Nand backup is the backup utility you use in CWR. And Non-Touch is just that; it's the standard non-touch version of CWR (ClockWorkRecovery). You can find both versions here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
You're going to want to read, read and then read some more and get comfortable with these tools before you start using them to flash. There are a lot of great threads here that explain everything in great detail, and most of them are pinned at the beginning of each thread.

Clockwork recovery. There are 2 types. 1 utilizes the touch screen the other uses the volume, power buttons for operation. Recovery is used to make a backup of data and system on the phone so you can go back to it later.....if needed. Recovery is also used to flash new roms and other fixes.

Short for ClockWorkRecovery. It replaces the stock recovery our phone ships with. It allows us to root our phones, flash new ROM's and of course...do nand backups. Your going to need CWR on your device before you root or flash any custom ROMS.
Like I said....please read. I read on these forums for many many hours before I flashed my first ROM. In the end, it really pays off.

His phone is rooted. It's pretty hard to brick flashing as long as he flashes a rom from our dev section.

Let's put this in a way you'll understand:
Nand backup = What you do when you "always back up all my **** before i install any rom just in case i dont like it."
Non touch recovery = ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7, the recovery utility that darkside recommends you use on all his ROMs you've been flashing.

If anyone has ties to Koush it might be a good idea to let him know about all the hard bricks that Rom Manager/CWM touch is causing from the ICS leaks on our device. He should consider dropping support for us to avoid further bricks by people that dont know better. I just sent him a DM on twitter.

yea good luck with that, on the prevail/admire/replenish/precedent people were getting bricks left and right because of rom manager. in fact the only safe option for them was "reboot to recovery". we have numerous threads about how not to use it all over android forums. myself and a few others came up with a way to fix cwm (because they are all arm6 devices and koush's rfs modules are arm7 and higher only...) and make it official.. he told us no he didnt like it and to come up with a new way to do it. instead now we have to try and figure out a new way of doing it all while more people get bricks.
so, for you to request he pull support on a product that makes him money and sometimes causes bricks, is a VERY unlikely event.

LOLOLOLOLOL you must be a former evo owner?
on the OG Epic rjmjr69 (ACS team leader) sent him an epic for recovery purposes, 4 months later he still had yet to make it or reply about sending it back. he finally got it back after a few more months and we got a 2.5 version "fake flash" which im sure many of you are familiar with (its how he does all of his samsung recoveries) when version 3.x was made by dameon and we broughtin ext4 support again took forever and then we had just ext4 cwm.. from there drockstar spent MONTHS learning cwm and getting dual fs cwm made. in teh 4.x series drockstar was teh champion of cwm whipping out all sorts of versions and improving on many things. after almost a year he finally got cwm official status again to go from 2.5 to 3.0.0.1 now to 5.0.2.0
my point is all the work was always done all he had to do was sync up their repos, from my experience if you want a cwm that works and is updated, do it yourself... dont rely on him. the atrix has been supported since months after it came out, photon just got support 2 months ago despite it being the SAME phone...
Captivate. But I guess the story is different here. He worked with designgears and had a recovery within days. Same story with SGSII.
lucky you guys
Factory restore was the culprit for me. use the format all zip and that seems to be much safer.

I just bricked my Epic Touch on Saturday. I used Rom Manager to back up the phone. The phone now is in the dumpster. I've used Rom Manager on my EVO 4G, and my EVO 3D for a long time and found the app very useful. I've heard others bad mouth ROM Manager, but I never experienced any problems until now. Any how, I strongly suggest everyone STAY AWAY from Rom Manager if they have an Epic Touch.
I have been using Rom Manager on every ICS leak..I am also very safe in that I don't backup anything as well as flashing back to GB before going onto any other ICS build..User error is the issue, not Rom Manager.

when you guys are talking about Rom Manager, you mean the app, right? I've never had any problems rebooting manually to recovery and flashing roms. I guess that's still usually a version of CWM recovery, right?

I mean I am no pro, but I am sure those devs use every method thinkable when flashing to make sure all methods are compatible. It is inevetible that they will have some bricks. Rom Manager has worked over and over and over for me is all I am saying.
I am not using the touch recovery btw. I flash CWM with Rom Manager and then reboot into recovery with it.
It should also be noted that when I flash CWM using Rom Manager, I do not choose epic 4g touch when it asks what phone I have. I select the bottom option, which I believe is just Galaxy SII

As title says I'm new to this site I have only got Calkulin's E4GT 2 ICS Rom. Looking into getting a blend, I have a White E4GT back on GB EL29. Already rooted obviously. All Roms will be looked at, I'm looking for something like ICS but battery saving and themes and such are applicable.
also
What is the difference in these kernels/modems? Like mine is EL29, and there is EL26 and stuff, when flashing a new rom will it change by itself or do I need to self flash a new kernel, and I had the issue with Calkulins ICS where the yellow triangle appeared, so I followed qbking77's guide on how to fix that, if I were to flash say, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538848 this rom, or so other that needs a new kernel, how would I (if possible) keep my kernel to make sure that yellow triangle stays away?
I'm not sure how to keep the triangle away with ICS but, with gb I've flashed almost every rom, and el29 is the most latest release for the epic touch.
Assuming you know what modems are, each and every modem reacts differently on every phone(I'm pretty sure no one knows why).. So you'll just have to play around with modems to find your best combination,
as far as the kernels go, some roms come with a certain kernel others use the one previously on your phone(I beleive), just read the rom info an it should tell you if it includes a certain rom
Edit: ah sorry.. a modem is the radio in your phone, it's what communicates between the tower and phone for service, wifi and what not
=D Double edit: this might help out to..

Ah, this is helpful for the second post, thank you. I'm still wondering as to what Roms I should try next, I liked Calkulin's but I'm one for trying everything till I find the one for me. Any suggestions will be nice.
Everybody has different likes and needs when it comes to roms. I just flashed the fd24 leak earlier today and so far its very nice. My main need is stability and the official leaks are the most stable in my opinion. Read a lot and ddcide for yourself. Ths nocturnal venum rom has also caught my eye once they get the rest of the bugs out.

If you are using a GB rom you can restore a GB rom, but if you are on ICS you cannot restore back to any roms. You need to go back to Gb then installing the rom. In order for you to go back to GB you can follow QBking77 video (youtube) on how to root your samsung epic 4g touch. (by re-rooting it brings you back to a fresh GB rom, with no worries of bricking your phone).
I suggest reading here How Not to Brick your E4GT
You can nandroid from an ICS rom back to a GB rom, I did when I was on Calk's ICS rom to get a gps fix.. Although, there is a risk in bricking it, its up to you. Personally I'm on Venom's ICS rom and it is by far the most stable ICS leak I've used, and has great battery life as well.

Just flash the rom after format? Or Flash a new kernel? Cause my current kernel is stock but last time I flashed an ICS rom it gave me the annoy I1900 triangle boot up thing, is that going to be an issue?
Wipe cache,dalvik then format system and then wipe data. If going to ics rom make sure you are on a gb rom with CWM. Or I believe you can flash through odin, but definitely do some research.

Last question on your pic of your about phone, your baseband is FD19, would I need to flash to that before trying that rom? or could I just wipe like you said and flash from EL29?
Read this threads first 4 posts first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24733831
This ROM is AOKP 32 based and needs EL26 with CWM(found in first post on above thread). As for baseband, that is just the modem and any doesn't need to be flashed unless you want to try a different modem. To do so just Mobile Odin el26 with cwm wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvick, flash modem of your choice, rewipe cache/dalvick, flash rom, flash gapps and reboot to AOKP Goodness
Rather ask then break something, but running MJJz's blend 1.6 which is currnetly under FE22 but no cwm. I've been out of the flashing world since then (May) so a bit behind on the what/why. I'm looking at my windows VM with Odin which when I start shows
E4GT - FE22 Restore - Rooted. So can I get a 1-2 refresher.
I have the new MJ ROM which contains has the updated FF18, but can't install that (or any other ROM w/o a recovery).
So do I need a newer version of Odin, or do I simply run that, connect, and go? Time is getting more forgiving so I will have time to play a bit more often and keep up.
Tnx
I hope you got your flame suit on cause a flame war is about to begin.

Well since you have asked something in wrong section, let me just answer it..
Use mobile odin to flash EL26 Kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like from the recovery.
You could use Sfhub's auto root package to flash EL26 kernel with CWM and then flash ANY rom you would like.

I have the new MJ ROM which contains has the updated FF18, but can't install that (or any other ROM w/o a recovery).
So do I need a newer version of Odin, or do I simply run that, connect, and go? Time is getting more forgiving so I will have time to play a bit more often and keep up.
Tnx

Get either of the last 2, Odin it and flash the rom update.

@bigtoysrock, you thought you answered, actually no you simply said download gats kernel, and as the 1st line stated, I would rather be cautious then break my stuff.

Hey, I got nothing else to do while I read up on mobile odin (actually pretty cool) or just go straight odin .. so bring it on >
ok so if I have a problem do I keep it in this comical one or post a new one in the Q&A?
The problem, well since you asked, I used odin 1.85 and the stock el26 with CWM. Flashed, rebooted and the boot screen now has the model along with a nice yellow triangle. The good is that I was I did get into CWM (doing another nand backup) but I have some new ROM's to test, do I simply format and install? I will read up while I await the comical (yet deserved) comments or post in the q&a!
Regardless, you guys are great, so thanks!
** update **
Reading up it seems it's a known thing, but everything works fine, so I am reading here;
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/10/...e-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-without-usb-jig-video/
and will see if that does the trick, but the phone is backed up and new rom is flashing now.

I was hoping this was moved by now but anyways..
Thats why I posted the 2 methods. Auto root package and mobile odin. They don't trigger that triangle. You can use usb jig or triangle away app to get rid of that ugly triangle.

I went to a local page plus dealer and after several tries trying to flash i was told i could flash my phone because of my memory was read only or something like that? Is this something dealing with the kernel? I'm on Aokp and i see the yellow triangle every time i boot up..
Your rom should only make it easier imo.. Id suggest flashing a stock rom for dial codes such as the mms fix and 4g mac address alterations, if you even need it!
Flash it back to stock using odin, go get it flashed, then root and rom.
Another suggestion is to learn the "flashing" process. Youd be surprised at what youll learn and it comes in handy!
As always read, read again, and re read everything you just read!

Thanks for the quick reply!!
Long story short, i just bought this phone 2 days ago and i'm trying to grasp everything.
I came from a droid x and it was much different. To go back to factory, all we had to do was SBF.
Are you familiar with what files i need to go back to stock?
Oh yeah, im currently on a nandroid backup that i made when i first rooted my phone. But i see that i'm on Agat's dirty kernel. Which kernel do i need to be back stock? EL26? FH13? etc
Maybe this would help as well:

Take a glance in the dev section it has everything youll need there. I suggest EL26 odin package. NO BRICK! id also read up on the post in this section describing "for the most part" the flashing process for boost. That will kinda give you a general overview of what your in for if you decide you wanna do it yourself. Btw odin isnt hard to figure out at all at all but like i said read the directions in the op carefully TWICE, THEN AGAIN AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AND READ IT AS YOUR DOING THE FLASH PROCESS.

Yeah i learned to flash between boost and verizon/sprint and some tricks a few months ago but im no pro.. It honestly doesnt matter what your on or what your using.. Odin is pretty simple and you can use it on whatever rom. at least i have. But you take your own risks lol if you screw it up its not on me.

Ahhh...I think i'm learning..So with my droid x, i used to use Rslite(Not sure if you're familiar with it) to go back to my stock ota rom.
I'm assuming Odin would be the same thing. It lets me go back to Ota updates whenever? Am i on the right track?
Yeap! I had an atrix but i prefer samsung. And your definately on the right track. Odin can be used to flash custom roms as well if there made for it.

Guys all of the Custom ROMS says 4.1.2 but my Android version is 4.0.4 if i flash any of those ROM will get problems?
will update the version automatically? or do i have to upgrade version before instlling a custom ROM with 4.1.2 version.
if so, how do i upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4?
Info
Model Number
SGH-T989
Android Version
4.0.4
Baseband Version
T989UVLH1
Kernel
3.0.8
Build Number
IMM76D.UVLH1
You can just use a custom recovery to flash a 4.1.2 ROM, make sure you full wipe (in recovery do factory reset and wipe /system)
Before you do this make sure you back up any data you want to keep.

I will have mercy on you, cause I asked this as a noob also. First, above all, wrong section. Please ask a mod to move to Q&A. Second, the android version is part of the ROM. ROMS are built in a paticuler android version. Upgrading android versions is a non issue.

You have a whole slew of options. You can search 4.1.2 in the thread titles in this very section. You can also grab CM10 for the Hercules from get.cm or Goo Manager by searching Hercules.

Cyanogenmod is always a good choice. I'm using all star liquid smooth ATM, its rock solid and has the best battery life of any ROM I've ever used on my t989. Jedi mind trick is pretty awesome too...

This going to be really fun for you the next month or so. Try every rom type so you know what's best and don't forget to backup the ones you like. Then after you find you a cool ROM (AOKP ) try messing with different kernels.

Most probably with a computer because any of his indicated phones can do that speed if their not LTE. Even our hercules can only do H+, 2 times the 3g speed in the USA T-Mo network, that is ~40Mb.

Says at the bottom he is on U of Chicago server. So it must have been a wifi connection and universities consistently have fantastic connections.
@OP
Look others have said this already but I'll reiterate. Dont worry about the version of the ROM. You can install a ROM with whatever android version and it will run so just choose one that you think will be stable and fast. The thing that you have to pay attention to is the google apps package you flash. Google apps are NOT included in almost all ROMs and have to be flashed separately, after the ROM is installed. Each version of android has a GApps package specifically for it and they will not work properly if they are mismatched. So it is very important that when you DL the GApps you pay attention to whether it is for 4.0.x or 4.1.x or 4.2
