I tried to downgrade from EH17 to EC05 stock through Odin. I used the official tar first and then tried the plus tar. Neither would complete in odin and just hung; no error or fail. My Epic display however did turn blue on 2 occasions. I used the 1.6 and 1.8 odins and neither worked.
I then tried to flash back to the EH17 stock with root and that didn't work until like the 3rd try. Anybody have issues with going back to EC05 and is it worth the effort? I'm just bored and didn't have any issues whatsoever on the GB builds so based off of that....am I missing anything?

Sounds like your cable is going bad. Time for a heavy duty cable. I am using the one from my Palm Pre and works perfect everytime.
I moved to GB and never looked back. EH17 rebooted at least 2 times a day after the 4th day so ended up going back to EG22. The only issues that has is stock browser won't download from dropbox links so got another browser and alarm wouldn't play in silent mode so got Extreme Alarm. Don't know what advantage going back to EC05 would give you. Many go back because of the reboot issue and can't get decent GPS to work. I can still get 5 out 10 locks so will do for now. If you use GPS constantly for directions then EC05 was way superior.
Odin is Version 1.81, have had no issues with since I have been flashing!

If you still want to downgrade, you might have to go down to DI18 or EB13 then update to EC05.
That is another Way to do it.

Flashing the sfr zip right over your gb leak (and also a kernel) works just fine. Ive done it on several occasions. Only issue I had was restoring data from a nandroid. Doing so would lock my epic into an upside down landscape view, so I had to rebuild from a clean install and just used some titanium backup restores sparingly.

You know what's weird I had some issues going from EH17 to EC05 also... but I traced it down(hopefully) to a bad .tar (even though I succesfully odin'd at least 5 times with that same tar with all 5 previously being successful.

If you wanted to do a clean install and you were already on EC05, would a factory reset (settings/Factory reset) be just as good or would you want to reinstall either the EC05 or original stock DI07 file and do OTAs? What's the advantage of one over the other?

You know, there are two different schools of thought on this. Some always go back and use the OTA updates and some never do. I used to go back to EB13 and take the OTA but now I just go straight to what I want. A custom ROM is going to replace everything anyway

Yeah, I have been using the Factory Data reset a lot more. Then restore only apps, no data except what you must have. Phone always seems faster and smoother for awhile.

Thanks, another question, Factory Reset won't remove root or CWM will it?
Ive never had a problem going from EH17 or any other GB leak to EC05 but i have occasionally had issues with a bad USB cord or bad tar. Also going straight to whatever build you want might be better that OTA updates. As i recall there can be issues with OTA updates which can cause problems down the road. Of course thats just my personal opinion
Well my cable was bad but that did not help with flashing ROMS. I have been dloading from the device though so I will get fresh dloads from the PC.
On a side note, I used the SW tool and flashed back to EB13 then took the upgrade prompt back too EC05. Been rollin' stock just for kicks and I noticed that the stock ROM runs faster then it use to but the graphics in the GUI get a little stuttery here and there. The scrolling and gallery interface are where it is most noticable.
I can't wait till they start letting employees get the Epic touch.....

what method is best "cwm", samsung, or OTA. anybody notice any differences between the 3? which one is best if there is a best one?
i am also wondering why my header for the thread dissapeared? well i guess someone else will probably ask the same soon.
For me its cwm since it comes out of devs.
the update.zip will leave your apps and settings, but requires you to be on stock di18 with stock recovery and still have the stock apps and so on.
the odin image wipes everything.
the pre-rooted cwm flashable update also requires di18, but not full stock and will leave your apps and settings as well as give you root.
The "best" way is up to you.
I used the odin method straight to eb13 because I was already using dk28 with ext4 and the genocide kernel. Worked like a charm. Now all I have to do is get ext4 working again.
I used the 200mb tool from samsung. Works best imo.
I was already running dk28, so I just used the Odin tar for the modem, and flashed the genocide kernel. Now just waiting for some devs to release eb13 based roms
I did the sammy method on my phone and it worked without a hitch compared to the ODIN pain in the lucky if you get it to work after 10 times method. my wife had the OTA method. both of our GPS worked really good before and now after it takes up to 10 minutes to get a lock. is this to be expected? is there a fix now that sprint ruined my wifes gps, mine is in violation of the warranty now and is the tester phone.
How is your phone in violation of the warranty? If you odin to stock your in warranty unless you dismantled your phone....? Just curious

I did oden it back to stock but it never really seemed like it did before. I see that the sammy uninstalled cwm so I think its legit again, and ready to send back if the gps doesnt fix itself.
Hey All. I have been on a roller coaster with My Samsung Epic.
Recently I Finally from DK28 updated to Froyo for my Samsung Epic and flashed Viper trinity ROM on it. It was cool up until certain apps did not work well such as Tom the talking Cat and Hulu. Furthermore I rely heavily on my Sprint Navigator, which was Removed after the Viper ROM flash.
I tried to factory restore and reset but had no luck, my phone actually never was able to reset as from the Privacy reset through the Phones gui it would freeze, and if I did the -vol, camera, and power it still kept the viper ROM.
With out further reading I watched a youtube video and ended up using Odin 1.6 and reset it back to DG27. I tried to than only update to 2.2 Froyo without adding any fancy Roms but it failed to do so.
Thats when I read it could only be flashed forward if its DK28. Im suck now and cant get back to DK28. Ive tried Odin again with the SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-Rel.Tar.MD5, and sometimes removing the .MD5 part.. but odin still gives me errors. ive been at this for the last 9 hours and could use some help, guidance and actual Links that are not broken or have a 404 error on them.
-
Problem: Cannot use Odin to get back to DK28 and is stuck on DG27
Solution I want: To be able to take my crappy Samsung Epic and make it Epic with Froyo 2.2 so I can one click root it, installing Flash and Hulu.

Thank you all!
You may want to Odin to DI18,and then going to EB13 either by an update.zip,or Samsungs tool,mini kies if I remeber right.Or you can try one of the current FROYO ROMs,EB13 based.
Sent from my MyFrankenstein E=Bee13² ROM using XDAP App...
should be able to ODIN right to EB13. look for that file and follow the steps. ODIN doesnt care about deltas etc... it writes to your phone regardless. then you can one click root and rock your custom ROM to get hulu going.
That would be nice.. but EB13 and DI18 I cannot find.. I have been looking for them and have come up with nothing. I have searched and most of the links are the stupid Gator link with 404page error.. Also the Stock roms are just impossible to find.. Im a hammer stroke away from caliming my phone was dropped and just getting a new one. I hae tried Odin3+V1.61 with Victory PIT and SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.MD5 and without the MD5 and continue to get an error....
Please, Links and tutorials will be greatly helpful.
NVM. I found it. Took forever to find the right TARs and what not.. now I have to find a way to go from DI18 to DK28.. OTA update doesnt seem to work.. and warning out there, ViperTrinity Rom is slow and laggy.. Trying to watch Hulu is unwatchable and also a simple app like Tom the Talking Cat does not work well.. Laggy as a mother!
Why dk28? You should just go to eb13 anyway, laggy buggy issues are at least somewhat if not entirely because of dk28, it was a very buggy leak. Now that eb13 is out go to that, throw on a custom kernel if nothing else and you should be in much better shape.
I believe ptfdmedic's newest midnight rom has flashable zips to restore whatever stock sprint apps you might want. Ill see if I can find you links to all you'd need.
Edit: you should be able to use this and odin strait to eb13 froyo stock pre-rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Still looking to see where it was that I found the sprint apps flashable zip that could be used if you went to a custom rom but wanted nav back.
Edit2: ptfdmedic does have a sprint apps edify zip on his site http://lostandtired.com/ under the android development section which I assume these work with EB13 if you were to go to a custom rom with them removed.
The ROM that I was actually thinking of was ecooce's new frankenstein rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982415 He has zips with all the removed apps so you can add back what you need.

I had a epic4g that updated to ec05 ok, ran ok, then I got brave and wanted to try gb, so I loaded up eh17. That went fairly ok, until I decided I wanted to go back to ec05 in prep for the final release of gb and because certain apps weren't working yet because it was a gb release. Thing is, I tried 3 different ec05 roms, including the supposed stock ec05 release and none of them would take. I eventually had to use cwm and restore a nandroid backup I had made before the attempt to get the phone to even work right. I'm feeling daring again and still want to go back to stock ec05, although I will stay rooted. Thing is, there are alot of ec05 roms out there from Bonzai to Syndicate and I'm not sure which one would be the most stable and most likely to give me the least hassle. I know I have to use Odin to first re-flash the ec05 modem, I had no problems with that last time. It was a matter of which pit file to use, which ROM and which cable/usb port would work and even that took about literally 50 tries before it worked right... the couple of times I was able to flash back to ec05 ok, the phone just fc'd like mad, even trying to make a basic phone call... and that was after using cwm 3.1.0.1 to do a cache/data/factory wipe 3x's each. Is there a particularly good stock ec05 ROM I should focus on this time? At work, I have a decent internet connection and can download a 200mb ROM in minutes... at home, where I'll have time to undertake this, my internet is pretty much non-existant, so I need to download whatever ROM I'm going to use now because I won't be able to download a different one tomorrow.
Thanks.

I've played around with most EC05 roms listed here on XDA, and currently my daily driver is RandomRom 2.2 Phoenix. The ERA roms are super fast and slim (with the fat free or reduced fat versions) SFR 1.2 is also good and stable. It's really personal preference. I'd say grab 2-3 and flash em, play with em for a couple days a piece, see which one works best on your phone (different phones, different results) and go from there.
Ok, so i did a full nandroid backup, grabbed a few rom's while I was at work and tried to install one of them today. First, I backed everything up, then I odin'd a stock ec05 modem, then I went into cwm3.1.0.1 and first did a factory wipe 3x's, wipe cache 3x's, then wipe davlik 3x's, then installed the sfr1.2 latest rom, then installed the genocide 1.1 final kernal, which was suggested by the gbking77 video. It ran ok for a bit, but kept randomly rebooting alot, the same problem I had with EH17. So I went back into cwm and tried a different kernal. This time it was worse. I've tried going back to the genocide kernal, but it's not booting up worth a damn...it boots, shows me the lock screen and stays locked until it reboots anywhere from 1-3 minutes later... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????
Did you just Odin the modem, if so I found I would do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
This will make it completely stock EC05. Not just the modem.
Ok, so I've decided to pop my cherry and go to custom ROMs. I'm going to try Blazer first. I'm currently on Stock EK02 everything from the OTA. I rooted using Auto Root. No problems before or after rooting. Needed some advice on the order of operations. I'm thinking of allowing the EL29 OTA update to take place to update the modem and kernel. I'm assuming that the OTA will go through even though I'm rooted. Then, I was going to to flash Blazer. Are the Stock EL29 modem and kernel a good match for Blazer or is there a generally accepted better combination? I was thinking that Stock modem and kernel might be better optimized and tested by Sprint to work better on the network. Thanks!
U can download blazer it has a kernel with the ROM....all you have to do is flash the modem and then the ROM and your good no need to do the update and then have to root again and install clockwork which if you already have then will cause the update to fail....just more steps that can get messed up if you don't read

The ota won't work. Manually flash the modem with cwm. I like the gunslinger kernel. The odex a deodexed cwm flash script improves performance also.
My personal setup is cal's 2.8.1 with gunslinger kernel and the odex script. I also am using a gingerbread launcher. I also went in and disabled the unneeded apks in /system/apps. I am running the EL26 modem because the phone was pissing me off while using streaming radio. It would fall back to 1x and not come back out. Oh yeah, I also did the tweaks for 4g quicker locking and connect with lower signal. On the 3g side, I zeroed out the multimedia addresses and proxies. I'm not over clocked. That may not be the best setup for everyone but its working good for me so far.
Thanks guys. I'm now thinking that since my call quality doesn't have any problems, I might just leave the modem as is on EK02. I'll just flash Blazer with the included kernel. Having EK02 modem won't cause a conflict right? Having not done this before, I should install CWM, then from CWM install "Calkulin's Format All" then install "Blazer". Do I need to reboot or clear any caches in between those two?
Going to test out Blazer for a bit and then Calk's and see which one I like better. Thanks.

Hey Frank, once you have CWM installed make sure to do a BACKUP before you go flashing other roms. Trust me that this is a very important step! Also, since you are already rooted I would advise making a backup of your apps via Titanium Backup? This is not required but useful for restoring apps when flashing ROMs. In answer to your other question, it is not necessary to use Calk's format all, but is recommended. Otherwise, just use CWM to wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Then choose install zip from sd card and flash away.
Calks format all will clear all caches for you... Make sure to go thank the man

I was just in your shoes recently. I was on stock EK02 + root. Decided to use blazerROM as my choice of ROM. I didn't get the OTA update yet, so I went ahead and ODIN the pre-rooted EL29 stock update. I just wanted to see if EL29 had any issues. I ran it for half a day and decided to stick with it. I backed up my contacts and SMS messages and Titanium backup of all my apps. I added CWM via the auto-root script from sfhub. From there, I made a nandroid back up (it saves to your external SD if you have one) and went ahead and flashed calks format all. then flashed blazer right after (stayed in the same menu). Everything is running great so far with no major issues. Once everything was running properly, I just restored my user apps (not system!) via titanium backup, my SMS messages, and contact list.
I also did the same steps for my wife's phone, but put calks rom on hers.
You won't regret flashing. Better battery life, more features, bloatware removed, ect. I don't think i'll be on stock anymore since we get the updates here on XDA faster than sprint pushes them out anyway.

Thanks. I saw another one of your posts and was going to ask you to compare Blazer and Calks but I didn't want to be that guy! I'm just going to try them myself. That said, did you update your modem to EL29 before you moved to Blazer? I'm thinking of keeping EK02 since it works well for me and I've seen others say EL29 had problems.
@jasone4gt Thanks for the reminder on the back up. I've installed CWM, done the back up. Getting ready to flash Blazer now.
You can jump back and forth with modems, so no biggie. If you're satisfied without then you know what they say, if it ain't broke....

Thanks everyone. Took the plunge and everything is great. Didn't update the modem. Installed CWM, did Nandroid and Titanium backups, flashed Calk's Erase All then flashed Blazer. Everything works great so far. It all looks great too. One minor thing. The signal strength indicator is grey color instead of blue like everything else. It's also blue in the screen cap in the second post. Is it supposed to be grey and do I have to flash a theme? Also, does anyone know what the screen density is? It looks a lot better than Stock.
Looking to do this as well. Can you tell me more about auto root? Completely new to the whole root and flash shindig.

It's actually pretty easy. Just follow the instructions in the first thread in development to Auto root. Do step 1, download the e4gtauto-sfx.exe file and then run that. Select A to Root then C to install CWM. I'm not sure if you need to reboot your phone between A & C but to be safe, you might want to. Download the Blazer ROM and Calk's Erase All and copy that to your phone. Then boot into CWM by holding Up volume and Power while turning the phone on. Do the Nandroid back up in CWM. Then install Calk's then Blazer. That's it. You're done. There are a bunch of videos to help if you need it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268548
It depends on what version he's on.
EL13 and up, he'll have to use the Odin package, also by sfhub. Then he would use the package you mentioned to run option C for CWM

Yup, I thought I mentioned that in my post but getting old I guess. If you're on EK02 or earlier, then you follow my instructions. If you're on EL13 or later, you have to do Odin. I don't know how to do that though since I've never done it as I was on EK02.
Ok, run into a little problem. The hotspot hack worked fine right after flashing Blazer. I then did my restore from Titanium back up. Since that, the hot spot doesn't work. It says I'm not authorized. Did I restore something that undid the hack and is there a way to fix it besides doing a reset? Also, my signal strength indicator varied between grey and blue. Is that normal? And what is AOSP email? I installed it but it doesn't look any different than the Stock email. Thanks.

Well, don't know if anyone cares but here are my thoughts on my experience. First off, I think Blazer looks a lot nicer than stock. I suppose you have to like blue. I still have no idea why but my signal strength indicator occasionally turns white. I think it's when either 4G or Wifi is on but it's minor. Sprint tethering works with both 4G and 3G. It seems like 4G disconnects every once in awhile. Sometimes it's the 4G (meaning Internet on the phone doesn't work either) and sometimes the PC hooked up loses Internet access. I mentioned in another thread, the tethering worked right after flashing but after I did a Titanium restore, it stopped working and I got an authorization error. Turns out turning off and on fixed that. I found out after reflashing that you can avoid this problem if you don't restore the data for Wifi Sharing and Wifi Sharing Manager apps. No problems with GPS (used maps and nav) or any other connectivity. Before reflashing, I tried out Madoggin's 13 homescreen from 12/4. I didn't use it long but it seemed to work fine. I just didn't like it because it installs a different theme (didn't like the notification icons) and it replaces the scrolling toggles on the status bar. In case you haven't discovered it, I found out that holding the toggles in Blazer will open up the settings page for that item, e.g. tap Wifi turns it on and off but hold Wifi and it'll open up Wifi settings. I still have no idea what AOSP email is. I installed it and it looked exactly like Stock. After reflashing, I didn't install AOSP email and it still didn't look any different. I guess the difference could be the notification because the one that comes with Blazer has a different envelope icon for new emails. Performance-wise, I haven't noticed anything really different. I thought Stock was a really smooth experience and Blazer seems no better or worse. Battery-wise, I have one data point. I have really bad signal at my office and I would lose 10% battery for every hour on Stock but with Blazer it was half that. Last thing which isn't related to Blazer per se but I had been looking forever for a music player widget. There was another post that mentioned that there is an app in the market called Galaxy S Music Widget that gives you the widget to control the default music player and it is awesome. I also tried Music Mod which I used with my old Streak. It seemed to work ok even though it says it's for Froyo only but it is a separate music player and doesn't work with the Samsung widget thingys on the lockscreen and the notification area. The upside is that it has a lot of different sized widgets. Hope that helps someone. In summary, Blazer's very cool and works great.

Blazer v3.8 fixes this.
Sent from my Super Sexy Epic touch.
Alright so I actually rely on the sprint TEP app after having lost a phone on vacation that would have been located very easily had I had it, it was found anyways but I never got it back.
On EK02 all variations and flavors from stock to really customized the application worked fine. All the leaks, stock rooted and custom rom the apps gps doesnt working giving the message to turn it on and it doesnt work at all. All other GPS stuff works fine. I went back to EK02 and let it OTA to EL29. It gives the message but works fine... I was going to go back to EL29 rooted with the onetouch Odin i had already tried to day but...
The application obviously needs some updating but the real reason i decided to go through making this post is my ODIN land adventure that scared the crap out of me.
I tested roms the usual cwm way until deciding to go EK02. I used sfhubs EK02 onetouch ODIN (after having used other versions just fine) and then used the other app he has todo the EK02 > EL29 check. I thought it was fine but maybe I was wrong? Update went without a hitch and continued my testing.
Anyways word of warning if you go digging without a direction like I was. I couldn't ODIN any of the one touches after that. They all failed hanging on Setup Connection I believe. I went back to regular ODIN so I could choose what I was flashing and threw the old EG30 tar on it. Back on EL29 after that and the onetouch.
I'm not sure if you are suggesting the OTA Compliance Check caused your ODIN One-Click to stop working, but I assure you that is impossible and any appearance that it did would just be coincidental. Except for putting busybox into the tmp directory that is a 100% read-only operation.
I am interested in what may have caused the setup connection to fail though so if you had more info on that I'm up to try to decipher what went on.
Sometimes it is as simple as not realizing that ODIN One-Click needs to be started *before* getting the phone into ODIN D/L mode. If not you need to unplug/plugin the USB cable.
Did you have the yellow COM port show up in the UI of ODIN One-Click?
Did you try rebooting the PC and pulling the battery on the phone?
No I am saying after doing an OTA update to EL29 from the one click for EK02 which I believe is rooted I could not use any of the one click to ODIN anything it seemed. I had not tried to use traditional ODIN until I did the EG30 which went fine.
I did have the yellow com port and tried both my USB2 and 3 ports including one of the USB 2.0 ports that are not native to the system but run off one of the extra 8 pci-e lanes coming off the motherboards chipset. I did not do a battery pull but i did just about everything else you would think of. PC reboots, phone reboots and just for fun did cache wipes for no reason. I did reconnect after starting the one click odin and restarted the apps as well as trying any of them I had before.
I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Android devices but I used to write support tools for loading firmware onto consoles. Not exactly a stranger to the concept.
So one click EK02, OTA to EL29 and then download mode seemed a bust after trying many things but regular ODIN seemed fine. I can see if I can replicate it again but not right now. If whatever builds the auto odin executable packages is out of your hand this might not matter even if it is replicable.

There must be more stuff going on, because I have tested this exact same scenario at least 15 times and have not had the issue you mentioned earlier. This is both with the Full and NoData versions of the EK02 ODIN One-Click.

Yeah decided to stay up. EK02 one click, OTA, EL29 One click went through just fine... interesting. Sorry to bother on that note.
TEP works hit and miss (with the gps message anytime you load in) on EL29 OTA, rooted and rooted with CWM. I will have to try custom roms later but it seems the issue entirely lies in sprints need to update the application.
Oh well figured id explore some. Now to find out why the phone has been hating on WiFi, specifically my N only router but others in general too. Tested that one between stock roms to no avail. Another issue for another day.
If you can figure out what app/process is doing the TEP location, you might be able to take an older version and put it on the current ROM.

Thank you might be worth looking into. Interesting thought actually seeing as how the API and driver interfaces other apps use have not been affected. Sprints methods apparently were written to something specific to the firmware for each device. Maybe a background or helper application sprint has in the firmware.
I am not familiar with the platform yet but I would like to learn. I was about to go back to EK02 and learn how to start doing rom customizations. Almost posted a thread asking for places to look for such reading materials. Just saying rootzwiki as most people would, would never get me close to learning an individual topic or area. Not so much in a hurry anymore whatevers changed even on Calkulins 2.8.1 I am now able to pull manual GPS locations through sprints site. This will do for now.
