[Q] Head Spinning....Which Recovery with EG31 Modem

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)

Can I do it?

I do have a stock EG31 modem. Can I flash EL13 on it?
Thank you!
From what I've read, you can. If not, however, you can always flash EG30 using odin (links Here), then go EG30 -> EK02 -> EL13. That's pretty much what I did, but I went from EG31 to EG30 in order to have EK02.

[Q] Instructions to properly install EK02 modem from unrooted EK02 system?

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?

EL13 to EK02

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)

[Q] blue kuban fl24 and its modem req.
