Hey, I did some stuff to my epic 4g along time ago but I'm not quite sure what I did, all I know is that I'm not running the stock rom and that I'm still using stock recovery. Phone is not rooted. I'm no longer getting service to my phone as if airplane mode is always on, I'm hoping that if i update to EI22 it would fix that but I'm afraid that I make a mistake and brick my phone. Can somebody point me to the right directions?
Phone specs:
Model Number: SPH-D700
Firmware Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: S700.0.5S.EF02
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EF02
Hardware Version: D700.0.5
I've had this happen a few times running the EF builds. You just need to reflash the radio (modem) firmware via ODIN.
Grab the EF02 modem from this thread:

You'll have to put your phone in download mode for odin (with phone off, hold '1' on the keyboard + power at the same time after a few seconds you'll get a little yellow android caution sign on the screen)
sweet thanks, that helped.
Although my phone is working again, i'd still like to upgrade to EI22 if someone can help me out with that?
To get the modem you will need to get back to EC05 modem. Odin that. If you want a custom rom you can then just wipe and flash the EI22 rom of your choosing. If you want stock, I ran re-rfs then downloaded the google update on my own and flashed that. Then I odin'ed mkasick's ei22 key fix kernel (basically stock plus key fix) and then odin clockwork mod purple. Boot to recovery and flash su.zip and you are stock rooted.

Can anyone please help answer this question or point me in the right direction, I know it been asked time and time again...I am a total noobie sooooo......
I have a rooted epic 4g no custom roms...do I have to unroot then update to 2.2...or can I just update to 2.2?
Thanks!!!!!!!
Your rooted so u can flash 2.2 with cwm
Download ec05 stock pre rooted. Too your sd card. Turn off phone hold down vol down camera and power button at same time. It'll open cwm scroll too install zip from sd card and select the file you downloaded
So then all I would need to do then is download froyo 2.2.1...go into CWM...then flash/load it correct?
Yes look for ec05 stock prerooted. Its froyo android 2.2

You can use any available modem with any rom or cwm that you may be interested in. They are entirely seperate things. You can get the modems in the thread below. You need to use Odin to flash them. I believe there are sufficient instructions and videos.

For each new build, or software attempt at a build, they label it with a date code which corresponds with the baseband version or the modem. So EC05 is the accepted modem for Froyo. There have been many Gingerbread leaks so far, EF02, EF10, EG22, EH06 and EH17. They each came with an updated modem. However a lot of people have found it best to try these leaks and not update the modem and stay with the EC05 modem. The modem software basically tweaks the actual radios on the phone. So results vary by phone as to what would work best for you.
I feel helpless now, sorry ahead of time if someone instantly redirects me to a section of the website. I've been searching forums for almost 5 hours now and have gotten nowhere. I sent my phone in to get the brick fixed and had him root it at the same time... I'm running 2.3.4 kernel version 2.6.35.7 gb.eh17? So i'm assuming this is a stock rom? I have no cwm for my phone, i haven't been able to flash it or install it whatsoever, I get failed signature everytime. Now I understand that 2e as opposed to 3e (which I have) allows unsigned files to be installed, but I haven't been able to find a way to revert back to that.. There's kernels that I can download that come with cwm but those have root files in them too.. will this mess anything up? could I flash a kernel to my phone with the root files and in turn have cwm working? how do I know what kernels will work for my phone and firmware version specifically? I just want to do cool things to my phone now! I'm feeling i've wasted money to have it rooted since I can't do a damn thing with it right now.. SORRY for the long post, it's been 5 hours of running in circles and i'm quite frustrated. Any help at all is very much appreciated!!!
Lots of questions. First of all you can't flash anything in stock recovery not put out by Sprint or Samsung. Next you will need to use Odin to install CWM since no one click version works with GB. EH17 is a leaked ROM not official. Official version of GB is EI22. You can Odin in an EC05 ROM prerooted and then flash a EI22 prerooted ROM then if you want to change the modem flash the EC05toEI22 modem file. Here are some threads to help you:

This method you will lose all data so make sure your contacts are on Google and not the phone. Or export your contacts to the sd card.
thanks!! the links are broken but I believe I know where to go with this now, all I have to do is install a new rom/cwm via odin? which will just replace my stock "rom" I guess. I've been scared to even think about that considering that's how I bricked it the first time. Thanks for your time!
Which links are broken? If you are able to get into download mode it is never bricked.

Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance
it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.
just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?

Did you chdck the md5 after download? And also where did you download the stock tar? You may have been on oj6 and i cannot find the tar for that? I suggest downloading from sammy and use odin to flash.
