Currently I am running Calkulins 3.0 and now I want to try out Calkulins ICS so can someone explain the steps on what I should do to flash that ICS cause I don't want to brick my phone. Do I just flash like a normal ROM or should I just take different steps? Please help me out!!
Just mobile odin el26+cwm kernel and boot into recovery. Flash Calkulins format all and flash ROM.

You could find mobile Odin on the market. Its an app that cost 5 bucks and somewhere here on xda for free I think
Edit: Its a portable version of Odin that you used to root and flash your phone.

What he said^^^. There is a light version on xda for free. It will do the job. App is a must for any ROM flasher.

You can also just use the Auto Root sticky in development (Option C) to install EL26+CWM
I know its safe go back to gb using odin one click. Is it safe to go back to gb by odining el 26 kernel then wiping then flashING gb Rom?

Well they're only giving you pieces of information. If you're on Calkins 3.0 I have to assume that you are familiar with cwm rogue and most probably auto root or regular Odin. Its my suggestion that if you're not familiar with regular Odin (go to xda search bar and put in a search for Odin v1.85 and Odin one click el29 root and Odin el26 root) that you get familiar with it and download at least those three versions to your pc. It will save your a$$ in a pinch. Also you should have a copy of the latest auto root program. Put in a search on xda or head over to the developers section and skim through the first 5 pages. You're guaranteed to find them there. Now flashing to ICS isn't the hard part. Its getting back to el29 that causes all the bricks. -- 2Things. Go over to the general E4GT section and read the first thread. "How not to brick your E4GT". Also by all things in the universe that is good stay away from CM9 and any CWM touch kernels and roms. Both have been linked to bricks. Bad stuff there. Now that you have the programs you need on you're pc and you're a little more educated about ICS, I SUGGEST CALKINS ICS2.v1.4 Fd02. It had a stock kernel (safe) repacked with the same version of CWM that you already have on calks 3.0. Plus everything works and its very stable. All you need to do I'd down load Calkins format all and the ROM and put it on you sd card. Then go into recovery and wipe cashe then wipe dalvik cashe then go to mounts and storage and wipe your internal sd. Make sure to make back ups before hands so you don't lose any data. Now go to install zip and run the format all. When it is done go back to install zip and install ICS! LET IT REBOOT AND ENJOY. ALSO GOOD IDEA TO DOWNLOAD APP BACKUP AND CONTACT BACKUP OFF THE MARKET. BOTH ARE FREE AND WILL ALLOW YOU TO REINSTALL almos t all YOUR APPS AND CONTACTS AFTER YOU FLASH. Make sure you read all the instructions on how to use Odin as well. Hope this was a little helpful.
El26 with cwm is the latest safe kernel to flash with. El29 and later have rogue repacks and are not safe to use to flash from ICS to GB. I have flashed from ics to ics using fd02, fb21, and a few others with no issues(doesn't mean its safe). Only use el26 with official cwm to be safe.
Edit: especially when flashing to/from AOKP/CM9/AOSP.

I haven't used mobile odin a whole lot, but from my understanding, you download the tar file you need, whether its a kernel, modem, or rom, and it scans your external and internal cards for the tar. Click on what you want to odin, again kernel, modem, or rom, and it odins the file. It's just a convenient way to odin without using a computer.

For some ROMS the devs ask you to wipe your phone to install ROMs fresh. I use Calkulins Format All when in recovery.

ROMS aren't flashed through Odin typically . Odin is used to flash stock.
So I'm running blend 7.1 with el 29 modem and want to go to anakonda should be okay since they are ics right? I've gone back to gb by Odin to el26.

You should always go back to GB, unless going to a stock leak and then odin straight to is fine in that case. Or you can take the risk of frying with an ICS kernel not being able to go back to anything. I took the risk many times but its inadvisable.
Mobile Odin or Odin the el26 kernel and flash from that recovery. There is no need to go back to GB. Your phone won't boot up with that kernel by the way, hold power and volume up to get into recovery.

Going back to GB is not necessary but do whatever you're comfortable with
I use the same method revamper posted. Flash the EL26 kernel with mobile odin then as the phone is rebooting, hold power and volume up to boot into recovery. No need to flash a GB rom, just the kernel will do. It's safe to do a full manual wipe/factory reset with the EL26 kernel as well. Mijjah does a great job of explaining why to use EL26 in the Q & A section in the second post here.

You can still flash a GB kernel even though you have a ICS ROM installed. It won't boot the phone completely(it'll freeze on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen on startup). But you can still get into recovery and download modes. That's the benefit right there. You don't need to flash all that though. Which ROM do you want to be on? The part about using Odin to go to FE22 and then go to EL26 has an extra step in it. You really don't need to flash the FE22 before going to EL26.

Ya some of them have CWM or a different custom recovery. What ROM is it that you want to install? What I mean is you don't need to flash to multiple other kernels/ROMs before eventually going to whichever ROM you want.
Go to the dev section and find sfhubs fe22 Odin one click and flash your phone with that. The reason you do this is so you will be on a stock rom where you can update prl and profile. After you do this, using Odin (with only auto reboot checked in top right corner), flash the el26 cwm kernel. Boot into recovery and from here you can flash back to Frankenstein or blazer whatever you want. You will need a computer.
So...
1. Fe22 Odin one click
2. Boot into fe22 stock rom and update prl/profile
3. Odin the el26 cwm kernel
4. Flash whatever new rom you want.

Your problem was having the stock kernal to do the flash. Best thing to do know is to flash a el26 CWM kernal using Odin and then reflashing the whole rom set up again.

I don't think it is possible to have the stock kernel and have rouge recovery. That would mean that you must of had a custom kernal which had included rouge recovery. If you mean you had stock kernel to being with you then you flashed the new rom using androids stock recovery which almost always fails when installing a new rom. The kernel I mentioned , EL26 CWM can be found here, flash it using odin and then reflash your whole rom setup. When you double click the file, it will self extract and a file should appear. That is the file you flash using odin in the PDA slot.
The file I flashed in odin was a rooted el.29 file then I used a tool that installed the el.29 rogue recovery... so I'm confused why a .29 rom won't install over a .29 base?

OK So sounds like (not too sure though) that you used sfhub's Autoroot package to root and add EL29+CWM+Rogue is that right?
Solution to get you back to a working EL29 stock (but rooted) running phone.
Power off the phone.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 download the Download the EL29 full restore One-Click self-extractor and extract the file somewhere.
[Also make sure you downloaded and installed the Samsung drivers from this post, have a GOOD USB cable and that the phone is charged at least 50%]
Then start the file you downloaded: SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-OneClick.exe
The power on your phone while holding the Volume Down button till you get the confirmation screen and press volume up to accept and enter Download mode.
Connect your phone to the PC and it should show up on some COM port (doesn't matter which one) in the Odin tool.
Press start adn wait till all is done. You will then have a working stock rooted phone.
Then take some time and read through all the stickies and tutorials in this section. Read especially the 'how not to brick' ones!
This phone is very different from the HTCs and Motorolas in how the system(s) is partitioned and how the recovery works.
Then take some more time and read a little more or you will surely turn the phone into an expensive fishing lure.
If you want to flash the FF18 (actual leak build) sfhub has a one click for that too! Safest way to go. And you can use his Autoroot package to add Agat's safe ICS kernel.
Welcome to the E4GT just be careful and you'll have more fun.
By the way Qbking77's videos are SUPER if you are new to this phone!

You need to do the one that wipes data since you're going from ics to jb. It's going to delete whatever you have on the internal sd so back up the files. After you do that then you can flash a jb Rom on it. I'm on my phone right now so I can't really link you to the thread easily. Look for the jb roms they should have links to all you need to set up a jb Rom.

It is hard to fully brick, but it can happen. Take your time and read as much as possible.. When I got my first Android device, Samsung Captivate, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading before I even attempted root and another full day of reading for installation of a custom ROM. You always have to be prepared to have a paper weight on your hands. You can't panic if you get stuck in a bootloop. Rule of thumb, 95% of the time if it still turns on, it can be fixed. What I do now is read as much as possible before I even get the device. I was reading and researching for 4 days before I got my S4 had it rooted and ROMd in an hour after I got it.

Yea this phone is so complicated to flash roms and other things. And I thought My HTC one and HTC evo lte was hard. But I love trying out new phones so it keeps me from getting bored.

The E4GT is easy. Try figuring out the S4. That's what I am on now. There are so many different things to worry about.

One of the main reasons why I like HTC devices because when you flash the ROM the kernel is flashed at the same time if yr S-Off were this phone you have to flash the kernel separate from the rom and then you have to use ClockworkMod recovery which I don't care for. I prefer TeamWin recovery. But my wife's GS3 is similar to htc devices download the Rom and flash and it has TeamWin recovery. But I got this phone to flip so I'm not going to keep it but who knows.
