DG17 to DI18

Ok, so Ive searched through the thousands of pages that just seem to contradict each other so I'll try and ask it here. What's the easiest way to go from a stock (rooted) DG17 Epic to a stock rooted DI18?

Never mind, Odin it was... Now running stock (rooted) DI18. Baby steps, now to find a good 2.2 rom.

There were update.zips somewhere to do DG17->DG27->DI07->DI18, but they seem to have been buried due to lack of use. Odin is easy enough, though.

Whats the best stock rom for the Epic?

I just bought my wife an Epic and it's already rooted running the Simply AOSP v3.1.1 rom. But my wife wants the phone stock rooted.
So can someone please tell me whats the best stock rooted rom out here for the Epic?

Can't Find Sprint Stock Flash Program -again
A while back I had to flash my phone back to stock. Sprint had a program that was NOT odin. I am on holiday and the new gingerbread has seriously screwed up my phone. It does not work correctly and the battery drain is tremendous.
I have the program on my desktop pc, but not my laptop. can ANYBODY please direct me to the Non-odin way to flash the Samsung Epic back to stock? I am able to update the phone over 3g/4g after that for updates.
Thanks

[Q] Odin Won't Work?...

Hey guys,
So, I ran EH06, and liked it, but I prefer EC05 (more stable). I tried to Odin back, followed the instructions, but for some strange reason the phone is stuck on Gingerbread. Any suggestions/explanations?..

What are the errors/where does Odin stop, what are you trying to flash, what file name?

No errors. Everything's cool when I Odin, everything says "successful", everything goes according to plan. And when the phone reboots, I get back to stock, but still on Gingerbread with the EH06 modem.

Just trying to go back to stock EC05 (planning to go to viperrom AFTER going back to stock). I used the files provided by qbking to do so, and it worked once before. But that was when I was on EG22. EH06 seems different...

flash with cwm then use Odin to flash the ec05 modem

You must have flashed a tar that did not have the EC05 modem in it. You could get the stock tar here:

That's a little freaky. Go to the 2nd post of that thread and use Heimdall and you can just do the modem.bin from the EC05 tar or anywhere else you can get it from.

Wait -- I just wanna be sure I got this right. I've been doing this for a few months now, so I THINK I sorta know what I'm doing, but I just wanna check to be sure.
So right now, I've got a firmware version of 2.3.4, a baseband version of EH06, and a build number of GINGERBREA.EH06. I CAN change the baseband to EB13, but when I do that the firmware and build number do not change.
Just to be sure, is there something I might have forgotten? I followed the directions, but I just wanna be sure.

And you didn't think to nand backup before going to eh06? Tsk tsk tsk.

See, that's the funny part: I DID make nand backup. And I tried to restore but it wouldn't let me. It kept saying "aborted".

Hm... negatory md5 match?

....What's that?

Nand backup in CWM creates an MD5 checksum. If it was in any way corrupt,or incomplete, you could experience a succesful restore with issues. Or an unsucessful restore all-together.

.....So does this mea there's no hope for me then?

Not quite, if someone was willing to share their nand backup with you, you could always put that inside the clockworkmod folder found on your sd card and try that.

Then you are only Odining the modem which is the baseband. If you restore a nand backup from 3.1.0.1 it will put your kernel and ROM back on. If you want to be on EB13 or EC05 then you will need to flash a ROM for that or after Odining a stock tar and rooting do only Restore Advanced Data from a nand.

Also if you are getting MD5 mismatches there is a thread for trying to repair those.

In need of stock unrooted odin tar. Any version will do

Hey guys,
I have a problem with my phone's USB connection. It constantly believes it is connected regardless if it is or not. As a result, I cannot put the device in Developer mode to unroot the device.
I need to unroot the device so that Sprint can replace it for me. Every version of odin I see available is of the rooted variety and the FH13 Odin unrooted version has been pulled for now.
Does anyone have an unrooted odin tar available?
Thanks

I believe he removed all of the unrooted versions for now. I could be wrong but I think I read that somewhere.
I am uploading a zip file that will fix you up. My upload is slow but I will post it when it is done.

You can use one of sfhub's One-Clicks on the phone.
You'll need a zip extractor and Mobile Odin. [There is a free version of Mobile Odin around there that Chainfire provide for the XDA Crowd; you just need to flash his support files]
Follow sfhub's superb instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Then just delete the superuser apk.
That should surely be enough for you to show Sprint your stock.

Finally finished. Backup whatever you need to and flash this in CWM. This will give you stock FH13 with wiped data and stock kernel. You can flash the FH13 modem before using that zip or Odin it if you want a matching set. If you aren't already using the FH13 modem that is.

[Q] [ROM HELP] No Data When Flashing Custom ROMs

Hey guys. I recently got an old Samsung Epic 4G Touch due to my HTC Evo 4G LTE breaking from water damage. I've been able to root the Galaxy and flash a version of jellybean (beanstalk). However, when I try to flash any other ROMs than this, the data doesn't work. I've tried flashing the correct modems (I think) to no avail. Any suggestions?

Can you post a screen shot of your about phone page that shows the modem. What carrier are you on?

You probably need to update your Profile and PRL. Flash back to a Touchwiz ROM to get it done... I would flash an ICS version to not worry about changing the modem.

I don't have info on FB27. If you are on Sprint it should be GB27. That is the modem. You should slow down before you brick the phone. You should have some one-click files on your PC to take your phone back to stock if need be. Also you should have a touchwiz modem as well as an ICS modem on the phone. I would suggest FL24 and GB27. A copy of EL29 direct boot. A copy of AGATs recovery. A copy of Philz touch recovery. A copy of Mobile Odin Lite. To update to the current PRL you can do as @Surj138 says just so you don't have to flash modems. I think you are on the wrong modem anyway. Flash a modem in recovery. Don't do it through Mobile Odin.

Just remember that if you want to flash a non-touchwiz JB or KK ROM, you have to be on a ICS modem (bigmike suggested FL24). If you are on touchwiz JB (stock, or one of the touchwiz custom ROMs for this phone), you can flash a JB modem (such as GB27).
I think you have to be on touchwiz to change the phone number. You have to be on touchwiz to update profile and PRL. But you can be on an ICS modem in touchwiz to do that.
If you want 4g on this phone, you have to be on touchwiz -- or at least you did, until last Monday (Nov. 3), when dastin released a version of CM11 for this phone that works with 4g. That's what I am running on my phone and it works for me.
