hi guys!

i've read the thread. I want to flash back to stock (eclair) which file SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar or SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar that i need to go back (i need to return phone cuz it has some issues) DI18 is in the wiki and DG27 is from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f10g44:
yeah so the same thing happend...

i odin'd then ran root then flashed bonsai without wiping anything...

any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
just to make sure, have you flashed the dk28 modem? i.e does your baseband version end in dk28?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f10g44:
no, it ends in DI18. lol did i miss a step?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
that's your problem, brah! you need to use odin to install the dk28 modem..... hold up and i can look for a link for ya, or you can search for dk28 modem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
here is the link:

you want to use Odin again, and put the modem.tar in the pda slot. this will update your modem to dk28 so you can use the Froyo roms like Bonsai.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f10g44:
thank you! i was a little lost..

Quick question! (hoping for a quick answer)

Can I flash a .jar (it's a mod for a theme) like a .zip in cwm?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
If you correctly package it, you could ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Nevermind, the mod was a .zip so I'm assuming it should be fine!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah most likely :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
Extremely frustrated. I flashed the truly epic rom and everything was fine but all of a sudden my battery was low last night and my phone started bugging out. So i figure I wipe and reflash the rom but something happened..

My usb wont mount to my pc anymore. i've tried the drivers, changed cables, ect.

i figure something must have been corrupted and wonder if there is a separate driver for the usb on the actual phone thats screwed.

I was about to go back to stock on everything bUT even odin doesnt recognize the usb. Could somebody else give me some ideas here?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
ODIN won't recognize your phone in download mode? :confused:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
nope. Im in download mode right now and plugged the usb in but nothing. Also i noticed that my mouse freezes up sometimes when I plug the usb in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, can you flash any other rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
yeah I had a back up of the frankenfroyo and restored it after wiping but still no connection
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Ok, perhaps it's the cord? Can you try a different cord or the drivers? Can you ensure the drivers are properly installed?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
cords double checked. I have 2 and i also went to the sprint store and they tried theirs as well. everything was working fine up uintil the bugout yesterday and now I'm totally clueless on what next to do. Isn't there a certain file on the phone itself that might have been deleted or corupt?

when I plug my phone in the desktop it charges but says 1 of the usb devices has malfunctioned but it still doesnt make sense
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hmm.... like I said, mind installing the samsung drivers and rebooting the computer again?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
did it several times. 32bit driver for windows xp. It's got to be something with the phone itself and not the driver through the pc or the cable cause Ive exhausted all those methods
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Really, I'm out of ideas..... maybe Sprint will let you trade it in?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
without getting it back to stock? lol there's got to be a solution. Thanks for trying though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Like I said, I'd flash as as many different roms as I could and try it on each one ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Just one idea for if you really want to get back to stock to see if tha fixes your problem: do you have an adapter to plug your micro sd card into your computer? If so, and if you can still get into recovery, you could try loading one of the flashable stock zips... either DK28 or DI18..... I've never tried them, but they are out there. That's a potental way to get back to stock without Odin.

Other than that there's hopefully some other solutions. I know that that has happened to me before, somewhere on some roms, but luckily it eventually fixed itself, or I kept unplugging and switching usb ports, etc. Hope you get it fixed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
Yeah ive been looking for them but can't seem to locate a zip to do it that way. either way I cant do anything until I get a new rom to flsh on the sd card.

Thanks for the idea
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
no problem. i think i can locate a stock zip or two.... i'll post them just so you have them.

Edit: so far just found the stock DK28 file that you can flash in Clockwork, but it requires that you be on DI18. but yeah, first getting an adapter of some sort would be good.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
got my adapter in hand and downloading viper right now.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hope that fixes it for you :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
hope so to. i just don't understand how it happened because I'm extremely careful when flashing or anything for that matter but hopefully it works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
here is the DI18 download, flashable in Clockwork, if you should choose to try it:

Hrm..... sd corruption? May want to back it up on a PC and then format it
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
its weird my adaptor will read the 2gb card but not the 16gb card. I can apply the rom on the 2gb but not the 16 but the phone wont read the 2gb
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
This is crazy....... like I said, I'd try reformatting :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
I know its crazy as hell. lol I reformatted the disk and tried again but nada. the damn phone wont read it but the adaptor will. the phone will read the 16g but the adaptor wont. Calling all devs here lol Im pulling all my hair out
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Can you reformat though CWM or will it just not read it at all?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
nope. won't read it at all. :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Hrm. Ok then. Well, what about using a rom already on the 16GB card? Or do you not have one?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
nope just have that truly epic rebirth rom and the backup of the franken froyo. I always delete roms cause I just dont like leaving stuff on the sd card. Maybe the link for the driver im using is bad. any of you guys have a good link? long shot but who knows
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Here we go, try these perhaps :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Dang, Murphy's Law is hanging over you today, lol! Hope those drivers work.... I remember getting mine from the one-click root 2.5 page, by Noobnl I believe.

Otherwise..... this is getting pretty crazy, but do you have 2 diff. types of sd adaptors? I got a package that had both a usb adaptor, AND an adapter for turning the micro sd card into a bigger sd, and plugging into the comp. that way...... if you have that, and if your computer has both plugs, that's a way to get stuff from 1 sd card to the other.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Yeah, those are the ones I copied :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
This is the error I keep on getting after plugging it in. tried that link but same thing. gonna go eat and maybe come up with an idea lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You're extracting the zip, installing the drivers, then rebooting correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
yes sir....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Perhaps the drivers don't work on xp? Just grasping for straws here

Sent from a truly Epic phone and a transparent XDA app ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
Id have to rule that out because the driver was working fine before this new rom. i don't know really what else to do but ill keep plugging away. There has to be some sort of fix for this
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
So just to make sure, you did format the cards using the phone, correct?(settings>sd card and phone storage>unmount sd card>format sd card) And if it makes you feel any better, I have seen that error before.... can't remember exactly what I did, but I don't think it's a major thing, and hopefully will fix itself somehow... not sure. But dang...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
Well this is a bummer. I tried several different roms and the same thing is going on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
dang. did you try flashing the stock DI18? are you able to do that? if if still didn't work then, then at least maybe you could take it in to a Sprint store. i'm starting to run out of ideas, lol.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
I'm about to do it now. wish me luck lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Good luck! Any progress?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
not yet. havent started but was wondering about which order to start it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864348

based on post 9 I would just

1: flash the dk18 modem?

2: then flash the stock rom?

3. remove cwm?

does that make sense?

I mean I would want to keep cwm till the end just incase something goes haywire and I can restore
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
I'm a bit confused on this as I have never done it myself. I would think flashing the stock rom would remove your root, unless it has root baked in. Maybe you could pm the poster, Davidrules, as I know he is pretty active on this site and would probably clarify for ya. Otherwise, yeah, I would hold off on flashing the 'remove root' zip.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seoulseek80:
well nothing happened. None of those files worked. It opened then aborted due to the ext4 script
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Oh shoot, and there's that complication too!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Can you use Rom manager to flash CWM 2 and boot into that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
Yo Impaler, how's it goin' today? Lol

Also, what happens when in Clockwork 3 you choose reboot recovery? Sometimes that takes you to the stock recovery and you can do the 'apply update.zip' thing? Literally just throwing out ideas here, lol.

Another quick question that hasn't really affected me but got me curious.

Is there a difference between upgrading to 2.2 via odin compared to an update.zip?

I did it the update.zip way, and I'm curious to know if that made any difference. (Although I don't think ive had any problems with flashing roms and themes) so just curious.

There shouldn't be. The update zip method didn't even work for me though, so I have to use ODIN :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Hah okay. The reason I ask is because I'm on my third phone (first time I flashed a rom without debug mode or wiping. It was my first flash, I was stupid.) And the second time was trying to flash ext4 (not sure why it didn't work. I think what I did wrong was my rom had the kernal baked in already for ext4, and I flashed the ext4 kernal seperate afterward), but I'm happy with rfs.

I was just wondering if my updating method had to do with it

Another question...I made a thread about it but I seem to get a faster reply here.

I am running Nebula ROM 1.0.6 RFS

My question is (and I need a 100% sure answer) do I just flash the Bonsai ROM 2.0.1 over this one?

I looked in the instructions and it says not to wipe anything. Now a couple of questions.

- will I get ext4 with this ROM?

- would you recommend flashing this over another one?

- does having a theme affect anything?

- has anyone done this switch before? If so, was it successful?

- will I lose all my data?

Thanks, in advance

Here's what you'll have to do. Get CWM3, which will convert your system to EXT4. Flash the Bonsai rom without wiping anything, which will save and restore all your apps and data after the wipe :D

Over the other ROM? You SURE it will work?

And do I make the nandroid backup before going to cwm3?

Yes and yes ;) That's the way it's made.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Alright...I'm praying this will work.

So to run everything through:

Turn on USB debugging.

Go to cwm, and do a nandroid backup.

update it to cwm3 (could you give me a link to download this)

Flash the ROM without wiping ANYTHING.

Reboot?

Sent from my Epic 4G
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Correct, and make sure you flash the rom from CWM3! You'll need to boot into it using the three finger method, not rom manager or anything like that. Should be orange if you boot into it correctly and it'll start an EXT4 conversion. Flash after the conversion is done ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Okay thanks! So, cwm3 should be orange and when its there it will automitcally convert everything.

Then I flash the rom, and reboot.

Using this ROM (Tried the first and second ones listed on the second post). If there's something better, I'm open to suggestions.

I got dk28 no problem using Odin. Put the .zip file for Frankenstein FROYO on my SD card (16 gig with 10 gigs free if that matters, its the one one that came with the phone). Did the one click root. Booted to Clockwork3, and it did it EXT4 conversion. I did a wipe, then installed the .zip from the SD card (all from Clockwork, as instructed in that guide). When the install completes, it brings me back to the Clockwork menu, and does not reset. I navigate to "reboot phone" and it hangs at the Samsung screen. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, and nothing happened, so I rebooted by removing the battery. Tried again (wipe, and install .zip) same results.

well my ROM manager is giving me issues saying I don't have CWM Recovery installed, although I can clearly boot into it. And therefore, will not let me flash a recovery.:mad:

any suggestions for the most painless way to fix it or alternate recovery method?

let's see... to go to DK28 roms you will need to:

-install the DK28 modem with Odin

-reroot with one-click CWM 3 if you choose to run on ext4 file system

-go into recovery using the 3-button method

-wipe, and flash rom of choice

hope this helps.

As far as a backup goes though.. How am I going to image this with my current cwm?

you just back it up in Clockwork. to get there, first power down, then hold the volumedown button and camera button, and the power button, all at the same time.... hold them down until Clockwork comes up. if you press power first by accident, the phone will boot up like normal, so maybe hold the first 2 down first, then add the power button :)

So Imp or anyone else lurking about tonight, I have a question for those of you well-experienced with pre-release Epic Froyo as it relates to the whole 'ability to move apps to SD card' ability that comes with it.

Once those of us who have still stuck with Eclair/stock up to this point have finally updated next week, does the new OS include some easy/natural way in which to move apps all at once to the card, or is that something that each app dev has to include featurewise within their particular app in order to be able to do? Thanks in advance. :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
You'd have to do it via each app in native 2.2, but Titanium backup makes it easy to do in one click :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PythonFanTN:
Awesome, and I did root primarily to be able to install/use that as well as Roam Control so I'm good there. So basically the only holdup then will be rerooting post-official release (or have I misunderstood and the current one-click rooting method will still work as-is to re-root after EB13 update)?
