Here's the stock kernel for DI07. http://firon.net/xda/SPH-D700_di07-kernel.zImage.tar

Flash it with Odin as normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] randytheshiv:
went perfectly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DanDroidOS:
Thanx so much for this thread it saved my ass today:) God bless you lol

Also can this be used with DI07?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zei:
Until I saw these posts I had to goto best buy and get a new phone. I guess the kernel was bad cause I had a brick and was extremly upset
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
No. The stock tar is for DG27.

THere's a separate thread with stock files for DI07.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
There is no unroot in the CWM 3.0.0.6 thread. Best way is to Odin back to stock. Do you need to return your phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdwyz74:
sorry i posted in the wrong reply
[Epic 4G Android Development] sdwyz74:
no problem i had a bunch of stuff to do today but i will be at my cousins 9am and i hope i can get it running as i have already gave my cousin my beloved EVO until i can fix his EPIC so i am begging for it to work as my cousin is already falling in love! thanks i will report back after 9am tomorrow

unable to update after fixed brick

ok so heres what i did......

rooted phone to have wireless tether on vacation

internet (3g/4g) stopped working (timing out constantly)

wanted to unroot to turn phone in to sprint

bricked phone

odin wouldnt work using the methods listed on pg 1 so after a little searching,

re-partitioned using odin and the victory .pit

installed Di18 using odin with no .pit (using a pit in conjunction with any di18 or newer updates restulted in odin either failing or not responding)

now phone is on and operational, but 3g goes out constantly and drop calls like mad, also network will not update firmware, wont update prl or profile, and says android is up to date (its not seeing the froyo update)

I kept reading everywhere that the di18 would allow me to update OTA, and since it was the only one that works, I had to use it. I'm just afraid sprint will see that I was effing with the phone and not fix my problem. The phone is unrooted and in semi-workable stock condition. Any solutions? I have been searching extensively and have seriously done my homework so please no "use the search button" messages

Thanks!

nevermind.

Which tar file do I use to return back to stock? Im on the swiss cheese rom.

Are they the same file?

The video by qbking shows the eb13 file but I have to bring this into coperate so I want all traces of my rooting gone.

Should I go with the full wipe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
The eb13 one will remove traces. Use the ec05 one... the link to the download is in the video description.
[Epic 4G Android Development] geekdaddy:
Just bricked my wife's Epic.

The other thread about fixing a semi-bricked epic tooks its place because some links were dead.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Sterist:
i have one with a completely broken USB port and i'm out of ideas.

it has purple CWM so that's the last option but i cant find a single stock rom flashable by CWM

anyone? :confused:

edit.. woah mega old thread lmao

the infamous search button will do that ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Sorry, I know this is an old thread. But even though I Odin back to stock, I cannot flash any other rom. When I try to flash a rom in cwm recovery, it gives an error saying something about "set_perms: error" and cancels flashing the rom. If I flash cm10 or anything else. It gives the same error. Does anyone have an idea?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Try wiping everything and fixing permissions before flashing the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried that. Still no go. I repartitioned the phone in odin. Everything. Not really sure what the deal is :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
My guess is your flashing a mtd rom without converting to mtd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
What version of Odin and pit file did you use and which stock tar did you flash? Also, how are you then re rooting and installing custom recovery before trying to flash a rom? And does the stock rom boot successfully?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
I thought the stock rom was mtd. I'm flashing mtd roms on it. Well, trying to. I know if I want to go to bml I need to flash a cm rom first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Stock is bml.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
I'm using everything in this thread. Except I'm using the fc09 tar. And I'm installing a custom recovery through odin, then I root with the su.zip I had and I flash a rooted tw kernel through recovery. The stock rom boots fine. Just not anything else. I tried flashing the people's rom. I thought it would boot completely, but my screen comes up looking like some light brown wood floorboard or something. Lol, I can't do anything on it. I'm typing this only because I'm on the stock rom. I'm clueless. I hate stock. Lol

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Are you serious :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Lmao. Well, ill try to flash a bml besides a cm rom and ill post results. Thanks!!

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Sorry, I know this isn't thread related, but would anyone happen to have a copy of a sense rom for this phone somewhere and could upload it? Thanks. Would love to try it out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Tried flashing a bml rom and it was stuck on the samsung screen. I then tried to flash cm10 and in the process of flashing, it gave me the script assert error. Something about "epicmtd" so I'm guessing stock is mtd cuz I odined back to stock then flashed cm10 in the cwm recovery and it went fine til it booted to the other cm recovery and checked the state of bml/mtd. It was about 7 secs til it gave an error (status 7) then rebooted and kept doing it over and over again. :( guess I'm stuck on stock...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Stock is bml. The phone was converted to mtd for rt ROMs such as cyanogenmod. Mtd changes your parton tables. In order to run an mtd ROM you need to convert to mtd witch cyangenmod does for you buy you still need to flash a mtd recovery.

In the updater script there's an assert command. That command checks your build. Prop for the name of your phone. Of the assert cannot find what it's looking for it will error out. Its a safety precaution to prevent you from flashing something that's not made for your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
I understand the whole assert script thing. Have been since the mytouch 3g. Lol. But ill try a different recovery (Even though I already have) and I'll post results again.

I highly appreciate your help. I had an epic in 2010 and haven't had one again since. I somewhat forgot about this bml/mtd thing. :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Yea i left the epic scene after I released SFR 1.2. I wasn't around for the hole bml vs mtd b/s. I'm just going off of what I read.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Emerl:
Either way, my epic won't flash any other bml rom or mtd rom. Or even an rfs rom in the recovery for rfs. Guess I have a bad epic fail. I tried everything.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I would try following some of qbking77's videos on YouTube step by step. Type in "how to root epic 4g on fc09" and there's many videos with links. Hope this helps and if not, I am sorry in advance.

Bricks are rare but possible, I guess.

Have you tried leaving the battery out for a while, holding the 1 plus power while plugging the USB?

I once semi-bricked and had trouble getting to download mode but I kept trying and succeeded.

samsung epic 4g cwm problem

guys can somebody help me, i rooted my samsung epic 3 years ago, i flashed cwm 6.013 recovery by accident, as it seems version 5.027 is the only one compatible for the epic. i tryied flashing it to 5.027 using odin.it says install succesful, but when i reboot in recovery. 6.013 still appears, i tryied flashing twrp 2.5 within the cwm recovery but it says installation aborted, i even tryied switching the signature thing. do i have to revert everything back to stock? the reason i need the recovery installed is because ui am trying to get the latest cyanogenmod. but this 6 013 version cannnot mount the sd card to install the downloaded rom. thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
First thing, use the files in the sticky thread; this old thread should be closed.

Secondly, you may have flashed recovery incorrectly. You should follow the whole OP and repartion to bml.

Follow the OP but it's as simple as steps below; it's recommended to remove the battery and check all boxes where directed.

First step: Odin the FC09 tar with PIT file and repartion checked, then close/reopen Odin to Odin recovery tar.

Then flash your ROM.

You don't even have to boot the FC09 ROM, just get to recovery and flash your ROM; it should auto-convert the bml to mtd partitioning.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JCESAR2:
first of all thanks for your help, i followed all the instructions, i flashed the mtd f09 rom. i installed the cwm recovery 5027, then i flashed the lastest build of cyanogenmod(at this point recovery confirms i am using 5.0.2.7) 10.1.3.1, after that when i go to recovery version 6.0.3 appears. i don't know why.???
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
You get a different recovery going to CM. Normal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktron2g:
If you are upgrading to cyanogen mod 10 or newer it will automatically update your version of clockworkmod in the process.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JCESAR2:
the problem is 6.0.3 is not supported by the epic. i can not do anything. backups etc. i suppose 5.0.27 can not go along cyanogenmod 10.1.3.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ktron2g:
I used that version fine when I was still on my epic, I don't know why backups won't work for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Exactly what happens when you try and do a backup or restore when you use cwm 6.0.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JCESAR2:
thanks for your reply, basically nothing happens, sd cards cannot be mounted, i have dozens of cards and i ve tryied them all. i have reformatted them also. i have fixed permissions on rom manager, does this mean that cwm recovery 6.0.3 is actually supposed to work good on the epic?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Yeah, CWM 6+ should supposedly work with most if not all MTD-partitioned ROMs (ROMs prior to CM10 have a different MTD size arrangement though). Just to test, you could try "adb sideload" the latest official CM10.1, which has the latest CWM (6.0.4.x). See if this newer version does the job.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Rumble600:
Worked great for me. I couldn't install the the new update because I removed some of the factory apps. After following these steps the phone was back to stock and I noticed my 3g icon was lit up for a while (I assume downloading the update). After a few minutes I got the notification that there is a new update and installed it.

Darn DI07!

I took the update - bad mistake! Now my Epic only has about half the battery life and a dimmer screen. Those two "Features" and media hub are the only differences I've noticed. When stock, my Epic battery lasted incredibly long, GPS worked great, screen was nice and bright and it actually seemed a bit faster.

So, to get rid of the DI07 update, do I just need to go through the stock kernel steps? I just want to get it back the way it was before the stupid update and without loosing anything, except Media Hub (don't need that garbage anyway).

Also, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea if we'll be able to get the Froyo update (when it finally comes) if we are on stock instead of DI07...
[Epic 4G Android Development] CobraR17:
Worked great!!! Thanks...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Here's what works for me. Just open odin, power off the phone. When it's completely powered down. Hold the number 1 and while holding it down, hold the power on button until it turns on. You'll see it's now in download mode. Connect it to your computer. You'll see odin recognize the phone and it will say com7 or something. Then make sure that only reboot is checked, place the tar file in the pda section of odin and hit start and sit back. The tar file should be like 260mb. The radio, kernel and everything is in that tar file. You only have to do this once and you're all set

Reset to stock

I have attempted the steps but the odin program crashes every time I run it. I could not get my windows 7 machine to recognize the device so I went to my XP machine and attempted it there and it crashes every time I run with the full wipe.

Any ideas as to what is going on? I have downloaded and installed the Java EE development and installed the Android SDK as well and restarted the computer.

The error was still occurring. The device isn't affected none and I do get the com# when I plug in the device. I also only have reboot and the debug checked and the files are referenced correctly.

Please help, I lost my android keyboard option and would like it back.

I tried flashing to Froyo 2.2 on my Epic 4g using a guide found on briefmobile.

I have Odin settings exactly as shown in the guide.

Everything goes according to the slide show pictures... no hanging on file analysis and phone is in USB debugging mode. Odin does its thing and I get a green success message, all threads successfully completed. Then the screen goes black and my Epic doesn't reboot. Now it won't even Power on. I have pulled the battery for a couple minutes and attempted to power into download mode... no dice. It won't boot normally, into recovery mode or download mode. Is there any hope of restoring it to stock with this guide? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dumb question about the data wipe: does this also wipe the SD card, and if so will the restore still work if I remove it beforehand?

Does not wipe SD, should work if SD is removed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
No it hasn't...this is the tar file...not the update.zip

Normally you have to flash to DG27, then update. This is the full ROM, including modem and everything, in tar form which is what Samsung uses.

The file here is a stock Di07 file that is flashable with Odin. The file you're pointing to is the update to DI07 from DG27. Flashing the file here if you need to go back to stock DI07 with eliminate the need to update from DG27 to DI07.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I'm not entirely sure, but thats the exact file name of it...someone else might know better then me

Check the 1st post, at the bottom i have a link to another thread that tells you how to do it. Just use my file here and not the dg27

The link worked for me? I just tested at 7:04 PM EST

That is a dump of the ROM. This is the actual rom, with no modifications to it straight from Samsung and is flashable.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
8Gb = 8 gigabit. Our internal flash is an 8gbit chip, or 1 gigabyte, hence the filename. :D

therob, you need to reinstall the sprint apps, download the update to di07(its in a thread about DI07, but I don't remember where). then put it at the root of your sdcard as update.zip, power off power on while holding vol down and camera buttons(I think that's the right combo for stock, can someone verify?) then chooe the option to install update.zip.
