Hello!
Where can I find EL13 kernel and how can I install it?
I've found the kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389874 but it says no CWM
I'm just confused. Can I flash this kernel or not? And if I can't do it, where I can find the EL13 kernel I can install?
Please, help me, guys?
Buy the way, happy holidays to all of you. And Good luck!
steadyhawking released a flashable one in the dev section. I flashed it threw cwm.

Сan you show me the link, please?
Thank you!
Here is the one from Steady Hawking. Includes Rogue Recovery. Flash through CWM or previous version of rogue recovery.
If you flash that, do you need to also flash the modem? Or does it do it all at once?
Been looking for this thanks!!!
If you flash that, it only includes the kernel. The modem will have to be flashed seperately.
newbie, which one should I flash? been on rouge stock, the first release with no los issues anymore. eg30 (?) is what I have now.
Are modem and kernel independent of one another? Currently I have and EK02 kernel and EL13 modem. They seem to be working fine together and I'm getting great 3g service. Do I need the EL13 kernel?
Also part 2, will flashing the rogue EL13 kernel wipe out my ACS recovery, since it seems that the rogue recovery is attached?

No they are not because if they were your setup would not work as it is now. Yes if you flash one recovery over another you will change it... My suggestion to you is to go and read up on the wiki page for our phones. Your questions which I understand because you are a noob can get you into trouble if you do the wrong thing. This stuff truly is easy and common sense once you get the lingo so thats why I am telling you to go find the wiki...
Also I did not provide a link because I think thats part of learning, the ability to find what you are looking for and apply it to what you need.... IMO Good Luck and have fun....
thanks. I'll dig in and read up.

There is now a CWM update.zip to flash the EK02 modem on top of ANY existing modem WITHOUT needing to revert to EG30 first.
Serial flashers rejoice!
update-modem-EK02-FULL-CWM.zip
IMPORTANT: Only EK02 kernels and higher support FULL modem flashes (which these are). Earlier kernels only support PATCH modem flashes. That means you need to be on EK02+CWM or EL13+CWM to run these CWM modem flashes. It has nothing to do with the modems themselves, it has to do with the kernels. If you try to flash FULL modem flashes in earlier kernels it will just hang for a long time and timeout. If you press-and-hold the power button while it is hung (wait 2 minutes before doing that), it'll reboot the phone and you will be on your old modem.
Testing was done using chris41g's EK02+CWM, and EL13+CWM stock repacked kernels (these are the ones installed by the Auto Root Thread) but should work on any stock-derived EK02/EL13-based kernels. Recompiled kernels may or may not work, weren't tested.
I also created CWM update.zip's for EG30, EG31, EK02, and EL13.
They are available in the Resource Section #a13 (2nd post) of the Auto Root Thread and also in my signature.
I've also updated the Wiki DB.
Enjoy!
I am confused. How was this accomplished with only a delta?

Damn...I could have used this earlier today to get back to EK02 from EL13. Great work man, this will definitely be helpful.

Which kernel are you using? Are you using CWM? It needs to flash in CWM, not stock recovery.
Just to test your scenario out, I was running
EK02 Modem, EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM
I booted into CWM recovery and installed EG31 Modem using the first post.
Rebooted the phone, went to menu->about phone, verified EG31 Modem (EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM)
I ran a speed test over 3G then enabled WiFi and ran a speed test on that. Both were normal.
I then booted into CWM recovery again, and installed the EK02 Modem using the first post.
Rebooted the phone, went to menu->about phone, verified EK02 Modem (EL13+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM)
Again ran a speed test over 3G then enabled WiFi and ran a speed test on that. Both were normal.
As an aside, with all 4 modems (EG30, EG31, EK02, and EL13) sitting on the /sdcard as full CWM updaters, switching modems has become a breeze. Takes on avg 2.5 minutes including flash and reboot time to switch to any of the modems.

I'll leave my ROM alone since it doesn't affect the flash.
I will go and test your scenario right now.
So you have EG31+CWM *chris41g repack* Kernel and EG31 Modem, correct?
And the current operation that is failing for you is flashing to EK02 modem using the first post?

Starting with EK02 Modem, EL13+CWM Kernel, and EG30 ROM, I downloaded the e4gtauto-sfx.exe packaged from the Auto Root thread in my signature.
I started the Auto Root, Chose Option C (install BootImg), and Option C (EG31+CWM), let phone reboot, went to settings->about phone, verified EG31 Kernel (EG30-CL435803 ie EG30-Rev5).
I now have EK02 Modem, EG31+CWM Kernel, EG30 ROM.
I reboot into CWM and flash EG31 Modem from my signature, here it hangs trying to flash EG31.
That was the kernel I didn't test since I'm never on EG31. Figures that is the one that hangs.
Apparently it doesn't have anything to do with the EK02 modem flash. It won't flash EG31 or EG30 either.
I went back and tested EG30 since I realize I had only tested a patch upgrade from EG30. Now it makes sense. Neither EG30 nor EG31 (built 1 day apart) kernels support FULL modem flashes. They only support PATCH modem flashes. EK02 and EL13 kernels support both FULL and PATCH modem flashes.
My suggestion is to install either EK02+CWM or EL13+CWM from the Auto Root thread in my signature. Then you can flash any of the modems any of the time.
Thanks for the detailed break down. Coming from an OG Evo, things used to be much easier lol

Did the Evo support flashing full modems from CWM? I never had one so don't know.
On other platforms I had only seen patch updates also so when Samsung was supporting full updates I was thinking they were pretty on top of things. Apparently they just recently became the cool kids on the block and before they were like the other kids.
You can of course flash the FULL modems over ODIN w/o issues similar to RUU flashes on HTC.
Everything has it's caveats, if you flashed bad radios on the Evo you could potentially lose the phone's WiMax keys, making 4G unusable. ODIN is definitely a blessing for Samsung phones though. The phone is ALMOST unbrickable with Odin.

Do you have to be running Chris's repacked kernel to use this? Does it work with the Rogue kernel and their recovery or you need to flash the stock repack? I am on EL13 and just wanted to know in case I want to roll back unless EK02 modem will flash over EL13 with a problem anyway....

I don't remember the Rogue naming conventions, there was one with a custom kernel and the other with stock repacked. The stock repacked should work as long as it is an EK02 or EL13-based kernel. The custom one may or may not, I don't know, wasn't tested.
Why is this in general?

If you flashed the unrooted stock FB27 tar before Calkulin's CWM zip, then you can use these instructions to root it.
Another reason why you may want to flash the unrooted stock FB27 via Odin instead of Calkulin's is because it preserves your current data!
To get root:
Follow instructions 1 through 3 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505792
After performing step 3, shut your phone off by pulling the battery out.
Get into Odin mode and flash the following tar:

Sorry in advance for the noob question oleh, but is it possible to keep all data with the odin method even when coming from stock-rooted ek02 gb w/cwm5027? Or is that only true for people coming from an earlier leaked Ics rom/other 4.0.3 rom?

I am actually not sure. I came from ICS FB17, so all my data was retained. Maybe someone else that came from GB can answer this

The CWM that was referenced in the other post did not have a shutdown option, only reboot. So to shut it down I had to pull the battery out. If you use CWM that has the shutdown option then you can just use that

But doing that also reset your data, right?
This is mostly for people who already flashed the stock before Calk released his pre-rooted version. This also does not give you the yellow triangle

QUERY UPDATED AS ON 15th August
hey , just got it
its on El29 GB ,
i have been reading a lot in here offlate and have noticed that by and large people are not That happy with ICS update by sprint ( i may be wrong here , so gimme the benefit of the doubt ) , so i have decide do stick with GB for now till i am well versed with all things ET4G at this forum.
UPDATE 1: 14th august : i have just just rooted the device and installed the Rogue CWM recovery so now i am practically ready to make a plunge.
UPDATE 2 : Ok as i have been a flashing freak, i just couldnt resist trying the ics , so now as on 15th august i am on ics stock rooted , but NO cwm , so plz suggest in light of this development )
here are my updated queries as on 15-08-12 after i have flashed ics rooted from sfhub.
0.. IS ICS UPDATE really that bad ? - well i guess i ll have to see that all myself
1.. which sprint apps are fine to be removed from stock ics rooted if i wanna debloat it m,yself.
2.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
does this method to install FF18 cwm agat recovery holds good ? will it save me from brocking in case i wanna wipe dada within recovery or using privacy on phone ?
3.. is it true that every recovery thats available here at epic touch forums have kernels associated within them , coz on i500 we have radio, recovery and kernels totally separate
4.. I am thinking of sticking to stock GB rooted or stock ICS rooted for a few days , are there any battery saving enhancements available respectively for GB and ICS.
or ultimately i ll have to move to a custom ICS or custom GB ?
if yes plz link me .
MY major requirement is a properly functioning phone, with hotspot active , as well as usb tethering active + better battery life ( too much is it ;P ?? )
I was using fascinate before so ODIN , TARS . CWM , nandroid and stuff arent new to me ,
but ET4G seems a bit different , thats why buggin you all with such a long list of queries.
Thanks in Advance.
btw , can anyone link me to a cheap yet okish TPU for a white ET4G.
would appreciate some help here guyz

0) Bottom line, the phone runs better on GB and you will get about half of the battery life on ics that you got on GB.
1) Download the tar of whatever rom you want and flash it with odin
2) Chris' cwm5 is the most stable, just be sure to flash the right one (tw or aosp)
3) No, sfhubs one click rooted EL29 and ff18 both come with their respective stock GB and I ics kernels
4) Start with stock ics (ff18) for at least a week so you have a baseline of how a stock version of the phone should perform. That way you can accurately judge the stability and functionality of whichever custom rom you choose.

btw with what i understood
the v3 can be flashed via a custom recovery only ( couldnt find no reference to any in there )
, can u point me to a recovery plz and can you tell me how to flash it.
the other steps that i understood are
2.. flash the
Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_E4GT.zip first , then flash the ROM
and in the last flash the Bare_Rom_Converter Zip - is that right ?
EDIT : please suggest in the light of the fact that I am now rooted and cwm recovery is installed on my phone.

i am inclined to use the acs5 version ek26 odin file , what say ?
Ok so once rooted,
Go here - Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash) and follow step by step. You want to select EL26 + CWM bootimage
Do you want calk's gb or ics rom?
You do not need the bare rom convertor because it may remove apps that you would like to keep.

You should just stay stock for a little while and lurk in the foru until you get a little more familiar with this phone and its quirks. Unlike most phones, it is possible to brick this one permanently if you mess up. Anything with an f is ics (fe13, ff18, etc). Anything with an e is gb (ek02, el13,el29, etc). As long as you are on gb, you are free to use any kernel you want. But if you decide to move back up to ics, you should use chris41g el26 repack kernel. Once on ics, you can use chris41g or agats kernel, although I have found Chris' to be less buggy.

FWIW, GB development is pretty much dead here. If you want a ROM that will be updated ics is the way to go.
