Select the .tar in the PDA section and leave the .pit empty.

[Epic 4G Android Development] plainbrad:
Awesome! Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] timothylaws:
But you said a few pages back in this thread that:

What's changed since your successful Odin stock flash? If you're using the same method/files in the step by step I posted for you before and still getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs then you're probably gonna first want to try several different USB cables and ports on your PC. If it wont get past that still then try a different PC. Only two of my six USB ports will do a successful Odin restore, also only 1 of 3 USB cables I have wont get things stuck either.

And what do you mean you're getting "stuck". Does it give you a PASS/FAIL box display? Or does it just get stuck at factoryfs.rfs for a really long time? I once had to Odin restore from a friend's PC and it took 35 minutes to complete and get a green "PASS" box in what starts as the yellow COM box. On my laptop it takes no more than 5 minutes every time. So keep in mind that you might have to wait quite some time.

Okay for the life of me I cannot figure out how to delete the extension? Maybe it's too late and I need sleep. Someone help me please lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
hm.. ? just rename it and delete everything to the right of tar :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Team

Yeah that doesn't work the file name says .tar but when I open the properties is has the.md5
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I used these Odin instructions and the file from this thread to flash from super old dg17 to very old dg27. After reboot, I got auto OTA update to di17. Then I manually updated di18 using the file from thread also. Worked perfectly each time. The di18 update also has the .tar.md5 ext but I didn't any issue. Maybe you guys having issues should read the Odin flash instructions (assuming you haven't already and have no experience flashing)

I screwed up the hyperlink. Use the below link for Odin stock flash instructions if needed:

I use the di18 tar file that has the .md5 extension and it works perfectly every time. The only one I have trouble with is the dk28.tar.md5 with odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
its been so long, lol, so i dont remember off the top of my head how but your file extensions are hidden. you see the .tar because without the extension, that is only part of the file name. turn on display file extensions and you will see the .md5 (and the extension for every file on your pc). rename and remove the .md5, windows will cry and ask if you're sure, answer yes. proceed
[Epic 4G Android Development] gmorf33:
You need to go into your folder options (in windows) and click the view tab, then uncheck the box that says "hide extensions for known file types". Click OK, then you should actually see the file extensions, then you can rename the file and delete the .md5 off the end.

Just keep this in mind, you will now see ALL file extensions so when you rename files, make sure not to delete the extension by accident or you'll get a prompt "are you sure you want to change the extension blah blah".

To anyone as blind as me who had to read it like 20 times, you change the 8Gb to just 8G and it will flash just like DI18 did.

Now to boot, play with, flash to ext4, brick, unbrick, try again, get mad at slowdown, load rom, decide to go back to 2.1, then decide can't live without flash and go back to 2.2 then settle and then get bored with no new phone to tinker with.

datafs.rfs

I am unable to flash this file to my phone. I have had no problems flashing anything else. My phone is otherwise bricked. What is this file, what does it do, and is there any alternatives to this file I can use?

I have manually modified the .tar and removed this file, and it will push the entire thing just fine. The phone boots most of the way up, and just ends with a black screen. I am unable to access the recovery. (SAMSUNG screen, Sprint screen, and then the S logo... the screen then turns black, and stays that way)

I have put the datafs.rfs alone in a .tar and it will not flash. It will error on everything. I have tried using 5 computers, god knows how many USB ports. Is my phone gone?

[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
to get the OTA pop-up when the official drops you will have to be on the DI18 Release which was the last update from sprint
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
Going back to di18 takes all of 5 minutes in Odin. IMO, the safest and fastest way is to wait till the official 2.2 is available as a .tar file and then just use Odin.

Also will probably be a good idea to stay on Dk28 for a few weeks and wait for the devs to come out with some really nice roms.

Well I was just returning to stock myself, and kept having issues with the DI18 file. So I loaded up the older DG27 file, and bam! It ran no issues. I'll get the updates needed for DI18.

So if you are having issues with DI18, try DG27

Edit note, as I recalled from back in December when I went back to stock, I ran into issues with the DI18 update not being found. For some reason it only updates to DI07. The update can be found on this thread.

The eb13 .tar file is posted in the epic android development forum in the how to update thread. Its method 2 and was up yesterday.

All you do is put the phone in dl mode and go. You don't have to be on version whatever unrooted with all the stock bloat. When you flash the eb13 tar file it wipes everything and flashes a totally fresh operating system.

Not quite sure why everyone is running otas and zips when odin takes 5 minutes...
