Worked flawlessly! :D

The only thing I did different was to Odin directboot from my desktop.

Updated Profile/PRL/GPS Lock, rebooted to recovery and flashed back to CM9.

Major time saver!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sqb33:
Verified! Works flawless!!!! Great Job guys!! :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgr581:
I'm on CM9a4 and having the same problem. Can't boot into the temp rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
It is possible that temporary GB is the easiest way to fix the broken CM9 GPS issue. Anyone have broken GPS in CM9? If so please try the procedure written in the blog and report back if it fixes GPS when you return to CM9.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sqb33:
Yes i have tried it. Updated Profile/Prl and got a GPS lock. Powered off the phone, booted into recovery and just reflashed cm9 (no gapps) and everything including GPS works perfectly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Thanks warren! This is great. Once kexec is baked into an ICS recovery things will be truly awesome for CM9!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Is there a way to do this completely mobile without the use of a computer

I will be without a computer for a long time...

I need to update my PRL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Mobile odin from the market should allow you to install this recovery. Boot the el29 rom from within the recovery due to thanks of kexec support and then flash back to CM9/AOKP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] master acehole:
would this work for say the ICS officail OTA? =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
Where is a link that I can download an EL29 ROM that I can flash via CWM?

I can't find anything...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
well there is a link to it in the first post.. might be a good idea to read next time :rolleyes:

But anyways here it is:

What I mean is how do I get the EL29 Gingerbread Temporary ROM on my phone without using a computer?

Help ASAP would be much appreciated... I get terrible service and no 3G because I need to update my PRL. I have a friend with sprint, no hacks, root,... gets great service 3G & 4G on the OG Evo

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

That says to use tarball and copy multi boot on a PC... how do I do this without a PC with CWM???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
I already told you. You need to buy mobile odin from the market. Flash the el29 straight boot recovery v3 and follow the directions.

edit: you might need to also find an app to extract the file and post in the root of your internal memory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
You dont need to buy mobile odin. the lite version is posted by the dev on xda and works just as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Nice, was not aware of that.

I know how to use Mobile ODIN.

I know how to flash the CWM Kernel.

What file am I needing to flash...

I must be having a total n00b day.

What prep files do I need besides CWM kenal, Mobil ODIN?

Plz... I desperately need to update this and everytime I get to CWM I look for the other files and can't find them...

What files am I flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deedscreen:
I've tried everything including power off, reboot, battery pull, it will not boot into EL29 GB. It will only boot up into CWM..

:-(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d j a:
Agree, this is broken on AOKP FE22. (T.C.P)

Just returns back to menu screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
Could people please read the instructions? You MUST use the directboot CWM. Nothing else will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Cant get it to boot back from either the temporary image or my old ROM, it just returns to CWM. Followed instructions. Also tried to flash via heimidall instead of mobile odin with no luck.

I am running AOKP 37. Can some one with AOKP confirm this work for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Wtogami did this for the og epic also. Works like a charm. Just read slower. Trust it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Greek81:

Ok I dont know what you guys are talking about. I have both files in my internal memory. I flashed the CWM directboot file in mobile Odin, now where is this rom I am supposed to flash??? I downloaded e4gt-el29-emmc-utility-v1.tar.xz and the CWM direct boot now where is this rom ? Yes I read the directions 20 times, and im stuck. it says download tarball, unpack it and copy it into my internal memory?? what is that and what am I supposed to do with it? can someone help??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:

What I did.

1. Download androzip from market.

2. Download tarball from OP.

3. Extract to root of intern SD.

(THIS TAKES FOREVER) be patient, get a samich or take a nap.lol.

4. Unpack the tar after step 3 is done.

6. Boot into CMW. Install from SD,choose from SD, Multiboot.EL29, EL29.zip.

7. Flash EL29.zip

8. Update what ya need. Reboot. Reflash orig Rom...PROFIT..

EDIT: 5.5 I forgot directboot into CWM. Ooops sorry kinda late and kinda druk.. Fukn SPURS. drinkn away my sorrows away.lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Natedog1:
Ok, I got everything set up. I oden into cwm fine but chickened out and flashed an ics kernel to return to milestone 5. Just a quick question. When I flash the stock ROM from the multiboot folder and want to go back to m5 it says to flash your ROM back but you have to do full wipes again, flash ROM, gapps, etc, right? Could you just restore a nandroid and flash an ics kernel? Just being over cautious.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ericlikeseatin:
Concerning this step:

"7. Use Mobile Odin to flash directboot CWM v3. Carefully read the warnings on that page."

If I don't have Mobile Odin, can I use desktop Odin to flash the tar.md5 file listed here?

http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html

thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
yesir ya can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
My recovery seems to only read the external SD card not the internal emmc. It sounds like this isn't normal so I had to install the multiboot folder to the external SD card. However it still worked fine for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
No wipes needed. This is more of a temp flash.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d j a:
Watched your video, doesn't work on AOKP. Followed to a T....

Also, I believe technically you don't need to re-flash the ROM, just the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Hmm, maybe it just doesn't work for AOKP. I will test later for Warren. And yea, you just really need to ref lash a compatible kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
Wrong. It will work with directboot CWM. It doesn't matter at all what ROM you have installed on your phone as long as you can boot directboot CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d j a:
That's cool and I'm not trying to flame anyone, but there is enough people for whom this DOESN'T work on AOKP that the thread title should really be changed...

Um, sorry..I CAN boot EG4T-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5..I CAN flash the specified file and it DOES NOT auto boot or do anything for that matter. I welcome any suggestions as to how to get around this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Alright for those saying this doesn't work on AOKP build 37, I just tried this and it works perfectly fine. No issues whatsoever. What are you guys doing that's not working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Natedog1:
I am on milestone 5 and I can direct boot cwm, but I cannot get the stock rom from the multi boot folder to boot. When I reboot it just goes right back to to cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Are you on windows? Using directboot v3? What did you use to extract/unpack?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Natedog1:
Maybe that's my issue. I used zarchiver or Androzip from my phone. It seemed to unzip fine though. I am using directboot v3.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
We don't need to reflash gapps or anything else when reflashing our original ROM, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thabeatsociety:
I did everything exactly as specified. however, after indicates success in flashing boot_EL29.zip instead of auto rebooting as it did in QBKing's video, it just sits there. I waited for over 20 minutes. It never rebooted into the stock. So when I manually did reboot system, it reboots back into CWM. Many are saying that this works flawlessly. But there are still some - like myself - who are following directions exactly as given. I watched this vid and read written instructions. Still not working
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
No you don't.

Try the same steps but instead of placing "multiboot" folder in internal, put it on your external sd card. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Will updating PRL help me with the issue I have with constantly losing cellular data? Doesn't happen on wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
New as in new download same version or different revision?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
Went from el29 to fe22
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thabeatsociety:
I did both. No luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Dont know what to tell you sorry. I tested it for Warren on CM9 and AOKP and it worked perfectly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
instead of reflashing the ROM over, we can just flash over the AOSP kernel, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Everything worked fine got GPS fix locked but now I'm back to aokp 37 and just about all my apps force close and play store won't even open I did wipe cache after I noticed this issue still I get force close gonna try wipe davlik and fix permission. Hopefully someone can help me :rolleyes: *cough* slick_rick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
After rebooting from the temp el29 rom back to cwm, did you reflash the whole rom over or just a compatible kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Whole rom no gapps

Edit:I'm still on the rom. Won't do a complete fresh install until u can figure out what's wrong or what might have went wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Hmm idk, I just tested the tool itself using the rom. No apps seemed to FC, etc. I guess you could just wipe data and restart but im guessing you dont want to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Nahh but its cool. I'm all go for testing and try out new sh!t lol but I'll try this again... and hopefully I'll get no fc this time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
This mod or however you want to classify it is awesome! Soooo long overdue for us AOSP users. For those of you having trouble with this on roms confirmed to be compatible:

Obviously read over the official directions and download the files specified. Don't try to use the EL26 recovery. Most importantly, make sure that when you Mobile Odin recovery the file is on your INTERNAL SD card. It doesn't matter whether your internal memory is labeled as EMMC or SD or whatever else, just make sure its Internal memory. Once you are in the said recovery be sure the temporary rom is also on the internal SD card. I can confirm this all works on CM9 A4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VikingoRMCF:
Please correct me if I’m wrong…

By doing this, I’ll be automatically booted into CWM5… where I can temporally flash Gingerbread EL29 to get a GPS lock, once I get a GPS lock, I can reboot the phone which will automatically take me back to the ICS Rom I’m on (AOKP)?

Also once back on AOKP, I will lose CWM… correct?

Is this safe or should, or should I just ODIN El26
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yes its completely safe and has been done successfully by lots of people. Once you get the GPS lock, you reboot phone and it will take you back into cwm recovery, not your rom. From recovery you just have to either reflash aokp again or a compatible kernel so it can boot. Yes you will lose cwm recovery. If you want to do the temp el29 rom boot, you must use the recovery said so in the instructions or else it won't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VikingoRMCF:
Awesome! Greatly appreciated!

And what I noticed from qbking77 vid, no data will be lost?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yes no data will be lost.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thabeatsociety:
yeah must not work on all devices for some reason. but its cool. i can live without GPS for now. hopefully GPS fix will be in future releases of the CM9. everything else is pretty snappy in this ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
GPS will not be fixed by any future CM9 version. You need to use Samsung's stock ROM in order to make GPS work again. Subsequently CM9 GPS will work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Worked great. Didn't even use a PC. Amazing what patience and following directions does.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
So I can't get this to work on AOKP milestone 6 from Times_infinity. I downloaded the correct files but unzipped the utility zip using zarchiver on my phone. Could that be the issue?

I'm going to try using my PC from home tonight after work. Will post back if that works. I seen another guy had an issue when uzipping from his phone as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Multiboot is a folder, not a file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
Just a typo... I know it's a folder. I flashed the the el29 zip inside that folder and it never rebooted for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
You have to wait. It stays at Black screen for a couple minutes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
Mine says the install was successful and sits in the recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wtogami:
You did not follow the directions. Your recovery needs kexec capability. Directboot CWM is currently the only recovery capable of booting this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
Im using directboot v3 from the link in the op.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Did you extract the right thing onto your internal memory?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AZImmortal:
I needed to do the GPS fix so I followed the instructions exactly, and everything worked as it should except that when I booted back into AOKP, my Google account was missing from the accounts settings and when I tried to add it, there was no option to add a Google account, only every other type of account. None of my account info was synced to the phone and some Google apps crashed when I tried to open them. I ended up flashing gapps, and afterward, I was able to add my Google account again. No other data was lost and everything went back to normal after I re-added my account.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VanillaG0rilla:
I did. I followed the video to the t.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MongarEric:
On two occasions, when I was using this temp ROM to update profile and PRL after I flashed a new modem, when trying to reflash back to my daily driver ROM (CM9), I received the error seen on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1741784. I have no idea how the build.prop got to a state where it wouldn't match. I ended up whiping my phone, flashing back to EL29 stock, and then going back to CM9. But I'd like to avoid this process in the future if possible. Any idea what would cause the build.props to not match? And can I change the build.prop of the temp ROM to match if this happens again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Sorry then. Dont know what to tell you because it worked perfectly for me. You were using the v3 direcbootCWM right?

No idea how or why that would happen. Its never done that to me, no issues whatsoever.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crayak:
So I've read through most of this forum, and I don't see a definite answer. I have loaded the temp el29 rom. I'm currently on cm9 alpha 4, can I reboot from el29 into the version of CWM recovery that this rom comes with to flash say stock Venum's S5 rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Toonlinkmaster25:
This doesn't work for me anymore. It just sticks on the splash screen after flashing the multiboot file

Edit: Works now. File became corrupt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kozmo2k4:
Works great with AOSP alpha 5 Jelly Bean by sbrissen.

I've tried the newer version FF18, but that one would not boot into the temporary stock,only back to CWM 5.0.2.7.

Great job!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BBlazed62:
Hey, i just gave this a try, hoping it would bring my data speeds back to normal (wimax is really slow with AOSP A5 JB for me). Am i mistaken in thinking that this would carry over all the read outs from the dialer (##3282##) into JB? i thought the point was to carry over profile and prl, but when i flash back to JB, the data profile is blank and so is other->multimedia.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
Have you by any chance changed network and getting your number ported? If so it's now done in stages (well in the UK anyway) and you have split personality for a while (all incoming on one sim and all outgoing on the other) until the port completes.

If you're not porting your number, do you have the same issues with your sim in another phone? Have a word with you provider too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
