I'm back to stock on Sprint Epic 4G Touch with the OTA update to ICS that I recently had to flash back to EL29 and stock recovery to update to. I was still rooted until I updated to Android 4.0 ICS so now I am totally stock once again. Is there a method to obtain root access for stock ICS and stock recovery as well as flash CWM recovery? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks. If there is already a thread dedicated to this I apologize for missing it.
I suggest you follow the instructions in this thread:

I'm trying to flash custom roms to my phone but for som reason it just goes to the little android icon. I'm on EL29 stock root and attempting to flash EL29 custom blazer rom. Anyone else having this issue?
Sounds like you have a stock recovery. Install a custom recovery via sfhub's sticky in the development forum

Here is a link to the stock el26 with cwm. Use odin/mobile odin to flash.

I have EL29 stock rooted. So I can go backwards to EL26? Also I have clockworkmod recovery which is what i'm using to flash custom roms.

I've searched the forums and haven't found a real clear answer to the questions I have.
First of all, I have the OTA ICS update waiting for me. Right now, I'm rooted running Gingerbread with the stock ROM. I'd really like to install the update, but I've got concerns.
Do I need to unroot my phone first before the update? If so, how? I've read several different articles, but they're all different, and people always have some issue or another with the methods. Is there a surefire way?
I know I should back up my phone, but to be honest, I'm not quite sure how! What's the best/easiest way?
I just simply can't afford to brick my phone! Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Heres the deal.. If you update you will be fine it will break root youll be on stock ics .
Then reroot and install agat cwm recovery all this can be done by downloading the root and recovery script on your pc.
You can also use odin and download the pre rooted stock ics rom and odin flash it

Back up your apps with a appbackup in market or use titanium backup
To be honest id just download odin
And the prerooted stock ics and flash it
It should have cwm installed after u flash also

So I shouldn't use the OTA update? Isn't that the easier way?
Use this link to odin flash the same ota ics update as a rom Via odin
Its rooted and just what u want

Thanks so much! That's just the kind of thing I was looking for!
Hello,
I am running an ICS FF18 custom rom and I am thinking of switching to run The Blu Kuban. My question is what do I need to do to make sure that I dont brick the phone? What are the steps needed to switch safely?
Thank you all for the help!
Search for the el29 cwm direct boot kernel and flash via Odin. That kernel is safe to install roms and wipe data and other stuff.

Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thank you.
So can I just use mobile odin and reflash to EL26 and then flash like normal? I wont have a problem going from ICS FF18 directly to EL26?
Thanks!
I believe he said the el29 direct boot kernel

I wanna go back to stock rooted with recovery from the build of AOKP that's posted on Android Central, and I was wondering that the safest way would be. I was thinking of using the Odin OC of FF18 , then using the Autoroot package to flash the recovery. Is there an easier way?
I'm only going to stock to update prl while I try to find a good SGS3 based rom.

Ok so this might be a long question but here it is
Say if i'm on EL29 rooted and want to go to FI27 or GB27 rooted, can I just Odin the root file of the FI27 or GB27 or do I have to go to stock version FI27/GB27 and THEN root the device?
Since you are already rooted, you can flash the rooted version of another rom. If you're flashing jb, make sure you use a jb modem.
