[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
My original post on this with links to files / sources

Thanks to Noobnl and Joeykrim + everyone else that is working hard to make the Epic a great device!

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/odin-3-flashing-a-kernel-experemental!/

There is very little risk with this so long as you are not totally stupid. I just bricked my Epic screwing around with some things and its actually very easy to go back to stock. There may be an easier way or less steps but this is how I did it and got it working again.

Download Odin, extract. http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3epic.rar

(Leave the other files as they are don't extract them)

Grab the stock kernel (you only need this if you have flashed a different one and only want to go back to the stock kernel without resetting everything else.)

http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar

Grab the stock files from (This includes everything, flashing this wipes your entire device and makes it fresh)

http://rapidshare.com/files/415661977/SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar.html

Grab the pit from

http://rapidshare.com/files/416399391/s1_odin_20100512.pit

1. Open odin

2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)

3. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)

4. Select the pit file on the right in the pit section

5. In the PDA Section you place either the full Stock tar (SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar around 255mb) for a full wipe and full return to stock OR you place the SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar which only flashes you back to the stock kernel.

6. check reboot on the left with DebugEn (only those should be checked)

7. Hit start. It will do its thing. Doesn't take long you can see the progress bar. If it sits on File Analysis for longer than 30 seconds its not going to happen. See the troubleshoot section below.

Device should reboot and should be done.

You will have to re root / install busy box.

_________________________________________________________

If you only want to revert back to the stock kernel you can place just the kernel file (SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar) in the PDA portion with the .pit and that will over write any kernel changes you have made leaving everything else in place.

So for eg. You flashed a new kernal, don't like it or want to go back to the stock kernel. Follow the above steps but instead of using SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar you would replace that in the PDA section with the stock kernel SPH-D700.zImage.stock.tar.

This replaces your kernel only, it doesn't wipe your device.

____________________________________________________

OK so you did this and it didn't work or you are stuck at "File Analysis" or you got a Failed error

1. Check and make sure you do NOT have any other boxes on the left checked besides DebugEn and Reboot

2. Make sure you have the .pit file in the pit section and the .tar in the PDA section.

3. If you are stuck at File Analysis and you made sure that # 1 and # 2 were done or if you got an error then:

3a: Reboot your PC and pull the battery on your phone

3b: Wait for PC to reboot

3c: Open Odin

4c: Put batter back in phone, boot to download mode

5c: Once in download mode connect via USB to the PC

6c: Run it again

___________________________________________________________________________

EDIT: I will be checking this thread periodically to see if there is a need to update the OP.

Edit 2: Removed the Kernel and modem flash portion. This was redundant as the SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar already includes those updates. I also added a troubleshoot portion
