Need help returning to stock 2.1 update 1 plz - Vibrant General

Can someone help me find a clockworkmod flashable version of 2.1 update 1? I searched all over, the one by eugene in the bible has been deleted and I read on the thread that vibrantdump.zip link lead me to that its only odin flashable? I have it, will it flash via clockwork? Sending my phone back and want to semi return it to stock at least. Thx

Sorry I can't help you as I don't have what you're looking for. However, why not just use odin? It's just as easy as clockwork to use.
Just follow this guide to the letter and all will be well, I promise...

Go to this page to download the TRUE stock rom. I think it is in ODIN's format but it should work easity just as clockwork. I don't know if it's the same version as the one you have but give ODIN a chance, it was very simple for me and I'm practically a noob.

What's the zip file? Odin files usually contain a pit and a tar file. clockwork's zip have a bunch of folders and files, I think.

Yea you cannot use CWM to flash an Odin package. Use Odin to get back to 2.1.

KA6 is official now - so no need to go all the way back to 2.1 to return phone. But you'll still need to use Odin to get the completely stock version on.

File is vibrantdump.zip, got it from the bible. I dont want to go all the way back to stock, just dont want them to turn it on and it be running nero v5.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

So, could you flash back to stock with the current 2.2 update from Samsung? Or would flashing back to 2.1 be better?

vibrantdump.zip isn't an actual rom - it's just an archive containing the vibrant file tree. It doesn't have any scripts to install or anything.
Edit: If you're sending it back to Samsung for warranty work, you could always use a stock (not deodex/root/etc) JI6 clockwork mod image. KA6 is official, but not required.

I don't believe its possible to use CWM to flash back to 2.1 from 2.2 in any case because it doesn't backup the kernel. ODIN is the best (perhaps only?) way, but again not necessary since KA6 2.2 is now official.

You can flash a 2.1 rom with kernel such as fusion. Then flash your stock backup and a stock ji6 kernel.

Well I kinda told em that it had 2.1 update 1 lol, my reason for sending back was the gps and according to tmo cust serv the 2.2 release has a fix, I dont pay for a warranty, I guess its just a defective exchange. It also gets super hot above the battery when im really pushing it, that may be why they issued the return because I told them about that too. so if I cant flash the vibrantdump.zip, what would be a rom that simulates 2.1 the best? I cant get to a pc so I cant odin until wednesday and need to get it resembling stock before then. I know I cant lose clockwork recovery but just wanted it to say the right stuff in phone info and have the right startup shutdowns you know? Am I just worrying too much?
Edit: I cant kies mini the new update, no pc, there isnt a clockwork flashable version of it yet is there? could tell them I got it ota while waiting for new phone

It may very well be posted in another thread (stock kernel as Odin3, that is) but it seems like quite a few people that use Odin3 can no longer receive OTA updates. Many of us are getting failures at 50% after using Odin3.

With the number of people getting bricked phones with the OTA why would anyone be crazy enough to do it? We've already had JH7 for weeks over here. When you Odin one click have you removed ClockworkMod or Voodoo folders from your root before attempting OTA? Odin won't touch anything that is on your internal sd. You should move those files to a safe place on either your external sd or your computer. I don't think anyone with fails has tried removing the items from their root before OTA. I did see a post somewhere that someone did and the OTA worked.
That's not true at all. Quite a few people flash Odin and IMMEDIATELY try the update, no modifacations from stock, only to have it fail. Myself included.

Well the OTA update JH7 is much different than the one leaked on samsungfirmwares. Prolly half the files have different md5 checksums, so there's a lot different.

Thats what I did. I did odin3 one click, then immediately downloaded the OTA update and it crashed at 50%.
Hopefully somebody will be able to get the OTA update and then make it into an update.zip that we can just flash via recovery. The OTA JH7 is much different from the leaked JH7 on samsungfirmwares.

new rom

sorry if this has been asked but im new to a lot of this stuff and i wanted to put the vibrant6 rom that just came out on my vibrant and i was wandering that if i dont like it are just want to take it off i can do a restore from rom manager. I would of course use rom manager to backup my rom first. Also if i do this and keep it will i still get the OTA updates. It looks like this rom is keeping the stock kernal and that im sure if i changed that then i would not get the updates. I just a little nervouse about this. Thank you

I downloaded the vibrant6 zip from the 4shared that I was directed to and it took all of a second to download which I know was way to fast. I went to unzip it and it was unsuccessful I don't know why. So even if I wanted to do this I can't.

Obviously to install Vibrant 6 you need to flash stock rom, then flash vibrant6 with odin.
When I decided to go back to stock rom I flashed stock rom with odin then ran nandroid restore of a point I had made right before trying Vibrant6.
I flashed vibrant6 via clockwork and it worked just fine, you just have to have a stock rom with root for it to work properly
But does it need to be unzip first.

No it doesn't, its an update.zip.
OP just download the file and place it on the root of your internal SDcard. Reboot into recovery and flash it from there.
If you uninstall clockworkmod recovery you might get OTA updates but it depends on the rom you are using. With any alternative recovery you may be able to download the OTA, but it will not flash because of the recovery. I dont know why people worry about OTA updates! If its being sent OTA, I guarantee it will be on XDA months before! If you want OTAs, leave your phone stock.

[Q] An update.zip to go from DK28 to DI18?

(sorry if this has been covered in other threads, I searched and couldn't find it)
I found it on androidforums listed as a modified update.zip to bring DK28 phones back to DI18, but I'm not sure what it actually does. It's only 5mb, not ~100mb like the DK28 update.zip
Does anyone have an experience with it?

The only DI18 update.zip file is for going from DI07 -> DI18 (hence why it is only 5mb)

I believe the first link on there, you can attempt to try renaming it update.zip. Im not sure if it works without clockwork tho.. Give it a shot the worst thing that can happen is it will say aborted and wont mess up anything.
I'll give it a shot. Does it completely wipe the phone like Odin, or just change the firmware?

I think it just changes the firmware, i dont think it wipes anything, ive been flashing around roms on 2.1 and flash back to stock a lot and i never lose my data even when i wipe it..

besides the one click root,with clockwork, i dont think so, besides the long adb commands, which i dont know where that post is at but thats a lot of work.... But if you put clockwork on you can take it off with a simple flash of the samsung recovery zip also in the link above.
Thanks for the info.
Why is it so much more complicated to roll back than it is to go forward to a new version?

Well, not really complicated, just a few things you have flash to remove all the rooted stuff, if you use odin its still a lot of steps and more risky of bricking, i constantly see, new threads of people using odin by not following all the instructions and bricking there devices.
That's why I'm really hoping I can avoid having to use Odin to go to DI18 to get the official OTA update next week.

Dude, just look for the stock DI18 rom, rename it to update.zip, boot into recovery and flash it. That's all. I've done this several times before (although i'm now on a solid 2.2 Froyo rom).
It's a full rom, not a 5MB whatever..
It's that easy, and I don't clockwork recovery or anything?
Why does anyone bother with Odin then?
I think I have the DI18 rom, is 158,159,706 bytes the right file size?
You'll still need to odin in the di18 modem. Cwm can't flash a modem

Rocking dj05 and jt's voodoo 5
It is my understanding that if you run the complete odin package it will overwrite even voodoo.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
i have killed my phone 3 times not disabling voodoo correctly when flashing roms. and each and every time adrynalyne's full di01 restore package has overwritten the whole thing for the win.
so if you are going back to bone stock, unrooted, full bloated eclair, (ie because you need to bring the phone back to verizon for warranty work) then that is your best bet. it will indeed wipe any and all voodoo whatnot from your phone.
Isn't it fine just to bring it back to stock DL09 Eclair, since that's the latest official OTA release? I don't see why you need to go back all the way to DI01 if you're planning on returning it. But I guess in the end of the day it won't really matter either way.
It doesn't really matter, all of the all in one vzw fascinate odins will work.
You technically don't _need_ to odin anything but the modem though.
For me, there was no lagfix and I had a working cwr/rom manager, so I did it in three quick steps.
1. Nandroid restore my DL09 setup.
2. Odin DL09 modem over EB01.
3. install a DL09 kernel from clockwork recovery and wipe the cache.
I was exactly where I was before with no headache.
Nandroid doesn't flash modem nor kernel.
However the all in ones may be faster if you are building from scratch (and absolutely the fastest route to stock). You should pick an all in one with the modem and kernel you want or you will have to do steps 2 & 3 either way.

Jaden, Odin back to stock (look in the Noob guide by S14274N) it has everything you need, Once you are in stock , then root the phone (use superoneclick, it is easy), then download Rom manager, then you will go back into download hit update packages and it will be rooted, From there you can flash any rom you want. Your phone is ok, you need just to go into Download and Odin back to stock first.
You probably can just restart your phone, don't think any changes were even made...long press the power button until it restarts.
Hahaha no offense and not trying to troll but guys please ODIN before any flash of rom, kernel, mod,theme, anything. That way you dont flip out when **** goes wrong. I did,so do many other flashers, and so should you pr anybody else. Also, do a backup with recovery before flashing....

Yeah its not really necessary, I think the last time I used ODIN was before flashing the Nero beta. It will keep things fresh and mostly issue free, but if you know what you're doing you really shouldn't have to do it for every flash.
