EC05 .tar file to Odin - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cannot for the life of me find the stock EC05 .tar file for Odin.
Anyone have a file or link? Preferably the one already rooted.
Domo!!

That's alright. It's all good. You will find most needed stuff in the stickies at the top of the sub-forums. At the top of General is qbking77's 67 videos to help with just about everything and each video includes links. So the video on how to return to stock would also have a link to a tar.

What is with the rash of wrong section posting lately...
if you have enough posts to post in development, you have been here long enough to know this goes in q&a, and to know to look at some stickies or something first.. i know the search sucks, but come on...
I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.
you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.

Don't be an asshole chris. I didn't know that or id put it there wouldn't you think so there for keep your comments to yourself. Its never that serious

[Q] System update?

I am rooted with Mortify ROM right now, but I keep getting a system update message. It only gives me the options to install it now or later. Will this screw up my phone, cause it is working fantastic for once and I don't want to have to go through a whole mess to make it work again.
TIA
It won't screw it up. It will fail, and then you will do a battery pull and restart it. It will, however, continue to pop up several times a week until you use the search to find the permanent solution.
(Hint: its several posts down and titled something like "running clean GB and prompted to update to FC09).
sent from a secret underground bunker
The permanent fix is to modify your build.prop to reflect you have fc09 instead of fb15 fc09 is the latest ota that's why your getting that notification. I will link you the how to. But to do it you use terminal emulator and follow the commands.

And that's why there is a search feature.... AND GOOGLE! Sorry but that's not an excuse for me... I have been a member since, what, october? When I first signed up at xda you didn't see me posting the same things over and over again... whether its general or development, you should still search... if you have a question, I can almost guarantee you it has been asked/answered already! Bottom line....... SEARCH BEFORE POSTING!!!

[Q] update el30 to fc09?

Just got my new epic a couple hrs ago. Last one broke.
Rooted and flashed cleangb on to it.
Got a popup a couple minutes ago asking if i wanted to update mr7 from el30 to fc09.
Should i? Will it mess with the rom?
Shame on you should know better than to post questions in general LOL. If you want to stay on clean GB then you will have to modify your build.prop to stop the update. Otherwise flash an FC09 rom.

I'm in the same boat. But, I have cleangb MTD. I gave my phone to my son after I picked up an ARRIVE WP7.5 to try out. He told me he got a prompt to update. I have been looking for info. Is it worth upgrading to? And is there a link that will give me more info and what's needed to update? Thanks
You cannot update on a custom ROM. You can flash an FC09 ROM. There are a bunch in the Development forum. You can also edit the build.prop file to stop the update notification.

OK, thanks. Are there any links to the what's included in the new update? Thanks in advance.
On Sprint.com if you can navigate through their crappy website to the "update firmware on you samsung epic" page it will list the features of FC09.

The only thing really new from el30 to fc09 is the "optimizer" (sprints version of juice defender....)
If u want to stop the pop up, just allow the update to proceed, let it fail, pull battery, then reboot ur phone. That's it

Windows Odin 3.07

First off I apologize if this is posted already but I searched and didn't see it. I ran across this on google yesterday when I was messing with my phone. It is the latest version of Odin for Windows. Not sure what the differences are other than some additional options, which I don't know if we can use yet So here it is if you want to try it out.

Have to watch this one. I asked about using this in a couple of threads a while back. All I heard was crickets. Probably stick with 1.85 anyway, if it ain't broke..
Ok I have been screwing around with it for about an hour and it does seem a little buggy. I was able to flash several .tar files but for some reason it had a little trouble with sfhub's el29 tar. When I tried to flash it I got the same thing you did. I flashed a different tar and it worked. Came back to his to test again and it worked. On a side note is there not an EL29 stock tar out? I can't find one that is a full stock tar that deletes data and everything?

I understand that. Unfortunately I am a habitual updater. I have to have the latest versions. Detrimental at times for sure but I can't help it
They must have changed something in how they use the underlying images in the tar file. Since 1.85 works fine, it isn't highest on the priority list to figure out what they changed right now.
There should be a link to the EL29 tar that was leaked from Samsung in 2nd or 3rd post of the EL29 ODIN thread, but I'm not sure if the end link is still active. It has been a while and megaupload and lots of file lockers got shutdown in between.
download for my PC reinstalled. thanks
A while back I tried the 3.04 version and it hung on a .tar too.
Had to use one of sfhub's One-Clicks to get my phone back.
So being very much in need of a working phone I just figured it's not ready for prime time and left it alone.
Maybe someone with more intimate knowledge can find some documentation as to it's underpinings and changes.
Thanks for the find. I may try this later when I'm feeling bored with a working phone. ;-P
ty for the find though; its much appreciated 8^)

[Q] Flashing zip modems in ODIN

I have downloaded all of the modems from Rwilco's site to test and see which one works best for my area as there are times that my phone will not connect to data.
When I click the pda button and go to the modem zip file it does not show up because it is looking for a tar file.
So, are all of the modems available in a tar format, do I select all files and load the zip, or can I just extract the zip files and flash the modem.bin by itself?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Wrong section, but whatever. I'm not 100% but I'm pretty positive you can just flash the modem zips right with your recovery. Also, the app mobile oden may be worth looking into. Jl I'm sure will chime in here & maybe give you a definite answer, but like I said, rwilco I believe has zips & can be flashed in recovery. I been away from note 2 for a while, & as a wifi only toy there's no need me to look into it, & my memory is ridiculous. Hope this helps.
Edit - I just took a peak. Yeah, don't even need to mess with Odin, rwilco has zip format

If file is .zip then use recovery. If file is .tar.md5 then use Odin. If file is .rar then it needs to be uncompressed.
