Easiest way to get from EK02 to FF18? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

A guy I worked with asked me to help him root his Epic 4G Touch a few months ago, and now that ICS is out he wants to upgrade to it. However, I'm a little unclear with how to go about getting his phone upgraded. It currently is on EK02 with CWM recovery. Can he just flash an FF18 ROM or does it need to be ODIN'ed back to something like EL29 first? I tried to read in the development forum about how to do this, but I'm confused..... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just do the one-click FF18+root odin package. thats the easiest way. Then, flash agats kernel for a safe recovery to wipe and flash ICS roms odin the kernel as well after the FF18 upgrade. to get rid of the yellow triangle from flashing the custom kernel use Triangle away. (that's if you get it, not sure because I use mobile odin)

EK02 OTA Update failing..

Hey guys,
So I am on EG30 modem (stock), and I only installed crawlcj's odexed stock rooted ROM.
I got the OTA update notification today morning and I just pressed update and walked away for like 30 minutes, and when I came back there was a yellow triangle with the android figure on the screen and it seemed to be stuck.
So I just held down the power button to turn the phone back on and it seems that the phone is still working fine under EG30 but EK02 was nowhere to be found.
I'd like to get the EK02, do you know why it failed and what I need to do to get the OTA to install correctly?
Thanks in advance
it failed because you are rooted and dont have stock recovery anymore. so if you want to upgrade to EK02 you should just flash the update that is posted already for rooted phones its fast and easy to do.this is the link to get you right to the new modem. after you flash the modem upgrade just chose a rom that has also be upgraded too. now you have the new update its just that easy

I'm going to jump onto this thread to because I'm having the same issue (and have searched this high and low for a solution). I have Crawrj's Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4 on my phone. All I would like to do is to upgrade to EK02 and 2.3.6 (which I'm not sure if it's one and the same), remain stock but retain root. I don't have an SD card in my phone and I don't have clockworkmod (@ewalk4366 the video in your link assumes the upgrader has CWM). Since the OTA failed, I'm at a loss of how to proceed next. It seems I'm missing one thing or another when it comes to trying to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for some noob butter but I still don't have all the terminology down correctly, so there may be times where I say modem but I mean rom and visa versa. For the sake of this thread, I think I'm saying what I mean.
just install the new EL13 modem using odin... i hope you are rooted

Thanks for your response but don't I still have the stock recovery? Crawlrj's odexed busybox rooted 3.0 rom didn't have any other recovery mods..
And I'd like to have the completely stock version of the EG30 ROM and the Modem.. So I should flash both? Wouldn't that erase my memory?

[Q] Unrooting EI22 and returning to stock.

Ok, so nothing has been posted about this for a while, from what I can tell, but I wanted to see what the best method is to return my phone to stock for repair. I have EI22 "Mostly stock" rom w/ EI22 modem, Nubecoder kernel and CWM. I want this back to stock 2.3 w/ all of the regular EI22 crap, and the threads I've read are about getting it back to EC05 stock. I'm not sure if I should follow the ReRFS method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
Then doing OTA to 2.3.. OR just flash the Heimdall EI22 package here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353310
Has anyone performed either of these on EI22 that could share?
Thanks!
Go with the second method with Heimdall. The first will still have you rooted with CWM recovery. You would need additional steps to unroot and try to get the OTA which may fail.

Odin back to ec05. Find the update.zip file which will bring you back to ei22. I wouldn't do ota. It takes forever and can get corrupted. If you can't find the ei22 zip let me know. I can upload it for you to download.

Since I cracked my screen, I wanted to return to stock before taking back for replacement. I followed:

Then did OTA to EI22 Gingerbread. And everything worked fine for me. Never tested to see if CWM recovery was still there.
So my question is CWM still on my phone? And if so, is it going to be there after it is fixed?

Nope. Odining a stock tar replaces CWM with. Stock recovery. With the OTA you have to jump through hoops to get it back. It will require Odining CWM recovery in with reboot unchecked. Pulling and reinstalling battery and booting straight into CWM and then flashing a custom kernel. For Root you will need to flash su.zip as well. I prefer flashing a full ROM right away to get root.

Here's a link where you can find the EI22 Update.zip:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...read-epic-4g-official-gingerbread-thread.html
IMO, since you want to take it in for repair, odining EC05 is going to be your best bet. There won't be any traces of root left on your phone, with the exception of your SD card, which you should also copy and then get rid of. Some people think this is going too far, and the Sprint techs won't look at it, but whatever, if you're taking it in for repair, I would cover all my bases. To the extent of creating another Gmail account to sync up your phone with, so they don't see Titanium Backup and/or Root Explorer, etc as some of your paid for apps.
OTA or download the update.zip as mentioned to get to EI22. Once you get your phone back, I would odin again to EC05, skip the update and oneclick from there and flash whatever ROM you were on before, or flash the nandroid you made before odining from the same version of CWM you had before you started this whole thing.
Again, some may think it's overkill, and it might be, but at least you won't be called in to the store informed they won't fix your phone because some nosey sprint tech knows your phone was rooted.

Safe Flashing

Hi all, I've been reading a lot of threads around here about safely flashing our phone. I'd like to verify somethings before I go around flashing things.
It is my understanding that its ok to go from any rom to any rom using sfhubs odin oneclick methods. Is this correct?
It is also my understanding that I can flash any rom (unless otherwise stated) from CWM recovery safely if I am back to EL26+CWM using ODIN.
I have some confusion about this. Currently I am on a stock EL29 unrooted build, if I want to flash an ICS rom would I flash the EL26+CWM tar via ODIN and then use CWM to wipe and flash ICS? Is it also required that I flash an applicable kernel along with the rom?
Also I have never used odin before. Do I need to install this program from somewhere first before I can flash things?
Do I need to root my existing EL29 setup before I can flash the EL26+CWM tar?
Sorry for the huge number of noob questions, I just don't want to take chances with my phone. I'm an HTC guy and things seem to be done very very differently there. I'm very interested in trying the upcoming date to the Blend ICS "The Goodness" rom.

1. Yes as long ad you get into download mode
2. Yes
3. Yes but usually roms come with a kernel that works already, check OP for each
4. Yes get either mobile Odin from the market or get it on ur PC (best to have both)
5. Yes you have to be rooted to flash anything

The best advice I can give you is to look up qbking77 on youtube. He has step by step how to videos on rooting and flashing your E4GT.
Start here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc&feature=plcp
He has a link in the description on how to add CWM
Ill tell ya right now I would not recommend flashing an ICS rom it is soo buggy I hate it! I just installed the tablet one I forget what it is called but nothing but force closes even when ya aint doing anything it will just force close on ya. Stick with gingerbread untill there is a final release for ics trust me. Way to buggy right now!
I must agree with RB!
I would not mess with ICS if you are new to this phone (and even some that are not ). If you really like your phone, I would recommend trying out the many Gingerbread roms for a while. It is a much safer and far more stabile learning platform than ICS.
As far as flashing ICS I would check out one of the official leaked builds before trying out a custom ROM. I've noticed that some people seem to have different problems even though we all have the same phone. The changes from GB to ICS were enough to drive me nuts sometimes, but I've been using the leaked builds with minimal problems for the last few weeks. The newest one is FE10 and is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648045
I have to say I take back what I said I was getting all those force closes but then I did another factory data reset and now it is running smooth and I am LOVING ICS!!! You should check out the Hydra Rom by team Venum it is soo sick! It makes your phone like a tablet!!!
True you can use either Odin or Mobile Odin (and it is best to have both). But I find Mobile Odin much more convenient. I always keep an the EL26+CWM tar and an ICS Tar (Kernals) on my phone at all times. It is much safer to do anything on the EL26 kernal such as wiping, flashing, nanding, and etc. Even if you are on an ICS rom you can Mobile Odin to the EL26 kernal flash whatever you want, and lastly flash back to an ICS kernal and reboot. That is about as safe as you can be. Like the other posters said though try out some GB roms first there are many great developers, and these roms generally have far less risk associated with them. I am currently running Epic Venum Rom and it is great. Happy flashing!
Yea ya see sometimes when people ask for opinions on here I say try it yourself because its different for everyone. My battery life compared to yours and my user experience compared to yours. I am on Codename and have 0 issues and honestly dont even need an upgrade. I could rock this ICS till my next phone.
Hey OP do yourself a favor read yo ass off up in here and please please please follow directions to the "t" and just try out a few roms

LMAO RB. You're really gonna confuse the guy now.
Thanks for all the informative responses all. I think I mostly have this down now.
I rooted my stock build with sfhub's odin OC, then used sfhub's autorooting utility to flash EL26+CWM. Got into CWM and wiped everything a few times and then flashed Blu Kuban ICS.
Now that I tried this, if I want to try a different rom should I just Odin OC back to my rooted EL29 build and repeat the process or would it suffice to just use the autorooting utility, flash EL26+CWM and then flash my new rom?
Can anyone recommend me an ICS rom that is fairly similar to a stock ICS experience? It doesn't have to be CM9 or AOKP. I'm just tired of Samsung's cartoony icons and themes. "The goodness" seemed interesting.
Also what is the best Gingerbread rom around here in case I decide to stick to that? Any that are themed like ICS?
Also if I wanted to, I could go from my blu kuban ICS rom straight to FE10 using the Odin OC safely right?

Odin OC back to EL29. It is HIGHLY recommended that you not flash GB kernels on ICS roms, so flashing EL26 from ICS is not ideal. Insofar as rom i was on goodness until just recently, which is great, but recently switched to AOKP build 35, which is AMAZING

I would just flash el26+cwm from mobile odin/odin and boot into recovery. Once there just wipe and flash like you did for Blu Kuban. You don't have to go back to GB ROM, just need el26+cwm. As stated above it is unsafe to flash to el26+cwm using ICS recovery, but is safe to Odin/Mobile Odin to it. I always have stockel26cwm.tar, an AOSP kernel, a stock ICS kernel, and whatever ROMs I'm currently using. I also always have Mobile Odin and Root Explorer installed.

Wow you just saved me a whole lot of time. This whole time I was under the impression you had to odin back to Gingerbread rooted, reinstall CWM before flashing another ICS rom. I never knew you just needed the el26 kernal! Thank you! Quick question though what slot do you put the kernal in the PDA?
Here's a direct link to the stock el26+cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR
I believe you use PDA slot. I use Mobile Odin as I'm always at work and never near a computer. I do believe there is a free lite version on these forums somewhere or its $4.99 on Play Store, but it is a huge time saver as I flash a new ROM several times a week at least(currently addicted to HyDrA).
Sent on HyDrA using Tapatalk 2
thanks kill, i was odin OC back to EL29 before each flash, i will adopt your method going forward, i should have realized this a long time ago...
No problem. Just trying to save you some time/effort. One more thing though since I don't think it was ever mentioned. You should always verify the md5 checksum before flashing anything. There are free apps on the Play store to check with and most developers post a checksum by there downloads.

Rooting a E4GT (SPH-D710) from Sprint

There is almost too much information on this forum!
All I would like to do is root my (wife's) phone in order to remove bloatware and install Ad Blocker, ideally without losing personal data. The phone's firmware was updated to FH13 yesterday using Kies and I am comfortable using Odin.
I read the entirety of this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033, along with several of the linked posts, and am still a bit confused. The OC upgrades are rather large and do not seem necessary since I am already running FH13. I downloaded the [ODIN] FH13 Kernel TAR.MD5, and can easily install this, but is there anything else I need in order to have root after installing this kernel?
Thank you.
Welcome to the E4GT.
Never too much information.
If as you've said you've already rooted the phone to FH13 and you are comfortable using Odin (I am hoping you mean you understand where to place the proper files and not just the 'one-clicks' - placing an update/tar/pit file in the wrong slot WILL kill your phone) you should probably grab Agat's latest safe kernel 5.4 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
Grab the tar and use Odin. Then you'll have a stock rooted phone with a safe kernel with recovery (CWM)
Seriously though taking a little time reading the stickies and how-tos will provide you with loads of information that can/will keep you from bricking your phone and save even more time being frustrated. Along with the added benefit of not being the one who killed your wife's phone.
Do you wife's phone right; have it all just work and be bullet proof and you'll be a hero. Kill it and you'll probably never hear the end of it.
Good luck.
leaderbuilder,
Thanks for taking time to reply.
To be clear, I have not yet rooted the phone - that is what I am trying to accomplish. I downloaded the kernel you referenced and loaded it using Odin. Upon reboot, I saw the yellow diamond with the exclamation point. Once the phone was up-and-running, I tried Root Checker and it indicated that the phone was not rooted. What step did I miss?
Thanks.
You have a couple of choices from the point at which you are at.
You can get the supersu zip, and flash in the phones recovery to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28086976
From here, you'll need to get triangle away and use to reset the flash count and clear the triangle.
You can also go ahead and use the rooted no data one click that you saw but didn't want to use to root, then use triangle away. But then you'll lose the recovery you just did and you'll have to do again.

MoHoGalore,
I was just reading another post in which you were helping a novice like me.
I removed the triangle by reverting to a stock kernel - so i am back where I started. What i don't understand is this: The kernel is ~8 MB, but the one-click download is ~285 MB. Since rooting seems to be related to a small (?) change in the kernel, and since the phone is already running FH13, what else is included in the OC that is being installed to the phone?

Howdy - and well, you have removed the triangle but you may not have reset the binary counter.. more on that in a min..
And having a custom kernel doesn't mean you're rooted. A custom kernel is a tool for rooted rom's. That is what a one click can do for you, or you can do, with that first step you took.. (And the one click is the "core" of the build that you're replacing, that is rooted. If that makes sense.)
So, here's a few line ups that I would do if I were you;
1. Odin a rooted rom tar (Crawrj has these avalible in current updates) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844109 check out the first few posts, tells you all you need to do this. (The link is FH13. FH23 is said to be a dev build and has issues that are, well, going to be there..)
2.Odin a custom kernel (Which you did, and I guess now you're back stock) I had to change the order as I first posted. The rom tar will place stock recovery/kernel back. So you want to odin the custom kernel after the rom.
Or
1. Odin custom kernel. (Which you did, and I guess now you're back stock)
2. Using either superuser or supersu, root your rom (There are flash-able zips and tars for Odin)
3. Using triangle away, clear the triangle and reset binary counter.
Or
1. Get Garwynns One click no data and complete the operation in a few steps. (You can find that in RWilco's thread in post #2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033)
At the point that you do get rooted, and your on ICS, you need to run triangle away and confirm binary flash count if you ever want to send your phone in for service and want it not to show you flashed anything.. Just my suggestion.

Suggestion for recovery?

I followed QBking's guide for his AGAT FL24 custom recovery. Turns out either I'm donig something wrong, or it just isn't ready for FL24.
I'm a huge noob, so heres what I did. Tell me if it's correct: Placed my rooted phone into download mode, threw the AGAT .tar file into the PDA slot on ODIN3 3.0.7 and hit start.
IF it's correct, why does my phone seem to think it's the international version. At boot it has the normal "Galaxy S II" but below that it says "GT-I9000" or something like that...
And has a yellow-triangle (Not a problem, I know how to atleast get rid of that.)
So, the point of this thread is hopefully someone can suggest a recovery for me, for JB based non-TW based ROMS.
Since AGAT isn't sitting well with me ATM...
PS: I'm thinking of gonig to GA10 for a second time. Do I need to have a root and custom recovery for that too?
If so, do I reset cache and Dalvic..ect...?

I followed QBking's guide for his AGAT FL24 custom recovery. Turns out either I'm donig something wrong, or it just isn't ready for FL24.
I'm a huge noob, so heres what I did. Tell me if it's correct: Placed my rooted phone into download mode, threw the AGAT .tar file into the PDA slot on ODIN3 3.0.7 and hit start.
IF it's correct, why does my phone seem to think it's the international version. At boot it has the normal "Galaxy S II" but below that it says "GT-I9000" or something like that...
And has a yellow-triangle (Not a problem, I know how to atleast get rid of that.)

You didn't say what ROM you are currently on? If you want GA10 full ROM then you flash that in Odin download mode for which a recovery is not needed.

Currently running 4.0.4 FL24 OTA.
The triangle and the i9000 screen are not a problem. It happens when you place custom kernels and rom on through odin. Triangle away will get rid of both
