[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.

reserved just in case

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.

That is correct. Just flash and go.

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.

That what I was going to ask. You said we could flash a theme over this so I assume CWM is in there as well right?

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.

Misled... Confused????

So let me try and get this right...I'm on fd26 stock rooted in order to flash a new ROM all I have to do is flash a GB kernel and not go back to GB fully, and if I wanna flash just a theme then I just use el29 kernel also is this correct? If not what are the steps I take to flash a new ics ROM from stock rooted fd26??? Thank You in advance!!!

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash
Jus' Sayin'

Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

Problem Flashing Roms

I'm currently running the stock EL29 with root and CWM but whenever I try to install a custom rom (AOPK, CM9, etc...) through CWM, it says "Instillation Aborted" as if they weren't made for this phone when I know they were. What's going on?

Silly question, and not assuming, did you use autoroot for cwm?
May want to Odin to el26 and autoroot cwm ans try it that way.
I personally Odin back to el29, autoroot, and (knock on wood) never had an issue.

Usually that happens on a bad download. Did you download them on your phone or PC?

It turns out that is was just the version of CWM that I was using but now I have a new problem. I flashed CM9 and everything worked EXCEPT the data connection so then I flashed AOPK and had the same problem. The only way I can get online is via wifi. How do I fix this?

Check you baseband in settings>about phone. If it says unknown then just flash a modem of your choice. This has happen to me. On several occasions.

I started from scratch and followed all the steps until I ended up in the same boat. AOKP Build 38 working perfectly EXCEPT data. I tried the EL29 and FE10 kernels but neither made a difference.

Try going back to gingerbread and flashing the EL26 kernal. Then flash the ICS rom you want through that recovery.

AOKP and CM9 have problems with data. every time you or system turn off screen say goodbye to data until 1.enable disable airplane mode or 2.reboot that's the main reason I stay away from these awesome roms until source arrives.
These roms are the best. IMO
1.odin back to stock el29 full reset oc
2.boot update profile and prl
3.copy the rom files to sd
4.turnitoff it off
4.enter download mode and flash el26+cmw for AOKP or el29+cwm direct boot for CM9
5.clear cache, factory data reset, clear dalvik on advance menu
6.go back and select install zip from sd card and choose the rom and flash it
7.flash gapps if apply
8.go back and select reboot system
9.enjoy these awesome roms.

I think I FINALLY got it to work. I started stock with rooted EL29 Odin-OC, flashed the "StockCWM-EL26.tar.m5d" in Odin, flashed the AOKP build 37 rom, flashed gapps, then flashed the FE16 kernel AND modem. When I rebooted the data was working.

Not that I am advocating this, and I am far from an expert, but I odin flash a stock rooted rom (SPH-D710.FC22_CL287574_ROOTED-oc-sfx) without going back to el29 just to have a nice clean stock rom to flash over with something else (like FIFO2). I just try to make sure I do everything in the same session so I don't get stuck in a stock recovery.
My order when flashing (non-Odin):
calkulin's format all
Modem (sometimes...if newer is available)
Rom
Kernel (with a custom recovery; sometimes the roms come with a stock recovery so if you reboot before installing a custom one, you'll have to either use odin to flash a custom recovery or mobile Odin)
any additional items that the rom didn't include (like gapps, etc.)
reboot
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------
Another thing to keep in mind is that AOKP was ported to the E4GT. That could cause issues depending on what you're coming from. Make sure to read all the instructions from the dev before flashing. If the worst happens, buy insurance on your phone and smash it...That's what I did with my evo when I bricked it.

Is there a goal you have in mind?
You wanted to root and g_ding answered that. And pointed you to a custom recovery.
If you state your goals, this conversation would go a lot faster.
Not trying to be rude, just if you have a target, it's a lot easier to answer.

Thank you his instructions helped for rooting . Do I have to flash the kernel posted above as I want to flash AOSP ROMS and agat's kernel doesn't seem to work with AOSP ROMS ?. As what I am thinking is once the phone is rooted I can just flash the ROM I like and it should come with the kernel or I can swap the one I like .

In that case, i would suggest to Odin el26 cwm once you're rooted.
Be sure to read the entire thread of the ROM you'd like to flash. The op should have updated info if any flashing issues are noted but still take the time to read the thread.

If u have a custom recovery just get su and binary zip and flash in recovery
If not go and root your phone by Odin king your phone to fh13 with root
Qbking has a great video just YouTube search root epic 4g touch fh13 root and look for qbking

If you followed what g_ding linked you to, and you applied the fh13 one click rooted, you can use Odin to apply the tar file. Just search for Odin or mobile odin.

Dont use ROM manager. Download any aosp/aokp/cm ROM you want. Follow the OP directions. Odin or mobile odin the el26 kernel/recovery. Wipe everything in recovery, cache, data, delvik cache and system. Then flash rom.

I'm using stock rooted fh13. For whatever reason, my battery lasts over 20 hrs with that and my 4g works. My phone doesn't like any other rom. Aosp jb was super smooth but broke my 4g and yielded 3 hr battery drain

You can find all the modems you'll ever need here.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210 ..... I advise you to read up on flashing for this phone if you're new to this...rwilco's modem depot should have links to guides and you can grab the modem of choice..The newest ICS modem is fl24. You can flash modems in cwm recovery or use Odin..,just be sure you grab the right file for how you intend to flash it.(mobile Odin doesn't flash modems). I use cwm recovery a lot, works well​You will need to update you're PRL after flashing the modem..This can only be done on a touch wiz ROM,although I did read about some things in the works for aosp/aokp/cm ROMs(I haven't tried it yet).If you're going to a JB ROM,and its you're first time on JB, you need to flash a one-click with Odin..Read this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35539014#post35539014 ..If you are on Touch wiz, just down load the modem zip...flash via cwm..reboot and update prl.. Hope this helps...If you need help you can pm me or leave a post in my Q and A thread for slim ROM..Good Luck..
