When using Odin to go from EF02 back to stock EC05, I was just wondering if there was a specific file I should download that includes a pit file? Or do I just use the regular .tar? Particularly wondering since you're supposed to use a pit when going to EF02.
I'm asking before I try making the switch, trying to make sure I have no problems.
I've never used a pit file with any of the tars I think you'll be OK without a pit file

I never use a pit file when changing modems either. It has never caused me any problems when I change modems.

After I went from the EF02 stock rom to EC05 stock rom the phone booted up fine. I rooted and went to install a fresh SRF 1.2 before restoring, but that actually made the phone lock up on boot...
Went into recovery, restored my backup and the phone booted up fine...
On a side note, coming back from stock ef02 to stock ec05 and then upgrading to EF10 modem via the ota update got rid of my update loop (ef02 to ef10 to ef02, etc).
The EF10 is giving me a somewhat steady 1.3mbps too, which I don't remember it doing when I first tested it out...
Thanks for the responses.
Also, after messing around with ef02 and the AA i3 rom a bit, I was really pleased with the speed of the os itself, my network data speeds were ridiculous, but it was chugging battery. Is that normal? No real battery optimization for EF02 yet or would I just need to undervolt/do something else? Maybe use a different kernel?

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!

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.
I upgraded the firmware to 2.3.3 with the EF02 build and i want to go back to stock for many reasons. I lost my root and now it seems i cannot get it back i tried many ways but cannot. Can someone please help me on how to go back to stock it would help alot thanks

Have you watched qbking77's videos on "How to return to stock"?
No, you haven't. You still can though, and I would suggest that. They are great vids and easy to follow along to. You can pause, stop, even rewind them to keep up
All kidding aside, check them out. It will get you where you want.

You might wanna try to flash eb13 and after you use odin to flash to eb13, connect to wifi and manually update your software via ota to ec05. Go to settings and click about phone then system updates and select update android. This should get you back on ec05. I had the same problem when i wanted to go back to ec05. But i gotta say the second time i flashed ef02 all my functions that didnt work previously now work flawlessly. Although i did redownload the ef02 file again so maybe my original one was a bad download...Good luck to you...Dont forget to update us....

still didnt work...and idk if its just my epic but every rom ive tried the battery is off really bad...it would take me a half an hour just to go up 3%...also i backed up my stock 2.2.1 tw and i tried restoring it but it wouldnt restore through clockwork(i have the purple cwm)it would just stay on the samsung bootloader and vibrate constantly. I would have to use another rom just to fix it...i just want to restore it back to stock with root but i have yet to sucessfully achieve that....would appreciate that i looked at the videos but none showed how to restore back to stock

U might want to go back as far as d107 or d118, their eclair versions but u could update back to froyo using ota updating. In your case I would start from the bottom and work my way back up.

Hello, guess i finally stop lurking XDA as i have a question i could not find.
I just recent flashed the deodexed SamSprint EF02 leak. My baseband was EF10 and was asked to downgrade to EF02 once i had moved to 2.3
is this normal?

Yup, this is normal. There is a command you can enter to disable the auto updates. I am sure someone will post the exact commands here shortly. It won't downgrade you to Froyo, just revert modem to EF02

Yeah but those modem ef02 and ef10 are pretty unstable. I like ee03 and ec05 modem the best.

I'm having a bit of a different problem, I was running the EF02 leak with the EF10 modem, I have now gone back to Froyo as the EF02 was too buggy for a couple things I use my phone for. I ODIN'd an EC05 tar to get everything basically back to stock including the modem, BUT the upgrade popup stating EF10 to EF02 modem update STILL pops up every time I reboot my phone... Any help would be most appreciative.

Check in about phone. You may still have to Odin the EC05 modem. You might be on EC05 Rom but still have the EF02 modem

Is there anyway to change the base band version by flashing a modem from cwm instead of using odin?
I'm having trouble connecting my phone to my computer and this happened after I went to eh 17 so I want to go to ec05
Anyone know if there is a flashable ec05 zip?
I may be wrong but I thought there actually was a flashable EC05 version because it wa an actual official release. I will dig around a bit and ask a few people. I am using EC05 modem on Gingerbread right now and its working very well for me

thanks a lot for your reply.
i was looking for it but cant find it. i honestly want any modem not nesesarily ec05 cuz if i could just get my usb to work which i think eh17 could b the problem i will just odin my phone to stock and do whatever i want to it
if you could help me find it it would really be appreciated.
and just something i thought of.. when ec05 came out it was released ota and in the "update.zip" way so if i could find the update.zip fild for it would it also change the baseband version or no?
Good question. I know the ReRFS ROM takes you back to stock EC05 but I am not sure if it switches the modem. I will check my copy and report back

No unfortunately it doesn't. But John it would be great if you found it. I think we both looked for this once before for somebody. There were older EC05 ROMs like Bonsai that would update your modem to EC05 but only if coming from EB13 or DK28.

I was looking last night and came across that rom. It didn't change the modem tho.
But something I just kind of figured out was I can flash froyo roms on a GB modem? I thought it wouldn't work. After I flashed the rerfs rom for ec05 I flashed syndicate rom and its working perfect now even tho I'm on a GB modem?
But still the computer won't connect to my phone.
I also tried using a different phone to make sure the usb does work and it worked on a different phone. I tried to see if my memory card might b the problem but no it wasn't. this rom I'm on now is good but I would like to odin my phone just to b safe then return to this.
And I'm just wondering did this happen to anyone else? Is anyone else running eh17 and having usb problems?

Oh thanks. I didn't know that.
Another thing I was thinking about is the cwm flashable deodoxed eh17 modem. Would that change the modem or just the rom..? I had the same thing for ee03 I think it was but I deleted it since so many newer leaks came out. Do you think that would work?

can u give me a link to one of those roms id still like to just try it and see what happens
so just to make sure my prioblem wasnt from the usb cord i just bought a new one and still its not working.
I thought this phone was on 2.3, but it was on 2.1 (or 2.2) DI18. I updated CWM to 5.0.2.7 and then flashed CleanGB MTD.
When I reboot, I cannot get service, and airplane mode switches really fast between on and off.
I believe it may be the modem, so I am trying to upgrade the modem from DI18 to EC05 so I can update to EL30. However, the current DI18 to ECO5 flashable zip I have is giving me an error (Status 7).
Aside from from the modem, any other thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks.

You can just flash a modem through odin . I think the newest official tar is el30 so here it is : EL30 Modem.tar place this in the PDA box in odin make sure nothing but auto-reboot is checked and hit start. Make sure you have a trusty cable and not a stock one. You could also need to update your prl as well as your profile so do that wait a minute or so and reboot the phone. You can do this in the about phone section where it says updates or something similar.. i dont know cuz im on cm9
It could also be a bad download of CleanGb so you can always try redownloading and reflashing that.

I would say coming from Eclair, he might want to stick to official 2.3 Touchwiz for awhile rather than go to AOSP ROMs.
Hm
No matter what you choose to flash, I would of Odin'd the latest Official Tar, and then done a profile update, prl update, etc. THEN Flash the rom/poison of your choice. IF you do end up going to whatever MTD rom, there's an EL30 SD Temp flashable build on Epic CM9 Blog that can let you update your profile on MTD Roms that support kexec, which I think most, if not all, do by now. That way you can update your profile, prl, etc without having to Odin back. Glad to hear that a modem update fixed it!

Its not unstable at all its come a LONG way since alpha. I personally run aokp 31 with my samurai kernel because aokp has more options than cm9. But both are equal in stablilty =].
