[Q] From Syndicate to Syndicate Frozen?

Hi all,
I'm currently running SyndicateROM DI18 and have held off on flashing new ROMs until SyndicateROM Frozen came out. It's now out, and I'm a little uneasy about the steps I need to go through to install it. Could somebody outline all the steps that I need to take to go from DI18 Syndicate to EC05 SyndicateFrozen?? I have an idea as to what I need to do, but I want to be completely sure of what I'm doing before I do it.
Thanks so much!
I'd also like to thank all the developers that have worked so hard to make our phones awesome!

you can do it a couple of different ways. you can odin to di18 stock and accept the ota for ec05. you can also odin to eb13 and then odin the modem to ec05. some people are having better luck going from eb13 than ec05. either way you take run the one click root for eb13 with cwm3. boot into cwm and once the conversion is complete flash the rom before you reboot.

+1 and you should definately upgrade to the new rom as it is great even though some users are having some issues with it but nothing really major.

Ended up Odin ing to EB13 that was pre-rooted with CWM3, then flashed the EC05 Modem and then flashed the SyndicateFrozen ROM. Everything works perfectly, and boy is it fast!
Thanks for the help!

Odin flashing question

I want to flash the EC05 rom. I found one that is prerooted and can be flashed using odin but it is RFS only. However, the phone was previously flashed with cm3 and converted to ext4. If I flash it using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 with CM 2.5 can I then flash up to the EC05 using odin? Or is there no way to go back to RFS? I am very new to doing things with the epic and I have been looking around for a stock EC05 that supports ext4 that I could just flash from the CM 3 recovery but haven't found one yet.

Odin does not care what is currently on your phone. If you flash the Pre-rooted EC05, it will overwrite what is currently on your phone.

That is what I thought but I wasn't sure. I think I have pretty much convinced my brother to just let me flash it with a custom EC05 rom that supports CM3 such as syndicate or midnight.

Let us know how it goes, I have seen quite a few customers who did the EC05 OTA really screw up their devices, radio dropping and power cycling quite a bit.

ONE OF THEM HERE! ! ! the EC05 ota update turn my phone into a slow waste of technology! Fortunte really because it made me root and flash ROMs.
in regards to the pre-rooted EC05.... i have yet to add this to my arsenal... if anyone has a link handy id appreciate it.
just flashed back to DK28 for the Ironman ROM......would recommend, all i can say is whoa! ! !

Modem Update

OK.... Well.... I was really enjoying my rom and did not want to update.... Now it is starting to mess up a bit and I am looking at updating.... I have the Truely Epic Rebirth V1.5 with the DK28 Modem.... I see forums with how to update from DI18/EB13 to EC05 but none from DK. Does anyone know how I can do that? Thanks in advance!

Grab a copy of the EC05 modem.bin/.tar (assuming of course your gonna update to an EC05 rom) and flash it through Odin, as there have been no update.zips to update FROM DK28, so there is no way to create a CWM flashable .zip file to update that way.
As per k0nane in the SRF 1.1.0 thread (post #2)...

Use Odin to flash the EC05 modem. UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT "AUTO REBOOT".

Awesome! I was unsure if I was good to update the modem via odin without going to a closer one first. Thanks for the info!!!!

put redbend_ua and the ec05 modem.bin on your sdcard and do the following with adb
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
redbend_ua restore modem.bin /dev/block/bml12

Or you can use this update.zip i made for cwm3

Official froyo update from DK28?

Ok so I apologize for my ignorance here but seeing as I have an EVO I'm not really used to the process of manually updating the epic for my wife...anyways a while ago I manually flashed the dk28 update on her phone since it wasn't official and she wanted A2SD ability...so now I see all these new builds so now I have just a few questions:
1. What is a good build or version to flash on her phone?
2. Can I flash from dk28 without having to Odin and wipe everything?
3. Do I have to root? (I don't really care but my wife is worried about voiding her contract and blah blah blah )
Any help and insight would be great...and if any of these questions are stupid please go easy on me haha

just odin to di18 it ota if you don't want to root.
otherwise just wait for cm7

You don't want dk28. Go in dev section find the prerooted ec05 by far the best and id suggest flashing acs syndicate rom its by far the best no issues .

For any custom ROM or kernel you have to have root. So if she wants to stay stock then you will need to Odin to DI18 or EB13 and OTA. There is only one stock tar file for EC05. It is probably in the ACS section of development since K0nane released it.

Incorrect. The EC05 stock TAR is fully stock. 100% unmodified full stock.

You cut off my last sentence which mentioned your 100% stock EC05 tar. BTW it would be real helpful if you got it stickied or add it to the OP of your ROM. Thanks big guy.
Do you BONSAI?

I am in the same boat. I was able to upgrade to DK28 when it was originally leaked months ago but I have a new pc without any of the drivers or tools needed so I need a good basics tutorial on how to flash.
I have DK28 and I am hoping I can update without losing anything.
I want the latest, stable.
Should I do EC05, Bonsai or Syndicate? I am rooted.
I am loooking for functionality and simplicity rather than bells and whistles.
Thanks.

[Q] MTD and Modem flashing

In order to flash the EH17 modem from Cyanogen with the EI22 modem can I just flash EH17 through ODIN, or do I need to return to a stock build, update the modem to EH17, then return to Cyanogen?
Background:
I was on EH17 on BML Cyanogen. I flashed EC05 through ODIN, then ran the EC05 -> EI22 delta through Clockwork. After getting EI22 I went to the MTD version of Cyanogen, and currently have a build with WiMAX installed. My battery life has dropped by 4-6 hours since making these changes, and in my office (a very low service area) I've been having a lot more service issues. My instincts tell me to just update the modem because it's probably exists outside of the BML/MTD world, but I do like my phone working.
Thanks for the help!

Yep just odin it in... odin still works on cm7 no need to downgrade unless trying to get to ei22 because you can't flash the ei22 delta with cwm on cm7mtd...
