Trying to root Epic 4G Touch with CWM (NO ROGUE)

Hey guys. I have a friend that has an Epic 4G Touch and we're trying to get him set up with this ROM and it says that Rogue Recovery should not be used.
However, I have a few questions. First of all, where can you find a non-Rogue recovery (CWM only) for EL26? I have scoured the internet looking.
Second, what's the difference between CWM Rogue and just plain CWM? Is there one?
If it helps, we have an unrooted E4GT with EL26. (I have a Desire HD so I'm unfamiliar with all this complicated Odin stuff.)
Thanks so much in advance for your help. You guys are awesome!

Umm in that thread you linked to, at the very beginning of the Install Instructions there is a live link to the EL26 with cwm recovery.
Usually these threads include files/links to everything you need but you need to read them thoroughly from top to bottom, read the follow up comments and then re-read the OP before you even dream of installing a custom ROM you are unfamiliar with. Also if you have questions ask them before you flash, not after you've borked your phone. Usually it's best to ask questions about a ROM in the thread for the ROM or look in the general forum to see if there is a discussion thread for it, and there is one for AOKP.

Good luck and happy flashing!

1. There is none, that was the last official CWM recovery made for this phone
2. Rogue recovery had gingerbread source code so flashing between and GB roms was easy...ICS source code hasn't been released since there isn't an official build yet
If you're going to flash a stock based rom, the recovery doesn't matter as much. However anything AOKP/AOSP should always be done from el26 until TCP releases his source kernel.

Wow...that's embarrassing. I guess I should have taken a closer look.
And I actually can't post on the development threads just yet. That's why I posted here in the Q&A threads.
In any case, thanks so much for your help! It is much appreciated.

What if I have EL29? Can I still use the EL26 kernel?

Okay, a bit of an oversight on my part. The phone is completely updated so it has EL 29. Can I still flash the EL26 kernel with CWM without problems? I would assume yes, but I don't want any problems.

As long as you flash the kernel you need for the ROM u want, ur fine. For example, if you are on AOKP there is an fd26 kernel made just for it....after you load the ROM, you clear cache and dalvik then flash the kernel and boot.
If you want to flash any add-ons, you go back to el26 via Odin and flash; just ensure you flash a kernel with the same process as above before reboot (wipe cache/dalvik, kernel, reboot).
Link for AOSP/AOKP kernels is below

@MoHi96...See my last post, same thing really. Kernel el26 should be used to flash, once ready to run your ROM your kernel should be flashed last to support it. GB kernels will not support Android 4.0 and up.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I assume this should all be done in CWM with this order, for example: Flash Milestone 5. Wipe then choose the EL26 kernel and flash?

I'll try to keep this simple.
So here it goes, short but sweet...
You know it, you love it. Single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the sprint store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system. To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system.
As with just about any rom you'll find posted on these forums, FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK as I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. Special thanks to @deviant.one, @Maddhadder90 and most recently @decimalman for the assistance in making the flash count reset possible for the 32gb Model.

This is excellent! Thanks for putting the work into this. Any chance the mods would sticky this for easy access later?

has anyone tried it yet?
If we used this along with the root flash and TWRP can we flash back to our previous rom without issue?

Do you have to have a custom recovery to flash this? Or can it be applied through the stock recovery?
I am currently running blazer rom but have stock recovery.

i am 100% stock, can I run this through normal recovery? I have been waiting for the OTA but havent received it yet.

I don't think this can be flashed with stock recovery. Must have custom recovery to flash

[ROM](2-7-13)ODIN ONE CLICKS for the SPRINT+ CSPIRE GS3 (LJ7 LI3 LEN) (LJ5 LL1 MA5)

Anyone comin from the Epic 4g Touch should know what this is. For those who don't, its a full stock tar with root loaded in an executable one-click package. This will not add to the custom flash count.
LJ7 Jellybean
There are two versions of Jellybean LJ7. One will wipe all data including internal SD. Performing a factory reset in recovery is recommended prior to use unless you're flashing the version that wipes data. If you are coming from a ICS touchwiz based rom and flashing Jellybean, the factory reset is probably not needed. Just wipe cache/dalvik if there are any issues.
Flash Count Reset Edition
These are unrooted and will NOT wipe data. These will reset your custom flash count before rebooting into the system.Each storage capacity will have its own one click. Be sure to pick the one that corresponds to your phone's storage capacity. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU PICK INCORRECTLY. Wiping data prior to flashing is recommended.
LEN/LI3 ICS
There are two ICS versions as well. LI3 and the original LEN. Neither of these will wipe data. Doing a factory reset is a must if you are downgrading from jellybean.
Note that the stock recovery will wipe your internal storage too. This is why I recommend wiping beforehand so you can use cwm/twrp and preserve your internal sd.
DOWNLOAD FOR SPRINT
These are packed in self-extracting archives so extract before use.

Ditto for sure. sfhub was my gateway drug.

Thank you so much! Your setup fixed my otherwise bricked GS3 (black screen blue LED)!

Can the no data wipe version be flashed over a current stock non-rooted LJ7 build? This is how the old sfhub ones worked. Just double checking before I go through with it.

Does this root 4.1.1 right
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

It is stock 4.1.1 with root so yes.

Coming from the E4GT, this is great to see. I flashed my first leak using these one-clicks and they're great to have just in case something goes wrong...

YES! THANK YOU! When I first got the S3, one clicks were the first things I looked for. And now we have them! They saved my E4GT, now I'm hoping they will do the same here when the help is needed.

[HELP] SPH-D710VMUB Stock (Rooted) (FJ12) to Dirty Unicorns 4.2

As the tile says, I need some help, possibly a walkthrough tutorial, on how to get from rooted stock FJ12 to Dirty Unicorns 4.2 ROM on my SPH-D710VMUB (Virgin Mobile). I had it running fine at one point and then things got screwed up after I updated to 4.3 and tried making to modifications to fix some issues I was having, so I had to revert back to rooted stock. And now, for the life of me I cannot remember how I got there. Any new ROM I attempt to install via recovery throws an error (error 7 if I recall correctly) and will not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean DU 4.3..
Make sure first you're on an ICS modem...if not. Flash it in recovery on the tw ROM you're on now so you can update prl/profile..If you need a cwm recovery for the stock ROM you're on..Look in rwilco12 repo for a custom kernel with cwm for you're build..
This is how I flashed it..
Boot to cwm on current ROM...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system
Flash DU 4.3...wait
When it's done...Don't Reboot..Go to advanced and pick reboot recovery
When new recovery comes up....do the wipes again
Now flash DU 4.3 again
Reboot when its done..
Let it settle for a few ...
Boot to cwm
Flash gapps...reboot..
Enjoy...:good:

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I have time in the near future.

The issue that I'm having is that recovery won't flash anything and just gives me an error every time. Is there a way to upgrade the recovery without switching modems?

Mobile Odin, PC Odin... You probably have the stock kernel, which won't flash anything.

Find cwm in tar format and flash it using pc or mobile Odin.

Mobile Odin is an app that allows you to flash kernels in tar format... Find it here on XDA.

Thank you for your help. If I continue to have problems I will continue the conversation later, but for now I'm going to try a touchwiz based ROM since battery life on stock seems so much better.

I'm following these exact steps and I can't get 3G nor 4G to work.
I used ODIN to get ICS stock rooted, then installed the CWM Kernel, and installed DU 4.3.
Any help here.. I've been going crazy for months trying to get this to work.

I've tried different scenarios of installing a different Virgin Mobile modems after doing a full wipe/cash/etc. I've also tried doing a stock install of JB (after trying a stock VM ICS) before i wiped and installed DU 4.3. I read somewhere that 3G and 4G for Virgin doesn't work on the new DU 4.3.

Speakerphone problems..

OK, I have notifications and music playing through external speaker as normal, but when I try to use speakerphone it goes silent. The earpiece works fine in calls, but speakerphone does nothing. I am rooted and this problem persists across all of my backups (carbon 4.2/pac 4.2/Mokee 4.4/stock ics 4.0.4/Slimbean 7 4.2) the only audio mod I have used was Viper4android and Sony Walkman, and after every restored backup no speakerphone, I have also tried flashing new roms (Cm9) just to test and it still persists. I am running FK19 and the prl is 15110 (flashed custom prl). could this be a hardware issue? even tho the other sounds still play through the external speaker?
Thanks

It's been an issue with AOSP-based ROMs for quite awhile. There's no fix.
Try flashing the latest GB27 ROM.

Bummer, it even occurs when I flash or Odin stock ROMs though. I can't use the gb27 ROMs yet as I haven't been able to successfully convert them to uscc yet. I got an unbranded (no carrier) gb28 but MMS is still an issue.

Yep, used gesture search to open apns and think it was ##data#? That opened the other settings menu, but mms didn't work.
Maybe I missed something somewhere. I have the odin flashable gb28, used the cwm installer bat file, and flashed the agat recovery. after that I got bootlooped, and the factory reset/wipe didn't fix it. Maybe I could use the TWRP recovery instead? I did spend a lot of time trying to get the Touched by an S4 rom to work, but I still got bootloops with that one as well. I used the jb format all x2 zip before install, but I was thinking that maybe I flashed it from the wrong recovery. Im gonna go re-read the op instructions again and maybe take another swing at it. Any suggestions would be welcome, along with hints, tips, clues, and up to and even including "hey dumbass you forgot to ......"

Successfully odin'd gb28 and then odin'd agat. also was able to modify ACPverter (uscc zip mod) to change build prop and eri.xml in framework-res, still no luck on getting the apn settings to stick (MNC MCC wont take, dont know the correct values and the old ones wont work), also ##3282# , and ##72786# won't work and I am unable to change the MMSC url.
All that being said it is still running very well and thanks again for the advice on odin'ing everything. if only I could odin tbs4, anyway its a good starting point and stable enough for me to mess around with even though the speakerphone still refuses to work....

ok so I did some reseach and found that the speakerphone issue is from the sprint kernels, around cm10.1 they start to break the Bluetooth and speakerphone, prior builds have success in some cases. time to odin the hell out of it and see if I cant get it back! I have about 4 different tar files for ICS and Gingerbread, and I am gonna give them all a shot
Note: while odining the gingerbread build, after reboot it showed "decrypting meta data" and some other things I couldn't read it fast enough....weird.....
ok stock ics, stock rooted ics, stock gingerbread, stock unbranded JB, stock pit files with ics and gingerbread = no bueno speakerphone/Bluetooth!!!!! anyone got any other suggestions?

Update. I also changed the speaker/antenna that is mounted inside the housing at the bottom of the phone. I replaced it with one from a sprint branded phone and still no luck... S3 arrives next week..
