I tried to update my modem from the EK02 to the EL26 cuz I thought it might help my issues with the crappy service I get. It updated fine But it dOesn't seem to help and now my battery won't fully charge. So how duo I go back to the EK02? do I just flash it in Odin as I did the first time???
& my second question is.. Its there a way to theme the market? I'm really a sick of the ugly gray color... What version of the market its the newest??
Thanks guys.. I'm a movie to the Epic.. So bare with me!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!
You just flash the modem like you did before. EL26 had been great for me. You might re flash it.
I don't know the answer to the 2nd one.

You can flash the ek02 modem back. The modem has nothing to Do with charging though that's in the kernel. The newest market I think is 3.4.4. Search for themed markets there usually are.

one more question...
Thanks for the quick response guys.. Really appreciate your help..
another question for you guys..
Is the volume up + power button.. Does that take me to recovery? Is clockwork mod the same as recovery?? Or are they different? If so how do I know which one I have?

Volume up plus power is for recovery. Clockwork mod is a customer recovery that is used to.flash roms, kernels, radios and other zip files. The phone comes stock with a recovery but you can't flash custom zips through it. U need to flash clockwork to your phone by flashing a kernel packed with clockwork.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
yes volume up plus power. hold until you see cwm 5. also have you wiped your batter stats? anytime you flash any rom or kernel you should wipe stats.

Rooted successfully, flashed cwm's most recent recovery and made a backup,i go and DL miui and try to flash that and get a neverending bootloop , so i go into recovery and try to go to backup/restore and my power button wont work.. aka im trying to select the option to do my backup and it isnt responding.. but it does respond correctly when going into recovery/ download mode
I originally had this thread posted in wrong section of ssgs2,
A response i had was where i got the cwm from, i replied the market. apparently im not supposed to use the one from the market, and thats where i stand currently, any help is greatly appreciated to get this phone up and running again
Odin and flash a stock image onto it and a stock kernel, should be fine by then
That probably isn't clockwork mod- rather samsungs default recovery. In samsungs recovery, you press the home button instead. The reason cwm from the market does not work is that it is identified as a galaxy s II, and ours is an epic 4g touch, so it flashes the wrong version. Just use Odin to flash any kernel in the development section (I strongly recommend the LoSt Kernel)

Also, there is no miui for our phone. Do not be mistaken- the sgs2 and the sgs2 epic 4g touch are not the same phone.

im kind of new to this, i flashed the stock kernel.
where and how do i flash a stock image?
When i flash this rom an i try to go into recovery its not there..so when i install it from the e4gtauto it wont boot back into the rom..what do i do..in the e4gtauto what am i suppose to choose
You need to odin a recovery with it baked in. You only need to do this if you are wanting to leave MIUI. For now the kernel that comes bundled in the ROM doesn't have the recovery you want.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
CWM is not included in the rom for your protection. If you need to do any flashing you can use autoroot to flash el26cwm. When it reboots besure to hold the volume up and power keys to get into recovery as flashing the gingerbread kernel will cause your phone not to boot back into the rom since it's an ICS ROM. At the moment using any type of custom recovery in ICS is not recommended thus why the developers have taken it out due to all the bricking issues.
COOL COOL i just like to back up my roms..im on xplod mini 2.0 using rougue_ET-1.4.0-GUNSLINGER and its works an this is a ics rom...just a heads up
Please what ever you do I would avoid to do any wiping or restoring while in an ICS recovery/kernel. Please note also even the the gunslinger thread, its advised not to do any type of flashing *on ICS builds* Backing up might be ok, but nonetheless take your time and try to read as much as possible, there's numerous thread posted by others who have asked a similar question and has been answered.

you can mobile Odin el26. then reboot right into recovery.
easiest and safest way.
but you will have to reflash a kernel or rom in order to boot back up after you done in recovery.

"Be sure" when you flash el26 cwm 5.0.2.7 that just after boot, when first Samsung screen appears, start to hold power and volume up.. Otherwise you will have issues.. This is a gingerbread kernel and isn't made to run on ics, but does work as long as you follow those exact instructions.. I always just keep a copy of the el26 cwm tar on my sdcard and use mobile odin to flash it when I leave a rom.... It's fastest way to do this... Here is cwm el26 tar. Use either pc odin 1.85 or mobile odin to flash..

I have model SPH-D710.
I followed the guide here.
I had no problems whatsoever until the final reboot. Now my phone's stuck at the 2nd loading animation... the one with the android on the skateboard in the middle of the screen with the blue things coming at you.
I can boot into Odin mode. I cannot, however, boot into recovery mode.
Is there anything I can do? Did I totally screw up my phone to where I'm going to just have to buy a new one and cry about it because my dad would have killed me for voiding my warranty on "such an expensive phone?"
Try regular booting again
This happened on my og epic and my nexus s when I install cm9
Just holding the power button to tun off them holding it to turn on helps
Also it takes a while to boot up

I'm going to have to let it charge now... It died sitting on that animation for the last hour.

This is what you do
Odin to el29
Get root and recovery (just get cwm nothing fancy like rogue)
Go to recovery
Wipe everything
THen install cm9
You have have flashed from an pics recovery and that doesn't work so use el29

Don't think it was mentioned but Alpha 5 does not have recovery, this was done to prevent people from doing stupid things like factory resetting or installing roms.
The nightly builds have a safe recovery as well as themselves safe to flash on ICS recoveries if you need to head that direction next. But a replacement for Alpha 5 will be out in eventuality with all that as well.
I got it to work after I flashed back to GB and then back to alpha 5.
No idea what went wrong before, but it works now!
You probably flashed from an ics recovery

You can use the EL26 kernel on EL29 some people flash just the EL26 kernel for recovery, other people odin to EL29 and use the auto rooter to flash the EL26 CWM or EL29 Rogue kernel. Last i checked the CM9 brick from flashing with Rogue is a simple soft brick easily fixed with odin.

My friend you may have a little homework to do. Things have improved greatly for us in reference to flashing roms with certain recoveries and kernels for ICS. I for one use the nightlys for CM9 and flashing roms and wiping has been fixed.
Do yourself a favor and stroll through development and read up on the new stuff that has come about over the last couple weeks or so.
Enjoy guys and OP glad you got your phone back up and running. Next time don't panic!

Ok I know i am supposed to read the Faqs and tutorials. But after wading through pages of content I have come out more confused than going in.
Basically all I want to do is get a new ROM (Cyanogenmod?) onto my phone in order to fix my stock ICS's broken bluetooth functionality, battery drain and overall performance. I loved this phone as GB but it has become the worst pile of stinky poo since ICS came along. My baseband ver is Fl24.
Now I have no clue where to begin. What's an Odin count? Kernels, modems?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

**Not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
You're on stock unrooted right? First go to the android development for this phone go to the modems thread and find the one click FL24 rooted. Next make sure you have drivers installed on your computer and put your phone into download mode(While the phone is off power+volume down until you see the screen) and connect it to your computer. After that extract the one click and connect your phone which is now in download mode. Let it run and its should say success.
Ok now your rooted now to flashing the ROM.
Download mobile Odin from the play store(it costs but theres a free version on xda somewhere just Google it) Get the paid version if you woukd like to donate because of all of his hard work. Next download the el26 kernel(the repack with clockwork mod) and put it on the root of your SD. Finally download the version of cm9 you want and put it onto the root of your SD card.
Installing the ROM(You're almost done )
Open mobile Odin and when it asks you for the xda download just hit cancel. Now hit kernel and select the el26 kernal. Make sure you have 50% battery do all the safety precautions and then flash it. Take the battery out of your phone. Reboot to recovery(power and volume up) press volume up and volume down back to back a couple of times to make the power button work. Now wipe data, cache, and dalvick cache. Finally flash the ROM and reeboot.

I think there is also a one-click el26 with CWM floating around in the Android Development section. I've used it with success. YMMV.
Thanks for the walkthrough!
Those qbking77 videos helped alot. After 2 hours of research I have finally managed to get Wild for the Night onto my phone. Only difference is, I used the EL29 Directboot kernel. Not sure if I used the correct ver but hey it worked.

Hey guys,
I purchased this phone today, went home and immediately rooted the phone.
Everything went fine, until I tried flashing a custom recovery than the problem occurred,
I'm on a FL24 basebad with 4.0.4, and every time my phone boots 10 seconds later it restarts.
What's going on?
I rooted the phone with Odin, once rooted I installed mobile Odin and flashed a customer "Kernel / Recovery" now the phone constantly reboots.
Install the stock kernel.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well the kernel I flashed was 0.4.0, I heard that one has reboot issues so I flashed 0.3.0 and it's working great.
The only thing I can't figure out now is how to flash CWM, keeps taking me to the download screen when booting into "recovery".

To boot to recovery
Vol up plus power and hold
Once the splash screen shows, release power and continue to hold Vol up.
You will get to recovery.

How come E4GT ROMS are so large in size, back when I had an EVO and Optimus roms were about 100MB, E4GT are about 500mb?
Well sounds like the recovery was either flashed wrong or is defective for whatever reason..
Here is how to root that version by qb77king. He is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmKN2ewatk&feature=youtube_gdata_player.....
here is a video for the recovery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb63ldWtnoM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
So I'd like to help but need to know more info to go by. Did you enable USB debugging when you flashed the recovery? Anyways go ahead and go to stockroms.net. there you can find a stock ROM to flash your phone with unless its virgin or boost.
I recommend just getting stock jellybean or wild for the night cyanogen.. I know you just bought it but I can tell you its worth it ICS is horrible,Too many problems. You can actually find a jellybean ROM that is already rooted when u flash it.. Anyways download the android root toolkit from the market... This will save your phone's root

Hey Trytohoaxme. So as of right now there is no cmw for ICS. There is Agat recovery which is based off of cwm that is for either a ICS ROM or jelly bean ROM. I have cmw that is a jingerbread kernal that interfaces with CyanogenMod 10.1 which has 4.2.2 jellybean. If you flash clockworkmod it won't work with a stock rom your phone won't be able to boost up..

I'm pretty sure he's just trying to help and avoid misinformation, no need to get offended, bud... And the op stated the issue was already resolved.
He never asked about cwm specifically, just a custom recovery. On TW ICS I've used Agat's, Ruj's, and Slesh's kernels/recoveries without issue. There's really no need for EL26/CWM tar unless you want to play it safe (which i do) going from TW to AOSP or vise versa.
And yes stock TW ROMs are huge. AOSP ROMs end up around 240 megs (give or take) including Gapps.

Well when people like you give incorrect information like you are currently doing, or makes everything more complicated than it should be, again, something you are doing, I will be rude. ICS has had source for a very very long time and has had a CWM for a long time. JB does not. I have been here for a long time and there is a reason I have recognized contributor. I may be rude, but when someone else risks someone's expensive phone, sometimes it takes being rude. If you can't handle it, oh well.
The reason for my response was because the issue was solved and the stockroms.net is not a site that I trust. We have a repository for all of our stock ROMs.

You can flash any ROM for the E4GT... You are in the right forums for that.
Oh okay, I was asking because the thread title of most ROMs say "[ROM] FL24 Kuban Kernal" ETC..
