[q] mobile-odin-directboot - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Im on an ICS ROM, can I do a directboot with mobile odin to the EG4-EL29-directbootCMW-v3.tar.md5 and Then do a complete wipe and flash the el26.cmw Then Flash the new ICS ROM and gapps? The correct gapps for that specific rom of course.

You can flash from within the direct boot CWM kernel, no need to flash the el26 cwm kernel.

Thanks man

Probably a stupid question, and sorry if it's repetitive, but I would rather be safe then sorry...
I too am on a ICS rom (AOKP), by flashing direct boot CWM in PC odin... I can get to another ICS Rom, but I still need to Wipe Factory/data, cache, and dalvik, before flashing another rom in CWM (i.e. PA 1.3 and hybrid apps), correct?
Or in this case, it's prefered I go to El26

Blazer 4.0 to another rom stuck on boot screen

I've been trying to install a new rom on my epic 4g touch and I'm currently running blazer rom 4.0 and trying to try out new roms like calks new 3.0 gb rom but it gets stuck on the boot screen and I tried a fresh Odin from stock and rooted and cwmd but it gets stuck on cwm and even in worst case, it's got rid of my cwm to where I had no choice but to Odin back to stock
Which recovery are you using to flash? If you are using hitman that is your problem. When I tried to flash Blazer 4.0 SAME thing happened to me. Try a different recovery. I have had excellent luck with gunslinger 1.41.
Which ever version rouge 5.0.2.7 is

Alright so you Odin'd back to stock now what I would do is reinstall CWM then flash the Gunslinger kernal then retry. Also when you flash the rom make sure you wipe Cache, delvic cache, wipe data factory reset. Then go to mounts and storage and wipe system. Then flash.

I usually just wipe cache and dalvik reboot and I am all good to go.

I had the same issue when trying to install blazer 4.1 coming from calks 3.0. The flash would go thru with no errors but wouldn't boot. Then I had to Odin to restore the phone. What worked for me was downloading the blazer from on my pc then sending it over to my phone. Flashed then no problems. Maybe it was a bad download?

Use sfhub's one-click to Oding to Stock EL29 (full reset!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101. Then use his AutoRoot [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 ]and add CWM+Rogue.
After downloading (and before extracting the zip of course) check the MD5 and make sure you got the full downloads!
This will give a full stock AND a good CWM. Trying to do it any other way is silly in my opinion. Especially with all the bricks.
Then you can boot into recovery and flash away.

Second that! Blazer 4.0 had some new frame work baked in... So a full wipe is needed when switching to and from blazer 4.x
I've used calks format all and haven't had any problems

About to flash an AKOP ROM, question on going back to Calk ICS

Doing the whole nand then el26 kernel flash via Odin . . . gonna flash the ROM per OP instructions . . . I am on on Calks FD02 ROM, if i want to switch back am I ok with just doing an Odin to make my kernel EL26 and then restoring the full nand i just did? Or should I Odin the FD02 kernel instead and then restore?

If you want to go back just flash the EL26 kernel with CWM through Odin. While booting up hold power + volume up until you get to recovery. Once in recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and restore your nandroid.

Q: installing gapps with aokp or codename

I flash the cwm kernel, boot into recovery, wipe, flash rom, flash gapps but no gapps show up when I reboot. I have tried pushing the gapps straight to system/app with no luck.
Every time I attempt to get back into recovery I have to reflash it with Odin and still nothing. I know I need a gingerbread recovery but I'm not sure which to use.
I have looked in tons of threads and most say DO NOT FLASH ROMS WITH THIS RECOVERY!
I know this is noob **** but I use a fassy and am not very familiar with et4g shiz.
P.s. attempted to get her phone running an aosp rom with gapps for over an hour. If someone could give me a quick simple reply with the recovery I need to flash an aosp from and gapps from fe10 let me know.

Flash this Recovery Kernel (EL26 stock CWM) through Odin. http://db.tt/PjcA1HqE
Clear cache, clear Dalvik (under advanced options).
Flash this version of gapps. http://db.tt/y7AI52fM
Flash the desired operating kernel and reboot. You should be good to go.
Good luck!

In case you are still running AOKP or AOSP you can flash this FE10 kernel. It is only compatible with AOSP or AOKP, flash it with anything else and it will give you boot loops.

[Q] Best order to flash: Modem, Kernal, ROM, Tweaks, GAPPS?

Tweaks

This is what I do
1. One Click back to EL29
2. Get GPS lock
3. Flash EL29 directboot CWM with Mobile Odin
4. Factory reset, wipe C & DC
5. Flash Rom
6. Flash GAPPS
7. Reboot
8. reboot to Recovery
9 Wipe C & DC
10. Flash Tweaks, modems, 4.2 goodies, etc
11. Reboot
I have never had issues other than a bad rom DL using this method. More experienced users probably skip a step or more along the way, but this has never let me down. No triangles or Flash counts using this way either.

Modem and kernel do not really matter you can change those and flash them any time.
If you are doing a TW ROM make sure you have a custom recovery (If you are stock this is when you would flash a kernel). Usually you would want to run a wipe all type zip or do a wipe in the recovery(If it is a safe recovery) Once you have that flash the ROM. If you are doing an AOSP ROM do the same first step but when you are in recovery flashing the ROM also flash the Gapps.
Once you have that done you can go nuts on whatever tweaks/modems/kernels you would like to mess with.
Why can you use mobile odin for everything/? Like lets say me
About to do a update to my rom (no wipe)
So I can just Flash the Rom (wipe cache and dalvik in mobikle odin) restart
flash gapps mobile odin? right?
Or is this bad idea. I only use mobile odin to flash once before and it worked I lvoed how easy was... was a recovery though not a rom or eta update
If your updating

[Q] custom kernel before custom ROM

Do I have to flash a custom kernel before a custom rom. If so I'm thinking of using Arc Knight kernel and Cyanogenmod 10.
Also what is a good alternative to cwm for flashing kernels and roms?
Cheers.
AW: [Q] custom kernel before custom ROM
you unlock your bootloader, download flashtool, flash the kernel, boot your device, enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, choose rom and gapps, flash them via recovery, wipe again, reboot.

You cannot use arcnight with cm10. Arcnight is a stock based kernel and cm10 is a jb Rom. You need a jb kernel for cm10.
Anyway either way is fine. Either flash ROM first (if your previous kernel has recovery) then kernel or vice versa.
