[Q] Can't flash EL13 Root [2.3.6]

Anyone have any ideas why I cant flash the Root version of the 2.3.6 ROM [EL13] but i can flash the stock modified one (No root) ?
I flashed in Rogue Kernel on EK02 and EK02 modem and it successfully ODIN'ed then on Reset it hangs on the Samsung Galaxy 2 logo. I then have to revert back to EG30 stock to fix it.
The non root works fine however. WTF?

i used mobile odin and had it auto root, worked fine

mobile odin says it wasnt supported on my model. I have the Epic Touch 4g. Is this not supported?

i was rooted already, i think for mobile odin to work you need to be rooted

What file were you using?
Without more info I would suggest using odin and flashing a recovery then flashing mc2 stock with counter reset. Dont remember exactly who made it at this moment but scan through development section and you will find it.

It's failing at sboot because you're trying to downgrade on a secured bootloader. You can't downgrade. You can only use the latest stock firmware.
This is the stock 4.3 image for use in Odin http://www.mediafire.com/download/7viivd985s7cp8l/L900VPUBMK4_L900SPTBMK4_HOME.tar.zip
To get into download mode use vol down, home, power. You'll need Odin 3.07 or 3.09. Put this in the PDA or AP tab. DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ELSE IN ODIN.

[HOW-TO] Preparing to flash an ND8 (kitkat) rom

Given that the first ND8 rom is out there now, I'd thought it would be a good idea to write up the steps you need to take BEFORE you can proceed to flashing your first ND8 rom.
Steps to take/verify before flashing an ND8 rom
Check your bootloader version. If you are not on the ND8 bootloader, any ND8 rom you flash will brick your device.
You can check your bootloader version by running the following command in a terminal emulator app/shell on your device. Adb shell will work as well if you know how to get that going.
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
If the version string it returns ends with "ND8" (no quotes of course), you are golden and you can skip to STEP 5. Otherwise continue to step 2.
Oh no. You ARE NOT on the ND8 firmware so you need to flash it before you can safely flash your first ND8 rom. Head over to THIS thread and flash the stock tar using ODIN (or a similar program) ON YOUR PC. Mobile ODIN will not just fail to flash it properly, but may leave you with an inoperable device aka brick. Don't try to take shortcuts. Following the instructions in the stock tar thread for how to flash the tar. NOTE: The restore tar MAY or MAY NOT wipe your internal storage so back up your information as necessary.
After flashing the stock tar, head back here and move on to step 3
Download a custom recovery tar (I highly recommend Philz touch, works for flashing kitkat roms well with the greatest consistency. Grab the latest tar HERE)
Flash the recovery tar with ODIN (or a similar computer program such as jodin, heimdall, etc) the same way you flashed the stock tar.
Now you can flash your rom. Yes, it is slightly tedious the first time, but once you are on the ND8 firmware you needn't repeat these steps the next time you want to flash an ND8 rom :good:

Devs and others, I encourage you to refer all ND8 flashing questions here to keep things centralized and have one set of info from one person versus multiple from multiple people.
Have fun flashing!

It definitely did wipe my internal data, so be sure to backup to your SD card or off-device. I fortunately had most of it backed up, but I think I lost some pictures.

Is there any way to upgrade to rooted stock ND8 without losing data? I'm rooted stock MK3 and I don't think I've ever installed the Knox boot loader. My boot loader came back as MD4.

The only chance for you is if you're rooted Odexed. You'd have to unroot, flash the stock Knox MK3 bootloader, kernel and recovery, and then accept the OTA.
There is NO way to run TouchWiz 4.4.2 without the Knox ND8 bootloader.
And if you don't know one way or the other, I'd say there's more of a chance you're DeOdexed than Odexed, which won't work at all for the OTA.

I've been itching to move to ND8. I'm currently on MD4, with no knox. With all this talk of knox, is it really that bad to have?
I'm on Ting, so I buy my phones outright and don't have phone insurance. I have my old SGS2 as my insurance. Its my understanding that the main issue with knox is if you downgrade your bootloader, it'll hard brick your device. Otherwise, you can still flash ROMs and what not through custom recovery just like before, regardless if its MD4 based or AOSP. I don't think i'll ever need to send my phone to Sprint/Samsung for warranty/repairs/ect. or downgrade bootloaders (never felt the need to). If I sell my phone, I'll just odin the stock ND8 and be done with it. Are there any other downsides to having a bootloader with knox?

So just to be clear if I follow those 2 steps above I then can flash any ND8 ROM, I got that, but will the phone still be rooted? Why do I ask? Well if you keep reading the ND8 Full Restore thread bilgerryan posted to flash CF Auto Root, then recovery, so I am just a little confused. Here.
Unfortunately the OP in the ND8 thread never updated the initial post to include all of the requests that followed, like listing the MD5 and attaching the root instructions that were posted. I am pretty sure I got the answer to my questions by reading the thread again, but I can see how things get confusing fast. So keeping root is a 3 step flash.

I may have asked this in another thread, and if so, I apologize (I've been horribly sick) but is there any way to ODIN through WIFI or something? The MicroUSB port on my phone is destroyed and I can't afford a repair. I am rooted, with a custom recovery, on the MD4 bootloader, and would like to move up to an ND8 based KitKat ROM, but obviously the broken port is causing a bit of a problem.

Hi CNexus. I appreciate the guide. I seem to have run into a bit of an issue though.
I was on 4.1.2 (rooted Sprint L710) and decided to flash this update. I used Odin 3.09 and flashed the stock ND8 as per step 2. Everything went fine and it booted up without any problems so I went back into download mode and flashed the custom recovery you have linked in step 3. Odin gave me the big green "PASS" and the phone rebooted. Again no problems so I transferred the rooted stock rom (this one) to my SD card, turned the phone off and went to boot into recovery mode.
Here is where the problem is. When trying to boot into recovery, I get to the screen that says something like "booting recovery..." and then the screen just goes dark. Nothing happens as long as I hold down the buttons. As soon as I let them go the phone boots up like normal. :/
I repeated all of the steps again thinking maybe something (maybe me) messed up the first time. Same issue. Recovery won't load but the system boots just fine.
If you, or anyone else, have any ideas I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.

To boot into recovery u have to let go of the volume up, home button, and power key all at once when the "booting recovery" screen appears. If you're still holding them down when the "booting recovery" screen disappears, you're phone is going to start up like normal.

A couple days ago i flashed Philz 6.00.8 d2spr for rooting my virgin mobile s3 4.3 version with odin. Today I upgraded with 4.4 kit Kat stock tar, then flashed philz 6.008 again through odin, rooted ,debloated ect. My question is can I upgrade/flash philz 6.00.8 d2spr to the newst philz recovery through recovery? Or do I need to odin a recovery again. Also i originally tried to odin the d2lte version but odin said it was invalid so I used the d2spr.

You can flash any recovery from your custom recovery. The first one is just Odined because you can't flash that from stock recovery.
Old Philz had separate SPR and LTE builds. The SPR ones aren't built anymore and you can flash the latest LTE one just fine, that's what I use.

Help!

So I was dumb. I tried flashing a kernel (the one found on the main xda sprint galaxy s3 page) on my rooted, stock rom, kitkat s3. When it didn't seem to take, I tried flashing my nandroid recovery. When the phone booted, gapps weren't working, everything was crashing, and the phone had no service. I freaked out and (this entire time I'm trying to find helpful forums) tried flashing a stock 4.3 rom (the only one I could find). Gapps are working again and I'm still rooted with 4.3, but I still have no service. There doesn't appear to be a baseband version installed. At this point, I'd love to just get service back (I can't seem to find a relevant or helpful thread), and eventually update to 4.4 again. Help?!

If you were ever on Stock KitKat, you need to use the ND8 Modem. The only way of getting that is by re-Odining the stock ND8 tar.
You'll need a new cable. Do NOT use Mobile Odin with the stock tar, you'll hard brick your phone.
After you do that and Odin the latest Philz Recovery, make a nandroid of your ND8 modem in case this happens again.
What recovery and version were you on? This has been known to happen on CWM. I haven't tested restoring with TWRP v2.7.0.0 yet, but Philz is known to be 100% working with KitKat.

Once I odin the ND8 tar, that will break root, correct?

Try a different USB port. Try rebooting Windows. Try a different cable if you have one.
Have you already been to the Philz Recovery thread in the Development section? Once you follow the link in it's OP to the downloads, and select Spr or LTE, I forget which they're using now for our builds, then the latest is at the bottom of the list. They have the file dates beside them. You want the one that ends in .tar.md5.
Not the .zip, and not the plain .md5 file listed after the zip, although it doesn't hurt to have those too, but for beginning purposes you want the .tar.md5.
You're welcome!

So I realized that even with a new catble, I wasn't going to get anywhere with odin because the microUSB port on my phone was shot. So I took it to the Sprint store and told them about the port and that I had lost service when trying to upgrade to KitKat. So, not only did they just completely re-flash the phone restoring service, they also just replaced the port. All for free and not with Sprint warranty. So, obviously, I'm now unrooted, but the phone is back to stock with service!
Anyway, thanks for all of your help! I think I'll root it after upgrading to KitKat from 4.3 again, and then use the PhilZ recovery you suggested. From now on, I'll just be doing things I know exactly how to do. Again, thanks for all the help!
