OK.... Well.... I was really enjoying my rom and did not want to update.... Now it is starting to mess up a bit and I am looking at updating.... I have the Truely Epic Rebirth V1.5 with the DK28 Modem.... I see forums with how to update from DI18/EB13 to EC05 but none from DK. Does anyone know how I can do that? Thanks in advance!
Grab a copy of the EC05 modem.bin/.tar (assuming of course your gonna update to an EC05 rom) and flash it through Odin, as there have been no update.zips to update FROM DK28, so there is no way to create a CWM flashable .zip file to update that way.
As per k0nane in the SRF 1.1.0 thread (post #2)...

Use Odin to flash the EC05 modem. UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT "AUTO REBOOT".

Awesome! I was unsure if I was good to update the modem via odin without going to a closer one first. Thanks for the info!!!!

put redbend_ua and the ec05 modem.bin on your sdcard and do the following with adb
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
redbend_ua restore modem.bin /dev/block/bml12
Or you can use this update.zip i made for cwm3

Im getting
Updating modem

Im getting this error after attempting to install ptfmedic ec05 modem update from eb13 to ec05 that is said to work without having to odin. any suggestions?
Reading is fundemental
There is no EB13 to EC05 modem update yet, and the only one on his site specifically says it is for updating from the DI18 modem only...
Direct quotes from his site:
EC05 Modem Update (From DI18 ONLY)

and
Note: If you are on EB13 you will have to ODIN the EC05 modem. This ROM will ONLY update the DI18 modem to EC05.

Yea I have read that. And also came across the release of the script which is available to download from the bonsai website. Which says that you can use it instead of odin. Once loaded
the script specifically says its for eb13 .....
Well, regardless of what it may say, to update the modem.bin through CWM, it requires a modem_delta.bin to update from one specific modem version to another. These are only available when there is an update.zip released by Samsung/Sprint (DI18 to DK28, DI18 to EB13, DI18 to EC05, etc). This is why it is only currently possible to use that file you downloaded to upgrade from DI18 specifically.
Until an EB13 to EC05 'update.zip' becomes available, there will be no CWM flashable file to upgrade your modem from EB13 to EC05. That being said, hopefully there should be one in the near future... or you can just use Odin and flash the EC05 modem instead of waiting.
Hi all,
I'm currently running SyndicateROM DI18 and have held off on flashing new ROMs until SyndicateROM Frozen came out. It's now out, and I'm a little uneasy about the steps I need to go through to install it. Could somebody outline all the steps that I need to take to go from DI18 Syndicate to EC05 SyndicateFrozen?? I have an idea as to what I need to do, but I want to be completely sure of what I'm doing before I do it.
Thanks so much!
I'd also like to thank all the developers that have worked so hard to make our phones awesome!
you can do it a couple of different ways. you can odin to di18 stock and accept the ota for ec05. you can also odin to eb13 and then odin the modem to ec05. some people are having better luck going from eb13 than ec05. either way you take run the one click root for eb13 with cwm3. boot into cwm and once the conversion is complete flash the rom before you reboot.

+1 and you should definately upgrade to the new rom as it is great even though some users are having some issues with it but nothing really major.
Ended up Odin ing to EB13 that was pre-rooted with CWM3, then flashed the EC05 Modem and then flashed the SyndicateFrozen ROM. Everything works perfectly, and boy is it fast!
Thanks for the help!

i found a zip thats supposed to downgrade/upgrade your modem to dI18. it doesnt work. can anybody figure out why. please and thank you. here is the zip
You can't downgrade your modem with a flash thru recovery. It must be done with Odin. You can upgrade in recovery flashes.

There are flashable .zips to upgrade from DK28 to EB13, then from EB13 to EC05.

Since DK28 wasn't an official update, there was no update.zip released to go from DK28 to EB13, thus there is no flashable .zip to update the modem either. In other words, he's stuck with having to use Odin.
I could've sworn that was the method I used....
I don't recall ever ODIN a modem other than DK28, but I must've.
i wish there was a zip that allowed dk28 to update to eb13. is there a way to make a update zip to go from dk28 to eb13?

Let me reiterate my earlier comment...
Since DK28 wasn't an official update, there was no update.zip released to go from DK28 to EB13, thus there is no flashable .zip to update the modem either.
To further explain, to use CWM to update the modem, it requires a modem_delta.bin which is only available from official update.zip files provided by Samsung/Sprint. Again, since there was no update.zip file to go from DK28 to EB13, there is no way to create a flashable zip file to update the modem. This is the reason you are stuck having to flash the full modem.bin or .tar file through Odin.
Ok so I apologize for my ignorance here but seeing as I have an EVO I'm not really used to the process of manually updating the epic for my wife...anyways a while ago I manually flashed the dk28 update on her phone since it wasn't official and she wanted A2SD ability...so now I see all these new builds so now I have just a few questions:
1. What is a good build or version to flash on her phone?
2. Can I flash from dk28 without having to Odin and wipe everything?
3. Do I have to root? (I don't really care but my wife is worried about voiding her contract and blah blah blah )
Any help and insight would be great...and if any of these questions are stupid please go easy on me haha

just odin to di18 it ota if you don't want to root.
otherwise just wait for cm7
You don't want dk28. Go in dev section find the prerooted ec05 by far the best and id suggest flashing acs syndicate rom its by far the best no issues .
For any custom ROM or kernel you have to have root. So if she wants to stay stock then you will need to Odin to DI18 or EB13 and OTA. There is only one stock tar file for EC05. It is probably in the ACS section of development since K0nane released it.

Incorrect. The EC05 stock TAR is fully stock. 100% unmodified full stock.

You cut off my last sentence which mentioned your 100% stock EC05 tar. BTW it would be real helpful if you got it stickied or add it to the OP of your ROM. Thanks big guy.
Do you BONSAI?
I am in the same boat. I was able to upgrade to DK28 when it was originally leaked months ago but I have a new pc without any of the drivers or tools needed so I need a good basics tutorial on how to flash.
I have DK28 and I am hoping I can update without losing anything.
I want the latest, stable.
Should I do EC05, Bonsai or Syndicate? I am rooted.
I am loooking for functionality and simplicity rather than bells and whistles.
Thanks.
I was running ACS SFR 1.2 for the longest time (about a year I think), and yesterday finally decided to update to CM9. I didn't realize it wouldn't update my baseband at the same time (previous roms always did).
I do have CWM 5.0.2.7 installed, and also have successfully used the multiboot FC09 to update my profile and PRL, however, I realized my baseband in CM9 is still EG22.
Is there a way to update the baseband without having to use Odin and losing my CM9 setup? I guess it's not a huge deal to re-set up everything... but I'm a little pissed that Mybackup root wouldn't let me restore my stuff from the backup I made before updating.... so I had to re-install everything from scratch.
I did see a reference to uprgrade.zip, usable from CWM9, but it seems like you had to be on EL30 or something 1st (diff patch?).
Why not just odin the modem (not a full tar, just the modem itself)? It won't touch the rest of your setup.
Yes use odin to flash just the modem you won't touch your rom setup. Search youtube for qbking77 and find his how to video on updating modems. Takes maybe 4 min.

Ok, I was just confused because everything said I'd have to repartition if I used Odin.
Just leary because the last time I Odin'd I damn near bricked my phone...
Anyway... grabbed the FC09 modem.bin, Odin 1.85, Samsung drivers, installed everything on my work PC...
Powered down phone, plugged in... let windows auto update the drivers for the ports ... Booted into download mode (1 + power). Once the com port showed up, I put the modem.bin in the phone slot of Odin ... hit start ... about a minute later... phone rebooted and I now have FC09
Thanks!
Only very few ROMs that did a very specific check could update modems. This was done by using the delta modem provided in the update zip. So you HAD to be on EB13 modem to have the ROM update you to EC05 and that was the only situation supported. There is no way to flash a full modem.bin on the Epic without Heimdall or Odin. There are flashable deltas from EI22 to EL30 and another from EL30 to FC09 but you will need to flash them with the BML CWM temp boot from sd card.

To OP: Below is a download link for all modems from EC05 to FC09, including deltas. Each phone performs differently depending on modem version, so try them out and see which one works best for you.
