Yeah I couldn't get passed samsung logo at first, just give it 3-4 minutes and it will load up... THANKS to all for the help, if you follow directions from DI18 everything works extremely smooth.

[robomav]

the first time you boot the phone after updating can take a few minutes usually.

The only problem I've seen is sprint zone FC twice i didn't even realized I had it open... and then I cant figure out how to get my music player widget back to one of my pages

[Paul627g]

Will this work with DG17? I just traded for an Epic, and the Sprint Rep did a factory reset, which got rid of any updated Firmware.

It should, I have helped users go from DG27 and DI17 to Eclair and Froyo using other Odin packages.

ideas? help please

Same thing I had, I was able to flash without the battery but I still can't get passed the looping samsung logo...Im going to try flashing an EB13 .tar and see if that helps

I was able to reflash the EB13.tar from here http://forum.androidcentral.com/epic...ked-phone.html and get a working phone again.

After returning to stock EB13 I was able to flash the EC05.tar via Odin it is all working now.

My recommendation for individuals on EB13 Ext4 roms odin back to stock EB13 before attempting this.

I will talk to DroidXcon, he was going to make a package for me that would "Wipe" the phone as Odin normally does. This could be "part" of the reason some people are having problems. I ran the package personally 3 times. First time I did get the boot loops, it was like 2am and we had been working on getting this together for a few hours so I might have goofed. My 2nd attempt was from EB13/CWM3/EXT4 running Baked Snack and it worked fine. 3rd attempt was from Eclair 2.1 (DI18) and it worked fine.

Don't panic friends, if get a "FAIL" you should still be fine and can simply reboot back into Download Mode and try again or flash to Eclair/Froyo EB13 and try again. DroidXcon has made plenty of these packages for his normal section the "Samsung Fascinate" and has had excellent success. I believe he removed a few things from the normal Odin packages that would be the culprit of a "permabrick" to protect you the user in case of a FAILED flash or something else going wrong.

Anyways.. I will see if DroidXcon has that new "WIPE" package ready to go and that should completely resolve any issues.

Hey no big deal, I knew I wasn't bricked. If anyone has issues they should just do what I did and Odin to stock EB13 then Odin to EC05 and your phone will work again. Just make sure you do a back up with my back up root and you can get all your apps plus data back, I wouldn't recommend backing up the system setting because there are always issues.

PLus it is always good to start fresh once in a while.

*Of note I was unable to get to EXT4 and CWM 3.0.0.6 using the one click method. I just got pushed into a vibrate loop after flashing the bonsaii kernel.

[RickB]

Can I flash this from a stock Eclair ROM that came with the phone?

[egkor]

Started w/ Epic @ EB13.

Followed the procedure earlier in this thread. Downloaded/extracted the files, installed the USB drivers (the alternate/Samsung(?) driver install worked for me w/ Win Vista 64) before Odin could see my Epic in download mode via USB.

All in all, EC05 looks to be working, had my first exposure to Odin, am now rooted, really appreciate the time and effort to make this update available!

A big THANKS!!!

Easy as can be! I just did it and it took about 4 minutes. I was on EB13 with one click root.

I am at work and have no phone service, so I can't speak for any changes other than:
BASEBAND VERSION
S700.0.5S.EC05

BUILD NUMBER
FROYO.EC05

Thank you! Hopefully this fixes my Bluetooth issues.

[ericrosen17]

can anyone pleese post this EC05x DXC.tar.rar file on mediafire and or google direct download because my school has blocked everyother download site pleeeese and thanks.

i have tried to google it and i get nada

[irayge]

First time having a rooted android, went from EB13 without any trouble, was much easier than I would have thought (only took about 2 minutes). everything seems to be working fine and nothing was wiped.

Thanks!

[billfold]

Thank you for this, it worked great! I ended up using ODIN to flash DB13, and then went straight to EC05

[Paul627g]

Can I flash this from a stock Eclair ROM that came with the phone?

Yes just follow the instructions in the first post.

[tmgolf]

Worked great! Went from EB13 to EC05 with no issue. I did the manual update from DK28 to EB13 and phone acted a bit screwy. All is good now. Also upgraded 2 other Epic's without issue. Good instructions.

[tmgolf]

Worked great. Went from EB13 to EC05 without issue. Also did manual update from DK28 to EB13 and phone acted a bit screwy. Got tired of waiting for OTA update. Did same for 2 buddies phones, all is good. Thanks for the instructions, easy to follow.

[bjs188]

ok, I tried re downloading drivers, tried EB13, tried DI18 and EC05. I think my phone is bricked. I can boot into download mode, and sometimes into CWM, but every time it fails. Even tried reflashing truly epic rebirth from sd card, no go. I tried different usb cables, different ports.

my phone is now mostly unresponsive. if i power up it shows a little pic of a phone some dots ... and exclamation mark in a triangle ! .....then a computer. uh. is it dead yet?

[JStewartx]

Thanks Paul, can't wait to get home : )

[elbaso]

I'm eager to jump on this, but I have a question that's been nagging me for a while...

I'm running the ACE 1.7 ROM, which is on EXT4. I'm assuming my data won't get transitioned into EC05 by itself, and that I'll need to use Titanium to backup and restore.

Now, since I'd be going from EXT4 to RFS in this process, would this affect my Titanium backup? Is it able to reliably backup from EXT4, and restore to RFS, without any problems?

I've been having quite a few FC's since getting ACE 1.7, and I did restore my data using Titanium. I've found that wiping the data for the FC'ing apps (and sometimes removing and reinstalling) tends to stop the FC's. I just don't want the same experience on EC05.

Thanks for the great work! The Epic ROM community on this board is the best!

I know it sounds stupid but did you try using odin with out the battery in? That worked for me when they kept failing.

[darkstar52585]

[jbarna]

Well Done! Thank you for the hard work. Once it started it took 2:42 to finish. The only issue I had was google didn't recognize my sign in so I had to put in my account pass again.

[duratime]

First time using Odin, and I got it on the first try, not problems or issues. Thanks!
