couldnt find a thread for this question although ive seen it before so sorry for re-post?
my phones been turning off randomly and i dont know why. im running fd05w/root and thats it. i do have a battery saver but i dont think thats the issue.
i wanna take it into sprint but want to make sure iam completely "clean" with my firmware etc..
soo how how/what is latest version of stock for e4gt? and how to get rid of the odin count..mines at like 3 or 4
EL29 is the latest stock. There is the triangle away app that works on ICS. USB Jig on an old bootloader is the normal way.
But random rebooting can happen with the leaks especially roms installed without full wiping. Had one the other day but it was regular on some of the roms i didn't install the way i should have.
If you had a USB jig the easiest way to do it is use sfhubs ODIN one click go back to EK02. Use the USB jig and then OTA update to EL29 which will leave you on a stock unrooted EL29. Factory reset for good measure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634
Might be the long way of doing it but it would be very proper.
You can oneclick odin to a stock rooted EL29 and i believe use the autorooter to unroot but id play with EL29 before returning your phone. If there is nothing wrong with your phone you run the risk of getting a refurb thats worse than what you have. They're all refurbs.

I wouldn't deal with it if its bad. Id flash EL29 rooted from one click and make sure my phone was fine for a day or so and then probably flash back to FD05 see how it is. The worst reboot problems I ever had was when i upgraded from Calks 1.3 to 1.3a using ICS CWM like i shouldnt have been. A clean reflash fixed it for me but other people said they had issues. I have only noticed one reboot on FD05 so far i was in the middle of doing something. But other situations it was every hour or once a day.
If you need something to backup contacts, messages and call logs superbackup works great.

The ONLY way you should go back from ICS to GB is through ODIN. So EL29 One Click and then howver you wish to get CWM but sfhubs auto rooter will do it for you. If you prefer to go back to calk's 3.0 you can then flash it from cwm and be back where you were.
But if you flashed from Calk's 3.0 to FD05 without erasing data just so you know thats a potential problem for alot of things. Old settings aren't great. Always format all if flashing an ics rom or use the data erasing odin's if going that way.
back to gb
I have ics blend xplod mini currently flashed,so the only safe way to go back to a el 29 gb is to directly Odin back to it?
Using calk format all then flashing a gb rom is setting myself up to fail?

Off the top of my head i cant remember if its garunteed fail but pretty sure it is.
Youve already been warned by steady to NOT flash any rom with ICS recovery repacks. Despite many of us having success others have ended up with permanent bricks. Im not at home to look for you but best i remember ics to gb is odin safe cwm fail.
Yes the safest way is to Odin one click touch back to EL29. then wipe all cashes. Don't cwm back to el29. It might work. But it might brick.
Search triangle away apk. It reset my flash count and removed yellow triangle at start up.

There is a known issue with several of the FC and FD sites leaks in relation to 4G. Nobody has quite figured out the reason for it but 4G is the cause. Try running without 4G or on an older version of Android to see if the resets are software related our hardware. Maybe save yourself the trip and extra work.
Goods luck either way!

To go back to GB just flash the EL26 kernel with CWM through Odin. When rebooting hold power + volume up until it boots into recovery and flash from there.

FYI - OP on the CM9 page for the rom the very first post has it notated that for the CM9 install guide which is the link that has been posted above. I commend you on being careful but just so you know this forum has more than enough info in it to ensure you do everything correct and minimize your chances of bricking..

I've heard to odin just the el26 kernel + cwm and also the whole el26 rom before flashing ICS, more specifically the AOsP variations so which is it? Or which is safer? It would kind of make sense to Odin the whole rom to restore a gb nandroid. There's just so many conflicting methods its cornfuzzling

No not really conflicting if you look at them slowly. Its basically get back to a GB kernel at the end of the day. They say to odin it since you do not want to or have any other way to get a GB kernel on your phone if you are on ICS. Now you could flash from ICS but that is what people are trying to avoid since it could cause a brick.
Basically: When on ICS
1. Odin a GB CWM recovery(now others have used EL29 and Rogue recoveries as well) I personally use a stock CWM recovery from CM7 and Miui
2. From there you can wipe and flash and do nandroids as normal.
Option: Safest bet
1. One Click Odin your choice of any of the GB stock roms by sfhub
I have used both methods so far with no problems. I had CM9 on my phone then used odin to go back to the recovery used with CM7 and then I nandroid back my UnNamed Rom. I did this a few times without issue. I have never heard of any issues with anyone using any of the above two methods I mentioned. If someone has please inform us

I was more confused about whether to Odin(mobileodin) just the kernel + cwm or the entire rom, all the install instructions say Odin kernel with cwm(usually el26) which is what I'm using for ics, I use rogue gunslinger for GB, but then I've seen ppl say to Odin the entire rom before restoring/upgrading/changing roms so i was like
Wtf which is it do I Odin the kernel or the whole rom when i upgrade :-| I've been trying to figure that out for a cpl days b4 I upgrade my AOKP to build 31, cuz I really don't want a paperweight

I've searched around and I don't know how to just odin a kernel, so I use sfhubs one-click back to el26 then I use autoroot to install el26 +cwm.
I would like to just odin a kernel and flash from there, but i am unsure of the procedure, do you do this:
phone to download mode and connect to odin, use PDA slot and browse to kernel, hit start or GO or whatever it is, then when it starts to reboot, pwr+vlm up to get into recovery, then get my flash on from there?
I use mobile Odin for the kernel alone but I believe in PC Odin you can just select PDA and choose the kernel. Tar and flash it that way then when it starts to reboot either catch the volume up + power on the splash screen or do like I do and snatch the battery real quick and the boot to recovery, everytime I try to hit it while its rebooting Im too slow

I havent used mobile odin, but I hear nothing but good things, so I think I am gonna grab it and try it out. That way I wont need to be at a PC to get my flash on.
With mobile odin, do I keep the kernel on my sdcard, same place I put roms and such? And when using mobile odin, if the file is *.tar.md5, do I remove the .md5 from the file name first? Do I use the flash firmware option?
I've done this at least 25 times recently; so easy, I'll post instructions here again.
1. get Mobile Odin(time saver to the max)
2. Get EL26 kernel (TAR version)
3. flash EL26 kernel in Mobile Odin (takes 10 seconds)
4. Boot into recovery(you will have the proper one now!)
5. Flash away
if you do this either coming from A GB rom to ICS, or going back to one, Guaranteed success...
Simple as can be; not sure why this keeps getting asked.....
The kernel is 8.1 mb, which exceeds the attachment size, so I can't post it here, but its all over this forum..

Yea u can keep em in a folder on internal SD that's what I do and just open the location it will find all tar files in that location then just select and follow directions, mOdin works really good its quick and no flash counter in crease or yellow triangle. Its alot easier to flash ics than having to go to the PC cuz u can just Odin el26+cwm kernel boot to recovery and get ur flash on without all the hassle of drivers and connecting a USB etc

My question was for when going back to gb from ics if I needed to Odin the whole rom, I had seen both kernel+cwm only and whole rom and just wanted to make sure if I just flashed the kernel only I'd be OK more for clarification than an actual how to for me since I know how to Odin both, just wanted to make sure I was odining the right things b4 I jumped and landed on a brick after I had seen someone say to Odin the whole rom I wanted to be sure I was doing it right since I had seen both ways mentioned. Its a little more confusing than my damn evo where I'm always on the same recovery no matter what, and a bit scary with the bricks flying around like a construction site filled with monkeys on meth

Quick question.. I can flash EL26 kernel again in mobile odin and should be able to restore my Blazer backup without any issues, correct? Blazer was backed up using Rogue EL29 kernel. Thanks!
Plus there's 5 android devices in my house all with different flashing methods it gets confusing keeping em all straight, got the evo4g, et4g, kindle fire, MoPho, and a gNote the et4g is the first Sammy I've used with Odin, my first android was an intercrap I mean intercept and it used the patched swupdater instead of Odin, so I'm still getting the hang of this method. I can flash the evo, kindle, intercept and photon blindfolded and drunker than a slut on prom night

I have been reading a few posts, and have been having a TON of problems with ICS, so I am going to go back to Gingerbread MIUI. Can someone please verify how I should do that?
I know I have to Odin el26 with CWM, but can I then just flash another ROM or do I have to do a full wipe (restore to stock via Odin) and then work my way from there?
Thank you in advance.

This works, as does the other methods I have read on here up until this point. This is personally how I do it. I odin EL26 CWM (no reboot option) then I yank the battery and turn back on going into CWM before phone boots. Once there, wipe everything and then restore nandroid backup. I have done this several times coming back to GB off of several ICS ROMS including MIUI4.
BTW, this will result yellow triangle from just using ODIN for the CWM file. I have a jig, so don't care. That triangleaway program might work also, but I haven't used it. If you don't care about the yellow triangle, then no matter.

Right, and no triangle problem with your choice either.
OK guys thanks for the replies. I do have a backup of a GB ROM. I am probably just going to Odin the el26 with CWM and just wipe and flash my GB ROM over again. I don't really care about the triangle, I just don't want to go through the hassel of flashing this, then Odin that to get CWM.
Or I can just do one Odin, get CWM, then flash from an ICS ROM to a GB ROM, thats probably the way I'm gonna go.

Reboots usually about 10+ times a day. During calls etc. Any way to remedy this?
Note: it doesn't restart from the very beginning it freezes, goes black then boots up the lock screen all media connects are restarted etc.
From the limited amount of research I've done the zedomax method for rooted is no longer used? (Currently I get the yellow exclamation point at reboot).
What do I need to do (in lame mans terms) to get my phone back to normal?
TIA!
Easiest way is to one click Odin. I'm not sure which your on. I'm assuming GB. So you can one click Odin to stock el29+ root. Or if you want one click Odin to FF18 or FH13 to upgrade to ICS. And if your on ICS you can use triangle away to get rid of yellow triangle on the splash screen.

If ur on the GB ROM look at the op for calks page and he has a mention and zips to flash to fix that. Scripts more or less to undervolt it

Using ZedoMax kernel is your problem from the get go. Even Zedomax would have a good laugh at that. Its an OLD OLD kernel.
EG30 and EK02 can be rooted via usb with the zerg exploit and sfhubs auto root made that easy. Easiest way with EL29 or the newer ICS firmwares as well is just to flash a prerooted one click. But you can always odin a kernel with custom recovery and flash super user.

Yeah, Zedomax is quite a flashback. I'm actually slightly impressed OP was even able to find the kernel in the first place...

There's been quite a few new epic users to the forums lately as their evo phones were replaced with this one for a replacement thru sprint. Quite a few old threads on rooting, kernels and themes have been resurrected in the last 30 days or so as a result.

Other relevent info is I am using a Mac and can't open .exe files. Is there a work around? . . . and do I need to unroot before doing this one click odin or will this just replace my old root while preserving my info?
Thanks.

Use Heimdall to flash tars then. Grab the one for FH13 if you want the latest official ICS or EL29 if you want the last GB out. Sfhubs one click threads have a second post with the tars as for FH13 dunno how Garwynn and rwilco have their stuff arranged.

I would like ICS. I haven't done any rooting/ flashing in a long time. Is there anyway you'd be able to explain so that an idiot like me could understand please?
(I looked at sfhubs page and got really confused)
You can check out QBking's videos on YouTube he has quite a few tutorials for the e4gt

Thanks, I've seen his videos. I linked to it in my previous post however he doesn't have detailed instructions for Mac users.

You have CWM recovery right?
If so copy Calks rom onto your phone, if you don't still have it there.
Download the EL29 zip file to your phone from http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com...y Kernels/GB/Rogue Recovery/Stock Repacks/ZIP.
Instll that zip from recovery and reboot back into recovery.
Install Calks Rom again.
You should be fixed now.
If you prefer to go with FH13 (ICS):
Download the AGAT_v0.5.4.zip file to your phone from http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com...y Kernels/ICS/Agats Source Built Recovery/ZIP
Copy this file to your phone http://d-h.st/Txi
Install the FH13 Rom from recovery.
Instll the AGAT_v0.5.4.zip while still in recovery.
You should be fixed on FH13 now.
If you want the Modem you can download the FH13 modem zip from here and flash it from recovery. http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/ModemSite/?dir=MODEMS/ICS/ZIP

Thanks for being my hero. Everything works (so far). And after some trial and error even the wireless tether works. Now if I could just get my iPad to link to my wifi I'd be golden...
Thanks again!

No problem. I am partial to the Sprint hotspot hack myself. In the dev section by rejulus22.

Bump.
Different issue:
1. I keep getting a FI27 Software Update reminder. I am able to clear it out of my notifications but 5-10 mins it's back again. It will interrupt whatever it is I am doing at the moment.
2. Is there a separate current radio I can download? My gps can never find my current location, rendering the turn by turn feature useless since I can't use it.
Any thoughts?
TIA

The link given earlier to download the modems contains the FI27 modem. You could flash that and it may get rid of the update reminder.

Use titanium backup freeze system updates. Then go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.

What this guy said. Didn't think about that.
I am having issues booting into CWM EL26 + EL29 Recoveries.
I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.
Any help appreciated! thanks!!

I use Mobile Odin to flash el29 direct boot kernel..and have never had an issue.. There is a lite version of mobile Odin on xda.. I would try that.. Make sure the md5's match on the kernel.. Mobile Odin will check it for you..

I can try mobile odin. I have the full version. I will give it a shot. The thing is
I had those kernals for over a year, always used them, worked fine.
Now all of a sudden they dont. I tried downloading agai , checked md5, everything appears correct.
I will post back the results.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.
Its weird how gb27 works fine... I just dont understand that. Could something be broke or misconfigured on my phone to not allow
installing el26 + el29?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

I've flashed many ROMs..from GB to JB and back the other way..lol. Never had that problem..you could try to go into recovery and flash the format all x 2.. Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery.. I don't know...might work..The format all x 2 will get ya ready for flashing GB/ICS so it might help..once on el26 you can use jb format all x 2 to get ready for the new jb ROM flash.. Just a thought...

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

Good call, @FuMMoD.. I had told him about using mobile Odin...And I figured a back to stock ICS rooted then flash the el29 would be the next thing to try..I just hadn't heard from him if the wipe zip had helped.. Good looking out.. Nice to see people trying to help..This is the best forum...in my opinion..

Just going off from where you left off man. I figured I would put my 2 cents in cause it sure can be a headache sometimes. I noticed when I'm out of luck pc Odin always saves me. I agree this community is great when it comes to helping each other.

Had a similar issue yesterday. I flashed the el29 recovery without wiping the /preload first, and it would not boot. Booted back into gb27 agat recovery via Odin, wiped the /preload, flashed el29 zip, and a successful boot. Don't know if it is the same issue, but that is my story...

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
