Ya I toyed with it last night and I got back to Stock fl24 which is where I felt comfortable being. I just didn't want to brick my phone and I appreciate all the info and help from you guys. This method was waaay easier then when I was trying all this on my DroidX awhile back ago. But again thanks to all. I'm sure I'll be back when I screw something else up
If you want to get to FL24, first update your firmware from your android in your system settings from FG31 to FH29, then do the same thing to update from FH29 to FI22, then once again to update from FI22 to FL24.
Personally I would skip updating to FL24, keep FI22 on, root that with 'ExynosAbuse', then throw 'FOTAKill.apk' into your /system/apps/ to disable the notifications to update to FL24. The reason I say this is because FL24 crashes my phone practically every other time I turn my screen off, and then I have to peel off the case and pull the battery out to make it work again. That's really irritating.

Also. Is it a Boost phone or a Sprint flashed to Boost phone? If it is on Sprint firmware then you'll have to mess with the mms settings. But if it is a Boost phone then I'd claim warranty or something.
click on the bold MD5 in post #1 and you can download it. it is Seven zip compressed so get Seven zip and decompress it to have the actual MD5 file to put in Odin.
I downloaded kies to my pc and Odin to my pc and I also have the unzipped md5 file on my pc but I need to be honest I really don't understand your tutorial. Could you please help make it a little easier to understand maybe a step by step. Im no expert with phones by any means and all I am trying to do is get this phone back to stock like the day it was opened and back to fl24 version. I would be highly appreciative for some help. Thank you in advance for your time.
This is what Ive tried/gathered
Kies will update to fl 24 once Im back to stock
odin on pc will flash me back to stock
Heres where im at when i push vol-/power then vol+ it brings me to a screen that says:
ODIN MODE (in red text)
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-D710
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
then theres a picture of the little green droid guy and under him it says
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
I got to this screen and ran odin on my pc with the data cable attached went to the pda tab loaded the md5 file into that tab hit start and I got a failed message the first time second time i got a failed message again. What am I doing wrong??
OK I repeated these steps to a Tee and it worked and my phone is now stock on FG31. The issue now is when I run kies it wants to update to GC01 and has no option to go to FL24. Is there anyway whatsoever I can get to FL24 instead of GC01? I would just prefer that because I was able to easily 1click root the FL24 version with no problems and didnt have to revert from the stock fl24 version at all.
Ok phone did some auto updates up till fl24 im now back where I wanted to be. If you hook it up to kies it wants to update to gc01 but I would rather not do that so again I thank you for your time and post but I toyed with it enough to get it right where i needed it to be sorry for my wall of text.
To those who are actually looking to complete this stock restore, the MD5 link is inaccurate and downloads a 7zip file with a .mkv of some japanese something or other. There is no MD5 restore file in there what so ever no matter what extraction tool you use.
The only hope is the post from the user linking to Rwilco12's repo. You've been warned.
The link in the OP has been good for ages, I'm not sure what the deal is now. It's not the first time I've seen people complain about downloads from devhost recently either. They used to be great, I'm not sure what happened to them.
