Bit confused

Couldn't someone just flash the stock rooted update that Calk put up?

what's the difference actually? Just a bit confused not hating or anything :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
This gets you back to stock EG30 (bootloader, secondary bootloader, modem/kernel/recovery/rom, /data, cache, Sprint-preinstall, boot logos) *irrespective* of whether you want to go to EK02. If your phone is all messed up and you want to get back to what the phone was shipped with you would use this. It differs than the EG31 ODIN tar in that you can get the Official Sprint EK02 OTA update and have it apply properly.

What Calk put up is the rooted EK02 Kernel/ROM only.

This may not be useful for you, but it is useful for some people.

Nice downloading when I get home from school

This is awesome, thanks for posting.

This is what we have all been waiting for. I'm glad we have the one that wipes your data for a fresh clean Odin. Now we need ek02.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Thanks sfhub
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, everyone who has this phone should have a copy of this just in case stuff happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b182guitar:
Sweet! thanks!

Just to make sure, if i ODIN flash this i can *SAFELY* Go from my EG31 Radio to EG30?

Just want to make sure since it was not possible to downgrade in the past.

thank you for the help in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This will make everything EG30 like you just took it out of the box
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scoobmd:
I'm going to take my phone in to be checked out.

How important is resetting the Odin count and how do you do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
IMO I don't think it is that important. The yellow triangle is more obvious and some techs might look twice.

The way to reset is with USB jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For FAQ section:

Will this get rid of the Yellow Triangle and reset the ODIN Flash Count?

Flashing this will get rid of the Yellow Triangle (if you have it) and will NOT increase the ODIN count.

However it will not reset the ODIN count if it was non-zero (though it won't be visible anymore).

If you need to reset the ODIN flash count, use a USB jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For the FAQ section:

What are the differences between this and the leaked EG30 ODIN tar file?

This differs from the leaked EG30 in the following ways:

- this is a full factory restore. The leaked EG30 left your User Data and some other partitions untouched.

This addresses that by resetting /cache, /data, and /system/.lfs in addition to what the leaked EG30 handled

- md5 checksum signature was added to the tar file to protect integrity

- changed ordering to flash unused recovery.bin partition first to test setup before more important partitions

- to be more descriptive, tar filename was renamed from HOME.tar to SPH-D710.EG30_CL435734_PDA.tar.md5

- password requirement was removed

- compressed with open source 7-zip instead of proprietary rar for additional space savings

- self-extracting and bundled with ODIN for your convenience
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tahde:
Nice! Thanks for this. Something always good to have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gilbot:
Will this touch internal SD at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Flashed tar my ET is reborn.

EK02 OTA hasn't been sent so I'm thinking Auto Root , EG30CWM Kernel then flashing EK02 zip posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
No. If you select re-partition it probably will, but that wasn't tested by me, nor is it set by default.

A no go on SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02 zip.

Ive tied to install twice getting abort.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Could you go over what you did and/or post the error msg?

To verify this does work, I just

1) downloaded the EG30 ODIN tar from the first post

2) installed it on my phone

3) downloaded the Official EG30->EK02 Sprint update from the first post

4) placed update on external sdcard (renamed it to update.zip out of habit, but it shouldn't be necessary)

5) booted to stock recovery and applied update successfully
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
for the record i chose to repartition and it left internal sd untouched.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
So the reason its not taking is because I'm trying to flash through CWM :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Any chance of posting a mirror for the .exe? Hotfile is not working for me. If I could just get the file I could upload to multiupload.com
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
In the process of being uploaded.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Not working for me either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
I get an error seven when trying to flash thru cwm from eg31. Same error i got when I tried to flash the ek02 upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
First link is multi-upload now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
What are you trying to flash? Official EK02 upgrade is meant to be flashed from Stock Recovery. It will fail from CWM.

Error 7 usually means one of the files the update is checking for changed or isn't present. That includes the kernel. If you are disciplined you can figure out which one or you can just use one of the links in at the top of the first post that restored EG30 ROM/Kernel leaving your data intact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Not sure what is up, just now, I was able to download from both the original link and the new multi-upload. Maybe it is some DNS or routing problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
I think he is referring to the first download link not the new one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Just tried to do the update to ek02 as stated above and I just get the triangle with the exclamation point.. and just stays there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Right, I was able to download with both, about an hour ago. I just moved the original link to be the mirror link since it still works (for me), so the file must still be there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I believe it is actually updating, it takes a while. I thought it was stuck there too at first. There should be some status bar at the bottom that may seem like it isn't moving.

If it really doesn't do anything for 10 minutes, then press a couple of the buttons like back, home, power and see if you can get back to the covered up recovery screen to see if there is an error showing up.

It is hard to think of an error though because everything it is checking for on your phone was re-written to EG30
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
Are you trying to do the update with CWM or through stock recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Just got signature verification failed, install_package = (2) installation aborted when trying to apply the update

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ma$etas:
i want to install the update as well so wondering if your using the stock recovery or CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhcomputerguy:
Just worked.. Did not like copying the file to the sdcard through the phone. Had to put the sdcard in a card reader to copy it over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The Official Sprint OTA update will only run using stock recovery. The rooted OTA update will only run using CWM.

I added links to both the Official Sprint OTA and the Rooted OTA in Resource #A1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I used to do this as a fail safe but this phone has been pretty good about copying to SD. If you want to cut out unknown variables, putting the SD card directly into your PC helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aleph23:
Thanks for the help! I got rogue recovery to work, but no cwm. Now on EK02!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chuhsi:
strange...everything looked good in odin..phone reset.

now i get prompted for a password.

help!!!??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think this is the phone's protection against someone stealing your phone and overwriting it, bypassing your lock code.

Try entering whatever lock code you had. If nothing works, after a number of wrong entries, it'll supposedly warn you it is going to erase SD and if you enter the wrong code one more time, it'll erase sd, then boot normally after that. I don't think any of this happens if you didn't have a lock code.

This is what I've heard, so use at your own risk, but please do post results if you try it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
cant flash eg30 to k02 update

Can someone please help me. I have restored my phone to complete stock...even restored original bootloaders and used my MSL to erase nvram and sprint login info. Every time I try to install the update using the stock recovery I get "script aborted (no error message) E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)

install_package =1

installation aborted"

Anybody know how to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Which OTA package did you download? The Sprint Official OTA or the rooted OTA?

The Sprint Official OTA is meant to run with STOCK recovery. The rooted OTA is meant to run with CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
Im using the official OTA update. Ive also tried using the rooted update through CWM and get a similar error.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
When you restored to stock using the ODIN factory restore, EVERYTHING the OTA update checks for was put in place, so the only thing I can think of is the OTA update.zip you are putting your EXTERNAL SD card is corrupted. Are you copying to SD card over the USB cable, using your phone as a USB writer?

There was a person earlier who had an issue with doing that.

Try taking the EXTERNAL SD card out of the phone, copying the OTA update.zip to the external SD on a PC, then placing the SD card back into the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
I don't have an adapter to plug the micro SD into my computer unfortunately. Does it matter that my phone checks for a firmware update every single time I reboot it, and it says there no update available? Wouldn't it try to download the official update OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think it only does that when you boot into stock recovery. If you reboot normally it shouldn't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The checking for firmware thing only happens after running the stock recovery. It shouldn't happen for a normal reboot.

Could you run a md5sum on the OTA update.zip on your external SD (the one on the phone, not the one on the PC that you copied to the phone)

182a027d4f63.SPH-D710_update_EG30_to_EK02.zip [MD5: 49bc6cab6887015557a4d4950813c554]

md5 should match what is listed above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
The md5 check yielded the same exact md5 you listed above. Does this mean that file is not corrupt?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, not a file problem, they are exactly the same.

I'm a little stumped. Will go over your past posts to see if something got missed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Just to confirm, you did use the ODIN package in the first post of this thread to restore to stock right?

Also after doing that, all you did was ##72786# (or ##786#) reset right? Nothing else was installed, modified, or deleted on/from your phone, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
Yes, this is correct.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Ok, other than try everything from the beginning again, my other suggestion would be try the "full" EK02 update.

1) Use the Auto Root sticky to root your phone (choose Option A)

2) Use the Auto Root sticky to install EG30+CWM (choose Option C)

3) d/l to sdcard - rooted EK02 Kernel/ROM/no modem (full update) [CWM]

4) d/l to sdcard - EK02 modem (patch EG30->EK02) [CWM]

5) boot into recovery

6) install update zip from #3

7) install update zip from #4

8) boot into android

Between steps 6&7, it might reboot, I forget. If it does, boot back into recovery and finish step 7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
OK, everything went great up until the modem installation. I tried installing it and got this exact message "script aborted (no error message) E:Error in /sdcard/EK02_Modem.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Try installing this one first:

Modem EG30 (full update) [CWM]

Then when that is done, install the EK02 modem.

I'm wondering if you installed the correct EG30 ODIN file way back in the beginning. There is another on in the stickies that actually is EG31.

What is the filename of the EG30 ODIN you installed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs3570:
This is the name of the file i used for the odin SPH-D710.EG30_CL435734-sfx

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

I flashed the eg30 modem using CWM, and that was completed successfully. Then I tried flashing the ek02 modem, which resulted in the exact same error I mentioned in the post before this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Try flashing the EK02 modem after a reboot.

You have the correct ODIN file then. If the above doesn't work, for some reason you are just unable to flash the EK02 modem update.

I do not know why. It is likely the same error you got hit with earlier when running the EK02 OTA update.

Your phone will run fine with EG30 modem and EK02 Kernel/ROM.

If you really want the EK02 modem, all I can suggest is you try the ODIN again, then try the OTA update again immediately afterwards.

BTW did you have any bad flashes before? It is still bothering me a little that we can't figure out why you can't flash the EK02 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Another shot in the dark. Try disconnecting your phone from your PC. Pulling the battery. Letting it sit for 10 minutes. Also try putting the EK02 modem update on a different SD card. Then try flashing the EK02 modem again.

If these sound silly with low probability of success, that is probably because they are, but there aren't that many options left.

Again, just to rule out mistakes, try the whole process from the beginning once over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Ok, I downloaded the stock recovery 3 different times all seem to be a 49mb file. I power my phone off then I go into stock recovery. next I go to apply update from sd card, and I cannot find the file. I checked all folders and files does not show up.

if I reboot my phone and search via e s file explorer I can find the file in the download folder.

why can't I seem to locate it in stock recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I'm not sure what you are downloading but

SPH-D710.EG30_CL435734-sfx.exe is NOT 49mb

I just downloaded now from the "multi" link using depositfiles.com and it was the size indicated in the first post.

Maybe you are downloading the OTA update. That is around 49MB.

BTW this is NOT "stock recovery" This is an ODIN EG30 Factory Restore. "stock recovery" means something completely different. ODIN is meant to be run on your PC writing to your phone over the USB cable. It is NOT meant to be run on your phone.

If you are downloading this on your phone, I'm guessing the connection is being cut off if the file takes too long to download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Sorry i should have been more specific. I did the ODin factory restore following all directions and that worked like a charm. I am selecting the sprint download link in the OP. (I feel like im screwing something up) I keep getting an automatic download not via.megaupload for 49mb. Maybe im just sleep deprived. Hope its that simple.

Im clicking on the blue "Stock Recovery" under section 1a. Does this need to be odin'd?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Ok, that makes more sense. That is the Sprint OTA update. It is supposed to be 49MB. It is labeled "stock recovery" because it is meant to be run using "stock recovery" (too many people think it can be run in CWM recovery, hence the labeling)

The "stock recovery" on your phone can only "see" an external SD card. Use file explorer to move it to the external SD and "stock recovery" should be able to find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Oh ok....thanks! I'll try it now. Thanks for your work and responses.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Is this what it should show?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, that is exactly what it should show. Congrats, you just manually installed EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Atreides Spawn:
the Sprint OTA links to stock recovery (OP posts #1 & #2) don't seem to be working for me. Using Chrome, the page just gets stuck loading ... no timeout or anything (going on 10 min now). Anyone else having trouble following those links?

UPDATE:

My bad.... it seems that I have some connectivity issues, and the link works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
" if you need to clear NVRAM/Sprint data login info"

now this is only needed if you want to sell the phone?.. or do i have to do it after ODIN this tar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You would do this if you want to sell your phone or if you are having data login troubles and want to get re-provisioned from scratch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Glad you found the issue. I was going to say, those are links to Google's OTA servers. If there is a problem, it is with Google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
This is the best method to use to get to stock IMO. I think it's worth the extra time to start fresh by restoring data and re-install all your apps. I've been trying different kernel and modem combinations on the stock ROM in the last week or so and I've gotten a few strange FC's and a couple random reboots. I'm getting ready to run the restore and got the notification that my update is available. The 49mb Sprint OTA file at the beginning of the thread is the exact same thing so I can install it manually with stock recovery after restoring. Is that correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, that is correct, you are even downloading it directly from Google servers just like your phone would be doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Got it. Your threads are the bomb, sfhub. After I run the restore and apply the update, the first thing I plan on doing (before installing apps and data) is to run option E with your root exploit and then do a Nandroid of the freshly restored and updated system. In the future, from that backup I can run option F to get CWM off my phone, unroot with B, and my phone will be stock again with the OTA applied. Feel free to comment if any of that is incorrect.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, Sub-Option E, of Option C and Sub-Option F, of Option C.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
worked perfect no problems what so ever thank you this is the best way to start fresh.

Same thing happened to me and I used my stock lockscreen PIN to proceed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
By popular request, Resource Section B in the 2nd post now includes each component of EG30 (modem, kernel, ROM) in separate individual tar.md5's ready to be dropped into your ODIN directory to be flashed.

These are 7-zip self-extractors. Just double-click on them and specify where your ODIN directory is. They will unpack automatically.

If you are on Mac or Linux just open up the .exe in 7-zip and you'll be able to extract the tar.md5 file for use with Heimdall.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stratus41298:
Hey, the "nodata" links don't work anymore. Actually, Despositfiles works but it would take about 40 minutes to download. Apparently Megaupload got pinched by the FBI.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
multiupload (not to be confused with mega) has been having troubles, probably peripherally related to the mega takedown, so I'm in the process of adding mirrors for all the different versions. EL13 is the last set being uploaded now. They are with depositfiles, which wasn't that slow for me, but it is probably situation dependent.

After EL13 is done, I'll may start redoing the multiupload links, but keep in mind they were having troubles with the upload links last time I tried so if you really need it, I would just use the depositfiles "mirror" link.

BTW I just tried the last "multiupload" link from wupload and it works:

http://www.wupload.com/file/2624588627/SPH-D710.EG30_CL435734_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Also if you need files, I would suggest downloaded them sooner than later. A lot of filelocker sites are starting to restrict sharing and availability could become restricted in the near future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I'm going to take your advice and grab all the files. I can't remember which version the last official Sprint OTA was. Is it EK02?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
EL29 was officially released by Sprint today. EK02 was the previous official version, though.

Memory card keeps dissapearing

I did this update when it first came out and at first everything was working fine up until about a week ago, my memory card keeps dissapearing once or twice a day. I thought maybe it was my memory card so I formatted it, error checked it and its fine. i put it back in my phone and it still randomly dissapears everyday. I then tried three different memory cards and still the same issue with those. Nothing get corrupted on the card all data is good, when I notice the memory card is not being recognized, I have to turn off my phone and restart it to get it to see memory cards again. I wonder if anyone is having the same issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Have heard of this on lg optimus but not on e4gt. You might want post in the q&a subforim
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Drumrocker:
Sounds like a hardware issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dp0074:
I believe that. I've noticed on both mine and my roommate's e4gt that a moderate bump seems to occasionally move the sd card enough to lose contact. Working the latch several times worked to fix mine, but not his. Still, worth a try, mebbe there's a bit of debris holding the mechanism from fully engaging the card to the pins, and you could work it free. Just a thought (and prolly not much of one, lol).

Sent from my palm to your face...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yes. Different combinations of modems and kernels will yield different results so its best to flash them and see what works best for you. Pretty muck everything EK02 and newer seem to have least signal problems
