[Q] CWM mod only odin tar?

I want to root but I heard there's data problems with the modified kernel. Is there a way to just flash the CWM recovery through odin like there is on the OG Epic?

I figured that was a speedtest.net issue. :Z
I've only been able to get it to do a successful test 3 times out of about 30.

CWM mod odin only tar?
I tried the odin method described in bubbys thread to install cwm mod via odin but when i connected my e4gt it showed in odin and clicked pda to open tar file but odin didnt see the tar file to open yet it is in the file on my desktop and pda sees the kernel rar files?? Real strange because this was a fresh download from bubbys link. For some odd reason i cant open the tar file to add in odin and install to the phone to have cwm. My phone has bubbys stock kernel after i had used zedo's v2 then v3. I was having the LOS issues after both zedo kernels then it went away after returning to bubbys stock odin install that has kept SU. So at this point i don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my a**

So I can run caulks el 26 ROM but my phone won't boot into into click work mod recovery only the stock Android recovery. How can I get root can flash this through the **** work mod app.

download THIS kernel and use odin to install it. this will give you the el26 stock kernel repacked with clockworkmod recovery.
choose the one named "StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5"

[Q] CM9 alpha 4 upgrade issue

I downloaded the .zip file for the upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4 off CM's website, put it on my SDCARD, booted into recovery - looks like stock recovery, (following the steps on CM website) then applied the zip -> it looks like its doing something for about 20 seconds then the little android guy dies and has a red triangle with an exclamation point coming out his stomach. What am I doing wrong?
baseband version: FE10
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD10-CL377892

You need to be using a clockwork mod recovery to flash, stock recovery will not work.
First make sure you are rooted.
Next use either Odin 1.85 or Mobile Odin to flash the EL26 kernel.
Upon reboot, go into recovery mode using volume up+power. If you miss your chance to do so, just pull the battery and try to get into recovery again.
Using CWM, flash per the install instructions.

so do i just odin the kernel back to el26 w/ CWM? the reason i dont want to do a clean install is because i wodnt want to wipe my data. If i odin to EL26 w/ CWM do i need to go back to gingerbread?? Or is there a way i can sat on ICS and upgrade?
what if i used this kernel? [NEW][KERNEL] FE16 Repack with ACS recovery

If someone tells you how to do it safely, and you choose to do it your way done come crying when you brick, because it still says don't use recovery with ics kernels...

Do exactly what he said here... You're not going back to GB or wiping data. You're just re-flashing a CWM recovery. When you originally installed CM9 alpha 3, you used a CWM recovery. But the CM9 ROM re-flashes a stock recovery (which you can not use to upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4).
So all you do is Odin the EL26 kernel/CWM recovery image (phone in Download mode), and then you reboot and hold vol+ and power to get the phone into the CWM Recovery Mode. From there, you just install the CM9 alpha4, you don't wipe data or lose anything.

thanks man, it worked.

I am new to the forums and didn't want to make a new thread. I am having issues with the GPS (Maps App.) The app loads up i enter the destination i want to go to but it wont find my location where i am at. It just keeps searching for my location...
So i went ahead and downloaded another GPS app ( tele nav.) same issue. I was wondering is there a way to fix GPS issues on this rom? I would like to fix that issue..

anyone have a solution to fixing the GPS issue on this rom???

[q] ics recovery

Im curently running stock fe16 rooted and i downloaded fe16 clockwordmod recovery plus. when i put the zimage into e4gtauto,000root and i ran it i still dont have clockword mod recovery what did i do wrong?

You will have a unsecure stock recovery. It looks stock, its sfhubs repack right?

yeah i think its sfhubs so it looks stock? and i could flash stuff right just not modems and roms

Right, no roms or modems unless u want a paper weight lol

whenevr i try flashing something it just says mount sdcard no such file or directoey...

Not sure what your're doing. If you are on sfhub's stock rooted you can then add his 'unlocked' or 'unlocked plus' kernel. Via mobile Odin or regular Odin. See his second post if you haven't already. They do NOT contain CWM but do let you flash unsigned zip files.
Here is the ACS kernel with CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660138 download the zip to your SD card, boot to stock 'unlocked' recovery (power down, volume up+Power button till first samsung screen and let go) and choose to update file from SD card (or something like that) flash it there. Be careful if you are not sure what you are doing and read some more or you will surely brick your phone.

FE16_repack_ACS.tar Flash with ODIN.
its not letting me download it is the link bad? and i think im just going to go back to el29 and restart

nevermind i got it thanks alot.

You don't have to go back unless you really want to.
I just tried the zip and tar download for ACS recovery and they both worked. (remember that is a link to a site you have to download from there; can't 'save the link..')
IF you are on sfhub's stock rooted FE16 just add the unlocked kernel following post 2.
Then download the zip file for ACS recovery and flash that in the 'unlocked recovery'.
You sound like you're getting frustrated and not sure what to do. If that's the case take your time and do some more reading.

The link can be very slow to start, may take several minutes. Let it sit maybe.
Edit: Oops, too slow. (Me, not the download)

do i flash the unlocked kernal in e4gt tool? or odin where do i put the zimage for odin?

im just ganna run the tfe16 how do i flash the cwm kernal for that one ?

you don't use the e4gt tool
You use Odin as described in the second post from sfhub's stock rooted fe16. place the .tar into the pda slot

there is no tar when i extract it theres just a zimage?

Not sure which one you are talking about.
The unlocked kernel tar from sfhub? Here there nothing to 'extract' the file is a .tar file USED by Odin. place the tar in the pda slot as it says in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26205440&postcount=2
If you're talking about the tar file for the ACS recovery use that in mobiel Odin and place it in the kernel slot, scroll down and select flash firmware. Bam done.

Leader he's unzipping the tar.
King, please leave all tar and zip files intact.
Here is how it works:
Tar files - use Odin
Zip files - use CWM recovery
When you use odin from the pc, these are the slots to use depending on the file you are flashing:
•PDA Button: This is for flashing kernels and ROMs (in .tar format)
•PHONE Button: This is for the phone's RADIO/MODEM ONLY!!!!!!

ok i know the "kernal" is a tar file i need clockword mod not the kernal

i know i dont have CWM recovery thats what im trying to get im just on stock fe16 right know!

the CWM is 'baked into' the Kernel. So you have to add that kernel to your stock rooted setup after you do that.
Simple use sfhubs stock rooted fe16
Follow the steps in post to to add unlocked recovery
boot to 'stock unlocked' recovery
update from zip file
select the ACS kernel and apply it.
then you will have stock rooted fe16 with ACS CWM

where are the steps? and i already flashed the kernal again

Stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen.

Trying to update my old E4GT to KitKat (CM11) for use as an MP3 player. I believe it was on OI23 before. I tried EL26 CWM, Agat, and finally attempted installing Philz Touch before it gave up this screen. Kies cannot connect to it, even after making sure proper drivers are installed and doing the connection troubleshooter.
Am I screwed? Did I encounter the infamous "superbrick"?

You should still be able to flash stock firmware via Odin in that state. Connect it and flash, provided that the battery is charged.

Ok I've gotten ODIN to recognize it again. Now how can I get to CM11? My biggest problem is finding a recovery that will work to flash it.

Here is a stock rooted ROM for d710 with CWM included in it, flash it via Odin and you'll be restored, rooted and have CWM.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Sprint%29%20%28SPH-D710%29/Stock%20ROMs/GB/EL29/No%20Data%20Restore/Rooted
Then you'll need to flash an ICS modem or you won't be able to use Kit Kat custom ROMS(CM11), it is a .zip to be flashed in recovery the way a ROM is. Scroll to the bottom of the list and grab the last one. Flash it in recovery.
http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S2 (Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Modems/ICS/ZIP
Then you'll need to find a 4.3 custom ROM to flash to update the devices partition structure before flashing a 4.4+(CM11) ROM. The trick is going to be finding 4.3 and 4.4 ROMs, they are old ROMs and may not be available for download anymore. I'm trying to get the CWM that I used uploaded so you can use it, it flashed all of my 4.4 - 4.4.4 ROMs. I flashed everything with it. It's CWM 5.0.2.7 for sph-d710.

I'm back up and running with it. It's rooted but I don't have CWM, it's still the stock Android System Recovery so I can't flash anything.

You flashed the file I linked? It is supposed to have CWM packaged with it. Go to rwilco12's android repository, at the top of the page you'll see a downloads tab. Click it then select the options on that menu until you get to Galaxy S2>Sprint SPH-D710>kernels and you'll find the Odin flashable recoveries for E4GT.

I had an AGAT GB27 v1.3 from rwilco that I flashed to get a custom recovery, just flashed the FL24 modem with it. So I have EL29 software with FL24 modem. Ready to flash something newer now.
EDIT: And now it doesn't boot.

To get to Kit Kat, you've got to flash a 4.3 ROM then flash a 4.4 ROM. I'm not sure where you'll find one or if their are any available anymore.
There is CWM 5 or CWM 6 at rwilcos repository, its probably better than Agats

I have a CWM 5.0.2.7 in zip that I'm trying to upload to my Android File Host for you but its giving me issues uploading. I'll find a place to put it so you can get it, then flash it in Agat recovery.
Flash Agat recovery again, then flash the CWM I give you in Agat, then go back to main menu and find the "reboot recovery" option somewhere, I can't remember where its at in Agat, reboot recovery will boot you into the new recovery, do not boot to system then boot to recovery, it will revert to Agat and you'll have to flash CWM again and boot to it correctly to keep it.
