Help please. Issues with eb13 to ec05 script!

Im getting
Updating modem
Script aborted(no error message)

Installstion aborted
(status 7)
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.

update modem to d18 without modem

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.

Can't update to EK02

Stock EG30 can't update to EK02.
Baseband version says:
S710.10 S.EG30
Kernel version says:
2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734
Build number says
GINGERBREAD.EG30
i used the instructions for flashing the stock EG30 [after many attempts to flash to EK02 stock] with ODIN. Placed the EK02 on external SD card and booted into recovery (stock) tried to apply the update and it fails at updating modem each time.
EK02 MD5: 49bc6cab6887015557a4d4950813c554 *182a027d4f63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip
any suggestions or is this a return to sprint repair shop deal?

To flash that EG30 to EK02 zip, you need to have a custom recovery and be rooted. If you are stock and unrooted, check for system updates.

The system update that pops up telling me about a new firmware fails at the same spot updating modem.
And after the reboot I'm never notified of the update again and checking for firmware updates returns there is no new firmware update available.
Update
Just got the phone back from the store and they don't know what the issue is but suggested that i use CWM to do the upgrade. Sadly not even CWM can flash the modem i tried, and they will not warranty the phone because this isn't a problem the phone still works but i can't update the phone to the OTA

The store told you to use a root only function? That is one AWESOME store.
And... is the update the EK02, or the EG30? I can't tell. I don't want to flash the wrong thing. The OP stated they can't update to EK02, but the commenter stated that to flash to the EG30. So which one is it? What is the OTA update?

Eg30 is the stock software and ek02 is the update .Odin the stock tar provided in the link . Update over the air from sprint.

+1.... @OP It sounds like you are making it difficult for yourself and honestly the EL13 with nociq is really the way to go. Or if you are completely stock right now then use this method hereand just flash a EK02 rom. The one thing I can tell you is never go to the store. You dont want them to flag your account and if something bad really happens they blame it on root. I know they are not supposed to but why tempt fate

i had the same problem....i flashed back to stock rooted rom....used file manager to go into the cache file....there is an update .zip file called something about EG30 to EK02...i moved it to SD card...booted into recover (CWM) update vie sd card and BAM....2.3.6....it unrooted me...i used e4gtauto-sfx.exe to reroot

[Q] I have ShadowKernel for EI22 and got the OTA Update for EL30

I have flashed to ShadowKernel for EI22 and just recently recieved the OTA update for EL30 its rebooted and crashed in the process.
I am just curious if I wanted to update to EL30 will I need to flash my phone back to stock or is there another process I can take in updating?

You will need to Odin the el30 tar.

no, you won't have to re-odin, there is a tar file for el30 by toadlife

Does it matter if I used CWM instead to flash ShadowKernel will I have to install Odin and do this instead.

you have to use odin to flash the el30 tar file. then you can try flashing through cwm the shadowkernel

Updating Baseband from EG22 without Odin?

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.
