New E4GT user here. I'm rooted and on EL29, what is the latest build or baseband number and how do you update to it?
I want to update to Jelly Bean, but I understanding that with this phone, you can't just flash any ROM you want, correct? It has to "match" your build or baseband number?

Latest "Official" OTA Thread by RWilco - No root and rooted links.
Latest stock Leak thread by RWilco Best stock leak imo..
As far as JB builds go, my only suggestion is to read each thread of the rom that interests you in it's entirety. Mixed reviews and different issues, different ways of flashing.. etc..
baseband = modem - mix and match to find the best performance for you and your phone. You can run a ICS generation modem on a GB build, and vice versa.
Check out the op in the Modem Repository by RWilco. How to flash and all the links provieded there.
Build and kernel match (usually) based on the rom. Just follow the Op's instructions on the rom thread. read for any issues etc.
Thanks for the great info!
So, when I flash a new ROM, does it comes with a matching kernel and baseband? I'm still a bit confusing about that.
Most or all Roms come with kernel, some, if you use Odin will include modem. I usually double check and flash the modem that I want via cwm...

Depending on the dev of the rom.
Yes, most include a kernel in a custom rom since it is the easiest way to keep what they build to an error free environment.
You may find a custom "rom only" but that is rare.
Stock roms (vendor leaked or "official" ) you will find complete sets in one clicks and tars. Then, usually, you will find it in separate pieces in the reference section. In Rwilcos posts, they are found in post 2.
With your goal of going to JB, you dont have to go to the latest stock.
You can go to a custom recovery, like el26 cwm or a safe Agat recovery, and try out a JB build. There are several good ones in the dev section.

The latest official i believe is fh13, ICS not JB. There is a leak fh23 and fi03. I am on fi03 stock with root...
Having said that there are JB Roms but I've heard that they look great but are not daily use candidates yet...

I'm on PA2.1 and its definitely daily driver worthy idk what JB roms you've seen that aren't. Everything I'm PA works like it should and its based off of sbrissens aosp and phantomphreaks cm10 vendor trees. Which would make both of those roms just as stable if not more so than PA, and aokp JB is based off the same vendor trees so it should be just as good.

Remember to just keep it simple, "New E4GT user here" you should sample some ics and see how that works for you and understand how to go back to your "original state"before you go into jb territory being that ics thought not perfect yet has more stability than jb at the present. Like Mo said read and reread before you take the plunge.

I've been using PhantonPfreek's CM10 ROM for a week now. While not perfect yet, it is a Daily Driver. Most of the major bugs have been handled. currently Bluetooth and headset volune is a problem. This ROM is very close to becoming an official CM rom according to Phantom. i came over from AOKP Mil6. This ROM is its equal. Of course JB features added icing to the cake. I'd say have at it. just make sure that you are on a safe kernal to flash from.

I'm coming from cm10 and I'm going to flash zedomaxs high on android rom and I read I needed a stock modem to go along with it since it's basically a stock rom and there's so many which do I chose since coming from cm10??? Any help appreciated
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.
If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.

Check the dev section dude everything you need is in there

Ktoonsez KT747 will work on TW ICS. I'm using it on AOKP 4.2.1 and it is stellar. You can find it in the original android development section.
what's the different between TW and ICS because there is 2 kernels over there one for TW and one for ICS?
THANKS
TW is if your on stock and still use touchwiz. ICS is if you're rooted and on an AOSP based ROM such as CM or AOKP.
And if i'm stock ics rooted?

Then use the TW version. If you are to flash a new ROM, you'll need to re flash the kernel. Additionally, if you flash an AOSP ROM, be sure to flash the AOSP variant.

I'm trying to find 4.2.1 ROMs to flash, but having a hard time telling which ROMs are 4.2 unless it says it in the thread title. Is that the only way to really tell? I tried Google but I don't want to download something not for sprint. Any advice?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Read the entire op. It will say based on for example LJ7 which is sprints latest official version of 4.1.1.

Like what he said; it's in the title of the thread / OP.
Though if you're looking for 4.2.x, they'll be only AOSP roms as of now. And please only flash sprint roms.

I was just looking at that one and considering it. Think I will! Thanks everyone. To update my prl, radio I need to flash back to stock and unroot right? Not sure if I need to do that or not..
You don't need to unroot, you just need to be on a TW rom for prl and profile update. To update modems(radios) just find a zip you can flash in recovery.
So I installed an EL29 repack on my boss' phone and I was thinking about getting him up to date on GB08. Can I just 1-click over the top of what he has? Or do I need to unroot him first?

One clicks clear everything. It will do no harm to use that. Now if you were planning to flash a custom ROM in CWM, that would be different.
Are you flashing the entire ROM and modem? Jb kernels and modems will not work with ics or gb.
You'd have to read the threads associated with the builds to find that out though...
Seems like a lot of questions that have obvious answers from someone with your "experience"
Why not flash him to CM10?

Have you updated from fk23 to gb27? I'm still using fk23 "rooted", and was thinking of updating it to gb27... I have the Samsung simple upgrade tool, because I can't use kies to update it... If you updated using the same method, did everything work out ok?... I'm not sure if this will harm my phone...

Back then when my device was running ICS, I updated my device to jelly bean 4.1.2 using the Samsung simple upgrade tool. It worked perfectly. Had no issues during the process. Afterwards, you simply root your device if you want, and you are good to go. Definitely recommend updating to the latest version GB27.
