I have EC05 right now. Yesterday I flashed to ACS MIUI and it seems to work fine. Today I try to upgrade to EI22 with CWM 5.0.2.7 using modem.EC05toEI22.zip, but I get an error every time:
Updating modem to EI22...
script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/firmware/modem.EC05toEI22.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried re-downloading the file multiple times from different sources and I keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong?
Just had someone had a similiar issue with a modem.... can you odin back to stock ec05 and it completely flash everything?
It could be a hardware problem if your unable to flash back to stock ec05 and it gets stuck at modem.bin
Otherwise I'm sure someone else knows why its not flashing right... oh and have you tried flashing an alternative recovery possibly acs recovery5 its better. One more thing are you flashing from rom managers boot to recovery or your 3 finger salute?

I odined back to stock EC05 then ota'd to EI22. Except now after I rooted and installed clockwork mod I can't boot into clockwork mod, I can only get into android system recovery, which I can't install a custom rom from. I have tried installing ACS CWM and the latest official CWM via odin and I still can't boot into anything but regular android system recovery using the three finger boot.
What is wrong now?

Samsung put a code into the kernel that reboots the original recovery mode every reboot. Download a custom kernel (which will overwrite this setting.) I recommend nebernal for this as it will work on rfs and I don't know if the others will... there is a qbking vid to properly root on ei22 if this is confusing you... Odin the cwm .tar and DON'T have auto reboot checked. After flashing cwm pull battery and reboot into recovery via the 3 finger method... now flash that kernel I told you to download and boom you now have a cwm tha sticks after reboot!!! Now you can flash whatever rom you would like... btw for future reference I'm pretty sure you have to mount/system in cwm when flashing anything from the new miui and cm roms because of the new mtd partition...

Thanks! I will give it a shot tonight. Can you please explain for a noob what you meant by "btw for future reference I'm pretty sure you have to mount/system in cwm when flashing anything from the new miui and cm roms because of the new mtd partition..." ?

Not sure if this entirely right but with the new partition or reserved memory space the system needs to mounted in order for anything affecting or changing the system to work properly. However to do so its in mounts and storage you'd need to go to mount /system in cwm and then try flashing the ec05toei22.zip then it should work.

I started out with (I believe) this rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763 and all was good for months.
When the ICS rom leaked, I figured I'd try it, so I performed a backup in recovery mode and then flashed.
Now, Calkulin has an ICS rom and I wanted to play with that, however the leaked rom didn't have clockwork installed.
I grabbed Rom Manager, flashed CMR, and rebooted into recovery.
I had all the zips on my sdcard and went to flash the Calkulin wiper and the little droid started glowing and then fell over with a !. The log said that the signature couldn't be verified. I tried all 4 of his zips and none of them would flash.
So, I figured I'd just restore my old ROM backup... except that there is no backup/restore in recovery now. There is a restore section in the app, but it doesn't see any of my old backups.
My question is, is there a different recovery manager? Why can't I flash or restore?
you need to flash a custom ics kernel, like rouge, most ics roms should have this baked in already, however if not, you can flash it through odin via download mode, just put the rouge ics tar file in pda slot
Ok, so the leaked rom came with a stock kernel and that's bad...
Now I need to find the Odin flasher and rouge image.
Thanks
Mobile odin el26 with cwm. Rogue repacks are not safe to flash ROMs with. They can flash, but risk a brick. Use el26 and hold power+volume up to reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom and gapps. Reboot and you will be good to go.
El26 with cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

I just grabbed an ICS kernel off the wiki and it worked just fine.
No CWM with ICS roms.
afaik, none of the ICS roms have CWM bundled yet because CWM is unstable. Did you get CWM straight from ROM Manager, and it worked?
Actually, there is no bundled CWM because we don't have kernel source. EL26 was the last kernel with official CWM. DO NOT USE ROM Manager unless you want a brick.

I'm new to rooting and installing custom ROMs on my Android (I came from an iPhone and never jailbroke it), but I do have my E4GT rooted now. I just have a question about a specific ROM (Codename ICS 4.0.4): I'm on stock EL29 (rooted), not EL26. When the install instructions below say Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel, will that flash EL26, CWM, and the kernel?
"Install instructions
-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
-When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
-Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
-Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps
-Reboot"

There is a EL26 + CWM repack which will do it all for you. I believe this is the one they're meaning.
When the instructions say that, they are referring to the kernel only.
Flashing the EL26 kernel with CWM is regarded as the most stable repack of clockwork mod recovery to flash ICS roms.
qbking77 did a how-to install vid for that rom specifically:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZqn-23xEA&feature=plcp
Be sure to watch that vid, sounds like QBking77 says you NEED cyanogenmod 7.2 in order to get CodeName installed

Ah, I see.
But that is for an older version of Codename I believe, and a quite a bit older version at that. Would it be the same for the updated version of 4.0.4? It doesn't really mention anything in the thread about having to previously be on another ROM before flashing this one other than the EL26 Kernel + CWM.

In that case, is that all I need to do in regards to flashing this ROM, or do I need to be on a different rom such as CM9/CM7 before flashing this one?
Nevermind, I'll probably just install the Blazer ROM since there is an updated video tutorial for that one, thanks though guys. I've thanked both of your posts for the help.
So, I have flashed CWM Recovery and CWM Touch Recovery onto my Epic 4G Touch. Rom Manager says both are installed. However, when I boot into recovery, I get the stock recovery. I've searched and searched and all I have found are people who aren't pushing the right buttons and others with junk answers that are no help at all, like instructions on how to flash the recovery.
Even if I reflash using Rom Manager or any other recovery installer, it boots to the stock recovery. It's as if any changes to the file system are being completely ignored.
The weird thing is, if I flash StockCWM-EL26 or rogue_ET-recovery-1.2.2-FB27-rc0 using Odin/Mobile Odin and get to whichever one I flashed once, then either the phone won't boot at all or subsequent reboots result in the stock recovery once again.
To reiterate, I have *no* problem booting the phone and I have *no* problem getting to recovery... it's the wrong recovery, but still.
Oh, and I'm using HyDrA ROM.

That forum is for the Epic 4G. My phone is not the Epic 4G, it is the Epic 4G Touch.
Try here then (doesn't belong here regardless).

As I said, it either works once and never again or never at all no matter what I use to flash it.
Venum's Hydra rom? Wow, talk about a flash back..
Anyway, have you tried the el26 kernel one click?
No, but I don't imagine it would be any different than the Odin flash.
At any rate, I have an addendum. Flashing Rogue 1.2.2, the one that works - I can't get 1.5.0 to work at all (no boot, no recovery, only download mode), doesn't magically disappear, but it doesn't mount my external SD card and I can't open System Settings/Storage - I just can't win.
Would you mind listing the steps of flashing and items being flashed?
Only reason a custom won't stick is that you're flashing something behind it. In my mind at least..
First Time
<Download Mode>
Flash EL26 CWM Recovery - Phone no longer boots to OS. Can only get to CWM Recovery or Download Mode.
<Recovery Mode>
Wipe.
Flash HyDrA twice as per instructions.
Flash GApps.
Flash Multi-DPI Play Market while I'm at it.
Reboot.
Setup ROM.
Attempt to get to Recovery - got stock recovery.
Decided to try again without wiping. Same results.
Decided to try something:
<Download Mode>
Flash EL26 CWM Recovery - Phone no longer boots to OS. Can only get to CWM Recovery or Download Mode.
<Recovery Mode>
Made a NAND backup of /system and /data.
Flash HyDrA twice as per instructions.
Flash CWM Touch Recovery - Recovery takes effect immediately.
Restore the NAND backups.
Reboot.
Attempt to get to Recovery - got stock recovery.
Another thing:
<Download Mode>
Flash Rogue recovery.
Reboot.
Attempt to get to Recovery - got Rogue recovery - So far so good.
Flash CWM Touch Recovery - Recovery takes effect immediately.
Reboot.
Attempt to get to Recovery - got Rogue recovery - Interesting, but I can only access the external SD card from Recovery.
Flashed back to EL26.
Reinstalled HyDrA.
Restored the NAND backups.
(The Touch Recovery version is 5.8.1.5).
ROM Manager
Attempt to flash either CWM Recovery or CWM Touch Recovery.
Reboot.
Attempt to get to Recovery - got stock recovery.
Here is a list of my apps if you want that, too.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k67l6mb294ruyug/apps-list.txt
I'm hesitant on trying anything else because it's a pain to restore it if I can't boot to the OS.
Just went back to Venums thread.
:edit: Briefly reading the thread, you'll need to have and AOSP kernel to run the Rom, so no, EL26 will not work.
:2d edit: This is out of the second post in that thread. - *If you are restoring a nandroid that you backed up via the above process, you will need to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash an AOSP ICS kernel or the ROM wont boot because it is backed up with the EL26 kernel. Then reboot.
Hydra comes with FD26 kernel. As per the OP.
I don't know, and haven't tested, if Hydra will run with EL26 cwm. But you need to add that to the last step.
But that's why you're going back to stock. It's part of the package.
Please, please, please; STOP using Rom Manager to flash a recovery.
I see a AOSP/TWRP repack by Times Infinity in the Kernel Repo that you could try, But I have not read the Hydra thread to see if Venum had tested this prior to discontinuing support.

The easiest thing to do is find the EL29 auto boot recovery... goes straight into recovery after you flash it thru Odin.. check RWilco's repository

From what I'm gathering from his OP, he wants to have a custom after flashing Hydra.. Gonna have to be an AOSP repack to run with a custom. I didn't really gather that until he listed the flashing steps he's doing.

I take it back, I did try it, but it wouldn't install. FF18 Rev2, for the record.

Right. And I would have no problem just reflashing EL26 /w CWM if it would actually boot into the OS.

Yeah, anything that's not an AOSP kernel/recovery isn't gonna work. So, if Time's aosp repack doesn't work, you'll have to run the included kernel.

Odin wouldn't install it, if that makes a difference. It's not that the install failed and I had to start over, again.
Well, since my touch isn't my daily use phone at the moment, I'll test that setup tonight.
I decided to try the One-Click of the FF18 v2 kernel and it flashed successfully.
However, as with Rogue, I only have no external SD card and no access to Settings/Storage. TWRP is pretty, but if I can't use my SD card, I'd rather use the stock kernel.

My apologies on not getting back with you on this last night.
But the SD issue is also seen on the repacks with JB. Depending on when and how FF18 v2 was built (without source at the time?) could be similar to the issues with current repacks.
I'd have to refer those issues/questions to Agat or Garwynn..
-- So I want to flash either the Liquid Smooth Rom or the CM11 Rom but each of them say I need to flash an ICS Modem. How do I do that? (download link)
-- I just recently rooted and used this video to flash a recovery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W-1FPfgclM), but its Agat recovery. Would I be able to flash either of these roms using agat or do I have to flash CWM or TWRP. If so, how do I get CWM or TWRP?
-- And also, which rom is better? My phone isnt much of a phone anymore since I dont have sprint, so I cant call unless I have wifi, so not being able to have 3g or 4g isnt a problem. If I flash Liquid Smooth would I be able to use CM11 themes?
-- And on the Liquid Smooth page,(http://forum.xda-developers.com/epic-4g-touch/orig-development/rom-liquidsmooth-v3-1-t2803683) the download links for the rom and the gaaps don't work. Does anyone have another download link for those?
Thanks

The first thing is welcome to a new world. You don't need to be on and ICS modem unless you need to use data. Since you don't, we can skip that part.
You need to have a safe recovery and AGATs is one. Since you have that recovery installed already, just download Philz Touch recovery for this phone. Boot into recovery, flash the Philz Touch, reboot into recovery. Hopefully you have the ROM file on the internal SD. Once in Philz Touch, You will need to wipe data, cache and dalvik. When you wipe data, it will ask you if you are installing a ROM. Select yes. To wipe dalvik, navigate to advance. Once those 3 are wiped, select install zip, then navigate to where you have the ROM. Flash the ROM then flash the Gapps. Reboot and enjoy. You can only get to your Liquid Smooth ROM by reading through the last few post. The link is down and they are in the process of getting it back up. The Dev has been nice enough to upload them in the post. He hasn't updated the OP yet. Once you have installed any 4.4 ROM you will have a custom recovery that will allow you to flash any 4.4 ROM. Just make sure you READ through some of the pages first or your gonna be sorry. I am not trying to be mean but I know that the Liquid Smooth forum is only a couple of pages long. Because your phone will not use data, it should do good with battery. Liquid Smooth, Vanir/Commotio have better tweaks imo.

Thanks so much.
Can you send me a link for the Philz Touch recovery because i looked for it on this forum and couldnt find it. And if it is a zip file could I just flash it like anything else in the recovery?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
Go to the first page and scroll down to d710. Flash the zip file in recovery. Don't try it any other way. Don't use Philz for restore or backup. The ROM has a custom recovery for that.
