New to Samsung phones - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello,
I have always had an HTC phone and all this EK02 and E4GT stuff makes no sense to me... I am afraid to flash any of the roms because I don't know what EK02 or E4GT i have or if my phone is compatible with that.
I just got my Epic 4g Touch and I rooted using this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EwEYVB_ut4 .
Hopefully I do no get flamed for this because I am a new so please bare with me.
I wanted to use this ROM ([ ROM / 11-19 ] Calkulin's E4GT v1.5a [EG31 l Fast l Tweaked l Battery Saver Script])
But I was wondering what info I need to see if I can flash to this.
My phone is STOCK but rooted.
Here is other info.... *** 2.3.4 / S710.10.S.EG30 / 2.6.35.7-LoStKernel+ / GINGERBREAD.EG30 ***
Thanks in advance.

EK02 is the more recent modem, kernel, and ROM update (Android 2.3.6). Supposedly fixes LoS
EG30 was the official build before EK02.
EG31 is a patch for EG30 in attempt to fix Loss of Signal problems.
Just a heads up, if you flash Cal's ROM, which has an EG31 modem, you can't update your modem to EK02.

Hmmmm.... Weird.... So I don't know what to do damn it lol...
Because if I go to the EK02 modem which is the latest, I am assuming there is barely any roms for it or something?
But if I stay on EG31 with Cal's ROM, then I will be stuck with an older modem....
Blah...

If you flash the EK02 modem you can still take your pick of ROMs just remember that you can't go back to EG30 only EG31 or EG12 but as of now nobody has said EK02 is worse than EG30 or 31.

Oh ok! Awesome!
If someone releases a ICS port for this phone, what modem do you think it will use? Or it can work on any modem?

That's not clear at the moment. There could be another update before ICS is fully ported.

Ah ok. I assume the update for ICS will most likely be something newer than EK02?
If so, can I just download [ ROM ] Stock Rooted EK02 System [ OS 2.3.6 ], and install it through my ClockWork Recovery?
Or do I need to download the modem by itself and install it, then install the [ ROM ] Stock Rooted EK02 System [ OS 2.3.6 ]

The updated modem should be included in Cal's stock rooted ROM.

I thought there wasn't a modem yet?

There's a zip to update to the EK02 modem. You MUST be on the EG30 modem to flash it though.

....meaning if your baseband says EG12 or EG31 then you can't update the modem

Just my 2cents:
I think it would reduce the amount of "What if I'm on EG31" posts if a message was put in the OP saying something like "ONLY EG30, NOT EG31, EG12". Lots of people only read the OP, and it would probably save a lot of headaches if it was made abundantly clear from the beginning. Gotta see it from a non-readers' perspective, "EG31 is an updated EG30 therefore it works".
Otherwise, awesome vid qbking. Your other vids definitely helped me when I first got this phone.

Some of the methods posted in the OP are not only for EG30, you can have the EG31 and EG12 modems for certain videos.

Oh I should've clarified. I mean for flashing just the pulled EK02 modem.
Swype was updated so no more mixing letters like A and I with previous words...haven't noticed a whole lot yet but yes the media hub was also updated as you said.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Damn! They killed the bounce effect. I really like the bounce and I'm not fond of overscroll at all. I guess I'll have to hope for a mod.
Does the updated Swype still have the same theme?

Just updated to stock 2.3.6. Thanks for the info and videos. It really made it easy.
I am currently on stock EG30 and was planning to upgrade to stock EK02. My question is if I can root after I upgrade to EK02, maybe with either of these files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367971
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368180
Or should I just go with the pre rooted EK02? I would like to try the stock out first just to make sure everything runs fine before I go rooted. Thanks in advance!
i was rooted on a stock rom can i not be rooted at all???

To get stock you have to Odin in EC05 stock and then allow your phone to OTA to stock Gingerbread. The full tar has not been released. If you mean a Google ROM like Nexus...Nope. You bought a Touchwiz phone. It is so far imbedded that it breaks some things to remove it all. Have you tried CM7? 4G is not working yet but most other stuff is.

That is your best bet right now. I remember there was some work with froyo and AOSP ROM but don't see anyone working on one now for Gingerbread. Probably waiting on the full tar release.

Modem Question

I havent seen this asked for E4GT.
If I am on EK02 am I able to flash any rom that contains a different modem or am I stuck flashing EK02 roms?
Thanks in Advance

Baseband = modem
Build = Rom
They don't have to match to work together. I'm running an LG8 Rom with the LIF modem. Sometimes you can get better signal strength that way.

Cool thnx Bro yea i wasnt getting the LI3 OTA update but my wifes got it like a week ago and i didnt have any patience
Okay so the next logical question should then be, how do I know which ones will work together and is there rule of thumb when upgrading? i.e. Rom version should always match the package? (if that makes sense)

Yeah the link is back to the original thread
FYI, most folks tend to keep the modem version in sync with the rom version.
Also Fyi, there were binary comparisons done with several of the baseband releases that came with the leaks that proved the only thing that was changed on MOST of them was the version number. No internal code changes were done.
When Samsung sends Sprint a package, it includes the baseband package as well, even if nothing was changed but the version number.

On pacman?? Give me just a min to look back at your previous posts.
:edit: Ok, I see where you were told that. Go back to Fi27 modem, test and confirm that 3g/4g/data work.. And then let's go back to your other thread on the MMS issue. Post in that thread that the issue isn't resolved.
