How Can I Bring Firmware Down? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm currently running Gingerbread 2.3.4 with the EH06 modem, and on the EG22 build. I was wondering how I could go down to EC05..
if it matters, I'm running RandomROM 2.3.4
Thanks.

Yep, just Odin in any modem.tar or use Heimdall and put in a modem.bin.

I always put the modem.tar in pda? And modem.bin in phone

I never tried a modem.bin in Odin. I used Heimdall for that. But the modem.tar usually works from either slot. His phone has been a bit finicky. Maybe it's his cable.

Phone will not boot... can get into download mode

Hey, I'm a Vibrant guy and was helping a friend with his Epic try and flash CWM thru Odin 1.6.1.
Started Odin and it just hung... now the phone does nothing on boot but I still can get to download mode.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Belongs in q & a. And theres a thread stickeyd explaining how to revive it. It'l be a long download though, about 200mb iirc

Try odin'ing without the battery or sd card. If that fails use heimdall. Are you checking re-partition and using a pit file? An EPIC pit file?
Before admin closes the thread... which slot in Odin are you putting the .tar? PDA or "Phone"?

victory_8G_100528.pit, SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar and checks on re-partition, reboot and rest time
Using Pit and PDA
Only check should be in reboot. That's your problem.

Should we bounty up a [EL30]+[ROOT]+[CWM]+[ODIN]

We really need a single stock flash that pre-roots with CWM and the latest modem. Anyone know if this is being worked?... or if it ever will?
Doubt it its not hard to odin el30 and root it. Just more steps but elimnates what 2-3minutes top...
I'd do it myself but have no idea how to xD
Not sure a file dump would be sufficient

Can't happen at the moment (well the modem anways). They have not released a full tar for the modem yet... which is why we only have delta flashable modems...

It doesn't flash a modem... only a rom... the only way to get the el30 modem is to flash it in cwm... and to answer you fully, I consider it a rom... it doesn't contain a modem... odin the ec05 modem and then odin that rom... guess what, you're still on the ec05 modem... that's what I consider it...

EL30 Odin package sans modem. Should be good enough for now. You just need to Odin the EC05 modem, found here. Then flash this delta to update to EL30 modem, found here.
3 steps isn't that bad to get to current stock, given the fact we don't have that official .tar file.
You are in the wrong place. You should post this on Samsung's website. You can have this after Samsung relases a tar. All the money in the world won't get it here.

I got the impression from the OP that what he/she wants is a pre-rooted stock ODIN tar. Can that be done without the modem?

Yes without the modem, not a problem. Toadlife already gave us a stock tar without the modem. It would probably be easy for him to make a prerooted version.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of prerooted EL30 (with modem) + cwm + root. But a 2 step wouldnt be bad... if all one had to do is flash the delta right after odining the rooted EL30 with CWM.

Hit up Toadlife to throw a recovery and superuser into the tar he made then put a link to the modems thread in the OP with it.

Yes, Odin one of sfhub's one-click packages. I went from FC22 back to EL29 with no complications whatsoever.
Oh hell, missed the mobile Odin part. I still believe you can but you have to flash the modem separately, however please wait for a response from someone who actually has mobile Odin experience. Sorry about the miss.
No problem, anyone know if it is safe to do?

Yes, that is correct, mobile odin will flash the oneclick.exe files.
It won't flash cdma modems, but that is a generic issue not related to odin oneclick.
I may very well be wrong here, if so please let me know...
From my understanding it was only the ICS recovery (due to lack of kernel source) and touch recovery (due to being crappy) that were bricking phones.
For every leak I tried, i simply used mobile odin to flash rogue el29. then restored my backup...am I risking a brick with this method?

Need help

How do i use mobile odin to flash to el29? Really would appreciate the help.

Just open mobile odin, select the tar file location and and say flash firmware...if im not mistaken.
Once you download a tar file, move it to the root of your SD card or internal storage. Once in mobile Odin click either kernel/modem ect... then click on the tar file you want to flash. Move down to the bottom where it says flash firmware. Click that button. If the file is correct and in the right spot. It will ask "are you sure you want to flash this" click yes. Profit. Phone reboots good to go. I only use mobile Odin for kernels and modems tho.

And even if u had a lg8 tar for odin, u cannot flash the modem in there so youd still have to apply the modem in recovery

Why not use clark44's modem flasher tool?

If there is a full tar u can flash the modem in it on Odin from the pc, it's a full modem not a patch
