What's the easiest/quickest way to get from a stock/rooted FF18 install to an FH13/rooted/CWM install? I'd like to take my girlfriends phone to FH13 and install a different modem and the Blu Kuban kernel on it. Just can't seem to find out which would be the quickest/easiest way. I know I could go back to EL29+CWM, or even autoroot package install CWM to FF18, but what I want is to try to keep her data, roll up to FH13 and still have custom recovery and be able to give her the Kuban kernel.

I think I confused myself there.. If you're able to translate LOL I'd appreciate any ideas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Honestly, Fi03 is a much better build, in many opinions.

But you could just use a rooted one click no data, then Odin the kernel.. Either way you go.

Be advised, some have issues with no data's from time to time. At least start with a backup. Kies if nothing else. Might save ya from a breakup. ;)

She's just sick and tired of no battery life on her phone. FF18 is alright, but FH13 has shown decent potential. She doesn't need anything major, and I'd prefer to keep her on official releases. I just want to be able to do a nandroid backup and install modems and kernels for her.

This has been a message from the Blu Kuban broadcast system!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Since the phone is already rooted, you can

Odin the kernel

make a nandroid

Use the rooted one click no data

Odin the kernel again

I dont see a rooted rom only, just the zip from datajosh..

Just an idea for easy..

Hi,

Need a little help in choosing which file to download from the list on the first page.

I have mobile Odin installed and was let to believe that would be the easiest to use to upgrade to FF13?

I am rooted and have CWM installed.

Thanks

Rob

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. ;)

Do you want to keep data, or start fresh, root or no root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
You can use the individual components in post two besides the modem. Mobile odin wont flash modems.

If you want to retain root, you'll need to use Garwynns one click contributions, via pc, in post two, but you'll have to flash a custom recovery after, if you want to retain that.

You can flash datajosh's cwm rooted deodexed cwm, but i dont know if it includes the stock or a custom kernel. You'll have to flash a custom recovery after, if you want it.

rooting stock FH13

I just got my E4GT, and it has the OTA FH13 already installed. Is this what I would use to root? I can't seem to find any other information for root FH13, just FF18 and older.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
If you use Garwynns rooted one click no data, in the second post, that's the easiest way to obtain root and not lose data.

But, in my opinion, I would use Garwynns fi03 rooted no data one click. Much better stock build.

Hey guys I'm flashing my friends epic touch with the restore and root in Odin, but it is stuck at data.img right before it finished but it doesn't finish.

My question is what would be the best thing to do at this point.any help would be appreciated?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Do you know what was flashed before? This could be the eMMC bug triggered...

Try flashing the full one again. If doesn't work try sfhub's EL29. Let me know how it goes please...

Hey I just finally pulled the cable, and used another usb cable and reflashed it again and it finished.all is good now thanks for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
Hi,

I ran the following to go from FF18 to FF13:

'Rooted FH13 Full Stock ROM No Data One-Click.exe

(Preserves User Data) Thanks to Garwynn!'

It was listed as one of the last options.

The upgrade went find but I thought it was putting a copy of CWM on along with Superuser.

I am rooted and I have Superuser working (I probably should switch to SuperSU since I'm using that on the Nexus 7) but Clockwork doesn't seem to be installed.

When I attempt to boot into Clockwork recovery I'm getting something in blue and red dark text.

It does not contain any backup/restore options?

How do I install a full working copy of CWM?

Thanks!

The easiest way is to use Mobile Odin to flash one if the kernels from the Kernel Repo stickied in the Dev section. Post 1 there has all the kernels and post 2 has directions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wiggerbrand:
Similar question...

Do you have a kernel to recommend? I saw someone recommend AGAT...but then saw a note on that thread stating it was for stock based roms only...but that was on the source built page...perhaps I should have been looking at the agat repacked?

Is it safe to assume I will not lose any of my data by flashing a kernel?

I ask b/c I am currently stock at FH13 and basically looking to get root and CWM or similar. I want to preserve my data (sms, photos, contacts, etc). Later down the road when I am all good with the above I'd like to test out the Re-Calked ROM.

My plan is to use the Rooted No Data Odin one click from this thread to get root and preserve my data. Then to get a recovery like CWM... Any help would be much appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
Ok this will sound stupid a tad noobie of a question?

When you say Kernel Repo stickied in Dev section post 1, do you mean the first post in this thread where all the versions are listed?

I just downloaded FF13 with Agat.tar for mobile Odin.

Thanks

Rob has sent this from his Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I personally use Agat's source-built kernel version 0.5.4. When it says it is for Stock TW ROM's it is saying that it will only work on Touch-Wiz based ROM's. Basically you can use it on anything that isn't AOSP, AOKP or CM based.

When flashing a kernel you will not lose any data.

Feel free to ask questions. We're here to help! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Sorry about that. I was mobile the other day when I posted that. The Kernel Repo is found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662295. Post #1 is all of the kernels that are available Post #2 has links on how to flash pretty much every kernel type there is.

Hi, I had sent you private mail but for some reason I can't find it now.

I was asking for some extra help.

Totally new to the E4GT, and this is my first run flashing root to my E4GT. I'm in ODIN 3.04 and have installed the drivers for my phone, set the phone in download mode, connected the USB cable. All in the order per the OP instructions. My issue is that the phone shows up on COM3, but it is a blue rectangle there, not yellow. When I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable at either end, it shows Removed!! and Added!!. Is the latest version of ODIN now showing up blue for these devices, or am I doing something wrong? I'm running Win7-64 Build 7600 in case that helps.

Edit: Nevermind. I failed to run the super one click file after it extracted. I got the yellow box and am about to root. Whoop whoop!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
Hi all,

Sorry to have to ask this question, but this time around, I think I need to better understand the underpinnings a tad better, so I can make better decisions.

What is the difference between the kernal and the modem, in regards to flashing?

Do you only do one and not the other, or do you do both. And when do you decided to one or the other?

I flashed kernal but not the modem? But at one point I think I flashed the modem and not the kernal. And do the 'one-clicks' contain both?

Of course, in the end I want to have a rooted phone with CWM. But I've been reading that some people are using something called TWRP (I think I have the acronym incorrect but close enough). Is that available for the SPD-D710, I did not see it in the list I was looking at? What are the benefits with using that over CWM?

Thanks all!

Rob
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Modem is just that. Communication settings basically. Some perform better than others based on location/device performance. You can mix match modems and builds to find what best works for you.

Most one clicks are complete. Some will only have parts. Look for rom/kernel/modem in the title or description in the OP.

Twrp is TeamWin Recovery Project. Its an aosp recovery with standard settings. Yes, there are aosp roms out there.

Not to take away from either recovery project, but you'll find preferences of over the other and vice versa. Just do some research on each project for capabilities, limitations, etc.

Hope this helped a little.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ninja_unmatched:
The no data rooted so far worked for me coming from the ff18. After flashing the update prompt came up once but has since not come up.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Why don't they work for you? What issues are you running onto with them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
The TAR is available from the very first link in Post #2. You can also flash the one-clicks through Mobile Odin (after extracting them from the ZIP using zarchiver).

But what exactly do you mean by they don't work? Can you provide some more information so we can try and fix it for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bushacro:
It installs extracts etc. then when i run the exe and plug in my phone it recognizes it as com 22 and is yellow. All good so far. However when i click start it freezes. every single time. no matter how long i leave it it never does anything. I am running Windows 7 Home with an i7 quad core and 6G of Ram... Normal Odin works perfectly for me however. I will try mobile odin instead. And also i just want to confirm that the first link in Post 2 is rooted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
It isn't. But if you flash through Mobile Odin you can enable everroot and you'll be rooted after flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ninja_unmatched:
Have you tried reinstalling the Android drivers? I'm talking uninstall, reboot, install. Drivers go funky all the time. I did notice on older phones that windows seems to get used to using certain drivers with certain software once you use it.....basically you do it once with full odin it will prefer only that. Kind a weird but what also had a hand in that behavior was the cable itself. Once I found a cable it liked the issue went away.

I know full odin worked and mobile didn't but I'm sure there is something different between them. Also try on another computer with a one-clicker as a way to weed out whether it's the pc or cables/phone.

Hi its been awhile since I tried to root a epic 4g touch.

My mother in law is asking me to do it to hers..

she is unrooted on FH13 and I would like to get her rooted but it seems like all these guides assume people are already rooted.

I don't want to lose her data during the initial root process cause I plan to run titanium backup after the root process is done.

Can anyone point me to a good step by step first time root guide for FH13?

The methods I used when I had my epic 4g touch are no longer valid it seems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Did you read and watch the videos in the OP?

:edit: The rooted one clicks are in post two. Just use those in substitution of using the unrooted one clicks.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day

Teach a man to fish and he'll never go hungry.

First Roy, thanks for the awesome thread. I've been chatting with you on twitter the last couple days. I'm not sure if you participate on freenode in either of the E4GT dev channels, but I have lately and I have undertaken a very large task of converting the entire toolchain provided in the Android SDK to 32bit ELF Binary files and then parsing all the data in the entire Android build to change all the flags from 64bit command sets to 32 bit command sets.

That's neither here nor there, I have decided that I want to get the device I have rooted and run it that way a couple days before I try a custom ROM. I'm really looking forward to getting the jellybean flavor going on it. Love some of the themes out there already, Crimson Cobalt by dustinb along with any of his Cobalt themes. They're a little big, but well worth the realestate.

That being said, I am not comfortable following directions unless I am seeing every step along the way. These "one click's", not for me. Besides, I refuse to put WINE on my linux box because I hate windows that much and therefore ODIN isn't for me either. I have Heimdall, but with the website declaration that v. 1.32 broke everything, it doesn't instill much confidence.

I have the manual instructions but it appears that support for them stops back at FF18 and my device is currently FH13. So, every step of the way there seems to be roadblocks for me.

Is there a clear, concise instruction set that I can follow that will both root the phone while not losing my data and also install ClockworkMod Touch on my device? I don't want to seem picky, but truth be known, I am.

Thanks in advance for your help I will tweet this post to you so you can associate this with the twit you've been chatting up. :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
OK. So there are a few things going on here and there's a lot of ground to cover.

The very first thing we'll cover is Touch based recovery. Forget about it for now. There are only two versions of Touch based recoveries for our phone. One is the CWM included in ROM Manager the one single app to have been named the highest source of bricks for our phone. The CWM it flashes creates loads of issues and will almost guarantee a brick. There is a Rogue GB kernel, Hitman, that is touch based however, due to the issues with the ROM Manager CWM and the resulting confusion SteadyHawkin (of Team Rogue) has pulled support for it. My recommendation would be to stick with what we have for now.

Currently there is no method to safely get permanent root access without either Odin or Heimdall.

Unfortunately I'm not super familiar with Heimdall so I haven't done much with it. My focus has been on Odin as it reaches the largest demographic of users based on the fact that Windows is used by just about everybody.

Basically the way that Odin works is that it takes image files that correspond to a given partition and then overwrites the partition on the phone with the image file loaded in the PDA slot. Odin is completely safe as its not so much wiping data but overwriting it.

An Odin One-Click does the exact same thing but it eliminates the possibility of user error as it comes preloaded in the appropriate slot (no accidentally loading the TAR file to something other than the PDA option) and they generally come pre-loaded with the PIT file making sure that the partition files included in the TAR go to the correct partition on the phone. My understanding of Heimdall is that it does the same thing.

I unfortunately can't do anything about your aversion to Windows. ;) But! You could technically get away with using it just once. If you prefer not to flash a full ROM and your goal is to ultimately just gain root access you can flash a custom kernel (through Odin or Heimdall) and then flash SU through the Recovery after it boots. Once you've done that you can purchase Mobile Odin Pro and flash all TAR's (or One-Clicks) through it and make sure EverRoot is enabled. You will have Root forever and won't ever need to use Windows again. ;)

Sorry if this is a bit disjointed. I had a late night and an early morning and my brain is fried. Hit me up if you have more questions.

Good luck!

[ROOT][FLASH][GUIDE][Linux] Epic 4g Touch by Sprint

When you say stick with what we have, that would be what you placed out on your website? Because that is where I have been reading among other places. I can't seem to find reliable instructions for Linux and with Heimdall, I can't seem to find a reliable Heimdall firmware.

I am currently looking into the flash structure of the E4GT. I know that the NS4G has /proc/mtd, but the E4GT does not. Their devices, when mounted are mmc(blksomething). I need to figure out those registers and I will take care of flashing by myself with adb and fastboot just like I always have on the ns4g.

I would rather not use a piece of software I am not familiar with myself, so don't worry about it unless you know of a reliable Heimdall firmware with CM10.

What you call "eliminate the possibility of user error" I call giving a man a fish. I got all the scripts downloaded for all the "One Clicks and they are all DOS .bat files so I intend to study them fairly well and see if I can't generate a reliable "One Click" of my own made just for Linux.

You don't even know how tempting it has been to step over to the wife's computer. The only reason I am so tempted is how incredibly smooth the entire JB interface is, let alone with adding CM10. They really have out done themselves. Kudos to Steve and all the guys over at CyanogenMod and all the guys who have been putting up with my 32 bit toolchain whining in #jb-dev-e4gt on freenode! :cyclops:

Thanks, but it's the device that's going to need the luck and hopefully my skill level will keep it safe. And I will drop back by here to update this post as I make progress. Hopefully it will become a good guide to open the E4GT and it's working's to more people.

Hello, I have a quick question for anyone that can help. I just bought my phone( coming from the OG Evo) off of CL and it was rooted already with Universe 2.0 so I asked a couple of questions in the Q&A forum so I could figure out the root process myself and got lots of help over there. I watched Kings youtube videos and thats how I found this thread. So I followed the instructions and it was pretty straight for and a success I must say. I then installed Agats recovery since the phone came with CWM 5xxxx. I was fooling around in the internal sd and deleting old files that were on there already and now my battery icon is gone. I would like to know is there a way for me to reinstall it without flashing the rom from scratch? thx in advance for any suggestions.

I recently tried to update my FH13 rooted SPH d710 phone that I got from here to garwynn's FI27 located here and the update hung at the very end of the update process when it listed the modem. I tried multiple times to install it but it repeatedly gets hung up there.

Modems unfortunately can't be flashed via Mobile Odin on a CDMA phone. You'll need to use either the CWM or one-click options.

As for the status 6 and 7 errors it sounds like you may be running a recovery that isn't allowing them to be flashed. Try using Mobile Odin to flash another Recovery kernel and then try flashing them. I've flashed both successfully.
