There is instructions on the development section. I'd link you but I'm on my epic, away from a computer.... you are going to have to search the threads for upgrading to ei22 from a rooted froyo rom, its easy though.

at first, i were like you

Why bother with the OTA? It breaks recovery. Just flash an EI22 ROM. Flash the EC05 to EI22 modem delta if you want that.

Do you have a stock one you recommend? I am looking for as close to what sprint has released as I can. I found the modem, just need the rest of gingerbread now.

Clean GB would be basic. I think the links are still up for the ACS deodexed ROM stock from the OTA. It basically had the GPS fix in it. I am on Legendary 4.01 and it is awesome.

Kinda want to stick with touchwiz (yes I know I am a gluton for punishment). So if I want 2.3 I get this feeling I am going to have to learn this ROM world. Yay...

If you mean you can flash a GB ROM from EC05 then yes or if you mean the EC05 modem works on GB ROMs then also yes. There is a EC05toEI22 modem delta flashable in the Development forum stickies.

Found what I needed from kennyglass 123
One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=deodexed+EI22
Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+OTA+EI22
I got gingerbread loaded I will look into the modem and the gps fixs later.
Thanks guys for your help!

He had it deleted because xHausx posted the stock rooted ROM 1st... plus he wasnt feeling well.. there are the odex and de-odex versions up
thanks man....i should know this but I dont...whats the diffetence between the two? again ty
one more thing...im so confused I dont know where to start if I want to try this...im on konis e3 if that helps...again thanks, if u dont want to help and give a walk thru I understand
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The deodexed version is themeable, the odex version has a slightly faster boot time and uses less space in system. That's the quick and dirty answer, anyway. If you want to modify it at all, flash the deodexed version, otherwise just flash the odexed version.
You're going to flash it the same way you'd flash any other rom. Follow the directions in the thread, I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the updated radios, etc. If you don't know how to flash a rom - I know you have a custom rom installed, but a lot of people have someone else root/flash for them - there should be a walkthrough floating around somewhere. If you need help or just want clarification, shoot me a pm. I have a fairly lengthy write up on everything to do with rooting/flashing/recovery/etc, I'd be happy to send you that or help you out.

The wimax, prl, and radio are optional; they will update what the are supposed to. You'll only brick your phone if you do a battery pull/battery dies during an update of the radio. You don't have to update any of those if you don't want to, but just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash if you want to.
thank man...whats the benefit of updating those, which kernal should I use andwhats I hear its sense 1.0?
arent we on like 2.0 something?

Nothing really besides having an updated connection possibilities...PRI can affect your battery, but if its good, no need to change it. Yea, its sense 1.0, and there are sense 3.0 roms out there.
why would an upgrade downgrade like it did? whar the difference between 3 and 1¿

Need ET4G Advice

Getting mine Monday 12/5 but seeing there are a few different ways to root and just found out about the LoS bug. So had a few questions I hope you guys can answer.
1) Watch Video of Odin root and is easy. Is this the the best root method or should I use/or try another one?
2) There are a few kernels and roms which say they fix LoS. Any advice on which would be better to use?
3) Wifi Tether does it work with 4G? And which works best? I ask because after 5 threads I really could not find a good answer. But I did research it.
4) Any ICS Roms for everydays use?
Thanks for any and all help.
1. Odin is the easiest by far.
2. Use the EK02 Modem as it fixes the issue
3. Most ROMs have a hacked Sprint Hotspot
4. No ICS
They are releasing a fix to LOS and we got lucky and Samsung pushed the update early to an XDA user. The devs worked together to pull the update and if I were you I'd flash the EK02 modem once rooted and use Calks 2.0 ROM.
There is an ICS port in progress, you can follow _viperboy_ n bubby323xda on twitter for it. But the post above is correct. For kernels I would just flash stock ek02 repacked cwm, and for a rom either calkin's or ek02 deodexed, but thats me.
If I was helpful, give thanks

1. I had used the Odin method its just 3 clicks and your done.
2.the LoS isn't too bad for me. I'm on stock rooted EK02 and kernal. Using EG30baseband
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Do not Odin the EK02 modem, it is meant to be flashed as it is just a patch to the EG30 modem. Just follow the OP in the EK02 thread in the Dev section.

this has everything you need to know
(this is the first video of qbking for ei22/el30)
No I'm meaning you need a stock modded for cwm to stick other wise it won't and once you odined the kernel you'll need to odin the cwm and you be fine look for the "epic gb kernel source with keyfix" by mkasick and scroll down to find the GB 3 a.tar which is the kernel and if you go to android development for the epic and go to the stickies or the "top" post find the [CWM] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 officially supported. Find the .tar to download and just follow the instructions. If you need a video search qbking77 on youtube he's very reliable

There is a straight up stock prerooted FC09 deodexed which means it has the odex files combined into the jar and apk files to make it easier for modding and themeing.

Radio options??!???

I'm coming from cm10 and I'm going to flash zedomaxs high on android rom and I read I needed a stock modem to go along with it since it's basically a stock rom and there's so many which do I chose since coming from cm10??? Any help appreciated
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.
If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.
