Thank you sir, we've been needing this for a while now...
are these modems in chronological order? their naming convention is very confusing, whats the latest one?

1) EG30
2) EG31
3) EK02
4) EL13
G=July
K=November
L=December
The EG30 is what came stock
The EG31 is what was sent to sprint techs
The EK02 is what sprint just pushed out as OTA update
The EL13 is a leak with CIQ removed, Samsung authentic, just not sprint official (yet).
Pretty sure that's correct. Someone correct me if I'm off.

you can flash the el29 modem, that is the newest. Different modems sometimes work different for different areas/phones. I always just run the newest, but you can play around with them and find your favorite

Almost caught up with everything new popping up. If you've got something out there that you don't see on the wiki and you'd like to see it up, I either just haven't had time or I've missed it. So post it here and I'll make sure to add it
I've actually subscribed to this thread now, so I'll be able to catch posts quicker.
Ahhhhhhh! looks like you already started what I had started. I was talking to sfhub because the modem database was a mess and of course out of date.
I will use what you have already done to finish what I was doing. I was going to ask you about the thread links and you already removed them. While I wasn't going to go that far I was about to say no offense to qbking77 (I gave him a mirror to help with this) but the thread is also a mess with broken links. Wasn't sure if you wanted to continue pointing to the same thread for everything when the source for the modems are all available from sfhub with maybe a couple exceptions.
Links are still broken for some of the top posts. sfhub has 2 mirrors and cwm and odin files for ALL of the modems except EG12 and EG31. So it was my intention to set it up to have 2 mirrors on each one, 2 lines for each (one cwm one odin) rather than having a line for every mirror like it was for a couple. Unfortunately I wont be able to replace the one one click modem that id10t made since his upload is dead and the EG12 that still exists in someones drop box appears to not be correct so ill leave that link alone for the moment.
Seeing as how you went good and clean with one line for each modem, I could do the same still with the mirrors but it changes things a little. Starting with your table now. I will be around to help with this from now on.
Alright I merged what I was doing with the recent table change. I feel like the links are too close together I did what I could. I too felt having lines for each mirror and each format were not going to work for the amount of modems we have now. But I almost feel like format lines might have "almost" looked cleaner.
Hope you don't mind the addition. I was just figuring (and based on how the table was a couple days ago) since we had a consistent mirror setup for all the modems and one server being able to go down at any given time it was a good idea.

I would agree it was getting a bit messy so I tried to clean it up. I love where you took it though, much better. Thanks for contributing, as that's what it is, coming together to make it better for everyone. I appreciate, as well as I'm sure others do as well, the time you spent on that. Thanks.

sorry for bumping this topic. im looking for a good modem to work with my aokp milestone 6 rom.
I am very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMS. Haven't flashed any kernels yet (confused about that). I flashed a couple of Calkulin's ROMs on my Epic 4G Touch and the notifications are being troublesome. I know that E4GT v1.0 is not stable. Is there ANY other ROM that is perfectly stable and offers wifi tethering (ICS ROM preferred).
Thanks a bunch!
This question was so important you had to ask it twice? Anyway, there is a thread like this everyday. Same answer for all.... It's user preference. Just because I like something doesn't mean you will

It'd get deleted from General section (sorry I am new), which is why I reposted it here.
I really don't care about the cosmetics. The only thing I want is all the features working properly, and have wifi tethering and good battery life. Any ROMs that do these?
Thanks!

Well most likely your gonna wanna stay away from ICS builds as it's not official and other experience different battery life, but if you want it I suggest mijjz ICS Blend, he keeps it supported greatly. As for a GB rom I suggest either calkulins e4gt rom or blazer rom 4.0 (themed like ics). Both are extremely stable, and calkulins rom includes a battery saver script for great batter life.

If you want ALL features working, you will need to go with a stock rom, and it wont be ICS cause there isnt an official release (notifications issue is an ICS issue, not the custom rom's).
If you want wifi tethering, stock wont work for you. So I would recommend you look at the gingerbread roms. Caulkin's el29 is a good one. Not sure it has tethering though.
There are apps you can buy that will get you tethering, so maybe stock gingerbread + a paid app will meet your needs.
Hope that helps.

I read:
"very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMS"
and
"Haven't flashed any kernels yet (confused about that)"
And think "You should Not Be Flashing ANYthing ICS based, at All!"
You could be headed straight to hardbrickland, one way ticket.
Like mentioned in the two previous posts, I would stay away from anything ICS based right now, not only because they have a few issues, at best, but mostly because of the bricks people are getting when playing around with them while not readoing direction Very Carefully and not being familiar with flashing techniques on this phone. If you are going to play with them, be Very Familiar with ODIN and sfhubs OCs, Know Your Kernals, Read Every Damn Thing about the restore process, watch all of QBKing's videos on flashing/restoring re: the ICS stuff, read the sticky thread in general "How To Not Brick our E4GT"...
Like many people have mentioned throughout the threads recent, ICS is nice, but it being unstable many people, even experienced flashoholics, are returning to GB (read as: EL29 stock restore by sfhub) for stability until an official release.

It's like asking "what is the best beer?"
Look at the thread rating, read the comments for bugs and flash several till you find one that meets your needs.
But man... you better do a lot of reading first and you would see how these threads are frowned upon.
Hello, everyone!
I'm getting my ET4G tomorrow. I have been reading up so I can be familiar with the device.
I've had an Epic 4g and I loved the development for it. Since then I have had Evo 4g, Evo 3D, and the photon. The development in all of them weren't as fluid as my good ol' Samsung.
So I'm back for round two with the ET.
I am trying to get familiar with everything, so if you could point me towards important/interesting threads, that would be great.
I mostly want to know what is going on with ICS
There are so many ICS roms that I'm lost (Photon only has 1 CM9 port)
Is there anywhere that I can read the difference between the leaks and the cm9 port, which are best, the bugs.
So yeah, looking forward to some good reading suggestions, I will keep browsing.
Just wanted to say hi, I recognize you from some of the many xda communities I have been apart of. Looking forward to some of the roms from the developers I knew and loved lol.
Thank you for reading, and post or send me a PM if you'd like.
Fortunately for you everything works like it did on the Epic with Odin, etc. If you choose to flash any of the ICS leak ROMs please read up because the recovery isn't 100% yet and you can brick if you don't take the safe route. Just remember that Odin is your best friend like it was on the Epic but even that can't rescue you if you get the data partition error from ICS recoveries. Feel free to PM me with any questions you have

I used to have that issue on my epic. But it was always fixable (usually it was because I used the samsung usb) until one day when it just went black and never came back lol
MIJJz's "the goodness" rom is amazing. Just be careful of the recovery issue using ICS rom's. I had to download mobile odin today just to be safe.

One big difference I have noticed is that modems are flashable from recovery. Once you are up and running on ICS you can easily switch between modems and kernels. The dicey part is going from ICS back to GB or going from one ICS ROM to another. The only guaranteed safe route is to Odin or sfhub one click back to Gingerbread and go from there. All of the Gingerbread ROMs are totally dialed in. You may have more of an adventure finding the right ICS ROM right now because everything is so new

Welcome to a great phone, and a smallish, but quickly growing, tightknit community here! We have a set of Great devs, and (mostly) mature, helpful members, and all very excited about where things are headed for this device.
You've already been answered by one of our most active members, super helpful guy, very knowledgeable.
I would get to know a few threads here, since you are likely somewhat familiar with ODIN, and obviously flashing concepts in general.
If you are feeling the ICS bug, read up on recoveries, and JC mentioned, it can be a dicey risk, if done improperly, you can get a permhardbirck: How Not To Brick Your E4GT
Where to keep up on ICS leaks, Samgung ICS testing, etc: ICS for Epic Touch!!! Now on FC24. Sadly, there is no actual "change log", but if you took the time to read that whole mess, you'll get it. And if you search throught the dev sect, you see all the leaks, repackaged by Calk and sfhub, and if you read them through, you can get an idea of current bugs/issues. Although, you'll quickly see that while some bugs seem to be consistent for all, YMMV.
I would highly recommend that you think about upgrading your modem, regardless of what you do with ROM flashing. The LoS issue that was a problem with this phone on release has been fixed, but the newer modems have Great improvements with GPS/aGPS. (for ... most people? for many it's night and day...)
Further, check out qbkings videos, everything you need to know, about everything. ;-)
Good luck!.
Make sfhub and qbking77 ur best friend lol
What he said. Follow qbking77's YouTube how-to videos and you're pretty much guaranteed to never brick your device (I'm certain he's done a review/how-to-install for most, if not all ROMs for this device).
Welcome aboard the crazy train, you're really gonna enjoy the ride.
Congrats on the new phone!
I third the suggestion of getting to know sfhub and qbking as well as Calkulin, Steady Hawkin, agat and others you'll pick up on along the way.
I would suggest staying away from anything ICS until you get more familiar with your E4GT.
well I loved ice on the photon except for not having 4g, and it looks like it is much further along here, I will probably be running pics by the weekend lol, thanks for all the guidance
Don't worry if you have half a clue how to follow directions/flash then you will be ok.
Had a Photon for like a week when it came out. Loved it, but the development for it seemed like it was going NO WHERE lol. This phone is MUCH different.
Is FD02 still the latest repack option that we have, or have I missed one?
I try to keep a check on sfhub's handy autoroot tool to see if there are any updates but wanted to make sure there hasn't been a development since his last update.
We may have lost Steady to the Gnex and there being no reason to do one other than to be up to date with a decent build such as FD26.... we havent seemed to convince anyone to do one quite yet?

Thanks for the reply. I know I've seen a few names bandied about in reference to picking up the repack reins but hadn't found anything confirmed.
I should add I'm one of those anal retentive types who likes having everything in sync (baseband and kernel) regardless if it matters or not. I Odin stock kernels onto custom ROMs then lose access to cwm, so when I want to flash something new I have to autoroot back to a cwm repacked kernel. It's a vicious cycle I put myself through. lol
If there was someone to mentor me I am willing to pick up the job since I am staying on this phone for 2 years. Stalking sfhub i picked up 2 very good threads on kernel development for this phone. But without a little help its something ill get to eventually instead of right this moment.

I wonder if you could PM SteadyHawkin, Shabbypenguin, or chris41g. I'm not 100% certain about the latter but I think all those people have worked in the kernel repack field.
I wish I had the time and technical knowledge to take up the project. You would have my full support and thanks

Hello friends,
Just upgraded from the evo 4g through Craigslist & going to get the Evo LTE for my often travels to Texas.
I have done a few hours of reading and one thing I can't grasp is what is the dominate rom for our S2s?
I only really want root for backup & wifi hotspot. I would prefer to make sure I have no issues with gps or Bluetooth as well.
[*]What is the most stable setup?
[*]Most curated or updated lovingly?
[*]Any big drawbacks to your suggestion?
I appreciate the knowledge!
@IdeaJason
Gingerbread or ICS?
This should be posted in Q/A, but, that's irreleavnt...
In my opinion, the most stable ROMs are the stock Samsung builds. Stable is the key word. It (the EL29 Gingerbread ROM) is the most widely-available build, installed on thousands of active devices. If there were problems with it, we'd know/the problems would be out there. This is the "official" ROM for the phone.
There are a lot of ROMs for you to play with. Personally, I love all of Calkulin's ROMs, all extremely speedy and robust. Stable as well.
I currently have the FE07 ICS ROM, but that's because I'm an Android nerd. It has it's bugs, but it's an official Samsung leak.
All in all, just play it safe. Obviously, things like CM9 or Codename Android are still in Alpha builds, so they are not what you're looking for.
Sfhub uploads the One-Click ROM/Modem/Kernel install files - these kick ass. He has them for all builds.
Sorry if this post was a little vague, I'm in a hurry to work.
There's no such thing as a dominant rom for any popular device here on xda, because there are so many awesome developers making stuff for it. Also, development now is strong enough that bluetooth and gps are working on pretty much any rom unless otherwise stated. General rule of thumb to finding popular/updated roms is to look at when the thread for the rom was started, how many views/replies has been made in the thread, and when the rom was last updated. After that, you can determine for yourself.
I agree there is no dominiate rom. Each rom has its selling points. All in All all roms we have are awesome. This kind of thread will only lead to flaming so lets not open that can of worms.

Thanks all for your replies.
I'm not looking to start a flame war at all, just trying to save myself a ton of tinker time before going on a trip.
I have everything rooted from my Viewsonic Gtab to my old EVO and they both had bugs that affected my performance on the road.
I want stable but I also want root backup & hotspot. So I know I can't use the Samsung stuff. I would prefer ICS if it is stable but ginger is fine if it the only option.
I'm just looking for opinions. Even ones that are unpopular if they are worthy.
(Sucks changing phones. I invested so much time learning to root & all the different roms that when you change its like going to a new OS.)
Thanks again all who have & will post.

I have told several people the same thing and like I said I have tried everything, but blazer has all the functionality and no quirks and great battery life that you are looking for. IMO, just from my experience stay away from ICS until source code is released. I am not for sure but it seems like all the devs are just trying to make the most out of a good situation with the leaks right now but once they get something solid they will be able to make ICS just as good as their gingerbread roms. Shout out to all the devs for all your hard work I envy your skill. Thank you
