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

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.

I'd recommend the Blazer ROM, its great and has a nice ICS theme cooked into it

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!

You are welcome.
This ROM is completely stock with exception of root/busybox added and it uses the repacked EL26 that Chris41G posted so that you keep CWM. Once a repacked EL29 kernel is up, I will reupload the ROM to include it
All must be flashed through CWM
Stock Rooted EL29 ROM (v1.0)
Stock Rooted De-odex'd EL29 ROM (v1.0)
EL29 Modem
EL29 Stock Kernel - No CWM
Thanks to puertoblack2003 for posting the tar of this version

Its De-odexed, it should be a little smaller and the odex files are built into the apk.
:| I just flashed EL26 yesterday too. :|
can i install this and then install the el13? i just want the stock rom.
You can go back to el13 if you want....that is what I use.
This seems to be just a small update to EL26 but great post. Using it now, hotspot mod seems to work with it just fine.
question, is there a preferred order of updating? like should i do the kernal first or modem first etc?
also, i am looking forward to trying this out because el26 was horrible on my phones battery life so i was about to go back to el13 today. but now i'll try this

Big thanks to sfhub for posting ODIN tar files.
All I did is pulling system from my phone after flashing it via ODIN and make a flashable zip for those of you who prefers zip files.
Rom must be flashed through CWM and it has stock FD16 kernel so you will loose custom recovery.
Stock FD16 can be downloaded here:
1. http://jumbofiles.com/re8nrv19h4kn/FD16_Stock_Rooted.zip.html

Stock FD16 Deodexed rom can be downloaded here:

The only difference is that you flash this in CWM recovery.
No need for PC.
Other than that it's exacly same rom as posted by sfhub.
Thank you sir...

This is not an oficial update from sprint.
This is a leaked software.
If you are on GB rom you can flash this but only after applying Calculings format all zip file.
If you flash directly over GB without wiping data you may end up in boot loop or worse.
I think this build has improved battery usage.
It's too soon to say but so far the battery usage graph is pretty horizontal.
Let's hope Sammy and Sprint did something about ICS battery.

I flashed the Kernel and Modem last night and I have to say that I agree with you. So far it seems battery has slowed to a crawl. Hopefully that stays the case.

Which one is affecting the battery performance? Is it the Kernel or the modem?

mind sound rude, but how's the GPS for this modem too, good?
I thought you guys might wanna run FG31 kernel with custom recovery
so you can flash what ever you want without changing kernel.
Here is repack (like good old days) of FG31 with my tREC_v0.2.1
1. FG31_AGAT.zip flash in recovery.
2. FG31_AGAT.tar flash with ODIN or Mobile ODIN.
I have tested this repack with my tFF18 rom and it works.
So far no problems.
Hope you guys will enjoy it.
Thanks and nice work.

This kernel has a safe recovery so there is no risk to brick phone from recovery point.
We don't have a source for kernel itself so I can't tell if it's safe.
Also my recovery will use updater-binary packed into rom zip file and if binary not safe and has emmc bug you
still can brick your phone.
However you can safely backup and restore using this recovery. Wipe the phone. Do factory reset and flash any other zip file that doesn't have ICS updater binary and/or doesn't have format() command in updater script.
How is the FG31 radio
Thank you Agat for yet another option for us all.

I think you're thinking of his FF18 kernel, this one is FG31
I think the FF18 kernel is on v4.2, and the recovery is on v2.1 is how I see it..
ie, I label my backups according to kernel & recovery.. so with the latest FF18 kernel, I put v4.2.2.1 at the end.. just so I can keep track..

That's what I was thinking...in a basic-sense. I wasn't sure if there were 3 or 4 "major" differences, or if it was just the FF18 vs. FG31 change, or something else, or ... Was curious, more than anything else. Thanks sj [& agat, of course. ]
I've been running this kernel and fg31 modem with Blazer 1.5 for two days with no problem.
Thanks a bunch for the great work .

So I installed an EL29 repack on my boss' phone and I was thinking about getting him up to date on GB08. Can I just 1-click over the top of what he has? Or do I need to unroot him first?

One clicks clear everything. It will do no harm to use that. Now if you were planning to flash a custom ROM in CWM, that would be different.
Are you flashing the entire ROM and modem? Jb kernels and modems will not work with ics or gb.
You'd have to read the threads associated with the builds to find that out though...
Seems like a lot of questions that have obvious answers from someone with your "experience"
Why not flash him to CM10?
