[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.

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.

Lost CWM Touch Recovery

I'm not sure how it happened but I lost CWM Touch Recovery. This was included with the install of the Hitman KErnal. Is there any way to get it back without odin?
ok so when I try to go into recovery it it will show clokworkmod 5.8.1.5 but then it will just jump straight and reboot the phone???

You can try flashing it with rom manager but I don't know if it will stick.

So when you go into recovery, it goes into boot without you doing anything?

Couple things.
1. Do NOT use rom manager with the SGSII e4gTouch. The kernel is tied to the recovery and NOT stand alone. You're begging for a brick if you do this using rom manager.
2. If you read the HITMAN thread, you'll see most of the folks are having the same issue. flash gunslinger or stock kernel with older CWM and you'll be back to normal. Prob. need to use ODIN.
3. For the OP, you posted the same issue in that thread where appropriate, was it really needed to do another thread with the same thing?

The new touch recovery seems to be nothing but problems. I flashed it with hitman and didn't like it so I went back to rogue recovery.

This person is correct given your situation I am pretty sure you are going to need to use Odin.

still new at this but have you tried the E4gTautoroot and flash the el29 stock kernel+cwm and then use cwm to reflash the Hitman kernel? You can use it as an alternative to flash an older cwm recovery and then update again

1. I didn't know that.
2. I tried to flash using odin but it kept saying something about md5 hash invalid, or something like that. Was not able to flash unless I was doing it wrong.
3. I think posted this thread before I saw other people having the issue in the other thread

do this:
1)go and search for the rogue stock rooted el29 recovery and download the zip
2) unzip it and with the zimage (forget about the other file)
3)do it into a tar file(should be as easy as doing a zip with winrar or winzip)
4) go to odin and use this file in the pda area and start it
this should solve it...worked for me

I think some people are over looking the fact that the OP asked darchstar if this thread was a good idea and darchstar gave him a green light. By that alone, I have no problem with this. There have been discussion threads in development forums in the past and if this clears up some of the garbage on the main page, then job well done. But please stop bashing the guy, he's clearly just trying to be helpful.

Fun with Odin, Rogue Recovery, GPS and ROMs

Hi All,
Love this community! OK, ran into a hiccup while trying to get GPS working on my CM10 Alpha:
-Was on CM10 Alpha with safe recovery (Alpha 4)
-Decided to fix GPS by flashing an EL29 ROM (Calkulin 3.0, which I gravitated to since he's legendary but I had never run his roms. I figured everything would be totally current since it's reputation seems to be the best)
-Got my GPS lock and everything was going fine
-Tried to boot into recovery but it flashes a Team Rogue sign and then just reboots into the main system
-Figured I'd mobile odin EL26 BUT there's a problem with the rom and I can't download an app from the market!
So:
1) Which ROM should I use to get my GPS lock that has a good recovery and will be good for re-flashing JB once I have a lock?
2) Since I'm still rooted, can I flash that ROM via desktop odin? If so, where are the best instructions on how to do that?
----(I typically follow QBKing's videos but my current train of thought has me flashing a stock rom, then re-rooting it and I feel like I should be able to do this with quite a few less steps since I'm already rooted)

You can download mobile odin apk from xda I think, pretty sure I got mine from here.
Personally I'd get lock with stock GB or stock ICS, install directboot EL26, wipe all and flash JB

Yes. There's a free version of mobile Odin on xda by chainfire but you have to download the flash kernel for the et4g listed as sph-d710 in post 5 or 6 of tthe mobile Odin thread, the free version won't automatically download the correct flash kernel like the pro version will. PM me if you need help or can't find the thread I have a copy of the free version in my box account and a link to the thread so u can post a thanks to chainfire :thumbup:

You'll be golden. For the wipe, it's never a bad idea to find and use the jb format x2. Have fun! The reason for flashing agat over the stock kernel is so that now you'll have recovery, as before when you had PB, before source dropped, that wasn't an option.

Sorry, I was under the impression that base bands corresponded with android version.
For example, I thought that EL26 was a kernel that needed to be ODINed to then run a ICS custom, if I had a GB ROM. If I wanted to run newer ICS ROMs I would have to ODIN and updated kernel like FH13. Thus if I wanted to move over to a current JB ROM I would need to ODIN GB27. I guess I was wrong.

EL26 from the repo(thank Rwilco12 and Chris41g) http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ls/Recovery Kernels/GB/Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR
is considered a "safe" kernel for flashing. Use mobile or pc odin to flash, reboot to recovery, clear cache/dalvik, flash jb rom, flash jb kernel(gb27 if your custom ROM is that build, can also be found in repo), reboot, should be good to go. First boot will take awhile. Good luck!

1. Flash the GB27 modem in recovery
2. Wipe (JB format x2)
2. Flash the TBGS4 rom in current recovery
3. Flash the GB27 kernal (GB27 + Agat's tRec)
Currently on ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2. (FH13, CWM 6.0, MetroPCS)

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. So do I need to flash EL26 and thus go through the steps mentioned? Or do I follow the steps in your first post (omitting EL26, but making sure I flash a modem)?

Seems like I am getting different answers but I guess I won't know what works without trying. I'll try tonight but becuase the above stock rom doesnt preserve data and I will need to reenable my MetroPCS service, it will take time but I will try to update with how everything went.

Well, I made it to stock GB27. I will post details on how I got there tomorrow. But for know, which JB roms do you recommend? I would prefer a TouchWiz one, thus I was looking at TBGS4, but any opinions are welcome. Thanks again.

How did you get to JB in the first place. I am having trouble with my E4GT . I can one-click to ICS but not to JB

There are several good ones out there. Shadow_God's Jellverse is super smooth, and has tons of mods thanks to SG and Tdunham. Goddly's White Out is also another good, stable, ROM. If you want JB stock, me and Febby both have GC01 rooted available that works just fine on Sprint or Boost, and in the same thread, I have a debloated version as well. Good luck!
