After reading through the entire post, I was unable to find anything that seems like it can help. My problem is that while trying to flash back to stock with odin I believe my phone became completely bricked, but I am not sure.

The flash failed so I closed odin and pulled battery. Restarted odin and tried to boot back in dl mode on the phone, but now the phone does not even boot at all, no dl mode, no recovery and no normal boot. It is not the battery because I have tried the battery in a different epic and that epic booted fine.

Does this mean my phone is completely bricked or is there something I can do?

Why hasn't this been Stickied?
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Agreed, it should be. Yes it's linked to in the getting started wiki but from what I see people posting on here they don't always make it to the link in the wiki (maybe because it is a little ways down on the page?).

Sticky this thread and I wouldn't be surprised if it cuts those questions in half.

Yes Remove SD CARD - Works

Yes tried a bunch of times and removing the SD card allowed it to work consistently. Followed instructions in post one and removed SD card.

Got me out of phone exclamation mark and computer screen.

Thanks for the great tip!

So do I add all three downloads or use one? I have D107 and I am getting a error when I got the OTA for D118.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but I have flashed my modem with the DK17_modem.bin file, but now if I want to go back to stock, do the pit and tar files from the OP still do the job?
[Epic 4G Android Development] leatherneck6017:
Yes and you could even use the DI18 tar file located here and skip the Sprint OTA update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JungleJiujitsu:
Right, thats what I do when going back to stock from a custom 2.1 ROM, but thank you very much for confirming that its the same process to go from the DK17 modem back to stock too!

How do you restart DOWNLOAD MODE when already in DOWNLOAD MODE?

This is the only way I can get Odin to work correctly. On my Vibrant this was the method I used and it worked flawlessly. And on the Vibrant while in DOWNLOAD MODE you could just hold the same keys that put you in that mode to restart it (Volume Down + Power).

But the combo of 1+Power for the Epic doesnt reboot the phone back into DOWNLOAD MODE if your already in it....

HELP!!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
I have never had that problem or heard of re-booting into download from download. Can't help you there. Pull the battery and try again, re-start Odin each time as well. Odin is touchy...
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I had the same hard time windows refused to recognize the phone and I would have to pull the battery disconnect the usb cable wait restart download mode and hope winblows installed the drivers as needed. Most the time I would get unrecognized usb device
[Epic 4G Android Development] KrossXC:
Same here. My comp sticks on this step. Then nothin.

[UPDATE a few minutes later]:

I tried a different USB port, rebooted the phone again, back into download mode.. followed instructions, and it worked. Also.. this time I only did the PDA, none of the other two files. I'm just putting it back to stock so I can take it back.

[Epic 4G Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
I cannot get it to boot into download mode. Okay after about 10 tries I finally got it. After updating the radio the phone just goes black and I have to pull the battery out. So now I'm stuck and I can't even update the stock files anymore. This is what it says.

[Epic 4G Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
If you run into issues restart your computer and pull the battery on the phone. Once your computer is back on start up Odin3, put the battery in, put the phone in download mode, and plug it back in and try it again. It worked for me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Restart everything and try a different usb port on your system. Preferably on the back. Make sure you don't connect you phone until its in download mode and odin is already open.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
i got it, i got it! lol that took like an hour. uninstalled drivers, re-installed, connected phone to let it set up drivers, then proceeded with steps in OP. thanks guys!

edit: and of course i'm stuck at file analysis =/

rebooting etc
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrvirginia:
and now it won't recognize the phone again. i really really really despise Samsung. they obv can't make cellphones. was a breeze doing anything on my Evo

Try a different port or even another USB cable. The included Samsung one is pretty poor quality.

Might wanna change the fact that its NOT an official just because a couple of people got it. Official means that EVERYONE gets it and that its available from sprint directly as well. (PS: quote an article you wrote somewhere else doesnt help either)

Well actually, it isn't confirmed or not confirmed its the official release

When I click on any of the links, it asks me for a username and password. I was thinking about going back to DI18 so I could receive the actual OTA update. I updated manually last night, but am concerned I might miss something with the actual OTA. Is there any benefit to waiting for the official OTA being sent to my phone? Or should I just stick with my DK28 I manually installed?

GPS issues

Just like somne others on here I too now have a dead GPS. I had tried the beta Froyo's and had the same issue. I read on a news article that this release is only for people with Hardware version 700.0.4 . I have the 700.0.5 Iwonder if the difference is enough to fool with the GPS.

Anyone have any idea on this?

I would love to hear from the other people having GPS issues what hardware version there on.

P.S. To any syndicate members, please get me a xtreme kernal and syndicate ROM for Froyo ASAP..I already miss it too much!

I think those are programs that allow some windows programs to run on a Mac (I could be wrong).

I've downloaded the .tar 3 times now, used Odin 1.6 and 1.3, and I get the md5 mismatch also. Tried using different pits, no pits, everything I could find on this forum i tried. Reverted back to my working DI18 just fine. Retried this .tar again and still no go. Had to use the .tar that kennethpenn posted and it works fine. I noticed that the file sizes of these 2 .tars is different also. Dunno what's up but figured I'd support there is an md5 mismatch.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Which tars??
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
Hey, just curious as to why the tar's in this thread are 1 mb bigger than the tar that was posted last night...

It's also renamed, like the one last night was "SPH-D700-DK28-8G-REL.tar", whereas this is "SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar". Anyone have any idea?
[Epic 4G Android Development] engine95:
Sorry. Just edited my above post. It's the one kennethpenn has posted. It works just fine
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
Can you post a link to kenneth DI18 file? I have downloaded the DI18 file in the first post 5 different times and rebooted my PC, I think there is something wrong with the original post...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I renamed it just to have it fit the standard
[Epic 4G Android Development] jeremiah.rs:
I see. In any case, I tried running this via odin, and there's a hash mismatch.

This is the error I get with the files from your servers,

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

<OSM> SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 is invalid.

<OSM> End...

This was the tar I got from the thread that was made last night and then promptly locked, http://www.multiupload.com/A4HRBSEB7X . That's the one I used on my phone, and this one has a valid hash. Look into this, cause you might be wasting bandwidth on your serves...

I'm currently trying to Odin DK28, and I've noticed that both the DI18 and the DK28 give MD5 mismatches no matter how many times I download them from the mirror links.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JediWing:
Downloaded Odin (pit and exe), and the tar.

Got Odin to recognize the phone in download mode.

It gets to "<ID:0/06> File analysis.." then I get a Windows Vista popup saying "Odin3 Communicator has stopped working."

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Phone still boots (DI18 with an older Mixup kernel).

From reading the wiki steps it seems like I should just keep restarting my computer and Epic into DL mode, but I've tried it a few times now and no dice (plus the drivers aren't always recognized in download mode so it's like wrestling a bear).

Any alternative things I should try or just reboot reboot reboot until it works?

Does anyone have the original multiupload link for DK28?
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:

[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
I am currently downloading stock DI18 from MegaUpload site because this says the file was last modifed 10/05/2010, which would seem like it is the correct one.

I will post my results when I found out if I can Odin DI18 but for now it looks like I bricked my phone trying to use different methods of using DI18_update.zip.

It would definitely help if the OP can post the original DI18 file from October (not the 12/05/2010 one).

For users wanting DK28, I think Whosdamann is trying to correct his hash mistake in this thread...
[Epic 4G Android Development] fluxcommander:
Does the file you're using end in .tar or .md5? For some reason my files were downloading as .tar.md5.tar on the end of the file, and that was causing Odin to crash for me too. Tried an older DI18 that ended in .md5, and got an MD5 mismatch but at least no crash.

dude, use the link I posted. You don't need a pit file, load it up into the pda section and hit start. make sure to plug in the phone to your computer before you start up odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
In order to fix the GPS satellite track issue that a lot of people are having with Froyo from other forums, it is said to go back to DI18 (which I am downloading right now) get a GPS lock and then I will use your link for DK28.

Btw in your post, you said "plug in before starting Odin". I thought the process was: to start odin first, then plug in your phone. Have u been doing something different?

A comment to Whosdaman,

Since those megaupload links are kinda slow and they may be removed at any time due to some user removing them, what if you put the DI18 file as you originally had (in that galaxysense/korey link you had) ?
