is there a way to upgrade(at this time) from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 with out odin? I already did the el30 swap that was posted using a bml cwm install when on mtd.
just curious if i had to wait, odin, or was blind and didn't see it? thanks for all the input.

Not yet for MTD. Wait for an EL30 MTD ROM. You could always move to CM7 and have 2.3.7.

Ha! I am going to break down and do this over the weekend.
Figure it was about time, given I converted my current ROM from BML to MTD for just that reason....

Your choices are only CM7, MIUI, or the new stock MTD ROM. You have to repartition using Odin to go back to other ROMs besides those.

If you want to run an ei22 based rom that is not available on mtd yet, dl the ei22 mtd build and delete /system folder on there. Then add /system folder of the ei22 based rom of your choosing and bam! Mtd
Edit: I am 90% sure this will work. If it does, let me know and I will post in general.

Is it possible for a stock rom to be made to repartition the phone to go back to BML w/o use of odin?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Hmmmm...that's a good question. It might not be possible because BML is proprietary and MTD is Open Source.

Not possible. For the reason stated above, no way of knowing how.

i think you would have to add an over-write command in the script.. cause thats part of "logic - write- instruction"
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??

If you're talking about the modem then yes they defenitely do... if you're talking the kernel then I wouldn't have a clue... never tried to mix and match a kernel and rom...

Yes... but you won't be on 2.3.6 anymore... and thunderhawk will contain the ei22 kernel also... so yes that will work...

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).

Can I go back to my back up of EL30 from CM9? The reason I ask is because CM9 is mtd and my rooted EL30 is bml. I have a back up using CWM5.

Just flash an MTD EL30 ROM and advanced restore data from your nand backup.

The EL30 ROMs have the hotspot too. If you are going to convert your backup here is the thread:

Is it worth it in your opinion. I will do research on the benifits but if someone wants to tell me the differences

Yeah, if you follow the procedure you will have your BML ROM converted to MTD, back it up as soon as you successfully boot to MTD, then you can try CM9 and restore your MTD converted ROM when you are ready.
Excuse my stupidity, but I'm just curious.
I'm about to get an et4g and id like to know if it has the filesystem type Change like on the original epic; where the official Odin Rom is bml and cm9/aokp is mtd, and how once you're on mtd you can't go back to bmp without Odin

So this means I can back up my stock rom, flash cm9, then go back and restore the stock rom, it'll boot?

No because the kernels are different. AOSP kernel and TW kernel.

For that I would read how to not brick your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
and make sure that your in a safe recovery. Agats recovery is safe for ICS restore and flashing. so to restore a back up flash the kernel in odin/mobile odin boot into Recovery then restore back up.
Our phone uses ext4 file system. Don't have to worry about bml vs mtd like the og epic. No worries though I was wondering the same thing when I made the switch a few months back
Just make sure you read up on the emmc bug before you flash any roms as that can cause hard bricks.

If you are on Stock GB then your fine its a safe recovery. Flash GB to GB or GB to ICS. ICS to ICS or ICS to GB is another matter Agat's kernel(TW) and Chris41g kernel(AOSP) are safe for ICS. ICS to GB i'd use EL26 Direct boot kernel to GB recovery and restore or flash GB rom's from. Odin or Mobile odin work.
