[Continuum General] bdotdotts:
Froyo is so nice... Here's how...

Hey guys... new poster here.

Just got a (Gently used) Samsung Continuum for free from Verizon after the power button on my G Droid 1 broke.

Anyways, after rcving it and realizing that it would only support Android 2.1 - I was slightly upset.

My D1 was rooted and modded to the max many times over with just about every ROM you can get.

So after reading up about IMNUTS leaking the Froyo download for the Continuum, my hopes were raised.

It is now debinged, debloated, lightening quick and amazing!

There may not be ROMS out there yet - but I truly hope some of you geniuses decide to make a few.

Just wanted to say thanks and encourage you to do some research before rooting it.

Here's what worked for me.

Odin 1.3

Continuum PIT.pit file

froyo_modem.tar.md5

cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar

cyan Clockwork Mod Recovery (BLUE, not yellow) (update.zip file, which is placed on the root of your SD card - renamed to update.zip)

stock_deodexed_ec03.zip (ROM)

(Place all of these files on your Desktop for easy access)

How to do it...

1. Connect your phone to your computer and Mount it.

2. Place the cyan CWM Recovery zip file to your SD card. (rename it to update.zip & do not put it in any folders. Just drag the file to your SD card - whatever drive it is listed as. Mine is my Removeable F:)

3. Make a new folder on your SD card. Name it whatever you want. (Mine is named "Froyo") Place the stock_deodexed_ec03.zip file in the folder on your SD card.

4. Open Odin 1.3 on your PC.

5. While your phone is off... hold the down volume button and connect it to your computer via USB. The yellow triangle will appear and it will say "Downloading". (Some people say to take the battery out, but my Odin program would not recognize my phone without the battery. Whichever works for you is fine.)

6. In Odin - Click the PIT file button. Load the Continuum.Pit.pit file into the file field. (Just double click it once you find the file from your Desktop.)

7. In Odin - Click the PDA button. Load the froyo_modem.tar.md5 file into the file field. (same as #6. Just double click it once you find the file from your Desktop.)

8. Click Start in Odin.

It should think for a minute, then say resetting, then say PASS

Then your phone will probably turn back on - turn it off again and reconnect it to your PC in download mode as stated in #5 above.

9. In Odin - Click the PDA button again. Load the cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar file as you did in #'s 6 and 7 above.

10. Click Start again in Odin... same as before. (thinking, resetting and PASS)

Your phone will turn on again.

11. Disconnect your phone from the computer & turn it off.

12. Hold both Volume buttons and turn it on. It will boot into the Samsung Recovery mode.

13. Use your Volume buttons to go down to highlight "apply update.zip" Then find the place where your normal Menu softkey would be and push it. The phone should then reboot into Clockwork Mod Recovery. It will be orangish.

14. In CWM, use the Volume buttons to highlight Backup/ Restore. Use the Power Button to choose it. Then at the next field, highlight Backup and make a backup.

15. After is makes the backup, press where the softkey Back button should be to go back to the original screen. From there, do a Wipe Data/ Factory reset. Do not forget to do this part.

16. Once it does the Data Wipe - go back to the main menu and and highlight & select the "zip from SD card" choice. Find your "Froyo" folder (of whatever you named it) and apply the stock_deodexed_ec03.zip file.

17. After that, go back to the main menu again and reboot your phone.

It may take a while, but your phone should restart in Froyo.

Of course, you have to re-sign in to your Google network...

Thanks so much guys for all the posts. Without them, is nowhere near as cool.
