This stuff is not for the faint of heart !! Bricking a $300.00 phone is stressfull !!
Okay ... after much trial and error, this is what I did and I have what looks to me to be a stock rooted EE4. I am sure it is not stock as I used imnuts' debloated tar but that's fine, it is working and not trying to send me an update.
Okay, regardless of what I went thru to get to this point, these are the steps I took to have the phone updated to EE4 and rooted.
via Odin 3 I rolled the phone back to ED1 using the [ODIN] Stock Rooted ED1 (downgrade from ED2) [2011.05.18] file found in the Dev forum.
The phone re-booted and was again a stock rooted ED1 and it was trying to push me the EE4 update. I DID NOT update the phone OTA.
I immediately took the battery back out and went back into Odin and flashed imnuts' debloated ee4 file found at [ROM][06-10-2011] EE4 Debloated V4.2.1 in the dev forum.
When re-booting after this flash, the Samsung logo stayed on the screen for what must have been a good 8+ minutes. There was a sexy female voice that would occasionally talk to me and soothe my nerves during this process. The phone rebooted !!
After flashing I rebooted and the phone was trying to push the ee4 update to me. I went into 'about phone' and checked and what it showed was
Baseband Version
i510.06.V.EE4
SCH-I510.EE1
Build number
SCH-I510.ED1
I then went into the build.prop editor using SGS Tools and changed all instances of ED1 to EE4. I believe there are 5 of them to change.
After saving the changes I rebooted the phone. Upon re-start, I went back in and checked the build number and it is
SCH-I510.EE4
The phone is not attempting to send any system updates and it IS rooted.
I then went into it with Titanium and deleted a lot of the useless pre-installed apps.
So far so good. It looks to me like it's where I wanted it.
Dude, that's complicated. But if it works, then it works. Cant complain against that, huh?
Here is what I did.
Flash back to stock ED1 rooted. Take the OTA update, flash droidxcon's ee4 package 3, flash kejar's sdcard fix, flash imnuts debloated v4.2.1, and boom. You're rooted EE4 with EE4 basebands.
After that, I flashed Gummy.
LOL... I think it's actually less complicated than I am wordy !!!
Rollback to ED1
Flash imnuts debloated EE4
Edit build.prop
That's all there really was to it.
That gives EE4 Basebands and EE4 Build
The rest of the book was just me explaining the process I took in checking everything.
But like ya said, it's the end result that matters !!

My mistake .... the build.prop edits did remove the ED2 update requests. NOW I have the EE4 update trying to be pushed to the phone and I thought it was still the ED2 .... Will taking the EE4 kill the root? I am running the stock ED1 root rollback Odin with edited build.prop
why are you still avoiding ed2 to begin with? it was rooted weeks ago.
Was trying to flash back from epf1 leaked to CI510_VZW_ED2_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL986330.tar.md5 but now no matter what i do i cant fix the baseband unknown error.
These are the files i've tried flashing with odin and havent had any luck.
CI510_VZW_ED2_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL986330.tar.md5
CI510_VZW_EG2_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL199635.tar.md5
CI510_VZW_EP1F_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL300919_Rooted_Debloated.tar.md5
gb_ep1f_bloated.tar.md5
tried installing these with battery on while using odin and battery off.... no luck
Have you tried PST to flash it?

yes, didnt work
i followed the following post

Same thing is happening to me. Happened after the OTA EE4 update. Had signal just fine on ED1 before the update. Phone is wiped and bone stock right now, baseband unknown after the update, so I'm taking it to the Verizon store.
Here's something to try. (I didn't use PST since I'm only really familar with ODIN and it seemed to work for me).
1) ensure you are using ODIN 1.82. I was using ODIN 1.3 earlier and it seemed to have some issues. :-/
2) using the original ED1 tar file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087342 download and extract the .md5 file
3) Connect your phone, place in download mode and run ODIN 1.82, under "PDA"
select the .md5 file you downloaded and extracted.
4) Remove SIM card as the directions in the above link state (I dunno if required)... but put your battery back in. I think this is REQUIRED when flashing lte_modem.bin part or the files.
5) flash with ODIN and restart once completed.
This reset my phone back to ED1 completely, including writing ED1 modems, which... prior, had been stuck on the EP1F leaked versions. :-(
I suspect it will do the same for your lack of baseband, too.

thats exactly what happened to me. after i ran the ee4 update.
I'm running the gingerclone rom and went ahead and let the update do it's thing just so that i'd stop getting the damn notification. I'm well aware that the update doesn't actually work when rooted/rom'ed/etc.
my question is; how do i update (after odin stock, etc)? do i just go to software update? is it even possible to still update after i already (technically) did it?
my goal is to flash the new kg2 'rom' sdu posted
thanks boys.
The rom I posted/am posting won't actually look any different to you, as it's stock, it just has some backend changes called deodexing, that basically allows for theming and customization by the rom creators. If you used the odin stock KG2 from ayoteddy that was recently posted, you are already on the new update. If you only used the old KD1 odin post, then you can either download and flash my update, or just use ayoteddy's KG2 odin.
Inherited a Droid Charge running GummyCharged 2.1 from my housemate.
I want to switch to Eclipse 2.0. I know in order to run FP1 builds, you need to run stock kernel if you want wifi. Except, I also noticed that the PBJ kernel recently fixed the wifi issue.
I'm under the impression you're told to revert to stock, run OTA update, then flash your FP1 ROM so you have the latest stock kernel.
Or is there more to it than the kernel?
I'd rather skip the revert/flash/etc/etc, I updated to the latest CWM, made a backup, factory restored, wiped cache/dalvik, flashed ROM, flashed kernel, rebooted, everything seems fine (wifi working no issues). But... that doesn't mean that it is.
EDIT: Yeah, my baseband in About Phone shows i510.06 V.EE4 SCH-I510.EE1, which is what it was before. Can I get just the baseband?
Thanks!
By the way, I don't care about carrier signal at all, this phone got wet and no longer accepts SIM cards. The other functions still work, so I'm using it on wifi and I'm trying to re-purpose the device to be a portable offline GPS for hiking. But I did read that FP1 gets better GPS locks, which is part of why I want to run it.
U cant get the fp1 upgrade on a cstom rom. U have to go back to stock n get the ota upgrade. I suggest usin titanium to back up ur stuff then flash what u want. Stock fp1 or pjb 5/24 r both good, but u gta get back to factory first.

Actually, I figured "what you do do well" and I decided to follow the suggested directions. I used ODIN, restored to stock EP4... and couldn't get past the main screen. Can't read SIM cards, so can't get past the activate screen. I then flashed back an FP1 rom, the latest PBJ kernel, and [attempted] to use the EP4 to FP1 patch, which hung and failed.
It looks like if I want to get my baseband to FP1, I'll have to jump through hoops (maybe flashing a stock EP4 pre-rooted ROM from ODIN? maybe?) Regardless, since the CDMA antenna in this thing is useless anyway, I'm just gonna skip it.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, now that you have borked your phone a bit, go and download the EP4 ODIN package and flash it (in ODIN or SamsungPST). Might not be a bad idea to flash the PIT while you're at it. You'll probably have to flash CWM, and then PBJ from within CWM (stock kernel overwrites it) Then go and try flashing your ROM of choice again (cough *tweaked* cough), either in ODIN (with the respective package) or CWM. (again with the proper package).

thanks kvswim, that's pretty much exactly what I did yesterday. I'm even running Tweaked 2.1
It's too bad, I really prefer the theme of Eclipse, but I just couldn't handle the lack of TSM Parts.
The craziest thing happened to me, but as of 9PM PST, this worked for me.
I was on UCLF5 rooted, debloated.
I wanted to be 100% stock, so I did this through Kies thinking I'll probably have to go back to 2.3.5 first. Then it would let me upgrade to 4.0.4....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749021&highlight=kies
But when my device rebooted, I was on 4.0.4 UCLF6! All my apps were there. Nothing had to be restored, but I lost root and all bloat showed back up. Still, it saved me hours of work!
This might be a better option than ODIN for some. It's like a unrooted 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 Kies upgrade, but starting from UCLF5. I think this deserves it's own thread because the link above is a thread for people expecting to go back to 2.3.5.
Lastly, this worked for me, but I can't guarantee it'll work for you too. Backup first!
