If you flash the NODATA version of EL26 in my signature, it will be pre-rooted, and keep your existing data.

Those are .exe files... They won't work on mobile odin right???

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.

But wut if I don't have a computer and just want to use mobile odin

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.

ClockworkMod?

I've been searching and can't find it... I just need to know how to get clockworkmod back. I found several threads but all the links were dead.. help a brotha out?...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Which version?
Or for what? Depending on your answer the recommendation could be different.
Most popular is Rogue recovery kernel which is based on cwm 5.0.2.8.

You had CWM where did it go? Nah just messin man... OP try to be a little more specific, what did you flash which caused you to loose CWM? What setup are you currently running? Which recovery are you looking for?

Boy, what a newb... my internet is down and Im just a little pissed, sorry for the lack of info.
I was on a stock EL29 rooted rom w/ cwm. I flashed a TSM rom and poof, all I have left is stock recovery. I want a GB version of cwm ( I don't care which version as long as its stable) as well as a good kernel/modem/rom if you have recommendations on those as well. I just need something stable and that has hacked hotspot included. Also, can you not flash .zip files with Odin?
Thanks guys, my bad on the newbish thread starter.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

IMO if you want hotspot on GB, the simplest way is foxfi, no root required.
Assuming you have root (either pre-rooted or using auto root for the earlier versions), the auto root package has a collection of all the various kernels repacked with CWM for you to install.

questions on flashing wicked sensations 1.6

I am currently on stock fh13 unrooted at the moment (not my first time flashing a rom) and i am wondering what steps do i take to flash the rom.
Can i do this?
1) transfer the rom onto the internal sd card
2) odin back to stock el29 with qbking77 videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vmEmheJnyg
3) root the el29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc
4) download mobile odin
5) flash the el29 directboot cwm 5.0.2.7
6) then follow the instructions in this video, except the different version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPHUlfdcQc0
Thanks

Why not just odin stock el29 rooted? Takes out the rooting step as the root is already included. The mobile odin el29 direct boot kernel.

So I can flash one of those 4.1.1 stock roms on stock recovery? If so could you let me know how
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

You can flash the otas in stock recovery if thats what you mean. But you have to be full stock UVALH2 first.
If you mean one of the roms based on those leaked otas then you have to flash with cwm or twrp.

Ok, first and just fyi, all of the files listed under OTA on that site are leaked, unofficial updates. Each has its own.....quirks. the only officially released ones are above the otas listed under firmware i believe. Only ics 4.0.4 are official builds.
The otas are basically patches, not full firmware. They patch existing files to update them to a newer release.
If you still want to go with the otas there are a few ways to do this.
The official way:
From full stock UVALH2 (no mods, debloating, modem must match, stock recovery, root is ok) boot into recovery and flash.
If previously rooted you can attempt to preserve root using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
Mobile Odin method (root required):
Get free Mobile Odin from xda, get full version on play store. (Full version will inject root during flash. I highly recommend this method)
Open Mobile Odin and choose OTA/Update.zip. Select the OTA you wish to flash. If pro version make sure EverRoot options are selected. Do not check wipe data, cache or dalvik. Press Flash Firmware and confirm to start the process.
CWM method (root required):
I have not fone this myself so try to confirm elsewhere the exact steps. Using latest cwm recovery, flash ota file and when asked do not flash recovery. When flashing is complete then flash a cwm flashable version of SuperSu/Superuser. Reboot.
After flashing any ota check for these files and if present delete or rename them. They rewrite stock recovery every boot.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Thats it! If i missed anything please let me know, particularly with cwm method. Thx
Alternatively you can just flash a rom in dev section based on these otas.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
