So far Ive had nothing but issues with this phone... rooting went fine, but after flashing carbon rom i stopped connecting to 4g. Tried a port of aosp as well, same happened. So i used the flashable zip located here to return to stock, and got an error after the reboot saying "could not mount /preload", but it seemed to finish successfully. Once booted, still no 4g. So i decided to use an odin one click from here but it failed at sboot.bin. now it wont boot... Ive been working with android for a while, never had this many issues (except trying to get jb on the infuse... that was fun . So i guess my goal now is just to get it fully functional again (including 4g), and if possible a TW based rom with working 4g...
On a side note, all of my flashes were clean, and i was using the stock kernel most of the time (tried to use plasma but kept getting phone FCs...) and Im 99% sure all the files i used were for this phone varient (L900, right)
Any help guys?
EDIT: I also realize after hours of reading that 4g WAS an issue with recent builds due to the new RIL blobs, but that doesnt explain why stock wont connect...???
Maybe a bad download? A couple of those one click files have been wanky for me in the past. Which one did you use?

Having the same issue here. Good to know its not me. Recently went back to stock/unrooted after having issues with PATB's latest release. Noticed when I got back to stock, I had no 4G. So, I've since rooted and loaded Synergy's latest build. ROM is great, but still no 4G. I've tried updating PRL, FIRMWARE and making sure I'm on CDMA/LTE. I wouldn't think its a bad DL since its 3 different ROMS doing the same thing... Looking for help too

Are the links not clickable? The link for both files should be in my first post. As far as a bad DL, it passed the md5, so im not sure why it failed... does anyone have a working tar of the LJC stock? This isnt even my phone, my friend needs it back before work tomorrow. Thats what happens when you get cocky. You think youve got things down pat then things end up broken :/ just shows how careful you need to be i guess...
EDIT!!
got it back working! turns out the bootloader wont write if your on the updated stock rom, so i used one that doesnt need to write the BL. also, this tar.md5 completely restored functionality, including 4g! so if your having issues, use the tar.md5 from here . its an older version of stock, but it works!
there is also a one click file, but i cannot verify if it works or not.

I won't recommend this one as it was a build based on an update zip. Please use MC2 instead or Billard412's Back to LJC stock zip if needed.

This should help a few people out. Thanks to dfgged, we now have stock Odin files. There has been minimal testing of these, but they do in fact work to help recover. It won't fix everything, but if you had to go back to stock for warranty reasons, this would be better than having a really messed up ROM. Currently, I only have the System and Kernel. Both are untouched, minus the System dump being rooted, which was required to get the dump. Flash in Odin via the PDA button. I will also work on getting the rest of the usable images posted, and will post a CWM flashable package for stock, stock deodexed, and debloated then as well for DJ20.

So I flashed dl09 followed by both above and I'm still stuck at the Samsung screen...wtf?
If you have a Fascinate, why did you flash these files? If you have a Continuum, why did you flash DL09?

The only thing that is confirmed to work as far as going from the Fascinate to the Continuum are the radios. If you get a botched up baseband, you can flash a Fascinate radio to a Continuum (and probably the other way if we had Continuum radios, but we don't), but that is the only thing that is cross-compatible that I've seen. Maybe you could get most of a ROM to work as well, but you'd loose your softkeys as well as the ticker functionality if you didn't have the proper framework files.

I just searched the entire Continuum sub-forum, and there is no mention anywhere that DL09 from the Fascinate works on the Continuum. The only thing I found close was mention that the DL09 baseband works, but there is no mention of anyone using DL09 on their Continuum. I even searched at Android Central and Android Forums, and no one anywhere has flashed a full DL09 that is recorded at XDA/AC/AF.

Flashing the modem doesn't cause the phone to stop booting, so something else is likely the problem.

hi everyone..
having an issue with this recovery...i have used this file twice before to recover the wife's continuum.. however last night it wouldn't work.. meaning, it flashes in ODIN just fine, gives me "success" however when the phone reboots, nothing has flashed and it is exactly the same as before flashing..
i have red cwm on the phone, and have tried clearing everything (cache, dalvik, data/factory reset, mounted all partitions and wiped those) i also tried flashing the kernel which seemed to work.. however it still will not reset to factory.. i used the same file i have on my computer that worked 2x before, and even re-downloaded the one posted here and tried that as well.. nothing..
it appears for some reason the phone accepts the connection and/or files, but won't "run" them if that makes any sense...
i also have 2 nandroid backups that i tried to restore, which is the factory setup..and it hangs at the samsung logo (i gave up after 20 mins and pulled battery) .. and the second nandroid takes me to the deodexed/basic rom that was built here.. which works but has issues..
im trying to get back to complete stock.. i have also tried using superoneclick to unroot, but the program gives me an "error 22" when pushing rage, and locks up..
i have tested adb, and it will connect to phone, but NOTHING can be pushed or pulled using the commands..
im lost here.. anyone have any ideas?

i did not convert to voodoo...however i will check that in the voodoo section just to be certain its not toggled..im very familiar with voodoo, as i ran it on my fascinate for a long time .. i am using factory cable as well.. i will edit the post if it comes to fruition that it did..i never flashed a kernel - unless the one with the ROM here was voodoo..but i dont remember hearing sexy lady telling me anything when i flashed it
this is SO frustrating..it worked 2x before.. im assuming something is borked with r/w somewhere..but i havent a clue where to look to change it..
it boots to blue recovery, run update.zip to red..
under mounts and storage (that i cleared all on before) it currently reads all mounted except /dbdata which is unmounted..

any chance we can have the OP links updated, please, i tried downloading the files but links are broken
Here is the update that everyone has been waiting for At the moment, I'm only providing the modem, and rooted, stock, deodexed version of the ROM. There will be a cleaned up version to go along with all of this in due time, but we're currently working out some problems with it. I would like to note that despite this being the Froyo update, it is not without its own set of problems, and odds are you may never see another update outside of this from anywhere. However, the benefits of getting Froyo will outweigh the problems with it for most people, so have at it.
You will need a few things to get this, first, the downloads list here will be needed (obviously). You'll also need to have CWM setup and know how to use Odin. Heimdall will also work for those of you not on Windows, but I'm not providing any instructions for flashing using Heimdall. Also note that you will want to wipe data or perform a factory reset before booting into Froyo to avoid any problems. While you may get away with not doing it, you could end up with several problems, so my recommendation is to wipe data. Also, you can flash the ROM first, or flash the modem first, which ever you want to do. There isn't really a required order for it, as long as you do both parts.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download everything you need.

CWM update.zip
Put the ROM zip and CWM update.zip on your SD Card

FAQ
How can I donate to you for this?
You can either click the "Donate to me" button above my avatar, or go through this link. Don't feel obligated to donate though, as Verizon should have given this to you (the users) long ago.
Can I still receive updates after flashing this?
You cannot receive updates after flashing this unless you revert back to DL17, which is the latest official software released by Verizon and Samsung.
If I can receive updates on this, how can I restore back to DL17?
I've been sending this to several people already that have had problems with their phones. If you need to revert back to DL17 for any reason, download this. You will need 7-zip or similar to extract it. Once you have the .tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin via PDA like you did for flashing the modem to get Froyo.
Can I return my phone to Verizon for warranty repair/service with this on my phone?
No. If you need any sort of help with your phone from Verizon, you will need to have the stock DL17 ROM on your phone. Anything else and you have voided your warranty and Verizon and/or Samsung will not have to do anything to help you. See the above question for a package to restore your phone to the latest stock software.
Are there any bugs in this release?
Yes there are, just as there is with any software. I do not know what the bugs are though off hand though as I have not been using this update. I also cannot say whether any of the problems you may have will ever get fixed, seeing as you can't even get a straight answer on why the update has been taking so long.
Is xxx modification/theme compatible with this?
Odds are that it isn't. All of the current themes and modifications for DL17 will not work on this package. They will all need to be updated to be able to work. Given that this is a relatively new release, this could take some time, especially given that it is the summer and people are on vacation (I'm looking at you trailblazer ). We will work though to try and get all of the mods ported from DL17 to EC03 so that you don't have to give up anything to upgrade.
Will you release a "clean ROM" based on this?
Yes, and it is already in progress. I have sent it out to a couple people already to ask for feedback and any issues. Once they say it is ok, I'll create a new thread with the cleaned up version. There is currently no ETA on when it will be released though.
Are there any other kernels I can use with this besides the one that comes with it?
At the moment, there isn't. I'm trying to get a custom kernel to work, but it has some problems. At the very least, we can customize the stock kernel some, but I do not know if a full source built kernel will ever be available.
Can I flash this if I am on the voodoo kernel?
No, if you are running the voodoo lagfix kernel, you will want to disable voodoo prior to doing anything. If you don't, you'll be in for some fun times with Odin getting your phone back in a usable state.
Can I get something included in the FAQ?
Yes you can. Just create a post with the following template, and I'll try to keep the FAQ updated. If I don't see it or add it right away, don't worry, I'll try and update it. If it has been a week or two and I still haven't responded, just send me a message with a link to what you want included. Here is the format to use:

Did you flash your modem in Odin by chance? Go to Settings > About phone ... what is your Baseband version?
My baseband is EG12, but i dont recall flashing my modem.. I'm completely sure I didnt
eg12 is known to have this issue, I have this issue along with MANY MANY MANY others... this phone has too many issues, i have to restart my phone 5+ times a day because it wont receive/send texts and phone calls, freaking lame!

I read on another forum that there is a radio EG30 that supposedly fixes this issue.. I also don't recall experiencing this before root, but i know most of us flashed from a .tar to gain root.. So is it safe to say that them tars have flashed our modem to... Or maybe alter something that render these problems
I didn't think it was possible to flash your modem, unless you check the MODEM box in Odin, click the MODEM button and flash a file to it. This should not have happened to you if you used the PDA box like you should have to root your phone.
So you either goofed using Odin or somehow there's a way to flash your modem while flashing a rooted kernel. What exact steps did you take and what kernel did you use to root your phone?
I follow the exact steps found in qbking77 video to rooting.. Which yu can see here

Then sorry man I'm at a loss. If you flashed that TAR under PDA in Odin, then it should not have touched your baseband. Unless there's something in that TAR that flashes the modem. I didn't think that was possible though.
Well anyhoo .. update your Profile and PRL and see if it keeps happening. Doing this could fix the no calls/texts issue for you. Good luck!

I have/had the same problem, what I did I restored my entire system using a tar file that unrooted and flashed everything back how I initially got the phone. I pretty much started from scratch again and rooted again and did my thing. I still haave baseband eg12 but i was able to update profile and my prl. As of 10 hours of doing so i have not had the same problem YET. I would give it a shot, just might help.

Yeah that data collection you're doing is great mjcollum. Still doesn't explain how this guy ended up with EG12 though.
don't know about flashing from a .tar but one of the older kernels
i want to say it was one of the zedomax ones but don't hold me to that. would flash eg12 if installed from a zip in cwm. i'll take a peek and see what i can see.
you could try extracting the tar you used to flash to get root and seing if there is a modem.bin in it though.
the only modem.bin available is the eg12 one so if there is one thats where it came from.
I tried that bro.. No luck at all.. Is there like a stock tar that I can flash that could fix this?
currently there is no way to get eg30 back.
however there are some things you can do to help the situation.
check out the thread i posted a few minutes ago ...
the biggest things i have found to make a difference are
make sure your not underclocked.
try a few different kernels.
failing that i've seen some success depending on rom/kernel combo it doesn't seem to be any one kernel that works for everyone with this problem.
i'm currently running starburst 1.8 with the exp kernel that comes with it and as long as i don't underclock the min cpu it's fine.
some of my tests show the stock eg-30 filesystem and kernel seem to work well also.
some would say it's not an eg12 modem issue but then again i have only one report of it happening on eg30 and even then it didnt happen every time.
the stock kernel is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273647 you may try that first

Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
not that I will have an answer or solution, but others who might would likely want a bit more information, like:
are you on a custom ROM, or stock? which version of stock? or did you use that leak?
if custom, how did you get there? (ie: method used to flash/odin, stock recovery/twrp)
if you're just rooted stock, how do you achieve that? which method for rooting, or was it a rooted rom/oneclick/etc?)
did you do anything just previous to the problem? or "out of the blue"? (it is also vaguely possible it Is a network problem on Sprints end...)
if you're going back to BustBuy, are you unrooted now? do you know how to get back to unrooted? (they may not honor your warr if you are)
the more info you give us, the more likely we will have advice. just saying.
You might want to try resetting sprint login data by ##72786# to see if it helps.
Thank you for the quick response but I finally figured it out. I just reinstalled stock Rom and started fresh.

how exactly did you reinstall stock? i just got this problem after a reboot. i was on viperboy's stock K8 and just did a reboot and found my phone no longer has any network. i had twrp installed, the multi window mod, and the reboot option mod prior to this. i odined back to viperboy's stock J1 and had no resolution. i then went on to odin back to viperboy's stock JC, still nothing. i tried doing a restore from twrp off of J1, JC, and K8. after i reset everything and went back to stock i took the phone into sprint who had no way to fix it and could only offer to order me a refurbished replacement unit for whatever the price was. i have insurance from a third party but more then anything i need to know what exactly caused this and how to repair it. i noticed enough posts about this particular issue that i am hesitant to even think about rooting my next phone. when i do finally get a new one off insurance i of course would like to prevent this issue. however, using insurance after a month of owing my phone for this sort of issue really was not why i got the insurance.

thanks again, that solved my problem. i still wonder what in the world had my phone acting up in the first place. i believe i was one of the only people who had this just happen on a reboot without moving roms.
Thank you all for this thread. I just recovered from no mobile network as I accidentally flashed the wrong ROM. :good:
The process I had a failed flash that scared the @)*$& out of me. But i believe it flashed the modem.bin before it failed.
Then i flashed CWM again and all was good.
I have been tinkering with my Epic 4g sph d700 and for whatever reason, despite flashing it using a tar file as well as the pit, using Odin, I cannot get a darn mobile signal, it fades constantly in and out of an O with a line through it (like the NO symbol) and If the bars pop up I don't even have 1 signal bar.
I literally have NO data whatsoever. Any idea what could be causing this?
Should I use Heimdall instead and does anyone know of an FC09 or FC19 Heimdall latest full stock file can be found? 99.99% of the links I've found are no longer valid and believe me I've googled for a couple of hours as well as searched XDA.
Thanks!
ANY help or suggestions would be appreciated. It's stock, FC09 right now, Android debugging checked. Ready to flash away, but I have no data at all unless I am on WiFi.
I did not have this issue when I was on CM10 yet I went back to stock and now, nothing but zero mobile data issues.
Here is a link to the FC19 tar.
Try giving fresh slate another go.
Have you tried updating your PRL/Profile?

NOPE nothing new has changed, still NO data. Is there any other way to force prl/profile update?
I know in the Optimus G you can use tiny bin to fix issues similar to this, anyone know of what I am speaking of or any other suggestions???

When you go into Settings->About what do you see as your baseband version?
Is it blank?
There is a way to update PRL manually, but it's outdated and I can't really recommended.
Try flashing this modem and wiping data/cache 3x.
Try this as well. Just let me know what happens.

Sad thing is this phone was picked up in dec 2013 and has a sticker inside it showing it was made in sept 2013. I didn't think sammy even made these anymore, perhaps they do.

I don't know how but you may want to confirm they still make them. Possibly this is a counterfeit phone and that is the reason for the poor signal strength/quality? There have been counterfeit Samsung S3s/Note 3s/S4s showing up (see Youtube).
Download a stock tar with pit, odin it with efs clear. This will clear everything and I do mean everything. Your phone will be completely wiped. Keep in mind when you do this it will pop up with sprint activation wanting you to activate. If that don't work then maybe a antenna is loose internaly or maybe its just plain broke.
