Modems really depend... I just sticked with the newest modem (FL24). But certain ROMS may ask for a certain modem.Mainly there are 3 types of modems GB, ICS or JB Modems...

------------------------------------------------

Android versions... From old to new

1.5 - Cupcake

1.6 - Donut

2.0 through 2.1 - Eclair

2.2 through 2.2.3 - Froyo

2.3 through 2.2.7 - Gingerbread or GB

3.0 through 3.2 - Honeycomb (tablet exclusive)

4.0 through 4.0.4 - Ice Cream Sandwich or ICS

4.1.1 through 4.2.2 -Jellybean or JB (The latest version of Android)

I might be wrong with the numbers:p

I was wondering how to install ktemplton's aokp rom? Im on fi27 ics rooted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
Easy, just flash the EL29 directboot kernel through mobile odin (WARNING:since you're on ICS... your phone WILL NOT boot. It will only boot into recovery:) )

Then in recovery...

1- Make an nandroid backup (it will save your life) (in backup and restore)

2- Wipe data/Factory Reset (hit yes)

3- Format System (hit yes) (in mounts and storage)

4- Wipe davik cache (hit yes) (in advanced)

5- Go to install from SD card

6- select install from internal or external SD card (where ever you put them)

7- Find what folder you put the files in

8- Select the Rom(say yes when prompted)

9- Repeat steps 6 though 8 with the gapps

10- Say a prayer

11- Hit reboot

- :D

If there's anything your confused or need help on...ask me:D

PS: I've done this like 20-ish times and never ran into any problems:)

Can u link me the directboot kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
No, on the Rom I'm running I can't use a JB modem, But I can use either a ICS or a GB modem

The installation instructions for any Rom will tell you to use/flash a specific modem:)

Hope that clears things up for you

Any more questions?:)

PS: The effects of not using the right modem for a certain Rom is No data connection or cell signal or both

With gingerbread or ics roms, you can mix those modems.

With jellybean stock roms (referred to as jb touchwiz or jb tw), you have to use jb tw modems.

With jb aosp/aokp builds, you have to use ics or gb era modems.

Subject to change once jb source drops..

Here's the DropBox link

EL29 Directboot kernel

Any more questions?:)

PS: Make sure when mobile odin asks you to check the Md5...hit yes, you don't want to find out it's a bad file and your phone doesn't boot after flashing the kernel;)

Before you do anything in recovery

Press the volume button in this sequence:up, down, up

It should say “back menu button enabled"

Now you will be able to select things

What do you mean with a safe recovery? You mean a safe CWM(clockworkmod)? What would happens if I upgrade to JB and Sprint sent the oficial update?

Right now I'm rooted with no CWN. Not sure about wiping caches before falshing a kernel can you show where to read about it?

Is there is a place in the site where I can read about terms and all that stuff

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
If flashing any Rom comming from ICS or GB you must flash in a safe recovery or you'll risk being friends with the eMMc bug.(meaning that it turns your phone into a shiny paper weight;))

One other thing...SCREW SPRINT:mad: you'll be upgraded to the latest version anyway (4.2.2) I flashed a Rom because I've gotten frustrated that everyone else's phones have jellybean and this phone didn't:mad:

So even if Sprint sends a update (if ever) it's only jellybean 4.1.1

And that's why ROMs were invented:)

PS: The safe recovery I use is EL29 Directboot Kernel, this means that it will give you a custom recovery if you're stock rooted

Any more questons?;)

If you flash kernel using Odin, after flashing the kernel with custom recovery, boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

The only reason you need to flash a different kernel then the stock one is to get custom recovery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Still somewhat confuse. Right now I'm just rooted using ICS stock (FL24). I tried to install CWM but after flashing with mobile ODIN the CWM, my cel booted but keep booting over and over. I decided to take out the battery and press power and up buttons and make a backup in the CWM, then hit the factory reset and unrooted my cel back to fully stock. After that I rooted again and that is where I'm right now. So what is next? Do I need to flash my cel with a CWM or I flash it using EL29 Directboot Kernel? Or flashing with EL29 is only for installing ROMs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:

Not even sure how to search my "needs"....

Samsung GS2 Epic 4G touch for Sprint ( as near as I can tell, this is my phone)

build FL24

Im rooted via qbking77 videos.used odin. all went smooth.

Went to his next video, "How to install custom recovery"....

He says just click the below FL24 TAR file and it takes you to a webpage etc. But it just downloads a file that I cant open.

then I tried to downoad the "mobile odin lite" file. Also wasnt working.

Do I need to install a new Kernel first? Whats the order I should be installing things?

I think a lot of these tutorials Im trying to learn off of have outdated versions??

I started flashing with an HD2,

then went to sensation 4G.

Ok I got that done.

Had continuous boot loop so I ended up Un-rooting phone with a FI27 build.

Re-rooted phone. now my home key doesnt work (maybe cuz i used the FI27 instead of previous FL24)

I'm kind of same problem. I rooted my Epic Touch S2 the odin then try the CMW as the video this guy say but have the same problem a boot loop. I do a backup with the CWM, then a factory reset and flashed again back to FL24. After all this I rooted again. I was trying to flash the CWM to made a backup. But what I have seen so far there is no need to flash a CWM until your are going to flash a new ROM right? I'm at 4.0.4 how I get the JellyBean 4.2.2 or whatever number is not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
correct, flashing a safe recovery on ICS...

YOUR PHONE WIILL NOT BOOT

the CWM recovery is only for flashing roms only. there are plenty of Roms in the original devolpment section for this phone... and the safe recovery i use and

MUST ONLY USE TO FLASH ROMS COMMING FROM ICS OR GB

is the EL29 Directboot Kernel

installation instructions for any ROM

1- Make an nandroid backup (it will save your life) (in backup and restore)

2- Wipe data/Factory Reset (hit yes)

3- Format System (hit yes) (in mounts and storage)

4- Wipe davik cache (hit yes) (in advanced)

5- Go to install from SD card

6- select choose from internal or external SD card (where ever you put them)

7- Find what folder you put the files in

8- Select the Rom(say yes when prompted)

9- Repeat steps 6 though 8 with the gapps

10- Go back

11- Say a prayer

12- Hit reboot

13- :D

If there's anything your confused or need help on...ask me

and after that you will have a custom recovery with the ROM you installed, that recovery is safe to Flash/Wipe from. All CM kernels are safe to do so:)

Do you want to make a ROM recommendation to you?

There are file dependencies that may not work if they are different versions.

The one that comes to mind is velvet.apk I believe and one other I can't recall.

If these files aren't deleted or overwritten (or are missing), it may cause problems between versions.

Edit: I think G-ding when through something like this when he was trying to restore Google+ that was removed from one of his custom builds.

2. Open mobile odin and flash the EL29 directboot kernel . The phone will no boot. It would go directly to recovery?

3. I Make an nandroid backup (it will save your life) (in backup and restore) This is a backup of everything I have?

How is to update to JB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
Yes, you will lose every thing except what's on the SD cards

Usually Google syncs your contacts but just to be safe. Download super backup (I think thats what it's called)

It will backup your contacts and your text messages.

Then for your apps, I would use carbon or titanium backup

Those will backup your apps and also the app data:)

Questions regarding "Modems".

Hello,

I had questions pertaining to "Modems" and what is the benefits of trying new ones.

For instance if I am currently running Stock FL24 ROM (Rooted), What is the benefit of changing the "Modem" to, lets say... "Stock FI27 Modem"?

And for my next question, Are "Modems" universal? Could I use "Stock GA10 Modem" (which is Jelly Bean) on my "Stock FL24 ROM"(which I know is Ice Cream Sandwich)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
So I will asume that the list of steps are okay. Now where I found the ROMs?

Hello everyone.

I am was running the Wild for the night build from 3/4 a few days ago, with no problems until i noticed the malfunctioning gyro that many users complained about. I followed one user's advice and did a dirty flash back to the build from 2/15. Since then, my data has not been quite right. The 3g symbol is always present, however, at random times, my data goes away, giving me a message saying "Connection Problem. A Network error has occurred." I can not download any apps from the play store either. I have tried doing a full data wipe and re-installing various builds of the rom, but to no avail. I would really like some advice on this subject as I have just about run out of ideas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Flash back to a stock samsung build, flash the modem that you regularly use and then update profile an prl. Flash back to the rom you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] khaeos:
Thanks for the fast response. As far as the modem, I currently use FI27, and that's the same modem as the stock Samsung rom I want to flash to. In that case, can I just skip that step? Also how exactly do you update the profile/prl? Thanks in advance.

Once you are flashed back to a touchwiz based rom, go into settings and then to system updates. You can't do this on any aosp rom thus the need to flash a touchwiz based rom.

Hi, I've seemed to put myself in somewhat of a predicament. I have a Sprint Sgs2 Epic 4g Touch Which Is

Stuck in airplane. Essentially I rooted via a one click, which flashed a rooted stock rom. I then flashed

CM10.1 which I shall forever regret, as CM10.0 Ran fine on an identical device that I have.

The device is currently unrooted running eg30. I've tried to flash the Q1-20110914_16GB.pit along with eg30

to no avail. When I go to settings and look it says unknown under baseband and device. Can't update, nor enter

service codes. I've tried flashing numerous modems but they all hang in odin after it states please wait two

minutes. I've tried different cords, and I've gone as far as to bring my phone into the sprint service center

where the tech seemed borderline dumb. I would really love to be able to repair my phone so I am not out that kind of

money. I've been through a ton of threads and nothing has worked for me. I am at the point where I am about to give up on

this if I can't make some progress. So far I've been able to flash anything but modems without a problem when I do try to

flashva modem it states Write Failed. If anyone could offer a little advice or, just simply tell me if I am screwed or not,

I would really appreciate it. Update: When trying to use cwm I am also getting error msg: E: no such file \sdcard. Anyways
