[Q] About going from EF02 back to stock EC05.

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?

Question base band version

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.

Idk if this'll help, but here's the update.zip for EB13 to EC05.

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?

I haven't had a reboot since the kernel release before EI22 released. Try Odining back to EC05 and accept all the OTAs.

Tried that.. Went back to EC05, Completley wiped and formatted the SD card and did all the OTA updates..

I had reboots and then I flashed toadlife's el30 kernel and haven't had a one in 24 hours with heavy use.

Thanks Ill give his kernel a try

I haven't had any reboots that I've noticed. Even on EI22 I only got a few lockups or reboots, and it always seemed it happened when I was downloading data and tried to switch networks (usually 3G to WiFi).

Have you used 4G at all? 4G reboots me... often. On on EI22 base, anyway. I haven't used it on EL30 yet.

My 4G works great too. In Daytona, we had 4G a week after the Epic release. They have expanded the coverage in the area as well. No reboots at all since the source kernel was released.

Is thre anyway to upgrade just baseband from EH17 to EL30?

I'm running the stripped EL30 stock GB rom, rooted and all that noise, but my baseband version is still EH17, obviously. Problem is I can't seem to find any zips to update from EH17 to EL30.
Everything makes it sound like somehow I have to downgrade to 05 or something first, but again, I can't find a zip for that either.
Outside of a whole ODIN rebuild, is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Nope... you have to odin in the ec05 and then flash the ec05 to el30.zip in cwm... its the only way... the modems are stickied in either general or development... I would guess development though...

Just Odin or Heimdall the EC05 modem found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123103
Then flash the EC05 to EI22 delta flashable and then the EI22 to EL30 flashable.

In your post you stated tortel has an ec05 to el30 flashable no?

Yes he does. He basically combined the 2 flashables into one. I linked it in my modem thread.

[Q] No service after flashing to CleanGB, CWM 5.0.2.7 from 2.1 DI18

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 =].
