download THIS kernel and use odin to install it. this will give you the el26 stock kernel repacked with clockworkmod recovery.
choose the one named "StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5"

Need help with rom manger phone model choice

Ok heres the issue that doenst make sense?
I have my epic touch prerooted with the zedomax wpic v3 1.6oc kernel, which roots the device and installs cwm recovery.
How am i suppose to use rom manager when it wants u to choose a phone model to flash cwm recovery through rom manager when its already flashed with the tar file
i choose epic touch but has a bunch of gt 1900 phone models, then it goes to a black screen and dumps everything and i have to pull battery and restart
So is rom manager useless with this kernel

I was having some weird issue too. What I did was flash the kernel to gain root access. Afterwards I flashed CWM using Odin, since it wasn't flashing using ROM manager. I kinda lost the root after that though. So I just flashed the kernel again and I had root again with CWM.
Apparently the kernel wasn't flashing a recovery at all and ROM manager wasn't flashing CWM to my phone. It was saying it flashed, but I always had stock recovery.
So I just:
Odin and flashed kernel for root
Odin and flashed CWM
Lost root? So Odin Kernel again.
Now have CWM and root.

you have somethings confused, I think.. recovery and the kernel are one in the same.. so if the kernel has cwm you do, if it doesnt you dont... you cant flash cwm by itself, then a kernel ontop and have both..

[Q] Need Help with Recoveries

I am using AOKP build 28 (newest i have to flash) on my epic 4g touch. when i try to flash a new recovery it goes back to stock with only 4 options. when i try to use odin i soft brick it. i can get back to my aokp but i cannot the gapps to install... i also tried the cm9 rom/kernel and i am still not getting anywhere... anyone got any ideas besides going only stock?
Just to clarify, what are you trying to flash by ODIN? And are you using Mobile ODIN or ODIN OC? (One-Click)
If you haven't already you may want to try the EL26 or EL29 stock + rooted. I believe SFHub also has a ODIN TAR with CWM repack available but will trigger the triangle. (May not be an issue for you, but just to make aware.)

[Q] CM9 alpha 4 upgrade issue

I downloaded the .zip file for the upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4 off CM's website, put it on my SDCARD, booted into recovery - looks like stock recovery, (following the steps on CM website) then applied the zip -> it looks like its doing something for about 20 seconds then the little android guy dies and has a red triangle with an exclamation point coming out his stomach. What am I doing wrong?
baseband version: FE10
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD10-CL377892
You need to be using a clockwork mod recovery to flash, stock recovery will not work.
First make sure you are rooted.
Next use either Odin 1.85 or Mobile Odin to flash the EL26 kernel.
Upon reboot, go into recovery mode using volume up+power. If you miss your chance to do so, just pull the battery and try to get into recovery again.
Using CWM, flash per the install instructions.
so do i just odin the kernel back to el26 w/ CWM? the reason i dont want to do a clean install is because i wodnt want to wipe my data. If i odin to EL26 w/ CWM do i need to go back to gingerbread?? Or is there a way i can sat on ICS and upgrade?
what if i used this kernel? [NEW][KERNEL] FE16 Repack with ACS recovery

If someone tells you how to do it safely, and you choose to do it your way done come crying when you brick, because it still says don't use recovery with ics kernels...

Do exactly what he said here... You're not going back to GB or wiping data. You're just re-flashing a CWM recovery. When you originally installed CM9 alpha 3, you used a CWM recovery. But the CM9 ROM re-flashes a stock recovery (which you can not use to upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4).
So all you do is Odin the EL26 kernel/CWM recovery image (phone in Download mode), and then you reboot and hold vol+ and power to get the phone into the CWM Recovery Mode. From there, you just install the CM9 alpha4, you don't wipe data or lose anything.
thanks man, it worked.
I am new to the forums and didn't want to make a new thread. I am having issues with the GPS (Maps App.) The app loads up i enter the destination i want to go to but it wont find my location where i am at. It just keeps searching for my location...
So i went ahead and downloaded another GPS app ( tele nav.) same issue. I was wondering is there a way to fix GPS issues on this rom? I would like to fix that issue..
anyone have a solution to fixing the GPS issue on this rom???

RE-CALKED Installation question

Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815854
My Phone: FF18-AUTO Root Via ODIC-OC
The installation directions state: "Odin to EL26 stock repack with CWM". Does that mean I just use the ODIN tool and load the file into the program then execute before I install the ROM?
Thanks!

Either get mobile Odin and the el26 kernel.tar and flash it via phone. Or get the one click el29 flash the el26 kernel threw PC Odin and flash the rom threw cwm5 included in the el26 kernel. Look up qbking27 how to videos and follow them for the best results.

Okay so I download and run the ODIN-OC Auto Root to EL29 using --> 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101&highlight=el29'
Then once I have done that launch the 'ODIN3_v1.85' utility and load the file that was mentioned on the RE-CALKED page --> 'Odin to EL26 stock repack with CWM found here'
Then just use CWM to flash via SDCard?
OR do I install that file using CWM then install the format all and ROM?
You should be able to do it with el29 as long as you have cwm5 recovery. Odin el26 kernel is the preferred method by most devs. do to a lot of issues that have been worked out in the previous months. As long as you have cwm5 on a gb based rom or gb stock with root you should be fine. But I recommend that you watch some videos by qbking27 and read the op in every rom thread that you have interest in. Devs prefer certain styles of install so I'd go by that. Most of the time qbking has a video install guide in the op of the rom. Like you want calks revamped. Look up calks 1.6 and watch that video guide.

I cannot seem to find out how to install CWM recovery onto my stock rooted EL29. I went through the rooting process, but didnt install CWM. How can i install CWM onto my EL29 rooted phone. I dont want to install any custom ROMs at this time, just want to be able to to backups, etc, using CWM,
Thanks for the help!

Stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen.

Trying to update my old E4GT to KitKat (CM11) for use as an MP3 player. I believe it was on OI23 before. I tried EL26 CWM, Agat, and finally attempted installing Philz Touch before it gave up this screen. Kies cannot connect to it, even after making sure proper drivers are installed and doing the connection troubleshooter.
Am I screwed? Did I encounter the infamous "superbrick"?

You should still be able to flash stock firmware via Odin in that state. Connect it and flash, provided that the battery is charged.

Ok I've gotten ODIN to recognize it again. Now how can I get to CM11? My biggest problem is finding a recovery that will work to flash it.
Here is a stock rooted ROM for d710 with CWM included in it, flash it via Odin and you'll be restored, rooted and have CWM.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Sprint%29%20%28SPH-D710%29/Stock%20ROMs/GB/EL29/No%20Data%20Restore/Rooted
Then you'll need to flash an ICS modem or you won't be able to use Kit Kat custom ROMS(CM11), it is a .zip to be flashed in recovery the way a ROM is. Scroll to the bottom of the list and grab the last one. Flash it in recovery.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S2 (Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Modems/ICS/ZIP
Then you'll need to find a 4.3 custom ROM to flash to update the devices partition structure before flashing a 4.4+(CM11) ROM. The trick is going to be finding 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs, they are old ROMs and may not be available for download anymore. I'm trying to get the CWM that I used uploaded so you can use it, it flashed all of my 4.4 - 4.4.4 ROMs. I flashed everything with it. It's CWM 5.0.2.7 for sph-d710.

You flashed the file I linked? It is supposed to have CWM packaged with it. Go to rwilco12's android repository, at the top of the page you'll see a downloads tab. Click it then select the options on that menu until you get to Galaxy S2>Sprint SPH-D710>kernels and you'll find the Odin flashable recoveries for E4GT.

I had an AGAT GB27 v1.3 from rwilco that I flashed to get a custom recovery, just flashed the FL24 modem with it. So I have EL29 software with FL24 modem. Ready to flash something newer now.

To get to Kit Kat, you've got to flash a 4.3 ROM then flash a 4.4 ROM. I'm not sure where you'll find one or if their are any available anymore.
There is CWM 5 or CWM 6 at rwilcos repository, its probably better than Agats

I have a CWM 5.0.2.7 in zip that I'm trying to upload to my Android File Host for you but its giving me issues uploading. I'll find a place to put it so you can get it, then flash it in Agat recovery.
Flash Agat recovery again, then flash the CWM I give you in Agat, then go back to main menu and find the "reboot recovery" option somewhere, I can't remember where its at in Agat, reboot recovery will boot you into the new recovery, do not boot to system then boot to recovery, it will revert to Agat and you'll have to flash CWM again and boot to it correctly to keep it.
