When I first got my epic I installed a 1 click root on it. I have no idea which one it is as its been a while. I have been wanting to upgrade my phone to nebula's 1.0.7 rom so I can run 2.2 on it. I would first like to put my phone back to 100% out of the box factory everything before I go and do this. I have been reading the android development section for the epic but all the links I click on to download the software I need are all down. Pages are all comming up unavailable. Is there anyway I can get some help with getting the files I need and also a quick step by step on how to do this? Thank you in advance, il post my current software installed below
Kernal version: 2.6.29
Build Number: SPH-D700 Eclair.DI18
I'm on mobile so I can't provixe you with a link right now, but I believe it is best to use Odin to flash back to stock.

Well after tons and tons of searching I was finally able to get odin and the stock DI18 downloaded. Now I ran into another problem, Im trying to do the 1 click root with clockwork and I cant download it. Keeps comming up as a virus and wont let me download it. Trying to get syndicates rom installed.
=) Have to write 8 posts before i can post a URL... I'm on 5 with this one.
I recently rooted my girlfriends EPIC and it is running smooth...
She is running MIDNIGHT ROM and it's very fast. Had to install SETCPU to conserve battery.
Its coming up as malware and such cause its an exploit.

Ok check it out... I used this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrE7D_Raw4 I followed STEP BY STEP and it worked. Make sure you have the ROM you want in your SD card and flash BEFORE you reboot after you set up CWM for the first time. Make sense? Lol... If you want 100% out of the box factory, download ODIN 1.61, open ODIN, put your phone on DOWNLOAD MODE (HOLD 1 and POWER button at the same time til you see yellow droid dude with a shovel). Connect your phone via USB cable. On ODIN window, put SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar on PDA section and s1_odin_20100512.pit on PIT section. After you do that, UNCHECK F.Reset Time and click START (Leave Auto Reboot checked). Let it do its thang. Your phone should reboot and BAM!! Hello 100% out of the box factory. I used this method at least 4 times while trying to figure out what ROM was best for my girlfriend. Haha. Hope this helps!
I've been looking everywhere for ODIN and it always leads to the SDX link that's down. Any links?
So will a computer with no protection allow me to download it? I ignored the warning anyway and downloaded it to my desktop but it didn't show up, no file was there. I'm sure that's just mse just blocking it out. Already have the rom downloaded and ready to go, just need to install a 1 click root with clockwork before I can install the rom.
Also figured out odin and have my phone back to out of the box stock so I'm ready to start trying some roms. Thanks for the help thus far.

Ok so I finally figured it out and clockwork installed. Now im trying to install nebula's rom to see how I like it. I booted into system recovery but I dont know the keys. I figured out how to go up and down but what key is enter?
Yea i don't see why not. Hmmmm. Try saving it in your downloads. Don't know why the file isn't showing up...
The enter button is your HOME button at the bottom...
Or the MENU button but im almost sure its the home.
Ahhh thanks.
No prob SIR =)
Heres another question for ya. I got clockwork installed and I want to install syndicates rom now. I have the zip on my sd card but when I boot to system recovery it doesnt show up. Am I doing something wrong?
Did you go into your SD card through CWM?
its stuck at factoryrfs.rfs what should i doo?? im trying to go from EC05 to EB13 for the viper synergy rom 5.0 should i go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 and try this method? i thought you had to put the tar in the phone slot but this states to put it in the pda slot.. Help please??
Is your firewall and antivirus disabled? Mine was blocking it and it would freeze.
I have AVG should I uninstall it for now.. I completely bricked my last epic somehow using odin.. sh!t i hope this works
Happened to me a few times when using odin, and from what I could tell it was an issue with the cable I was using.
Shorter cables seem to work better for flashing, since there's less resistance in the wire and therefore (I assume) you get a better connection.
When it froze at something like that for me, I just pulled the battery and tried again. Eventually it always went through, and never bricked my phone. YMMV though
yeah i do have a long cable.. i tried running as administrator and changes usb ports... if anyone has ANY type of advice please send it my way.. Thank you
SOOOO i fixed it i used the link provided at the top thank you everyone i hope this will help someone in my situation.. im now running Froyo.EB13 soon synergy viper rom 5.0
Antivirus software usually blocks and deletes rageagainsthecage.bin as it is considered a Unix exploit...duh
I usually set it to go to sleep for an hour. Firewall software shouldn't make any difference.

Ok So Im A Rooted User , Ive Been Rooted For Ever Since I Received My Evo 4G. But Recently I Think I Have Some Bad Issues With It & I Dont Know What Else To Do.
First , It Started By Me Being Curious & Wanting To Get Sense 3.0 On Evo Using The Synergy Kingdom ROM. I Did Everything But Apparently Every Flash I Try Doing It Tells Me "Installation Aborted". It Frustrates Me Because I Never Failed At Any Of My Flashes.
So I Cant Flash To Sense 3.0 , But Now I Can Only Restore My Backups , I Triedd Going To CM7 , Still Another Aborted Installation.
So Today I Took Time Off To Get This Phone Flashed Again ! Yeah .. Didnt Work Out , I Tried Upgrading It To Official Non-Rooted 4.24 , & Still , Another Aborted Installation. I Try Using The RUU Method By Using The PC & My Phone Dosent Give Me The Option Pop Up That Allows you To Set "Charging Only" Or The "Disk Drive" Neither The HTC Sync Option. Im Stuck On Stock 3.70 , Please Help , Apparently I Feel Like A Newbie Noob At This Now , & Im Asking For Help , Please ?
Use the pc36img.zip way of running ruu, then flash amon ra recovery. Before that, you should back up your sd card, then reformat it.
After you get recovery, position your card, and flash synergy.
Sorry this isn't more detailed. Hard to swype it all out

Which recovery and version are you using?
xNotta - Ive Used The Latest Clockwork For The CM7 But With the Synergy I Used The Latest AMON-RA ?
Hipcat - Can I Get More Info On Your Procedure , Sounds Like It Would Work , How Do I Run The RUU ?
I can't believe noone stepped in to answer this.
Anyhow, here's a thread on running RUU's

Hello, so im a relative noob in the forums per say, by my post count, bt ive been stalking the xda forums since my HTC Touch Pro 2..Usually, with enough searching i can fix my problems on my own, bt I can't afford to break this fone..
Here is the story. (sry if im giving TMI) (THE ACTUAL QUESTION IS AT THE END. RELATIVE INFORMATION IS AS FOLLOWS)
I was content with my stock EL29 rom,bt I wanted to try the new ICS update. So, I manually updated to FF18 using this link:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...bbe3997e3067.SPH-D710_update_EL29_to_FF18.zip
I used QBKing's video's steps to update. Big shout out to him, btw.. So after i wanted to root to eventually flash a custom rom. So i rooted using sfhub's one click for FF18 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Now, i few days of reading later, i decided to install the recovery to start installing custom roms. However, my fone got a bit wet a few days ago from a thunderstorm video recording adventure and I couldnt install the recovery.
I plugged in my fone and it wasnt recognized by any of my three computers at home. I uninstalled and re installed the samsung drivers numerous times. Keep in mind that I had previously used sfhub's one click sucessfully, so it is unlikely to be a computer problem.
So a few days later my fone starts telling me that im charging it (or its overvoltage) when its nt even plugged in. Now, it wont even turn off. it restarts as soon as it turns off.
-------------
So basically, I have come to the conclusion that I have a hardware usb port phone problem. Now, since its rooted,just with a stock FF18 rom, will Sprint give me problems if its an obvious hardware problems?
Is there a way to unroot without plugging it into my computer? Im thinking mobile ODIN,bt i heard it cant flash modems? would that be a problem if im from a rooted FF18 going to EL29? Or shud I just go back to stock unrooted FF18?Or shud I just take it to Sprint and hope they dont check the phone software wise?
I wud appreciate multiple opinions or even confirmations of other ppls ideas. Bt thanks for reading all this.. Hope I didnt put u guys to sleep
Thanks for all the help in advance guys...u guys rock..

Now, I haven't had this problem, but on my old moment, what I did was flash it back to an old version of Stock (say EL29 [on this phone use MobileODIN]), then try to apply the OTA update, or even download the OTA update files and place them on your SD card and try that way. Then you phone would look stock when you take it in, just make sure have a battery as full as possible.
thanks for the suggestion. I ended up bringing it to Sprint and as soon as I left my car, the power button stopped working for some reason.
They ended up focusing on that and ordered me a replacement phone. I guess since it was still on the stock rom, they didnt realize it was rooted.

Hope you find some help! You have to follow some very specific procedures to get your phone out of the incompatible pieces that you have put in it by now. Messing up the boot loader from what I am reading is pretty bad. I wish it were as simple as running gparted on ubuntu and fixing the disk for the OS reinstall. BUT I am quite sure there is a process for it.
Please try: reading this. Hopefully you know if you have hard bricked or soft bricked. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340644
