I thought there wasn't a modem yet?

There's a zip to update to the EK02 modem. You MUST be on the EG30 modem to flash it though.

....meaning if your baseband says EG12 or EG31 then you can't update the modem

Just my 2cents:
I think it would reduce the amount of "What if I'm on EG31" posts if a message was put in the OP saying something like "ONLY EG30, NOT EG31, EG12". Lots of people only read the OP, and it would probably save a lot of headaches if it was made abundantly clear from the beginning. Gotta see it from a non-readers' perspective, "EG31 is an updated EG30 therefore it works".
Otherwise, awesome vid qbking. Your other vids definitely helped me when I first got this phone.

Some of the methods posted in the OP are not only for EG30, you can have the EG31 and EG12 modems for certain videos.

Oh I should've clarified. I mean for flashing just the pulled EK02 modem.
Swype was updated so no more mixing letters like A and I with previous words...haven't noticed a whole lot yet but yes the media hub was also updated as you said.

Damn! They killed the bounce effect. I really like the bounce and I'm not fond of overscroll at all. I guess I'll have to hope for a mod.
Does the updated Swype still have the same theme?

Just updated to stock 2.3.6. Thanks for the info and videos. It really made it easy.
I am currently on stock EG30 and was planning to upgrade to stock EK02. My question is if I can root after I upgrade to EK02, maybe with either of these files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367971
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368180
Or should I just go with the pre rooted EK02? I would like to try the stock out first just to make sure everything runs fine before I go rooted. Thanks in advance!
i was rooted on a stock rom can i not be rooted at all???

Ah ok, I compared the EL29 OTA SHA1 checksums against the leaked EL29 you posted months ago and every file in the OTA matched what was leaked.
It is possible (but not probable) they changed some file that wasn't listed in the EL29 OTA. If they did something unlikely like that, then it wouldn't have been caught by the SHA1 comparison against the EL29 OTA.
I just compared every image in the leaked EL29 with the ones from this release.
Exact same set of image files and every image had matching MD5 checksums.
So now we know for sure they are exactly the same.
The only differences were the timestamps on the images, which are not really relevant as they aren't the timestamps that are being flashed, those are contained within the images themselves (and do match)

thanks sfhub good to know.. didn't realize the leak version was the final version..
As identified this is already posted.
Not sure what these numbers and letters mean....
Mine sais EL29, so i only flashed the ROM (Blazer ROM 4.0) that had all the same information as my phone displayed under "About Phone"....
This page http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=716 has a list of ROMs, a few of which i would like to use. Specifically the new ICS leaks (Hurry up SPRINT, release the ICS ALREADY!!)...
My question is... is the "EL29" "EH17" "SRF12" and all those others the firmware versions? Modem Versions? What are these? If a ROM specifies this information anywhere, will i have to upgrade or downgrade to the appropriate files (Or firmware) before flashing the ROM? I have no idea what these are or what they mean.
From what i've read and picked up, i know that some of these things will have to be done through ODIN and I think I read that some other things can be done through CWM, like flashing the ROM itself.
I just need a little more information on how flash ROMs properly concerning what needs to be done BEFORE you flash a new one
Things I already know:
1.) Must install a ROM compatible with your phone (DUH)
2.) Sometimes you gotta use ODIN (Is this only for root? Or do you use this to upgrade/downgrade modem firmware or something, too ?)
Also, what other file exensions should I be familiar with and what do they do? I just want to be able to modify my phone with no problems and a collection of links and bookmarks for me to pull it off. I'm not trying to be a programmer (yet =)
Any links specific to my questions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

WRONG SECTION
your looking for the epic touch this is the one with the keyboard.
But to answer your questions those are firmware versions that the ROM's are based on for our phone anyways.
Hahahaha. Dude typed all this crap just to find out he's in the wrong forum.

Well, we can still help...
EL29:
E = 2011
L = 12
29 = 29
So if this is a ROM, the base version was built on December 29, 2011 (apparently samsung employees worked the holidays...). If this is the modem version, guess what, the modem was built on December 29, 2011.
So to recap, the first letter is for the year, the second for the month and the last two for the day.
SRF1.2 = Syndicate ROM Frozen. This is an older ROM, based off of EC05 (March 5, 2011), and by the name, Android 2.2 (Frozen Yogurt). I don't know if there was an SRF for the Epic touch.

I already petitioned the mods and the big mods refused. That is why Jay posted the Non-Touch stickies but the problem with that is accessing with an app you don't see the stickies unless you click on that subject. Viewing from a PC also has a picture of our phone with keyboard open.

Beat me to it! Downloading now to try it out
This will break root! Make sure you use ota rootkeeper before installing this update!
Baseband is now T999UVLI1
Kernals build date is Sat Sept 1
Build number is IMM76D.T999UVALI1
good stuff thanks bro
My pleaseure! Not seeing much difference in anything, which I guess is to be expected being only 7 megs. Must just be updated kernel and modem, which is OK with me.
Were you able to flash or did you have stock recovery
Stock recovery, and yes it flashed fine for me.

Used mobile odin to flash stock recovery then the ota. Kept root that way
Or, alternatively, just download OTA rootkeeper and it will reaply root after the update.
Hey fellas any way I could grab this from you I'm on uvalh2 with h3 rsdio and would love to try this out and would super user elite root keeper work for this? This is a radio I assume?

also make sure u have the uvalh2 radio installed like i said everything has to be from uvalh2 including kernel. before installing this very small incremental update

thats after i do this huge paper in my software development class
So I noticed, in the i9505G Android development forum, that there are flashable Odin TARs for 4.2.2, and 4.3. I was really hoping there'd be a a TAR for the M919 that makes it indistinguishable from the i9505G. I'm currently running a 4.3 ROM, but it's not quite the same.
In all of the i9505G Odin threads, it says it won't work on an M919, but it doesn't say why. What exactly are we waiting for?
If I were to start a bounty, would it be worth my time, would other people contribute, and where would I do it?
Believe the partitions are different and a bootloader.

Same exact question being asked, one link has the reason as to WHY this wouldn't work. Yours is unique in the sense that you want to start a bounty, but other than that, all I did was look at page 1 and copy the threads, and then I typed "i9505g" into the magical search bar... There are more that can be found with a little bit more intensive searching, but you get the point.

I've already looked at all of those posts. All they say is you can't repartition. I did some more searching last night, and found that you can't because you need files signed by Samsung, and that program doesn't exist yet?
Still wondering where the best place to post a bounty would be. Couldn't find one of those.

Because that tar file will attempt to flash the radio and they are incompatible.
