Quick update:

With Garwynn's help finally was able to build a working GB27 kernel with my recovery.

I'll start updates and tweaks today and hopefully will be done by mid week.

As for GC01 repack I'm still waiting for some feed back from testers.

I wanna hope since I don't have anything yet it's a good sign.

If no complaints by tomorrow evening I'll post it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awesome Donkey:
No complains here, that's for sure. The GC01 repack works great.

Re: [NEW][KERNEL][REPACK] GB27 with AGAT tREC_v0.3.2 recovery

with the gb27 version has anyone tried a backup full wipe then restore?

I have on the kernel in garwynn's post. Flawless on JellyVerse

Re: [NEW][KERNEL][REPACK] GB27 with AGAT tREC_v0.3.2 recovery

Same as cerj. Running perfectly on JV 2.0

Re: [NEW][KERNEL][REPACK] GB27 with AGAT tREC_v0.3.2 recovery

Running perfectly on The Goodness Rom. Thanks for the great kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Did you do the factory reset or the X2 wipe then restore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
Not when I flashed my nandroid. Have not flashed a rom with this recovery yet. I used Mobile Odin once I was on JellyVerse,to flash the kernel. I have wiped cache and dalvik, and flashed a few mods. I did make and restore a nandroid, without having to flash the rom first, like the leaked repacks required us to do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Reason I was curious is that going between ROMs was an issue before - as you mentioned requiring the ROM flash first. If I can get out of here early enough I'll give it a go. Maybe flash an AOSP 4.2.1 see how that works then go back to my nand of my tweaked out stock rooted TW
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
Before if we didnt flash the rom first, before the nandroid, we wouldnt get the preload. With the new kernel from garwynn/agat recovery, I restored my nandroid without flashing the rom first, and success. Booted right up, including the preload. Im happy about that.

I have issues with WiFi when I use these repacks on my goodness Rom. I've tried several different versions and still have issues.

Which one should I download 3.2 stock kernel or 3.2 with smart assume do both work with tweaks

I ment smart ass
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
I use the GB27 stock kernel and you can get it on rwilcos.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shortyred:
Is the epic able to side load boot like the nook color does?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shortyred:
I just have a question about this repack mine boots up as gt-19100 with a triangle is this normal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yes its because you have a custom kernel. Your binary counter it not zero.

Use triangle away from the playstore to reset your counter and remove the yellow triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joe.stay:
How do I go back to stock kernel? Do I just flash it with mobile odin too?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
New repack with latest recovery is up.

OP has been updated and link posted.

Recovery is compiled with CM 10.1 source and has been tested with GB27 source build kernels.

My thanks to Garwynn for all his help with recovery and for tests and ideas.

Without his help this recovery would not be possible.

Hopefully new repack will take care of all other known problems as well.

If not let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Spin it first thing in the morning. Many thanks to you two for ask the time and work! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stryfe2010:
How does this differ from the ver 5 kernel that Garwynn has posted with your recovery and is it possible to post a zip form so I can flash it from your recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
This is a repack, not a source built kernel. You can find Agat's source built in the original dev. section. If you read through that thread there are posts regarding the differences between Agat's and Garwynn's projects. Garwynn is pretty much done his and Agat has taken things a bit further now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stryfe2010:
Thank you for the info CyberpodS2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monkeyrasta.702:
Is there any difference between this and the 1.2version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
This is stock kernel. The only deviation from stock is custom recovery.

But this still stock.

Kernels 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 are source build kernels with added features, governors, i/o schedulers, OC/UC/UV support, extweaks supprt etc.

So I would say there is a difference between this kernel and v1.2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
I have been having and old issue coming back with the apps installed on sd that are grayed out. It only happens when I do a battery pull or a random reboot. I am using the Repack1. The only way to fix it is to flash back to stock then back to repack or source built. Is this still a known issue or is the an updated repack I do not know about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I was hoping that repack1 will fix that issue but apparently it didn't help.

Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
deleted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
No big deal. Just was wondering. I use the repack cause I seem to get better battery life with stock kernel. I don't use any governors but I might give it a try.

Where is the updated links? Are the in this thread? This OP doesn't look updated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I guess I posted in wrong thread. :D

It was intended for GS4 thread.:eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
I know this is an off the wall question agat but some of us use the uscc variant of the galaxy s2 (sch-r760) running all the roms from the e4gt here at xda I'm running newest black bean 9 right now but can this recovery or any recovery that will allow us to get past 1.2 GHz be flashed to our devices mate? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Recovery has nothing to do with frequencies.

As for kernel, I honestly don't know.

There are 2 ways test to it.

1. Just try to flash kernel tar with oding to avoid flashing to the wrong partition using zip updater script.

2. Try to flash the kernel tar or zImage with Mobile odin.

To best of my knowledge worse that can happen if you use either of the methods your phone won't boot but this should not case a brick.

But I can't guarantee that..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
Flashing it with either of these results in a soft brick but I had a nandroid backup so no worries but yes your right it is a modified kernel I'm looking for that you can use to raise the max frequencies past 1.2 GHz its just a matter of finding a a kernel and recovery that wont soft brick our device at uscc while as works perfectly for the e4gt when I do flash it though it will not into agats cwm all green and everything lol but thats it endless boot logo the rest of the way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I can try to look up your source on samsungs site and see if I can add some stuff to your kernel.

However it might be not even the kernel source itself but just the ramdisk issue.

Give me a link to a working zImage file and I'll try extract the ramdisk and just pack it into my latest E4GT kernel and we will see if

it boots.

That would be the fasted solution if it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
Ah hell yeah man glad to hear from you and nice to meet you and I was getting ready to attempt to compile one myself from source but I have no knowledge of it lol but really a working zimage perhaps? What zip exactly or ROM or amything like that can I find that at and I will help as much as I can

Edit: maybe you can find a zimage in a guys kernel here directly at our site for the sch-r760 the guys name is droidroidz and he has a kernel here with oc support but its for gingerbread and will soft brick of course lol but I think it has a working zimage for us I'm sure of
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
A working zimage can be obtained from a rom that you flash on your phone and the phone boots without any issue. Zimage will be in the zip. Preferably a touchwiz rom I would assume.

If you know the partition of kernel(zimage) of your phone you could also do this which dumps that partition on your sdcard.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/kernel bs=4096

Rename kernel to zimage.

If you are not sure if mmcblk0p5 is the kernel partition on your phone or not. Do this.

In terminal with root permissions type this..

$ su
# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

If it asks you to fix something, type ignore and ignore it. In the end you will get something like this..

Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 4194kB 25.2MB 21.0MB ext4 EFS
2 25.2MB 26.5MB 1311kB SBL1
3 27.3MB 28.6MB 1311kB SBL2
4 29.4MB 37.7MB 8389kB PARAM
5 37.7MB 46.1MB 8389kB KERNEL
6 46.1MB 54.5MB 8389kB RECOVERY
7 54.5MB 369MB 315MB ext4 CACHE
8 369MB 386MB 16.8MB MODEM
9 386MB 923MB 537MB ext4 FACTORYFS
10 923MB 3070MB 2147MB ext4 DATAFS
11 3070MB 15.4GB 12.4GB fat32 UMS
12 15.4GB 15.8GB 327MB ext4 HIDDEN

So here mmcblk0p5 is kernel, mmcblk0p7 is cache and so on.

Our device has completely stock ICS 4.04 is as far as we are to my knowledge but any of the ROMs here for the e4gt that are jelly bean 4.2.2 are working for us I'm running the latest black bean as we speak

Edit: I'm going to try to download a stock ROM modified and debloated a bit from our own site and find a zimage in it also when I can get it to download all the way slow WiFi sadly ;( I checked in all the ROMs zip here at xda and can't find a zimage in them anywhere I've seen a file with that name before in them before I know I have

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Also would like to add I uploaded a zimage inside or stock base ROM for our device so here it is

http://d-h.st/Foq

Maybe this will help out also the ROM is 4.04 nothing officially released in 4.2.2 jelly exists for us sadly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
This kernel is for JB 4.1.2 OS and not ICS.

If you try to flash it with ICS rom it won't boot.

If zimage you provided link for is from ICS rom/OS you whould have to flash it with ICS roms.

Please be more specific what rom/os are you running and what rom/os you want me to try a kernel for.

And you said you running E4GT black bean but I don't know what build it is.

So please. More info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
No problem mate right now I am running the latest black bean 9 from here for the e4gt

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123198

This ROM exactly is it helps mate and would love to have a kernel that would allow higher frequencies for that blackbean on the one I linked the zimage file that I uploaded is one from inside the zip on our site for stock rooted fl26 with cwm and if it isn't possible for black bean then one for the stock rooted would be great as well ... Hell even I would love to have the knowledge to compile kernels from source as you guys would work wonders for me

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Also would like to add that opening terminal up and running su and granting it and then checking the dev block for the kernel (the second command you listed) failed saying sh parted not found
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That rom is CM/AOSP.

I'm not making kernels for either of them and never did.

You should ask CM/AOSP devs for kerne.

Non of my kernels will work with it.

As I said.

If you provide more and detailed info I can help you more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
I kinda went snooping around inside root browser (great app by the way) and I found these files inside the dev/block directory anyway with close to the same name

http://d-h.st/xTM

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

What ROMs exactly are you developing kernels like that for and I will gladly switch to one of them to have this advantage and also this ROM having it would be beautiful for if not anything else you are a good man glad to meet you anyway

http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/3775-rom-fl26-rootedbusyboxdeodexed-wfk19-cwm-kernel/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Any TW (stock) based rom.

No AOSP/AOKP/CM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
By touchwiz would that mean it would eliminate being able to do it for the ROM I linked to you which is 4.04
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Any rom that is based on stock OS.

If that black been rom works for you that means any E4GT rom should work.

Search for a rom you like that is based on TW (Stock ) and not CM or AOSP.

Try it. And if rom works this kernel will work as is and not moding will be needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ps3hacker3:
By stock tw I may be a little confused here coming from my device and yours can I ask for an example perhaps or maybe the android build number or version of android sorry for minor miscommunication here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
This roms are stock based.

OK thanks a lot and that exactly as I thought they were but I think I have tried to run the blu Kuban before which did in fact run into a soft brick but I will try again as that was long ago and im not sure if I can flash this directly from 4.2.2 with just wiping data dalvik and caches only but I will try anyhow and report back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
No you can't, wipe everything. And you probably were running the ICS Blu Kuban, this is a Jelly Bean Kernel.

Roger that will try to get blue Kuban running on my device before I even attempt on converting it over to uscc sch-r760 for my device and then flashing one of the kernels here I know of that allows higher frequencies and will report my findings back to you mate ...

So NO oc/uc/uv, any additional governors or I/O schedulers, tweaks etc..

tar PC oding=YES

Yes, if you don't have MO or cwm already, download the tar and flash using pc odin. Then if it bothers you, download triangle away.

You can flash whatever zip you want that's compatible with e4gt. If it doesn't work, just restore and try something else. Most important thing, read the OP. Agat, Garywnn, and crew busted their a**es getting these kernels perfected, and they are fine as dd
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Picking up a GS4 tomorrow, but figured I'd get my GS2 in *CLEAN* working condition, just in case I need to drop back down to this hardware, or the wife takes the handset for her daily driver, etc.

Any suggestions or guidance on how to take a pretty mucked-up, 2-year-old GS2 currently running GB27/Agat v0.3.5, wipe/clean everything (internal memory, caches, external memory card, etc.) and get back to a fresh install of GB27/Agat again? I don't mind going through a bunch of steps, or even starting from scratch and working the way back to GB27...I just don't want all of the old app data and settings/tweaks/whatever hanging around. A fully wiped handset with the latest GB27 (and not much more other than root) as an end result would be ideal, and a good place to leave the phone, just in case one of us needs it in a pinch.

Thanks! (See ya all over in the GS4 forums! :good:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
PC Odin a stock ROM and format your external SD on your computer... That takes care of everything I think. Just remember that PC Odin wipes internal SD, which is what you wanted, just back up whatever you need.

Team Rejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
That sounds simple enough. Then load up this kernel (to get Agat's recovery) and it should be good-to-go?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Exactly.

Stock rooted tar will give you clean phone.

Than just download mobile odin and flash kernel to have recovery.

That's it.

And yea......

See you at GS4 :D

I'm there and even tho I did compile my recovery for GS4 as well I'll suggest to use TWRP (touch recovery).

And you can use my kernel as well...... ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Doctor_XXX:
Perfect. Thanks, guys. (Appreciate the heads-up on the GS4 recovery, too...most likely I would have grabbed yours right off the bat.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There is nothing wrong with my recovery.

Everything works just fine but IMHO the touch recovery if more convenient.

But you can try both and decide for yourself.

And my GS4 kernel has autoroot...

Pretty much you can flash my kernel via ODIN or heimdall and it will root your phone on boot. ;)

It has been setup to check root on boot and if it's not there flash su binaries and supersu.apk.

But you can go the normal way and root your phone and then flash kernel zip file in recovery.

Delete. Not sure what's up with my phone.

Custom Recovery help

Hi , I have a sph-d710 stock but rooted phone running the one click 4.2.1 gb27. Some bloat removed and phone runs great . I've only used a oneclick once and would like to install this agat recovery so I can do a nandroid and back my phone up . There seems to be more than one available .Exactly which version do I need and exactly what version of mobile odin will I need to get ? My experience is limitied and I want the most dependable trouble free one . Later if I become experienced enough to try custom roms would there be a pathway with this to try the super nexus rom or would I need to go back to ICS to get a different modem ? Anyway can someone clearly specify those two files I need and if the qbkin77 video how to install custom recovery to gb27 would still be a good guide to follow ? Also I'm confused about the agat recovery or if this > STXP_Agat_GB27-v0.5.tar . is what i need . Are they the same thing ? thanks so much
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Just download Mobile Odin Lite from the Play Store. Yes the Agat GB27 v0.5.0 is what you want. The kernel and recovery are packaged together on this device, don't confuse yourself with the recovery version, just get the correct kernel and you will be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Thank you lord and thank you bilgerryan . I've been hoping someone would answer this for me . Let me ask you this . If I'm going to try one of the new custom roms like the 4.3 10.2 variations or the super nexus rom based on the 4.2.2 or 4.3 am I on the wrong path for that eventuality ? Will this agat recovery flash those roms ? Will I be able to get back to ICS with a clear cut method to trying those . I figure to try one of those soon but I'm a little confused about some of what I've read concerning needing to have an ICS modem . If there is an alternate route I should take then I will . I'm just taking little steps trying to get accustomed to all of this but I am technically inclined . I thank you for responding to my post more than you can know . I'm wanting to make the move to 4.2.2 or 4.3 with one of the more stable , dependable roms with the least amount of issues possible as i'm 73 years old and as you get older you also get a little dumber , bad as I hate to say it . I want to play with this some to keep my mind active and I can follow directions to a T if I can understand them . One reason I've got my eye on the supernexus rom is I have a sph-l700 too and I like the vanilla android . The other reason is from what I read it seems to be very stable with not many issues but I'm interested in any suggestions you may offer .This sph-d700 is an extra one I have that I will be testing with . Anyway thank you again !

You'll want FL24 or FI27 (ICS) for AOSP ROMs like CM10.2, and you just flash that in recovery or the one clicks are for flashing with your computer.

Did you flash the modem? You should only do that if you're flashing an AOSP ROM. Flash the GB27 modem to get data back if that's what you did.
