If you flash the NODATA version of EL26 in my signature, it will be pre-rooted, and keep your existing data.

Depending what you want you can find it in the 1st or 2nd post:

Those are .exe files... They won't work on mobile odin right???

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.

But wut if I don't have a computer and just want to use mobile odin

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.

I cant get Agats CWM recovery to install ??

I just installed android update FF18 following QBkings video. Next I tried installing agats CWM recovery following QBkings video. It won't install. I've tried many times and redownloaded many times. USB debugging is on and my PC recognizes my phone. It finishes and reboots like it should but when I boot into recovery I'm still stock. Only thing I noticed is superuser won't update. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but wanted add that. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Use mobile odin.
Works for me every time.
If superuser is an issue, re-odin FF18 root.

You should probably try to use sfhub's one-click to make sure you're rooted correctly then use his Autoroot to add Agat's CWM kernel.

Yeah I think ur right, I'm probably not rooted correctly.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

OK i got it, so if I'm not rooted correctly then the recovery will not install. And instead of installing the ff18 android update on Qbkings video, just run sfhubs one click instead like the EL29 one click I used when I first rooted my phone back in February ? And then install agats recovery.

Yes. But unsure why the steps didn't work if you followed the video. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

If you used sfhub's one-click FF18 (Stock plus root) then all you have to do is use his Autoroot package [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 I suggest downloading the 'full' version] to add FF18-CWM-agat-src kernel.
Then I'd also grab Agat's latest (2.3) safe kernel [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421]and flash that via CWM.
Good luck.

Thanks leaderbuilder ill try it when I get home

Custom recovery question FI27

Will qbkings video on flashing a costume recovery work on a stock rooted e4gt, Fi27 build. Would I end up using a ff18 custom recovery?

I am assuming yes. As using Odin you just need the right file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
download the 6.5 .TAR file and follow the video.
put your phone in download mode.
open ODIN, make sure only auto reboot is checked
load .tar file into pda slot.
hook your phone up to the cable. (you'll see a yellow box with COM:xx) means your connected.
press start.
Wait until phone has rebooted. Good to go

Awesome I shall give that a shot after I read a couple more threads.

I would recommend upgrading your kernel to Agat's 6.5 kernel or FI27 kernel repack.

[Q] How to switch from CM10 to stock jellybean

So I'm giving my wife my galaxy s3 since I'm getting the nexus 4. I was running CM10 and she does not like cm10 and prefers touchwiz. So how do I safely go to the official tmobile jellybean update without bricking the phone. Need help been searching the forums all night. Thanks

Just flash the .zip if you want to stay rooted or you can odin which sometimes loses root. All you would have to do is flash recovery then flash the .zip with root injected to recover.

So I tried to flash the stock deodexed in cwm and it installed but I was stuck at the black samsung boot up screen. Is there like a step by step method of doing this. I'm still new to the whole odin thing and dont quite understand it.

Did you Odin back to stock? Or did you flash the .zip? There was two files on that thread I linked you to. The top one was an Odin file. The bottom one was the .zip to flash.
To use Odin DL the file then unzip the .tar and Odin it.

NP man. I was switching back and forth between ICS and jb and realized it was not only messing my SD card up but I had glitches galore on my jb ROMs. I reformatted my sdcard and Odin back to stock jb and have been running jb every since. I had a hard time understanding the process of Odin then flashing the ROM that was already rooted.
