I tried flashing the stock repacks and the android with the caution triangle pops up and does not flash. I couldn't find the EK02+CWM zImage but it doesn't seem to allow me to flash anything. I don't know if this helps any but before doing what you guys mentioned I tried using rom manager to flash CWM, but that didn't work.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Thanks a bunch guys, used Odin to flash the kernel back on, trying out ACS recovery since I've heard good things. Good as new!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well that's good to hear. At least you didn't sacrifice EK02 and end back up with problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Anyone on EG31 in the southeast who wants to try to get EK02, pm me.

Edit: Just so there is no confusion, I didn't go from EG31 to EK02, but I have a plan that has about a 20% chance of working, but it is worth a shot since it won't hurt anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
Yo Kings, how you getting from EG31 to EK02??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Can't say in the thread unfortunately, but if you are in the Southeast, and would be willing to let the devs tell you how to perform surgery on your phone and just trust them when they say they won't brick it, then pm me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc720:
Im not in the southeast, but i do have two eg30 devices on hand completely stock. Love to help anyway i can
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
You talking Samsung Devs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
How bout just south?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Nope, xda devs. It is unlikely it will even get to that point, but it is worth a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Sweet have you done this? Are you back on EK02?:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
No, see original post, I edited it (it was unintentionally misleading)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
I sent you a PM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xfusejc:
So if I flash the EK02 Radio and the radio alone over Calk's 1.5a ROM, do I lose root/CWM or does it simply update the baseband?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
No, only baseband.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xfusejc:
Perfect. Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
It only updates the baseband.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
This is a bad sign for us. If you replaced your phone, it was probably a refurb, and if it had EG30, then they obviously didn't use our tar in the refurb process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Out of curiosity, is there any way you could call up Samsung and say that something broke in the ROM, or say you would like to go back to the Stock Factory Image that samsung has, and have them give that to you?

That may possibly include the EG30, rather then the EG31 or what have you.

(or was this mentioned somewhere? Honestly, I tried going through all the pages this morning, and it was pretty rough)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] griffen97023:
I tried that they would not give me went sort of downloadable files
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
So you have a developer's phone number or e-mail address like kingsway has? At this point, I think the only people that would be able to get that file, would be anyone that has a direct affiliation with Samsung, Sprint, or someone like Kingsway who was offered the beta version of an OTA/Wired Upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
They would most likely send me to the store to have it Odin'd. I am starting to doubt that EG31 is official. I don't know if it was an internal build, but I have been searching for someone who got on EG31 naturally for two days and haven't found anyone. I already am getting back to EG30 through a different route, but I am trying to help the rest of you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Sourced:

From what I have been told by a reliable source, that OTA that was pulled from my phone is the final version and that Sprint will be rolling it out any day now, for certain by the end of the month. When you factor in the holidays, that means soon.

Speculation:

What that means for EG31 people, I don't know, but it looks like they might be waiting for someone to leak a tar (this hasn't been confirmed). Hopefully I am wrong. I haven't been able to find anyone that got on EG31 without flashing it themselves.

Edit: Clearly separate things I know to be true and things I am speculating on
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
Well i am pretty positive that some people's phones came with EG12 so im sure there will be a way to update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Samsung usually releases tars alongside the ota, making the issue moot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Most likely almost every phone "came with" EG12. It just wasn't being used. I haven't seen a single report of a phone that was shipped with EG12 as the active modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Yeah, I saw somewhere that you had found someone to do the EG30 swap, but were waiting till Monday. I am in the southeast as well, if you do need any extra volunteers (just fyi).

Definitely appreciate what you were able to do and get for all of us.

I am using "beta" from the developers point of view (was mentioned in the first thread in the general area).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sean1208:
So I've read through the thread, and just want to be sure before flashing. I downloaded SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02-rooted.zip 50831KB Nov 29 2011 03:19:44 AM from the linked site. I can just flash this and be good, right? I'm on EG30 and stock, so no issues there, but I want to be sure before I mess with the radio. Coming from an Incredible where I flashed ROMs every day, but never flashed a new radio before and don't want to brick my phone. What is the difference between this file and the first one, EKO2 radio?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, the full tar will come when the OTA is pushed. I am fairly certain of that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
I just upgraded to the new radio.... I was still on the original that came with the phone, I never flashed the newer one. I'll report back to let you know if I'm getting los. I was getting it quite regularly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
I keep thinking that the important thing is people running a custom kernel need to be testing this. I almost NEVER get Los on stock but with a custom kernel I'd get it about 5 times a day.

Anyone running EK02 and a custom kernel and seen a reduction in los?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Exactly. All phones shipped with eg30. No one started talking about different base bands until eg30 was attempted to be pulled and the eg31 tar came out. Somewhere along the flashing that person flashed a different radio. This mess will all be over when the ota comes out and the ek02 tar is released.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
king when you went to the store did they check your Odin count
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I didn't go to a store....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Oh OK cuz I have to take my phone in and I'm worried about the count
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I just flashed the radio and kernel, so far so good. Any idea on how to get my old boot animation back though? Using Blazer rom and really loved that boot anim.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
You need to delete or rename the current bootanimation.zip file and copy over the one you want to that location.

It's in the /system/media folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I dont have a bootanimation.zip

I have the bootsamsung.qmg, the bootsamsungloop.qmg and a sanim.zip which actually is the boot animation I want =(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I believe it gives you EG12, which is bad
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Is there any update on how your EG30 tests are going?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
What up Kings, any progress on going from EG31 to EG30?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I have no idea what you are talking about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I was under the impression that EG31 was an official baseband. I don't think it is since nobody has been able to say they got on it without doing it themselves, which means my plan won't work and we have to wait for a tar. I think EG31 was an internal Samsung build. I suggest going to a sprint store and just having them Odin you to true stock. There is usually a fee if you dont have insurance but if you handle it right you can get that waived. Remenber, your wildcard is threatening to cancel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Odin flash here or at store Its doesn't make difference,

Sprints flashing EG31 tar that was leaked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
Kings, so the Sprint stores can get me from radio EG31 to EG30? I just emailed my contact at my local Sprint shop to see which update they are using to restore this phone with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
NO.

Sprints doesn't have EG30 tar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
Well I tried the EK02 and I have to say its been about 4 days and no LOS. Working great seeing as I was getting LOS about 2-3 times an hour before. If its not fixed I can def live with those numbers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
What up Sling, okay. Thanks for the heads up. I guess it's time to exercise patience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I remember you saying earlier that you were looking for someone in the southwest to test something, on how to go from the EG31 radio to EG30 radio using some form of flashing however you were going to wait till Monday to continue testing. Does that help ring a bell?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yep I think Sling is right. If Sprint had a EG30 TAR, we would have it. It boggles my mind that Samsung sent Sprint a different bundle than what they shipped with the phones (EG31). Yet they know the phones have EG30 as their EK02 is a delta of EG30.

It's like some dude at Samsung had "send Sprint a system tarball for the E4GT" order on his to-do list, didn't do it, got yelled at by his manager, then didn't pay attention and quickly scanned through the builds and said "hmm this one looks right". I mean seriously .. it makes no sense.

Edit - then again, maybe they knew EG30 was a bit ****ed up so they sent EG31 as a "step in the right direction" lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
That isn't even close to what I said, this is how rumors get started lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I will believe this when I can find someone who ended up on EG31 because of Sprint lol, believe me, I have looked. I fond people who got refurbs with EG30, no one with EG31. Not saying it isn't true.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I believe Sprint reps that are all over forums posting they received EG31 builds on their notebooks to be used as recovery.

My local corp store tech confirmed it as well.

I would like to know if EG31 is being flashed in box.

If not were going to be waiting sometime for update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I was out and about all day and while I definitely never lost signal, I never had a great signal with 3g or 4g. I am happy though because loss was so annoying before. Thanks soooo much for this. My wifi seems to work better too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
What kernels are you guys using? hopefully not stock? :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Many are now due to problems with LOS. That hopefully be resolved though when Samsung releases the kernel source code for EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I get the general impression that the people who aren't using the stock EK02 kernel and modem are the ones still getting LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
that's what I'm trying to get a feel for. I keep seeing people say "I haven't seen a LOS since I updated" but I don't see one either running EG31........when I'm on a stock kernel.

I was hoping EK02 actually fixed the problem across all kernels...just haven't seen anyone really say.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I am running chris' repacked stock cwm5 ek02 kernel woth ek02 modem. Again no los but never full 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
My contact at the local Sprint store told me to do a factory reset to get back to EG30....is this right? It just seems way to easy considering all the posts on this thread. I am on stock Android with EK02 kernel and EG31 radio.....

Thanks XDA members for all the help and info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
No, your sprint store tech is unqualified for his job, don't let him touch your phone and don't follow his advice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bane126:
Thanks Kings, this is why I love XDA. You guys are awesome.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
lost the use of wifi?

So, I upgraded my modem to EK02 a few days ago, and everything was going great; now, suddenly, today, I can not use my home wifi any more..It connects, as always, but, when connected to wifi, I can't use any data functions; no email, no speed tests, nothing..

As soon as I turn off wifi, everything works perfectly again..

I've updated my profile, and pro, and tried all the obvious fixes, but no go.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
If that's a true LOS, it's the first I've heard of on full EK02. I'd be interested in seeing your Status page as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
No one ever said you can't get LOS on stock, its just more frequent with kernels built from source since it appears samsung doesn't even follow their own source
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Just wanted to pop in and say thanks again. Today i had great service. I troed out the rogue kernel and it dropped my quadrant score to 2741. Went back to this one because my quadrant score is always between 3650 and 3850 without even overclocking. It's lightening fast. Let me know if you change it to allow custom boot animations. I hate the sprint one lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah that's stock EK02 though, kernel and modem, which was hoped to have finally killed the LOS bug. That's discouraging if it's the LOS that most people experience and not some other service related anomaly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
A factory reset doesn't change anything except the data partition, and there is a chance that the built-in factory reset will fail if you installed CWM (never tried it but I suspect so).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
You can replace the sprint one with the stock samsung boot animation using the procedure here:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I have confirmed that this is a known bug with the OTA and is the reason it has not been pushed in an official manner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
I guess eg31 aint lookin so bad now.... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
Thank you so much....if I can change that, my phone will be....dare I say almost perfect? LOL Have you done this? I thought this kernel didn't support custom boot animations because it is stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I'm rocking eg31 modem with eko2 kernel and haven't had LoS in at least a week. I used to get LoS every day, multiple times per day. I'm a happy camper.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
That combination has been great for me as well. I have no complaints at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Thanks to the xda member/sprint employee who replaced my phone with an eg30 phone (he asked me not to reveal his name).

Edit: I don't know why I quoted JohnCorleone in this post, almost looks like I am taunting him lol. It was a mistake.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Yes, I've done it. This is the way to do it for the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wow really? So does that mean you are back on EK02 then or are you staying put and waiting for the OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
OMG I LOVE YOU!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Nope, back on EK02 (at least until I brick somehow and need to use the EG31 tar lol). In all honesty though I didn't have 1 LoS in the week I was on EG31. I think the fix is in the kernel or ROM itself. It is interesting to note that the refurb I received came with EG30, not EG31.

There is going to be a stock tar leaked eventually though when the OTA comes out anyway.

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

LOL my deactivated phone is still trying to download the update. It is going to confuse the crap out of the tech guy who processes the incoming phones from Sprint swaps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Wase confirmed in another thread that this was his routers fault so this is debunked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I can tell you with 100% certainty, there is a wifi bug that is being investigated by Samsung and that is why the ota has not been released.

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

It is a really obscure and minor bug and most will never see it apparently. Don't even know if Samsung will address it. I was asked by Samsung if I was seeing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
The source for EK02 was released over at Open Source Samsung. That means the update should roll out sometime very soon. #LOSFix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Awesome. Looks like EK02 is the final build lol. This should be interesting for the EK31 peeps. Did you RSS the page or something lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
i am on ek31 now what?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
A full system TAR leak should follow shortly thereafter.

I'm looking forward to some custom kernel goodness off EK02 soon. Get crackin you guys!!! :D:D:D

Thanks for the news bubby ... that's great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Nope. Went to grab the EB30 sources to work on the prebuilt kernel and found that instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
S:D710.0.5S.EK02 was released by sprint. Should be hitting everyone's phones within 10 days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pats4life100:
So if I'm on 31 there is no way at all I can get the EK02 modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Once we get the .tar file for ek02 you should be able to switch. Only a matter of time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pats4life100:
Great can't wait cause my signal be buggin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
So, how about that OTA update....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Don't think that will help. That looks to be beyond the capabilities of an OTA to address.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I was thinking about Odin flashing full EG31 tar to see if update will apply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Is the radio in this thread the SAME EXACT one as the one being pushed in the OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
Yes, BUT we're hoping someone on 100% STOCK EG31 gets pushed the update and pulls the update.zip from their cache. We current only have the EG30 to EK02 update. EG31 to EK02 patch(delta) is still needed.

If anyone gets pushed the update do NOT install/reboot yet. Say something in this thread or come to the #ICS-DEV-E4GT IRC chan for help extracting the update so it can be posted here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yet Again:
Hey...I'm stuck on EG31. And this is my first post regarding it. I'm not freakin out on nobody.

chris im on eg30 why would I need a new modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pats4life100:
Do if I Odin back to complete stock will that wipe the 31 or I will still be on it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I was just trying to change the subject ...lol. Unfortunately, I think we are going to have to wait until someone gets the full tar. Hopefully Squshy gets,it soon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I think squshy's source and the guy who replaced my phone are the same person, and would be shocked if he/she didn't leak the tar as soon as they have access to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am rooted and on EG31 modem and just got OTA...it will fail if you try to take it but someone else just got it and it worked. I am stock waiting for it to get pushed again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
next time pull the battery then pull the update from cache. be interesting to see if its a eg30 to ek02 update thats failing.. or a new eg31 to ek02 update
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:

Unfortunately the update over an EG31 failed for qbking so I guess we remain SOL for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leodesol:
So, does this mean there is no point in trying to flash EG12 then apply official update? Sounds like this means the update is the same as what we had, so I am guessing it wouldn't work either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
I guess I am one of the lucky ones, since going to EK31 modem over a week ago, I've not had one LOS!

So for me, getting off of 31 isn't a real priority.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What's strange is the 4g Hotspot issue is fixed on EG31 for me (doesn't disconnect when receiving a call) and I don't have to reboot if I lose signal. This is in conjunction with EK02 kernel. I am ok waiting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
So i flashed the ek02 radio and kernel the other day and had spotty and weak signal. Called sprint today and they sent a signal to my phone and now my 3g signal is mad good. I even have 3g in my house where I never had before. I don't even live in a 3g area. I was starting to worry but all is well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Had you previously updated your Profile and PRL?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] raveniselizabeth:
I actually did that this morning a few hours before I called them trying to help it a little. I called them for something else and just asked them if they could ping my phone and they did LOL.

I have a question if yall know (which I am sure ya do). Is there a big difference between the update that is happening now and the leaked EK02 Modem and Kernel that were leaked? Just wondering if I should go back to EG30 and get the OTA or if what I already have is the same thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:

Wait.....I am still on 2.3.4 and I updated the kernel and the radio already. On blazer rom tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You wont change to 2.3.6 unless you flash Calkulin's 2.0 version or (I believe) VeNuM's ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
