You need to down load a few things.
1. EL-26 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
2. Philz touch recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
3. The ROM and Gapps you desire.
Flash the El-26 via Mobil Odin which you should have on your phone.
From the EL-26 recovery, flash Philz touch and reboot into recovery mode.
Wipe data/factory reset to install new ROM
Wipe cache/dalvik (Dalvik is located under advance)
Install new ROM
Instal Gapps
Reboot Phone. Wait for a while, it should reboot. IMO EL-29 is better, but I can't find that one on the threads. The Philz recovery will give you an updated recovery to flash KK ROMs. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH A KK ROM USING ANY CWM RECOVERY OLDER THAN 6.0.5.0.

You need to be on and ICS modem. (FL24, FL27 if your on Sprint) I am on FL24. AOSP ROMs will not work on GB**.

root using framaroot apk. Then folllw bigmikes instructions,adding a formatting of the system under mounts, do this after you wipe data,cache and dalvik. Without formatting system you are not getting a truly clean install,as the previous rom is still on the system as if it was just installed.
if you need more guidance,post back and i will li.k u to a lkttle mobile odin guide i wrote for another member.
as for modems..bigmike is correct. you need an ics modem. fl24 is the newest and the one i had the best luck with. FYI..sprint modems work on boost. Im a boost user and always use the sprint modems. But it doesnt go the other way i believe. Sprint cant use boost modems.
good luck
Just another heads up, but a factory reset may have to be done AFTER ROM and gapps are flashed.
I flashed CM11 (coming from GB28) using Blasphemy v6.6 kernel/recovery and got stuck on the GS2 splash screen... Never even got to the boot animation. Got into recovery and did another factory reset, which allowed me to finally boot up.

Ok, So i've successfully rooted my epic 4g touch and I successfully installed the rogue CWM found on this forum. Now whenever I try to flash the CM7 zip (trying to get AOKP), it will only boot into CWM and the phone won't boot. I've tried re-rooting, wiping dalvik (gives me volume patch error), and wiping cache, etc.
Any help?

Flash it twice. This is a common occurrence
And by that I mean flash it twice successively, one after the other. Should fix you up. Let us know if that doesn't work.

I've done that. It didn't work.
You don't need to install CM7 to install AOKP.
Try this: ODIN to stock EL29, use one click root (choose option C, then I (this'll root your device and give stock CWM recovery)).
Then boot into recovery, flash AOKP, gapps and FD02 modem if you'd like.

Really? Interesting. Ok well most people are actually flashing AOKP and Codename from the EL26 CWM that is linked in the OP of those threads. That is actually how I have flashed over 15 times with different builds. So if you can Odin EL26 with clockwork mod you should be able to flash AOKP after you flash a calkulin format all to wipe all relevant partitions and don't forget to install Google apps.

Yes, root works a bit different on this phone. Pretty much every single rom available will provide with root and superuser when it is installed via some sort of custom recovery or Odin. Odin is actually a very safe and convenient method of flashing.

Hmm that's strange. A lot of people definitely have the fast zip installing issue but when they flash it for the second time without ever rebooting recovery or the phone it takes a good 15+ seconds to flash and it successfully writes to your phone and boots up. Going back to stock certainly can't hurt. Perhaps start from there.

Have you tried redownloading the ROM? If you downloaded via your device you could have had some dropped packets.

So unfortunatley I was stupid on my first device, and it got that dreaded emmc brick. So before I root and update my phone to cyanogen mod alpha 6 I want to clarify what is considered safe at the moment. I plan to do the following, and if someone could let me know if its most likely safe it would be greatly appreciated.:
(I currently am on a new Epic Touch I purchased, which is not rooted, on 100% stock out of the box)
1. Flash E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5 through Odin (will this work as a first step, or do I need to flash something else first in order to root?)
2. Through that recovery flash my Cyanogen Mod and Gapps
3. Never do anything to my phone after that without extensive reading
Should that most likely work without bricking? Thank You!
That should work. Also, from what I've read, if you are going to wipe your phone, DO NOT use "Wipe data/Factory Reset" through an ICS recovery. That has been triggering the random emmc brick. Use "Calkulin's Format All" instead or Odin back to an EL26 kernel. Hope this helps.

Take unrooted stock phone, put it into download mode, flash SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 package found here:

Then flash a StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 file in Odin
Then do a Wipe/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Then Flash CM9 Alpha 6 and Gapps
Never used odin to flash kernels, just mobile odin cause it doesn't increase flash counter. Sounds like a good plan though

Rule of thumb. Never flash ics to ics unless using one of agats safe ics repacks or mobile odin el26. Wiping data or format all in ics recovery can cause a brick.

Hi all, I went from stock ICS FH13 to CM 10.1 WFTN... I love it but not having MMS work is driving me crazy. Now I want to try a TWbased ROM and decided on the Goodness. In the instructions it says
Prerequisites: Currently be on JB FK09, FK23 or FL04 (recommended is FK23).

Checking the Stock ROM repo I see that they only come in oneclick.exe format and tar format unrooted.. Is there a way I can get it in zip format ROOTED so that I can use mobile Odin to boot into EL26 CWM and install FK23 before flashing to Goodness or does it have to be done on a computer? I don't have access to a computer where I'm at so I'm praying I can get FK23 without one!

I didn't know mobile Odin could flash stock ROM! I thought it was just used to flash kernels. I checked the mobile Odin thread and read that it could flash the stock ROM and if I get the pro version I could root it while its flashing. I do have one question though. This is what mobile Odin description says:
All partitions are supported, as are loose files, .tar files and .tar.md5 files. Mobile ODIN will even check the MD5 signatures before flashing. While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety.

It is my understanding that FK23 format and repartition my internal storage partitions. Does this mean mobile odin won't work with FK23?
Yes mobile odin can flash roms in tar format. Before I cause the loss of your stuff on your sd card I will let someone more experienced tell you about that. I have actually never flashed a jellybean stock rom through mobile odin. I have done so with ics and gingerbread but there was nothing that would wipe rhe ss card in those. Jellybean needs new partitions. So its best to wait. Sorry. I just dont want to ve responsible for giving wrong info. Goodluck.

You can flash this stock build using cwm. I'm not sure it chimes with cwm, but that doesn't matter. You are flashing stock to set the partitions. Once flashed, flash el26 with MO, reboot into recovery, follow Goodness OP wipe instructions, flash Goodness, modem(?), profit.

It's ALWAYS a good idea to do a backup on your pc when you go flashing around different builds, setting partitions, etc. But no, the only thing that should(I say that lightly), completely wipe out your internal storage is formatting it. Good luck!

Hey all, my sister just got a brand new GSII from T-mobile and wants me to put cyanogenmod on there. I saw that the 4.3 was still a bit buggy so I'm going with 10.1 / android 4.2
All of the stickys for rooting are a bit old so I'm not totally confident choosing one without posting first. She's on 4.1.2, what would you guys say is the best route for rooting? the toolkit? the odin way? or the last method. Speaking of which, is this phone T989 or the D?
Looking forward to answers, thanks guys!

I used Odin and flashed a 4.2 rom, If your looking for a stable rom then just stick to 4.2/4.1.2 roms as 4.3 roms aren't stable enough as a DD and probably won't be for a few weeks/months.

HOW TO ROOT AND FLASH CYANOGENMOD 10.1 TO YOUR TMOB GS2 IN 2013!
Download latest 10.1 ROM and put on your SD card or internal storage
CM10.1 nightly
Download latest Google Apps/Gapps under the 10.1 column and put on your SD card or internal storage
Gapps
Download Odin3-v3.307
Odin3-v3.307.zip
If you're already on Android version 4.1.2 then you're fine, continue below, if not;
Download 4.1.2 stock rom
Tmobile GS2 Stock 4.1.2 ROM
1) “Extract” or “unzip” the downloaded stock ROM to get the .tar.md5 file
2) Run Odin3_v3.07.exe on PC desktop
3) In Odin - only check ‘Auto Reboot’ and ‘F-Reset’
4) Click on the PDA button then browse to the folder where you extracted the stock ROM “tar file”
‘T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5′
5) Connect USB cord to phone and PC and boot into download mode. In Odin, the ID:COM box will change its color and its an indication that the device is connected properly to PC. If you still do not get any results, try another USB port on your computer.
6) Click the Start button to begin flashing.
7) Wait until it finishes or watch out for the word “PASS”.
Once the phone completely reboots, perform wipe/factory reset to get a fresher firmware installation.
1. Hold Power and Volume Up together, this will switch the device into recovery mode.
2. Release Power after holding it for a second but continue to hold the Volume Up button until recovery menu appears.
Select wipe cache
Select wipe data/factory reset.
Select reboot
That’s all! your Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 now fully installed or restored to the original Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean
Ok, now that you're on 4.1.2, let's continue. The above step is also how to restore the phone back to stock.
Follow this STEP BY STEP noob friendly way to root, using the ODIN v3 provided above
Root Tmob GS2
Flash custom recovery
Download the TWRP recovery mode
TWRP 2.2 for Tmob GS2 aka Hercules recovery.tar.md5
plug phone back into PC and put in download mode
select the pda and select the recovery.tar file, hit start and let it finish
boot into recovery
wipe system, dalvik, cache, etc.
select install
find your cm10.1zip and install
then find your gapps.zip and install
reboot, could take about 2-5 mins.
DONE!

I don't believe you can flash another kernel yet until dev's have a source that they can work with and create different kernel, so I would NOT flash a JB kernel on a KK Rom.
Did you do a full wipe before you flashed civato's Rom "as stated in the OP"?
What you could try is a factory reset in your recovery or a wipe cache and reboot again this might get you out of the boot loop.
Hoping this helps.

in aroma choose the stock kernel option. I had the same bootloop problem ....it kept going into recovery.
After choosing the stock kernel everything was smooth.

As @pvsgh suggested too try installing stock KK Rom first and then follow everything to the letter from civato's OP and I really do mean step by step and you should not have any problems.

Yeah im goin to Odin back to stock KK...Then redo Civatos Rom...
I followed step by step, I'm familiar with the process, I posted my own thread, not realizing that he was having the issue with civato's Rom as well, because I had no issues with the bootloader, I'm running kitkat stock right now, but following everything weird for word, even going so far as multiple wipes, directly after Odin flash of stock kitkat, put me in the same predicament as the OP. Also worth noting, restoring a nandroid of stock kit Kat after attempting to flash the Rom fixes nothing. The boot loop persists, though data remained after Odin flashing stock again, just had to re root.
