I currently have my epic 4gt rooted with Blazer Rom installed and OC'd to 1.6 GHz with Tegrak. So If I wanted to install Gunslinger 1.4 all I would have to do is uninstall tegrak, then download the Zip file for the kernal. use calkulins format all and then install the zip?
This won't affect my ROM, and will I be able to reinstall all my apps through Titanium Backup? I just want to verify before I screw something up myself
I don't think you need to use calks format all if you're just flashing a kernel. I'm certain it will wipe your ROM in doing so. Here's instructions per the Gunslinger thread OP:
CWM-
-Make a backup in your current recovery
-Download zip from link below
-Place zip on sdcard
-Boot into recovery and install zip
-Let the phone boot back up fully
-Update profile and PRL (optional)
-Reboot
-Sit back and bask in the Rogue glory!
Yes I saw those instructions BUt I wasn't sure if installing the kernal would delete my Rom or mess with my settings. IS it possible for maybe someone to post my question in the Gunslinger Kernal thread for more clarificcation
flashing a kernel won't delete your rom. its a separate entity. kind of like flashing different modems.
just make a nandroid back up as usual before the flash and back up your apps in titanium back up just in case anything goes wrong... but you don't need to flash calks format all. That usually used when flashing between roms

am currently on SRF 1.1 and want to get to 1.2
i read that it is compatible with CWM 3.0 but it also says that 3.1 is required....
do i need to do anything to download a neww/diff kernel? i believe i only downloaded one zip file when i went to 1.1, from stock froyo, and everything was included...
my phone/sd card is also riddled with junk so sorta like a pc, i would like to just nuke everything every once in a while and load the o/s and my apks from scratch ;-)
does this order make sense:
1- wipe/format phone storage
2- wipe/format my sd card
3- install cwm 3.1
4- flash to stock froyo
5- odin the recommended SRF 1.2 modem
6- flash the rom (believe only Standard currently exists but TW4 addon would sorta make it like Full?
7- install my apks
thanks!
ps do i need to install a kernel somewhere in between the above steps?

All you have to do is upgrade your 3.0.0.6 clockwork to 3.0.2.5 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13693020
Just flash the zip through clockwork and reboot.
Then boot back into clockwork and flash the 3.1.0.1 upgrade found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115999
Then reboot.
Then go back into clockwork and just flash 1.2 without wiping! If you have problems with 1.2, then wipe everything 3X each (data, cache, and dalvik cache) and flash.
thanks for the reply....
so, i will update CWM and flash the 2.1 rom....
few more questions pls...
what is it with the Syndicate instructions regarding flashing the modem first....i take it that is if i wasn't on 1.1 already?
also, why does it specifically say that there is no kernel.... do i need to install a different one?
finally, if i do want to wipe out the phone and sd....should i do the cwm/rom install before or after that?

You just need to be on an EC05 or newer modem.
If you're coming from SRF 1.1.1 then you probably already flashed Twilight 1.1.1. What does your build status say? If this says Twilight Hajime-whatever, then you're good, but I personally like reflashing my kernel since my phone likes it.
Why wipe your sd? You can just do 3x factory wipe, 3x data cache wipe, 3x dalvik cache wipe. If you truly wanted to Odin back to stock first, reroot, upgrade to cwm 3.1.0.1 then flash kernel then flash rom.
i never went to syndicate 1.1.1 because there wasn't a full version available when i saw it last, only standard...
looking now, i have SRF 1.1.0 / Twilight Zone 1.1.0
so after i flash v1.2 of the rom, i should download and install Twilight Zone kernel again?
not nec to wipe out the card....just thought i'd give it a 'cleaning' and reinstall the apks i needed again.....

As far as the first part, flash the 1.1.1 kernel from the 1.1.0 thread. It's attached to an old version of cwm so afterward you want to immediately flash cwm purple. You'll want the new kernel in place when the Rom flashes.
Ok, I don't know what I did wrong here. I was running a stock EC05 rom that was rooted. I upgraded my CWM 2.5 to CWM 3.1.0.1, and then flashed the 1.2 rom from CWM. It rebooted, the buttons on the bottom lit up, and the screen stays blank. So, I went back into CWM and cleared all data/caches 3x, then reflashed... still nothing. I cannot even restore my NAND backup. I can only boot to CWM3 :/ Now what???

*ugh* ok, i downloaded and updated CWM both times like you suggested to get me 3.1
i downloaded the 1.2 and rebooted into CWM and selected the zip....it looked like it worked but now i'm getting FC errors and my sd card is lagging when i try to access it (from Adao, Astro or even running apps from it)
did the 3x wipe....but i got less FC errors but now i get 'framework' something something errors...
did i hose myself? *bleh*
i tried a reflash again of 1.2 and still hitting FC errors.....
i'm looking for a link to odin back to flash froyo....then following the directions again to flash the twilight kernel and install the 1.2 again...
make sense?
probably my mistake....but now it worked.... after a couple of reboots, i started from scratch...what i did coming from syndicate 1.1.0/twilight 1.1.0:
1) updated to the two new versions of cwm
2) wiped everything 3x
3) flashed twilight kernel 1.1.1 from cwm
4) flashed syndicate rom 1.2
pretty easy, thanks for the help...running super smooth
I want to make sure I have the correct steps before I switch.
1. MyRootBackup, Titanium back up, nandroid backup
2. Copy SFR 1.1.2, Journaling on, rfs2ext4, vision kernel, and theme to zip card
3. boot to d/l mode
4. Odin EC05 modem
5. boot to cwm 3.1.0.1
6. wipe everything 3 times
Now this is where I am not sure of the chain of events I should follow.
7. Convert to ext4
8. flash kernal
9. flash rom
10. reboot to make sure all is good
11. reboot to cwm
12. flash journaling on and theme
13. reboot should be good to go?
I recently moved from midnight EE03 back to 5.3 EC05
copied ROM to sd card
i odin'd back to ec05 stock.
booted to get gps lock
one click rooted with 3.0.2.5
booted to cwm (auto ext4)
when finished flashed ec05 rom
i prefer to start @ step 1 to be sure everything is cleared and reset.
Make sure you have cwm3.1.0.1. Installed.
1)Flash the rom (the rom converts to ext 4)
2) flash a kernel (make sure the kernel supports ext4
3) boot the phone
4) reboot into recovery
5) flash the theme.
No need to odin inless you want the ec05 modem

Sweet thanks was hoping you would see this and give me a answer. Thought I saw something in OP of ACS 1.1.2 that had to be EC05. I have 3.1.0.1 already. I have tendency to over complicate things.
Again Thanks!
It has been confirmed the newer and older modems work

I started out with (I believe) this rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763 and all was good for months.
When the ICS rom leaked, I figured I'd try it, so I performed a backup in recovery mode and then flashed.
Now, Calkulin has an ICS rom and I wanted to play with that, however the leaked rom didn't have clockwork installed.
I grabbed Rom Manager, flashed CMR, and rebooted into recovery.
I had all the zips on my sdcard and went to flash the Calkulin wiper and the little droid started glowing and then fell over with a !. The log said that the signature couldn't be verified. I tried all 4 of his zips and none of them would flash.
So, I figured I'd just restore my old ROM backup... except that there is no backup/restore in recovery now. There is a restore section in the app, but it doesn't see any of my old backups.
My question is, is there a different recovery manager? Why can't I flash or restore?
you need to flash a custom ics kernel, like rouge, most ics roms should have this baked in already, however if not, you can flash it through odin via download mode, just put the rouge ics tar file in pda slot
Ok, so the leaked rom came with a stock kernel and that's bad...
Now I need to find the Odin flasher and rouge image.
Thanks
Mobile odin el26 with cwm. Rogue repacks are not safe to flash ROMs with. They can flash, but risk a brick. Use el26 and hold power+volume up to reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom and gapps. Reboot and you will be good to go.
El26 with cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

I just grabbed an ICS kernel off the wiki and it worked just fine.
No CWM with ICS roms.
afaik, none of the ICS roms have CWM bundled yet because CWM is unstable. Did you get CWM straight from ROM Manager, and it worked?
Actually, there is no bundled CWM because we don't have kernel source. EL26 was the last kernel with official CWM. DO NOT USE ROM Manager unless you want a brick.

I'm new to rooting and installing custom ROMs on my Android (I came from an iPhone and never jailbroke it), but I do have my E4GT rooted now. I just have a question about a specific ROM (Codename ICS 4.0.4): I'm on stock EL29 (rooted), not EL26. When the install instructions below say Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel, will that flash EL26, CWM, and the kernel?
"Install instructions
-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN
-When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.
-Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache
-Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps
-Reboot"

There is a EL26 + CWM repack which will do it all for you. I believe this is the one they're meaning.
When the instructions say that, they are referring to the kernel only.
Flashing the EL26 kernel with CWM is regarded as the most stable repack of clockwork mod recovery to flash ICS roms.
qbking77 did a how-to install vid for that rom specifically:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZqn-23xEA&feature=plcp
Be sure to watch that vid, sounds like QBking77 says you NEED cyanogenmod 7.2 in order to get CodeName installed

Ah, I see.
But that is for an older version of Codename I believe, and a quite a bit older version at that. Would it be the same for the updated version of 4.0.4? It doesn't really mention anything in the thread about having to previously be on another ROM before flashing this one other than the EL26 Kernel + CWM.

In that case, is that all I need to do in regards to flashing this ROM, or do I need to be on a different rom such as CM9/CM7 before flashing this one?
Nevermind, I'll probably just install the Blazer ROM since there is an updated video tutorial for that one, thanks though guys. I've thanked both of your posts for the help.
I am currently on a GB Blazer Rom (EL29). It's been a long time since I've flashed anything to it and I haven't done any ICS flashes at all. I would like to try out thr FF18 Blazer but I don't wanna screw anything up. I've been looking at the forums all day and I'm still a little confused. I also want to install the AGAT kernel since it seems to be the safest. If someone could please help me with the steps, or at least tell me if these are correct.
1. backup
2. flash EL26
3. Calkulin's Format All
4. flash Blazer
5. wipe cache???
6. flash AGAT???
Also any Modems or regular mods (like extended power) can be flashed at any time just wipe cache???
Thanx alot
Since i literally just updated to FF18 Blazer ICS... here's what i did.
1.Nandroid backup (just go to recovery and backup to SD card)
2. Calk's format all
3. Flash Blazer ICS rom
4. Flash Agats kernal
5. Fash Calks TW Launcher 5x4
6. Flash Extender Power Menu mod
Wallah!
