hey chris i meant no disrespect to you and hope none was taken. You have always done amazing work. In was merely stating I have taken the safe route with this phone as it is more prone to bricking than our old epics. Thank you for your contributions and willingness to help others including agat. Looking forward to seeing the new recovery. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
none taken.. as you can see above the new wipes I added are merely running a rm command from the terminal line in a background.. which i can change the others to do.. I have never looked at calks zip but im sure he either does that or formats.. formatting is better, but i dont if its safe since ive been back on the scene now for about 2 days and havent flashed or developed anything.. just done some reading..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
Whew. I was worried I had stepped on your toes! I have had nothing but respect for you and your work since the old epic days and truly appreciate all of it. If there is anything possibly I can do to help let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
As far as I know from my testing back in the day the "pre-theme wipe" only wipes cache and dalvik but it may be better to eliminate any individual partition wipes if you think it may save even one person until this mess gets straightened out
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
Can someone please give me step-by-step instructions for flashing this kernel with mobile odin pro. Seems everytime I attempt it the phone always stops at the Bootup screen. I start from FE16 everything(Modem, Kernel, etc.). Then I flash the "StockACS5-EL26.tar.md5" with the Kernel parameter of mobile odin and hold down the up-arrow key and the power key at the same time which gets me into ACS recovery. There I load and run Calk's FORMAT ALL script and then run the FE16_repack_ACS.zip. When it finishes and attempts to reboot it get stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy S II' screen. I have flashed several ROMs, kernels and modems so I'm not entirely a noob at this. What can I be doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated... :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greatlakesghost:
How long are you giving it to boot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesissocool:
This is a kernel. If you format all, you are basically doing a "safe" wipe. Your phone wont have a ROM to load. Install a ROM, then when you odin EL 26, flash this kernal, but only wipe cache and dalvik. That's it. Reboot.

Do not do a data wipe (stop laughing guys) nor use Calks format script.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
Okay, what ROM do you suggest for a stock ROM? Oh, and I do know NOT to do a data reset...:D Oh, I can just use the ROM that FE16 already has, huh? Just wipe cache and dalvik cache and load the repack kernel...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
The FE16 you were running should be just fine...

I'm running the Venum Ice, really smooth and trouble-free.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
If you have this repack kernal already installed and no ROM (which looks like the case since you did a format all, which is a data reset by the way) try Agat63's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658622 or Calkulin's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1658398 both run well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
Be nice to see that FE21 sometime soon aye ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
Thanks to everyone that helped me to get this kernel going. As soon as someone mentioned no ROM a light went off inside my head and I didn't have any other problems. Reflashed rooted FE16 and flashed the FE16 kernel with ACS recovery

within less than 10 minutes. Everything is smooth. Thanks again... :) I don't understand why agat is not getting more credit for this piece of work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
Agreed. Agat63 is one very talented developer. He is also very persistent and keeps at a problem until he gets it done, and I've never seen anyone who's more open and generous with their time, or more willing to teach and share. This is the way you build a loyal following. It's good for the device and it's good for the community.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Best credit I can get is high download count and short thread (meaning no problems).

Kernel download count is over 1000 and thread has only 23 pages.

So I'm all good.

Thanks for all good words and vote of confidence.

Without you guys this wouldn't be so much fun.

It's very interesting to learn new stuff and make something but it's much more to it when others using it and think it's good.

Thanks to all my followers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dlgltal:
I've been flashing away, without any problems with this Kernel. It did make me stop for a second to figure out the back button. (in recovery)

With this FE16/ACS Kernel and FE16 modem, I've had the best GPS, Wifi 3G and 4G ( we are not suppose to have 4G in my area but my phone connects and I get slightly faster speeds, but not like speeds others state, 3G {150kbs to 3Mbs} and 4G {1Mbs to 4Mbs}

Not sure if anyone has asked this yet but are you going to do a repack for FE21?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No one asked me yet but I think everyone has that question in mind.:D

Will try tonight when I get home from work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
A multitude of thanks to you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I was at work when FE21 made to the forum.

Plans for tonight:

1. Try to repack FE21 kernel with ACS and upload tar and zip files.

2. Work on rom. Hopefully can finish it tonight as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You are quite right there about it being on everyone's mind. Your diligence and hard work are greatly appreciated. I, as many others probably did, figured you'd get to when you could. You might have a life that needs attending to too ;p . Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
FE21 ACS repack is up.

OP has been updated. Links posted.

Enjoy, but be careful as usual.

The links are wrong still shows fe16 installed anyway still shows fe16 Kernal :confused: agat your rocking the world keep it up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
May be only updater-script?

Did you check in about phone?

I did flash before uploading and I'm reading FE21 for kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
I'm seeing FE16 as well, agat, in about phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Did you guys flashed tar or zip file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
Trying tar. I used the cwm still fe16
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Downloading now.

May be I pushed wrong zImage into it.

Have too many zImage files. Gotta clean it up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
Lol I bet.. Thanks for all your hard work... Btw you fe16 batt life performed better than any rom I used so far, 20 hours 30% still left

Agat, does fe21 support init.d on your rom? I flashed the fe21 modem.

Thank You!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Hey agat I appreciate your hard work as a dev I have a question about the recovery acs what are the main differences between cwm recovery and acs recovery sorry fire the noob question I see that the menu is a little different but is there many more differences than that

Edit:After playing with the recovery it is bad a$$ in comparison yo cwm based alot more options thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

FE21 should support init.d and custom bootanimation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
ACS recovery is based on CWM with some changes.

I'm using this one because I had permission from ACS team and from creator of the recovery to post repacked kernels.

Due to risks involved with using custom recovery with ICS kernels Team Rogue don't want kernels with CWM recoveries to be posted until they figure out the way to make it safe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jfin79:
Im glad your the go to guy for these kernels your always here to answer our questions and on top of the new releases thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
WTF I read the title wrong. Thought this was the ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Once source comes around many of those functions should become safely usable. Until then I'd only flash apps and maybe a rom that the developer has tried flashing through it. They say the official version is fixing the EMMC bug that has been bricking phones on data wipes. Please dear lord don't touch those. If you do find the thread that might save yourself before doing anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
Kernel tar gives me the yellow triangle. Haven't seen that since October Lol. How do you get rid of it again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Triangle Away app in ICS or jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:

I think i would take the phone swimming and just get a new one rather than go through all that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tigerbalm76:
NooB Question

Is it necessary to Odin back to EL26 before flashing this kernel? I'm currently running MIUI 5.18 that has the Android Recovery System. Not sure if this = unlocked Recovery that is mentioned in OP. Or is it easiest just to use Odin the kernel directly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
I don't believe this kernel is compatible with Miui...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tigerbalm76:
Too late! I flashed anyway and MIUI started FC'ing left and right on bootup. Reflashed MIUI and found compatible FE21 kernel and everything is back to normal now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wilderckw:
Also I'm on fe16 can I use this recovery to flash fe21 ?

No worries you've got nothing else to do. Like the ROM rebuild/reupload(s), kernel repack etc. Don't eat don't sleep, just work on this sh$t now.

Kidding. Thanks for your gracious time and efforts here. Anytime you can get to it would be OK with me and many others.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
You need an AOSP kernel for your rom...

BTW, AOKP thread has an FE21 kernel with unlocked recovery...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
Agat,

I went to EL26 with recovery and then flashed Blu Kuban (FE10, my mistake I meant to flash a FE21.) Then I noticed after reboot, I still had ACS 5.0.2.8. Wouldn't this still be a GB recovery or did the developer use one of your kernels? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I don't know if developer used my kernel.

You should read in his OP.

May be the developer did made a repack himself as well.

To check if it's GB or ICS kernel just go to about phone and see what is kernel version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
FE22 sir,

K go! :D:p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That's your answer.

Developer did repack for his rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
When you flash Blu Kuban the Build Number is going to read RUJELUS22 The Blu Kuban FE10 1.0.3.4 because FE10 is the build on which the latest Blu Kuban release is based. After you flash the ROM and the updates then you can Odin or flash the most recent modem and kernel repack to bring your baseband and kernel version up to whatever leak you decide to flash (FE10/21/22) but the Build number is still going to read FE10.

Currently I think only sfhub has an FE22 repack but I know agat is planning on one by tonight or tomorrow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Lol, I'm talking about you doing a FE22 acs repack. Haha

Sorry about confusion. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
At this time Rujelus hasn't done his own repack but he makes yours, steadyhawkin's, sfhub's, Calkulin's and ReactiveDisorder's available through the ROM Updater built into Blu Kuban.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] isaac2k10:

I'll edit out of my last comment. Kinda noob to the acs recovery, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Flashed both before uploading.

Can boot to recovery and to system without any problems.

If you boot to recovery try to boot to system from recovery.

reboot menu -> reboot system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigt2003:
Thanks for all your work!

I just use the themed SystemUI, framework, contacts, and messaging. Do you think you could make a flashable theme with just those components?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
Long overdue dondation

Hey agat, been leaching your excellent support long enough, sent a little (emphasis on little I'm afraid:o) something just now.....Confirmation 5G4650791A722512W
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can't format system when you flash kernel.

You have no system now nor you have any data on your phone.

Thus phone can't boot to system.

Format all is meant for rom flashing not kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ginjeet:
Pretty much what I ended up doing. Edited my question with red face. Thanks for the fast response. Just have to use the menu rather than a straight power off on my device. :)

So flash fe22 then Odin this and its safe to backup etc?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Back/restore yes.

Wipe and/or flashing CM/AOSP/AOKP no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
It came from the word gank

For some reason reading that this morning made me get the giggles.

The thought of you kanging shoot, your thanks to and credits to, if lined up back to back would stretch to the moon, and we could use it as the backbone for a space elevator!

Agat thank you so much for providing us all the stable ROM'S, being so fast to respond when a problem, question, or comment has been posted.

Thank you for providing us with a relative troll free, drama free forum.

I enjoy the small town feeling of niceness, respectfulness that your topics have. With its mixtures of people coming here who are completely new to flashing and scared to death of doing it, to you being a willing teacher when questions are asked and to you being a bulldog that grabbed the kernel didn't want to pack by its throat and not letting go.

I experiment around with the other ROM'S maybe one hour at most but have always come back to your ROMs because they are so stable.

I wish paid technical support, and professional software development was 1/2 as good as what you provide.

So, what is the origin of "gank?"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
"Originally a word for Imitation Crack-Cocaine made with chunks of soap a person would go to buy crack and get ripped off; which lead to the word meaning, "To Steal or Rip Someone off"

Dang! it's hard to imagine that a purveyor of "gank" would have a long lifespan...

OTOH, "kangers" seem to flourish.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tigerbalm76:
Agat63, thanks for your hard work. It would be very helpful for newbies like myself if you put on OP your kernel is only for TW based ROMS (Am I correct?). I'm somewhat new to the E4GT world and didn't realize how complicated this phone is with TW/CM9/AOKP/AOSP variants. I personally like and stick to the official CM9 variants and didn't know any better so I flashed your kernel by accident. Luckily I was able to recover but someone's bound to brick their phone of these days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
This is quote from OP:

This repack has not been tested to flash AOSP/AOKP/CM or to do wipe/factory resed in recovery.

Most of brick stories with repacked CWM recovery were somehow connected to one of those attempt.

Do not attempt to use it for tasks named above.

If you do, do not blame anyone but yourself.

I don't think I can more clear than this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
I 2nd that...

Do people drive through a red light with kids walking across the crosswalk? Yes, yes they do...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I once had a guy on the OG Epic drop his phone and break the screen trying to get into a recovery I write.. you had to do the grip of death to goto recovery on those phones...

He blamed me.. said I made it too hard to get into recovery, said I should pay to replace his screen..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thanks for making me laugh.

That was funny.

Love it.

Now since it's your recovery I can channel blames to you as well.:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I make a good scapegoat.. Mostly because I don't care..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Your work says otherwise.

You do care.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tigerbalm76:
Sorry I did read that but had interpreted to mean the recovery hadn't been tested to (initial) flash full CM9/AOSP/AOKP roms. I had used the EL26 CWM to flash the initial full size CM9 and thought I could get the latest FE22 kernel and CWM recovery to do backups by flashing this. I want to make it clear I wasn't criticizing the OP for not being clear enough...just showing my newbiness and ignorance. Sometimes you learn the hard way. I call it trial by fire.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Line 3 of the quote:

"Do not attempt to use it (recovery) for tasks named above."

Well English is by far is not my first language but I thought that's pretty clear.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
So doing things in this recovery such as flashing calks format all_no data and mods that require cache/dalvik wipes are OK? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
All menu options are OK to use except wipe/factory reset and this recovery should not be used to flash CM/AOSP/AOKP roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I was going to use it with calks ICS rom (not to flash roms with it though) and then use the recovery to flash your ICS theme files for deodexed roms and calks bloat remover, kobridge tweaks So one more question. Is it safe to flash the el26 cwm kernel from this recovery? Thanks agat, nice work man.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It should be safe to flash kernel zip but I didn't try to flash GB kernels.

Usually I'm using mobile odin for kernels.

And another thing.

As long as you flash TW based rom from TW based rom you should be safe.

I'm flashing all my roms and other zip files from this recovery.

And I'm flashing quite a few times a day when trying/testing stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
