[Q] How to restore OTA updatability - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for the latest stock firmware that will restore the ability to receive OTA updates from VZW. Might this be it?

ANY VZW ODIN FILE WILL RESTORE oops caps will restore ota updatabillities. You can go as new or old as you want.

That is incorrect, and the linked to Odin file will not allow you to receive any OTA updates. If you want to be able to get OTA updates, you would need to use the DI01 Odin package (DI01 all-in-one) and then you could go to DL09 Odin, as long as it's the stock odin package. Flashing non-official odin images/roms/radios will prevent you from receiving OTA updates.

Actually you can odin straight to dl09, or go to di01 and ota to dl09 and then ea28

That would work as well as long as you didn't use the EB01 full odin package, if you did, I'd recommend flashing the full DI01 package prior to DL09.

If you Odin to DI01 then you will OTA to EA28. DL09 doesn't exist anymore (as far as OTAs are concerned)

You can odin to DL09 and get the EA28 OTA. Easy as that. Instead of going back to DI01

The EB01 package contains the bootloader/secondary bootloader, which, if like the i9000 Froyo release, was updated for Froyo. Will it cause a problem? I don't know for sure, but I would flash the full DI01 if the full EB01 was flashed. If you didn't flash the full EB01, then just flashing back to DL09 would be sufficient.

Is this exactly what I would need? I also can't check right now to see that the files are still hosted.

Yeah thats what you need. First link works in the OP.

I may have assumed too much. Once I get around to flashing this should the phone see the OTA right away or do I have to wait a good while?

baseband? how to update?

I upgraded to super clean 2.9.2, but baseband shows up as DI01. is that normal, or did mine not update?
Only Odin/Heimdall will work. We don't know where the modem.bin goes, so we can't use redbend_ua or any other recovery-based method.
Modem(baseband) is not included in super clean. You need to update via odin pda button. DL09 and EB01 modems work well with the latest superclean.

oh...so do I just simply flash it through odin as pda? any prerequisites?
Here is a link to the EB01 Modem.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1r7uk6gf8d6s76z
You will need to use ODIN to install this.
Use the PDA button ONLY, navigate to the location of the modem file, click it, then run odin. Your phone will reboot and verify that you have the correct baseband.
If you do not know how to use odin I highly recommend reading this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
...thoroughly before starting with odin.
Good luck!
note* the link to the guide also contains information about flashing the EB01 modem and the same link I have published here!

As long as you use the PDA button and have used odin before you should be fine. Its very straight forward. Just D/L the modem from my link and your good to go!
after I flashed through odin, there seems to be a problem with the battery...?
charge level was 51% before I flashed, but after it showed up as 100% instantly. what's going on?
I don't know the actual cause, but I would assume it has something to do with the battery stats more or less.
You might try turning the phone off and leave it charge over night and in the morning wipe the battery stats (search for this there are plenty of threads! ). Then drain it before charging next time. You should see the battery return to normal.
I wouldn't be to worried about it as I have flashed my phone(stupidly I will admit) at any number of different percentages and I still am getting great battery life.

Since I jumped into the xda forums after eb01 had come out, I've been trying to find a DL09 modem to use with Odin. Seems like most people are going crazy for thew newer basebands, but I've heard that DL09 works great with both GPS and battery life.
That said, you don't happen to have a working DL09 download link that you could toss on here do you?

Thanks dude. btw, the only time i've flashed the modem before was when I first made the jump to eb01 a month and a half ago. Is it ok to just ODIN the modem, or do I have to re-flash a rom after I flash the modem?
*edit* well, I went ahead and odin'd the modem over top of all the stuff I've already got on there. <fingers crossed> Seems to work so far.

Oh yes. I *have* used ODIN several other times, especially for recovering from some sort of boot loop and a few other issues, so I'm very familiar with the PDA button by now. But probably good to have that warning there in case anybody else reads this for help later on.

[ODIN][CWM]ED01 Stock ROM/Kernel/Recovery

I put this together for the folks that don't care about the ED01 modem and just want the stock ROM. It could also be useful for people that got the OTA, but want to go back to stock after flashing a custom ROM. I updated via Adrynalyne's method (Odin DL09, update to EA28, then ED01) that he posted here.
There are two versions, one for Odin, the other for CWM. The Odin version is still rooted, but otherwise stock. It will flash the ROM, kernel, and recovery, as well as perform a factory reset. The CWM Zip version is not rooted, but you will want to wipe data after you flash it (perform a factory reset). Neither method will flash the modem as I have no way to dump that, so you will need to already have the ED01 modem if you want to be fully stock.
Odin Version
CWM Zip Version
I'm guessing this gives CWM3?
And which kernel?

This is completely stock ED01 that has been rooted minus the modem. There is no CWM recovery, no custom kernel, it is all stock.
Ah ok. Do I flash this or the modem first?
Thanks.
flashing this will also remove and CWM you have installed.
Is this rooted with the new su package? Thanks
This is great work! I want the ED01 modem for this though, that prob wont be happening anytime soon though im guessing right?

This doesn't include a modem, so you will be on the same baseband you were on beforehand. Until someone digs up a ED01 modem, you need to do the OTA to get the ED01 modem.

Yeah, until someone happens to find a full Odin package for ED01, or can somehow stumble upon just an ED01 modem, this will just be good for flashing the stock rooted ED01 system/kernel.
I thought the EC01 modem would work with this?

Modem and Radio r the same thing
Thanks for this. I have been flashing my phone every other week if not more since day 1 without any problems. Now that I want to sell it all of a sudden I'm stumped and can't get it back to working order before I ship it out. Hopefully this will solve my problems. Thanks again. Thunderbolt, here I come!
thanks for the ODIN! This will help greatly! Is it pretty much stock, or did you change a few things (DEBLOAT) and does it have the STAY AWAKE feature?
Modem = Baseband = Radio
Out of curiosity why would you flash this when you can get the version with the modem?
What's the advantage?
Thank you for your work.
Sent with my thumbs.
It would be useful if you did the OTA to get the modem, then installed a custom ROM and needed to go back to stock. Say your phone starts doing something odd, you can't take it in with a custom ROM on it, so you could use this to get back to stock faster than taking the DL09->EA28->ED01 route.

Exactly, cause how odd would it be for a phone to have a ED01 modem and DL09 system =D lol
so has there been any noticeable differences between ec01 and ed01?
Thanks for this; I already did the long stroll to get the ED01 Radio, and this will save me tons of time if "something goes wrong" or for the next ROM change.
is it possible to use re-partition option with this rom? or atlas PIT file?

[ODIN]ED03 ROM/Kernel/Recovery

Much like I did for ED01, I created a new Odin for the OTA ED03 update. Once again, this doesn't include the modem, just the base system, kernel, and recovery. It will also perform a factory reset, and is currently Odin only, I'll create a CWM flashable package at some point as well. Enjoy. This should be fully stock unrooted as I was only temp-rooted when I created the image.

Umm, if it fails verification in Odin, it doesn't flash. How is allowing Odin to check it harder than checking it manually that you wouldn't just allow Odin to work as it is designed to do?
ok I flashed it! I don't know what's different but it's working perfectly.
Im using the latest otb kernel the latest cwm (in purple) and the ec01 radio.
I even rooted it and uninstalled all the annoying aps. Think I'm going to use this rom for now. Thanks imnuts!!!!
Edit: it just feels good to be "up-to-date" lol
Edit: LOL! such small changes.... Pointless but fun.

I'm very often in places with no connection of any kind whatsoever, its also when I'm between time waiting and had the time for things like odin.
If the file is corrupted, then I would have to abort and wait for the next unknown available free time period to repeat all over again.
I don't see any files on the forums to attain the ED03 modem
Odin has a built in MD5, and created the file to support it. If you don't have a connection or time to flash via Odin, how is having the checksum going to help you? No connection and the checksum is bad, you can't download the file again. No time for Odin, and you probably don't have time to generate and verify a checksum because in the time that it'd take you to verify it, you'd be part way through flashing in Odin.

That's because there isn't a file available.
If you want the radio, you'll need to Odin back to DL09 or DI01 and go through the OTA process

You should use this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044474
Since there will not be any data wipe in that procedure as you already are on DL09 you should be able to update to ED01 without being stuck at the language menu.
Are there actually any benefits
to the ED03 update as opposed to ED01?

What ED01 tar file did you download and where did you find it? I was not aware there was an ED01 tar file that would give you full ROM, kernel, and modem. Best bet would be to ODIN back to DL09 and OTA from there.

Which thread? Because I scanned the threads looking for any mention of an ED01 tar in the thread titles and couldn't see any.
Ooops, my bad. I had forgotten about imnuts' thread with the stock ROM and kernel. Is that the one you downloaded? As long as you are reading ED01 under baseband in menu=>settings=>about phone, you can flash that ED01 file in ODIN and you will be good to go. If you have ED03 under baseband, you may need to ODIN back to DL09 in which case you will end up at ED04.
EDIT - and I just read more of imnuts' OP. The ODIN file is rooted, the zip file is not rooted. If the person with whom you are trading is expecting a completely stock phone, you will have to go with the zip file.

in the PDA section. If you are running a voodoo kernel, make sure you go into CWM first and disable lag fix before you flash back to a stock, nonvoodoo kernel.

DL09 ODIN file contains ROM, kernel, and modem. Then you will OTA up to current stock ROM and kernel, and current modem.
If you haven't already started flashing the DL09 file, make sure you are using this one, it is the Verizon one:

Yellow triangle will appear on phone, far left small rectangle in ODIN will turn yellow, click PDA button, find DL09 tar file, double click on it, hit start button on ODIN. When done, pull usb cord, put battery back in, power up. Skip through setup, go menu=>settings=>about phone=>system update=>check now, OTA's will pop up.

is the DJ05 radio still compatible, if not is the suitable upgrade easily attainable (seeing as i had a hard time searching to find the previous links despite some effort), or, pretty please, will you link it?
Also, read through all the info you linked and im curious to know if CWM 3.xx works for all steps..there seemed to be an upgrade of CWM with each increasing modem level.
Lastly, please confirm: CWM 3.xx via odin, reboot. Boot into CWM and install DL09 to EA28 CWM modem delta. Reboot. Boot into CWM and install EA28 to ED01 CWM modem delta. Reboot and begin to ROM/Theme as once before....?

Ive tried this three times now using stock recovery. I get an error message: failed to verify whole-file signature: signature verification failed: installation aborted. I downloaded from three different sources in my attepmts. Once downloaded I use ASTRO to move them to root on SD card file name update.zip. boot into Android system recovery, apply sdcard:update.zip and error as described earlier. Mind you I am stock, unrooted DL09
You need to use the cwm-recovery-all from jt.
1. Pick a custom kernel if you want & put it on your sd card where you can find it.
2. D/l Jt's cwm-recovery-all on your pc.
3. Odin the cwm-recovery-all & put your battery back in & boot directly into it using the 3 button method.
4. Flash your kernel of choice. This will ensure your recovery stays put.
Note: You may not need to flash a custom kernel because I think the odin file permanently overwrites the stock blue recovery but it never hurts to be sure. If you stay on the stock kernel there's a chance it may overwrite cwm when it boots. This eliminates the need to rename anything in order to flash it. Not claiming to be an expert & its obvious your familiar with the mechanics of the process so it should work out. Hope this helps.
Edit: Sorry, forgot to get to the point. Once you've got cwm working you can upgrade the radio using the aforementioned process without having to rename the files. Probably would be a good idea to update the cwm to a more current one as well eventually. But the recovery-all will get you started.

if all you are trying to do [from what i understand] is upgrade your modem from DL09 to ED01
you are already on DL09
in my second link download the zip for DL09 to ED01 zip file and put it on your SD Card.
Flash the CWM ( do not turn back on)
Hold Down the volume up, volume down, and Power button [ 3 finger salute] untill you see the samsung LOGO then you can let go.
Use the volume keys to get to "install zip from sd card" and install the dl09 to ed01 zip reboot and you are at ed01.
Done
Server not available
I tried the Gingerbread leak but decided to go back after ruining an SD card. I reinstalled ED01 but cannot get the ED04 update. Keeps saying server is unavailable
Is this something they do before a new release, take the server down?

Thanks, but I tried all that. Seems I had a bad dl09 install. As soon as I odined the vzw-dl09.tar from adrynalyne the vzw OTA damned near immediately picked it up and took it right to ED04. Now I'm looking for a decent ROM that won't need too much fussing.
