Help with modem upgrade (flashable?)

[golden_35]

Having trouble getting my computer to recognize my Epic 4g via odin. Tried using 4 different usb cords on three different computers. I was able to get my Epic 4g to show up once upon a time a long time ago and flashed EF02 onto it

Im unhappy with the modem and have heard that EC05 is the most stable/best modem released yet. Is there a flashable update.zip that I can use? I found this, but the link to the download is broken: http://forums.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/73397-eb13-ec05-modem-flash.html

I really don't want to fool around with Odin anymore and would love to flash from my EF02 modem to the EC05 modem w/ CWM (assuming thats the best modem).

You will need to use Odin to flash the modem.. You can't "downgrade" from GB modem to a Froyo modem using CWM. Those couple CWM flashable zips were for those coming from Eclair/Froyo EB13 to EC05.

Edit: There is another option for you to get back to stock since your having problems with recognizing on Odin.

Try this link over at XDA, it will allow you to put CWM flashable files on your sdcard and return your device to complete stock EC05. Then from there you can do as you please.

Can I return to stock to get the EC05 modem and then use my Nandroid backup to restore my Rom/Apps/Settings, or will the Nandroid restore put the EF02 modem back on?

The ONLY way to change modems is with odin.

Yeah, I've watched all of qbking's videos. No avail. Anyhow, I'm going to try Paul's method.

Thanks to all.

Paul, I flashed the original firmware back on the phone (EC05), but the modem stayed at EF02!! Any advice?

Or do I need to do a full stock restore?

Thanks
