You would have to wipe before flashing and retheme the rom and your whole setup. Ya his stock 2.3.6 rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
yea i followed qbkings video but i guess he updated it and i didnt pay attention. i know that they will find a way to push 2.3.6 to us on the EG31. Lesson learned pay more attention lol. If you get them to do it let me know, i need to get a jig before i go to the sprint store
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
will do I'll let you know think I might actually call them in the next few days (prob this weekend) when I have the time and see what I can do about it. I've got a few things up my sleeve about maybe getting the phone reflashed if they even have a true EG30 in store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Thanks man i have a ticket to take my phone to sprint but i wonder if i need a jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
What would you tell sprint? I'm in the same position. I'm sure as is a ton of other folks on xda with EG31. However I think the awesome devs here will have a way around it soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tweeker404:
I'm hoping for this as well. Thanks for your hard work devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I'm hoping for that also don't get me wrong in the least. I honestly have more faith now in the devs here then I once did (for the main reason is I never knew any of their work since I came from a slide and a different carrier) I full put trust in the devs but at the same time a backup plan would always be nice. As for what I would tell Sprint I've got a few ideas but I'm going to leave them off of this forum since I do know Sprint Employee's to read xda and I knew a few of the CS guys on the Sprint Community forums come here and read things also. I just find it better to keep my mouth shut at times at first when it comes to speaking on things like this till I can see for myself if I can get it to work or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
I learned don't flash while playing halo reach lol. I hope I still get the update soon if not I will break my phone a get a new one via black tie from best buy free of change
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I think before anyone panics you should give the developers some more time. I honestly cant see a situation where they do not incorporate the updated software into a new updated rom. Look at what development has been done so far. This type of panic happened every time something new came out for the OG Evo and caused nothing but headaches.

Great job viper and the rest of the guys and people relax and lets see what happens. Have these guys let you down before.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Should we create an EK02 discussion in General?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Not panicking at all. This is why I said I'd see about calling over the weekend or going in then since I'm busy right now with other important things. My phone works period that's the main thing I do care about. So for now I'll see where this goes over the next few days and such and go from there. But as I said never hurts to have a backup plan for that "just in case moment"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
patience goes a long way in the world of electronics.

I never flashed any modem updates, knowing that updates like this would come out eventually, and, I would strongly recommend that people with a working setup also wait to flash this update, until the devs have thoroughly tested and tweaked this as well..Flashing stuff the minute it comes out, if you are not a REAL DEV, can cause more problems than you currently are dealing with.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Ok, no problem but too me even the weekend is a little too soon too worry bout this...IMHO I agree with the my phone is working part and that's my main concern as well. Believe me they will tear this update apart and make a rom that will be compatible with your radio and everyone will be updated to the latest and greatest.... I have seen it happen a million times before... If not its not like my phone is not running great now....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Well that was about the dumbest thing I have done in a while, d3rp!

I took the new modem out of its zip form, placed in Odin and proceeded to update. After it just sitting at "Now Writing, Please Wait 2 Minutes" for I'd say 10 minutes, I said F'it and pulled the cable and rebooted. I got a error about firmware, rebooted recovery, I had stock recovery. So I Odin a EG30 repack, still stock recovery. I then Odin the new repack and had CWM, tried to flash new modem and after 5 minutes it errors out with no error message. Obviously when booted into android I have the LoS Icon, and a "unknown" baseband. Trying to re-odin the new modem again, gonna just let it sit for a long time, even though I know it wont help. I guess its off to EG31 for me :( There HAS to be a way to read the emmc and pull EG30 from a device. Maybe I will ship it off to sammy once the update becomes official, unless the update "fixes" the modem blemish I have :o

Moral of the story, dont do ^^^THIS^^^ lol

Thanks for all of the work everyone put into this!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Thanks for everything guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
You know the funny and ironic part of this post is I actually "thought" about if this had been attempted but I figured it would go bad cause it's just an update modem not a full version of one. Sucks about the phone though sorry man :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks to everyone who made this happen!

I had to sign off of IRC last night. How did they get the modem off the phone as I know it was giving them EG12 at first. If they eventually got it, why wouldn't the same process work for EG30?

What rom is working the best with 2.3.6.?

Sent with the XDA app from my super cool Epic Touch 4G... The best phone ever!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
caulkin's rom is updated and using 2.3.6

So i think his

Senzation rom is using caulkins rom as base 2.3.6. but its having some bugs etc.

Those are the only 2 roms atm that are on 2.3.6 aka EK02.

Most should be updated soon.

So i guess Caulkins for now if you want 2.3.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Didn't he also release a stock 2.3.6 as well? I haven't followed that closely since I was on EG31
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
Yeah he released a stock 2.3.6 with root

Crap I spelled calkulin wrong the whole time ahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I'm sure Phatom will soon update his ROMs, including Blazer, now that the OTA is official. That would be your easiest path, since you already have Blazer ROM. You shouldn't would need to wipe data for that update.

If you go to Caulkin's or VeNuM, you'll need to do a full wipe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Actually if any rom gets updated from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 you will need a full wipe since the base will be off a different version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdgtcc:
Just los'd on calkulins 1.1 and ek02. :(. Hows everyone else's experience been. Barely 24 hrs on the new modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
The Los issue was fixed in the kernel or ROM if you only use the modem you will still get Los
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
I have to agree I got LOS like crazy before and since I've flashed Ek02 and the Rom I haven't experienced LOS a single time. Its like night and day. Now just looking forward to the ICS update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Yeah I ran ek02 ROM with eg31 modem for almost a week and didnt get one LOS. Finally have the new modem now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
The ROM doesn't matter when it comes to LOS. Based on the fact that you're still running 1.1, I'll go out on a limb and take a guess that you're either using the LoStKernel or Rogue Outlaw kernel. That is likely why you experienced LOS, because you're probably running a kernel built from Samsung's ****ty source code.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Oh so no matter what I will have to full wipe?

Sent with the XDA app from my super cool Epic Touch 4G... The best phone ever!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
I'm almost 100% positive that if the base changes you have to full wipe. I would say yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
Havnt gotten los at work today while at work where los usually or most of the time happens

I wish people would post what rom/modem/kernel setup when they report los. Its annoying, and then they dont ever post again until like 2312243 weeks later
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't think that is true in the general case or the OTA update wouldn't work. It doesn't wipe your data. I'm sure there are specific situations where it is true though.

I was running LoStKernel. Are there any good ones for Calkulins 1.1? I wasnt sure so I decided I wanted to mess with Calks 2x. So Ill see how this works. Battery life for me was terrible on 1.1. It was hit or miss, it seemd off the charger it would drop rapidly until i rebooted, then level off. Well see what this brings.

Any ideas why it failed? Here's my phone details.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you change your build.prop to get 50gb?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rcurtis13:
no. why would that have any effect?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
build.prop is how it determines what model your phone is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rcurtis13:
huh, ok. so what do I need to change exactly? I see the file in /system/build.prop..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Sorry I think you mistook what I meant. If you didn't change it, there is nothing for you to do, that file is not the issue. If you did change it, you need to change it back.

Gotcha. No I haven't changed anything at all aside from doing the root procedure I linked above. The exact error I get is below (I just tried it again). Perhaps I have the wrong file? The link on the first post of the thread for the "rooted EK02 update" goes to a folder and I guess I'm not convinced that SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02-rooted.zip is the one I should be using to just apply the OTA to a rooted phone.

Not true. See my post in calk's thread on how to update without wiping /data.

That's the right file if you are using CWM. From what I can tell, it is complaining about some file being what it isn't expecting, not necessarily the file that is showing up on the screen though. I would suggest you reflash a pulled EG30 ROM/kernel.

It isn't done by region, it is done by random.

If you're MEID isn't selected you can check forever and it won't download anything.

If you are impatient you can download the OTA update manually and install it by hand. See FAQ E12 in the Auto Root sticky and skip the sections that don't apply to you.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
No, that flashed Modem, Kernel, and ROM to EG30.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So...I should make a CWM backup of my current state, flash the tar in that link with Odin so I have the EK02 modem, then restore the CWM backup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Yes sir. That's good to ALWAYS do when flashing anything.

Brought to you by Team Nocturnl & my Blended E4GT...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Backup you should always do, can't have enough of those.

If all you want to do is get EK02 modem, that ODIN link is probably overkill.

I would just flash EG30 modem in CWM or ODIN

Modem - EG30 (full update) [CWM] [ODIN]

Then flash EK02 modem in CWM

Modem - EK02 (patch EG30->EK02) [CWM]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So, backup in CWM, flash EG30, then EK02, gotcha. So those zip's are ONLY the modem, nothing more? I don't want to reboot and find myself in the 2.3.4 stock ROM or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, that is all correct. I usually keep an archive of my CWM backups off the phone just as good practice.

Lol yeah, but as stated above there are two zip's I can flash, so Odin is overkill.

Hence go back to EG30 then you go to EK02, like I had originally said.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Right, so flashing these zips doesn't touch the OS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think the difference is the link you originally referred to would install stock EG30 Modem, Kernel and ROM when all he needed was just the EG30 modem which could then be upgraded to the EK02 modem. That is why it was overkill, both as a download and as a downgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:

Distance isn't always related to ping time. You could always CWM back to EG30 to see if it goes back to what you saw before. If not, then it is probably network related.

Sound good but update tar like update pulled from Mr Kings will only take to EG30.

Only true way around this issue is if sprint /Samsung release EG30 stock base then from that point update tar can be applied properly so basically were screwed.

wouldnt the update tar be complete cuz it will be odined. I dont think they would want to ota every phone they have to fix

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
sprint is touting this as a major release due to bug fixes. they would issue a full stock to their support teams (how they did for the original epic at least) for ease of providing support. From there, we generally get a kind soul to leak it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Once Sprint gets the full EK02 tar update (which includes a full modem, system and kernel) you should be able to ODIN back to stock, repartition if you want, using that tar and pit (because it contains the full EK02 modem, not just a EG30 patch) no matter where you're coming from, because everything gets wiped, just like the EG31-EG30rev 5 tar.

I guess I could be wrong though...but pretty confident.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am going to wait till the official release comes out. I don't want to risk not being able to use the official one if somehow this leak messes that up and won't allow us to flash if the official release ends up being different. My advice is if you are on EG30 and your phone does not have problems then wait no matter how tempting this might sound.
