Alright so i've searched google forums, yahoo, bing you name it i've tried. So i'm here today posting my issue.
i've done everything possible and did all of the recommended instructions to installing a rom / flashing
a custom kernel compatible with the rom, so far this is what i did and has happened to me.
E4GT ( Sprint ) on stock rooted GB27 w/ agat's source kernel 1.3.0.
Mobile Odin'd EL26 to flash the FL24 modem ( I wanted to try some AOSP roms and needed Data )
installed ExtendRom's AoCP through DirectBoot EL29 CWM5. ( I used tdunham's x2 jb wipe before i flashed )
The phone booted up all the way, custom recovery from Extends AOCP rom was working fine when i accessed it.
Forgotten to do a PRL / Profile update for the fl24 modem.
so I nandroid back to GB27 rom, updated PRL and profile.
Reflashed AOCP using jb 2x wipe beforehand. and i gotten the buildprop error for SPH-D710 Sprint / D710BST / D710GC01
like flashing it didn't even recognized the phones model number, then at the end goten the Error status ( 7 ) which I know some times
the file is a bad download. But I haven't gotten the buildprop error before.
So i PC Odin'd stock rooted reset data for GB27 and for some reason now it wont let me install AOSP based roms and flash a custom recovery for the rom its built for. I've been flashing Agat's source built gb27 1.3.0 and sxtp's source built with agat recovery 0.5.0.
When ever i flash AOSP its the buildprop error with Status ( 7 ) and im always nandroiding back to stock rooted GB27.
When I try and flash a custom recovery for TW JB GB27 both mobile odin and PC Odin my phone gets stuck at the
Samsung Galaxy II screen ( The very first boot image before the actual boot animation. )
I can PC odin and Mobile odin the EL26CWM5 and EL29's DirectBoot Kernel just fine. But the problem is it can only flash
TW JB roms like its locked to that specific rom for flashing only.
When i flash a few tw jb roms like SGSIV or kobridge's tweaked. The roms built in kernels are not replacing the stock original kernel
like its locked.
So if anyone wants to try and help me troubleshoot my issue, that'd be awesomeness.
This is my current setup for now.
E4GT on update GB27. ( ROOTED )
ROM - Kobridge's DeOdexed Rom.
Modem / Baseband - GB27
Software version - GB27
Kernel - Official Stock GB27 ( Can't install custom or my phone wont even go past the first boot screen )
Thankies for replies.
Go to the modem repository in Android development get the gb27 tar and flash in Odin or mobile Odin, it's not booting because the kernels you said you flashed aren't jellybean kernels.
Edit: last time I used any of the jb tw roms they were keeping the stock kernel. As you probably already know this phone when flashing roms doesn't keep the recovery you were on, it uses what is packed into the kernel.

Stock kernel with custom recovery? Ive been trying to flash agats source kernel n recovery but it
just doesn't seem to want to stay >_<
And the modem / base is already on gb27
Every time you flash a new rom you get the recovery that is with that rom, so after flashing the jb tw roms you will have to Odin or mobile Odin the recovery, in your case you said your wanting agat

That's the issue. Even with the roms that have custom recovery, the stock official will still stick.
Like TBSGIV, It's already using Agat's source, But the Kernel + Recovery is still stock official when I
flash it.
Also I've never had the yellow triangle when i booted up my phone before and the flash counter never has
been ticked when i install recoveries via mobile or PC odin, but it's starting to tick the counter and the yellow triangle only shows
up when I try booting into recovery.
Also I'm trying to look for a kernel + recovery that disables stock recovery flash like how kobridge's rom has it. But I forgot which one
was it.

The ROM has the stock recovery baked in. You are using agat's to flash the ROM but the ROM flashes the stock recovery. That is how it has always been with TW JB ROMs

Thanks for all the help fella's, I got everything working now. I One Clicked back to FI27 ( Unrooted + Wipe Data )
Officially updated each OTA after that and then rooted.
Guess the phone wasn't fully completely wiped and the recovery from all stock / CWM / AGAT / TWRP / Rogue
didn't want to cooperate with me.

btw TBSGSIV 1.4 has agat kernel with recovery. I flashed the rom using CWM5 EL26 and I had agat's 0.3.5 recovery after.

Been running Blend from Team Noc for a bit and having a lot of core crashes, as well as some issues with notifications, etc. So I installed Blend 6.0 this morning and still had problems so wanted to try something else while those issues get fixed.
I went into recovery and this is a new recov I have never seen. It simply shows the android, then the following;
Android System Recovery <3e>
I was going to wipe using Caulk's and install another ICS ROM, so went to apply update from external storage (since that was the only option that made sense). Went to the folder they were, selected the format all and it took me back to the android guy on his back with a triangle!
So I am kinda stuck with this ROM unless I can get cqm back on (I guess). There are just so many threads that are out there, some old, some new, the sg2 has 5 flavors it seems based on the carrier (I am on sprint) so from what I can tell, it's the 4G touch.
Thanks to all read/replies.
use odin, instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609255
Just use mobile odin and select the tar file w/recovery. You tried to boot into recovery without a recovery installed which is why it looked funny.
Thanks guys. I followed the 1st post (as I didn't see the 2nd) and ran the step's using a windows machine. Odin saw the device, flashed it, all green, success, and restarted.
Followed up with the quick root/CWM app and worked like a charm. I am back to square one now, did install Venum Ice RC3.1.1 which looked pretty clean, but 1st thing I noticed was anything that uses the media card doesn't work (camera for example). You hit it, returns you to the app drawer.
So, with what's out there right now, what seems to be the most stable with the basic's, (phone, data, camera, etc.)
Thanks again, was well worth the wait to do it correctly!
I've been using CM9A3 as my everyday from. Solid as a rock. I have 0 issue.

I am also on Team Noc's The Goodness Version 6 without a custom recovery, and have a similar question. In that thread they were discussing using Odin to flash a kernel with CM, and they posted two kernals one that is the FD02 (ICS) and the other is EL29 (GB). I am currently on an ICS rom that works with the newly flashed FD02 kernal. However, my question is while on ICS can I odin to the GB recovery kernal so that I can flash a different GB rom? I am nervous to try because I have heard of people bricking going from ICS to GB, but if this works it would make my life easier as a flashaholic

Use Mobile Odin to flash EL26+cwm kernel( http://db.tt/0QJkleJR ), hold volume^+power to boot into cwm wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom, flash gapps, and reboot. People brick from using a ICS recovery to go back from certain ROMs. EL26+cwm is always the safest choice to flash with.

Yes you can mobile odin the el26 repack with cwm (not the rogue one) I believe its still at the top of the Nocturnal Venum rom thread. Flash in cwm and as it boots hold down the volume and power buttons. It should boot into the blue cwm. Flash whatever you want. Or mobile odin the el26 repack cwm and as it reboots hold the same buttons down to boot into recovery and flash away. El29 doesnt have a cwm repack (its rogue and not what you need). Keep in mind that mobile odin WILL NOT flash modem so dont try it.
Edit: The post above says basically the same thing. DO NOT use el29 kernel. Just reminding you...

Thanks for the quick response! Just a clarification, I do have the el26+CWM (el29 was a typo). Lets say I want to leave ICS for another rom, and a use mobile odin to go back to el26 and accidentally boot into my ICS sandwich rom. Is there any potential risk of bricking there? Also, what is the significance of flashing a modem? I already have an EL29 modem and I am happy with the current setup, do most roms/kernals have baked in modems? And if so should I avoid them when using odin?

You can't boot into a ICS ROM on el26 it is a GB kernel. Every ROM I have used has baked in kernel but no modem. Any modem for e4gt will work with any ROM. Kernels are GB and ICS specific.
Edit:el26+cwm is juts safer to flash ICS ROMs/kernels. When you flash a ROM it will replace the kernel. Just use mobile odin to flash back to el26+cwm to flash new ROMs/modems(wiping like usuall). If changing modem just flash el26+cwm, wipe cache/dalvik, flash modem of choice, and flash ICS kernel of choice. Reboot.

Thanks for the tips that makes a lot of sense! I am gaining confidence of going between ICS & GB. Now is it the same process for roms like AOKP, MIUI, and CM7/9? I have heard they also need specific recoveries to operate correctly.
Yes, el26cwm only and they only use aosp kernels. I believe T.C.P. has them on one of his threads.

I started out with (I believe) this rom- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323763 and all was good for months.
When the ICS rom leaked, I figured I'd try it, so I performed a backup in recovery mode and then flashed.
Now, Calkulin has an ICS rom and I wanted to play with that, however the leaked rom didn't have clockwork installed.
I grabbed Rom Manager, flashed CMR, and rebooted into recovery.
I had all the zips on my sdcard and went to flash the Calkulin wiper and the little droid started glowing and then fell over with a !. The log said that the signature couldn't be verified. I tried all 4 of his zips and none of them would flash.
So, I figured I'd just restore my old ROM backup... except that there is no backup/restore in recovery now. There is a restore section in the app, but it doesn't see any of my old backups.
My question is, is there a different recovery manager? Why can't I flash or restore?
you need to flash a custom ics kernel, like rouge, most ics roms should have this baked in already, however if not, you can flash it through odin via download mode, just put the rouge ics tar file in pda slot
Ok, so the leaked rom came with a stock kernel and that's bad...
Now I need to find the Odin flasher and rouge image.
Thanks
Mobile odin el26 with cwm. Rogue repacks are not safe to flash ROMs with. They can flash, but risk a brick. Use el26 and hold power+volume up to reboot into recovery. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvick, flash rom and gapps. Reboot and you will be good to go.

I just grabbed an ICS kernel off the wiki and it worked just fine.
No CWM with ICS roms.
afaik, none of the ICS roms have CWM bundled yet because CWM is unstable. Did you get CWM straight from ROM Manager, and it worked?
Actually, there is no bundled CWM because we don't have kernel source. EL26 was the last kernel with official CWM. DO NOT USE ROM Manager unless you want a brick.

Hey guys i just installed a GB27 rom and i am rooted by i cant find how to install a custom recovery like cwm or agat? how do i do this?
There are tutorials in the stickies of the development and general sections.
You will need to flash the GB27 stock kernel back once you are done with flashing whatever tweaks or mods you want.

Currently there is only a repack kernel and you do not want to stay on that for long... but here it is just flash it in Odin (or mobile Odin) and reboot into recovery. also, you may want to DL the stock kernel and flash that after your done flashing in AGATS.

I know there's a lot of information in the thread link in the quote you posted, but it discusses the known issue of the boot loops and the efforts to get the source kernels and the CWM/tRec recovery issues resolved.
With that being said; You're doing the right thing by using a known working recovery to bypass that issue when you want to reset and/or wipe.
Keep paying attention to that thread as Garwynn is working on it, and narrowing it down, and Agat will join in when he gets back.
I would suggest going back and reading that thread in it's entirety.
Long story short, something changed in GB27 versus other builds that causes data to be wiped in a way that permissions are not set properly and the kernel panics, resulting in said boot loop.
Here's the good news - the file system itself appears to be fine because I did a before/after and it can create files. Just throws all sorts of permission errors. If I can get a cable from home (and time at work today) I might build a test kernel without panic set in the fstab and for testing only. If not will have to wait until tomorrow for me to test.
Hey everyone, I have a few questions:
So I'm on stock GB27 (unrooted) but I am in the process of rooting it right now as we speak, so that shouldn't take long. What I want to do is get onto a safe recovery though to flash this ROM (Vanilla RootBox for E4GT), preferably EL26 recovery (which would be CWM 5.0.2.7 if I remember correctly) because I don't really know how safe AGAT's recovery is to use. The reason I bring up AGAT is because I use a lot of qbking's videos to get me through the rooting/recovery process and the one linked above is for AGAT's.
So I was wondering if anyone could help me get into a safe recovery from GB27 rooted so that I could flash the Vanilla Rootbox rom.
Thanks in advance.

EL26 is completely safe. Just download the Rom zip to your phone. Flash the el26 tar using pc or mobile Odin, reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik, flash rom, reboot, enjoy.
Edit: from the rom OP, says you have to flash gapps too. Basically, once in cwm just follow op from there. Good luck!

AGAT Recovery with stock kernel is not good to use.
The EL26 / DirectBoot EL29 Kernel + Recovery is the safest and recommended for flashing all because it's base is gingerbread
and it doesn't have the EMMC corrupt super brick bug.
I'm not entirely sure about Agat's SOURCE built kernel though, I think the source built kernel + recovery is safe for only flashing
mods and extra's. But I've never used it for wiping and flashing roms for GB27.
Tim did a video post on using AGAT's recovery source built kernel and he does say it is safe for only flashing
TW based Roms for the specific firmware it's for.
An example would be
Agat's GB27 Source Kernel recovery for only GB27 roms
or
Agat's GA10 source kernel recovery for GA10
etc
But for sure, it's best to use the safe recoveries or recoveries recommended by the Rom threads.
Hopefully this info helps a bit.

Your information is not entirely accurate. Agat's Kernel IS safe, and you can flash GB27 on GC01 and GB28 Roms as well as GB27. When source first dropped, there were quite a few bugs, however, those have been worked out, and Agat's is VERY good and can be used for a daily driver. It can flash Roms, mods, tweaks, can overclock/undervolt, backup/restore, mount usb, etc, etc. EL26/EL29 are still the default for most OPs, but if you flash a JB Rom, it is certainly safe to flash another Rom using Agat's...
Typically, when handing out advice to other members, you should verify that what you're saying is true. As was stated, you're not entirely wrong, the safe gb kernels are still recommended, however Agats is perfectly fine as well. Stay up to date on development before you spook people away from a perfectly fine kernel
I said agats recovery on STOCK KERNEL is not safe.
And I've been told that agat recovery is only used for flashing mods.
I've also stated I'm not to sure about flashing on agats source
when your switching between ROMs with different build version from GA10 to GB27.

Agats recovery on stock kernel is fine also, these issues were resolved a while ago. So I reiterate, please be up to date on development before making statements which could have a negative effect on a developers work. The majority of failures flashing between versions are user error (not checking md5, not wiping properly, not flashing properly, etc)
If they fail to follow directions, thats not the kernels fault, its theirs.
Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
Hey guys sorry if this is a noobish question but I am currently on GOODNESS JB ROM. Today I noticed that for some reason i don't have a custom recovery installed. So I need to flash a CWM but am not sure which one. The last time I made a nandroid I had flashed EL26+CWM using mobile Odin. Does that mean I need to find that same version of CWM but WITHOUT the EL26 kernel??? I don't want to mess up my phone as I do NOT have access to a computer. Thanks in advance.
Only JB kernels with recovery are GB27 that I've found. Goodness is FK23 I think? Garwyns 0.4.0 has cwm but all the others have Agats Recovery....I THINK...so be careful

Instead of flashing custom recovery, can I just go straight to flashing another ROM to get a working custom recovery? I can just mobile Odin EL26 and flash a different ROM like project X 4.2.2 and end up with a permanent custom recovery right?

For what its worth, that's the suggestions I've received.
