Flashing modem? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So after flashing a gingerbread Rom, it still looks like my modem is EC05. Do you have to flash a modem with ODIN? If not, what would be the easiest way to get to the gingerbread modem and is it worth even changing modems in the first place? I'm running legendary 2.2.

So I would have to flash back to froyo, upgrade to gingerbread, re-root my phone, and then flash a custom ROM? Is it even worth the new modem?

How can I get back down to EC05?

Hey guys. I've been using EG22 for a little bit, and I'm wanting to go back down to EC05.. Is there a flashable version for CWM 3.1.0.1 ? Thanks in advance.

You will have to Odin to get your EC05 modem back if you changed to the new one. If not, you can just wipe everything 3x and flash your EC05 ROM or nandroid backup.

Question on EK02?

So anyone that has flashed EG31 cannot flash anything from EK02 at the moment?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
yes. Just wait till the official release/leak.
You will be able to flash once we get an offiicial tar.

Kernel or ROM, yes. Modem, no
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You cannot flash the ek02 MODEM update. You can flash the kernel and ROM. The easiest way to do that at this point is flash Calk's EK02 rom over in the dev section. This will give you everything except the modem.
Just to be clear, you are not waiting for the OTA. The full OTA has been extracted and posted. You are waiting for the tar, which comes around the time of the OTA usually. The tar is given to the Sprint technicians and one of them usually leaks it here. The OTA modifies files, it doesn't install a new modem or system, it modifies the one you have. if you don't have the files it is attempting to modify, the update fails.
Think of the OTA as a windows update and think of the tar as the windows installation cd.

do any roms work on el30 or am i having a different problem??

ok so i was gonna delete this.. but im getting really confused..
i got the full el30 update
rooted
flashed the el30 kernel
and everything was working perfect
later i tried flashing thunderhawk
it finished installing pretty quick
and then i got stuck at boot up
flashed cm7 and got an "installation aborted" msg
restored a backup of thunderhawk on ei22
and it worked and i had the el30 modem
so i went to cwm and factory reseted it cuz i ddint want the whole settings of it all and my desktop and apps and stuff
then i got stuck at bootup again
i restored my backup again and its working now i have thunderhawk on the el30 modem
my question is basically do any roms work on el30??
why does my back up restore and work but when i flash a new rom it doesnt work???
Maybe bad downloads? Did you try Factory Data Reset and then immediately flash the ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
well this file has been on my sd card since I first flashed thunderhawk so it should work but it is a possibility..
Ill try again
But ei22 roms do work on el30 right??

Yeah but once you do that and install your ROM, you are completely EI22 again except for the modem. For that you can restore your backup and just flash the modem delta.

When it does just let it install. When it fails just pull the battery and boot. No more notifications (thanks Flastnoles11).

well im not sure what you mean by that do you mean the fb15 modem? or the fb15 unnoficial update? bcuz el30 is different than fb15 you can have both haha and kernel wise just go ahead and flash one its just a kernel it cant hurt anything it just wont boot ive never bricked from flashing an incompatable kernel
probably not
it sounds like you're asking about the FB15 modem, with EL30 roms and kernels.. modem has NO impact on the rom or kernel you are running.

This!!!!! You can run any modem on any Rom
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
you flash any el30 theme or kernel to an fb15 rom. just back-up everything b4 to flash and for the theme mount system b4 flashing an el30 theme.
This is what's in my mind
Flashing fb15 stock tar with the modem
(If not rooted then root it)
then can I flash any el30 rom? Cuz I know when I did it with el30, ei22 roms didn't work for some reason

Why Odin a leak stock tar just to revert by flashing an EL30 or EI22 ROM? They will delete and replace everything but the modem anyway. So your answer is yes you can but don't know why you would want to.

I had that same problem on Frankenstein's last night. No matter what I tried they wouldn't update so I ended up going back to Calk's ROM. And I really liked Frankenstein's ROM and wish I could of stayed on it longer.

You can still flash a GB kernel even though you have a ICS ROM installed. It won't boot the phone completely(it'll freeze on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen on startup). But you can still get into recovery and download modes. That's the benefit right there. You don't need to flash all that though. Which ROM do you want to be on? The part about using Odin to go to FE22 and then go to EL26 has an extra step in it. You really don't need to flash the FE22 before going to EL26.

Ya some of them have CWM or a different custom recovery. What ROM is it that you want to install? What I mean is you don't need to flash to multiple other kernels/ROMs before eventually going to whichever ROM you want.
Go to the dev section and find sfhubs fe22 Odin one click and flash your phone with that. The reason you do this is so you will be on a stock rom where you can update prl and profile. After you do this, using Odin (with only auto reboot checked in top right corner), flash the el26 cwm kernel. Boot into recovery and from here you can flash back to Frankenstein or blazer whatever you want. You will need a computer.
So...
1. Fe22 Odin one click
2. Boot into fe22 stock rom and update prl/profile
3. Odin the el26 cwm kernel
4. Flash whatever new rom you want.

Doesn't need to be fe22, but needs to be stock touchwiz or close to so you can update prl/profile and that rom will let you do so. No problem, I'm ways here to help.
