backup in CWM creates an MD5 checksum. If it was in any way corrupt,or incomplete, you could experience a succesful restore with issues. Or an unsucessful restore all-together.
.....So does this mea there's no hope for me then?
Not quite, if someone was willing to share their nand backup with you, you could always put that inside the clockworkmod folder found on your sd card and try that.

Then you are only Odining the modem which is the baseband. If you restore a nand backup from 3.1.0.1 it will put your kernel and ROM back on. If you want to be on EB13 or EC05 then you will need to flash a ROM for that or after Odining a stock tar and rooting do only Restore Advanced Data from a nand.
Also if you are getting MD5 mismatches there is a thread for trying to repair those.

Noob question about removing a rom, and returning to stock ei22.

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.

EI22 Question, Help.

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue as me with EI22... I have had it twice now and eventually the 2g just goes away, wont connect and then i lose the signal completely... I have odined back to EC05 and it works good. I just upgraded to ACS ICS 5.5 from v2 of ACS.. I have noticed that signal seems weaker with EC05, wanted to go back to EI22 but didnt want to encounter the same issue...
anyone else have this? any ideas or help?
Thanks!

try installing a different kernel, than update your "prl" and "profile"... then reboot your phone. see what happens. a really good kernel that i recommend is the shadowkernel

im on samuri_gen 1.2 kernel now.. i thought that was a good one...
well it's suppose to be, but if your having problems with signal and speed, perhaps for kicks or trial and error, you should try a different kernel, just to see what happens. maybe better results, maybe not. only one way to find out.
I'm certain signal has nothing to do with the kernel try flashing other modems on ei22. I that sometimes others phones like other versions of modems ec05 and ei22 and not he only ones. Just the official "stable" but other are still usable. As for speed yes the kernel has to do with. Also try going back to ec05 not updating to ei22 but rooting and flashing a ei22 rom and flash the delta zip modemEc05toEi22.zip

If their phone wasn't rooted yet how did you get clockworkmod on? Odin? You can't flash with stock recovery.

no, their phone is not rooted "yet", but i booted into "stock" recovery and just hit install update zip. oohh, i think i know what happened. i didn't click on the file name and rename it to update.zip... thats why it probably failed. wow, how did i miss that.

You cannot do that. Only Samsung or Sprint signed zips can be done as an update.zip. So it would have to be renamed and ssigned or it will fail. He needs to root first and that is easy on EC05.

It is a delta script bulit to change your modem to the ei22 since there is not an official tar for ei22 modems. And it could help you because I know some people have issues with signal when they update rather than take the path of just flashing an ei22 rom and updating there modem thru the modem.zip and ill upload you it in a minute.

The only way to get the ei22 modem is to either accept the ota update to ei22 gb or to root and flash the ec05toei22.zip on a rooted phone... I think I still have the delta file somewhere I will post here when I find it...
