Those are .exe files... They won't work on mobile odin right???

Mobile Odin says some exe files may work. There's an EG30 factory ROM available, use that and flash EL29. Check the wiki for EG30 Odin.

Then just install the CWM kernel and you are good to go!
Fyi - If you don't like the yellow triangle on boot I'd use Mobile Odin to flash the CWM.

Just an FYI, installing CWM via the Auto Root package in the development sticky also would not trigger the yellow triangle.
Only flashing a kernel/recovery not signed by Samsung using regular ODIN will trigger the yellow triangle.
But wut if I don't have a computer and just want to use mobile odin

What are you trying to accomplish? There's a factory EG30 Tar file for Mobile Odin. It's not rooted but will get you to factory and you can update to EL29 via OTA. If you want to Odin and keep root you'll have to find a rooted ROM tar in one of sfhub's threads. At worst, you'll have to extract individual packets from the exe files or find an individual file in the resource section.

Install EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin. Then flash calkulins rooted EL29 and EL29 modem from CWM.

Alternatively, couldn't he just install the EL29 rogue repack with mobile odin, then restore a GB nandroid if he has one? This would keep him from having to install another rom altogether, and get him back to previous setup

Sure, if there is a nandroid backup that would be quickest to restore rom and user data. Still need to flash the modem as above.

Isn't modem completely independent of ROM and kernel though, so that wouldn't be necessary, unless he really wanted everything back to EL29?

It just depends what you want to restore to. You can run an EL29 ROM with a different modem. If someone says they want to restore back to a previous version, unless they mention otherwise, I give them instructions to restore modem, kernel, and ROM.

Which Kernel?

I am currently on blazers ics rom. Which kernel should I flash so I can install another rom?
always be safe and use el26

Ok, so mobile odin to el26, flash desired rom, then flash a new kernel?
If you aren't going to use the kernel that comes with the rom, yes.

Everytime I flash a new rom I just use el29 directboot with mobile Odin and I never had a problem..

mobile odin is version of odin you can use on your phone to flash tar files it is not a recovery stock roms are usually in a .tar format
Soo if I wanted tto go back to stock. Is using mobile Odin ideal? Stock meaning like no root, no rom, back to factory. I was looking at another thread. Someone was going back to stock to upgrade to jellybean, root it, nandroid, now they have a good fall back to fresh start

Mobile Odin will flash firmware directly from your phone and inject root

The only ways to install a CWM is with ODIN, Mobile ODIN, another recovery if you want to change it to a different kind, and ADB. You cannot install a custom recovery using ROM manager.

Go to the other thread you posted and answer the questions I asked there. You didn't need to post 2 threads involving the same exact thing. It is against the rules and is flooding the forum.
I've been able to flash the zip through a custom recovery. You could try that. Just be careful!

Sure you can flash any recovery via mobile odin pro. You will download and flash the tar file not the zip file (the same as pc odin). 4 example 4 latest philz recovery u will flash the file

why not ?
Mobile ODIN [PRO] is in a way replacement of the PC version, or might even better in certain aspects.
As mentioned earlier, you can just flash the .TAR or .MD5 file provided from Philz download page.
Same thing applied if you want to flash stock ROM (in .TAR / .MD5) from Mobile ODIN [PRO].
Good luck.

Yes, but one must use .tar archive instead of .img files.
