Remember before we flashed the kernel fix that had a script that would remove root everytime we rebooted? Why couldn't we get a copy of that old kernel and just remove root and CWM recovery and then update (Rather than having to Odin back to EC05, then update to EI22 then update to EL30)? Is this a dumb question?

No, it is not a dumb question. But since we never got an Odin tar of EI22, not as easy. I am sure one of the DEVs have the pulled kernel, but since you would be using Odin extensively anyway to change kernels, then again to reroot I don't think it would save you much time. I would wait for a custom ROM with all the fixings and flash the new modem in the meantime. I have the flashable here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457981
What is the advantage of just flashing the EL30 modem?
Let's say I go back to EC05 and update.zip to EI22 and plan to update.zip to EL30. Do I need to flash the GB Kernel.tar in Odin for the keyboard fix and the GPS Fix.zip after the EL30 update?
I'm assuming I would put CWM3.1.1 recovery (is there a newer one?) and su.zip on for rooting after the EL30 has been updated.
Have I said anything wrong? Do we still need the kernel and GPS fixes for EL30?
People on custom ROMs would prefer to just flash the modem to try it out. Most if not more fixes are already in our custom ROMs so there is no need to get the stock fixes and tolerate stock.

Keyboard fix is in stock already. You would need the gps fix. And yes there is an official CWM 5.0.2.7. ROM Manager even supports the Epic with it now. The rest sounds right.

Kenny, thanks for the prompt replies. One last question though, the keyboard fix was the kernel that also removed the script that prevented your custom recovery from sticking. I assume we would now have to manually delete that script?

This is basically a maintenance update so yes you would have to do everything you did in EI22. Since we don't have an EL30 kernel yet you would need to do that.

Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Deodexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

This does not contain a kernel. This is a stock file system that is rooted with busybox. I have tested on the root kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel. I have not tested on the Zedomax kernel.

My phone is not rooted. If I flash this I will be rooted with the Kernel that was on the phone out of box? Also if I then flash Clock work recovery will it change the Kernel to the one others are claiming LOS on?

That is correct. It will be just like flashing with the stock kernel which I have done. If you flash CWM it will change the kernel. Whether or not you get the LOS is up in the air. I have been using it for days and haven't had it yet.
Just so I have this straight, this is a stock rom, no kernel, deoxed so once installed I can flash a theme over it.
I flashed buddies kernel with cwm rooted and flashed back to the stock kernel is there anything I need to do with my kernel or can I just flash this rom?

Ok...so the only way to have CWM is to change the kernel? I guess rom manager doesn't work for flashing CWM? Sorry if its a stupid question but I have been all over these threads for a week trying to decide which way to root and which way is better.

thanks bro.. One more question does this wipe internal sd card?
This does not have the kernel. I left it out for people to make their own decision on what kernel to use. Once we get a completely stock kernel with stock CWM I will update it. But for now it is just the system partion.
Is there a way to replace CWM with the stock recovery?
Also, is there a way to unroot?
I am currently on EC05 rooted with CWM purple but I'd like to unroot and remove CWM without having to reflash and spend hours reinstalling all my stuff.
Yes. I can't gve an exact guide right now, but you should delete superuser.apk and /system/xbin/su or /system/bin/su. Then find the stock recovery

I'd like to use the OTA GB whenever it arrives. I'm on stock EC05 except for root and CWM, so I think reflashing stock recovery should allow the OTA without losing my setup.

Like the above poster, all I have is a rooted stock EC03 (with no system apps removed whatsoever), and all I want is to update to EI22, either OTA or from the Google download, without losing my data. Does anyone know of another way to restore stock recovery to help make this possible?
Thanks much!
I wish I could do the same since I'm on stock rom + root. But since I'm already getting the OTA gingerbread prompt, I'm going to go ahead and try to ODIN to EC05 then upgrade to Gingerbread then root again.

You should never flash themes, mods, roms etc that are built on different OS versions. It might appear to work but there are changes in the versions so you are basically trying to mix pieces of 2.3.4 with 2.3.6 which is a bad idea.

If you flashed the unrooted stock FB27 tar before Calkulin's CWM zip, then you can use these instructions to root it.
Another reason why you may want to flash the unrooted stock FB27 via Odin instead of Calkulin's is because it preserves your current data!
To get root:
Follow instructions 1 through 3 from here:

After performing step 3, shut your phone off by pulling the battery out.

Have to use Odin to flash either TWRP or CWM. Make sure auto-reboot is unchecked. After successful flash, pull the battery. Replace battery and 3-finger boot (Camera+VolDwn+Pwr) into recovery and flash whatever rom you want. If you're just trying to root and keep everything the same, then you'll need to flash both SuperSU and a BML FC09 kernel to retain root. Otherwise the stock kernel will rewrite stock recovery upon reboot.
If you want to just be rooted, then flash the stock deodexed or odexed-rooted version of FC09.
This information is readily available if searched in these forums. The guides are a bit outdated.

We say flash the fixed stock kernel or a 3rd party kernel because the stock FC09 kernel has a line of code that checks the recovery partition for stock recovery. If there is a mismatch, then the stock recovery is flashed silently during the boot sequence.
Andy, are you sure you weren't on the fixed stock kernel when you experienced that? Or that you weren't on the recompiled FC09 on here?
