I'm on ICS 4.0.4 just Rooted last night with custom recovery. So I just dl what JB Rom I want and flash in recovery like my HTC Evo Lte?
All this reading has got me confused as to what to do. Plus this being my first Samsung device doesn't help any.
Thanks for the help

Just follow the instructions for the specific Rom you want. All roms have their flashing instructions And the jb ones are more specific too. Those are listen in the thread for that Rom as well.

You need to do a full restore one click to GB27 full root restore which is jelly bean. Something in the system has to be formatted before you flash a custom jelly bean ROM.
RWilco has all the stuff you should need

OK I'm on FL24 but I need to run GB27 next?
If so then it's OK to use the GB27 (rooted) (preserve user data) option?
Thanks

EDIT: ok i ran the GB27 so at this point i can download a JB rom and flash in recovery ?

You need to do the one that wipes data since you're going from ics to jb. It's going to delete whatever you have on the internal sd so back up the files. After you do that then you can flash a jb Rom on it. I'm on my phone right now so I can't really link you to the thread easily. Look for the jb roms they should have links to all you need to set up a jb Rom.

I've been reading a lot and it's my understanding that every time I flash a Rom I have to flash the kernel separate?
And all I read is CWM Recovery, is there not a TWRP Recovery for this device ?
And (Modems) this is included in all TW Roms. But if I flash cm or aokp Roms I have to flash this separate and use ICS modem?
Thanks

It is hard to fully brick, but it can happen. Take your time and read as much as possible.. When I got my first Android device, Samsung Captivate, I spent the better part of 3 weeks reading before I even attempted root and another full day of reading for installation of a custom ROM. You always have to be prepared to have a paper weight on your hands. You can't panic if you get stuck in a bootloop. Rule of thumb, 95% of the time if it still turns on, it can be fixed. What I do now is read as much as possible before I even get the device. I was reading and researching for 4 days before I got my S4 had it rooted and ROMd in an hour after I got it.

Yea this phone is so complicated to flash roms and other things. And I thought My HTC one and HTC evo lte was hard. But I love trying out new phones so it keeps me from getting bored.

The E4GT is easy. Try figuring out the S4. That's what I am on now. There are so many different things to worry about.

One of the main reasons why I like HTC devices because when you flash the ROM the kernel is flashed at the same time if yr S-Off were this phone you have to flash the kernel separate from the rom and then you have to use ClockworkMod recovery which I don't care for. I prefer TeamWin recovery. But my wife's GS3 is similar to htc devices download the Rom and flash and it has TeamWin recovery. But I got this phone to flip so I'm not going to keep it but who knows.

Your problem was having the stock kernal to do the flash. Best thing to do know is to flash a el26 CWM kernal using Odin and then reflashing the whole rom set up again.

I'd have thought you would be perfectly fine flashing from el29. So you can't get into Odin mode or CM recovery?
I thought some roms were compatible with rouge recovery only and some were only compatible with cwm recovery.?.?

I don't think it is possible to have the stock kernel and have rouge recovery. That would mean that you must of had a custom kernal which had included rouge recovery. If you mean you had stock kernel to being with you then you flashed the new rom using androids stock recovery which almost always fails when installing a new rom. The kernel I mentioned , EL26 CWM can be found here, flash it using odin and then reflash your whole rom setup. When you double click the file, it will self extract and a file should appear. That is the file you flash using odin in the PDA slot.
The file I flashed in odin was a rooted el.29 file then I used a tool that installed the el.29 rogue recovery... so I'm confused why a .29 rom won't install over a .29 base?
Sent from my XT912 using Tapatalk 2
Just put the phone back into download mode Odin el.29 rom that you can find in development section then from there just redo it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I have already odin back to rooted el.29 but what I'm wondering is why would it change anything? It's already soft bricked once so how would it change this time? Should I be on .26 or .29 to flash a rom?

OK So sounds like (not too sure though) that you used sfhub's Autoroot package to root and add EL29+CWM+Rogue is that right?
Solution to get you back to a working EL29 stock (but rooted) running phone.
Power off the phone.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 download the Download the EL29 full restore One-Click self-extractor and extract the file somewhere.
[Also make sure you downloaded and installed the Samsung drivers from this post, have a GOOD USB cable and that the phone is charged at least 50%]
Then start the file you downloaded: SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-OneClick.exe
The power on your phone while holding the Volume Down button till you get the confirmation screen and press volume up to accept and enter Download mode.
Connect your phone to the PC and it should show up on some COM port (doesn't matter which one) in the Odin tool.
Press start adn wait till all is done. You will then have a working stock rooted phone.
Then take some time and read through all the stickies and tutorials in this section. Read especially the 'how not to brick' ones!
This phone is very different from the HTCs and Motorolas in how the system(s) is partitioned and how the recovery works.
Then take some more time and read a little more or you will surely turn the phone into an expensive fishing lure.
If you want to flash the FF18 (actual leak build) sfhub has a one click for that too! Safest way to go. And you can use his Autoroot package to add Agat's safe ICS kernel.
Welcome to the E4GT just be careful and you'll have more fun.
By the way Qbking77's videos are SUPER if you are new to this phone!
Yes I'm on stock rooted el.29 now

Ok so rom manager came pre installed on cm10. I never used it on my old phone because of bricking stories. Question is, is it being used for ota updates for cm10? And is it safe for me to install cwm touch from it?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Rom Manager and this phone are not a conversation that is even taking place. But as far as the question CM is going back to their own "ota" system and while I am sure CM9 will get it as well CM10 will definitly have ut.
As far as this phone since we are not official yet I wouldn't worry about either at this time. Your updates are here.
Do not install CWM Touch recovery!!! That's asking for a brick. We have TWRP if you want a touch recovery. Aroma packages also give you a customizable touch interface for installing .

This phone has the recovery packed in the kernel, so you will be looking for a kernel+twrp or kernel+cwm. The recovery will change everytime you flash a different rom or kernel that has a different recovery packed with it. Some people, like me, use el26+cwm for recovery related things, such as wiping, flashing and backing up/restoring. However if you go this route you will need to locate an ics or jb kernel to flash to boot to your rom, if you aren't flashing a rom. You will need to flash a compatible kernel either before making a backup or after restoring a backup to make it bootable. I typically flash the kernel then do the backup so I don't forget to flash it after a restore.
We are legion, for we are many.

Had my old S2 for almost a year a it broke 2 days ago. It was replaced under advanced exchange, so I got a refurbed unit running FI27.
I am in the process of moving to another apartment and I don't have internet access, so I need to do this while I am at work today. I've tried to read all of the stickies for the past hour and I am more lost than ever.
It was so long ago when I rooted my original S2, that method obvioulsy no longer works.
Just need a link to what the easiest way to root and install a recovery on my device for FI27.
I know someone knows off the top of their head and can point me right in the direction. I'm in a time crunch and could appreciate the help!
TIA...

That should get you root.
Or you could flash el26 one click exe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26295021 and then flash a rom.

So I used the no-data to flash and get root.
However, trying to get a recovery on. Can I just use Rom Manager to install CWM? I was going to use it flash CWM recovery, but it asked me to confirm the phone model, and I didn't see the sprint version listed.
Nevermind, I installed Agats FI27 recovery, all is well!
Thanks guys! Should be good now!!
No don't do that. Google mobile Odin lite and dl the free one from XDA. Then flash the kernel I linked for safety. Then you can flash anything.

That seems like too much work. Don't y'all have a stock rooted Odin .tar.md5? And the process for installing recovery seems dated. Once rooted you should be able to install twrp or cwm through room manager or goo manager. Or am I wrong?

then this is your process:
download the rom and gapps to your phone's internal sd card.
2) go to download mode and ODIN this to your phone:

2) reboot
3) clear dalvik,cache,factory data reset
4) Flash CM10 + gapps
DONE
This from the blog is correct btw... long winded but correct and safe. it has more detailed steps if you need itbut all is required are those 4 items above.

Hey all, I am new here and have been flashing ROMs and rooting phones and etc. for 3 or so years. Recently i bought an AT&T Galaxy S 3 from someone. He rooted it and loaded the AOKP milestone 4.2.2 ROM on it. It came with TWRP 2.6 for the recovery. Now, I want to try different ROMs but I am unable to. What I mean is that I can download ROMs and flash them along with the Gapps, and it takes its time doing it and flashing it. After flashing it, it never says successful or failed. So I go to reboot the system and for some reason it is STILL the AOKP ROM I originally had on there. I have tried at least 12 different ROMs and it does the same thing every single time. It is just the AOKP ROM but completely clean like I just started using it. So, can anyone help me out? I am totally stuck. And I have tried using CWM to no avail. Please help! Thanks guys.
Flash back to current stock with Odin, then start over.
