do we have STOCK 2.3? or ...
I'm running ACS 1.1 with twilight zone v1.1RC2 kernel.
Looking to upgrade to something BETTER/STRONGER/FASTER - with better 4G response (I've seen the hacks, someone built them into a rom maybe?) and good solid GPS.
Thoughts?
We don't have officia l Gingerbread yet, just leaks. They have issues, like random reboots. I suggest
1.) SyndicateROM Frozen 1.2(flash kernel right after rom, I suggest the ReVolt kernel) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131544
2.)ReVolted ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209549
3.)Urban Regeneration

Revolted Kernel Flashable Zip, in case you choose it:

thanks for the links -
I think I converted to EXT4 when I did ACS 1.1... any caviats? Is ACS 1.2 "gingerbread"? or does an official Epic release of Gingerbread not exist yet?
As I stated in my previous post, we do not have an offical gingerbread release. Only leaks. All of the roms I posted are EC05(Froyo) based and are all very stable. I'm pretty sure they are all ext4 compatible, but check the individual threads to be sure.

Ok -
just to make sure I don't muck up...
my phone says baseband s:d700.0.55.ec05
Build number =twilight zone v1.1.1rc2 hajime-taisho
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
That's ACS 1.1.1, right? SO I can just take the ACS 1.2 file and install from CWM?
thanks in advance!
I think so, but download a kernel anyways in case something happens.
You might be able to just flash 1.2 over 1.1.1 and keep going with your current kernel.
But, if that doesn't work, you'll have to wipe data/cache/dalvik 3x, flash 1.2 zip, flash kernel zip, then boot.
Roll Tide
If you're going straight from SRF 1.1.1 to 1.2, then you will be fine and retain your previous kernel.
You can flash directly over your current install. Of course, I'd suggest making a backup in CWM before flashing. I'm actually pretty sure the flashing process backs up for you, but another backup never hurts anyone.
If you update Superuser.apk via the Market, then you will start getting a notice that your binaries our outdated. You will then find that you cannot update them because it cannot touch the /sbin directory. You can either use a different kernel or find Zanderman112's post in the SRF 1.2 thread a few pages back about a retweet from k0nane.

I don't like that they reference using the ei22/ec05 tarball. You're better to odin back to DG27 or EC05 and then either accept the ota or use the update.zip method. You'll get the cleanest EI22 install that way.

Thanks for that comment. But does that maintain ROOT? and will I be able to restore my Titanium backup in that method?

To gain root you will have to use the method from the thread rooting ei22 in general but I also believe in clean flashing so I approve of accepting the ota atm cuz we don't have the tar file yet kinda annoying

How long does it take the devs to root the OTA and slap it into an odin with CWM injected?
Since the OTA starts tomorrow, are we looking at 1 more day? or a week?

Probably 20 minutes after someone gets the file to a DEV. It doesn't take long to repackage with CWM and root.

That depends on the DEVs free time. Custom ROM's with all enhancements generally won't be see until full source drops with a tar. This has been generally been done the night of the OTA but so far nothing on Samsung's site except the kernel. You will see themed ROMs with kernel enhancements real soon though. Usually before your get the OTA notification if you are in the last 50% in the queue.
I don't see why you wont be able to just odin acs recovery and then flash su.zip

My thoughts exactly.
Afterwards go into your system\app directory (using root explorer) and make some room (delete the Asphalt Demo) and then install BusyBox (busybox installer on the market).
note: my busybox wouldn't go in until after I restarted my phone.
I don't want to fuss with deleting one thing to run another. Seems like the best option is an Odin package but looks like that will be a while. Everyone is focusing on zip packages and multi step processes.

^this. I'm waiting on a one shot package that will wipe my phone and I can start from fresh.
Right now there are a lot of things I want/need so that's why I'm holding off on updating to GB, if I ever do.
I see fixes for some issues:
Logsprovider
Hotspot hack
No CIQ
Root
Busybox
Super user
But nothing really in one odin .tar file yet.
If you choose to do the OTA, you must Odin a custom kernel before Odin of clockwork or else clockwork won't stick and you will be shot back into stock recovery. I used mkasik's EI22 keyfix kernel but nubernal should work as well.
Not really what you are looking for, but if you get tired of waiting and try to go stock OTA or just flash the google download you will run into that issue which stumped me for a bit.
I'm gonna wait... im just surprised that more people aren't asking about this.

Odin or Flash this to get Deodexed stock EK02 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.20. This also comes with Chris's Stock CWM EK02 kernel. This does not include the modem. To flash the modem follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367695.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.

Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-CWM-EK02.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

This can be used to root as well right?

Yes but it won't just root. It will give you everything else. So if you don't want deodexed system don't flash this. If you want Deodexed system this is for you.
Thanks crawrj but In the op it says this is eg30. Might want to change to ek02. Thanks again.

Is this a rom that includes the 2.3.6 update? wondering if I could flash this and try the one of Overstew's universal themes over it. Or do I have that wrong? thx

This is 2.3.6
Sent from the future.
im currently on 2.3.4, eg30 modem, and blazer rom. all the new threads are kind of confusing me. So i should odin this stock ek02 and flash the modem. then flash whatever rom i would like to use after, correct?
Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question, you say Odin or Flash. If Flashing, is it as easy as just going into recovery and flashing as a zip like a ROM, or is there more to it?
What are the odds that overstew's ICS theme will work on this?
I just flashed the zip in CWM, flashed fine.
formatted system
wiped data
wiped cache
wiped dalvik
flashed zip
Calks Format all zip would work just fine as well

I'm about to try his Ciano universal, will report back. if that works the ICS should as well
Edit: unfortunately The Ciano Universal Theme does not work over this. Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed theme. looked like it went through fine. rebooted from CWM but didn't get past first boot screen - pulled battery. Powered on, same thing. Went back to CWM to re-wipe and reflash(twice over itself) to try again, but same problem upon boot. oh well. There'll be plenty of options soon.

Yes except the rom part. I don't think there are any roms yet for EK02 but haven't checked lately so I might be wrong.

Yes you just flash the zip in CWM. Then flash the modem with CWM if you are on the EG30 modem.

You should never flash themes, mods, roms etc that are built on different OS versions. It might appear to work but there are changes in the versions so you are basically trying to mix pieces of 2.3.4 with 2.3.6 which is a bad idea.
Thanks, understood. Had some backups at hand so I thought I'd give it a go. Thx for the rom!

Remember before we flashed the kernel fix that had a script that would remove root everytime we rebooted? Why couldn't we get a copy of that old kernel and just remove root and CWM recovery and then update (Rather than having to Odin back to EC05, then update to EI22 then update to EL30)? Is this a dumb question?

No, it is not a dumb question. But since we never got an Odin tar of EI22, not as easy. I am sure one of the DEVs have the pulled kernel, but since you would be using Odin extensively anyway to change kernels, then again to reroot I don't think it would save you much time. I would wait for a custom ROM with all the fixings and flash the new modem in the meantime. I have the flashable here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457981
What is the advantage of just flashing the EL30 modem?
Let's say I go back to EC05 and update.zip to EI22 and plan to update.zip to EL30. Do I need to flash the GB Kernel.tar in Odin for the keyboard fix and the GPS Fix.zip after the EL30 update?
I'm assuming I would put CWM3.1.1 recovery (is there a newer one?) and su.zip on for rooting after the EL30 has been updated.
Have I said anything wrong? Do we still need the kernel and GPS fixes for EL30?
People on custom ROMs would prefer to just flash the modem to try it out. Most if not more fixes are already in our custom ROMs so there is no need to get the stock fixes and tolerate stock.

Keyboard fix is in stock already. You would need the gps fix. And yes there is an official CWM 5.0.2.7. ROM Manager even supports the Epic with it now. The rest sounds right.

Kenny, thanks for the prompt replies. One last question though, the keyboard fix was the kernel that also removed the script that prevented your custom recovery from sticking. I assume we would now have to manually delete that script?

This is basically a maintenance update so yes you would have to do everything you did in EI22. Since we don't have an EL30 kernel yet you would need to do that.

I recompiled the 14 toggle mod to be compatible with the UCLE1 leak and still work with USB.
I have only tested with mr x. UVLE1 stock rom base (The Tmobile ICS Stock).
14toggle.zip - applies the 14 toggle
revertBar.zip - takes you back to stock (Use this if to get back to stock if you have any problems) (LE1)
rom needs to be deodexed
For stock odexed roms like the odin tar you need to
use root explorer to
rename the systemui.odex to systemui.odex.bak after flashing
and reboot
if you run into problems just use the revert and rename it back to original name
Thnxx bro ! Wondering is this themed or no?
no exactly the same look as the old one. All I did is fix the usb mounting issue.

You beat me to it. I tried it today and it worked for me. I will repack a more current revertBar.zip but I think that one should work too.
I couldnt deal with not having a toggle mod but Ive been real busy so I wasnt sure if I would bother to try to fix it if it didnt work but it did so everything is fine.
EDIT: I flashed it on top of mr. x's base but I think it should be nearly identical to the odin flash so it should work for both.
Awesome. I will try it out. I really miss my toggles .Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean .... I was running juggs 5.0 then I odin back to stock recovery uvlde so I could get ICS via kies. Then I re rooted using odin with the package on galaxys2root.com
Edit: I updated to 5.0.2.7 and tried another one 5.8.1.3 ( I think) from Rom manager.
Same result every time.
I see. I forgot your rom needs to be deodexed.
