Odin cwm5 and flash su.zip

Sent from my Nexus Slide 4G
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
And if he want's to keep CWM he'll have to flash another kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Hmmm ... so is there a way to just get the modem outta this package , instead of having to do the extra steps ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] xplus93:
Or flash a zip of a real rom like CM or MIUI and never have to see touchwiz, lol. i'll use this to get the fc09 modem, the el30-fc09 zip didn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Might want to update your instructions with info on checking repartition...

But thanks for the file.. will be getting an updated how to unroot video very soon. Might as well do an updated how to root video as well
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
I just got my Epic 4G back to play with again, after 11 months! is this the most current stock ROM for the device? would love to know how to root it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
About the OP instructions, was the victory PIT omission intentional or not needed for this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Why is it necessary? Stock ROM repartition by default. Adding a PIT just is an extra command if you needed to do a different structure. Even if you have changed your partitions, this is revert it anyways.

Can anyone confirm this? Or is the inclusion of the victory pit necessary to prevent soft-bricking?
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Noobnl recommends that the PIT is used.

You need to check re partition if you are on MTD. If on BML you don't need to check re partition.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Interesting, maybe I need to hit up my old friend. Meanwhile, checking repartition without selecting a PIT doesn't do anything different I don't think. If you run the .md5 through ODIN on your Epic one of the first things it does is pull the PIT and repartitions the device at the very beginning. Isn't that all that needed? I'm not argueing, I'm just trying to learn and verify what I know
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
From what I've been told you need the PIT file when checking re partition. I dont think its necessary if you dont check it
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Absolutely.
[Epic 4G Android Development] crazyc78:
I can confirm that following all the steps that we have done before to go back to stock and then rooting all just worked for me. Like Qbking said if you are on MTD you have to make sure that repartition is checked. I just flashed SU and I am good to go. I like flashing new stuff and playing around with my phone so I thought I would give it a go. Thanks for this Whosdaman!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
Okay, I will add in the extra step

You're welcome

FC09 modem.bin

Here is the FC09 modem.bin for use in Heimdall: http://d-h.st/kAt

For some reason Odin won't flash my tar. It is hanging up. Trying something different. BRB with it I hope.

OK I got it...tar uploading now.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

OK here is the FC09 modem tar for Odin: http://d-h.st/Hnl

Tim, please throw this into the modems thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
You can just put the modem.bin into the phone slot of odin.. no need for a tar
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
D'OH! I forgot that works...LOL. Well they are both there and tested now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] B5Z:
Thanks for this!!!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread, but if this helps anyone, these are the steps I took to ROOT after updating to FC09......

1.) ODIN - CWM5.0.2.7 tar (Place In PDA Slot)

a.) Auto-Reboot is UNCHECKED

b.) Remove the battery then re-insert the battery

2.) 3-finger to recovery + flash SU.zip (from sd card)

Then boot to system: you're now on rooted stock w/ CWM recovery........

Next:

1.) Flash your choice of custom ROM through CWM
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Great thread............Thank you so much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrleprechaunboy:
Can you make a back up while unrooted, flash this, then restore data?? It's been so long since I havn't been rooted so I have no clue lol. Wanted to know because my roommate with the same phone is interested, but he doesnt want to lose his data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I don't think so
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
Just root what he has now and make a backup. Then flash and root this, and advance restore data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Schnadam:
how the speed on this modem anyway. Significantly better? I'm on EH17
[Epic 4G Android Development] rando991:
Didn't you have to flash a custom Kernel or at least edit out the stock recovery install script to keep CWM from reverting back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
Correct - if you boot into the stock rom it will replace CWM.

Options:

Flash another ROM straight away

Boot up - delete recovery script - re-odin CWM (to keep stock kernel)

Flash a custom kernel

Would be great for an md5.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vicvega:
I wonder how everyone is getting this rom to work on their devices. Ive downloaded it a few times tried using different cables and every time I power the device on the phone is on airplane mode and wont even do the hands free activation. I wont get out of airplane mode. Ive tried to Odin the FC09 modem and that does not work either. So how's everyone else accomplishing it? Ive flashed my phone before many times and I was running CM9 but decided to give this a try. Any suggestions will be apprecieated..............Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Did you check repartition and include the PIT file that came with Odin? If you were on CM9 then you were on MTD and need to repartition. Also try it with the battery out and the sd card out. You didn't check EFS clear did you? There should have been no need to do the hands free activation unless you did. At this point you may need to have Sprint activate it again over the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vicvega:
Yep, I did that and more. But here's how I got it to work.

Downloaded the FC09 modem tar provided by Kenny Glass http://d-h.st/Hnl

I flashed the rom with odin.

Then I odined the FC09 modem tar

and that worked.

I came back to delete my post but saw that you had replied and I figured I'd post in case anyone else would expirience the same issue I had.

Thanks again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Looks like you had a bad modem flash with the original tar. Glad the modem file helped.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mookiemoo:
keeping it simple

ok guys, why cant one just odin the fc09 bin file in the phone slot and hit start with just auto reboot selected??? i am running cm9 with shadow kernel. will that simple one step process not work????
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
It should unless you are on the older odin. Try the fc09modem.tar.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
Hey guys I just got done re doing almost everything after I tried to odin this running the peoples rom 2 mtd without checking re partition and now i'm just going to ask if I DO check re partition, will it just change my baseband or will it still wipe everything like it did earlier? If so I think I'm just going to stick with the gingerbread el30. Thanks in advance for any help.

Swiftstrike763
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
To change just the modem always only have reboot checked at top. Repartition is ONLY for flashing the whole firmware to get you back to bml which wipes all data. Modem flashing does not wipe data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
And don't use the pit? Because last time I used the pit, didn't check repartition and had auto reboot checked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Here's the how to video!

Korey if you want to add it to the briefmobile site, I know it will help some people out. And the OP
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
I'm sorry guys color me stupid but im gonna go out on a limb and guess that I can't install this without going back to stock first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaggettBeaver:
It IS stock, and you don't need to go back to anything. Just install it as instructed and it will put stock FC09 on your phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
Right so I'd have to install it and do everything all over again. I see now.

I'm running peoples rom. 2 mtd so if I odined this would it change anything besides the baseband? Cus I tried to Odin it earlier and it wiped everything
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Providing you are talking about the full firmware tar in the OP and not just the modem, that is what odin does with a full tar. Makes your phone like right out of the box.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
Ohhhhh I'm sorry. So is there a link to just the modem somewhere in here? Im sorry Im not trying to waste anyone's time this is just very confusing for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] koop1955:
Use just the modem from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123103

Use Odin to install.

I would only use the "Official" if I wanted to or had start over with my phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swiftstrike763:
Thanks!!!!! I really appreciate all of your time guys I'm confident I'm good to go now.

Thanks again everyone and take care.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ghmacdonald:
I am unable to use the download link for the FC09 tar. It sends me to BriefMobile when I click on it. When I click on the download link there fr the tar it takes me to JUMBO and I have no idea how to download it from there.

Thanks

No, just try downloading it once more. Occasionally users report download errors. It happens. Try downloading again first and see if that helps.

I added in .tar after the "REL" and it passed md5 check

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

but now i'm freezing on setupconnection on 2 computers. It used to be so easy to Odin. *sigh*

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

Finally got past the setupconnection part. I was trying to odin on 2 different computers. each comp had a separate micro usb cable. I took my thicker cable that I bought from here http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-A-Male-Micro-B-Cable-Feet/dp/B004GF8TIK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1334352416&sr=8-2 and tried it on the my other desktop. What do you know? it worked. Thing is both of the Odins on both computers showed yellow with a com port so I thought the connection was fine. But I was stumped so I was just trying everything. And it worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RainMotorsports:
Here, BriefMobile pulled out of our arrangement because they ended up not needing my services. I told him he could keep the link up until the 24th but I guess he decided to pull it.

For those of you having trouble -

[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
I'm downloading the file from Jumbofiles and going to test myself and see if it needs to be be reuploaded

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Let me know if you need a mirror.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RainMotorsports:
You guys can continue using the link above as a mirror. I say the 24th because its when the bandwidth is rolling over. But as of now there really is no traffic for it since BriefMobile changed the link. Depending i can leave it up indefinitely as it would have if Brief had not pulled out.

So, if I want to upgrade to 32Gb card I just pop it in? Do I need to do anything special, like format?

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
If it comes with FAT32 file system on it you are fine. If it don't recognizethe card then you will have to format it. You may want to back up your current card and restore files on the new card to get pix and custom ringtones.

When I am using ODIN I keep getting stuck on Modem. It goes through everything else fine and just hangs up here. I have tried different ports on my pc and getting no luck.

Edit: I did not use the PIT file and it worked fine without any issues this time.

What is the PIT file for anyways?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Mapping the original partitions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mynewepic10:
Well not sure if I needed it or not, but phone is working fine without it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
That's because it repartions right at the beginning... so when you did it the second time it was already partitioned back, which is why you didn't need the pit

If you Odin'd in the full tar listed hear then you have hardware issues. This is the complete stock software package.
[Epic 4G Android Development] iNv8r:
I did Odin this tar. Still no dice with the rear cam, front cam or flash. I just couldnt see all 3 failing at once. Looks like I may have to unroot and take it back to the service guy.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Whosdaman:
That is the strangest thing I've ever heard
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
As mentioned, if it does not work immediately after Odining this firmware then it is not going to work. Do not restore, root, or add apps. If it is not working then, go directly to Sprint with it.

Just as a side note, I decided to odin back to stock from CM9 RC1, I didnt have repartition checked off.. CM is mtd, yes? My odin went flawlessly as did the boot up.. Weird being stock, its been a looong time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mucus_android:
i odined this in the other night because I wiped system and powered off my phone.

I was then unable to boot to recovery.

I saw this and said "hey i can odin that in and cwm and be set"

so that' s what i did.

All went well. . . .

I am not on sprint as my carrier, this is going to be important.

I noticed that my phone wasn't making a connection the next morning.

I tried to dial a phone number, the phone said it couldn't allow me to do that.

I realized at this point that the programming i did for it to be on Virgin Mobile has been wiped out.

So I go into the phone and check ##data# and punch in the SPC that I set.

It won' t take my spc anymore . . .

Does anyone know the spc for this?

[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Yes, this is the official latest stock rom.

If you want to be thorough, then flash this. If you just want stock, then you can also flash the pre-rooted version and simply move/delete the superuser.apk file. Either way, do a CWM backup of your setup to revert back after the repair.
