[ACS][Odin]Stock EK02 Deodexed with CWM/Root 3.0.7/Busybox 1.20 also with zip

Odin or Flash this to get Deodexed stock EK02 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.20. This also comes with Chris's Stock CWM EK02 kernel. This does not include the modem. To flash the modem follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367695.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
Thanks to kingsway8605, calkulin, -viperboy-, shabbypenguin, chris41g, T.C.P, graffixnyc, digits, and everyone else who helped out!!
Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-CWM-EK02.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

reserved in case

This can be used to root as well right?

Yes but it won't just root. It will give you everything else. So if you don't want deodexed system don't flash this. If you want Deodexed system this is for you.

Thanks crawrj but In the op it says this is eg30. Might want to change to ek02. Thanks again.

This is 2.3.6
Sent from the future.

im currently on 2.3.4, eg30 modem, and blazer rom. all the new threads are kind of confusing me. So i should odin this stock ek02 and flash the modem. then flash whatever rom i would like to use after, correct?

Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question, you say Odin or Flash. If Flashing, is it as easy as just going into recovery and flashing as a zip like a ROM, or is there more to it?

What are the odds that overstew's ICS theme will work on this?

I just flashed the zip in CWM, flashed fine.
formatted system
wiped data
wiped cache
wiped dalvik
flashed zip
Calks Format all zip would work just fine as well

I'm about to try his Ciano universal, will report back. if that works the ICS should as well
Edit: unfortunately The Ciano Universal Theme does not work over this. Wiped cache, dalvik, flashed theme. looked like it went through fine. rebooted from CWM but didn't get past first boot screen - pulled battery. Powered on, same thing. Went back to CWM to re-wipe and reflash(twice over itself) to try again, but same problem upon boot. oh well. There'll be plenty of options soon.

You should never flash themes, mods, roms etc that are built on different OS versions. It might appear to work but there are changes in the versions so you are basically trying to mix pieces of 2.3.4 with 2.3.6 which is a bad idea.

Thanks, understood. Had some backups at hand so I thought I'd give it a go. Thx for the rom!

CRT Animation for Sprint Galaxy S3?

I have been through every Rom looking for this feature, CRT Animation. The ACS Syndicate Rom is the only Rom available with it. Although that Rom over-heats, and drains the battery. I have done everything I can think of or find to get this modification, with no luck!
Currently on Blazer Rom 1.7 LG8
I have tried the CWM Zip files for the international models... although it says installed correctly, does not work.
I have tried the CWM Zip files for the Galaxy S2... once again it says it installs correctly, but does not work.
I have tried the manual code change for the international models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it worked for a minute with a terrible stutter and lag on screen on, after a few minutes it stopped working altogether and left me with this ugly lag on screen on.
I tried then the manual code for the sprint based LG2 models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it did not work at all, and still left me with a ugly lag on screen on.
I have re-flashed Blazer Rom and am once again twiddling my thumbs... PLEASE HELP!

Also, thank you wildgamer100.

Guys, it is IMPOSSIBLE if you are running LG8. You could hack it in the whole framework but that would be way too much work. Samsung messed with the SurfaceFlinger and it broke the CRT animation. Sorry.

It seems that upon boot the services files revert back to original ones since they are controlled by the framework itself, therefore do nothing on LE8 either since the whole rom needs to be remodified to include CRT animation fyi on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715238 there is crt mod for every firmware version. I have absolutely no idea thou why it would work on tmobile LG2 out of a sudden, so report back when u install that LG2 rom and the CRT files u used (probs we are using different mods).

FI03_AGAT.tar flash with ODIN or Mobile ODIN
FI03_AGAT.zip flash in recovery.
Sorry for the delay.
I'm restoring my laptop since Friday from full wipe.

This app thing is starting to really bug me.
Just tried Gate Guru and it installed without any problems.
Can't try Where's my water (to big for download without wifi) as I know that's another app that causes problems.
I'm running my FH23 rom with FI03 repack kernel.
FI03 repack has been flashed with mobile ODIN over my 0.5.4 kernel which didn't cause any problems either.
I'm starting to think that there might be more to this problem besides kernel itself.
May be some scripts or tweaks that are included in other roms do add something to this.
Same was with FH13 and FH23 repacks. Was able to install any app while running my roms which are tweaked very little.
I don't even know now what to say or how to fix a problem since I can't recreate it on my phone.
Please any one with same problem let me know what rom are you running with it and how did you install it.
Did you guys perform full wipe or installed current rom over previous one?
Just give me as much info as you can and we will try to get to the bottom of this problem.

Try it on my stock FI03 Rom and see if you can reproduce it. I can reproduce the problem on every version of the repacks on the stock Roms. I have only tried it on the completely stock Roms installed with a complete wipe. They have nothing but root and busybox added.

Agat,
Did you try from Stock (TW) ROM?
Think this may be the difference...

I am installing the actual stock tar right now to see if it does the same thing. I want to make sure it isn't something wrong with my Rom.
Edit: Ok so I used desktop Odin to install the full stock tar provided by sextape. I let it boot completely. Booted into Odin mode and used Desktop Odin to install the repack kernel. I let it boot up again and signed into play store. Tried to install Gate Guru and received the same error message.

Will there be a mod later down the road to re-enable the touch to zoom in browser or did Samsung rip too much out to re-enable that?

[Q] Need Help Flashing a ROM

Hi guys, sorry if this is stupid. I've flashed ROMs to 3 or 4 phones before this one and didn't have any issues with them, but this time around it doesn't seem so easy. My phone is a virgin mobile galaxy s2 (d710)
My phone has been rooted for a while and my stock ROM started randomly freezing up on me 4-5 times/day, so I finally decided to flash a ROM. The stickied post says to use odin mobile to flash to GB - EL26 Stock w/ CWM then to flash the ROM I want. Any ROM I tried flashing gave a status 7 error and aborted, EXCEPT for one ROM, and on that one I didn't even have working 3G? I believe this thread implied doing it any other way would be a hard brick.
I finally ended up using samsung's official upgrade tool in download mode to flash back to stock ROM, but it would be nice to get a custom on now that I've put time into it.
Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm currently on the 4.1.2 stock ROM

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50070702
I'm guessing you're trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Using Mobile Odin and EL26CWM will work when flashing 4.2.2 (and under) ROMs, but not KitKat. You'll need the last Blasphemy 6.6 kernel (just for the updated ClockworkMod), located in Original Development, for that.
In your case, you'll probably want to flash FJ12 or FL26 (if you can find it) modem zips, as you're on Virgin Mobile, and those are ICS Virgin Mobile modems, which you'll need to have working data/internet on Any AOSP ROM (JB modems won't work).
And this guide is assuming you're completely stock JB firmware, not rooted.

It looks like I'm on GB28 stock. I think agats caused a soft brick. I'm reflashing back to stock again now....I don't know what's going on with this phone.
Edit: Retried, got it to work this time. Thanks.
Is there a reason why you have to flash one recovery just to move onto another one? Would any recovery work installing any ROM? I'm a bit confused by all these different recoveries, since my last phone only needed one.

On this device, recovery comes bundled with the kernel. When you flash a ROM or kernel, the recovery that was on gets overwritten by the recovery that comes with the ROM/kernel you're flashing.
The reason everybody started using EL26CWM (gingerbread kernel) was due to a bug in the stock ICS firmware that was causing some people's devices to be permanently bricked when doing a factory reset.
Status 7 error when flashing is usually due to using a recovery that's too old.
So to answer your question... No, there is no "be-all, end-all" recovery for this device. Sorry [emoji20]
Glad you got it working though

Thanks for the help. Now that I'm running CM11, I don't have visual voicemail and it looks like I can't receive MMS.
Serious props to the people that use custom ROMs that aren't driven insane by bugs, I'm irritated by it already.
Know of any fix?

I don't know about visual voicemail... I'm flashed to Cricket and just use the built-in voicemail statusbar notification. Have you tried pushing the apk manually? I'm pretty sure I've seen Virgin Mobile fixes here in the d710 forum.
As far as MMS goes, have you tried messing with the APN's? I don't think MMS will work as-flashed, out-of-the-box for you without modifying them for Virgin.
If you're getting annoyed by bugs, have you given stock, rooted deodexed GB28 a try? When i get the TouchWiz itch, I run deodexed GB28, along with Agat's 1.3 kernel, TD's AIO mod, and Missing Link mod (both found in Themes and Apps of this forum).
I'm currently running Slimbean build 7 (4.2.2) as it's super lightweight, stable, and has good battery-life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Do you know where I could find the voicemail apk?
Also, where can I mess with the APNs/what would work there?
The only reason I want a custom ROM at all is to be on KitKat. It honestly disgusts me a bit that google hasn't standardized versions....I don't get why every phone needs it's own ROM and never gets updated....
Thanks man.
Edit: I did find a MMS fix and visual voicemail all in one zip, but flashing it screwed the phone and I had to restore in recovery.

As far as editing APN's, I use Nova Prime launcher to create a shortcut on my homescreen to access them. Create shortcut to Activities/Settings/APNs and make your edits there.
Have you tried extracting the contents of the zip and manually applying those changes? Sorry but I wouldn't know anything else about configuring for Virgin. Maybe you could ask in that respective ROM thread, as I'm sure there are Virgin Mobile users there that have everything working.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the ideas, I'm a bit slow sometimes when it comes to android/linux. I pulled the apk out of the zip, installed it, that's working fine. I just need to find a fix for my MMS. I can send but not receive.
Edit: I found a way to open the APN settings using voice dialer, but it's blank and choosing to add one, it does not save.

Just for clarification, if I want to flash a new ROM when I'm already on a custom, do I need to use odin mobile to flash back to that GB rom with CWM before I flash the recovery and new ROM? Or can I just wipe and flash new recovery from the one I have now?

If the new recovery you are talking about is safe to flash from...and the one you are currently using is safe to flash from...then you can just reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash new recovery and then reboot recovery. Now you will be on the new, safe, recovery. So do your wipes ( data, cache, dalvik cache and format system ) and flash the rom.
If you want to go the mobile odin way..in case the recovery you currently have cant flash the new recovery you need, in order to flash the rom of choice..which im assuming is kitkat. As it needs the most up to date recovery to flash properly.
Then i have a simple guide you can follow to flash a safe kernel/recovery, in which you can then flash the newer recovery for flashing the rom you have choosen.
Link to guide. Post 5 is what you need to read.
If this sounds complicated or confusing..please post a link to current rom you wish to install and i will read the op and point you down the correct path.

Thanks, I was looking to use either of these. I've had issues with ROMs so far because I'm on Virgin Mobile and lots of stuff is buggy. Not sure which of these will work best:

I'm not normally confused by rooting/flashing, but I don't understand the whole "safe recovery" thing.

I see. Im not too familiar with what works with virgin mobile.
But if you can flash a virgin modem and set your apns after a flash.. That will get your data working. I'm at work.. But let me refewsh my memory later about virgin mobile on this device and I'll hit ya back.
Fyi.. I think jdsingle made a virgin mobile rom a while back.

It was made for JB but it's a start

Yeah, I tried that one, it continually crashed my launcher every 3 seconds, had to reflash the ROM. It did give me the voicemail apk I needed though! Really if I could just get flash instructions for going from one rom to another, I'd be set probably.

Have you tried applying the changes and setting permissions in the zip manually, like with Root Explorer?

No, I'm honestly not sure how to do that. Linux's file structure is confusing to me. Granted I'm also having wifi problems on this rom too, it disconnects all the time.

It honestly isn't too difficult at all. All I see in the zip is a new apns-conf.xml (permissions are rw-r-r), 2 build.prop edits, and the deleting of telephony.db located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

[Q] I think I messed up and I need help

I was trying to get "hotspot for all sprint samsung" to work. found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idone.hotspot
He said it should work so I used this app to check my binary so I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su.fixer&hl=en
and it says no binary installed. But I had this one installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&hl=en. So I thought it would be smart to install this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser&hl=en.
Now my phone is stuck in this recovery cycle and won't turn on.
Please help! I hope I didn't mess my phone up.

After doing some research while waiting for a reply on this. Correct me if i'm wrong but I will need to flash a different rom? If that is correct, how do I do that? I always use the stock roms.

Can you get into download mode? Buttons: volume down... Home... Power...
If so, odin the stock rom and start over. Odin cf auto root, twrp etc...

Yeah I can get in that mode. What do I do once I am in that mode? Sorry Im not really good with this type of stuff. When I get in download mode it says "Downloading.. Do not turn off target."
What should I do from here?

I'm guessing once I get my phone home and plug it in and run odin it should be pretty self-explanatory. So disregard my last post. I will ask questions when I run into them. Thanks for your help

Download the stock tar and follow the instructions

Do what GhostAssassin said. Once your back on stock you can flash cf-auto root and TWRP recovery if you want... just like you did before. As for going about getting hotspot unlocked, dont use generic methods/apps unless you want to run into this kind of problem. There are much better and easier ways of doing this. Do some searching in your specific device forums instead. With all the steps you went through you could have flashed one zip and been done. You could have also flashed a stock rooted rom such as mine and been in business in no time. Before you attempt mods and things in the future, make sure it's fully compatible with your specific device because there are differences in code from one device to another., depending on what it is.

Thank you. You said he are using a stock rooted rom? Can you point me in the direction to get that? Sounds just like what I'm looking for.

Did you install a custom recovery?

Yes. you must install a custom recovery in order to flash a custom or stock rooted rom. At this time TWRP is the only recovery that officially supports our Sprint Note 4. Trying other recoveries for other note 4's "might" work but in my opinion if it isn't fully tested and confirmed by the recovery project team then you shouldn't flash it on your phone. With that said, look in the Original development forum here in the Sprint note 4 forum and you will find the TWRP thread. Same for CF-auto root... just do a search and you will find it.

I don't know what that means. But I'm running just the stock rom.

Go into settings/About device/Software version. At the very top you will see which rom version you're on. The last three letters is the version you have. Look in my Hybrid Edition rom thread in the 3rd post in mods section. I only made the zips for NK2 but I can make the NIE mods later. Most pople have probably upgraded to NK2. Find out if your rom is odexed or deodexed before flashing and download the one you need.

Yep It is NIE. Now how do I tell if it is odexed or deodexed?

Unless you have flashed a custom rom on your phone you still have the factory installed odexed rom. If you have fladhed a stock odin rom .tar then it will also be odexed. If you never flashed a custom rom you will be odexed. I went through a bit of trouble making the odexed hotspot mod. Its very rarely done for stock odexed roms. But I know theres people out there who want it for their stock rom.
