Need to go back to stock(no odin)

Ok Guys i need a way to go back to stock without odin or heimdal my usb port is out of the equation. Only way to get files onto phone is through my sisters EVO. This needs to be no root no custom rom. I have to take my phone in to sprint cause 1.)the usb port 2.) My touchscreen is useless it doesn't work .
Thanks

There's a re rfs rom in android development...little busy otherwise id post it. You'll need to flash it and flash the stock recovery.

Make sure superuser is deleted as well. You will still be stuck on whatever modem you are on. I think if it is not EC05 it will mess up the OTA updates.

Thanks a lot guys ! And I'm on ec05 so were set

Bad download? You flashed the ROM and it doesn't look like Froyo stock? What ROM are you on?

I'm on the latest sleeper rom

MTD? Then you are screwed. You can't get back to stock without Odin or Heimdall. You need to repartition. BUT there is an MTD version of the FB15 leak which should look enough like stock to get you through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522816
That is the best you can do. You should also do the 2 flashable modems to get you to EL30 and delete Superuser before you bring it in.

Wow just what i wanted to hear hahah alright man thanks

Let me know if you need links to the modem flashables and how the "stock" ROM looks.

Do you think they will try to access the recovery?

It depends on how interested the tech is in making sure it is not a software problem. There are a few horror stories about accounts getting flagged but most of the time the techs don't care. Just smile a lot...lol.

thats didnt install either nothin changed !!!!!!!
EDIT: opps needs to be mtd lol my bad

Whatever stock-ish MTD rom you flash, make sure you flash data, (factory reset) if you're returning it, might as well.

This thread scares the hell out of me. A bad USB port on your epic is a fatal blow to your potential sprint insurance coverage. I cant think of anything worse, especially if your on MTD. Although, if your paying for insurance, i dont think it should really matter what firmware/rom you have on your device.
To the OP, you should be fine. As long as you can make it look at stock as possible, the average sprint employee is not smart enough to get into specifics. They are usually pretty cool about it. As a matter of fact, the tech at my local sprint store put gingerbread on my phone a week before it was released using odin (this was before I knew anything about flashing or rooting), most of the tech's do exactly what we do, so dont sweat it too much.

let me know which rom you put on i'm pretty much in the same boat i need to take my phone in because i'm having hardware failure

The one I posted a few posts back (post 16) by Bbelos is the closest to complete stock for MTD. Just delete superuser when done. Then you are only left with CWM recovery as evidence.

Unzip and put file into PDA in ODIN and flash away! If you need ODIN, it is attached below.
*WARNING* DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY AUTO-REBOOT AND F. RESET TIMER SHOULD BE CHECKED.
If you need more information about this file and what it is/what to do with it, read the stickies at the top of this forum to learn more about ODIN and what it is used for. This file is provided mostly for people who like me who prefer to odin a stock rom and tweak it themselves. It will also prove INVALUABLE from here on out for when you need to unroot your phone (send into t-mobile/samsung, just want it un-rooted).
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
I also attached the latest superuser and CWM recovery for those who want to root.
Put the recovery.tar in the pda slot and flash for CWM recovery.
Then install the attached superuser inside CWM recovery to have full root!
FYI: It's a known issue that superuser usually does not "stick" on the first try. This is with ANY ROM for our phones. Just keep flashing it (usually 2 to 3 times)until it says installation complete.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR DOWNLOAD/FLASH COUNTER (+)

NO, it clearly says ODIN on top.
Mr. X is making the flashable zip.
Powered by the SGSII

Nope i believe Mr. X is making that as we speak. This is for a full ODIN flash.

rooted?

Can't wait for your link, can I use CWM to flash? Is the firmware already rooted or
factory fresh one?

Wow you guys...just wow...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Will be factory fresh. Will be like any other stock rom, not rooted. Root it via odin like we have always done for all of our roms. I think it's best to just leave completely intact so we always have an option to get our phones back to 100% factory. The CW flashable zips and rooted custom roms are on their way.

You should've seen this coming dude ! Lol

An odin file is just that: an odin file. No offense if you knew what an ODIN file was you wouldn't be asking.

How do I get my epic to stop telling me to update

My Epic is rooted and on EL30, and it keeps wanting me to update to FC09. I dont want too, and want my phone to stop telling me to.
I saw someone post an emulator terminal and just enter in a piece of code. I tried that and rebooted the phone and it still told me to update.
2 other minor things, I somehow have a new icon on my home screen that says "Market" and its clearly not the Play Store. I cant seem to get rid of that either.
Any help would be nice! Thanks

[Q] (Q) Bricked Phone

Could somebody please explain why flashing a ROM (AOKP) on this kernel/recovery would brick my phone? I'm not blaming anyone but myself, but I just really don't want to go through it again. My problem is I thought being on Agats kernel I would be safe. But obviously I was wrong. Yes I know, FAIL. At least I got some good years in before popping my brick cherry. :laugh:

I know it's risky, but I mean not like that. Followed instuctions and flashed per instructions like always. I was flashing AOKP. But would it matter what I was flashing, or where I'm flashing from? I do not know if it had any updates. I guess I had hoped if it was unsafe, or "risky" it would have been in the OP. I'm just trying to figure out what the heck I'm missing here. Thanks, I'll be getting a new one $35 so it's not horrible.

I use the el26 kernel or I use chris41g's twrp kernelor even his cwm kernel. They will overwrite the updater binaries using its own. However some zips will not like it and abort. Its safe as hell though. El26 is the first choice though
