[Q] e4gtauto isn't installing EL29 cwm - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I'm having. I installed the AOKP rom (Build 32) and used it for a good month then today I flashed the stock rooted EL29 rom using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
The problem I'm having now is, when I use e4gtauto to install CWM it goes through it really quickly and my phone never reboots. Even if I do it manually CWM isn't installed. I want to reinstall AOKP but I can't if I don't have CWM to flash CM7. Any ideas?

I had that issue before. I had to use Odin and just flash this kernel( http://db.tt/0QJkleJR), rebooted into recovery wiped and flashed as normal. I use mobile odin to just flash this kernel and never had an issue since. You don't have to go back to a el26 ROM, you only need the kernel to wipe and flash between roms.

Thank you for the quick reply.
So do I absolutely need Mobile Odin?
And also, once I install the AOKP rom, I use Odin again to flash the EL26 kernel so I can switch between roms?

You don't need it, but it is a huge time saver. I always flash to el26+cwm using it. I don't ever use my p.c., but I would advise that you always do a md5 check every time before flashing. There is a free lite version on here somewhere. I never go anywhere without mobile odin and root explorer, plus I keep several roms on my phone at a time.
Mobile Odin is a mobile version will allow you to flash el26+cwm from your phone, just hold power+volume up to reboot into as you would with regular odin.

Using mobile odin

My pc crashed recently and i was wondering if anybody can shed some light on mobile odin. Is it reliable, does it work well....just wanted some info before spending 5 bucks on a app ......soo should i buy???????
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
So far it seems reliable. Bought pro version after using the free for a bit to support. Haven't flashed a ROM through it but have flashed modems and kernals.
Try the free and then decide. Pro gives ability to inject su etc. Not needed for kernel or modem.
Anybody else
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've also only used it to flash Kernels. Worked great for that. Just flash a kernel then boot into recovery if you're nervous about flashing a rom with mobile Odin. Although if you brick it will be because of the kernel, not the rom.
Yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!

i bought it and i flash everything with i only CWM for nandroid backups but something will need more then just a flash ( you will know it migth get stuck in a boot loop and thats only with a couple ROMs that need to have data wiped) , if you flash it and it gets stuck in a boot loop then just go into CWM and wipe data fix everytime and thats the only problem ive had
Mobile odin
I USED MOBILE ODIN PRO TO FLASH THE OFFICIAL ICS UPDATE FOR MY SGSII i777.
FLAWLESS
Only thing mobile Odin can't do on the et4g is.flash modems, they flash but won't stick. Its well worth the $5 but if you'd like to try it first chainfire has a free version here on xda. If you try the free version when you download it make sure to scroll down a few posts in the thread and download the flash kernel for our device, its listed as the sph-d710 I think its post 5 or 6 where its located

Mobile Odin has always worked well for me,it is nice not having to have a computer around to get my flash on.
Although its not been working on jellybean,has a problem with finding the partition so you have to reboot into recovery
thru the ROM or by manually booting into recovery.I'm sure it won't be long before its fixed.
can i use mobile odin to flash a directboot kernel el29 on ics where i would then flash a rom?
Yes, it will work and I have used it before.

I've only had a snafu once and that was a couple of days ago with trying to go from blue kuban (sp?) back to el29. Something happened before i even installed it. The rom was falling on its face and reporting things stopped running. I have no clue what caused that but i suspect that is what caused mobile odin pro to lock up before rebooting. It, mop, hasnt messed anything up on a system that was running and not fc'ing or other errors popping up left and right. If you want to flash one click odin files, you need to get zarchiver to unpack the compressed exe to its full size or mop wont be able to do anything with it. I used to mess with the additional wipe options but started leaving them alone lest i screw up something. I think it's pretty safe to use. Now i have to switch out of this damned samsung keyboard because it's driving me crazy!
I've noticed people leaving comments in the app's page in the play store. Their comments are that it soft bricked when using for an ics install. Today I experienced the same thing again. When trying to go from agats fh13 rom to sfhub's one click Odin of el29, using mop, what worked so many other times is now just installing recovery but the rest bombs out. I'm going back to run a md5 on my oc el29 to make sure it isn't corrupted. Use mobile Odin at your own risk. I thought it was reliable but I have to check a few things first.

I only use mobile Odin to install el26+cwm to flash from. If your oneclick has a modem that may be the issue, they flash from mOdin on our device but don't stick, so it may be what's causing the softbrick with the oneclick. Or you may be correct and have a corrupted file. I've never attempted to run a oneclick or flash a whole rom tar from mOdin just el26 and then flash what I need from there, never had an issue with it yet:thumbup: usually if I want to Odin a oneclick I use the PC, but I don't Odin a rom unless I bootlooped by forgetting to flash an ics kernel after a nandroid restore from el26 or when I rooted my device. I don't use TW roms tho I stick to aosp based roms so i don't really have a need to do alot of Odining roms unless its absolutely necessary because I borked something or need to do prl and profile updates and don't wanna mOdin el26, flash TW, mOdin el26, then flash a new aosp rom or restore a backup. Ill just oneclick to el29 and a cwm kernel then do my updates, boot to recovery and flash el26.zip and the reboot recovery to flash my rom

The ability to mobile Odin el26 kernel to be super safe is worth way more than $5 to me, app was a bargain... $5 to a fantastic dev from xda beats the hell out of $100 to asureon for an insurance claim because I was careless

I've gotten into the habit of using el26 everytime I use recovery, I don't even worry about if the kernel I'm using with my rom has recovery or what recovery it is. I've been using el26 for a little more than 5 months so its just become a habit for me to mOdin it before I go into recovery

I md5'd the file on the phone I have and on the computer. They both match. I can run the computer one and it goes through without errors. Maybe I should try it again to see if I can determine what's causing the soft brick. I will report back.

Give it a try without the modem and see if that's causing it too. I know they flash and don't stick but I'm curious if its flashed with the other files if it not sticking like it should causes an error during the flash process that corrupts something in the kernel preventing the boot

I've flashed a few different ways and no problems. Perhaps it was a couple snafus earlier. All on clicks have a modem packed in them but mop won't flash the modem. You can flash a custom recovery then flash the modem zip if you wanted to. I thought of something I did different earlier but am not sure if I want to go through the hassle again. What I did just before was to flash the fh13 modded 1x zip to show what mode you were in. It definitely broke the looks of the 3/4g icons and the battery. After the flash I couldn't connect to 4g in known good areas. Well, I'm really lazy now but I suppose I won't know if that could be replicated yet. I hate intentionally screwing something up that works nice as it is.

My mobile Odin will flash the modem it just doesn't stay after it reboots. That's why I was wondering if flashing the modem in the oneclick was causing some sort of error from it not sticking. I know on other devices the modem will actually stick, I think the et4g is the only one it doesn't stick on, or maybe the cdma devices it doesn't stick on. I always flash my modems in el26 right before I flash TWiz to do a prl/profile update. I'm still rocking fd19 haven't changed modems since late may after I tried the last few modems from end of may and went back to fd19 cuz i have great 3g speeds on it.

[Q] Going to Cyanogen Mod without bricking

So unfortunatley I was stupid on my first device, and it got that dreaded emmc brick. So before I root and update my phone to cyanogen mod alpha 6 I want to clarify what is considered safe at the moment. I plan to do the following, and if someone could let me know if its most likely safe it would be greatly appreciated.:
(I currently am on a new Epic Touch I purchased, which is not rooted, on 100% stock out of the box)
1. Flash E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5 through Odin (will this work as a first step, or do I need to flash something else first in order to root?)
2. Through that recovery flash my Cyanogen Mod and Gapps
3. Never do anything to my phone after that without extensive reading
Should that most likely work without bricking? Thank You!
That should work. Also, from what I've read, if you are going to wipe your phone, DO NOT use "Wipe data/Factory Reset" through an ICS recovery. That has been triggering the random emmc brick. Use "Calkulin's Format All" instead or Odin back to an EL26 kernel. Hope this helps.

Thank you, one more question. From an out of the box phone with no custom recovery or root or anything, will it be okay to flash that CWM file I listed as the first thing that gets flashed, or do I need to flash another root package first?
Use sfhubs one click el29 then mobile odin el 26 kernel and flash cmod and gapps through there. Also dont flash calks format all in ics recovery either

New Plan, would this work and be very safe?
Take unrooted stock phone, put it into download mode, flash SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 package found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Then flash a StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 file in Odin
Then do a Wipe/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then Flash CM9 Alpha 6 and Gapps
Never used odin to flash kernels, just mobile odin cause it doesn't increase flash counter. Sounds like a good plan though

Thanks,
is going from EL29 to EL26 considered safe since it is going down? (Im just really cautious as I bricked going from ICS to GB and although these are both GB I want to make sure its okay)
Yes its fine as they are both gb
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Rule of thumb. Never flash ics to ics unless using one of agats safe ics repacks or mobile odin el26. Wiping data or format all in ics recovery can cause a brick.

Fun with Odin, Rogue Recovery, GPS and ROMs

Hi All,
Love this community! OK, ran into a hiccup while trying to get GPS working on my CM10 Alpha:
-Was on CM10 Alpha with safe recovery (Alpha 4)
-Decided to fix GPS by flashing an EL29 ROM (Calkulin 3.0, which I gravitated to since he's legendary but I had never run his roms. I figured everything would be totally current since it's reputation seems to be the best)
-Got my GPS lock and everything was going fine
-Tried to boot into recovery but it flashes a Team Rogue sign and then just reboots into the main system
-Figured I'd mobile odin EL26 BUT there's a problem with the rom and I can't download an app from the market!
So:
1) Which ROM should I use to get my GPS lock that has a good recovery and will be good for re-flashing JB once I have a lock?
2) Since I'm still rooted, can I flash that ROM via desktop odin? If so, where are the best instructions on how to do that?
----(I typically follow QBKing's videos but my current train of thought has me flashing a stock rom, then re-rooting it and I feel like I should be able to do this with quite a few less steps since I'm already rooted)
You can download mobile odin apk from xda I think, pretty sure I got mine from here.
Personally I'd get lock with stock GB or stock ICS, install directboot EL26, wipe all and flash JB

Yes. There's a free version of mobile Odin on xda by chainfire but you have to download the flash kernel for the et4g listed as sph-d710 in post 5 or 6 of tthe mobile Odin thread, the free version won't automatically download the correct flash kernel like the pro version will. PM me if you need help or can't find the thread I have a copy of the free version in my box account and a link to the thread so u can post a thanks to chainfire :thumbup:

[Q] Mobile ODIN better than TWRP?

So I was just reading about Mobile ODIN... It seems like the ideal solution for flashing ROMs on the surface, especially since it doesn't trip the flash counter, but what are the pitfalls? Obviously no custom radios I would assume but what else? I'm using TWRP right now and I'm quite happy with it but should something ever happen to my phone, the flash counter has already been tripped and if I forgot to use Triangle Away when flashing back to stock I'd be screwed plus it seems like Mobile ODIN has a lot more features. Looking for some guidance here before I toy around with recoveries.
Mobile Odin isn't a recovery, and most roms are packaged to be flashed in recovery not using Odin

Enlighten the peasants? Besides people using it to flash things while their build.prop is modified - user error.
Couldn't tell you personally, but things I've read about it almost always turn bad.

I have used mobile Odin a few times and still like it.
But here are pros and cons I found.
Its very easy to switch from one ROM to another without going into recovery.
You can also wipe cache and data when you install.
You can have mobile Odin installed in new rom.
You can also inject everroot and superuser into new ROM mean you will have rooted and superuser app in new ROM even if you're flashing stock zip.
Well.. but..but..
You can only flash one zip at a time so if you're flashing ROM+gapps, you have to flash twice.
You can not flash .tar or .pit file like desktop Odin.
You can not wipe system thru mobile Odin so if you're flashing TW to CM or any other ROM that needs system wipe, you can really screw up your phone.
The app is great but user error is always a risk. Be careful.

No CWM on EL29 + EL26 Recoverys

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!!

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.

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.

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.
