So I was a jackass and installed EG31 on my E4GT without fully knowing the repercussions. I am back at full stock but for the modem.
Now all these updates are coming out focused on EK02 leaving those of us who did this upgrade screwed until a stock EG30 modem is found.
I do want to put back some kind or recovery so my question is:
Can I install StockACS5-EK02.tar.md5 on my E4GT with my EG31 modem.bin?

Yeah, doesn't matter if you're on EG31 modem.
It's a kernel + Recovery.

If youd like to upgrade to the ek02 modem you can download the eg30 modem.bin from qbking77s post and flah it in odin under the phone option and then grab the ek02 zip from -viperboy- post and flash it in CWM both of those can be found in the dev section (sorry for not posting links but im on my phone atm)
I've been reading xda/acs all day and I can't find plain instructions on how to root & flash an EK02 modem after you've updated your baseband to EK02. I kept reading that if you're on stock EK02 you have to flash back to stock EG30 to root & then flash to rooted deoxed EG30 to install the EG30 modem hack and then you can flash the EK02 modem. I flashed back to EG30 stock yesterday to download the OTA before I knew it changed my system to EK02 and about the EG30 modem prerequisite.
Now I'm on stock EK02 that I updated thru sprint's ota from the stock eg30 system/kernel. Can anyone help clarify or link me one good video demonstrating the entire process? I've been unable to find either, I've looked in qbking's thread for videos but was unable to find one for my situation. I want to reroot but with the EK02 modem properly installed this time so I don't have to use an app to tether.
do I:
1. flash my unrooted ek02 back to the unrooted eg30 rom
2. flash the unrooted eg30 to the rooted eg30 rom
3. flash the eg30 modem as described in the hotspot hack thread
4. flash the ek02 modem following the same instructions
5. flash the ek02 OTA update.zip
6. flash the ek02 stock rooted rom if it unroots my phone
7. successfully have wifi hotspot hack without taking 30-60 seconds to connect like it did with OpenGarden Wifi Tether on my non-modem eg30 rooted midnight rom?

Bobby O'S Epic Touch..
I was running ACS SFR 1.2 for the longest time (about a year I think), and yesterday finally decided to update to CM9. I didn't realize it wouldn't update my baseband at the same time (previous roms always did).
I do have CWM 5.0.2.7 installed, and also have successfully used the multiboot FC09 to update my profile and PRL, however, I realized my baseband in CM9 is still EG22.
Is there a way to update the baseband without having to use Odin and losing my CM9 setup? I guess it's not a huge deal to re-set up everything... but I'm a little pissed that Mybackup root wouldn't let me restore my stuff from the backup I made before updating.... so I had to re-install everything from scratch.
I did see a reference to uprgrade.zip, usable from CWM9, but it seems like you had to be on EL30 or something 1st (diff patch?).
Why not just odin the modem (not a full tar, just the modem itself)? It won't touch the rest of your setup.
Yes use odin to flash just the modem you won't touch your rom setup. Search youtube for qbking77 and find his how to video on updating modems. Takes maybe 4 min.

Ok, I was just confused because everything said I'd have to repartition if I used Odin.
Just leary because the last time I Odin'd I damn near bricked my phone...
Anyway... grabbed the FC09 modem.bin, Odin 1.85, Samsung drivers, installed everything on my work PC...
Powered down phone, plugged in... let windows auto update the drivers for the ports ... Booted into download mode (1 + power). Once the com port showed up, I put the modem.bin in the phone slot of Odin ... hit start ... about a minute later... phone rebooted and I now have FC09
Thanks!
Only very few ROMs that did a very specific check could update modems. This was done by using the delta modem provided in the update zip. So you HAD to be on EB13 modem to have the ROM update you to EC05 and that was the only situation supported. There is no way to flash a full modem.bin on the Epic without Heimdall or Odin. There are flashable deltas from EI22 to EL30 and another from EL30 to FC09 but you will need to flash them with the BML CWM temp boot from sd card.

To OP: Below is a download link for all modems from EC05 to FC09, including deltas. Each phone performs differently depending on modem version, so try them out and see which one works best for you.

Enjoy.
Is there a proper order of operations when flashing a rom, kernel and modem at the same time? if it matters im currently running FL16 rom and modem. im going back to FF18. I know to use a safe recovery. Odin on PC is not an option. Thanks in advance.

Kernel/Recovery, Modem, ROM in my opinion. You can do the first one in Mobile Odin Free to avoid any issues - one of Agat's repacks (any up to FI27 will do) - then just get a ROM & Modem.
If you're willing to pay for Mobile Odin Pro it can do a one click minus the modem. That can be done easily afterwards by doing Agat's repack in Mobile Odin and then flashing the modem.
If you're going back to ICS I recommend going back to FI27 though.
Before flashing this rom i just wanted to clarify if i had to odin el29 or if i was ok with fl24. If so can i be provided with a link for el29 as i do have mobile odin. Thank you
