Anyone have any ideas why I cant flash the Root version of the 2.3.6 ROM [EL13] but i can flash the stock modified one (No root) ?
I flashed in Rogue Kernel on EK02 and EK02 modem and it successfully ODIN'ed then on Reset it hangs on the Samsung Galaxy 2 logo. I then have to revert back to EG30 stock to fix it.
The non root works fine however. WTF?
i used mobile odin and had it auto root, worked fine
mobile odin says it wasnt supported on my model. I have the Epic Touch 4g. Is this not supported?
i was rooted already, i think for mobile odin to work you need to be rooted

Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance
it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.
just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?
Skoksn,

Hey everyone,
About 4 months ago when I got my new Epic 4g touch I rooted the phone with autoroot and installed calkulins rom which I now have at version 2.6. I am also using an ICS theme. What do I now have to do in order to get the newest modem and custom ICS roms installed on my phone? Since autoroot is no longer functional I have heard that I will have to install the stock rom and modem on my phone and then use odin to install new modems.... Is this the case? Does anyone have links to stock roms and modems I should use before I proceed into using Odin?
Thanks!

You have few options:
1. If you want latest stock rooted rom just flash sfhubs one click FF18 rooted rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
2. If you want any of the custom TW (stock based) roms read thru threads, see which one you like most download the rom and copy to your sd card.
Boot to recovery. Wipe/factory reset (you're on GB rom and you're not risking to brick your phone) and apply zip in recovery.
Rom will flash kernel as well and you will have rooted ICS rom on your phone.
Download CWM modem zip file from sfhub's thread and flash it in recovery as well.
3. If you want AOSP/AOKP/CM rom just read the installation instructions in OP and follow them.
If you have more questions, ask....
Thanks!!
So sprint plugged the autoroot feature but I am still able to download any ICS rom on my current setup (after full wipe) and install through my CWM and it will work? I am on the EK02 modem, I am able to upgrade to ICS modems without using Odin?
if you have custom recovery you can flash CWM modem zip from sfhubs tread in recovery.
If you don't have custom recovery use sfhubs autoroot package to flash EK02 kernel with CWM recovery and than flash rom and modem in recovery.
Sprint din't include anything for us. It's all done by a great developer sfhub.
With Sasmung devices and their ODIN support, you aren't really required to have root to flash anything. In other devices(HTC), you need to have a exploit to root them so that you have Read/write access to certain partitions that you wouldn't normally, thus allowing you to flash.
My ET4g is stock unrooted F18 with the latest push from sprint. I want to go back to EL29 and try some of the custom mods for it. I downloaded a Stock EL29 rooted file, but wanted to check to see if it will work without bricking my phone before I flash with odin?
if u want to go back to el 29 download a rooted odin package from sfhub once you do that hit up the kernel repository for a rooted kernel get one that is tar and then odin that also that is the best way to get back to el29 and then do whatever you want from there
Anyone use Mobile Odin for emergency and us the bone stock T999UVALEM unrooted file, and use Mobile Odin to automatically inject root to it? If yes, did it work correctly?
As a side note, a couple days ago I was kernal swapping and lost wifi. It just wouldnt turn on. So I used MO to install Mr. Robinsons prerooted stock T999UVALEM, and after it finished, wifi still didnt work. So I did a factory reset. Still didnt work, so I used Windows Odin and used the stock unrooted T999UVALEM and that did work finally.
So I used mobile Odin to instal the bone stock unrooted T999UVALEM, and had it inject root and super SU and mobile Odin again automatically. Worked PERFECTLY! It wiped data and cache, too. Root works as it should, too.
Hi,
I usually can find an answer going through the forums but now I'm in doubt so I'll just ask the question.
I'm on Rogers network. I rooted my phone using mskip amazing toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665. Everything has been going well but now I noticed that I'm not able to get LTE. I thought the problem was on Rogers side so I called the them but after 45 minutes on the phone with the tech I realized that my flashed ROM is probably the problem. (I still wonder why the tech didnt asked me if I had rooted the phone since everything he was asking me to do on the phone wasn't working....). I checked my APN and it's fine. I also used the app phone info and tried to force LTE without any luck. I read that if we flash an ATT rom that LTE might not work. Based on the menu options in mobile network (and my conversation with Rogers tech), I think I need to flash a rooted Rogers ROM. So I want to flash the Rogers stock root rom from mrRobinson (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) using CWM but I'm not sure if the file is made to be used with CMW but instead only ODIN. And I think I will loose CWM if I flash the file through ODIN since it contains a recovery file.
So,
1- Can I flash the Rogers stock root file from mrRobinson using CWM?
2- If I flash the Rogers stock root from mrRobinson through ODIN will it change my CWM recovery to stock recovery?
Thank you!
Yes, those images must be flashed through ODIN. TAR files need ODIN, ZIP files can use CWM.

I believe so, but just follow his steps to reinstall CWM recovery, it does take very long.
