Your best bet is to odin back to stock dl09 and work the otas back up to ed01 (or is it ed03 now?). If you're already on froyo w/ edXX modem you can odin to ed01 stock bloated.
I'm not sure if you're returning your sdcard with it but if so you should backup and then format it.

first time using ODIN need some help

greetings all, my phone setup is in my signature. i am running eugene's latest Franken-TWIZ rom using baseband JI6 and JAC's 1.1 OC/UV kernel . I have set up my phone for use with odin with the proper drivers and plan on flashing back to stock in a month or so before the Froyo OTA.
my question is, can i simply run odin and flash it back to stock using this guide link posted from the bible directory?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
i wanna make sure if this method is safe considering my kernel and baseband have been modified using Eugene's latest rom.
I am no expert but I flashed back to stock rom from ji5 which had a different kernel and all went well.
Yes it's safe. You are essentially erasing all data on your phone and returning it to stock so it doesn't really matter what base band, kernel, or rom you are currently using. However, unless you want extra steps in the restore, if you are using voodoo, disable it before you do anything!

One Click Root for Fascinate?

My cousin is in town and I'm trying to help her unbloat her Fascinate. I've got a Captivate and have used TGA_Gunnman's OneClickRoot to root my phone - Has anyone tried this on the Fascinate.
Supposedly the OCR is for all Samsung Galaxy S models.
Thanks
Depends one what baseband they are on. Ea28 is hard to root I hear. Never herd of your root methid being done on the fascinate. On android central, there is an all in one odin pack that gets pushed in the pda section that uses sc2.6, is prerooted and has the new cwr already on it. Maybe that will help...

This would be best for DI01, DL05, DL09 baseband as said above. Some indicate it works for EA28, while others say it causes problem.
I'm trying to just root the phone for now to do some testing while she's in town - I don't want to leave the phone rooted or load a ROM just yet.
The advantage to OCR (if it works for Fascinate) is that I can root/unroot with a single click - Very easy compared to other methods. No ADB/Terminal commands at all needed.
Just checked, and her phone is an EA28.
If your tryin to root and then unroot, try adryns all in one odin pqck for di01. Then root using z4 if you want. Then reflash the all in one pack for di01 in odin and it will unroot it for ya....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I don't want to flash the phone at all yet; even back to stock. I'm just testing a few things but don't want to change anything permanently on the phone quite yet.

Update to ED04 help

I am rooted and have cwr red. I cannot update from ed01 to ed04. Is this because of cwr? How do I remive cwr?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
There is a modem you can flash in the dev section. Its a diff file that will mod your modem to ed04...either that or u can use heimdall or odin to go back to dl09 stock and ota up

I have done that. Baseband ed04, but build still shows ed04.

Do you mean you want the OTA of ED04? Once you're rooted, if you haven't flashed a custom rom you should be able to check for updates and lose root. Unless the new CWM has also prevented this. In which case there are a few tutorial type threads to get you to ED04 even using Odin. If nothing else, look in the stickies in the development section. The thread with "Look at this!" In the title will revert you to unrooted, bloated, Binged DL09 and you can OTA to ED04 from that.

[Q] Can I flash 2.2 rom from gingerbread

I am running Simply honey gingerbread rom and I want to go back to bionix froyo rom. My question is can I flash directly from recovery or do I have to Odin back to stock first?

Thanks for quick response even though thats not what I wanted to hear. lol
I say just Odin first to be safe. Doesn't take too long anyways
I tried simply honey myself but didn't like it also tried trigger 2.3.5 but neither one made me happy so I went back to bionix nexgen gingerbread has too many issues

[Q] Vibrant Odin 2.2 stock files?

Maybe I'm an idiot and missed it somewhere or maybe it doesn't exist, but I'm looking for the stock Vibrant Odin files for 2.2. I have to ones for 2.1, but I hate having to use Kies to bring it back to 2.2. Any help would be appreciated.
What I use is Eugene's 2.2 Froyo ODIN which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833024&page=49
It will also automatically root.
The link is gone from that thread. Anywhere else I can find it at?

Try Whitehawkx's stock froyo rom (deodexed and Odin versions):

Hopefully, the links still work.
Just out of curiosity, why are you trying to go to stock 2.2?

Thats the best place to flash most roms from isn't it? I am on my 3rd and my wife is on her 2nd and we both have vibrants. Thanks for the link.
