EB13 to EC05 with Rooted CWM, no undoing!

KaliS · #1 (**permalink**) 03-31-2011, 09:00 AM

Hello all, as the title says I have "upgraded" to EC05 from EB13 and I didn't do the wipe data, revert to stock recovery, or anything like that. I was having problems with the update and followed several step by strps, that weren't working. Here is what I did that worked for me. Again, this worked for me and hopefully you as well.

1) download a good copy of the update.zip file.
- I used the one another post had with a megaupload link.
- here is the link I used: http://www.multiupload.com/B5RFCCYV71 (thank darren for reminding me to post it)

2) change the file name to "update.zip"
- I tried just chaging to "update", but that didn't work for me. CWM said the .zip couldn't be found or didn't exist.

3) move the update.zip to the root of the sdcard

4) boot into CWM recovery

5) select "reboot recovery" from the advance options
- for some reason this was what worked for me and enabled CWM to see and use the update.zip after multiple attempts.

6) select "apply update.zip from sdcard" once CWM restarts....viola, hopefully it works for you as well.

Please give a shot and let me know what happens.

well i didnt know i had to update from SD card. i just hited install and restart right from and the phone rebooted and it was stock on the samsumng white leters at boot. my phone wouldnt boot ... so after 10 minutes of me waiting to see if it will boot and still wouldnt boot.... so i got tired of waiting so i removed the battery turn it back on and still woudlnt boot. so i removed the battery again and just booted into the clockworck mode and choosed reboot syetem now... and after i did that it was the only was i was able to boot normal. i dont know if the actual EC05 was installed or not since i have no way of knowing. and i dont know if anyone else had the same problem of the phone not booting after hitting install and restart right from the phone.

i never herd of method posted here but if you want custom EC05 rom then just flash one and either use EB13 modem or odin EC05 modem after you flash custom rom. do you just run stock?

here is a flashable EC05 modem EB13 to EC05 modem flash - xda-developers and here is odexed stock EC05 rom. [ROM][ACS][STOCK] Untouched EC05 Flashable - RFS ONLY - Odexed - 3/22 - xda-developers

ok i guess ill try that. my phone came stock with eclair 2.1 and when i updated my phone to froyo 2.2 i didnt use the 90 MB zip as an update only. i used the full version 200 MB setup then reroot my phone with clockwork 2.5 and that is what i have been using ever since.. so maybe today or in the next couple of days ill install CWM 3 then flash the custom ROM or what ever.. so on clock 3 for me to install the coustom rom i just go to to what option? install from zip or what option to be specific? i dont want to choose the wrong one.. and by the way darren thanks alot for your replys... i will hit thanks on the buttom as well..

The reboot recovery under advanced goes to using the "stock recovery"...that said do you see Asphalt demo in your rom?
