How to Install?

thats the Question my Experience had to answer because i couldn't find a thread with Detailed Info on this. I will Use my Method as The Just-Another-Work-A-Round Method. Any Better Suggestions will lead to Me Updating this Post! Okay Shall we Begin?

you'll need:

Epic Touch 4G SGSII

CM9 Alpha 3.1 zip

Gapps [choose either one from above]

CM7 here: click/tap me

Mobile Odin Pro [linked in Part 2]

Patience & Strippers

Part One is assuming you are on fb17 with kernel and fb21 modem already installed...

If not, Please proceed to Part Two after Part One. Otherwise hopefully you are set!

PART ONE

Lets get Started:

1. BACK UP EVERYTHING!!!!! Nandroid is Your Friend! Do that!

2. Wipe Everything except battery stats!!

3. Flash CM7

4. Reboot fully then from OS reboot back to recovery

5. flash CM9 & then Gapps

*5b. wipe cache and/or wipe data factory reset

**5c. advanced restore data from latest backup

6. reboot the device and wait

7. You Should Now Be On CM9

* wiping data has been said to allow GPS to Work

**have yet to recieve any fc's but if you lose your recovery after flashing cm9 this step will have gotten you your data before hand

Now Lets Talk...

PART TWO

Youve already got yourself on Cm9 But Have no FB17 Kernel Or FB21 Modem:

youll need these items then as well:

Things Needed are:

1. Mobile Odin Pro its paid app so ??? pay up Or Use PC ODIN LINK:CLICK ME

2. FB17 Kernel

3a. FB15 Mobile Odin or Normal Odin

3b. FB21 Modem Mobile Odinor normal Odinor Zip Flash in Recovery

Note: Mobile Odin Link is just the bin file so it needs to be extracted first. if on Pc just extract zip and place bin in root directory of internal sdcard.

Process:

Once all files are On Your SDcard lets begin:

Since You just recently Flashed CM9 and probably have no recovery, i wont say back up but if you can shoot, that'll save time getting you back to cm9 if a fail.

1. Open Mobile Odin:

Scroll to Modem and select it, then internal sdcard, then locate modem.bin and select it. Now back at Odin Menu just

2. Scroll to Open File and select it, locate directory for FB17 kernel should be labled rouge et 1.2.1-rc2.tar and select it, Now back at Odin Menu finally

3. Scroll further down and select Flash Firmware

4. continue

5. continue your device should be rebooting and there you are!

The above is also mentioned by krazyflipj with a simplistic touch in Post 7

Also: Fresh Network has helped others restore LOS if they get it and that can be found here:

PART 3

Can't Get that Darned [extrenal] SDcard to mount?

you'll need:

1. this

its the vold.fstab file from FB17 and its a temp fix. Word is that it will be fixed in the next release and you wont need it after alpha3.1

2. I use root explorer or astro file manager so if you have either one continue, if not read the whole thing first and i will report a free fix other than adb push to the /system/etc folder cause i didnt use that method but it should suffice.

process:

1. unzip the vold.zip and put the contents someplace you can find easy[i chose root of internal sdcard]

2. now within root explorer i long pressed and selected copy from context menu,

scrolled up to the [ ... ] until you get back to root device dir., now select system then etc. once in etc folder make sure your folder is set to r/w not r/o and paste. once complete, reboot and your directory for external sdcard is located /sdcard/external sdcard/

Note: there are some error pop ups after this that say media or android ??? idk

i always choose wait and i havent had any real notable issues.
