HUGE thanks to kingsway8605 because without him, we would NOT have gotten this done. He spent hours getting a hold of this .zip, flashing this, odin'ing that, please appreciate what he did for us!!
Thanks to everyone else for getting the constant help - shabbypenguin, chris41g, T.C.P, graffixnyc, digits, and everyone else who helped out!!
No one but you is responsible if anything happens to your phone!
Please read everything before flashing and proceed with caution!
New build information
Android 2.3.6
EK02 Baseband/Radio
EK02 Radio
You can flash this right over your current ROM right from recovery but ONLY IF YOU ARE ON EG30 RADIO!! This is an update for that radio and that radio only! Don't be alarmed, it will take a few seconds to flash it. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that we don't have a stock EG30 radio, only EG12 or EG31. You can flash those if you want to get off of the EK02 modem, but hopefully this radio will eliminate LoS!

Thanks, once again, to kingsway8605!!
Just a note on some of the posts I am seeing in the thread:
(1) I haven't had the update long enough to say if it fixes the LoS for everyone, but since I received it yesterday I have not received an LoS when I used to get them all the time. Your mileage may vary. The screencap below shows what you should have if you install everything correctly.
(2) I am not a dev, I am just lucky. The great devs viper mentioned in his post spent a lot of time helping me get the update off of my phone. Methods of extracting the update.zip that worked with older phones did not work with this phone, which only complicated the process.
If you cannot install it, it is not our fault. You knew the risks when hacking your phone. I only received an OTA and the great devs were able to help me extract this OTA from my phone. At this point, it appears that even when the official OTA update is pushed to your phone, that it will still fail. The moden update only works on EG30 phones, period. Unless a dev can pull some amazing hackery or Samsung gives us a full tar, you are just going to have to wait. The kernel update should work just fine. If you are not EG30, I recommend Calk's EK02 ROM in another thread.
(3) As pointed out in (2), you hack your phone at your own risk. While this is an official OTA pushed to me by Sprint, it was pushed to ME by Sprint and not you. I have a person to call if this OTA screws up my future update path, but I have no idea how this will affect your future update path. INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.
(4) The update includes some very minor UI enhancements and minor bug fixes in addition to the LoS fix.
yay we did it
cant WAIT to see what comes of this. thanks!
Awesome work, everyone!! Kingsway8605, Viperboy, all the others who helped. It was cool to see it happen. Cant wait to see the results.
Nice. Thanks Kings.
Thanks king for yur hard work, I followed the whole thing in the chat and it was epic...
Great to hear. A couple of questions. Does it break root or is the update rooted? Also do we need to be on a stock rom for it to work?

I believe you have to be stock EG30 to flash the update.zip - you should be able to flash just the modem regardless of what ROM/Modem you're currently running. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!

I was one of the few who didn't drink the kool-aid and jump right on flashing EG31.
I waited a day or two to flash EK02, I decided to do it this morning. I've got the full package installed, EK02 Kernel, ROM and Modem. All seems good!
That said, does the current no-CIQ removal mod work on the EK02 package?
Thought I would ask before flashing it. Thanks guys/gals!

I have odined back to EC05 and it works good. I just upgraded to ACS ICS 5.5 from v2 of ACS.. I have noticed that signal seems weaker with EC05, wanted to go back to EI22 but didnt want to encounter the same issue...

im on samuri_gen 1.2 kernel now.. i thought that was a good one...
well it's suppose to be, but if your having problems with signal and speed, perhaps for kicks or trial and error, you should try a different kernel, just to see what happens. maybe better results, maybe not. only one way to find out.
I'm certain signal has nothing to do with the kernel try flashing other modems on ei22. I that sometimes others phones like other versions of modems ec05 and ei22 and not he only ones. Just the official "stable" but other are still usable. As for speed yes the kernel has to do with. Also try going back to ec05 not updating to ei22 but rooting and flashing a ei22 rom and flash the delta zip modemEc05toEi22.zip

You cannot do that. Only Samsung or Sprint signed zips can be done as an update.zip. So it would have to be renamed and ssigned or it will fail. He needs to root first and that is easy on EC05.

It is a delta script bulit to change your modem to the ei22 since there is not an official tar for ei22 modems. And it could help you because I know some people have issues with signal when they update rather than take the path of just flashing an ei22 rom and updating there modem thru the modem.zip and ill upload you it in a minute.

Read the Auto Root thread, it will give you pointers to get EL29 rooted.
Basically just flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature to get root. If you want CWM, use the Auto Root package, Option C, to install EL29+CWM-Rogue.

well for some urge, i just want newest bootloaders, official untouched software loaded onto my phone. I'm finding these ROMs to be not as good as stock. For example dialer codes on deodexed ROMS can't do "*#0*#". I just want temp root to gett rid of bloat, apply the tethering mod, and then remove root. I just dont want my files to be pre modified or touched by someone.
There is no root exploit available in the way you want at the moment. However, I can assure you that if you flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click, then do whatever cleanup you want, then use Auto Root Option B to unroot, you will be at 100% stock Modem, Kernel, and ROM (except for the changes YOU made)
I'm not sure the distinction you are making is really significant, as adding 3 files to the ROM, doing your thing, then removing them isn't going to result in any "changes" in behavior, certainly not the ones you listed above.
The packages I put together are not custom ROMs. They are the minimum needed to get root. Nothing else is changed. The changes made to add root are completely reversible by running Option B in Auto Root.

How come people installing AIO over your EL29 are having issues compared to those who put AIO on Calk's pulled odex stock EL29? Those type of discrepancies get me frustrated. I'm not saying anything is wrong, but idk :/
the issues on the pre-rooted EL29 can be pointed out in the AIO thread
I think i found a way to try out tomorrow.
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper
I can use that to keep root after taking an OTA. so i can use auto root from EG30 stock and use that app to preserve root with the OTA
A review from the app:
"Kept Root After Upgrade to Sprint Epic 4G
Epic 4g is the Sprint version of the Galaxy II. I installed the app before doing an OTA upgrade today. I backed up root. I did the over the air upgrade, no more root access. I opened OTA RootKeeper, pressed the button for restore, and I have root again. AMAZING!"

I agree with you completely 80% of threads on xda are usally user error. Do you know how much actual reading you would have to do the skim through the nonsense people do. If you are running Blazer and flash and AIO for Calks - guess what you may have issues. These are the people posting that nonsense...sfhub dont drive yourself crazy since if he temp roots or regular root he is still changing files ......**smdh**
Developers and Themers who give out great directions in their OP I Thank You
No need to be jerks guys, just stating what I found on other threads

This is outdated and here for reference. Go here for the easier up to date method
Same procedure as the original guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774722 . I am aware that this is wothless to most people. I know theres triangle away and all that. However Ive noticed some still prefer to go this route. Plus makes a good place to grab the official tar and keep root. So to help those people out here is a prerooted. LJ7+LI3.TAR for use in odin that will give you root leaving your flash count at 0. Official binary status. This is the latest OTA. This has been compressed in a 7z archive. Extract before using
Prerooted LJ7 Jellybean w/o data wipe
This will not wipe data
Factory reset recommended before use

is this really the offical JB?
Yes the one sextape posted last night/ this morning is official. This is the same thing with root added. If it was not official then it would trigger your flash count. This does not

Finally. Im glad Samsung didnt pull an Epic fail like the GB and especially the froyo bull they pulled with the epic 4g.
Its days like today I feel bad for all those poor sammy phones out there that never left gb/froyo
I believe you may want to go ahead and explain what u mean hy official. This as of yet has not been confirmed as official OTA but is an official leak.

i mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33174377&postcount=1 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33175014&postcount=6
In addition to the fact that this flashes a kernel modem and recovery which pass and do not trigger the flash count. All i need to see to consider this official. If thats an issue for you then http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1639
Never said it was an issue. I am saying the only reason this does not add to your counter is due to the fact that it is Signed by Samsung for installation through Odin. It is in fact official due to this fact but is not confirmed an official OTA as of yet thus not being the official final release that will be OTA until we confirm this information. It may or may not be, just correcting this information to what we know until further notice.

Well even if there were updates made to it before it was pushed out i think its safe to `say this will be the go-to tar for unbricking and what-not. Highly unlikely Samsung will make another tar after this. I mean other than this the only other legit odin tar for the phone is the LEN tar and look how outdated that is. Plus the modem thing. The phone refuses to flash any modem that is not LEN. (or LJ7)
LF9 LG2 LG8 and LI3 will all fail when attempting to flash with odin. This and the first LEN are the only ones to pass on that. And this comes with a new recovery as well. Which also wont trip the counter. Which means the tar contains signed images in it, unlike the other leaks. Just too much that points to this being the one. Regardless I guess we'll see but in the mean time, call it what you want. Or ask sextape i did link that tar at the bottom of my post.

So will this wipe everything? And if I read right, it comes with a recovery too right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
New Recovery yes. As far as wiping I cant confirm. Seems like half said yes other half said no. I cant specify because i flashed it with Nand wipe checked and I repartitioned so naturally mine was wiped regardless. If your worried about it wiping then uncheck auto-reboot and pull the battery when its done. Leave it off for a few seconds and you should skip recovery when you turn it back on.
yo guys does it matter what rom we are on or can we just run the .exe? im on miui right now. should i go back to a tw rom first? thanks guys
ps ive hardbricked one s3 when i first got it like a dumbass so i just wanna make sure!
Dont think it matters i would boot into recovery and do a wipe first tho
