I've been reading xda/acs all day and I can't find plain instructions on how to root & flash an EK02 modem after you've updated your baseband to EK02. I kept reading that if you're on stock EK02 you have to flash back to stock EG30 to root & then flash to rooted deoxed EG30 to install the EG30 modem hack and then you can flash the EK02 modem. I flashed back to EG30 stock yesterday to download the OTA before I knew it changed my system to EK02 and about the EG30 modem prerequisite.
Now I'm on stock EK02 that I updated thru sprint's ota from the stock eg30 system/kernel. Can anyone help clarify or link me one good video demonstrating the entire process? I've been unable to find either, I've looked in qbking's thread for videos but was unable to find one for my situation. I want to reroot but with the EK02 modem properly installed this time so I don't have to use an app to tether.
do I:
1. flash my unrooted ek02 back to the unrooted eg30 rom
2. flash the unrooted eg30 to the rooted eg30 rom
3. flash the eg30 modem as described in the hotspot hack thread
4. flash the ek02 modem following the same instructions
5. flash the ek02 OTA update.zip
6. flash the ek02 stock rooted rom if it unroots my phone
7. successfully have wifi hotspot hack without taking 30-60 seconds to connect like it did with OpenGarden Wifi Tether on my non-modem eg30 rooted midnight rom?

So I was a jackass and installed EG31 on my E4GT without fully knowing the repercussions. I am back at full stock but for the modem.
Now all these updates are coming out focused on EK02 leaving those of us who did this upgrade screwed until a stock EG30 modem is found.
I do want to put back some kind or recovery so my question is:
Can I install StockACS5-EK02.tar.md5 on my E4GT with my EG31 modem.bin?

Yeah, doesn't matter if you're on EG31 modem.
It's a kernel + Recovery.

If youd like to upgrade to the ek02 modem you can download the eg30 modem.bin from qbking77s post and flah it in odin under the phone option and then grab the ek02 zip from -viperboy- post and flash it in CWM both of those can be found in the dev section (sorry for not posting links but im on my phone atm)
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,

Stock EG30 can't update to EK02.
Baseband version says:
S710.10 S.EG30
Kernel version says:
2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734
Build number says
GINGERBREAD.EG30
i used the instructions for flashing the stock EG30 [after many attempts to flash to EK02 stock] with ODIN. Placed the EK02 on external SD card and booted into recovery (stock) tried to apply the update and it fails at updating modem each time.
EK02 MD5: 49bc6cab6887015557a4d4950813c554 *182a027d4f63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip
any suggestions or is this a return to sprint repair shop deal?

To flash that EG30 to EK02 zip, you need to have a custom recovery and be rooted. If you are stock and unrooted, check for system updates.

The system update that pops up telling me about a new firmware fails at the same spot updating modem.
And after the reboot I'm never notified of the update again and checking for firmware updates returns there is no new firmware update available.
Update
Just got the phone back from the store and they don't know what the issue is but suggested that i use CWM to do the upgrade. Sadly not even CWM can flash the modem i tried, and they will not warranty the phone because this isn't a problem the phone still works but i can't update the phone to the OTA

The store told you to use a root only function? That is one AWESOME store.
And... is the update the EK02, or the EG30? I can't tell. I don't want to flash the wrong thing. The OP stated they can't update to EK02, but the commenter stated that to flash to the EG30. So which one is it? What is the OTA update?
Eg30 is the stock software and ek02 is the update .Odin the stock tar provided in the link . Update over the air from sprint.

+1.... @OP It sounds like you are making it difficult for yourself and honestly the EL13 with nociq is really the way to go. Or if you are completely stock right now then use this method hereand just flash a EK02 rom. The one thing I can tell you is never go to the store. You dont want them to flag your account and if something bad really happens they blame it on root. I know they are not supposed to but why tempt fate
i had the same problem....i flashed back to stock rooted rom....used file manager to go into the cache file....there is an update .zip file called something about EG30 to EK02...i moved it to SD card...booted into recover (CWM) update vie sd card and BAM....2.3.6....it unrooted me...i used e4gtauto-sfx.exe to reroot
I'm currently running Calk 2.0.1a with modem/kernel EL13.
I want to run the EK02 modem with the EL13 kernel basically leaving everything alone just downgrading the modem.
Is it possible to downgrade the modem only or do I need to downgrade the phone completely with a full restore odin?
Thanks!
You can download just the modem. Use the CWM modem link in my signature. If you want to use ODIN, the 2nd post of all the ODIN threads in my signature have an ODIN tar file for the modem (as well as other individual components, kernel & rom)
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
