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.

Right now, I have a rooted Epic with DK28 on it. I want to upgrade to either EC05 or maybe a gingerbread ROM. I've read through this site, watched videos posted by qbking77 and I think I have confused myself...
I think I can Odin from DK28 to EC05 but that will wipe all the data off my phone and I will need to reroot it? Then, if I root it again, I can restore stuff using Titanium Backup?
I have read stuff about going back to DI18, and then upgrading to EC05. Is there an advantage to this method?
And as far as I can tell, I can not go directly from DK28 to a gingerbread ROM?
There is no advantage to going to DI18 then upgrading to EC05.
The best method for you would be to use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings, using ODIN to install a prerooted copy of EC05 then using titanium backup to re-install all your apps and data.
You can go straight from DK28 to a Gingerbread rom as long as you flash the modem in ODIN but I would recommend holding out for an official release if you like to have themes and custom kernels.
Thanks.
I need to root EC05 to be able to use Titanium Backup to reinstall everything, correct?
I can't read today. Where do I find a prerooted copy of EC05?
I believe this one is it
http://k0nane.info/rom/SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar
If not it is pretty easy to just re-root it.
Thanks
Once I have EC05, I can install custom ROMs, right?
You didn't need EC05 to flash custom roms, just the EC05 modem and a compatible clockworkmod (since you were still on DK28 I'm assuming you're on an outdated version of clockwork too).
You could always Odin in the EF02 leak and have Gingerbread in one step. Then root and restore your data from Titanium.
Here is the thread for a prerooted EF02 leak ROM:

Prolly. I really have no idea. After spending some time messing around when I got DK28 and thinking I nearly broke my phone, I decided to just leave it alone for awhile. But now I am bored and want to mess with things again

This is me a month ago All I have to say is thanks to qbking77 I was able to properly upgrade my phone to EC05 and flash SyndicateROM 1.2. I believe he has a video for each of the steps you need to take (odin to ec05, root, flash, install/update cwm then flash desired rom and, if needed, kernel). I followed his tutorials exactly and have a faster, more responsive phone and aquired it with little risk. Big thx to XDA for the info, ACS for the ROM and qbking77 for helping a noob out ^ -^

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.

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.

thats the trick thing about odin and epic
always when i have to odin my phone i need to pull the battery and sd card then it doesnt fail
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.

Ok, so the new Stock EL30 + modem is out... but it does not include CWM or root.
Could someone tell me what the fastest route from that stock reload to CM9 would be? I don't need the super detailed steps... just maybe references to the right working root thread followed by the CWM and MTD jump?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im sure there are a bunch of different approaches... maybe someone has it down pat?
Flash the gb3a.tar flash cwm5 through odin...flash cm9 boot back into cwm and flash the gapps viola back on cm9.

Thank you for the reply... so could you help me a little?
What is gb3a?
Also, would ODINing the CWM5 automatically bring me to MTD? If not, I don't think CM9 auto-converts... or does it?
Thanks again.
In the xda search "epic gb kernel sources" and look for the thread with that title by mkasick. Find the .tar download it.
Flashing the cwm5 will allow you to flash cm9 and cm9 will check your partition and convert you to mtd.

Ok... so... you think this will work?
1. ODIN new EL30 stock w/Modem w/ repartition
2. ODIN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307980&highlight=mkasick (gb3a in pda slot??)
3. ODIN CWM (in pda slot??)
4. Boot CWM and flash CM9
5. Boot CWM and flash Gapps
does that look right?
Are you already on mtd? If so repartition if still on bml do not.
And yes you hit the nail on the head

Yep, currently on EI22 modem with MTD and CM9 alpha 2.
Want to flash the stock and get the new modem then go to Alpha 4. So yeah, I will need to re-partition.
Thanks again... if this goes smooth (I will likely test it tonight), I will put it out in general as a guide and credit you for the guidance.
Um dude you can just download the el30 modem.tar for odin and flash it no need to re root just flash the newest alpha if you'd like.

I'm pretty sure you cannot do that if you are MTD... unless you want a soft brick.
I think all ODIN activity is supposed to be done BML only.
Speaking of, the CWM is BML only... does the CM9 convert the CWM? I know CM7 does, but not sure about CM9.
Nope I just odined ec05 eh17 and el30 to test on mtd and I'm still talking with ya so no soft bricks here

Hmmm. well that would save me a LOT of time then. And I just watched the QBKING vid, so looks like it is doable. Another question... I noticed he used ODIN 1.61. Can 1.85 be used?

No that is incorrect. Modem flashing through clockwork is through BML or BML flashable CWM. You can Odin anytime and any modem (except EI22 since we don't have a modem bin for that).
