Greetings RW.

When you have a moment, could you update the Agat kernel thread with the 1.4.2f kernel please?

http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...overy Kernels/JB/Agat63 Recovery/Source Built

Also, the home thread is incorrect for that category, it should be here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2244781

I believe you currently have both of the JB Agat kernel categories pointing to the same thread.

Edit: And I believe there are already tar, zip and one-click version available on the OP.

Tnx - TD

Howdy guys! Noob question for you guys :p sorry.

Ok as I was reading this topic's first post, I noticed the OP stated the following:

"...Kernels control a lot of things on your phone and having the right kernel can lead to phenomenal battery life, awesome performance and great tweaks. However, if you get the wrong kernel it can cause boot loops and other issues..."

The part about "having the right kernel can lead to phenomenal battery life" is what attracted my attention. However since Im relatively new to this flashing ROMs type of stuff, I want to make sure I flash the correct one! Below is detailed description of my current setup:

>Samsung Epic 4G Touch. On Sprint Network.

>Model Number: SPH-D710

>Android Version: 4.2.2

>Baseband version: FI27

>CyanogenMod Version: 10.1

Ok, so my question is... What is the correct Kernel that I must flash onto my device? I am specifically looking for better battery life. I would really appreciate the community's help. Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
You need to worry about stock vs aosp kernels and making sure you use the kernel for your rom. Match ics and jb kernel with the rom.

We don't really have many options for daily drivers for our phone.

For aosp roms, you get the kernel that come with the rom or Blasphemy.

i have the MMC-SUPERBRICK-BUG on my d710. how do i flash a safe kernel on it?

is there a safe kernel list for the d710?

thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
When I got my replacement phone, I used ODIN to flash Chris41g's recovery kernel found here: http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...s/Recovery Kernels/ICS/Chris41g CWM5 Recovery

Then you'll have a safe kernel and can wipe and flash away.

Most if not all recent ROMs and kernels have a safe recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
El29 direct boot works as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Just remember that you have to flash back to your firmwares kernel or you will end up in a boot loop. EL29 Direct Boot always boots to the recovery. It is only good for flashing. You cannot boot to the ROM with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Correct. Most roms already have a built in kernel already, namely cm and aokp roms, so flashing back to a kernel won't be needed, simply because the kernel is already backed into the rom, well MOST roms at least, and these days it's a common practice to have the kernel already backed in. If that person in bricked....depending on what they wanted to do.....all they would have to do is one of 2 things:

1: flash one of the two kernels mentined and reboot to said kernel to flash a new rom of choice

2: if you can find a stock rom to flash you can also use that to go back to stock

Either way being bricked you will have to use the odin way, either odin one click or odin and flash a tar file.

Mine is with Boost Mobile, so I have an original gc10 stock non-rooted rom tar file I can always flash it back to via the odin way and it will be just as if it was bought straight from the boost store.

If your just after installing a rom such as cm11, or hood pope, or cm10.1, etc... you jsut need el29 direct boot, or Chris41g's. Both are safe to flash roms from.

I prefer the direct boot personally, because it gets me directly to the recovery without pressing any buttons.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
i assume that i use mobile odin to flash the safe kernel. After i flash the safe kernel, do i have to flash a rom right away?

can i use this recovery to flash any of the 4.3 rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yeah that's the next step in line, either a stock rom or a preferred rom of your choice. Link to odin here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189539

Flashing cm and aokp roms you will also need gapps, Link to gapps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

The procedure goes as follows:

1: flash recovery

2: boot into said recovery

3: clear dalvik cache, partition cache, and wipe/factory reset (not in any order really, as long as you get them all done) don't reboot just yet

Not sure these need to be in any certain order but I've had the best luck doing it in this order

4: install rom

5: Install gapps

reboot system now

This is the recovery way which I prefer....you can also do the odin way, which just calls for flashing the rom file and letting it reboot the phone.

If your doing the odin way I'd just do the rom itself, and bypass the kernel, because as I said the kernels are normally bake into the rom, that's if you can find a rom in tar format...most of them that I am aware of are zip files, that's why I prefer the recovery way

If you need a simpler breakdown let me know I'll try and simplify the steps a bit more. I am assuming you've already messed with recovery somewhat and know your way around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
And make sure you read the first couple of posts for the ROM you want to try before flashing.

Some ROMs have special needs the first time you flash.

Like having to flash Hood Pope twice after a reboot.

Some ROMs need a newer recovery, so you flash el29 then the ROM, reboot into recovery then flash the ROM again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Yep, as is the case with cm11 rom I'm on......haven't yet found a way around it to make it shorter so for now this will have ta do.

This method is a bit more complex I'd say, unless your familiar with recovery and roms and kernels and baseband/modems, etc....I'm no programmer by any means, just have learned the difference in what they are and what they do, that's about the extent I've gotten so far :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
Let me just get the recovery first, do i still need to wipe before I flash the recovery in mobile odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
No. Don't wipe. Wiping from an unsafe recovery is what bricks the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
thats what i figured. but just want to confirm. thanks for all your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cfli1688c1:
ok, i flash the safe kernel. but when rebooting the phone, its struck at the S2 logo for a long time, i pull the battery and try volume down and power and now in the download mode. what should i do now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Pull the battery again and hold Vol Up+Power to go into recovery, then flash your ROM (and GApps if needed) so you can boot your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NewShockerGuy:
How am I able to run an FL modem on a GB rom?

I just spent the better part of 5 hrs rooting my phone to have Jelly bean only to revert back to GB backup from another phone and I didn't change my modem but it still works fine? Is this normal?

Thanks,

-Nigel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thedarksavant:
If you never flashed a modem, then your modem never changed. Flashing a JB ROM will not change your modem.

Cool thread, bro. Subscribed! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Michael Gaines:
Great thread you got here. It's a good feeling to have everything neatly organized when you get a flash-a-holic itch. lol I was wondering if there was any progress on a kernel that supports USB host mode? I'm currently running the Rubix 1.0.2 and was kinda disappointed when my cable didn't work. That's the main reason I wanted this phone. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Nothing as of yet. My understanding is that technically or phones could support it. Unfortunately no kernels have been released that support it (from Samsung or otherwise).

If one comes out though you can bet it will be uploaded here! :)

BAHAHAHA!

I can't get the download links to work for the GB Rouge repacks. I'm downloading off my E4GT using Dolphin. Anyone else have trouble?

Could you try using stock browser? I know there are issues with Firefox maybe Dolphin too. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
No go :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Just long click on a link copy the url paste it in the url bar and take the extra / off the end.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I was doing it myself from firefox on the desktop ran into it. Of course much easier to fix for my own purposes on a desktop, kinda harder on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'm really befuddled on this. I've got three PC's at home all with the Aurora version of Firefox. Links work on one but not the other two.

Links in ICS stock browser work for Chris and I but we get reports that it doesn't for others.

I'm so confused! :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I have no experience with ASP so no clue what to tell you on that. As far as the stock ICS browser is there only one per 4.0 or 2 per 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 or are there even more versions out there? Just curious if there is any version variation you have to deal with.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Just wanted to express my thanks for this post. Amazing. All kernels categorized and inone place. Excellent. Perhaps you could also post the majority of key tar files such as el26,el29, fd02,fd24,fd26,fe17,fe,21. That way it would be easy in case you lose recovery or for some reason you need to pc odin if your phone doesn't boot up? That would be complete. Still best post I've seen since agat's fe16 acs recovery kernel. Give stars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I dont mind hosting stock tars as well.. i wouldnt want to start getting into hosting the entire freaking content of XDA though lol between chris41g.org and chris41g.devphone.org there is a metric **** ton of android content already..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Thank you very much! Several of the kernels are in both TAR and ZIP formats but I've been limited to what I've downloaded or is still available in the forums. If you have any that aren't on the list please feel free to send them my way. I'll get them added in.

EDIT: I misread your post but I'll talk it over with Chris and see what the servers can handle. I'm sure we can work something out. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
There are some known compatibility issues that both Chris and I are researching. Hopefully this well be a non-issue in the future. In the meantime try switching browsers and see if it works. Sorry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geoffwells7:
I can't remember the last time I had to use IE. I thought I read something about that but I wasn't sure what you guys were talking about. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Yeah. I'm a Firefox guy myself and it had me scratching my head something awful. It got really frustrating when I realized that it's not consistent I've got some computers it works on and some it doesn't. Some people are reporting it doesn't work on stock ICS browser or dolphin and others say it does. Hopefully we'll isolate the issue and resolve it soon. Thank you for your patience!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Just posted FE21 for CM9!

Go get it! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the server can handle anything you can put on it.. thats not the issue. the issue is that most full roms are quite large and already have multiple mirrors.. they take you forever to upload and may not be beneficial to the community.

that being said, leaks and official tars im up for hosting.

any developer who actively supports his roms who needs a mirror can contact me, but i am not going to just start throwing there **** on the servers for no reason lol

and for gods sake dont use ie.. just take the trailing slash off the end of the link when its says it cant find the file.. or use chrome lol

First and most important Thank You soooo much for this. ;)

Now my impatients to show just a little LOL Sorry in advance.

I saw where you were able to get the three older CM9 Kernels but I do not see any information on where the FE21 version came from. With this I was curious mostly as I am looking for the FE22 version. Do you know if your source might make an FE22 version available?

I know that it isn't 100% necessary but I find that my phone does much better if I keep matching versions for the kernel and modem so I am trying to make myself hold off on posting the modem while I wait for the kernel.

Again, thanks ya man!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rokair:
Cool thank a million man. I'm mostly just flash happy...lol but I will probably wait until at least late tonight before I play with any options like the AOKP kernel.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

OMG!!! I have been soooo missing the good stuff. Since this Kernel was a TAR and I am at work I final bough the Mobile ODIN application and used it to flash the FE22 Kernel and Modem. That was sooo much easier and quicker....

Yea well maybe not. After two attempts it still didn't actually flash the Modem so I am handling that separately. I will still keep the application in hopes that the contribution will lead to the continued development of a very cool application.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'm glad the kernel worked for you!

But yeah there is a known issue with CDMA phones where Mobile Odin can't flash modems to them. Chainfire is looking into it.

Even without the modem capabilities it is still close to my number one app!

I apologize if this was answered already, but I want to make sure I don't brick my phone.

I'd like to flash the new TouchWiz, which would be best flashed using CWM. In order to get CWM, can I use the Auto-root tool which flashes FD02+CWM? I'd only be using CWM to flash the new TW, and then go back to stock FE22 rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
K. So I've looked over the link you sent me via PM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26392738). It looks like it should work but I don't know 100% if it's compatible. You're probably safe but...

If you choose to try it then I would follow the steps on how to flash a zip kernel in post 2 (make sure to nandroid first). Instead of flashing a kernel flash the TW zip, then wipe cache and then flash the FE22 kernel. If it does work report back cause I might wanna give it a try. ;)

Good luck!

---Looking for a kernel? Get them all here!---
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
I ended up using the AutoRoot tool to flash FD02 + CWM, then flashing the 1.5.1 zip found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26392738

It worked, but I think I need to uninstall the stock TouchWiz launcher just in case.

Thoughts on that?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Just finished adding Agat's latest kernels the tFE22 in both TAR and ZIP formats. These kernels are awesome! With a little help from Chris41g he took the FE22 kernel and rebuilt it with his custom version of ACS CWM. I've played around with it a bit and he did a great job! Check it out!

Also, per user request I've added some of Zedomax's kernels. These were some of the kernels originally used to obtain root access and several other features we take for granted today. They are built on a hybrid of the E4GT kernel, the international GS2 and the older Epic 4G. As a general disclaimer, these kernels are very old (in phone years) and will most likely cause issues with our phones. If you choose to download them and play around with them please be careful!

Just extract the zImage file. You can then flash that through Odin or Mobile Odin. However, the recommended method is to still flash the kernel in its ZIP format through CWM. If you would like step by step directions they are in post #2 of this thread.

Good luck!
