[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

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.

Im on starburst rom with zedomax v3..could i just flash the stock kernel and then flash this on top of starburst?

Awesome work. Does the Odin flash give you CWM as well? Or just SuperUser?

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.

Bootanimations not working? READ THIS!

Think you got a rom and/or kernel that has boot animation support but the animations just wont work?
You might want to head over here and read this....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31833122&postcount=4

I've used that not very long ago. That works great. I got my favorite bootanimation working on KT747 kernel using this.

Does the stock kernel/ROM support boot animations?

1.If you haven’t already, you should check whether or not your phone is able to play custom bootanimations.
2.Download this bootanimation.zip, I’ve made only for testing, and place it in /data/local or /system/media folder. Or flash this with CWM: CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip
3.Reboot, and if it’s still Samsung original booting sequence, it’s not enabled.
4.If you have a Samsung (touchwiz) based rom (stock), you can easily enable it with my cwm flashable zip, attached to this post.
5.Download both CWM_CustomBootanimation_Enable.zip and CWM_CustomBootanimation_Disable.zip, and place them at your internal sdcard. The reason I say you should get both, is because when trying out different animations, it can easily mess up the boot. If that happens it’s quite simple to just reboot into cwm, flash the disable zip, reboot, replace the animation with a working one, and reboot into cwm again and flash the enable zip. Should be easy for beginners.
**The test animation works for both ICS and JB**
Minimum requirements:
- CF-root with CWM
- Busybox
This has been reported working on:
[ICS]4.0.4 --> [JB]4.1.2
i9300, i9305, Sprint, Verizon and i747m devices.
Though there have been reported issues with the Sprint device.

[KERNEL] Permission problems rooted Galaxy S4

After I got my Galaxy S4, I immediately rooted it using CF-Auto-Root. I loved the rooted phone, but there were a few problems with the root permissions:
- SuperSU and all rootcheckers confirmed that I had root access
- ES File Manager would not let me use the Root Explorer feature, it ended with a "Sorry, test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone."
- A paid Root Explorer would let me modify the /system partition
- I could not start Complete Linux Installer, I got errors about permissions starting /root/init.sh
- "adb remount" did not work, even after "adb root". It did work when I used "adb shell" and then "su".
When I downloaded the kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com/ to make some adjustments, the problems did not disappear. After doing some research, I found the cause: http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/inspirat...galaxy-s4-and-its-new-secured-kernel-0146787/ If you change the lines after ## Samsung rooting ... in .config in the kernel source from =y to =n and then build the kernel, you'll get a system with full root permissions.
For those of you who aren't into building kernels, the same task can easily be achieved by flashing a custom kernel after having flashed CF-Auto-Root. The Adam-kernel from wanamlite (http://wanamlite.com/2013/06/21/adam-kernel-galaxys4-lte-v1-4/) for example. I included a boot.img for flashing with mobile odin, it is a new kernel with only the root permissions fixed. Don't flash the attachment zip but extract it and then flash it with mobile odin, the .img was too large for me to upload. If you get stuck at the logo, reflash the stock firmware from http://sammobile.com/ via odin, you won't loose your files, and leave a comment.

I smell a new developer

nice tip :good:

Used mobile odin flash the boot.img ended can't turn on wifi. Other all worked. So flashed back adam 1.4 kernel.

This is the newest kernel from http://opensource.samsung.com/ with the ramdisk extracted from the xxub firmware from Germany. The kernel shouldn't be firmware dependent though.

Hey!
I'm having some trouble even installing roms really... I used CF-Autoroot and it seems fine but when I try to install anything in either twrp or cwm it won't mount different folders and I get different kinds of permission messages!
Any idea what that could be?

I dont think the problems you experience flashing roms have anything to do with the kernel (because the kernel hasn't been loaded yet). When I flashed CyanogenMod on my S4 I had problems too with "set_perm" in custom recoveries, but trying to flash it over and over again solved it.

Yeah, keeping pushing it seemed to work for me as well (until I got it all ****ed up somehow later on) but I'm kind of looking for a solution because I can't believe it has to be the way to do it...

Once you flash a kernel, you will lose root. You need to re-root the device again after flashing flar2's kernel.

I saw the note about that in Flar2's thread, so I reflashed SuperSU 1.5.1 immediately after flashing the kernel, it still wouldn't work. I ended up installing a different ROM with the 4.3 AOSPBrowser built iin, but I'm running into a similar problem where I can't install the Chrome bookmark sync...I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

[Q] How can I use Multiboot? MultiRom?

I saw on a thread that someone was using "Multiboot" to run CM11 as their daily driver but also having TW on it to use for WiFi calling and such.... I want to ask:
Was this a fib?
If not then how can I do it?
Is there a guide I can look at?
If it is possible then I would like to run CM11 and TW 4.1.2, I already have the images and ODIN for that. I never updated to 4.3 so I don't think that is a problem?
If you have help please quote my post so I can get a handy email of the response ^-^
Thanks

Good morning.
This describes me. I use CM as my daily driver but I use z999 Touchwiz ROM as a backup for the wifi calling.
Quick questions: are you rooted? Have you flashed a custom ROM/recovery before? Your answers will help me in answering your questions on how to do.

Get the AT&T version 2.12 - it has a fix in it for the External SD card that appeared in 2.11. While it's an AT&T recovery, it'll work fine on our phones as the TMO and AT&T S3 are the same phones.
Once you have the file, flash it via CWM and you'll have a MultiBoot TWRP as your recovery. The thread for the MultiBoot Recovery has a couple of Youtube videos that walk through setting up additional ROMs. I'm currently using z999 (Odexed 4.1.2 TW ROM) as my backup ROM to use for Wi-Fi calling.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you, I'll try this tonight. I searched multiboot online but didn't find anything and Tapatalk doesn't have a good search function :/

For some reason, on the 2.11 version, I couldn't get the secondary ROM to see my external SD card. I backup all of my apps there - it was a pain to copy my backups to the internal SD card. There were a lot of comments about the issue on the AT&T forum and the developer put out a new version (2.12). However, he never put out a version for d2tmo - only d2att. So, I messed around with the install script and loaded the newer recovery on my phone. External SD problem solved.

Okay so I am researching how to do it and I believe I understand BUT the T-mobile TW file I have has to be flashed through ODIN, it's not a zip, and I want CM to be my stock ROM. So I was searching for a 4.1.2 TW rom (I prefer that version) and couldn't find any zip files...
Do you know how to help me? Do you know where to find a stock .zip flashable through recovery?

I followed all the instructions to use multiboot and I got the z999 touchwiz rom on there but then it wouldn't "find" my CM rom that was already on there so I ended up formatting and having no OS, so I tried to sideload but the multiboot stuff messed it up so I'm using ODIN to go back to stock >.> this has failed miserably.

The multi boot recovery won't "find" your CM ROM - it will always be the "internal" ROM. Multi boot will only show secondary ROMs in the multi boot menu. Anytime you want to boot CM, just boot the internal ROM.
Give me some time and I'll do a video on how to set up multiple ROMs.

Thank you! I'm gonna try it again today and see how it goes. Maybe I got confused because when I rebooted the phone it booted TW no matter what and I couldn't get it to boot into CM...there was no option to boot internal or whatever...

@Bass_Man25 I finally got it working!
I couldn't install it on the internal storage directory. So I ADB pushed the files to the /tmp folder and installed it off that and I finally have it working!

Would it be possible for me to use a 4.3+ ROM using multiboot? I have the old boot loader or whatever that came with 4.1.2 along with those modems etc.
If it's possible to run a 4.4.4 aosp ROM on the old boot loader how come you can't run newer versions of TW? If there is a ROM I can use along 4.1.2 that'd be nice.

TW roms have Knox.

To be honest, I don't know. From what I've read, some of the 4.3 ROMS don't play nicely with MultiBoot. I haven't given it a try yet. If you're willing to give it try, please let me know what you find. The good new is, if you try it as a secondary ROM and it doesn't work, you can just delete it.
