I did my research in and out of XDA w/o finding specific method on how to go about doing this :s From what I've read in these forums I found 2 different files from k0nane that, according to the people that posted them and my limited knowledge of this, lead me to believe that it will do what it is I am asking. One is "k0nane.info/rom/SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar", and the other is "k0nane.info/rom/acs-ec05-modem.tar". (being a new user I can't directly link to the files)
I would like to know which one is the one I need to make my phone EC05. Now that summer is here I'm interested in installing ROMs, themes and trying to brick my phone ^ .^ Thanks in advance
PS: If it isn't too much of a bother, where in Odin does one place a .tar file? I've only used Odin a few times a while back; last time to put DK28 on my Epic :3
You used the first one you named. You put it in the PDA slot in Odin.
The second one is only the EC05 modem, which is pretty much the "radio firmware".
Just know that Odin does wipe out everything on your phone except your SD card.
Is there a way to upgrade from DK28 without wiping your phone?
My phone is rooted and I have CWM v2.5.1.
I have Titanium installed.
Thanks.
Search the forums for user qbking77 I think is his nick he has excellent videos on how to use odin and other stuff. I have links in my sig too but not sure if my sig shows well using xda premium.

Is there a rooted version of EC05 that will work directly from DK28 without having to go back to DI18 and lose everything? Or is there a way to backup apps and restore after ODINing ?
you can backup everything with titanium. Apps, data, contacts.. everything.

Yup, just use titanium backup on a rooted phone to backup everything, Odin a prerooted EC05 tar and use titanium to restore.

So just to be sure....
1. Titanium backup
2. Odin to DI18
3. Upgrade to Ec05
If I have CWM 2.5.1 is it necessary to upgrade to latest version?
Is step 2 necessary or can I go directly to EC05?
Thanks again
U can get the stock ec05 tar here

Much obliged for all the replies
Yes, thanks as well.
So after ODIN a rooted phone, root privileges will be gone? So I will have to re-root?
Yep. You have to re-root.
Hey guys,
So, I ran EH06, and liked it, but I prefer EC05 (more stable). I tried to Odin back, followed the instructions, but for some strange reason the phone is stuck on Gingerbread. Any suggestions/explanations?..
What are the errors/where does Odin stop, what are you trying to flash, what file name?

No errors. Everything's cool when I Odin, everything says "successful", everything goes according to plan. And when the phone reboots, I get back to stock, but still on Gingerbread with the EH06 modem.

Just trying to go back to stock EC05 (planning to go to viperrom AFTER going back to stock). I used the files provided by qbking to do so, and it worked once before. But that was when I was on EG22. EH06 seems different...

That's a little freaky. Go to the 2nd post of that thread and use Heimdall and you can just do the modem.bin from the EC05 tar or anywhere else you can get it from.

Wait -- I just wanna be sure I got this right. I've been doing this for a few months now, so I THINK I sorta know what I'm doing, but I just wanna check to be sure.
So right now, I've got a firmware version of 2.3.4, a baseband version of EH06, and a build number of GINGERBREA.EH06. I CAN change the baseband to EB13, but when I do that the firmware and build number do not change.
Just to be sure, is there something I might have forgotten? I followed the directions, but I just wanna be sure.
And you didn't think to nand backup before going to eh06? Tsk tsk tsk.

See, that's the funny part: I DID make nand backup. And I tried to restore but it wouldn't let me. It kept saying "aborted".

....What's that?
Nand backup in CWM creates an MD5 checksum. If it was in any way corrupt,or incomplete, you could experience a succesful restore with issues. Or an unsucessful restore all-together.
.....So does this mea there's no hope for me then?
Not quite, if someone was willing to share their nand backup with you, you could always put that inside the clockworkmod folder found on your sd card and try that.

Then you are only Odining the modem which is the baseband. If you restore a nand backup from 3.1.0.1 it will put your kernel and ROM back on. If you want to be on EB13 or EC05 then you will need to flash a ROM for that or after Odining a stock tar and rooting do only Restore Advanced Data from a nand.
Also if you are getting MD5 mismatches there is a thread for trying to repair those.

Odin is not resetting my data... I have flashed full tars of stock deodexed, stock odexed and a tar called eg30 stock, none of them wipe my data right now... I have used these same tars in the past and they worked flawlessly .. I am familiar with odin and have never had this problem ... Why is odin not resetting my phone ? The tars completely flash and pass in odin .. Ive used diffrent ports and cables and bateries.. everytime i flash i still have all my apps ...
Also i cant redownload a tar right now ... my internet is down

I would just delete everything including Odin and start over. Redownload everything. The drivers,Odin. And see if that works. Once your Internet is back of course.

Flash stock odin tar
Factory reset
Done. The stock tar will remove root and restore kernel to original. The factory reset will wipe your data. All done easy peasy.
^ This. The Odin TARs on this forum do not wipe data because they do not include the data image file like you're used to from the OG Epic, which had official leaked TARs.

after watching the vid it is really tempting to try this EL13. I don't really have any issue with EK02 though. Has anyone went to EL13 and back to EK02 or do you have to go back to EG30 then EK02?

I did, but I only did it to make sure I could. lol. Basically if you flash to EL13 and you don't like it, flash back to EG30 and then flash to EK02. I did this all in CWM/Rogue Recovery. No need for odin.
Oh and btw, I didn't lose any data by flashing from 1 modem to another and back to another.
Just so everyone knows, it is hard to compare speed tests unless they are done simultaneously, it depends a lot on network congestion.

Even side-by-side phones can be connected to different towers or using different EV channels. You would need to monitor that info in ##DEBUG#.
So is it now confirmed that only the version that you need to enter the password for locks the Odin counter reset? Sorry, just woke up. Stayed up too late messing with my NS4G

If you flash the full tar, it changes the bootloader and breaks jig. CWM flash is fine. It is easy to reflash the old bootloader back though.

No, since there was no OTA you must use odin, or have clockworkmod to install.
I have been reading a few posts, and have been having a TON of problems with ICS, so I am going to go back to Gingerbread MIUI. Can someone please verify how I should do that?
I know I have to Odin el26 with CWM, but can I then just flash another ROM or do I have to do a full wipe (restore to stock via Odin) and then work my way from there?
Thank you in advance.

This works, as does the other methods I have read on here up until this point. This is personally how I do it. I odin EL26 CWM (no reboot option) then I yank the battery and turn back on going into CWM before phone boots. Once there, wipe everything and then restore nandroid backup. I have done this several times coming back to GB off of several ICS ROMS including MIUI4.
BTW, this will result yellow triangle from just using ODIN for the CWM file. I have a jig, so don't care. That triangleaway program might work also, but I haven't used it. If you don't care about the yellow triangle, then no matter.

Right, and no triangle problem with your choice either.
OK guys thanks for the replies. I do have a backup of a GB ROM. I am probably just going to Odin the el26 with CWM and just wipe and flash my GB ROM over again. I don't really care about the triangle, I just don't want to go through the hassel of flashing this, then Odin that to get CWM.
Or I can just do one Odin, get CWM, then flash from an ICS ROM to a GB ROM, thats probably the way I'm gonna go.
