Is there way to downgrade from DK28?

My brother accidentally installed it on his phone and wants to go back to stock 2.1.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

The easiest way is to use Odin to flash it back to stock DI18, but this will return it to a factory setting, as in he will have to redownload his apps and contacts, unless he has them saved to gmail, in which case those will show up as soon as he enters his gmail info into the phone.
The other, more time consuming way is to flash the modem bin only through Odin, and then through ClockworkMod (if it doesnt have it applied already, find the one click root and recovery thread in the Dev section), flash the stock DI18 rom directly over what is there without wiping the data.
For info on how to do either of these, check the wiki (its a sticky up at the top of this section) or do a search... usefull terms are odin, cwm, clockworkmod, etc.

Thank you.ha

Lol how do you accidentally do something when you have to odin to get there? Glad you got it taken care of though.

There is also a zip that is flashable with cwm. Some people have upgraded that way.

Me thinks you would have a tough time unrooting with no processor

this would be a hard process... never thought bout that lol good call!

BBlunts456,
Do you have a TEP plan on the phone? If so, Sprint will replace it for free if the problem is electrical and not due to user error/abuse (like a physically damaged connector). I had this exact problem this past week. They will only accept it if you have stock firmware I was told though.
Anyway, I'm assuming you have clockworkmod and can still flash .zip files from your SD card.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
If you flash the link ReRFS Format Stock ROM EC05 v1.01 you will end up with a stock kernel, stock RFS filesystem, and stock unrooted EC05. You will retain CWM recovery though, so you can always flash a new custom rom. However, if you want to go back to 100% stock, like I needed to, you can flash the file above and then epic4g.stock.recovery.ec05.zip. This will bring your phone back to a state where sprint will accept it. Wiping out the CWM and flashing the stock recovery makes rooting it again a very difficult prospect, as your USB doesn't work, so that's a one way street. I went to a Sprint repair store and am getting a replacement phone for free under the TEP due to the USB hardware not working electrically. But, they told me they would only take it with stock firmware, so I needed to follow the procedure I outlined above. Hope that helps.

Did you attempt the manual update zip via flashing it in CWM?
Did you flash a custom GB based ROM?
Thanks.

If you followed the instructions right, you've already hosed what was previously your "stock" rom.
First, did you make a backup?
If so, wipe and restore.
If now, flash a new rom.
Did you already update the modem?
If its still on EC05, flash an EC05 rom.

You don't Odin to flash a rom, so that's beside the point right now.
Don't get flustered here, I am trying to help.

Dude, just restore your nand backup.

If you want to go back to stock and become unrooted, go to youtube and search samsung epic return to stock. Watch qbkings video. You will need the ec05.tar file, samsung drivers for your pc, and one additional file that should come with odin, and a valium. There are turtorials everywhere around here, but for step by step "easy" instructions, use qbkings video.

Two options if odin doesn't see your phone. Try a different cable I bought mine at staples 15 dollars for a better 6 foot cable. Second option is remove the battery hold down 1 and power insert battery. That should get you back in. Then odin to stock ec05. Find a rom of your choice like randomrom thunderhawk. After it installs use the ec05 to ei22 modem flash. That is the method that I upgraded worked like a champ.

If odin doesn't see your phone, try disabling your antivirus and firewall that was causing me problems a while back with Norton I think.

[Q] Rooting slowing phone down

Hey guys, I need some help,
I have been using CleanGB v1.1.2 for a long time. Recently, I've been having a huge problem. Whenever I use ANY ROM, after about ten to twenty minutes, my phone just becomes *slow* as molasses. It's unnerving. It could be at the bootloader screen... it could be in the ROM itself... but if I'm using ANYthing but the stock ROM with everything unrooted, the phone just goes slow-as-*&#^-as-*&&& and I have to pull the battery out after ten to twenty minutes.
Any ideas?
My ROMs aren't corrupted. I've tested them all and I've tried installing and rooting from different computers with the same problem. I have tried CleanGB v.1.1.2 and People's 2.2.1 and Thunderhawk 5.1. All have the same problem after ten to twenty minutes.
EDIT - I should add that I have rooted (even as of today) other people's Epic 4Gs and none of them have had the same issue as mine, so I know there's something going on with my phone, in particular.
The only thing I can think may be doing this is that I use the CWM flash + the FC09 rom method to root my phone. Maybe I should be rooting it using Odin as I used to do back in the day.
When I go back *from* the root to the unroot, I always re-partition and time reset in Odin with a stock ROM. No problems after that.
Hoppingfully yours,

Sadie, I root by odining cwm with auto reboot unchecked, pop battery out and in, 3 finger to cwm and flash ROM of choice. It definitely sounds like a strange issue.

Hey KG,
Yeah, I think I need to go back to performing the rooting procedure from ODIN. I just can't seem to find the links to that online. God, I've turned into an ultra-n00b again.
What do *you* think is the best way to root using ODIN? I think the problem is that I've been rooting using the easier, flash-to-CWM in Odin and then flash the rooted ROM from CWM. I think I need to do it all from ODIN and repartition at that level.
Epic Touch or S3 here I come! LOL!

This sounds like a rogue app sucking up your memory. Does it happen on stock with all your apps restored?

It happens with every Rom I use. When I flash my phone back to stock the problem goes away.

Is it happening with your new phone as well? I recommended flash the rom of your choice do not install any apps for a day or two. If all is fine install one app a day till you find which app. My guess would be a app that you use that needs root because it doesn't happen on stock. Just my 2 cents.

How to delete everything/return to factory stock unrooted?

I'm having some issues with my phone rebooting or powering off frequently, especially when I plug it into a charger. I don't think I have the power button issue. I suspect it is the battery (although the battery was replaced Oct 2012 at the sprint store) and have another on the way. I want to exhaust every possible option in testing, so I want to take my phone to off the shelf stock. I currently am running rooted sprint JB, and I am looking for a way to remove all user files on internal storage as well as the tweaks (have comadose installed and had kobridge before) just to make sure it is not from a bad flash. I know how to go back to stock unrooted GB27 with Nodata via ODIN, however I want to make sure ALL tweaks and user files are removed too. Ideas?

The only thing I can say is if you have a CWM recovery installed boot into it and wipe all storage areas with that, then use the ODIN one-click RESTORE version (not NODATA as RESTORE will wipe all user data from the phone). That's about the best I can do for you. I just did it the other day to my phone and it wiped literally everything from the device, including the custom boot-screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954

A slip of the tongue, I meant restore, not nodata. I can mobileodin el29 directboot. What should I do in CWM to ensure all internal storage, system data, and tweaks is completely wiped? I usually use JB format all x2 but that doesn't delete pictures etc, so I am assuming it's leaving possible conflicts from flashing roms

OK, I flashed el29 directboot to CWM, formatted EVERYTHING I had an option to in CWM, did a restore to stock unrooted but it still knew my wifi password when the phone powered on which makes me think not all the data had been reset...

Try stock recovery do a "factory reset"after that it should ask you for wifi password.

If you are rooted, use Mobile Odin Lite to flash a stock EL29 KERNEL (.tar). - I would highly suggest this particular way as it's how I do it and I've never had any issues doing it with Mobile Odin Lite. Mobile Odin Lite
If you're going to use CWM to flash the stock EL29 KERNEL, use the .zip version.
You could also always try the One-Click EL29 KERNEL, but I've never used a One-Click before so I can't help you on that process but I'd imagine it's the same as flashing the ROM with a One-Click.

I used mobile odin lite to flash EL29 directboot kernel. This allows the use of CWM after flashing the kernel. Once in CWM I formatted everything I could in CWM and formatted cache and dalvik. From there, I used a one click desktop ODIN to flash stock sprint unrooted. IAfter all this, I am still having issues with constant restarts. I replaced the battery and am still having the problem. I am unsure if this is software or I have a power button issue. Does anyone have any tips I can try?

Well, then I'd probably say it's a power button issue, but I've also heard of moisture in the charger port (not necessarily liquid damage, could just be moisture in the air) might cause random bootloops as well. Could be a number of things, but you've stamped out your issue from being software related (as far as I can see). Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you.

Depending on what stock ROM you want there's a one click you run through odin that's wipes the internal memory as well

Oh man... This is bad. You don't have to do all that confusing stuff!
Here is the link for the stock FL24 build for E4GT D710:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=116
Download that file, run it, put phone into recovery, plug phone into computer and press start once "COM" shows up on the one-click...the usual. When I use this, once the phone boots up I always just go into settings-->privacy-->restore phone and check format USB (that is if you want everything deleted off your SD card). I back everything up to my 64GB removable sd card before I do this.
Hope I helped!

I go back to ICS because, at least in my area, 4.1.2 JB has not gone OTA which, imo, you can't go wrong with it. It's stable and it's just what I do. I'll eventually switch to a stock JB build for a one-click restore, just not yet. I'm not living under a shell I know JB has gone official.

JB is not an area specific thing... You can only officially get it over the wire from Samsung's site or by using kies. They will not do it over the air. So no matter where you are in the world, JB is official for all three variants of the E4GT.
ICS is the worst thing to hit the E4GT and is not stable. You obviously do live under a shell if you think it is. IMO, CM10.1 is more stable.
So, let's try not to make poor excuses with completely wrong information when posting next time.

Rough night for me. My bad. All I am saying is that you should take more time to read. A little bit of bad advice could render someone's phone unusable. Even though your advice was decent, you could have possibly left someone in the dark when it comes to a much better version to use.
Like you said, mistakes are made, but some mistakes can cost hundreds of dollars. Its better to know what you are talking about and if you aren't sure, search for the answer.

Yeah I gotchu maynee..no worries, I was just kinda posting what I do and I still don't really think running a ics one-click versus a 4.1.2 one-click is a hundred(s) dollar midtake. For some reason though I hadn't even thought about downloading a 4.1.2 one-click. probably a lot easier and hassle free?

Its not that it is a costly mistake, but it can be quite troublesome. I was saying that one should know every detail of something before posting. I have seen many a brick happen do to someone saying to do one thing that was completely wrong. So even if it has no potential of bricking you, take into account that it could just be wrong.
GB27 Is the best in terms of stock ROMs. People that say otherwise either don't know what they are talking about or it's horrible user error and misinformation.
