Please Help Me Right Away..Please

Hello and thank you for looking at this, i have an epic unrooted that i updated to 2.2 with an update.zip. My epic usb is broken and i need to exchange it and they won't take it with 2.2 on it. I need an update.zip that puts my epic back to 2.1 stock. I need to be able to put it on my sd card and update through recovery. Like i said i don't have root. Please help me! Thank you in advance.

Theres a thread about how to return your phone to stock with odin, also check the wiki. Your best bet is to flash through odin to di18, our dg27, either works...

You can root your phone without usb. z4root does work for the epic.

this is the factory update zip. I copied a long time ago... This is a long shot but here it is, hope it work. ( I've never tried it )
View attachment update.zip

seems very small to revert me back to stock.
update..didn't work..thanks anyways.....i can't believe there isn't an update.zip for returning to stock without root........found like 100 evo stocks ones......frustrated..

This Tread may be your savior...Good luck

Oh also you might need to change the the file name to update in order to flash it in the stock recovery.

I did this when I first went to FROYO ( forgot who's post I got it from) If you have the factory ROM just rename name it... update.zip and try that, it worth a shot

i gave him that link earlier
he doesnt have clockwork installed

Easy fix man, break a battery pin off so the phone doesn't power on, and take it back saying it just died. They won't be able to boot it to check the rom at that time and should in store replace it with a refurb. I have done this once, when they didn't want to replace mine for screen wobble.

You could also intentionally flash a file that shouldn't have be flashed, to stick the phone at the boot logo.
Without being able to boot, they cannot reveal what rom is 'running'
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Just get a 12-24VAC power brick, like one used on a sprinkler timer. Drag the 2 bare leads from the output around the contacts on the back of the phone for battery, sdcard, antennas, etc... It'll roast the **** out of everything inside of the phone. They'll never know what ROM was on it after that.

Torrent for ICS Leak

Here is the torrent that is being shared to ease the original link. Created by carrett. This is an 727 skyrocket leak so autorotation will be off

Thanks and fast. Lets root this, can we Odin cwm?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICS FLASHING ARE.
1. DOWNLOAD ODIN AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR USB CABLE WITH YOU FOR DOING THIS. ONCE DOWNLOADED ODIN THEN UNZIP AND SAVE IT ON DESKTOP, NOW GO AHEAD OPEN ODIN.
2. MAKE SURE THERE IS NO CHECKMARK ON RE-PARTITION
3. CLICK ON PHONE AND FIND THE FILE IF ITS ZIPPED THEN UNZIP IT.
4. GO INTO DOWNLOAD MODE BY TURNING THE PHONE OFF AND THEN POWER + VOLUME DOWN BUTTON PRESSSED. THAT'LL TAKE YOU TO DOWNLOAD MODE.
5. ONCE IN DOWNLOAD MODE GO BACK TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PRESS START AND LET IT FLASH DON'T PULL YOUR PLUG AND LET THE PHONE RESTART BY ITSELF. ONCE DONE..
YOU'VE JUST FLASHED ICS WITHOUT "ROOT" AT THIS MOMENT..
SHOULD YOU WANNA GO BACK TO GB THEN YOU NEED TO FIND A STOCK 2.3.5 .TAR .ZIP FILE WHICH WE HAVE ON TOP PINNED WITH AT&T AND ROGERS STOCK . JUST FLASH THAT VIA ODIN AGAIN SAME PROCEDURE WAY AND YOU'RE GOOD AND BACK ON 2.3.5.
ALSO AS POSTED BY SOLICE . PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF INTERNAL SD CARD IT WIPES IT. THANKS
mod feel free to post this and modify it better for new users. THANK YOU

[Q] How to get back to EK02

I had to take my epic 4g touch into the sprint store for repair and they updraded the phone to EL29 How do I get back to the previous version?
Thanks in advance

Check out sfhub, he has a ton of oneclick odin restores. I'm sure ek02 is still being hosted. Or something like that, that would get you there) Check his signature.
(sorry, on my phone at work, can't search out the link... But I'm sure he has something.. Maybe pm him...)
Sent from my calculator watch.

Here is the direct link for EK02:

You can also find this link in the Auto Root sticky in development and in my signature.

And this will return me back to a stock EK02 gingerbread 3.6?

Yes, it will get you back to stock EK02.
If you want root, use the Auto Root package, Option A.
If you want CWM, after rooting with Option A, use Option C to install EK02+CWM
Backup everything important of course.
You can try the NoData version to see if your data can be preserved (sometimes downgrading won't work) or if you don't mind restoring your data, just do the Full version that resets your data. It will definitely work regardless of whether you are downgrading.

Thanks for the help so far. Could you tell me what CWM is?
And if i do this will sprint be able to tell? I dont want to void my warrenty.
I just want the dang phone back the way it was yesterday.
Thank you again.
PS I dont mind having to resore any data. I really dont have much on it
thanks again

CWM is clockwork mod recovery. If you didn't have it before, then don't worry about it. It is used to install custom ROMs, themes, make backup images, etc.

If you are just installing the EK02 ODIN OneClick, it will look exactly like stock. Sprint will not be able to tell. It does not increase your flash count, nor does it trigger the yellow triangle. Root isn't installed in the EK02 package. If you want it, it is a separate step.

Then I would just use the Full EK02 ODIN OneClick restore. It will get you back to stock and reset your data. Then just restore the little data you have.

Ok...
I'm about ready to do this.
I've watch some videos and I just want to be sure i understand the steps
1. I downloaded file SPH[D710.EK02 CL704398-oc
2. I extracted the file and created the odinoc folder with 546MB file in it.
3. I disabled my passcode
4. I downloaded the samsung drivers and installed them on my desktop computer.
5. Now as i understand it, I put the phone in odin/download mode, attach my usb cable to my phone then hit start in the odin oc.
am I correct so far?
Then I just sit back and let it do its thing
Have I missed anything or am I incorrect in the steps?
Thanks for your patience

Between steps 4&5 you should run the -OneClick.exe file by double-clicking on it.
The after running it, boot your phone into DL mode using one of the two methods.
The modem.bin is the last thing to flash and it takes around 2 minutes, so don't pull the plug early thinking it has hung.

ok...
when i click the .exe file that opens the EK02 factory restore screen correct?
Once thats up and running I boot the phone by holding the power on and vol down together correct?
Then attach the usb cable, then hit start correct?
Thank you again

You can have it attached while you power on. You'll have to hit I think vol up to confirm entering download mode, and then on the computer the com port should be yellow in odin oc.

[ROM] (6/23/12) NANDROID Restore Stock ICS 4.0.4 Galaxy S III T-Mobile T999

NANDROID Restore Stock ICS 4.0.4 Galaxy S III T-Mobile T999​for T-Mobile GS3 T999 only!​
(This Nandroid restore is not rooted and is using the T-Mobile Stock Kernel.)​
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "T999-Stock.rar" file parts extracted to your internal SDMemory in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/T999-Stock directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "T999-Stock" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
​
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select T999-Stock and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

As far as rar files , well, that's an old school computer thing. As far as what is offered here is a Nandroid restore to get to stock that you restore from ClockworkMod recovery.
1. There is not an oden restore available yet for our phone. And is only needed if you really bone up your phone.
2. Nandroid restore can be done without having to have a PC on hand. You can do it from your phone, anywhere.

Downloading this now then will work with base.

THANK YOU!
This totally saved my behind! I used Titanium Backup to restore too much and it messed up some important system files. Until you posted this, I couldn't send text messages or make calls.
THANK YOU!

This is a totally n00b question, sorry.
I put this on an sdmicro card as an insurance policy, under /clockworkmod/backups, stuck it into the back of the S3.
But when i boot into clockwork (from clockworkmod.tar), it doesn't see the sdmicro card at all - it sees the internal 32 GB as '/sdcard' and there doesn't seem to be a way to get CWM to find the one on the actual sdcard (even if I mount sd_external). Is there a way to do that on this thing, or just make sure you copy to internal 'sdcard' over usb? Which I've done now.

it seems that the location of the external is different now so that's probably why you can't see it in recovery
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

has anyone "pulled" the stock recovery .img file for the T999 (if it's even possible to grab it somehow?)? It would be great to have a .tar to flash back to that... unless the international stock recovery tar works for it?

unzipped odin (download all 4 files in folder) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g4c2i0i0q2kw5c4/87BZrLlod4
stock kernal tar if needed https://dl.dropbox.com/s/m00jzrxv9tphr93/boot-stock-spr-l710palen.tar?dl=1
If you cant use odin you could use adb.
Download stock kernel boot.img https://dl.dropbox.com/s/90o7ch8dduooje4/boot.img?dl=1
Put on root of sd (adb push boot.img /data/media/)
then do adb shell
When you get the # type this line:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7
or since Im such a nice guy FLASHABLE ZIP for recovery https://dl.dropbox.com/s/z6q3z30ojpl9yz8/stockkernel.zip?dl=1

i have odin working now... idk what adb is??? i downloaded the stock kernel but i cant select it in odin because it is a zip file... idk what dropbox is either... i think i downloaded it when i rooted but that was over a month ago so im not sure... im gonna google adb real quick and see if i cant get that going
....do i just boot the downloader screen for adb like odin??

adb looks more difficult than my experience level. i dont know hardly anything about programming.. so if anyone knows how to push the zip file from odin plz let me know... im kind of stuck and i need my phone for work tomorrow....
thanks again

The zip file is to flash in recovery. Adb is also done in recovery.
The .tar is for Odin. Its the link that says stock kernel tar if needed. Load that in the pda slot of odin. And you should know what adb is, if our gonna mod your phone adb is your best friend. Especially in a situation like this.
You should do some reading before you brick your phone.

i reflashed the tar file in odin... nothing still bricked... i downloaded adb and it started downloading all these images.. is that normal? like huge files i think???
ill try the adb thing, if you can walk me through it that would be great.... i will start it back up and let the files download i guess.. i have the stock kernel zip ready so i just dont know how to use adb....
the adb i saw on youtube looks like he is in mscommand or whatever that is called, but the adb i have is like a white box with a bunch of lines an stuff goin on
