Ei22 isn't the latest el30 is if wanting the latest there is an odin package in development there's no modem.bin but you can flash the ec05 modem through odin and I think there's and ec05 to el30 delta flashable if not then I know for sure there's an ec05 to ei22 and then ei22 to el30

Odin to EC05, find the update.zip file which can be found here in the utilities section... (realtics.uphero.com), flash the update.zip file in stock recovery, you will then be running ei22.
then simply do an OTA update to el30 and you will be on the official latest release.

Alright I'll provide links and instructions
If you plan on rooting you'll need the GB3.tar kernel I'll link everything at the end.
1. Obtain the kernel and the el30.tar package provided by toadlife don't forget to thank him
2. Odin in the el30 package, and then odin in the gb3.tar kernel.
3. Odin in your choice of recovery cwm5.0.2.7 is a wise choice.
4. Enjoy your rooted EL30.
EL30 Odin Package : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461337
Gb3.tar kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307980
Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
Once all this is done you can find an su.zip to flash and stay on stock el30 or flash any other rom that you would like.
If you plan on updating modems you'll need to obtain and ec05modem.tar this is here : http://db.tt/o3KIjXbA and is flashed via Odin . These two are cwm flashables, Once flashed the ec05 to ei22 modem is in order and can be found here: http://db.tt/9icy8xnd
And the ei22 el30 modem can be found here : http://db.tt/nuyqxpvD

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.

Cant update to EI22 modem using EC05 to EI22

I'm on cm7 with no mods or anything else. I tried to update my modem to ei22 by using odin to. Eco5 then flashing the eco5 to ei22 zip but keep getting a install error 7. Any help?
When you odin'ed to EC05, did you use the victory pit file? If not, it wont go back to BML and the stock EC05 wont work on MTD.

I'm having the same issue and I believe I did use the victory pit file.
Had the same issure your going to odin back to stock and download the system update. That way you get the official ei22 modem. Once done with that go ahead and flash a recovery but uncheck auto reboot and go ahead flash your cm7. I had to do this early

If by flash you mean Odin with the PIT file and repartition checked then yes. Odin EC05 stock tar, root, flash the ec05toei22 zip then flash cm7.

No only way to return to bml is to repartition and and flash the stock ec05 through odin.

Should we bounty up a [EL30]+[ROOT]+[CWM]+[ODIN]

We really need a single stock flash that pre-roots with CWM and the latest modem. Anyone know if this is being worked?... or if it ever will?
Doubt it its not hard to odin el30 and root it. Just more steps but elimnates what 2-3minutes top...
I'd do it myself but have no idea how to xD
Not sure a file dump would be sufficient
Sent From My Thugnificent SPH-D700 because its more than Magnificent
Can't happen at the moment (well the modem anways). They have not released a full tar for the modem yet... which is why we only have delta flashable modems...

It doesn't flash a modem... only a rom... the only way to get the el30 modem is to flash it in cwm... and to answer you fully, I consider it a rom... it doesn't contain a modem... odin the ec05 modem and then odin that rom... guess what, you're still on the ec05 modem... that's what I consider it...

EL30 Odin package sans modem. Should be good enough for now. You just need to Odin the EC05 modem, found here. Then flash this delta to update to EL30 modem, found here.
3 steps isn't that bad to get to current stock, given the fact we don't have that official .tar file.
You are in the wrong place. You should post this on Samsung's website. You can have this after Samsung relases a tar. All the money in the world won't get it here.

I got the impression from the OP that what he/she wants is a pre-rooted stock ODIN tar. Can that be done without the modem?

Yes without the modem, not a problem. Toadlife already gave us a stock tar without the modem. It would probably be easy for him to make a prerooted version.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of prerooted EL30 (with modem) + cwm + root. But a 2 step wouldnt be bad... if all one had to do is flash the delta right after odining the rooted EL30 with CWM.

Hit up Toadlife to throw a recovery and superuser into the tar he made then put a link to the modems thread in the OP with it.

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.

[Q] how to install CWM in FK23 rom?

Agat has a repacked kernel with custom recovery/cwm that works. Look for the thread in the dev section and FOLLOW THE INSTALL GUIDE. Oh and read through the whole thread too. I installed from the external sd card via mobile odin and had no issues what so ever

many have said to use this AGAT FI27 Kernel from source which has CWM

latest is version 0.6.8 . theres a tar and zip file use the tar for Odin. You could mobile odin as well
But you should do what you want to do in recovery and then either Odin or Flash in that recovery STOCK Kernel FK23 for best results.
