Fk23 vs Gb27 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Is there any differences? Is it worth the time to go official jelly bean update? Or should I just stay on leaked fk23 jb?

Have you updated from fk23 to gb27? I'm still using fk23 "rooted", and was thinking of updating it to gb27... I have the Samsung simple upgrade tool, because I can't use kies to update it... If you updated using the same method, did everything work out ok?... I'm not sure if this will harm my phone...

Why not just flash the stock rooted gb27 from Garwynn and sxtp developers?

Back then when my device was running ICS, I updated my device to jelly bean 4.1.2 using the Samsung simple upgrade tool. It worked perfectly. Had no issues during the process. Afterwards, you simply root your device if you want, and you are good to go. Definitely recommend updating to the latest version GB27.

The problem I'm having, is I'm not on ICS, but a leaked build of JB FK23, and I want to update it to JB GB27...

You don't have to update...just flash one of the many stock roms available in @rwilco12 repo

Well, thanks anyway for thinking of us.
The question is who can deodex this and not break market I tried one by Whitehawkx and then tried deodexing it myself and ended up FCs on swype and samsung keyboard plus broken market
this is old. but the question should be is there a rooted version deodexed
I was forced via OTA to install. Only bug I had after install was bootloop. so i factory reset, wiped cache and davlik and rebooted.
after that i used the Samsung Galaxy S II Toolkit Beta V2.3 from ajster1989. (thanks dude!!! works great!!!) flashed recovery and then rooted.
all seems to be working fine since yesterday. No market FC. Restored all my apps with Titanium and still no issues or FCs.
Running on stock kernel.
Now waiting for ICS on 6/11/2012 install from TMO.

UVLDE is the official update that dropped last week for gingerbread. It includes new, bug-fixed chipset drivers.

DDW is tweaked and debloated (among other things). The best thing the UVLDE update has to offer is the update to the Qualcomm chipset drivers...otherwise it's mostly just another official gingerbread firmware.
I wouldn't suggest doing any official updates from any unofficial firmware. If you want to do the official updates I'd recommend using Odin to return your phone to 100% official firmware before allowing any official update to be applied via Kies or OTA. I personally always use Odin or CWM recovery to apply all firmwares. I don't trust in-place upgrades to install without problems.

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.

Did you upgrade from 4.0.4 stock? And by stock, do you mean flashing the Google factory images for your device?

I just saw a thread where a guy had FCs for camera/gallery after flashing a custom ROM. By the looks of his logcat, the drivers for the camera got messed up somehow so Android can't start it. Could that be your issue as well?

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.

The latest official i believe is fh13, ICS not JB. There is a leak fh23 and fi03. I am on fi03 stock with root...
Having said that there are JB Roms but I've heard that they look great but are not daily use candidates yet...

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.

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.

Older stock roms?

Here's the situation, I've been looking for the older stock roms either 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 so I can get my msl.
I've exhausted the options out there for getting it with the apps, terminal, adb and so on, so I'm looking for a stock old rom in hopes ill get the msl, I've found links here and there but there all broken or updated with 4.1.2
Also think redrums lean 4.0.4 would give the msl?
Thanks.
