no signal after switching to el13 with ANY rom/kernel

so i was in eg30 and i wanted to rom the thing, i already had the backdoor rooting without cwm or custom kernel, but with SU... anywho, i flashed stock ek02 with CWM5 form the wiki post, and then i flashed through that rogue's EL13 kernel, now after that i have tried sindicated ice, calhuin's, phantomhacker's, unnamed, phantom hackers and sindicated ice wont start and calhuin's and unnamed dont get any signal, like i have the circle with the line across no matter what...
what did i do wrong, how can i fix please thanks

Backup your data. Flash back to a known consistent software set, then perform ##786# reset.

[Q] How to flash older modems on EL26 kernel?

Hey all, I got a brand new E4GT yesterday and flashed the One-Touch w/ root EL26 package in the ROM database.
After that I used the autoroot kit to install CWM.
Everything is great, I was able to flash CM7.2, etc but I have horrible reception at work (partially the building) and really slow data speeds.
I want to flash EL13 or even EK02 radio, but every time I flash EK02 in CWM, it gets to about 98%, hangs for about 8 or 10mins, then aborts.
Is there something I've missed? Should I revert to an EK02 kernel before I do an EK02 radio?
CWM has saved an error log and I'll pull it when I get home from work to post here if that helps.
Thanks in advance.

Some people are having similar issues depending on their phone and location with modems. I would recommend trying different modems until you find the one that works best for you. Many of the modems you can flash through CWM. Here is the Wiki link for the different modems. One thing to consider is the kernal you are running too. For my phone I get better dl/ul with stock kernal on EL26. When I changed the rom it tweaked my kernal causing a lower DL/UL speed. You just need to find the right combo for you. Good luck!

Thanks. I may flash back to stock kernel, rom, and modem then work my way up from there.
So far any time I flash just a modem it hangs then fails.
Cheers.

It takes a good 2 minutes before flashing is complete on a modem.

It actually does fail, though. CWM says "installation aborted" etc and points me to a log file.

Make sure you are downloading the modem that can be installed through CWM and not an Odin zip. Also I would try installing a kernel that would match whatever modem you are trying to install first then install the modem. Here is the one that I used for EL26. I would give this kernal a shot before you give up on EL26.

I flashed back to G30, rooted, upgraded to EK02 and restored my CM nand.
So, ek02 modem and kernel ATM work fine but no difference really. I think the true problem is the building at work. Oh well.
Will probably upgrade to that el26 kernel and modem soon though.
Thanks for all the input and links, everyone.

How to re-install CWM after new ROM install

Been running Blend from Team Noc for a bit and having a lot of core crashes, as well as some issues with notifications, etc. So I installed Blend 6.0 this morning and still had problems so wanted to try something else while those issues get fixed.
I went into recovery and this is a new recov I have never seen. It simply shows the android, then the following;
Android System Recovery <3e>
I was going to wipe using Caulk's and install another ICS ROM, so went to apply update from external storage (since that was the only option that made sense). Went to the folder they were, selected the format all and it took me back to the android guy on his back with a triangle!
So I am kinda stuck with this ROM unless I can get cqm back on (I guess). There are just so many threads that are out there, some old, some new, the sg2 has 5 flavors it seems based on the carrier (I am on sprint) so from what I can tell, it's the 4G touch.
Thanks to all read/replies.

use odin, instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609255

Just use mobile odin and select the tar file w/recovery. You tried to boot into recovery without a recovery installed which is why it looked funny.

Thanks guys. I followed the 1st post (as I didn't see the 2nd) and ran the step's using a windows machine. Odin saw the device, flashed it, all green, success, and restarted.
Followed up with the quick root/CWM app and worked like a charm. I am back to square one now, did install Venum Ice RC3.1.1 which looked pretty clean, but 1st thing I noticed was anything that uses the media card doesn't work (camera for example). You hit it, returns you to the app drawer.
So, with what's out there right now, what seems to be the most stable with the basic's, (phone, data, camera, etc.)
Thanks again, was well worth the wait to do it correctly!

I've been using CM9A3 as my everyday from. Solid as a rock. I have 0 issue.

I am also on Team Noc's The Goodness Version 6 without a custom recovery, and have a similar question. In that thread they were discussing using Odin to flash a kernel with CM, and they posted two kernals one that is the FD02 (ICS) and the other is EL29 (GB). I am currently on an ICS rom that works with the newly flashed FD02 kernal. However, my question is while on ICS can I odin to the GB recovery kernal so that I can flash a different GB rom? I am nervous to try because I have heard of people bricking going from ICS to GB, but if this works it would make my life easier as a flashaholic

Use Mobile Odin to flash EL26+cwm kernel( http://db.tt/0QJkleJR ), hold volume^+power to boot into cwm wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom, flash gapps, and reboot. People brick from using a ICS recovery to go back from certain ROMs. EL26+cwm is always the safest choice to flash with.

Yes you can mobile odin the el26 repack with cwm (not the rogue one) I believe its still at the top of the Nocturnal Venum rom thread. Flash in cwm and as it boots hold down the volume and power buttons. It should boot into the blue cwm. Flash whatever you want. Or mobile odin the el26 repack cwm and as it reboots hold the same buttons down to boot into recovery and flash away. El29 doesnt have a cwm repack (its rogue and not what you need). Keep in mind that mobile odin WILL NOT flash modem so dont try it.
Edit: The post above says basically the same thing. DO NOT use el29 kernel. Just reminding you...

Thanks for the quick response! Just a clarification, I do have the el26+CWM (el29 was a typo). Lets say I want to leave ICS for another rom, and a use mobile odin to go back to el26 and accidentally boot into my ICS sandwich rom. Is there any potential risk of bricking there? Also, what is the significance of flashing a modem? I already have an EL29 modem and I am happy with the current setup, do most roms/kernals have baked in modems? And if so should I avoid them when using odin?

You can't boot into a ICS ROM on el26 it is a GB kernel. Every ROM I have used has baked in kernel but no modem. Any modem for e4gt will work with any ROM. Kernels are GB and ICS specific.
Edit:el26+cwm is juts safer to flash ICS ROMs/kernels. When you flash a ROM it will replace the kernel. Just use mobile odin to flash back to el26+cwm to flash new ROMs/modems(wiping like usuall). If changing modem just flash el26+cwm, wipe cache/dalvik, flash modem of choice, and flash ICS kernel of choice. Reboot.

Thanks for the tips that makes a lot of sense! I am gaining confidence of going between ICS & GB. Now is it the same process for roms like AOKP, MIUI, and CM7/9? I have heard they also need specific recoveries to operate correctly.

Yes, el26cwm only and they only use aosp kernels. I believe T.C.P. has them on one of his threads.

[Q] EL29 CWM NON rogue SOLVED. ROM ?

I figured out CWM, now just have to find a customizable/themable working rom because both MIUI and CM9 have too many bugs or just don't work so, trying blazer rom. Any one using Blazer and having any problems, or can give me ideas on how to quickly and easily get my theme set up for it? thanks.

Try el26 cwm. But that might not be your problem. Bad download maybe.

Use EL26 cwm from chris41g. With rogue recovery it will abort.

so use EL26 though I have 29?

So I got EL26 and CWM is working right but after it installs MIUI, it just stays on the first loading page with the bunny, no matter what I do in CWM I can't get MIUI to actually load. Help?

Both noobnl's EL29 and the other stock EL26 should work if they are not Rogue. If they don't, you must have a bad flash. Make sure to check if the md5 sums match up because it seems like your ROM is incomplete or missing something.

Can't install ICS from Rogue EL29?

Hi all,
I just got a replacement E4GT from Sprint, I had planned on staying stock but after the hardware issues of my first iteration of this device and the somewhat lackluster update, I decided to take control and root/flash.
I used to do this on the EVO but it's been a while.
so I followed QBKing77's videos to the best of my ability. I have Rogue Recovery installed (pretty sure it's the latest, I downloaded from the official thread and ran the exe to install less than an hour ago). It's doing NAND backup and recovery just fine, so I assume Rogue is working but I can't install AOKP or MIUI.
From the video, it seems like I use the zipped file on the phone's memory, do I need to unzip first?
Can I flash directly from a EL29 Rogue to an AOSP ICS ROM?

Use Chris 41g's EL26 CWM kernel for initial AOSP flashes. Though if your stock now are you not on FF18 ICS yet?

El26 rogue for flashing.

No, No rogue for AOSP. Custom CWM bricks. Rogue was the popular one at the time, pretty sure there was another one that was not working as well.
EL26 with bone stock CWM.

RainMotorsports: I am on EL29, I've had the replacement for 3 days and it has not updated. I could follow the manual update but I hear most people like to flash from GB ROMs because they're stable?
also, I'm sorry, I don't understand flashing kernels. Don't we have to flash an ICS rom before we flash a kernel? And I thought the AOSP kernel was stock with Milestone 6?
rovar: So should I Odin back to EL26, re-root and install a recovery? Does that have a better recovery?
I'm wondering if I should just unzip the files and try again...

You can flash the EL26 cwm kernel on to the phone as is. If its rooted sfhubs auto root tool can do it for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728. If its not rooted you can flash the tar for it in odin. http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/
As far as FF18 goes the leak was the OTA you can NoData one click for an OTA like experience where things are not perfect or wipe the phone with full data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
I can approach the rom/kernel question from 100 angles. But you need a kernel with the proper recovery to flash the rom, when you flash the rom the kernel is overwritten with the kernel in that rom. To get another kernel you once again have to flash a kernel. I do not keep up with AOKP. CM9 since alpha 6 has a safe cwm5 based recovery and it + the nightlies use a repacked stock kernel. Chris 41g is testing some from source kernels for both, the AOKP one requires his version of milestone 6 and thats my extent of knowledge on the state of AOKP kernels.
AOSP roms flashed with EK02 through EL29 rogue brick. Chris41gs EL26 CWM has been the tried and true kernel. You could flash the kernel of a TW or AOSP rom, the phone will not boot until a matching rom is installed but we did the reverse (EL26 kernel while the rom was still ICS) all the time.

Thank you. I found a video that showed how to get stock EL26 CWM Kernel installed via Mobile Odin. I am trying to make a second backup because I'm not sure the Rogue Nandroid is compatible but it's having trouble making a backup from here. It seems that it's only recognizing 200mb of free space and I know there's a lot more.
It seems that the EL29 Rogue backup I made won't restore to the EL26 kernel/EL29Rom I'm now running. I'm going to delete the old backup and try to make a new one.
Anyway, sounds like I'm pretty close!

And I'm now running AOKP. Thanks so much! You guys were fast and helped a ton!

Nice. I bet the addiction is already setting in. I just went from CM9 Nightly 7-22 to an early 4.1.1 AOSP build back to TCP's 7-28 CM9 which i had no clue what to expect from but I am on it now. Must must must flash them all!
Edit - I just flashed FF18 forgot I wanted to PRL update and fix my boot image while I was at it.
