If on dk28, can odin be used to flash back to d18 if the phone is not rooted?

Odin can be used to flash back to DI18 no matter what you are running.

So in other words......yes.

Cool, thanks.. Now fully flashed to DI18, now just waiting for the OTA or the update.zip, whichever comes first..

now that I'm at home and odin is connecting, but failing, I'm going to try the upgrade tool I guess.

i grew impatient and decided to manual upgrade, but im having issues. here are the problems as of yet.

1) i downloaded the update.zip directly to my sdcard, moved to root folder on sdcard, did the recovery mode (was stock recovery), selected the update.zip and...got an error. said something about status 7 and a problem with the update.zip. after 3 tries i stopped, deleted the file and looked for other methods.

2) tried the samsung froyo update tool, downloaded, installed, but it seems i got an issue with the drivers. im on win-7 64 bit.

3) decided to make sure i got all the drivers good, did the 64-bit no successs, then 32-bit...no successs.

4) plugged phone into laptop via usb, then it says that it is using windows update to find drivers. it now reads that SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device and USB Mass Storage Device are both ready to use. but says installing driver software for CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) and S3C6410 Android ADB, has been sitting on that installing for the past 45 mins...im stuck here.

***i have downloaded the update.zip to my laptop, but im still stuck in the install driver spin and cant move the file over to the sdcard.

so, i got to get to work now and i hope someone can help out from the forum.

im rooted (one-click), no clockwork mod (as far as i know...lol), nothing deleted from sprint stock, im on dI18, kernel version 2.6.29....hope that helps.

i tried once more, was able to do mass storage and put the update.zip on my sdcard. tried doing the update from recovery and got the same error message. here is the exact wording of the message:
