[Q] How do i flash my samsung epic back to stock. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to download the "unofficial" android 2.2 update for my epic. But I want to be able to flash back to stock so I can download the "official" android 2.2 version.
I already know how to install the unofficial froyo update. I don't know how to flash back to stock so I can dl the official version when its released.
I also do not have a computer so I have been using astro file manager to do it all with my phone.
Any help will be very much appreciated thanks.

After ROM update?

If I apply Axura ROM now, when the T-Mobile official Android 2.2 is released, will I be able to update my phone with the official ROM from T-Mobile?
when the official ROM drops, somebody here will almost certainly find an ODIN flashable version of it, which is quite honestly, the best way to apply any rom update.
Or there will be a flashable version for clockwork.
Or you could Odin/CW back to stock JI6 & get the OTA yourself.
Many ways to get the new hotness.

[Q] Help: Samsung Galaxy Ace Gingerbread Update

Hello everyone. This thread will be the conclusion for my posts here about upgrading my SG Ace android phone to Gingerbread. I'm on Android Froyo 2.2.1 (S5830DXKC1) now and planning to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.3 KPN. I already have the "one-package" file for this update from samfirmware site. I also have Odin, cooper and everything needed for the update. And also I already know how to flash.
Questions:
1. Which is more safe/suitable to use, upgrading using "one-package" file or using "full-package" file?
2. Some says, I must upgrade 2.3.3 using "full-package" first (like KPE) before I flash KPN using "one-package" file. Based on them, flashing "one-package" file with different platform (like 2.2.1 to 2.3.3) will be not successful. Is this true?? I need your confirmation.
Hope to clear this up on my mind. I'm really craving to update my phone. Thanks alot! hope to hear from you guys asap! Godbless!
Ya dude thats right but not neccesary to use first 2.3.3 full package first. You can use any fullpackage. I use 2.3.4 full packge first then flash one package 2.3.3 if you directly flash that then you phase bootlooping.

[Q] running motorola update

I am running motorola software update and everytime I try I get there is no software update at this time. I want to re-install the offical motorola atrix att update but seem unable to. My att atrix is rooted and is running the stock rom.
is your phone from at&t? as far as I know, there's no recent update since 2.3.4 was released.
Yeah what are you talking about? It sounds like you are on stock already, just rooted.

Why do you want to install the latest again if you are currently running it, which it appears you are if there is no update available?
If you want to just reinstall your stock ROM, and you are already on the latest ROM, you cannot do this through update. You will have to flash the latest ROM (which would be your current version) via other means such as RSDLite and a SBF, or via fastboot per the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
Link above is for AT&T device.
It is adviseable to NOT flash a SBF though.
Simple search and some reading will give you all the information you need, but it sounds like you probably have no experience or you wouldn't be asking this, so I would say to be very careful and/or not do anything with your phone if stock is what you want.

[Q] Hey guys...A little confused...

i am new to this device but i am not new to xda. i just picked up this device recently and im coming from the huawei ideos x6 forum. i am very familiar with odin and know how to use it. i was reading on the root thread and found that i have to go back to jfd 2.1 with odin. in the root guide i downloaded odin but the stock files i need to put into odin to flash are not there. can anybody be so kind to point me where i can find them? i am wanting to go to jelly bean which i have now on my other device and would like to use this device as my daily driver instead of my other. is there an easier way to get where i need to go? my goal is to have the latest cwm recovery and be running a jelly bean rom. any suggestions on how you guys think i should get to the point where i need to be? and my device is currently unlocked. thanks guys and all suggestions and opinions are greatly appriciated.
Oh i forgot my current software details are;
Model number: SGH-T959
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version:T959UVKA2
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
Build Number: ECLAIR.UVKA2
Yes you should to go back to stock then you can flash JB, it takes two flashes to successfully flash JB (first flash upgrades cwm). As for the files to revert to stock with Odin, you can find them here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106 (they are located 8th post down if the link doesn't directly take you there). Note, after flashing to stock you will need the update.zip B (from the root/odin sticky) on your internal sd card which will give you cwm on stock , then you can flash JB (remember to flash twice). You can also find the stock JFD files in the bible thread , go herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982728 and click ROMS, then click stock JFD at the bottom of the list. You may need to unlock your phone again after going to stock, if so go here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...lIDoBg&usg=AFQjCNGhnJw3ZNH4_1OmhoQ9kfkjeYaf5Q and download galaxy s unlock , to unlock your phone again.
