How to Flash Back to 2.1 using a Macbook? + Other questions

Hey Guys, I'm new here and I'm sorry if this has been posted before...
I'm a noob when it comes to installing and flashing roms on phones. I downloaded the leaked version of Froyo to my Epic 4G and it as easy to install, although things are broken such as GPS and my questions are:
When the official OTA update comes out, Will I be able to update from DK28 to the Official version?
Also, How can I flash back to stock 2.1 using a Macbook? I know people use something called Odin for Windows, what about us Mac users?
Appreciated

If you want the OTA update you'll have to go back to DI18. Most people, including me, will wait for some of the devs on here to cook their ROMS with the new version once released (if ever).

Thanks man, and If I want to try other roms.. Can I easily install them using Odin in a PC or are there different methods for each rom?

If all the ROM's you want to try are based on the same build (i.e. DK28, DI18, etc) then you won't use Odin or Heimdall. Custom ROM's are flashed from clockworkmod recovery. Be sure to take your time and read up on what you want to do before attempting. I'd suggest reading through the wiki and the other sticky's that will introduce you to the world of customizing your epic.

Utterly Confused on how to Get EC05

Ok All I am getting really confused.
I want to update to the latest froyo and keep my root.
I would also like the latest radio, this all seems pretty damn easy however I read all these different ways but only if you have this version rom or radio, etc.
Do I need to use Odin to flash one of the many files I have found.
Do I use clockwork?
What about the radio, I have an old DK17 one.
This is my setup now:
Unlocked Epic
Froyo 2.2.1 - Epic Experience
radio - DK17
Hardware revision is 5
At this point I am willing to donate to get an answer,
Thx,
Force

Best bet is to post in the general section or Q&A next time, posting in development is a nono and will really only serve to get you flamed.
All custom ROMs available right now are based on EC05 so just flash one of them.

I am having a hard time finding a good custom rom that is based on this. I have a new custom rom loaded now and its not.
Also this still leaves the radio and how to update it.
Sorry about posting here, I didn't think this was a general topic as it deals with flashing & roms. But move it if necessary
Thx,
Force

Syndicate ROM Frozen by ACS is always a good decision. As for the modem update, it is either included in the ROM or you can find a flashable zip for it. I'm on the phone so I can't grab
a link for you, but I know it's around.
EDIT: found it, flash this with Odin and it will update your modem only.

I'm not sure about the T-Mobile version of the ROM (not sure of any customizations they included), but you can download stock ROM's from the link below:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
Obviously the best way would be to restore a ClockwordMod Backup of your original configuration, but I'm guessing such a backup was never done?
Just out of curiosity, why do you wish to return to a stock ROM?
Hope this helps

Here's a question. I'm a proud owner of a GT-i9000 SGSI and my sister has a HTC Desire HD.
She's recently been complaining about various issues with the phone itself. I haven't had a look at it yet but I'd like to know what the most current stable stock ROM is and how to install/flash.
That link that ashleyayling has supplied takes you to a page full of ROMs for something called ACE? Is that Galaxy Ace or is that a build version or something?
I've tried searching and ROM shows up plenty of times but nothing regarding stock ROMs. TBH, I haven't looked through all 39 pages of the search but I thought maybe someone will be able to help me?
To summarise:
1. Latest (stable) stock ROM
2. How to install/flash
Many thanks.

1. The link provided above is a full list of stock roms in RUU format. Ace was the codename for the Desire HD, so anything referring to Ace is usually the DHD
2. have a look in the development section, there's heaps of threads to help you out with this one, I don't think it would be an easy straightforward answer for someone to give you here (that's why there's whole threads dedicated to it)

Not to barge in on someone else needing help (Noob to the forums) but wondered if you can point me in the right direction! Desperately in need of help as I just killed My Rooted then OTA updated (killing the root) DHD. I was trying to root it again using the Ace Hack Tool and it's now stuck at the T-Mobile loading screen! I'm stumped as to what to do as no matter what I put on the SD it won't update it to work. And can't update via USB as it won't go into the OS. It does flash up quickly some writing while going into the bootloader but all I can make out is Image not Found... Please help! ATM its an expensive paperweight!

Sorry, I looked at the link given and there are loads of .exe downloads.
Can someone please say which one is the latest Stock RUU, I am selling my phone tomorrow and need to put it back to stock, if someone can just say which one I need to download.
Im guessing I just install it like I do with any custom rom through clockword mod.
Will I have root after the stock RUU has been installed? I dont think it matters if it is rooted or not so i'm not bothered too much about that, but i'm not sure they'll be happy if its on ICS MIUI which isn't 100% stable

[REQ] Stock ROOTED Gingerbread ROM

Hi folks,
could someone pls upload a ROOTED version of the stock Gingerbread ROM for Desire? Its version 3.14.405.1. Please just stock and rooted, so without any modifications or add-ons. I want to keep my phone stock, but rooted
I was searching the development section and the Desire ROM Index Thread, but all links are dead
Thanx in advance!
/sorry if this is the wrong section, but I did not wanted to spam the development thread/

Your request is weird, if you want a rooted stock firmware, just install the stock firmware then go root.

got it!

thanks @rincage
CLOSE!

If only XDA had a search function. Man, that would spare us sooooooooo many useless threads. Shall we petition the Admin for it?

Why would anyone use stock ROM, without a2sd / data2ext /etc scripts, as internal memory is sooo small? If you want stock with mentioned script included, I recommend Supernova: http://supernova.droidzone.in/ I was very happy with it, have upgraded to ICS though.

[Q] How to remove the ICS 3 button menu on RUU 1.29.980.11 (Australia Optus)

Hi all,
I have the latest stock version of Australia Optus (i.e. RUU 1.29.980.11) and I am looking to find how to remove that crappy ICS 3 button menu.
I have tried to search the forum, but it does not have the one that is suitable to my phone.
If anyone can do it or point me to the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
P.S - I can't post/reply to threads in development section since I only have less than 10 posts. I tried to ask endursa in the thread, but can't.

Search harder. There is a mod for odexed (i.e. stock) but you need to be rooted and hence bootloader unlocked.
So if you're going to do all that you might as well flash a custom ROM e.g. one with this option baked, or say ARHD then add the mod.
there is stickies on how to root and custom ROM in the dev section. please read carefully lol.
If you're a total noob at this you MIGHT want to wait until the official 1.29.980.11 RUU exe is made available by someone. If you brick the RUU is your get out of jail card (basically lets you flash back to stock factory). Unfortunately due to HTC's stupid S-ON and locking in general, we cannot flash even an older RUU say 1.28, as when we updated to 1.29 stock it updated a bunch of stuff like HBOOT etc. that right now custom roms cannot touch.

I'm also looking for a solution to this.
I've seen the odexed solution but that only seems to work on 1.29.401.11 stock

There's one for deodexed too...
Look in the ARHD thread as a compatible mod
