Can I 1-click a previous repack? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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?

There is instructions on the development section. I'd link you but I'm on my epic, away from a computer.... you are going to have to search the threads for upgrading to ei22 from a rooted froyo rom, its easy though.

Why bother with the OTA? It breaks recovery. Just flash an EI22 ROM. Flash the EC05 to EI22 modem delta if you want that.
Do you have a stock one you recommend? I am looking for as close to what sprint has released as I can. I found the modem, just need the rest of gingerbread now.

Clean GB would be basic. I think the links are still up for the ACS deodexed ROM stock from the OTA. It basically had the GPS fix in it. I am on Legendary 4.01 and it is awesome.

Kinda want to stick with touchwiz (yes I know I am a gluton for punishment). So if I want 2.3 I get this feeling I am going to have to learn this ROM world. Yay...

If you mean you can flash a GB ROM from EC05 then yes or if you mean the EC05 modem works on GB ROMs then also yes. There is a EC05toEI22 modem delta flashable in the Development forum stickies.
Found what I needed from kennyglass 123
One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=deodexed+EI22
Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+OTA+EI22
I got gingerbread loaded I will look into the modem and the gps fixs later.
Thanks guys for your help!

Need ET4G Advice

Getting mine Monday 12/5 but seeing there are a few different ways to root and just found out about the LoS bug. So had a few questions I hope you guys can answer.
1) Watch Video of Odin root and is easy. Is this the the best root method or should I use/or try another one?
2) There are a few kernels and roms which say they fix LoS. Any advice on which would be better to use?
3) Wifi Tether does it work with 4G? And which works best? I ask because after 5 threads I really could not find a good answer. But I did research it.
4) Any ICS Roms for everydays use?
Thanks for any and all help.
1. Odin is the easiest by far.
2. Use the EK02 Modem as it fixes the issue
3. Most ROMs have a hacked Sprint Hotspot
4. No ICS
They are releasing a fix to LOS and we got lucky and Samsung pushed the update early to an XDA user. The devs worked together to pull the update and if I were you I'd flash the EK02 modem once rooted and use Calks 2.0 ROM.
There is an ICS port in progress, you can follow _viperboy_ n bubby323xda on twitter for it. But the post above is correct. For kernels I would just flash stock ek02 repacked cwm, and for a rom either calkin's or ek02 deodexed, but thats me.
If I was helpful, give thanks

1. I had used the Odin method its just 3 clicks and your done.
2.the LoS isn't too bad for me. I'm on stock rooted EK02 and kernal. Using EG30baseband
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Do not Odin the EK02 modem, it is meant to be flashed as it is just a patch to the EG30 modem. Just follow the OP in the EK02 thread in the Dev section.

Radio options??!???

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.

There is a new flashable radio from jelly bean leak..

How do you update to the latest build or baseband number?

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...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
We are legion, for we are many.

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.

Custom Kernels?

I just got the Epic4GTouch and i was wondering where the heck all the custom kernels were. You know the ones that help you start intergalactic war and such? Any help lol? Thanks

I don't remember is paranoid ICS? If so look for agat's 0.54 kernel it's his newest one. Its perfectly safe I've personally used it several times switching between GB, ICS and JB and never once had an issue.

El26 cwm. The easiest easy i have found to keep up is just reading the thread of the ROM. I mean that in all sincerity.
When in doubt, use el26.

EL26 CWM? Is that a stock kernel, custom? Who make that. Ill search it too! Thanks
Is right at the top of the link. Not sure if you're running the cwm6 with what you have now.
There's also the direct boot el29.
And depending on what you're doing can change recommendations.
Going from jb to jb, jb to ics, ics to whatever.. Etc.
But i stand by el26 cwm5 by chris41g if im going to recommend something.
Personally, i use agats and rj's kuban kernels. But I'm not usually running aosp or aokp builds unless i just want to try for a few hours.

No it doesn't work with JB. Your phone will not boot if you ODIN EL26 kernel. If you are looking for custom kernels for OC, UV, Governors, etc, etc for JB there are none.
