How to flash modem, pit and or stock rom without using odin or a pc period.

I'm looking for a way to go from stock rom to a custom rom and back to stock without having to use a pc.
It would be cool if all of this could be done through clockworkmod or a version of odin that would run similar to clockworkmod on the phone itself.
Does anyone know a way to do this?
Has anyone heard about a person or an organization that is working on this sort of thing?

Well, i've downloaded ROMs to the Epic while on the go, rooted with z4root, done a CWM backup (before i ever flash a new ROM), booted into recovery, and flashed ROM of choice all without using a computer. I'm not as smart as any of the devs but it seems fairly easy for me this way.
Right now on my microSD card, i have several zipped ROMs on there (stock DI18, DK28, some custom ROMS as well) . I'll bet a lot of folks do the same as well.

There are some things you just can't do without odin.
If you read through the one-click root and recovery .bat file, you should be able to figure out how to root yout phone and install cwm without a computer. Remember to back up the original recovery if you plan on putting it back later without odin. You can then flash around to DI18 roms and get a stock di18 image to go back to.
If you want to mess with froyo, learn to odin.

I'm not sure about that. I ALWAYS keep a stock di18.zip on my sdcard, as a just-in-case. And I also know that noobnls post where I got it from also has a di18 modem in case your coming from a different firmware version...so there should be a dk28.zip and modem.zip right? If so why not?

Trying to flash an entire tar without odin or heimdall is dangerous... it is the boot.bin and sbl.bin that are most dangerous to work with... a wrong flash with sbl CAN brick the phone... as in, you can't even get to download mode. The sbl I know is different with Froyo. The other issue is with the modem, but modem flashes have been made that'll work in some cases.

General questions

Hey guys. Thanks for all the info.
I just came from a G2x, and this process is way different.
I used Odin to root stock EL29, and then installed Rogue with the one-click. Right?
Now can I flash an EL29 ROM through Rogue? Can I also flash a different modem through Rogue, (i.e. FC07) and a "matching" ROM? And if I follow correctly, after that, if I want to change it, I have to Odin back to EL29 first?
Just trying to catch on to the different terminology.

I'll monitor that one and the one I linked to for any responses.

[Q] need GBrom+kernalW/recovery .tar

I've been using SFHub's el29 one click to go back and forth from ICS , but don't see the need to Flash the modem every time I need to do this.
Does someone have a .tar with a GB Rom/kernal with recovery, but doesn't include a modem.I searched and found a couple of candidates but it seems megauplouad's site is now out of bidness.
Thanks in advace

If you flash the oneclick using mobile odin it won't flash the modem.
There is a version of el29 that includes rogue-cwm in the reference section if the 2nd post. When flashed through mobile odin, it won't trigger the yellow triangle.
You can also download and flash the individual components, also in the 2nd post.

[Q] Different Modem for CM9 A2

Hey guys!
This is my first post on XDA, though I've been creeping on these forums for years rooting my Orginal Gangster G1 and my Epic 4g. I recently just got the E4GT and I love it.
Obviously the first thing I did after charging it up was start getting it rooted and etc. So started on stock EL29, and with using all of QBking77's great videos, I rooted it with One-Click Root, got recovery on it, then did the whole process of getting CM9 Alpha 2 on my phone. Everything went perfectly and its running smoothly!
But now the question is how can I change my modem? I'm assuming EL29 is from Gingerbread and the F*xx's are ICS (if not just the latest F's?). But regardless of what they there, is it possible to change my modem WITHOUT going back to stock with the One Click root/restore, and then flashing a new modem, and then going through the whole process of installing CM9 again?
If there isn't, could someone please tell me what the most effective and safe way is to change my modem on CM9 is? And what is the general consensus on which modem is the best running with CM9. FC24, FD05, etc?
Thanks for the help in advance! It feels good to finally post!

If you really wanted to you could start fresh and install the modem along with CM9 again.
But most people will tell you to ODIN an EL26+CWM kernel and boot to recovery when it reboots, flash the modem, and then flash the kernel that comes with CM9. Its an easy process.
If I'm wrong, someone feel free to correct me
EDIT: Modems really are hit and miss for me. I suggest just taking a couple days and testing them out to see which one works best for you.

Just to make sure I have this right:
1. Odin the EL26+CWM kernal, just like I did to flash CM9.
2. Boot in to recovery, after Odin is finished.
3. Flash the modem through recovery. From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352310
4. Then flash the CM9 kernel.
5. And we are good to go?
Question is by flashing the CM9 Kernel do you just mean flashing the Rom zip (cm-update-9 blah blah), or is there a separate kernel file.

That's all correct except for the fact that there should be a separate kernel that you can flash for CM9. I'm not sure about all that so you might want to ask around about that. Just make sure you don't flash a TouchWiz kernel, as CM9 requires an AOSP one.
EDIT: Just looked at the link and make sure that the modem you flash is in CWM .zip format. You don't use tars in CWM.

You can also get mobile Odin from the play store and flash a modem (.tar file, can be found on Calk's ICS 1.4 thread) through that.

That's the method I use. Most people don't want to pay for the app. 100% worth it though.

Another easy method
A free method is to download Odin to your PC, put the .tar file into the Phone slot, hook up your phone in download mode and flash it from there, easy as pie.
Edit: Don't forget to leave only automatic reboot checked in Odin.

This.
Its late here and I wasn't thinking straight. My method had so many extra steps it wasn't funny. I can officially say my badddd.
The extra steps are worth the experience

So I can just flash the modem through odin? Awesome. Do they have the .tar's for all the modems? Or just some of them? And what's the risk of flashing it from Odin compared to method of doing a completely clean install with a different modem?

Clearing up a couple things:
1) Last I checked you cannot flash modems from Mobile ODIN on this phone. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, such as Epix4G...
2) Calk's ROM threads usually contain a list of all modem TAR files so that they can be upgraded.
3) Modems need to be flashed through ODIN as far as I understood. But whether or not you should revert to EL26 before flashing? I can give the CW advice of going back to EL26 (better safe than sorry IMO), but hopefully a person experienced with CM9 can give you better advice on this.

I'm running CM9 A2, and I've been keeping up with the latest modems using Odin. The beauty of it is that it is almost completely risk-free, no need to revert to EL26. Calks E4GT ICS thread has all the modem .tar files in the OP, flash away.
No offense meant, but we are talking about modems, not kernels, right?

Suggestion for recovery?

I followed QBking's guide for his AGAT FL24 custom recovery. Turns out either I'm donig something wrong, or it just isn't ready for FL24.
I'm a huge noob, so heres what I did. Tell me if it's correct: Placed my rooted phone into download mode, threw the AGAT .tar file into the PDA slot on ODIN3 3.0.7 and hit start.
IF it's correct, why does my phone seem to think it's the international version. At boot it has the normal "Galaxy S II" but below that it says "GT-I9000" or something like that...
And has a yellow-triangle (Not a problem, I know how to atleast get rid of that.)
So, the point of this thread is hopefully someone can suggest a recovery for me, for JB based non-TW based ROMS.
Since AGAT isn't sitting well with me ATM...
PS: I'm thinking of gonig to GA10 for a second time. Do I need to have a root and custom recovery for that too?
If so, do I reset cache and Dalvic..ect...?

You didn't say what ROM you are currently on? If you want GA10 full ROM then you flash that in Odin download mode for which a recovery is not needed.

Currently running 4.0.4 FL24 OTA.

The triangle and the i9000 screen are not a problem. It happens when you place custom kernels and rom on through odin. Triangle away will get rid of both
