I have been reading a ton, but can't find a straight answer.
Is there a way to go from EG31 -> EK02?
I have seen the zip, but it says from EG30 only. Is there a way to go:
EG31->EG30->EK02?
And, have people been happy with EK02? Getting rid of LOS?
The only way, currently, to upgrade to a EK02 modem is if you are on the EG30 modem.
As far as LoS, there's a thread here in general about it. Seems as if it's still an issue (on non stock kernels).
EG31 -> EK02 ROM/Kernel - yes
EG31 -> EK02 Modem - no
Just to add, when the EK02 update is officially pushed out, a full system TAR will likely come very soon thereafter that the dev community will get its hands on. So while there's no way to go from EG31 to EK02 modems currently, it shouldn't be too much longer (sometime this month) that we'll have a full EK02 modem to flash.
Thanks guys for clarifying.
And yes, I did mean EK02 modem
So i dont understand why we cant flash the mdoem over the other one like on an epic.
Will it not allow you to flash it, or will it just brick you until you odin back to eg31?
Like what happens when you try to flash ek02 and your on eg30
And if it gives an error, couldnt someone edit the eg31 modem files so that odin thinks its eg30, "a name field" or something?

Tried it. The check sum is more complicated than that. Not sure what's being verified. Some sort of hash.

No, I meant it the way I wrote it.
If you are using the Sprint OTA update, then it'll only work on EG30.
However, folks here have applied the OTA EG30->EK02 to an EG30 system, then pulled a full EK02 ROM and full EK02 Kernel, placing them in ODIN tar files and CWM update.zips. Since those are full pulls, they can be applied on top of any ROM/Kernel, even custom ROMs and Kernels.
Now that Sprint is pushing out the official EK02 over the air, we will be able to pull the modem from the newer code. So, now - officially - we will be able to start going from EG31 straight to EK02 modem's. I haven't heard any real strong "advantages" to going to EK02 from EG31, however, if you're running an EK02 kernel. There have been a few posts with users saying their D/L speeds were slower after upgrading to EK02. Might be something to consider, unless you're still getting LoS with EK02-based kernel and an EG31 modem.

Would have been nice if that were true, but unfortunately the EK02 pushed today was still only an incremental update predicated on EG30. So, no, those of us on anything but EG30 (i.e. EG31, EG12, previous EK02) still will not be able to upgrade to the latest pushed version. And it looks like (based on the two leaks and lack of EG30) Samsung may not be presenting us with any complete tars at all. That would be very bad. Hopefully someone figures out a way to get us all back to original EG30.

There was a leaked version of the radio, EG31, and some of us decided to risk it to see if it fixed any of the LoS and other issues, not knowing we would be stuck there. Fortunately EG31 works well enough for most of us, just gets a little "claustrophobic" being stuck on the same modem indefinitely.

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

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

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.
Here's what I know & tried so far,
mmcblk0p8 is a modem partition but not used on the Epic 4G Touch, I can flash and pull modems to it with no problems, so I'm guessing it's a GSM only partition
modem_delta updates sections 4, 13 & 20 fine on either EG12 or EG31 (can't tell how many more are left to update)
I've pulled every mmcblk0p* partition to make sure none are the modem and none match, so it's not stored there
I've tried various ways to pull it using ADB or recovery and none have worked
So does anyone know how to decompile a update-binary?
Maybe ask Ninpo he was an absolute genius when helping bubby323 and I pull the stock zImage off of my phone so we could help others get back to stock.

Just a thought, could a problem be when pulling the modem that it has a problem because the modem is running at the time when the partition is mirrored? It doesn't make sense to me why it should come back with EG12 instead of EG30 when mirroring the partition from one phone to another, but maybe something isn't getting pulled properly because of open file handles. I'd think this is a very slim chance of causing any issues though.
Another thought, instead of pulling the partitions while booted as a phone, what about booting into recovery and mounting/pulling the partitions from there. It seems like it might be a little cleaner to do it from Recovery (with less stuff happening) than when the phone is running. Is it even an option (is busybox available, or can you copy dd to somewhere accessible to the recovery shell)?

^ Good stuff.
blk0p8 was probably filled from factory with eg12, though it is not used. CDMA samsung devices store the modem another way. I believe in the NVRAM.
the modem_delta.bin is exactly what it says, a delta, which is just the difference between eg30 and ek02.
Epic users have been trying for a while to figure out how to actually pull the modem.
Or a roundabout.... does anyone have any contacts at Samsung or Sprint where we could get the EG30 modem file itself and then upgrade from there with what we have? Maybe SamsungJohn or that samsungleak twitter group (forgot their proper name)?
I just ran across IDA Hex Rays decompiler..does anyone have any experience with it or know if it would work for us?
http://www.hex-rays.com/products/decompiler/compare_arm0.shtml
ive been using ida for a loooooong time, but it doesnt help us in this situation, at least not in any facet that i know of..
we need to find the modem stored on the phone, and then go from there
oh ok. I'm just thinking of how we can modify the EK02 update to install on EG12 if EG12 and EG30 modems are the same.

Actually, I think the confusion springs from how a pull from a EG30 phone resulted in a EG12 modem file, and a file comparison Calk did.
Awhile back, Calkulin did a file comparison between files listed as EG30 and EG12, and found them to be identical.
Here was his post ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18715115&postcount=12
But I think this was a side affect of comparing two identical files that were simply named differently. The issue, which prompted this thread in the first place, is the fact that no matter what we do, pulling the modem off our phones will currently result in a EG12 baseband, no matter what the file is called.

That's not the reason we are pulling EG12 from that location, Chris is right is saying that partition was filled with EG12 from the factory but it's not actually used, so the (used) modem is actually somewhere else and since we don't know the location, we can't pull it

I'm fairly sure this is how they've been pulling the file already, however, it's not resulting in the EG30 modem.
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'm pretty sure that you can flash the EG30 modem now and from there flash the EK02 modem. However, you may just want to go ahead and flash the latest modem which is EL13.
I just went from EG30 to EL13 and had moderate increases in DL & UL speeds.
Check out this thread qbking77 has a bunch of videos in here explaining how to do everything. You have to downgrade to EG30, then up to EK02.

Thanks. Didn't know it was possible.. On that note, maybe I should just go to the new EL modem? Hmm..
There is now a CWM update.zip to flash the EK02 modem on top of ANY existing modem WITHOUT needing to revert to EG30 first.
Serial flashers rejoice!
update-modem-EK02-FULL-CWM.zip
IMPORTANT: Only EK02 kernels and higher support FULL modem flashes (which these are). Earlier kernels only support PATCH modem flashes. That means you need to be on EK02+CWM or EL13+CWM to run these CWM modem flashes. It has nothing to do with the modems themselves, it has to do with the kernels. If you try to flash FULL modem flashes in earlier kernels it will just hang for a long time and timeout. If you press-and-hold the power button while it is hung (wait 2 minutes before doing that), it'll reboot the phone and you will be on your old modem.
Testing was done using chris41g's EK02+CWM, and EL13+CWM stock repacked kernels (these are the ones installed by the Auto Root Thread) but should work on any stock-derived EK02/EL13-based kernels. Recompiled kernels may or may not work, weren't tested.
I also created CWM update.zip's for EG30, EG31, EK02, and EL13.
They are available in the Resource Section #a13 (2nd post) of the Auto Root Thread and also in my signature.
I've also updated the Wiki DB.
Enjoy!
I am confused. How was this accomplished with only a delta?

Damn...I could have used this earlier today to get back to EK02 from EL13. Great work man, this will definitely be helpful.

Which kernel are you using? Are you using CWM? It needs to flash in CWM, not stock recovery.
Just to test your scenario out, I was running
EK02 Modem, EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM
I booted into CWM recovery and installed EG31 Modem using the first post.
Rebooted the phone, went to menu->about phone, verified EG31 Modem (EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM)
I ran a speed test over 3G then enabled WiFi and ran a speed test on that. Both were normal.
I then booted into CWM recovery again, and installed the EK02 Modem using the first post.
Rebooted the phone, went to menu->about phone, verified EK02 Modem (EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM)
Again ran a speed test over 3G then enabled WiFi and ran a speed test on that. Both were normal.
As an aside, with all 4 modems (EG30, EG31, EK02, and EL13) sitting on the /sdcard as full CWM updaters, switching modems has become a breeze. Takes on avg 2.5 minutes including flash and reboot time to switch to any of the modems.

Starting with EK02 Modem, EL13+CWM Kernel, and EG30 ROM, I downloaded the e4gtauto-sfx.exe packaged from the Auto Root thread in my signature.
I started the Auto Root, Chose Option C (install BootImg), and Option C (EG31+CWM), let phone reboot, went to settings->about phone, verified EG31 Kernel (EG30-CL435803 ie EG30-Rev5).
I now have EK02 Modem, EG31+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM.
I reboot into CWM and flash EG31 Modem from my signature, here it hangs trying to flash EG31.
That was the kernel I didn't test since I'm never on EG31. Figures that is the one that hangs.
Apparently it doesn't have anything to do with the EK02 modem flash. It won't flash EG31 or EG30 either.
I went back and tested EG30 since I realize I had only tested a patch upgrade from EG30. Now it makes sense. Neither EG30 nor EG31 (built 1 day apart) kernels support FULL modem flashes. They only support PATCH modem flashes. EK02 and EL13 kernels support both FULL and PATCH modem flashes.
My suggestion is to install either EK02+CWM or EL13+CWM from the Auto Root thread in my signature. Then you can flash any of the modems any of the time.
Thanks for the detailed break down. Coming from an OG Evo, things used to be much easier lol

Did the Evo support flashing full modems from CWM? I never had one so don't know.
On other platforms I had only seen patch updates also so when Samsung was supporting full updates I was thinking they were pretty on top of things. Apparently they just recently became the cool kids on the block and before they were like the other kids.
You can of course flash the FULL modems over ODIN w/o issues similar to RUU flashes on HTC.
Everything has it's caveats, if you flashed bad radios on the Evo you could potentially lose the phone's WiMax keys, making 4G unusable. ODIN is definitely a blessing for Samsung phones though. The phone is ALMOST unbrickable with Odin.

Do you have to be running Chris's repacked kernel to use this? Does it work with the Rogue kernel and their recovery or you need to flash the stock repack? I am on EL13 and just wanted to know in case I want to roll back unless EK02 modem will flash over EL13 with a problem anyway....

I don't remember the Rogue naming conventions, there was one with a custom kernel and the other with stock repacked. The stock repacked should work as long as it is an EK02 or EL13-based kernel. The custom one may or may not, I don't know, wasn't tested.
Why is this in general?

This is General because it is discussion and not a Q&A.
This should be sticky or Wiki if it isn't already. Much thanks sfhub
