Updating from El22 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been on the El22, rooted and unlocked with an ACS rom that runs the samurai modem (havent updated phone in a while). how outdated am i?
is the El30 the latest update? what is the best way to update? i always forget waht i should do after not being part of the community for so long.

A simple google or a browse through development would show you FC09 is the latest or a check of Sprint's site for the latest firmware.
Also questions go in Q&A where this has been answered with another thread.

Need to flash the kernel too?

Awesome job on the ROM as always! Sucessfully flashed the ROM and the latest modem bin.
Only question: on the first post of the CleanGB thread, there is a link to the CleanGB kernel (in addition to full version). Do I need to flash that as well?

No the kernel is included in the rom for Clean GB. Next time post within the Clean GB thread and ask. Also seems like maybe your new to this so be very careful! You may always send me a message if you have question about your phone. I'd rather help people before they mess up there phone than after it becomes a paperweight

Unfortunately, I don't have the privs to post in the Epic4G Android Development forum where I could have asked directly on the thread. Hence, the reason I asked here instead.

jn, dont' worry , it's cool... travis might have forgotten thats what the q/a thread is for. it takes sometime to learn your way around here.
The kernel in the full version of the latest CleanGB ROM shows a different version number than the link to the kernel only flash file.
That was the other thing that prompted my question.

[Q] firmware update pda:lde/phone:lde/csc:lde

in kies it says i can up grade to kies firmware update pda:lde/phone:lde/csc:lde and it downloades it then the computer screen box of that flashs and stops and reconnects phone and tells me theres that same update and do i want to upgrade to it so i guess its not letting me any one know that thats about my phone is 2.3.6 uvkl1 kernal 2.6.35.11
Yea...theres a thread about that already. It will upgrade you baseband (modem)...lockscreen (ICS look) and other minor stuff. This is mostly about upgrades your modem. It works great on my phone. Im getting better signal. If u are root you gonna be stock after upgrade but you can root your device again using same method. It still will be on gb 2.3.6

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked already....but how do I update my radio from el30 to fc09? I am running aokp m6 with el30 rooted.....I would like to know how I can update my radio so I can run mortify rom? Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer my ignorant question....

You can use any modem (radio) you want on any ROM. But if you want to change your modem anyway go into Development section In the stickies and look in the roll up sticky thread for the modems one.

Look in the Dev forum for the download you need. It's on page 1.
Note: Mods make Q/A forums for a reason, lol.

There is no such thing as a 4.x tar file for the Samsung Epic 4G. The last tar this phone has is 2.3 GB.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Tar files are official ROMs from Samsung. Since E4G has reached EOL at Sprint, the last version it receives is the FC19 Gingerbread 2.3.6 released on March 19th. Find that in the dev section.
As for JB... You know how to CWM and flash that afterwards

Actually the official final release is FC09. The FC19 was a leak possibly back up plan.

[Q] switching roms epic 4g touch

Sorry about this, I am not allowed to ask on a developers thread. I am running Anakonda 2.0 ICS ff18, I would like to try out RUJELUS JB rom when he is done with it. If I dont like it will i be able to go back to my ics ff18 without any problems?
You are allowed to ask in the QA section where questions belong. Do not double post this in there a mod will move it.
If you are unsure about going back to stock after flashing a ROM, you need to read the stickies.

Read the thread on how to use nandroid. It will help you with backing up your current setup and easily allow you to go back after trying out another rom.
