[Q] How to root EK02 on Mac?

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

Anyone? Please...

not sure what you are asking..
If you are rooted already, just install a rom that is EK02
If you are not rooted, just root as you normally would, then install a EK02 Rom..

Korey, I think you would Odin a kernel with recovery and flash superuser.zip.

Oh crap, my fault...forgot the Mac part. Did you try Heimdall? I have read posts that its working for others but I have never used it

I assume you can get CWM onto your phone using your Mac. If so then just follow steps 3&4 of this post
3) Use CWM to install calkulin/chris41g's [STOCK] EK02 ROM (rooted) + EK02 Kernel (CWM5 repack)
4) OPTIONAL - Flash EK02 Modem
- This only works if you currently have EG30 modem - ie don't do this if you have EG12 or EG31 modems
- You can tell what modem you have by going to menu->settings->about phone->baseband version
- Once you go to EK02, you can only go back to EG31 or EG12. You CANNOT go back to EG30
- Use CWM to flash EK02 modem from qbking77's [Modem] EK02, EG31, EG12

Do you know how to root the phone using a mac? If not heimdall does work. You need to be comfortable using terminal and it's very easy once you know what you are doing. I rooted my phone using Max's kernel v3 with CWM. It's a thread for it in the development section.

Question about the new calkulin's 2.7 update

Hi,
I just got the E4GT and after doing the root installed the Calkulin's 2.6 rom after upgrading the modem to EL13, today I loged in and found the 2.7 update which is based on EL26.
My question is should I just flash the rom itself ? , will it also update the modem to EL26 or I have to do it seprately, I will appriciate any help or steps involved for the update thanks and happy new year to all

I just flashed Caulkins v2.7 from v2.6 and it shows the modem as EL26. I was running EL26 before the flash though... If you flash v2.7 and want to change the modem all you need to do is install the zip file for the modem you want found on the Caulkins 2.7 main thread.
Just remember to backup everything before you get flash happy!

The only way a modem will change is if you Odin flash one or via an OTA update.

What about updating the modem via flashing a .zip file using CWM or a similar recovery? When you say odin flash I think about using the odin terminal from my computer. Are the CWM flash and Odin flash not accomplishing the same thing?

Yes you can do it from CWM. You can get them here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352310

Ok that's what I thought. Thanks!

im running cal 2.7 right now. i have go launcher ex as default. its updated to current but when i try to install the notification plug-in thats for this which on the market it says it is. when i go into the settings and try to select which i would like notifications for it says app not installed/found? ive uninstalled and re-installed 1-2 times.. any help? or any other slight "problems" or interferences?

I don't user go launcher as my default so I don't have alot of experience with it... However, when I go to settings in go launcher and check/uncheck notifications it doesn't give me any issues. Did you clear your cache before you flashed cal 2.7? That could be an issue...
Also note that notifications for gmail don't work in the latest go launcher due to google api changes.

[ ROM ][ ODIN ] Leaked ICS IML74K FB17 & FB15 4.0.3 Builds for Epic 4G Touch

PLEASE UNDERSTAND, THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL BUILDS FOR A REASON, THERE WILL BE BUGS, SO DON'T WHINE IF YOU FIND ONE, FIND A FIX INSTEAD
Here are the complete tars for the FB15 & FB17 builds. Since FB17 didn't include a modem, I included the FB15 modem.
Special congrats to the ACS team for the FB17 build(& FB09) and to my anonymous source for the FB15 build.
Also side note - If you having issues with drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers worked for me
Extract tar first, then flash tar file through the PDA option in Odin
D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB17_CL159611_REV02_user.tar.7z
D710_CODE_SPH-D710.FB15_CL143880_REV02_user.tar.7z
E4GT_Sbl_EG31.tar - Flash afterwards to allow reset jigs to work - Flash through the PDA option in Odin
And for those that just want the modem, here it is
E4GT_Modem_FB15.zip \ E4GT_Modem_FB15.tar - Zip must be flashed through a CWM based recovery & Tar must be flashed through the PHONE option in Odin
FAQ
If your having issues with Odin recognizing the phone after flashing this, use these instructions
Go to device manager, right click on the unknown device, update driver, click browse, let me pick from a list, select all(wait till it loads), find Samsung Co and install one of the ones that have modem in the name

Awesome. Thanks Calk!

i believe so
does anyone have any input on how good the modem is

Thank you for this and for using Mediafire

These break root right? If so, how do we get root back? Can we flash a different recovery and restore a nandroid? Or install a zip while in recovery?

[NEW][KERNEL] CM9 FF11 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1

There was a request (more than one) via PM to repack CM9 kernel with my recovery. I know there is a better recovery available but I liked the challenge and decided to give it a try.
With help from Chris41g I was able to make this repack.
Base of this repack is CM9 FF11 kernel.
Everything and anything that worked in FF11 kernel should be working here.
Never used CM before so I have hard time testing repack.
So far I have noticed 3 things.
1. 4G is not turning on.
2. When I mount usb I see only external SD card. Internal storage is not showing up.
3. In settings when I try to go to storage settings.apk is FC.
Other than that everything is working (I think).
Recovery is CM7 (GB) based and has been tested very extensively with TW roms and modified CM/AOSP/AOKP roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27124691&postcount=484
We some help I hope to fix those 3 bugs as well but for now I think you can use this repack as alternative if you want to.
Links for tar and zip files:
1. FF11_CM9_AGAT.tar flash with ODIN or mobile ODIN
2. FF11_CM9_AGAT.zip flash in any unlocked recovery.
I have tried both. Flashed tar with mobile odin and flashed zip file with CWM recovery.
If you guys like it I might need some help to finish this project and make sure everything is working.

reserved just in case

Yay First!

This is definitely thinking outside the box. Excellent as always and makes me feel safer to flash cm9. Thank you sir. Live the way you think.

Sorry I crashed, glad you got it up and running ;-)

As I stated in OP I don't know much about CM.
I took whatever kernel was available.
Gimmi FF18 CM kernel and I'll repack it as well.

Also, I'd like to know the recovery that you're using to get the Status 7. Sounds like you're using Rouge. Hopefully you know to not use those anymore.

As patrao_n said, use el26 cwm or an Agat kernel/recovery and try. Let us know how it goes..
Since you can't flash, use Odin or mobile odin to get to one of those recoveries.

I will definitely try that when I get home. I can flash recovery with no problem I was able to reflash my current recovery without any issue but I still have the same error when trying to flash my ROM

You said you wrre able to flash your recovery again. Are you only flashing a recovery or are you flashing a kernel?

With this phone the kernel and recovery are together, unlike other phones.
