I have combed through the entire thread (☼[ROM] Frankenstein's Ego 4.5 (FE16 ICS)(S Voice Patch)☼ 5/21/2012) and i did NOT find my answer, in fact, i saw two posts discussing something similar, but it didn't seem to help my situation at all.
Anywho. I am LOVING this ROM, but I seem to have lost CWM? I rooted, flashed CWM, then i bought Mobile Odin to flash the EL26_StockCWM Kernel, did that successfully. I then watched QBKing77's video to install Ego (PS - i watch his videos EVERY TIME i'm doing something to my phone, they are AMAZING.) And ta da! I'm running the rom
But then I wanted to put the Rapps on and the S_Voice_Patch_v4, and I couldn't find anywhere in that thread on WHEN i'm supposed to do this (yes, as i said, i combed through the thread) so I thought, well let's flash through CWM. But I don't HAVE CWM anymore. Now I have Android system recovery? When I try to install zip from there, it errors out because of signatures. So what should I do? Should I flash back the EL26 Stock Kernel, flash the two patches, and then flash the FE16 kernel?
I'm so lost, please be kind!
I'm pretty syre I put this in the thread before but no worries we're here to help.
1. ODIN/mobile ODIN el26 w/CWM
2. Flash ROM in CWM
3. Flash Rapps
4. Flash S-voice Patch
5. Reboot and enjoy
All you have to do now though since you flashed the ROM is:
1. DL the FE16 + Kernel (Or whatever kernel you prefer)
2. ODIN/mobil ODIN el26 CWM
3. Flash Rapps
4. Flash s-voice patch
5. Flash kernel
6. Reboot and enjoy
You will always lose CWM on all ICS Kernels as I do not know of any that contain CWM. I know there is an ACS kernel out there with there recovery but that's it, no CWM. I hope this helps

Yea, you have to re-flash EL26 kernel then flash what you want then reflash the FE16 or 20 kernel and then reboot
CWM won't work most proper till we have kernel source

Thank you guys so much for replying so quickly! I kind of thought that's what I might have to do, but i didn't wanna go around flashing kernels without knowing for sure that's what i was supposed to do. I really appreciate your help!!!!

ok one more question - the repacked kernel on the Frankenstein post is a .zip file, so Mobile Odin doesn't pull it. Is there something I should do with that file or should I just pull a kernel from this thread? [KERNELS][CWM][ODIN] Kernel Repository - Download Them All Here
And if so, which one?

the FE16 repack zip?
Flash that after you patch up everything in CWM then reboot don't worry about unzipping it
Okay, so I tried to Mobile Odin the EL26 Stock CWM and it said it flashed, but then it didn't reboot. I was going through the Odin thread where someone else had this problem, so they force stopped the app and rebooted manually, and it worked. Well, i did that, and now I'm stuck on the Samsung Galaxy boot up screen. I pulled the battery, and put it into recovery mode, and there was CWM, but it wouldn't install the files (said they were bad). tried to restart the phone again, and back to the Samsung Galaxy screen.
Did i f*** it all up?!

your probably either going to have to odin from pc, or redownload the rom/kernel files to your sd card and flash from sd thru cwm if it says the files are bad. What is the exact error cwm is giving you? as long as you make sure you are using el26 cwm to flash ics roms you will be fine and wont brick.

Well I'm already on the ICS rom. i was trying to load the patches (S Voice and Rapps). it says:
E:Can't open /sdcard/Rapps_RemovedAppsV4.zip (bad)
But the other issue is that my phone is stuck in the bootloop of the Samsung Galaxy screen. So even tho I'm on CWM right now, nothing else is working.
Sounds like bad downloads of the files getting that error in CWM. For some reason FE16 does not reboot when Mobile odin is run so for future reference just flash it and manually reboot into CWM. If both of you have CWM you are still good, just flash the FE16 Kernel and should boot back to ROM and you can retry after redownloading the files. If you cannot get to CWM you might have to PC Odin. Sorry this didn't work for you guys. hopefully we can get you up and running.

Okay PHEW! I flashed the FE16 Kernel and it booted back up, so I'm gonna do what you suggested and re-download the files and whatnot.
(PS - i'm the same user as the OP, i just added a pic, sorry for the confusion LOL)
yeah I realized that after i posted, haha.
WOOOOOO! Okay, I'm good! Thank you everyone! I've got the patches, the FE16 and i'm flying through this rom!
I love when people help people, thanks guys :beer:

Ok so I decided to flash the jellybean based Goodness rom on my epic 4g touch. Before I flashed the rom everything on my phone was working great but now I have 2 issues. First my data on my phone is not working unless I have 4g which I rarely have. So I decided to restore my phone from a previous backup but when I went to reboot into recovery CWM recovery was gone. Does anyone know why first my data on my phone is gone and how I can get CWM back on my phone? I am on FI27 and if you need any other info let me know.
First you need to make sure that you have a jellybean modem installed with goodness rom fk09 thru fl16 recent. Second after flashing jellybean leak there isnt a custom recovery as of yet we use el26 or el29 direct boot one click to flash add ons or what not. So I would suggest el26 direct boot then flash goodness again and get a copy of the fl16 modem and kernel before you flash and flash all together then you should be good. Some have reported that they had to flash the stock leak then el26 then flash rom modem kernel.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If you can still boot Goodness, use Mobile Odin and flash their suggested kernel and later the modem. I think Goodness was fk23. I did that same thing too many times and forgot to odin my CWM before I decided I'd install a couple zips and found I was at a stock CWM.

Wow guys thanks for your help but its likebu guys are talking another language. First of all I have been on other jellybean roms before this like CM10 and have had no issues so would that mean I am on yhe correct modem? Would it be possible for u to tell me what to do step by step? If u need any info let me know

You can still boot your phone with "Goodness" rom correct? I may be spanked because there is other ways, i'm sure but I would download one of the tar files in my last post and probably the FK23 tar (first link).
Download FK23 Modem here NOW!! http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/ModemSite/MODEMS/JB/ZIP/FK23.zip Zip is for flashing in CWM..
If you don't have Mobile Odin, I would download it and keep it in your arsenal for when you're away from your PC and Purchase Pro later.
Download the tar, open Mobile Odin and click Kernel. Find the tar file which should be in your Download directory then scroll to the bottom and flash. Always let Odin check the MD5.
Reboot and you'll have your CWM and FK23 Kernel, While in CWM install the modem zip you should have downloaded in the link above.
See how that works and with CWM of course you'll be able to try the other modems and see what works best. My mobile Odin does flash modems (could be because of it being the Pro version) and not sure why I've seen others say it doesnt. Must like me!!
Bluesrulez did make me aware that, if your market hangs while downloading, then it is more than likely due to the repack kernel you will be flashing. May have to try another kernel afterwards but just in case.
Yes u must b on job modem. There r other safe custom recoveries like Christy 41gs v6 ics. I backed up and flashed everything with agats fk23 repacked kernal. Worked fine 4 me. U can't use an ics modem to flash stock job ROMs and such. The aosp 4.2.1 ROM is the only 1 I know that uses a ics fi27modem.
Worked for me...
Worked like a charm for me once I got the Pro version Mobile Odin....thanks.
I have some questions and need help fast if possible. I'm currently on CM10 beta 2 and only have a nandroid backup from being stock rooted. I know you can't simply restore a backup from jelly bean to ICS. I was playing with ROM Toolbox, and was installing some custom transitions. I did a backup of the stock transitions, but the zip backup file won't flash in recovery. Anyway I can't boot up and only get the Galaxy S II boot screen. I can however get into download and CM CWM based recovery. I've done quite a few searches, with no real answers for this issue. Any help will be greatly apreciated because I don't have my phone until I figure out exactly what to do. Do I have to download a stock ROM with cusom kernel to computer then transfer over file via usb using Odin and then use CWM to flash the stock ROM? I know not to do a factory wipe unless I'm on el26 or 29. I also know you can odin to them then flash, but all the odin kernels with CWM are from ICS and I can't find a solid method for my specific situation.

Thanks Blues. But I need to flash el29 or six before flashing right? So I'm guessing I need to Odin to one? And I can do that from any ICS or JB right? So I just need the one click for PC Odin, then flash with Odin? Sorry, I just want to be 100% here.

Use the one click.exe full rom file that will flash the full el29 gb rom. Then from there you can flash cwm to flash cm10 or whatever rom you want.
But do I have to go el29 or 26? How do I get there from where I'm at now? Thanks again, and sorry I just want to be 100% here.
Edit: Okay, great. After flashing that I obviously could do my nandroid restore? Just because I lost some pictures or something happened when I flashed to JB because I only had a few pics and none of my SMS or call logs or anything came through.
Ok, just so the thread is not a complete waste, I did flash the stock ROM via PC ODIN. Went back to stock, was able to do a nandroid restore, and went ahead and flashed CWM recovery via Mobile ODIN. Went ahead and wiped factory in CWM recovery and flashed CM10. Thanks again Blues, next time I'll just post in your noob thread. . I'm not a noob but I just never had to PC ODIN when not being able to boot and wasn't sure how safe it was in my specific state.
P.S. Any other users are more than welcome to P.M. me if you have any questions. I probably won't visit here again

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?
Yes

Yeah...been suggested to me to flash Roms with EL26 or EL29 and mods and tweaks with agats.
For what its worth, that's the suggestions I've received.
I need some tips on flashing EL26 or EL29 recovery kernals from GB27 rom.
When flashed (odin, mobile odin, and zip) my phone gets stuck on the first Samsung E4GT logo. No recovery is added, volume up and power only reboots device to same logo.
Ive done this flash before and never had an issue. I dont know what could be the issue.
Would flashing a stock GB or ICS rom and pretty much starting from scratch be a good idea?
I guess my question is are there issues with flashing from GB27 to EL26/29? Do I need to be on a specific kernal? My only fear is if I flash a stock GB rom I wont have a kernal to flash anything else.
Could there be something wrong with my phone? It really seems to me flashing from my current rom isnt compatable.
Please send me some tips and advice on what roms to flash to get back to an el26 so I can proceed with my goal in all this which is flashing the new SHOstock rom with multi window.
Thank you and I appreciate any help!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
It wouldn't hurt starting from scratch. It sounds like your current Rom is having some sort of conflict with the EL26/EL29 CWM kernels. Have you tried flashing a gb27 cwm recovery? That will allow you to flash a new rom. They are stable as dd's now and I use them all the time. Try Garwynn or Agat's gb27, they both come with Agat's custom recovery which has cwm. If that doesn't take, might as well save all your important stuff and give a fresh start a try . Good luck.

You can use the stock rooted restore gb08 that's what I used to fix that problem. Try following ny guide to get it running perfect after you Odin the stock rooted.

I gave flashing stock GB08 rooted a shot. I then flashed EL29 and EL26. Still does the same thing.
Doesnt boot to CWM.
If I flash a Gingerbread rom, since my EL26/29 isnt working, will I be able to access my current GB27 state I am in now without issue?
My AGAT GB27 is doing me well to retrieve all my current backups.
I dont want to go back to Gingerbread and not have a recovery to use because it uses EL26/29. So I would be screwed, correct?
Thanks!
I am trying to flash EL29 Gingerbread Stock Rom with Root.
This doesnt work as well. Odin freezes on the flash at FactoryFS.img.
Does anyone know why it would freeze on this file?
I've tried multiple tar files, different ports, different cords, two versions of odin.
I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing. What caused the factoryfs.img file to freeze?
What hardware in the phone could cause this issue?
Any help wouldbe appreciated. All I want is EL26/[email protected]#$ WHYYYY!
If you flash el26 or 29 over ICS or JB your phone will not boot past splash screen. I always use el26 with odin from PC, kernel is flashed from pda slot. Reboot the phone and hold then keep holding power +vol up for like 30 seconds and you will boot into el26 recovery.
If you want to switch from from Touchwiz JB to AOSP or older GB/ICS rom you need to flash a ICS 1 click first like FI27 then flash el26 kernel and flash rom. If you are trying to flash the rooted el29 one click rom it should work. Maybe bad cable. I only flash with blackberry microusb cables.

You are confused my friend. Odin uses .tar or .tar.md5 files and CWM recovery uses .zip files. And if you're stuck at splash screen after flashing el29 it's because you can't boot el26 or el29 unless you have that build rom on your phone. They are used for recovery only. Pull battery, reinsert, reboot into recovery, and flash the rom of your choice from there!(e4gt only of course)
