EK02 OTA Update failing..

Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance

it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.

just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?

[Q] Question about EG30, 31 EK02 and EL13

I am currently running Calk's rom 2.5 that was "based off EL13 build." My kernel version in about phone says: "2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL13-CL806482. and build is "Calkulin's E4GT Rom v2.5."
But my Baseband version says S:d710.10 S.EG30. Am I able to upgrade my baseband version to EL13 or does Calk's rom already do that for me?
Thanks in advance for any help

You can flash the EL13 modem in CWM using the appropriate CWM MDM link in my signature.

I am in a similar situation. I currently have:
Android 2.3.4
Baseband: S710.10 S.EG30
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734
ROM: midNIGHT ROM v2.2 NOCIQ ET4G
I want to install this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837
How would I go about doing this? I know how to use ODIN to flash stuff, also know how to use Clockwork to flash from phone, but I'm a newbie in this area and I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Just use CWM and flash the ROM. It'll install the ROM and the kernel. You can flash your radio at a later point from CWM also.

On the thread of the ROM I want, it says:
"Important Notes - Due to how this ROM is setup, a wipe is recommended BEFORE flashing if coming from another ROM(use FORMAT ALL attached)"
Does this mean that before installing the ROM I need to format the whole phone (minus the SD card)?
Thank you for your help!

The Modem, Kernel, and ROM are separate entities. This thread started off talking about modems, but now you are switching to talking about a ROM. Just wanted to clarify that in case things are getting mixed up.
If the ROM says you need to FORMAT all, that usually means if you are coming from a different ROM, you should do that. If you are upgrading from one version of that ROM to another, usually you won't need to format all, but sometimes you might. Ask your question on the ROM-specific discussion thread.

Thank you for your help. I tried to post on the ROM post but I couldn't due to being a passive user and the Development forums requiring a certain number of posts.
I backed up EVERYTHING with MyBackup Pro just now and I will format ALL, format cache, dalvik-cache, anything that says "erase" on CWM I will do ... and I'll report back with how it all went.
Thank you again for your helpful post.

Hey guys. New guy here to rooting. Thanks to sfhub my first attempt was a success.
This is my current set up.

I also want to run Caulks' rom but I am not sure if I can on the ek02 modem. Would I have to flash to el13 to be able to use this rom?
Sorry if the terminologies are wrong still trying to get used to and understand all of this.

Even though theoretically it is best to keep the Modem, Kernel, and ROM matched since they were tested together, in practice folks haven't had issues with mix and matching. Now with CWM flashable FULL modems for EG30/EG31/EK02/EL13, it is very easy to switch after the ROM flash. Just make sure your kernel is based off the newer EK02/EL13 to flash the FULL modems.

What do you want to revert? Modem, Kernel, ROM, or all three?
If all three, the easiest is to use the EG30 ODIN tar in my signature then apply the EK02 update immediately afterwards.

[Q] Help learning E4GT Terminology vs HTC EVO 4G

Hey all,
First off thank you for any insight you guys can/will provide. Trying to understand the inter working of my new E4GT, I've had an Evo 4G since launch day. On the EVO the ROMS and Radios could be and usually flashed separately and usually never flashed the radio unless it was borked. In going thru the forums and reading Rooting process and adding CWM to your phine you need to use the same modem name???? I know my ROM is EL29 based? thats what is shown in the Broadband, Kernel and build number. I've seen rooting and mod for like EL13 and EK03 and EGXX..... please help me or point me to a post to understand what EL29 is vs EK03.... is that the ROM version you are using?? and if so why isn't everyone on the lastest version... IN HTC EVO land it 4.67.xxx.
Thanks again for any help

Questions belong in questions but enough of that.
Our phones firmware numbers are date based on the build date, Korea time of course. EG30, EK02 and EL29 where the official gingerbread builds. 2011 July 30th for EG30. 2011 December 29th for EL29. Current leak is FE10 which is 2012 May 10th. Slight misconception among some people that the first letter is the OS version but anyone with an Epic 4G can tell you that is not true.

Ok based on your comment of the 3 Official versions, is the reason ppl don't migrate to the latest official version based on the fact there is slightly different hardware versions that would cuz OS incompatibilities ?

They probably have their reasons but most people are on EL29. I know some people are on custom roms based on say the EL13 leak etc. Some of the things you might be reading for rooting EK02 and back are because there was an exploit for those but not for EL13 to EL29.
The modems are based off the same number scheme and except for EG31 all match the release they came with. Someone might run EL29 rom with an EG30 modem because they feel they get better performance so don't be confused by that mismatch. Edit - I guess that answers your other question btw, you can use any modem with any firmware.
EL13 and up have Carrier IQ removed officially so I would think that a decent reason to upgrade. But the only difference in OS version in the official builds was 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 so I dont think there is much to worry about there. Current leaks are for 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Awesome, that really help my understanding of the E4GT environment. So EL29 is the most current stock ota rom. Custom roms are based on various levels of stock roms and leaked roms. Modems/radio levels are like that in EVO land were ppl have various fw levels based on the mileage they get based on device/location.

Yup. I guess I will cover a few things I can think of for you.
EG30 and EK02 were rootable using the zergrush exploit which is patched after 2.3.3. If you were on either one of those you can use sfhub's AutoRooter - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728. On EL29 we rely on ODIN, the easiest way is to just use a prerooted ODIN One Click - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
To return to stock unrooted if you have done no modifications the Auto Rooter will allow for unroot on any version it supports which includes EL29. You can flash a stock unrooted tar for EL29. Or what I usually do is the One click for EK02 and just OTA to EL29 which will leave you on a stock unrooted EL29.
If you are rooted and need CWM the auto rooter is a good place to get it. I think for EL29 it gives Rogue Recovery which was the last one we have and then there is a kernel for EL26 done by chris41g which has stock CWM and is popular for flashing ICS and AOSP ICS roms. Recovery on ICS is dangerous at the moment so people flash back to gingerbread or gingerbread kernels for that.

I was able to figure out how to use the One Click root for the EL29 and then found the utility to add the CWM Rogue Custom recovery... but stopped there. I used Caulkin's Evo GB rom on my EVO and liked it a lot, was thinking I may try his ICS rom, but holding off for now.
Its very different flashing the custom recovery on the E4GT vs EVO.

You might give his EL29 rom a whirl I used to use it. I wouldn't play with the ICS rom until you have played with the stock ICS rom its based off. That way you understand whats causing what and the changes that have been made.

This thread might help you. It has a link for pretty much everything you need to know about the epic touch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391732

Added bit of info, recoveries are packed in the kernel so it is NOT persistent like the evo was. The recovery will change to whatever was repacked into the kernel you are using or revert to stock recovery if it hasn't been repacked with a custom. AOSP ICS roms have no custom recovery included and should not have one added unless you want to brick your phone, for everything recovery on any ICS, IMO, you should always Odin or mobile Odin el26+cwm kernel/recovery and use that. To create a backup Odin/mOdin the el26+cwm kernel create your backup and flash an appropriate kernel to boot back into your rom when restoring do the same, odin/mOdin el26+cwm restore your nandroid and flash an appropriate kernel. Any time you do anything in recovery on ICS like flashing a theme, modem, add on, etc you will have to flash a kernel afterwards to boot your rom, with the exception of flashing a rom itself as it will include the kernel, so unless you want to use a different kernel than what comes included you won't have to flash a kernel after flashing the rom itself

could I just use the One Click root method for the EL26 that I used to first get root? I used the non data wiping version, could I use that, or would I have to use the data wiping version?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

All u need to use is the kernel, you don't need the entire rom so use just regular Odin v1.85 and put the el26+CWM in the PDA slot and flash then when your phone reboots hold volume+ and power or pull the battery and hold volume+ and power when you turn the phone on, EL26 won't boot an ICS rom so it will just boot loop at the sgs screen. Or you can use Mobile Odin and flash the kernel from your phone, reboot to recovery is same volume+ and power when it reboots or pull battery and volume+ and power. Personally I use mobile Odin since it doesn't trigger the yellow triangle, however I have a copy of the kernel and Odin 1.85 on my PC in case I bootloop when I'm on ICS with no recovery. Triangle away takes care of the yellow triangle and flash counter from an ICS rom for when I use PC based Odin. You can use either the free version of mobile Odin that's here on xda or the paid version on the market, $5 is definitely a fair price for how versitile and convienent the app is. If you use the free version from xda make sure you grab a copy of the sph-d710 flash kernel from the thread where you get mobile Odin cuz it won't automatically download it like the paid version does. You can use the one click method as long as its the one with CWM and not a rogue repack but it's quicker easier and safer to use just the kernel+recovery tar file so you know you always have the right recovery. I just have a copy on my internal and external SD cards and a copy on each of my Computers just in case I have some kind of data corruption I always have a copy in an emergency

Kernels

I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S2. Rooted it withe hercules tar kernel on Android 2.3. When I upgraded to JB the kernel no longer worked (couldn't root). I tried flashing Cyangoen 10.0 and 9.0 but neither wokred (Waited 20 minutes and nothing). Is there a kernel I need to flash with ODIN?
Also, looking for a good place to learn abot kernels in genral.
Many thanks.

Kernel is causing the problem. Flash only kernel which is made for specific rom/android version. follow this if you want to flash via Odin. I recommend you to install CWM because its easy,safe and time saving.

Installed CWM Recovery, tried to flash Cyanogen 9...now it keeps rebooting back into CWM...can't access the Recovery menu. I downloaded the updated kernel. How do I get it flashed?

I was able to connect via ODIN. Can't get recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-hercules.tar to flash.

restart your computer log back in and use a different USB port and make sure you have all the DRIVERS for the phone plug it in flash the ODIN CWM file then you should flash an ICS ROM then flash JB to avoid any hiccups 2.3.4 is a big jump to JB might be giving you errors and you are rooted correct ?

Thank you. Yes I'm rooted an runnning smoothly with Juggernaut ROM for now. Want to change to Cyanogen 9.0. I'll flash the ODIN CWM file as you recommend. Where can I find a good ICS ROM and JB? Didn't know the jump from 2.3.4 to JB would be so big.
Many thanks.

what do you prefer the more stocky looking approach or you into AOKP/CM if you like stock then anything from PTMR and JAMISON904 are on point and very stable if you want some options and custom stuff look into the CM/AOKP around here in the development forums since you are rooted i would download a nice ICS you wont be on it long so doesnt matter lol and then finally jump ship to JB give it time for the battery to settle in becuase there was nothin like GB as far as the battery life goes this one guy who has amazing work and dedication http://goo.im/devs/Cl3Kener anything on there will do you justice when you get to the JB stage good luck and happy flashing!!

C13Kener DOES have some amazing stuff. Thanks. I see that he has a nice ICS stock ROM (Samsung-Stock-4.1.2-Tiberius-Kernel-1.1.zip). Can I just flash that from recovery or do I need to flash a new kernel via ODIN beforehand? Apprecaite your patience and help.

I think there is some confusion here. A ROM is not the same thing as a kernel.

I think thats where I'm having trouble. I have an older kernel (recovery-cwm-hercules.tar) and need to upgrade it before I can flash an ICS ROM. Don't know where to find kernels for the ROMS I want to flash. I thought some ROMs came with the kernel embedded in their zipfile, but finding thats not the case. ODIN is fairly easy to use, but I don't know where to find the right kernels for ROMs like Cyanogen.

Recovery is a tool used to flash ROMs and do backups.
TWRP and CWM are recoveries.
ROMs are the operating system of the phone. They come with a kernel. The kernel is what boots the phone into the OS. You can flash a different kernel if it matches the type of ROM you are on. I hope that clears up some of the confusion.

[Q]4.4.2 aosp roms bootloop

ok so as you all know ive been having this problem with my note 2 eversince i flashed a mk4 rom and updated prl firmware version i guess it updated my baseband and all sorts of things i flashed the odin wifi fix and it made mk4 wifi work and everything was glee.. well i wanted aosp 4.4.2 back because it was simply gorgious i guess i had a thing for it. well i went to flash it after wiping factory data reset and after it flashed i let it run for over 30 minuts and it never made it past the cyanogenmod boot screen so i assumed it was a bootloop or bad download. my answer to this is i believe its the baseband or prl version not letting me run this. because before i ran mk4 and did all the updates i could always revert back to 4.4.2 without a problem now all the sudden i cant even load any aosp 4.4 rom. i can load all of 4.2.2 4.1.2 all those aosp roms but not the newest rom which is frusterating. if anyone has a fix or a recamended solution please help me because i have done just about every factory reset availible such as billiards back to stock and some other one. both not helping.
below here is the data i have recorded from my phone
PRL 2011
Baseband L900VPAMC2

PRL and baseband should both be irrelevant. Your problem is most likely a corrupt download. Have you checked hash sums?

How many times you've downloaded is completely irrelevant. You've either verified the md5 hash and thereby confirmed your downloads are good or you have not. I presume you have yet to do so.
Before any other steps can be advised you have to do that 1st basic step.

The download is good

One question...your baseband says MC2, did you unroot at any point following the MK4-upgrade (and wifi "fix") back to MC2? I have a theory, if you have not unrooted to MC2 firmware, and that is just because you didn't update radios...you might not like it...
The MK4 radio works fine IME with 4.4 ROMs FWIW.

i chose the oldest return to stock from billiards. i wanted to see if that fixes anything and it doesnt do squat. i just wonna figure out a resolution to this mess. my current baseband and prl and firmware version are

Crap...you just shot down my working theory.
In flashing 4.4 builds, you're using complete wipes? What GApps package are you using? ParanoidAndroid 4.4 Apps?

im doing a complete wipe and flashing the rom first to see if it even boots. and no go.
This doesnt make sense at all and makes me revert back to the baseband theory. i think somthing with the version of my phone has somthing to do with it.
the wifi patch wasnt the problem the recovery isnt the problem the only think i can think of is my phone is corrupt and wont flash 4.4.2 roms which aggrivates me. i want to get to the bottum of this

literally any aosp 4.4.2 rom bootloops.
the only one that booted up fine was omni rom and it didnt even have mobile data or signal seemed like it was for att or a gsm company because it had no support for my phone.
if i could just get ahold of a 4.4.2 kernal such as carbons trinity kernal or pretty much any 4.4.2 flashable kernal i think i could fix it as it seems that might also be the case

Did you try wiping your internal memory? I had a similar problem once, that was the solution.

The 2.05b kernel of Plasma works fine with Omni. I've been using Omni builds for the last full month on my L900. Baseband is MK4 and PRL here is 2006.
No radios working sounds like you were using TWRP and not CWM or PhilZ recovery to a T. Maybe the latest TWRP has fixed its compatibility problems with 4.4+, but last I tried using TWRP to flash any 4,4 build-all it got me was no wifi/cell service. Be sure to use the recommended Paranoid Android GApps package for 4.4 with Omni.

Could you provide me with a link to the kernel that will work with cyanogen mod omni doesn't have data or mobile service
I have the philz

I don't flash any Google apps until i see that the rom is working which I've had no success. The weird thing with omni is that it doesn't even support sprint it only supports gsm

Something has to be bizarre with your handset. Seriously, there's no other way to describe it. OmniROM for L900 is NOT GSM only, something in your flashing got altered in the middle of all your flashing. See my screencaps below if you don't believe me.
My only theory is that that "wifi fix" scrambled something in your radio for AOSP 4.4 ROMs....and that whatever it is isn't purged by a normal flash of a new/old baseband. It can't be the PRL as that is irrelevant and if you had a bad PRL it wouldn't work even under stock ROMs, and the baseband shouldn't matter but as you can see below I'm on baseband MK4 and I work fine.

let me revert back to stock one more time and do the 4.3 update and get the latest baseband version and ill report back to you after rooting and trying the omnirom or cm ok? i dont have a clue what the hell is going on as of now but its boggling my mind

OK so I'm on the latest baseband I flashed cm and no go kept sticking at the cm logo animation nothing else
I flash the kernel and it does the exact same. Fwi I'm using clockwork mod recovery

ok so i managed to get omni running without a problem the only issue is Root privilages. it doesnt have root. ive installes super su but it doesnt go into recovery and flash the binaries which doesnt make sense. ill try one more rom before i flash back to mk4 smoothest for a while. wish i could get this sorted out

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Just flash supersu installable zip from recovery

i dont have the flashable zip
didnt see anything on the omni post either.
my question is why did this rom run without a flaw but when cm or pa flashes it has issues
