Thanks for the video it worked out great for me after the 5th time. My issue was I had put a shortcut for the original rom on the desktop. Once I redirected it go directly to source it worked perfectly. Thanks time to take in for warranty.
Thank you my friend, you have helped me escape a great dilemma....My epic wouldnt boot and i flashed some rom after ICS and then it just screwed up on me. You are a life saver!
why cant I install the drivers it kepts saying "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are runing Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance." ..... PLEASE HELP
and I want to do things the way YOU do things! Thanks for the video. I knew how to do this when the phone first came out and then didn't flash for a long time until I got tired of waiting for Froyo stock update. Now I'm back at it and I have you to thank! I love you man!
I really wish someone would make a video that doesn't speak "geek". These knuckle heads all think that every one lives their lives learning geek speak... Ugh
hey randy when i try to run odin it seems to stop at this point and in the top square box it displays PARAM. my phone screen goes black any clue as to why?
i fucking love you thank you so much lol i was stuck in recovery couldnt boot to phone took it to sprint and they tried for hours told me it was fucked and you you are a god among men for this video thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
hey Randy if i have the viperrom can i go back to stock as i got the phone because my navigation is not working i dont think i did it right so i want to try to do it again thanks
@Stevengilly , awwww man dude I figured out why it wouldnt work. I was getting the same error as you were, then i realized, I never updated stock 2.1 to stock 2.2 which means i cant restore back to stock 2.2 , you see i only rooted my 2.1 then put a custom rom on it which had 2.2 in that rom, so now that i want to go to stock 2.2 i cant restore back, look just go back to stock 2.1 , then root , the update to 2.2 . thats what i did. jeaaaa
Randy I need your advise. I installed 2.2 froyo on my epic and now my gps can't locate satilites. Is there a fix for this or should I install another rom like viper? And will it fix the problem? I am new t6o this stuff and installed froyo and rooted my phone but need your expertise. Will you help. I have an e-mail rcibello@yahoo.com. Thanks.

@randyshear I am thinking about making that switch too but question. It keeps saying md5 file is invalid. I even tried changing the zip at the end. Any advice if I downloaded the sphd700 correctly. Samsung Epic 4G
@randyshear i was following your instructions to the letter but when i tried to odin my phone back to stock everything was going like it was in your video until it was time to restart. My phone looked like it was restarting but never turned back on and it even got a pass in odin but now it wont turn on or even be recognized through usb. any thoughts or suggestions ?
Thanks randy, you make great tutorials on this stuff! Although many of the ROM's are cool, I prefer to use the stock 2.2 due to its reliability, what ROM would you recommend?
thanks for the video. odin was acting up on me and turned my screen grey than green then black but i just kept taking out the battery and kept doing the 1 + Power. im back to stock and going to install the oneclickroot CWM3
@randyshear no prob randy if it wasnt for u i would never had known that u could do this stuff to your phone so i think the one little thing i help with wont amount to all the help ive got from u thx man you help me alot
I've been trying the .md5 file from the direct download and it keeps saying the MD5 hash value is invalid. I've tried redownloading it and it still says the same thing. Is there a problem with the file?
@randyshear The new file wouldn't work either, but I got it to work with the original file by renaming it from .tar.md5 to just .tar. You might want to put the original link back with a note to rename the file. Thanks.
@randyshear thanks for the link randy, i'm having a new problem though. when i try to use the stock dk28 with odin it says that it's invalid. i've reset my pc, reset my phone, and tried it about a dozen times and it still says it's invalid. any suggestions?
I can gt to the downlaod screen just fine, windows sees the com port abled, but go to flash and fail. Numerous times.
What i have to do is this....
1. Pull the battery.
2. Plug in USB.
3. Immediately hold down 1 + Power.
4. Odin and Flash with no errors.
I am thinking this could have something to do with the battery seeing that it is the x-factor here. Maybe its defective and spitting out too much voltage.
those birds are freaking me out lmfao very nice video im debating if i should buy this phone this weekend or not its so hard not to want it but then it sucks that theres no 2.2 yet that we have no choice but to do this for now
