EL30 TAR file? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I just wanted to know if we will ever get an EL30, or at the very least an EI22 tar so we can Odin to EL30 instead of going to EC05 and OTA updating to EL30.

Probably not in this phones lifetime...no one knows but Toadlife made a tar you can Odin and then just flash the modem. It's in development somewhere.

Well that's better than nothing. I just thought I had read a post that said samsprint was working on getting us a tar .. and that was months ago for EI22

Yeah, they are pretty much over us. I read somewhere they were just trying to get paid membership from us. Appreciate what they did in the past but that relationship is over apparently. Also check their site. They never got an official released tar. Closest was EB13. We will need Samsung to release it.

OK so a new question why is Samsung reluctant to release the tar? Are they required to under like the open source license for android or are those not even related?

I believe Sprint has control over when the tar can be posted. Samsung did their open source obligation with the kernel source. Sprint are the ones that told Samsung no more over the wire releases after the EB13 debacle.

EI22 /w EC05 modem Tar
I have this tar I downloaded from the dev section sometime ago.
You can Odin it and then flash the EC05 -> EI22 modem.
I can put it on a hosting site if you'd like
edit: it is pre-rooted as well.

Sure that would be great

That isn't the one I have; I didn't find that when I searched either. Thanks for the assist.
Those are not pre-rooted.
as an alternative this one is pre-rooted if you're wanting to get back to BML and flash a ROM: (toadlife created this tar as well)
here is a link for the tar http://min.us/mWuL5XjVm
You'll want to update the recovery afterwards too.
get that from here

You can go here for flashable zips:

Ext4/RFS questions

Hello I'm new to the epic 4g and now that I have it rooted and ready to rom, I've read on different threads where people talk about being either "ext4" or rfs. What does this mean? I'm afraid that ill do something wrong and mess up my phone. if somebody could explain to me the difference it would be greatly appreciated thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
EXT4 and RFS are file systems. Just about every Epic rom other than Stock uses EXT4 because it's the faster file system.
Oh ok that makes sense. So then how would I go about converting to ext4? Would I need to do this before I flash a rom?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Installing clockworkmod 3.0 automatically puts you on the EXT4 file system.
Sweet. Thanks man one more question, what's up with all the ECO5, EB13 stuff and something about updating your modem?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
EC05 is the most recent update. You have to update your modem through ODIN in order to have data/ service work correctly.
Thanks for the info

You don't HAVE to use Odin to update the modem, there is a flashable zip around here somewhere also. Plus if your comming from stock you should be able to update to stock ec05 OTA (over the air) if your not already on it. To check what build/modem your already on go to settings-about phone-baseband version
I just checked and I'm on ECO5 right now

Then you're good to go.

Update is launching today!

The latest update for the Epic Touch is launching today(12/7). Some people are already getting the OTA.
The first member who gets the update please post it
Thanks
That's the best news I've heard since earlier....(facepalm)
The bummer is we already have it so until there's a .tar we will still have the modem issue

I think jmejiaa from the other thread has received the update. I have already asked him to post the update.

So if you are on a custom ROM, will the update push / prompt? Or do you have to go back to stock?
Does it matter if the custom ROM is EG30 or EK02 based?

Oh no, I don't have it. Sorry if it seemed like I did.
I'd be glad to grab the update if I am pointed towards some instructions on how to do that. My phone is not rooted it that matters.

Question: I'm rooted and on Calkulin's Rom. Should I accept OTA update when I receive it?
Does this Unroot or brick my phone?
Will I still get the update even if I did the qbking manual update? 100% stock not rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think the bottom line is, if you have anything but stock EG30 on your phone (ROM, kernel and modem) the update will download but the install will fail. I doubt it will brick your phone as the update probably does version checks before it starts the install process.
Same goes for people with the EG31 modem. You folks will have to wait for a TAR leak.

theres no proof of that eg31 was provided by a sprint tester so that would mean his phone wouldnt take the ota either? we will just have to wait and see! but you do have to be on a stock not rooted phone and currently the only way to get back to completely stocl is with the eg31 tar
So im guessing a factory restore odin of eg30 is in order.

Yea we'll just have to wait it out then and stick w/ stock kernels for now. So far i haven't gotten a single LOS since flashing it. It's def a bummer tho, I wanna go back to those fancy kernels.

Kies update and EK02?

Today got a notification for updating KIES, I updated and when tried to update my phone, it failed ofocurse, because I am already on leaked EK02 modem, but does it mean EK02 is installed on my PC and can be extracted? I am not sure if this will help the devs but just posting the pic of what I see.
I have never used kies but search around that directory and see if you can find a tar or zip file. Would probably be the same zip as the its but worth a shot.

Would Kies just have the delta also? Or because Kies is Samsung made could it possibly have the full .tar or modem.bin?

It is most likely the same update because if they issued a tar it would wipe all user data. Which I doubt they would do. But it is worth checking.

It was probably an update for the actual app Kies and not your phone...
It was a Kies update I'm pretty sure as it does get updated more often then not.

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

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.

You have to use odin to root... search for qbking videos on how to root the epic on gingerbread... or find the ec05.tar and use the one click root.... then upgrade cwm to 5.0.2.7 and flash away...

If you wanna preroot, download a stock tar and download a recovery bin for cwm then put that in the tar and boot to recovery and flash a superuser zip
