Hi guys sorry im new, but i have the di18 update and would like to go back to di07 and update to di18 over the air instead of using the update file which i got from this site because my upload speeds are better but not good. im getting 300kb average with 5 bars of service, and i would like to update over the air and get a legit update..... i am not rooted and would like to stay that way if possible... thank yoU!!!
You don't need root, just odin3 and the right files.
My only suggestion is to do this via Odin. It will take you back to a fully stock phone though, so any apps you have installed will be gone.
Download the DI07 tar file from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
Then download both Odin and the .pit file and follow the instructions from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
thx guys! another dumb ? tho is my kernal stock? the only thing ive done is use the di18 update.zip from this site?
Yes, it should be. Although if your flashing back to DI07, it will fully replace everything anyway (kernel, rom, everything), all you need is the main .tar file (in first link), the .pit file (in second link), and Odin (in second link) to flash them. Although, you could also go directly to DI18 the exact same way withough messing with any updates from the first link.
Just make sure you follow the instructions correctly so you dont end up bricking your phone, as that is always a possibility when doing something like this.
Honestly though, I really dont see the need to go back to DI07 just so you can do an over the air update, as the DI18 update you will get is the exact same one you got from here, and as I said above, there is always a risk (no matter how small) of something going wrong and messing up your phone.
thank you very much, but i got the di18 update from here before it was released and everyone was having trouble getting it, and now it seems my upload speeds are HORRIBLE even tho i have di18 i get like 300-320 kb upload average sometimes lower with 5 bars service? so thinking maybe getting a better update would help or solve watever is wrong ty so much!!!
I used the same Update.zip file to update 3 different Epic's, (my original phone, and two for friends) and they are not experiencing issues with network speed at all, nor did I when I still had my initial phone before I got it exchanged (on an unrelated matter).
How are you judging your upload speeds anyway? The speedtest.net app? Because for me, depending on the server, it will fluctuate between 75 and 900 depending on the time of day and the server location.
im new so it wont let me post links for some reason, could u post the link to the di18 u got from here? the one i got was a very small file and i just seen the new one that was 200+mb and the one i downloaded was from here but not nearly that big so i was thinking maybe it wasnt the full update im not sure what happend but my phone says di18 and if i run 8 speed tests the highest ill get is about 330kb lowest is about 180kb and yea speedtest is what i use thanks again man, but if you can post the link to the one u use ill let u no if its the one i used...it was called update.zip
o and i have di18 so if i use the odin and use the di18 from here will it like reinstall it? or not work at all?
Well, the download in the first link I gave you includes everything for the phone, it will completely wipe everything on the phone and redo it... While the update.zip is just that, and update which only replaces a couple files or so, which is why it is so much smaller.
I believe the one I downloaded was the one from HERE. All I did was rename it to Update.zip and place it in the root of my sd card, then flashed it via recovery.
ok thats the same one i used, i just dont understand why my upload speeds are so horrible with great service, and its not just tonight ihave checked several times due to the fact it bothers me lol but i guess ill keep wat i got so thank you very much you were a HUGE HELP!
I don't know if you know this it not but you can use odin to get your phone to complete DI18 stock.
The thread to download the file is in the sticky in this forum. Then just search for one of the Odin tutorials and just use that latest file.
I've done this with my phone and I have had 0 speed problems. I get 300kbps on barely one bar.

Have you checked you upload speeds on a different phone to compare? Sprint doesn't have the fastest network in the world and that is not too different than the upload speed I am getting. Right now where I am sitting I get 4 bars and my 3g upload speed is 250 kbps.

Hi all im having a brain malfunction,
i have infuse 4 g att with latest "non rooted" 2.3.6 gingerbread from at&t I997uckl2
kernal version 2.6.35.7-I997uckl2-cl806505
gingerbread.uckl2
now my malfunction, i have dl the latest zues rom updated 3-5-12
i cannot seem to figure out 2 things. how to install cwm onto phone "need root" i think,
and 2 and here is where i get called a noob, so i placed the zues build onto my sdcard tried to update form there however, 1 when i get into the directory to update from sd i cannot find the zip "dont have win zip have winrar"
can anyone help a poor sod with a slap and direct me/give links to correct program to install cwm/and zues.
i have odin 1.81 i did dl a zip for cwm-uckl2 however i cannot seem to figure out how to interface it to phone to install it ntm from what i can see odin looks for a pit file/ .tar and i show in my cwm folder under updates modem.bin and redbend_ua
ive done this before but after the last update from at&t im lost
check out the forum below, it has everything you need. You need to root the phone first, install 3eRecovery and CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
thanks but i think i failed to say this is the STOCK version of gingerbread the one there is no root for.
thats where im having issues windows is blatently retarded and will not allow heimdall to see the phone. if i have the phone on and connected zadig.exe runs finds phone installs drivers and all cool but then when i go to put phone in dl mode all a sudden i no longer have the device"phone " listed.
so i go to super one click ver. 2.3.3 after it loads 198 zerglings and pauses it fails in middle of step 7.
the real issue here is rooting, thats the real problem, once i root and or flash a rom thats rooted in order to finally instal the zues rom is my goal.
so im at a loss as to what file to actually use where it is able to be installed with out this samgung/at&t from feb,
fail rom lol "i hate at&t if you cant tell. thanks for any help
the same guy below was having the same problems as you I think...you have to flash Entropy512's kernel first I believe using ODIN which can be found on the second link I provided. The first link provides everything, I'd try to explain but I don't want to mess you up.

So, the power button on my captivate took a dump on me yesterday. Grabbed a skyrocket this morning. Got home and started reading. After about 6 hours of reading and familiarizing myself with the rom flashing process, I've decided on the [ROM]SKY ICS--- 4.2D-9 (4/28/12) rom.
So, I read and read. Think I've got it. Well, crap. I guess not...I'm on step 1b and can't get any farther- it says I need to flash a new modem before going to step 2... Grab the UCLC4 modem, flash via CWM like I'm supposed to. Well, when I go to get into the APN settings to create new APN per instructions in the thead, it won't let me in...tells me I need to install a SIM card. Problem is that my SIM card is already installed, it's just not recognizing that it's installed...
So, this happens. OH CRAP. I think, well, no worries, just reinstall the UCLA3 modem that was in there before, so I search, find it, install, and bam! I'm getting a signal...wait, though...no 4g signal at all! So, I think, well, I'll just worry about the new one, maybe it just needs a new flash...so I re-flash UCLC4, and get the same problem!!!
Can anyone help me out? I sure didn't have this kind of issue with my cappy, and the process seems the same, but for some reason, I'm feeling lost.....
****EDIT***
or, do I just need to flash the modem first, install everything, and THEN make the changes?
****Edit #2***
I'm also having trouble just getting the ROM file to download....I get to 12 or 13 percent, and it just quits....any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help. XDA folks really were saviors for me at times with the Captivate, and I'm hoping for the same here...

Yes. When on GB flash the ICS modem first, THEN flash ICS ROM. See here for mhx's ROM, and follow his instructions. That will get you on ICS quite nicely. Then you're free to unleash other ICS ROMs.

Good luck !
Excellent. Appreciate it!! I think the download issue is one with my comp...I've found that if I pause and resume download periodically, it goes smoother...
Well...another thanks to the folks here at XDA. Got it up and running and I LOVE IT!!
ok, here goes. i saw a video on youtube
(i'm a new member, so i'm replacing this link. the video is "Root & Install Ice Cream Sandwich On The Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant No Computer Needed" by eddie1west)
it seemed so easy, right? i'm looking for the most stable Tmobile Vibrant ICS. Before i do that, now i have to un-junk my phone. i tried to follow that guy's instructions to put the new OS on my vibrant, but i messed something up along the way. Then i realized when he shows his phone's files, they have a different name and/or version than the links he provides. that may have had something to do with it, but it could also be that he started from stock in january, and i started from gingerbread in july....
well i put some update.zip file in the root (but was never shown when or if it needs removed), then finally got the phone rooted (but when i held all 3 buttons i never got the BLUE menu like he did. mine was RED until i applied his update.zip and then it was only GREEN until i rebooted. it always starts at RED), then installed his gingerbread over mine, then tried to load his link to ICSv13 (even though the one he used was v10), but all i got was a never ending boot. i thought maybe i needed to start from where he did, so i watched his other video (LINK REPLACED: "How To Go Back To Stock Eclair On Your Samsung Galaxy S With Odin 1.3" by eddie1west) and tried to start all over (but his download links didn't work and i had to find all the files singly). So, using odin v1.85 (but he used v1.3), i only ended up getting froyo (not eclair) and NO google apps icon....! Sigh
then it seemed like every link i clicked to try to fix my issues just brought me to this website. so i'm thinking you all must know your shhhhhhhtuff! i've read through so many forum pages like the "enable a lagfix"/"disable a lagfix" pages, the "flash with 2 files"/"flash with 3 and check a box" pages, sometimes Odin has PDA as the second button and sometimes it's third, some that say to flash without that update.zip file (so delete, flash, then put it there? then leave it?). and to top it all off, most answers take me to an older page (and program or file versions have changed or have updates since then....all newer stuff still compatible with each other?) AND a lot of the links i've clicked on are broken and i have to hope the file i find is the same as the instruction writer intended. (i guess if a file size was indicated, i could compare them kb for kb...)
about an hour ago, i was going to reflash some OS that kind of worked, then try to disable those 2 voodoo commands some page said to enable, then take the update.zip out, then try everything all over again when i got the message "CONVERT PARTITION, SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE, CONVERT PARTITION, SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE"!
THEN i thought.....HANG ON! JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A P3N1S DOESN'T MEAN THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST STOPPING AND ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS!!!! LOL!
So I stopped messing with the phone. From where i am right now, how do i get to a stable version of ICS? Will someone please give me a step-by-step list on what to do now? And can the list include file links that aren't broken (or a single zip file with everything in it would be like hitting the lottery!) and things i can look for to know i'm on the right track at the 1/3 mark and 2/3 mark possibly?
and could i please get a little forgiveness for being so long-winded when i get frustrated? and a tissue? and something to hit? (well..while i'm begging...can i get a large stuffed-crust meat-lover's and some diet dew too?) i may have found the reason that so many people use drugs! lol!
FYI, i'm on T-mobile using a T959V
FOLLOW UP-----
I moved this question here because I was just informed that the Vibrant is NOT the name of the Galaxy S 4G!
So what ur saying is the update.zip works on the t959v? And gives you root......I had a good feeling it would.
But anyhow you should go to the dev tab here in this forum and dl gremlin remover (one click)! and use that to get u back to stock.
We do not have a stable ics.
We are just now getting cm9 ics but you've got to understand its not perfect yet.....stick with gb for awhile and learn how this phone functions.
And don't worry...like the vibrant .....this phone is in my findings.....unbrickable

That is quite correct. They are different animals. If the gremlin remover doesn't help or get you where you need to go, I'd suggest using The T959V Heimdall One-Click Collection. Following the instructions there will get you back to a booting, stock Gingerbread ROM. From there you can go find ROM/ROMS of your liking (we have great developers) and give it/them a go.
Let us know if you need help.
well i meant the MOST stable Android 4 (aka cm9? ice cream)... or, for that matter, Android 3 (aka cm8? french silk pie? twinkie? zinger? lol! yum.....) would work too...
ok, i'll go find that program this afternoon/evening and fix the phone. (i just have to remember not to get that prog wet or feed it after midnight....)
now that i feel like an accidental guinea pig because i found you an answer you didn't know, then do you want me to test the compatibility of anything else out on it before i fix it? post your working links and i'll report back.
also, thanks for the gremlin help.
@stephen_w
is there an Odin one-click zip dealy thingy (and yes, that IS the technical term )
Lol I'm good I use to have the vibrant and just had a feeling this phone could have been rooted without hooking up to a comp.
Gremlin remover is an an Odin one click in itself.

Hi,
I was having wifi issues after flashing multiple stock roms, and kernels. So, in a fit, I decided to repartition and start fresh. I know, it wasn't my brightest moment. Any way, the thing is, all the roms that I have, comes with only the pda file.
Now, I need any stock firmware with modem and csc files, so that I can get my phone back. Any firmware that comes with these two files will do. I can't download multiple firmware to check as my connection speed is 256 kbps only. I would prefer if someone can help me get these files.
Also, if someone can tell me, whether I will need a new bootloader too? If yes, then where can I find the same.
Many thanks!!!
XXKPE comes with all the files. Use that.

I spent almost a whole day downloading this from a website that throttles download speeds if you're not a premium member or whatever. Lol. And then spent about an hour uploading it to my drive so that I could share it with everyone that has a J727P. Lol. I haven't been able to test it on my phone yet, but this is the Boost variant for the J7 Perx. I did open the archive in 7zip though and all of the files are present. Let me if it works and whatnot.
**EDIT!!**
I removed the link to the Sprint J7 Perx firmware and have added link to download the Boost Firmware. I'm sorry for linking the wrong variant!! I had scoured the internet for the firmware right after the update and didn't test it myself to make sure it was for Boost. The firmware in the link is indeed for Boost Mobile though. Carrier ID/Code is XAS instead of SPR. Sorry again to anyone that my tomfoolery has inconvenienced!!!
*****Correct J727PVPU3ARC2 Firmware For Boost Mobile*****
This link will direct you to the Boost Mobile Firmware for J7 Perx on updato. I don't have an actual ISP atm and get super crappy (super with a cape) upload speeds or I'd personally upload the files to my Google Drive and share them here like I did before. However, to my knowledge; updato doesn't throttle d/l speed, make you pay to have access to faster d/l speeds, or charge you to d/l firmware so you should be able to d/l the files fairly quickly. I use PDANet to tether my data connection to my PC and was able to d/l this firmware in roughly 15-20 minutes give or take. So, hopefully it's a little faster for those of you with an actual ISP! Although, for almost 2GB of files, 15-20 minutes isn't so bad compared to hours when downloaded from another firmware site that throttles d/l speed in order to coerce folks into paying for a premium membership. lol.

I tried this on my phone, and it worked but switched my carrier from Boostmobile to Sprint, do you happen to have the Boostmobile firmware? Or does anybody know how I could switch the carrier back to Boostmobile without losing the latest firmware update? Thanks.
I decided to download the BST (Boostmobile) firmware ARC2 myself from another website, and it is 100% working back to Boost mobile, about to root.
*BTW when I used the file Elaine uploaded, I only used the first 3 files (the BL, AP, CP) not including the CSC file, so Idk if that had anything to do with it. For the BST firmware I did use all 4 files, I don't think this would matter but I am not trying to experiment further with this! lol
Now I have to get good at removing bloat ware without bricking the phone, cause I have soft bricked it like 10 times now. So many crap apps that will mess with phone functionality it isn't funny.
So verr sorry, guy!!!

I AM SO SORRY! I downloaded the firmware I had previously provided right after the update came out and didn't realize that the Carrier ID/Code was SPR instead of XAS. I didn't test it before I shared it because I was just so excited that I had even found it and was able to share it with the xda community for our phones. I have provided a link to download the correct firmware for Boost Mobile in case anyone else needs it or in case you need to download it again for whatever reason in the future. It is in my original post on this thread as an edit. Please accept my utmost sincere apologies!!! If I would have taken the time to check the firmware personally instead of just posting it willy nilly, this would have been prevented and I am truly sorry for that. Thank you for letting me know that it was the Sprint variant instead of the Boost Mobile variant though! I'm very glad you said something so that I was able to post the correct firmware for others to avoid the misfortune that I negligently bestowed upon you. Good luck in your quest to learn more about removing bloatware as well! I'm more of a PC person than a Phone person, so I think that maybe I should stick to PCs and fixing those. Lol. Have a good day!
