stuck on EC05 O.o??? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i wanted to get to el30 so i flashed to stock to update to ei22 then flash the el30 update.zip
since i started rooting me epic ive had the di18 .tar and always use it to flash to stock
ive done this before and always update normally
but this time it updated to ec05 and now it says im up to date
i have done nothinggg so far
just odined to di18 (as i always doo)
and then updated to ec05
usually the ei22 msg shows up but its not
anyone know what i can do..? is there a flashable ei22 update somewhere..? ive looked but cant find
anyone know how i can get my phone to ota update? ive tried rebooting and updating everything else but android keeps saying its up to date but i know its lying to mee lol

There is a el30 flashable around here don't remember exactly but you should find the ec05.tar not the di18.... try that and you should be prompted to update to ei22 and then to el30

This^^^^^^^ everyone who uses this tar gets the prompt to update so it should still work.
Otherwise the update zip is linked with qbking's video here:

That will get you to EI22 from stock EC05.

where can i get the stock odib eb13
There's usually a .tar packed up with odin that is stock ec05 no root.....
The file should read something like "stock-sph-d700-odin.tar" or something along those lines
Do you want root or not because if you do still want it rooted you can just flash chris41g's stock ec05 plus rom through odin..... ill throw a link up in a few just in case......
yes please post a link i tried using samsungs tool but it dosent do crap
This might help
I don't know if you've tried this, but qbking77 has some really good videos on YouTube.
This might help:

Updateing used epic

Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks

You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol
Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?
Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone
Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.

Quick question on how to get to EL30?

Hi guys,
I'm running a rooted nightly CM7 build, and it's really great, however I've heard some really good things about the EL30.
I have two questions.
1. How can I get from my current build to EL30? Do I need to odin? If so can I get some links on what I need to do.
2. I forgot :S.
Thanks
Steps:
1. Find odin 1.85 it should be in the restore a bricked epic forum as well as the ec05.tar
2. Use the instructions and odin back to stock ec05, once on ec05 get on wifi and mess around till the prompt to update to ei22 comes up and install it.
3. Once on ei22 ill link you the update.zip you can flash in the stock recovery and you'll be good to go.

What possible goods things have you heard about EL30 that you don't have on CM7?

Yes, go to the development thread. Both EK02 and EL29 were officially released so both are full modems you can flash through either odin or cwm.

To be more accurate, both were "unofficially" released, so we have the full modems which can be flashed in odin or cwm. When they are "officially" released as OTA updates, we usually only get the patch modems, which won't work in ODIN.
There are links to all the modems (flashable in CWM) in my signature. You need to have a kernel EK02 or newer to flash full modems in CWM else it will hang. If you need an ODIN flashable modem, they are in the 2nd post of each of the respective ODIN links in my signature.
So I should just find a tar and pit for one of those and flash that through odin ? I heard that with eg31 you are unable to change it by flashing through odin and that an ota update was the,only way to really get it off

If you look at the 2nd post of all the ODIN links in my signature, it will have a link for the ODIN download and the individual tar files for modem, kernel, and ROM. In your case, if you just want the modem, just download the modem. The way I set it up, you ALWAYS use the PDA button for all the downloads. Don't use any other button in ODIN.
What you are reading with EG31 is old information. When EG31 first came out, we didn't have any FULL modems from Samsung/Sprint, so that's why once you had EG31, you couldn't go to any other version, not because you were prevented from doing so, but rather we didn't have any other modems available to flash in ODIN.
Now that we have all the modems, you can go to any modem you want in ODIN. In CWM you can do it also as long as your kernel is EK02 or newer.
Thank you very much that made my day

thanks guys it worked i went with the ek02 nodata mobile odin , it was a little scary cause it hung up on the modem.bin for about 2 minutes but sure enough all went well , thanks guys !

Is thre anyway to upgrade just baseband from EH17 to EL30?

I'm running the stripped EL30 stock GB rom, rooted and all that noise, but my baseband version is still EH17, obviously. Problem is I can't seem to find any zips to update from EH17 to EL30.
Everything makes it sound like somehow I have to downgrade to 05 or something first, but again, I can't find a zip for that either.
Outside of a whole ODIN rebuild, is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Nope... you have to odin in the ec05 and then flash the ec05 to el30.zip in cwm... its the only way... the modems are stickied in either general or development... I would guess development though...

Using Odin I dumped 05 back on, reboot, up'd to 22, then to 30, works like a champ.
I appreciate the help!
