[Q] How to root EK02 on Mac?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Anyone? Please...

not sure what you are asking..
If you are rooted already, just install a rom that is EK02
If you are not rooted, just root as you normally would, then install a EK02 Rom..

Korey, I think you would Odin a kernel with recovery and flash superuser.zip.

Oh crap, my fault...forgot the Mac part. Did you try Heimdall? I have read posts that its working for others but I have never used it

I assume you can get CWM onto your phone using your Mac. If so then just follow steps 3&4 of this post
3) Use CWM to install calkulin/chris41g's [STOCK] EK02 ROM (rooted) + EK02 Kernel (CWM5 repack)
4) OPTIONAL - Flash EK02 Modem
- This only works if you currently have EG30 modem - ie don't do this if you have EG12 or EG31 modems
- You can tell what modem you have by going to menu->settings->about phone->baseband version
- Once you go to EK02, you can only go back to EG31 or EG12. You CANNOT go back to EG30
- Use CWM to flash EK02 modem from qbking77's [Modem] EK02, EG31, EG12

Do you know how to root the phone using a mac? If not heimdall does work. You need to be comfortable using terminal and it's very easy once you know what you are doing. I rooted my phone using Max's kernel v3 with CWM. It's a thread for it in the development section.

Ok, since I'm having such a good day I will help you out. Usually I would just tell you to search some more.
Step One .- Flash Stock KERNEL with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
Step Two .- Flash Unrooted Rom with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
And Last..
Step Three .- Odin Stock Recovery. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar
You should be fully STOCK now. Follow the steps and don't skip any.
Good luck.....

Flash this rom thru cwn, it restores back to stock unrooted, and installs the stock recovery.

I just flashed this since i am getting a warranty exchange and everything is back to stock unrooted. Except for the kernel, make sure you flash the stock kernal first

From what i've heard, none of these solutions will get you back T989UVKL1 true stock. Both of the above posts will put the phone back to and 'older' unrooted version of stock T989UVKID.
I guess if needing to return the phone back to T-Mobile, only assuming that's what you want, it should work, however if you purchased the phone (like me) with the upgraded firmware pre installed, and you wanted to "wipe the slate clean" and start fresh with prue pre installed updated stock - the above 2 posts won't do it.

Yes but if you go back to T989UVKID shouldn't it give you the OTA update?
That should do the trick

You should be fine, but if you tested other kernels you'll have to flash stock kernel first. Then your nandroid.

You might want to try to Odin back to a stock EL29 - sfhub is the MAN for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 you can choose to save data or do a complete wipe; probably best to just wipe the whole thing. Then put on CWM+Rogue's recovery [it is NOT the touch recovery - YOU DON'T WANT THAT!] instructions for that are also in sfhub's post - read throroughly. Then apply Phantom Hackers Blazer ROM afterwards. Been running Blazer for a while now and found it to be the best ROM for me. Good luck.

What exactly is the odin count? How is it bad? and how can I check if mine is still at 0?

If you do not have a yellow triangle during the start of booting on your hone then you do not have an Odin count that goes over 0. After for what it does it tells your cell provider if you have flashed a custom anything pretty much.

U have to flash the SBL for the EG30 or EG31 roms. The newer bootloaders stopped the jig from working.

How to go back to Gingerbread?

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.

Once you have gb kernel and recovery, feel free to wipe all and flash the gb ROM of your choice.

The couple of times I have gone back I just flashed the stock cwm kernel, then wiped data and caches, and flashed the rom and kernel that I wanted to use. I didn't have any problems.

His one-click packages are the whole kit-n-kaboodle as far as I know. Kernal, ROM & Modem plus root (added benefit).

I use Mobile Odin to flash the stock EL26 CWM Kernel, then right when it reboots....I hold Vol ^ + power button to get to CWM, then wipe and restore my GB Nandroid, or flash GB ROM.
Mobile Odin is a life save when you're away from your computer.

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.

Rooted with Zedomax + Caulkins Rom. Constantly rebooting.

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...

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.

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.

Any thoughts?
