New user E4GT , need some help. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey guys, I just broke my galaxy nexus (fell in the pool) and a buddy gave me his old E4GT to use.
I did my research around this forum and found a ton of different things.
What I've done so far:
Wiped the phone and rooted using odin for FL24 which is the stock ICS build on the phone.
What I want to do:
Flash CWM recovery
Flash a Stable rom
I've been reading about a few unstable kernel issues around the forum and I'm a bit confused.
I would really appreciate the help with this Thanks

You should know that in order to flash a ROM, you need to flash a safe gb kernel, EL29 directboot or EL26 CWM,do you know about the emmc bug?

Since I dont see a specific question, check this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953783

There are a ton of really stable builds in android development, and most have cwm built in. Jellyverse is a kick a** ROM, but doesn't have cwm, but it's easy enough to flash that after you load the ROM. Good luck.

ROM
Well if you're looking for a stable ICS ROM, I can definately recommend the Blue Kuban FL24/FI27 ROM. All you need to do is boot into a safe kernel (http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html), then boot into it (MAKE SURE YOU ARE ROOTED AND HAVE FILES ON YOUR PHONE, FAILURE TO DO SO WILL PUT YOU IN BOOTLOOP), then wipe data/factory reset, and then flash the rom (if you want the Blu Kuban ROM, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535). And you should be :good: to go.

*Note* After you flash the rom using the EL29 Directboot (which is needed to be flashed either through Desktop Odin or Mobile Odin), the ROM will automatically install a safe recovery after the ROM flash.

Thanks for the link to the newbie thread (missed it) also thanks for clarifying on the EL29! Right now I'm installing JellyVerse

Rogue Recovery. What else is there? lol..

I find it completely hilarious that this phone and the development makes no sense.
Like this thread for example. the OP says not to flash with Rogue Recovery, yet THERE IS NO OTHER RECOVERY OPTION AVAILABLE? lol..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553591
why hasn't anyone said anything to anyone? I've been flashing ICS and GB with Rogue Recovery no problem.
Is this just to frustrate people for fuN
If there is another Recovery available only to the super leet, then fine, but stop saying you can't use the ONLY RECOVERY AVAILABLE. makes no sense. at all.

Really, that's the sentence you want to use to speak out about something that, in your words, makes no sense?
Also, it would seem they explained how to flash it, not using rogue recovery.
2. Clockwork is the preferred method of flashing this ROM.

I guess I don't understand what you are struggling to understand.
Folks usually recommend using EL29 or EL26 with stock CWM. It's not a "secret" or anything.

I tried to edit it , but I had to wait for 5 minutes due to the over bearing neo-nazi - protection this forum has in place.
It's not the same quality forums from 2010 anymore, That's for sure.
Anyhow, I thank you! Thanks for contributing and answering my question. You're a big help.
Just thought I'd add, I believe in past builds you had the ability to flash using stock recovery but that had been disabled by Samsung, so maybe that's why they mention rogue by name?
Stock ClockWork Mod recovery is available. In fact Rogue Recovery is based off of ClockWork Mod...
The only recoverirs in question are ics rogue recoveries. When wiping it causes some bricks. All gingerbread should be great. Its only ics . But now that you bring it up I will wait for yours. You seem to be awesome at deving right? Cool can't wait!

EL26 and before had both Stock CWM and CWM-ACS chris41g.
I don't remember the earliest CWM-Rogue, but that is the only one being repacked with current kernels as chris41g hasn't checked back in a while.
When people refer to stock CWM, not Rogue, they are usually referring to the stock EL26 CWM repack that chris41g put together.
You can find a collection of stock CWM and Rogue CWM in the Auto Root package. I never packaged in ACS recovery.

And it's only the versions after 1.2.1 that were having issues. Even then must people aren't having issues but due to the isolated instances Steady decided to play it safe and past the warning.
Also, the majority of the issues involved using the Rogue Recovery with CyanogenMod Alpha builds in some form or another (and the alpha builds come with their own slew of warnings).

Someone PLEASE link me kernels

So I've searched up and down through the forum and can't can't any kernels. No lists, or any. I'm looking for ktoonz and agats but can't find any post for it besides ROMs having it built in. Someone mind posting the links for me? Wish someone could make a post with all kernels links and tweaks and hacks
Really??

If a Rom comes with stock kernel, just reflash the Rom.
You may be able to pick apart the freegs3 v3 zip. In the aroma installer it gives the option for ktoons,agat and guess what stock kernels.

The fact that this thread has made it this far..
Dude how did you even root your phone for real?
Find freezas stock Rom thread, the kernel is in there. In a zip. Ps there's only one stock kernel and your probably already running it considering you didn't even know where the custom kernels are. Please learn to use the search key, because you can easily type in sprint s3 stock kernel and easily find it.
Have a nice day

Install ROM E4GT FL24

Hello all....
yesterday I rooted my phone with this video
http://www.qbking77.com/development/root-the-samsung-epic-4g-touch.html
originally have stock FL24 ICS 4.0.4
Now i want install a ROM.... but what is better..??
and how i can do...?
also I can install CyanogenMod with FL24 ??
Regards...
Yes you can install CyanogenMod over FL24 4.0.4 ICS. However you need to read the CM threads.
To start you need a safe recovery such as EL26CWM or the EL29Directboot and a PC that you can use Odin to flash the recovery. Direct boot does exactly what it says, once it has been flashed successfully it will boot into recovery. EL26 you will need to hold volume up + power until you see recovery.
Then wipe data/factory reset. Install zip from SD card, select the location it was downloaded to. Select the ROM, and select yes. Now flash the appropriate Gapps. Reboot and profit!
Now that I've done my part, BTW this is a question and all questions belong in the Q&A section. This is the wrong section for questions. Prepare your diddly hole cause the fire has been lit underneath it.

any solution?
I think your solution would be to spend some time reading through these sections, reading the stickies and all followup posts 1st.
Then reading through the OP of the ROM you wish/are trying to use and then read through all the followon postst there.
The rate you're going you are going to paperweight your device.
Then maybe try the search button.
Seriously there is a TON of information out here.
Also note that just about everything in here comes with caveats, warnings and other provisos and your mileage may vary. The devs and contributors here are fantastic and really provide a whole lot of support but I know they get tired of seeing the same questions asked over and over ad naseum.
Good luck.

Please do not ask for a better rom. It is against the forum rules.
Check this intro guide for ur device:

I have also asked the mods to move ur thread to the correct section. Hopefully, someone with ur device will help u out there.

In order to flash a new rom you will need a custom recovery/kernel.
This can be done using mobile odin, find the kernel you wish to use, download the tar and zip files for it.
Open mobile odin and select the kernel slot, navigate to your kernel and select the tar file (zips will not be displayed in mobile odin).
Scroll down to flash firmware and allow the phone to reboot.
Now find your desired rom and download it.
Once you're ready to flash you need to enter recovery mode (vol up + power simultaneously until it reboots to recovery screen) there is also an app called Quick Boot in the play store that will boot into recovery mode (free and paid versions available)
Once in recovery, navigate to your desired rom and flash.
Be warned, some if not most roms available include the stock kernel, so you will need to reflash the kernel using the zip you downloaded earlier.
DO NOT flash any mods, tweaks, etc in the same session as your rom, kernels are fine, but anything else and you're asking for trouble.
Hope this helps answer your questons:good:
Thank you so much for taking ur time to give me that information
i really do appreciate it.

No recovery on aokp rom

I'm using the aokp mildstone 5 rom and it doesn't have a custom recovery. I tried flashing stock cmw5,ff18,stock rogue,el26,stock twrp. Every one that I flashed on it doesn't work when I go to reboot sys it won't reboot the rom or it will do the android is updating apps but when it finishes it just freezes.Also it won't run google play services or play store they both force close had to download the apps that I needed manually from dev-host.I like this rom and want to back it up but no recovery works and it sucks not being able to use play store
Wow that's an old version of AOKP. I would flash EL29 directboot kernel via Odin. Then flash this more recent version of AOKP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45539481&postcount=223

Yeah I know I'm the one that has the phone that won't flash jelly bean roms all of a sudden..I made a thread about it. Anyways I can only use ics or gb roms. Is that a ics or gb rom.
Bump
You're flashing TouchWiz recoveries, that's why it won't work. Flash an ICS AOSP kernel.

OK so I looked over at rwilco12. Which one should I use,aokp fe22 one click or tar. Aosp ff02 tar, times infinity twrp repack..there's a few different ones. Can I use mobile Odin or should I use my PC.
The only ics aokp recovery I see over there is times infinity.I tried chris41,calkulin, rogue,agat63..these wouldn'twork and I used my PC
I use the recovery kernels right ?

I saw a couple on @rwilco's site that said AOKP in the title (I would try those first), however I never used any ICS AOSP ROMs on this device as it had 4.2.2 when I moved over.
Try to flash Chris41g CWM6 recovery. (I'd post a link but, I don't have over 10 posts.) Should be located in @rwilco's site under CM9 kernels. It probably won't boot but you will have a recovery that should be able to flash any AOSP JB ROM.

Yes. Jb roms just boot loop as usual. And my aokp milestone 5 wouldn't reboot.
