No. It flashes back to stock DI07 and does not touch recovery. I believe this is to give you a clean slate before flashing ROMs or a quick fix for when somthing goes wrong flashing zips.

you still need to flash DG27 to DI07 so you can get the latest modem.bin..what does this mean??? do i have to do something after i flash this rom that is attached?

It means you have to already have the DI07 update installed first because it only flashes the system, not the modem/phone or data.

updated!!!

Here's a modem updater. You need clockwork to flash this. Rename to update.zip and copy it to the root of your sd card.
This will update your modem/baseband from DG27 to DI07.
It will not check your phone's version, but it will at least make sure using it you're on the right phone model.
It will NOT overwrite root, your kernel, or anything else. It only touches the modem.

any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).
Data Wipe + Clear Cache did not seem to help when in clockrecovery, the android market wont let me download anything

noob, would you mind posting a copy of the DG27 modem.bin file? Some of us are having issues with Bluetooth audio and I wanted to see if reverting the baseband would solve it.

Awesome, noobnl you rock. Now i'm gonna really start messin with this phone

the web page to download isnt loading for me.

Hello all I'am new hear & i'm sure this is a noob Q but if my phone is rooted & has DG27 on it can i use Clockworkmod to flash this stock.epic.DI18.rom.update.zip to update it?
The Older Build .zip file is busted i downloaded it two times & both times winrar says
Code:
! D:\net down\stock.epic.DI07.rom.update.build2.zip: Unexpected end of archive
Clockwork also said the file was no good
My question is can i update my phone from DG27 to DI18 with the first file in the OP? & then use "update-modemtoDI18.signed.zip(from post #14)" I was reading things about having to up date to DI07 before going to DI18 also if any one would be kind enough to point me to the right files & stuff to get my phone updated. I have been on this forum & a few others for about 4 hours now and i can't seem to find an answer

Yes.
you won't lose clockwork recovery but you might lose root.
if you lose root access, you simply need to re-root or flash a new kernel.

He just needs to flash a rooted kernel and that's it. Just in case.

Kernel downgrade method for EU/BR/AR Gingerbread (only for BL=3)

First,you must have version 3 BL. As I known, all EU gb have version 3 and BR/AR gb (except for persona&vivo,which is 4) too. Or you can use this tool(attachment) to check the version of CG31 in the sbf you have flashed.
After you confirm you have v3 BL,download this downgrade sbf from attachment and use RSD to flash it to your phone.Once you have done,you will have the new chinese 45.1.5 gb kernel(your BL is still 3,because this version can never be downgraded).Note!If you just want to use MIUI/CM7 based on froyo kernel, the downgrade job is already done here and you don't need to do the following steps. What you need to is just following the installation tuturial of MIUI/CM7).
Because the bootloader also check version of /system(CG39).so the original steps would not work.
Now,you already have the ability to flash the lower version sbf or said BL=2 sbf generally.But the sbf itself need to modified a bit. Download MotoAndroidDepacker from attachment and follow the following step:
1.open MotoAndroidDepacker
2.click "Open from file" and select the sbf
3.click "Split to folder" and wait for it to finish
4.open the created folder and delete CG31.smg
5.back to MotoAndroidDepacker
6.click "Open files folder" and select the created folder
7.click "Compile file" and wait for it to finish
8.now,you will get a firmware.sbf in the created folder
Now you can use RSD to flash this sbf and get a clean and complete ROM,which could be official froyo or Chinese old gingerbread 45.1.3.
New method:
1.read the steps above and know how to edit sbf
2.find an nandroid backup of froyo system
3.restore it via clockwork recovery
4.open an froyo sbf and remove CG31/CG39 and repack it
5.flash it via RSD
6.reboot your phone
Now you will go back to froyo again.
Why it works:
Recently, China Moto release a new sbf for milestone2: 2.3.4-4.5.3-109_MS2-5-111219
password: bbs.dkdiy.net
the CG31/BL version of this sbf is also 3 but the key point is this new CG31/BL also contains signatures for older kernels( all froyo kernels&chinese gingerbread kernels ). If you don't want to download the whole sbf, the cg31,also cg35/61 are contained in the downgrade sbf.

I'm sure this would be a pleasant piece of news for those who are stuck with GB. Thanks endless7.

Thanks man!! Will give it a shot. I have been craving for CH GB kernel with no multitouch bug.
Edit: As you said, that those who want to install MIUI etc etc. can just flash those ROMs after using the downgrade sbf, so I'm guessing that once I flash the downgrade sbf I should be able to flash the CH GB kernel (only the kernel if I have a flashable zip of it) as well. Am I right in assuming that?
Edit2: Cool, it works. I'm on CH GB kernel now.

Hey, ive flashed that, but, i cannot install CM7... it says Installation Aborted (bad) when i try to flash de CM7 ROM... I will try with MIUI...

Thread updated for new method. the old one is not working.

Hi,
Can someone put this file on a non chinese site ?
I'dont understand Chinese, and Google doesn't too...
EDIT : Ok... said something stupid.. The downgrade SBF is not on the chinese site... must learn to read before posting...

I used an SBF file of CH GB kernel after flashing the downgrade sbf from first post. If any one wants to try this method, here is the sbf attached.
This is what I did. I was on European GB kernel.
1. Boot into bootloader mode.
1. flash the downgrade sbf from first post (RSDLite).
2. System boots.
3. Again, boot into bootloader, flash the sbf (CH GB kernel) attached. (RSDLite)
4. System booted and done!
I haven't tried flashing a froyo build on it as of now. But my kernel shows version [email protected]# 1.

I have. I'm back on CM7 now, I was using the BR retail GB rom. Just flashed the downgrade sbf, wiped data and flashed the CM7 zip. Worked like a charm.

Endless7 you are the man! (Here in Argentina means SOS VOS!)
Thanks a lot man, i want cm7 again, and i have it now!
Thanks good luck

It's working, tks Endless7!

Work`s like a charm.

fxz FAIL, NOT from ics.

I am attempting to flash ICS, following JIMS instructions to the letter. I was running lithium 1.3.1, and per instructions downloaded the fxz for 2.3.5, I got it from here as all other links are dead, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php selecting the att US one. I read that i MIGHT get a warning about replacing the files with the instructed replace.zip, but I didn't get a warning. I do not think there were any files to replace, but have read on this forum someone using this linked file successfully. Can someone point me to a diff link, or can someone tell me what I should do next? The phone is on in fastboot mode, RSD still communicates, but flashing fails at 4/20 or 6/20 and I dont wanna turn it off for fear it wont come back on, but i have not gotten passed step 6/20 on this original fxz back to 2.3.5. Is there a step i am missing which is not in Jims instructions?

MD5 the 2.3.5FXZ that you have and see if it matches Jim's MD5: 5bd615584406ba726ad7d49a225dd6f1
If it does, just add the files from the replace.zip I attached and you should be good to go.

If those are the 2.3.6 files, it will not match my MD5, since that is for the ICS files, to get off of ICS back to 2.3.5... and that is dangerous right now....

The help is greatly appreciated. What i think i need now is an MD5 for the proper fxz for 2.3.5 or another link for this file, the only link working for me may be bad file.

Rebooted phone, attempted again, flashes all the way to system.img, but at 15/20 boot.img fails.
I can still reboot and get into ap fastboot mode, but says flash failed in ( ). every attempt to flash fxz stops at 15/20. I guess it could have something to do with lithium changing boot animation? have no ideas, just dont want to lose phone, another link for a good fxz 2.3.5 file would help, can anyone please upload somewhere or provide a link?

The FXZ is actually several files that are basically disk images of the different partitions on the phone.
Fastboot is state and a protocol that the phone is in that allows you to flash it. the moto-fatboot untility "could" be used to flash the partitions instead of RSDlite, if you want to, and that is basically how I developed my return to gb script that we have to get back from ICS.

I don't think so, because bpear's script does not flash all the partitions that RSDlite does.
You really need to use RSDlite.
It is very simple just open rsdlite, and click on the ... button and select the xml file from the fxz and tell it to start. Just make sure your phone is in fastboot mode first.

flashing ruu without wiping?

Hey all,
Earlier I had downloaded a zip file from the guide that's stickied in another thread here on XDA.
I renamed the file, and copied it to my address card, then booted to download mode and started the flash sequence. This erased everything on the phone.
What did I do wrong? Was I supposed to flash the zip via TWRP instead of flashing via download mode? Thanks in advance for any tips and advice

Sounds like you flashed a RUU
Tip: Don't flash a RUU to update if you don't want to start fresh.
Advice: double check what you are downloading.
Lol hope that helps.

Thank you! I didn't even notice the tabs. And to confirm, the only way to flash firmware without wiping is to be S-OFF? Or is dirty flashing acceptable?

Modified or unsigned firmware needs S-off. Look for signed-Firmware.zip
The signed firmware will not wipe phone.

I'm sorry for my confusion. The firmware files look like they are incremental updates lose to 100mb. I also cannot seem to find the signed zip files? And do I flash the signed zip (once I find it) within TWRP or Download mode? Your help is much appreciated..

Haven't looked inside the tabs lately, however they should all be signed firmware, as we do not have s-off yet. Firmware is flashed in download mode.

No there are no signed packages. Those on the sheet are unsigned combined ones in preparation of hopefully getting S-OFF sometime.
With respect to signed firmware packs. To make sure nothing goes wrong one would have to flash them one after another in the exact order of the OTA updates that came out. Regarding the risk of a brick if I'd provide them and someone shouldn't read the OP of my collection thread carefully I pulled them all.
If it would be possible to resign firmware packs it mightbe possible to create combined packages just like the ones for S-OFF. But as we don't know how to sign them there actually is no way of realising those.
