[ACS][Odin]Stock EG30 Deodexed with Root 3.0/Busybox 1.18.4

Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Deodexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.
Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

reserved just in case

reserved again

Awesome crawrj. You do great work.

Dumb question..... Will this flash the stock kernel that was released with the phone or is this the stock kernel source that is available from Samsung? Awesome Work sir!

This does not contain a kernel. This is a stock file system that is rooted with busybox. I have tested on the root kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel. I have not tested on the Zedomax kernel.

Cool thanks!

File is up.

My phone is not rooted. If I flash this I will be rooted with the Kernel that was on the phone out of box? Also if I then flash Clock work recovery will it change the Kernel to the one others are claiming LOS on?

That is correct. It will be just like flashing with the stock kernel which I have done. If you flash CWM it will change the kernel. Whether or not you get the LOS is up in the air. I have been using it for days and haven't had it yet.

Just so I have this straight, this is a stock rom, no kernel, deoxed so once installed I can flash a theme over it.
I flashed buddies kernel with cwm rooted and flashed back to the stock kernel is there anything I need to do with my kernel or can I just flash this rom?
Edit: he beat me to it, must have been typing at the same time.

Ok...so the only way to have CWM is to change the kernel? I guess rom manager doesn't work for flashing CWM? Sorry if its a stupid question but I have been all over these threads for a week trying to decide which way to root and which way is better.

thanks bro.. One more question does this wipe internal sd card?

This does not have the kernel. I left it out for people to make their own decision on what kernel to use. Once we get a completely stock kernel with stock CWM I will update it. But for now it is just the system partion.

[Q] Problems installing kernels

Hey guys. I'm having some issues installing kernels. I'm aware of how to do the process but aside from the CWM kernels and the stock kernel that's installed when you odin back to stock every other kernel I flash results in a boot loop.
Things like ROMS and zips install fine in CWM but as long as the file has a custom kernel I get boot loops.
Anyone have any idea how I can go about fixing this so I can install ROMs on my phone?

Can anyone help? Plz???

Probably because your well on your way to bricking your epic.. kernels are rom specific just cause theres many out there doesnt mean you can flash anyone over any rom..
I wouldnt really play with cwm just yet phones to new... alot people are bricking this device fasst ..I was one of them.
If u wanna play safe use stock rom with zedomaxepicv3 1.6 oc kernel flash that tar in odin after u go back to stock eg30.tar
give development some time ..let others go through trial and error.
Spare your device she will brick trust me.

Nothing that I'm doing should result in a hard brick with this phone. The issue isn't that I'm flashing different kernels with any random ROM. It's that ROMS don't install properly because of the issue my phone is having with kernels.
I've tried to install Zedomax's latest kernel immediately after going back to the stock eg30 tar before and I wasn't able to do that either. It resulted in me getting a boot loop as well (that had to then again be fixed by flashing the eg30 tar).
It's a weird issue that I don't see others having on the forum and honestly I think it's possible that it might be a small fix such as flashing a particular tar or possibly formatting some area of the phone, but I'm just not sure how to address the issue.

Heres what u do worked for me ok
Step by step
Go to stock with eg30.tar its a 435-450mb file
Use the odin version 1.85 reccomended
Enable usb debug on epic
Get into download mode
Only select pda and choose the zedomaxepic v3 1.6oc kernel it is a tar file should be in android dev section or google it.
Only selct auto reboot should already be checked in odin , do nothing else and do not use any pit file.
Then you should get a successful flash then phone boots up as galaxy s 2, gt 19100 with a yellow triangle that means it flashed
Thats exactly how i did it.

Yes samsung is known for that once ur on a kernel made for the device bit its really from a diff phone cause zedomax is a gti9100 kernel i a way u cant flash rom zips over a custom kernel
You can only use rom zips over stock kernel
The only way to flash zips is be on stock rom stock kernel first.
The best method is odin not cwm

If I do this process in the order you have it here then when I try to install Zedomax's Kernel it hangs at zimage in ODIN and I have to disconnect the USB. The kernel never flashes and it stays on the official Samsung kernel.
This stuff is frustrating

Weird weird... It shouldnt hang anywhere as long as u see yellow com port in odin and you have correct tar put into pda only dont unzip anuthing just put download into winrar choose pda and select the downloaded tar.. When done itl say pass in green
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App

Make sure its the complete prerooted zedomaxepic v3 1.6 kernel no other version and it must be a .tar file not zip . In pda only let it sit sometimes it will fail keep trying but make sure ur on stock rom first..
That kernel willl give u over clocking ..root and cwm recovery all in one

I know what to expect in ODIN during a correct flash, I've used it multiple times, but for whatever reason, that particular tar file always end in a hang at zimage.

I have the right file. And I already know how to obtain root and CWM with the few kernels my phone can flash (Which now that I think about it are mostly stock kernels with slight modifications). Overclocking isn't that important to me but overall my main problem is that when I'm in CWM I can't fully install ROMS. They install but do not flash over correctly/completely and cause boot loops. Other zips flash fine.

I've tried multiple USB cables, all result in the same thing. I've tried to flash the stock pack with CWM that you're talking about before and that works fine. i was able to root afterwards and everything but once I tried to install a ROM when I'm on that kernel. I get the same thing, boot loops.

are you sure its bootloops and not just taking a long time? because rebuilding the dalvik-cache can take a while and loop the bootanimation..

I can't imagine rebuliding the dalvik-cache should take in excess of 10 minutes or more (if it can, correct me). It just hangs at the Samsung Boot Animation that has the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.
(I've left the phone on for about 15-20 mins before at this screen) I can only then access download mode,nothing else. No recovery and no booting.

Maybe just stay stock for now till development furthers..

I'm not experiencing the boot issues but, I found there is a lot of information out there regarding kernels and rom's. This is good stuff here. By doing this method, will it root the phone? After doing this, I would like to get rid of the yellow triangle. Mostly just annoys me. Is there an easy way to do that?
I see a method chris41g provided for doing it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297999
Is it possible to just use that stock tar and then use zedomaxepic v3 1.6oc kernel? Or is it the kernel that causes the triangle?
Sorry for so many questions. I'd like to do this once and do it right the first time. I came from the Bonsai ROM on the Epic 4g. It has been a while since I have had to do this.
Thanks for your time.

The kernel is pre-rooted so, yes it will root the phone.

I've had to go back to stock multiple times. Every time I've tried to flash a ROM it's run into a boot loop and the only way that I can access the phone again is to ODIN back to stock, install one of the few kernels I can that has CWM and restore a backup. The kernel you mentioned in your post is one of the few my phone will take but others like the Lost Kernel and Zedomax's OC ones will send the phone into a boot loop.

Help with root!

Ok, So i've successfully rooted my epic 4g touch and I successfully installed the rogue CWM found on this forum. Now whenever I try to flash the CM7 zip (trying to get AOKP), it will only boot into CWM and the phone won't boot. I've tried re-rooting, wiping dalvik (gives me volume patch error), and wiping cache, etc.
Any help?

And by that I mean flash it twice successively, one after the other. Should fix you up. Let us know if that doesn't work.

I've done that. It didn't work.

You don't need to install CM7 to install AOKP.
Try this: ODIN to stock EL29, use one click root (choose option C, then I (this'll root your device and give stock CWM recovery)).
Then boot into recovery, flash AOKP, gapps and FD02 modem if you'd like.

Really? Interesting. Ok well most people are actually flashing AOKP and Codename from the EL26 CWM that is linked in the OP of those threads. That is actually how I have flashed over 15 times with different builds. So if you can Odin EL26 with clockwork mod you should be able to flash AOKP after you flash a calkulin format all to wipe all relevant partitions and don't forget to install Google apps.

Yes, root works a bit different on this phone. Pretty much every single rom available will provide with root and superuser when it is installed via some sort of custom recovery or Odin. Odin is actually a very safe and convenient method of flashing.

Hmm that's strange. A lot of people definitely have the fast zip installing issue but when they flash it for the second time without ever rebooting recovery or the phone it takes a good 15+ seconds to flash and it successfully writes to your phone and boots up. Going back to stock certainly can't hurt. Perhaps start from there.

Can't get ROMs to boot

Not sure what's up, but all of a sudden I can't flash custom ROMs anymore. None of them boot. All I can do is odin OC stock Touchwiz roms, but any CWM flash of a ROM I do doesn't boot.
They worked until yesterday when I tried flashing the Rubix xcel rom v1.0.1. Every ROM before that flashed until I tried to flash that one and it just bootlooped. Never every flash does it.
And yes, download mode works and all touchwiz builds work when flashed through odin. Now i'm worried I won't be able to flash any custom ROM like the Sense 4 ROM if it comes out or any ROM built from source and only stock TW ROMs.

Did you flash format_all?

I was using the el26 CWM kernel. What should I try?

Btw, I've been flashing the el26 cwm kernel while on FD26 stock ROM. I've been able to flash without issues previously as I said so it shouldn't be the issue.

Have you tried other roms then that one?? There is a chance that ROM version doesn't boot.
Different recoveries shouldn't really make a difference in this case. You could try wiping data after a flash and see if it boots. Really shouldn't make a difference but I'm not sure why otherwise wiping and flashing a rom that should boot isn't.

I've tried rubix and EpicTouchAOSPmod (the latter I've used before) and AOKP today (used it before too). Neither booth and I even tried installing rubix 3 times.

I would suspect your rom downloads as a likely culprit.
Are you downloading them directly to your phone, external or internal sd, copying them from pc (usb problem causing glitches during copy)? Check md5 of roms if they are available also. Just a few ideas.
Edit: I could go so far as to format both your internal and external SD's from the storage menu of the phone (after you backup your stuff of course). Or pop out external SD and run it without as a test too.

Maybe later on I'll try odin to el29 then flash kernel with cwm then flash rom.

Yes, Odin to stock (GB preferably) flash Calks format all, (download a current copy I had an older one and discovered it didn't work), flash the rom. You know the drill.

Its possible, I would go back to totally stock EL29 GB.. Here is my canned Sfhub howto easy instructions, not that you need them :
1. Download to your pc SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Boot the phone up into download mode, connect the phone to your pc and run that file. Wait for the phone to reboot.
Download to your pc the e4gtauto-sfx.exe from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Run this file so it can self-extract.
USB Debugging must be ENABLED - [Menu->Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging]
Click on "runfirst" from within the folder that gets created (the e4gtauto self extracts to a folder, can't remember what its called)
Your phone will already be rooted from the first file so click on "option C", then on the next page, click on "option J" for the rogue cwm and let it finish!
2. Save these instructions, you may need them again someday!
This will give you a totally FRESH copy with a stock rom.
This stock rom will already be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.

Only have download?

Hey, I rooted my GS3 and installed cm10, but it was very buggy so I tried to reflash stock. As of right now I can get into download mode and that's it. I tried reflashing stock but idk if I'm doing it right.

I'm not really sure what the problem is, but did you use the correct stock rom for Tmobile? And you did it through the download mode by holding down button, home, and power right? Just making sure it wasn't clockwork or twrp.

Did you do a factory reset in recovery?

I uses the unrooted, plain old tmo firmware. Yes, I see the "Downloading, do not turn off target!!" message.

I am unable to access recovery.
If I could get to CWR I'd be okay.

I flashed an insecure boot and now it just stays at the glowing samsung logo.

That's one of the reasons flashing back to stock can be hard. Try flashing the stock image that is injected with a custom recovery (cwm I believe) found in the developers section.
Wiping during this operation is crucial so as not to get stuck in a boot loop

How do I wipe it from download mode?
Where do I find this file? I always flash them separately.

In the stickies in the developer section
Root no tripping the flash counter

Barret,
Be patient. Wait for 3-5 minutes after boot.
Once it's done, see this --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999922

Thanks everyone, here's how I fixed it:
I flashed the stock rom without auto reboot and then pulled the battery.
Then, I flashed CWR without auto reboot and pulled the battery again.
After that, I could get into CWR so I flashed cm10 and a different google apps package than last time.
I don't have any cm10 bugs now. It would crash acore alot and stock apps like messaging wouldn't work.
Thanks for the help everyone, I'm set now.

Do you know what was wrong with the first Google apps package that you flashed? Did you get the 4.1.2 one from goo.im?

Yeah, that's the one I used. Dialer, contacts, and messages would crash immediately and process.acore would stop responding constantly.
I tried Defy GAPPS instead and that worked.

Weird isn't the one from goo.im the one that most people use? I wonder what went wrong with yours.

Idk, I flashed CM and then the goo.im apps. I'm sure I had the right ones.
