Odin EL29 with CWM and flash the Blazer zip through recovery.
Would i need to wipe? or can i just download the EL29 +CWM and just flash it?
Or use twrp. Its completely saw to flash any rom...

You need to read allot more my friend...
Unless you are using a GB base kernel/recovery... "DO NOT WIPE OR FACTORY RESET!!!" If you have to ask why.... you need to search and read allot more.

Last night I flashed CM9 Alpha 1 onto my Epic4G Touch using QBKing's video's and everything went perfect. I backed up my Stock Rom and then flashed the Alpha build and now I wanted to back it up, but my CWM Recovery is now gone. If anyone could give me advice on how to bring it back up or install it again, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you in advance!

There is a reason a cwm is not in the kernel with cm9 so people don't use it and brick their phones ....I would advise against using any ics kernel with cwm ....Odin a GB kernel like el26 " your ics ROM won't boot with the GB kernel" download a ics kernel before you do all this ... Odin the kernel el26 boot into cwm backup cm9 & then flash the ics kernel back and clear cache and dalvik and it will be backed up but remember it will be backed up with the GB installed so it wont boot u will have to remember if you go to the backup to flash that ics kernel or it will never boot

Epix4G, I am sorry, but that is very confusing. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Then truthfully maybe you should not be messing with it you have a good chance of bricking and if you don't know what I am talking about you may not have the ability to flash this right now...it's easy to brick with these ics roms
I told you step by step how to do it

I understand what you were saying, but it made no sense the way you wrote it, lol. Do you have a link with this information that is clearer?
1 download a ics kernel ie.. Fc22 etc
2 download GB kernel el26 this is a strait cwm not rouge or acs..
3 use Odin to install el26 kernel your cm9 will not boot with this kernel but it's no problem.
4 reboot into cwm it's blue ...make your nandroid ...
5 if you want to stay on your cm9 then use the cwm to flash the ics kernel you downloaded in #1 ...
6 if you want to flash anything else go ahead and do it ...
7 when you want to go back to your cm9 use Odin to flash the el26 again " you can use mobile Odin to do all this also "
8 when going from ics to anything Odin to stock or the el26 kernel and go from there ..
That is the safest way
Sorry I am on my phone or I would find all the links for you

So let me try and get this right...I'm on fd26 stock rooted in order to flash a new ROM all I have to do is flash a GB kernel and not go back to GB fully, and if I wanna flash just a theme then I just use el29 kernel also is this correct? If not what are the steps I take to flash a new ics ROM from stock rooted fd26??? Thank You in advance!!!

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash
Jus' Sayin'
Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

I am currently on CM9: Alpha 4 ROM. I am wanting to flash back to a gingerbread ROM (Blazer 4.1) just because of battery issues and personal preference. How abouts should I flash back? Just Mobile ODIN EL26 Kernel and wipe and flash the GB ROM?

Did you mobile Odin the kernel then go into recovery and wipe all then flash blazer
Did you make a backup?

Yes before you flash make a nandroid backup in ClockworkMod recovery. If you don't like aokp (highly doubt you'll have this issue) just boot back to recovery and restore nandroid.
EDIT make sure and grab darkside superwipe and cachewipe first. Use these instead of cwm's wipe functions. Superwipe before rom flash cachewipe after any flash. It will save you from a lot of bugs.

If you're asking this i suggest you read ALL the stickies before you do anything. I've been seeing a higher than normal of threads complaining of phones getting bricked which means people arent following directions.
You're asking a very basic question that can be answered by reading the stickies.

This will explain the process and as for a custom rom, I'd suggest that you look at a few and pick one that looks interesting to try; there are several excellent roms available for the E4GT.
mobile odin...in playstore or there is a free apk floating around on xda..once this is installed go grab a gb27 kernal withagats recovery from repository..and grab the el 29 direct boot kernal...el29 is safe to flash any rom from...download rom of choice..make sure this is all on ur root of sdcard...open mobile odin.click on kernal.go to ur el29 kernal and pick it and flash..odin will check md5,but u should too..once in recovery hit volume down , volume up , volume down..now ur power button is enabled as ur enter button..wipe data,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache,in advanced....do anything specif from rom op that the dev says...read,read,read....lol..rom should have a kernal with it...u might have to flash gapps zip....reboot....if this is ur first time on jb...i suggest getting a one-click restore so ur system partition is right for jb...there r great guides in repository for all of this...dont forget to thank ur rom dev and rwillco and any others that helped....good luck and as always...im not responsible if ur phone blows up or ur microwave runs away...lol

It will still work, are you using mobile Odin to flash CWM

You need to be on ICS modem, which can be flashed in cwm after you flash your ROM.

Now, where do I find an ICS modem? And after I flash the safe kernal should I flash the ICS Modem with CWM and then CM 10.1 Or does it not matter?

Google is your friend . Here's all modems for the E4GT. And flash the ROM first, then the modem, then reboot, and profit!
