No , I only flashed the sxtp file , I knew you meant the modem in case I should try one of those custom roms . Modem hasn't been touched .

I wound up with agat 3.4 , meaning that's the version inside of STXP_Agat_GB27-v0.5.tar and used mobile odin lite 3.76 that I got from xda . play store didn't have mobile odin lite , but to be clear I did not flash a modem . GPS is barely functional too . Wifi works fine .

I was suppose to use STXP_Agat_GB27-v0.5 and not this AGAT_GB27_repack1.tar right ?

I did not clear any cache's or anything . Just installed mobile odin lite , then flashed that file . Maybe a factory data reset or is that a no no ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Here, try this kernel instead, it's newer-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2244781
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
flash with mobile odin over the other one or use the agat recovery ? Should o clear any cache's ? Never done that before . I'll away your reply .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Grab the tar file and flash it in Mobile Odin. Or grab the zip file and flash in recovery... Your choice. Preferably wipe both caches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Hey 3g started working and then gps did too with the first file I just tried a prl update and the 3g icom came back during the process .. I haven't flashed this last one yet . If I flash this last one is it going to be incompatible for me when I get ready to install one of those custom mods ? Incidently , you guided me to my very first ever flash ! Remember that old man you helped out and got going someday < grin > . Anyway I'll try the first one or try this latest one , whatever you suggest but to read the thread looks like it won't work with custom . I'd like to try this stock since its newer and i'm gonna be stock for awhile . Tell me this . If I decide to try a custom rom later , would I just come back , reload the sxt .0.5.0 with odin , then load the custom rom and flash the ics modem in that order ? thanks and you rock man !

Is it ok do do fatory resets ? Some people say it will brick the phone with root , recovery and stuff like that installed . I'd really like to reset it if theres no big danger of that and start clean .

Also I assume you mean wipe cache partition and davlik cache right ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, however Sometimes things won't want to flash in Agat's recovery, and when that happens we use what it's called a safe kernel (EL29 DirectBoot) that flashes everything perfectly except modems. It's a little confusing at first, but once you do it a couple times it becomes second nature.

Haha popped your cherry.

Yes it's ok to do a factory data reset, I do it all the time.

Yes that is what I meant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I flashed itv and gonna try this one for awhile and continue reading and learning . One last question . If I were to say hook the phone up to my pc and run the one click factory gb27 all over again is it going to overwrite all of this stuff ? kernel , recovery , the whole shebang and return it all to factory ? I am hoping the answer is yes . If not then I am guessing i'd have to reflash the factory kernel ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steveokinevo:
Still learning here....... Why would one want to use this over the agat that's built in with projectx?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, it will wipe over everything... Including wiping your internal sd (just so you know, back it up). Completely clean slate with Stock like your phone came (you can choose the rooted or unrooted, like if you need to take out to Sprint;))
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It's basically the stock kernel with a custom recovery, so if you like to keep things stock, this is what you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steveokinevo:
Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Heya , how can I run the one click gb27 rooted factory with agat's recovery ? Won't I need to flash the stock recovery back ? My phone is not doing well with this kernel and I want to try and start clean with the rooted gb27 one click from my desktop pc . I don't have a backup of the original stuff I replaced . I don't even know the version of the original stuff I replaced :( . Nothing is bricked or anything . I just want to go back to stock rooted . thanks .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You can't flash one clicks with CWM. They are flashed through PC Odin. And if you flash the gb27 stock rooted one click, it will leave you with stock android recovery, and if you want agats back, flash it after reboot(using mobile or PC Odin). Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Nevermind , dumb me , I see I can still get in download mode with power and volume down , sorry bout that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
I wanted to come back here and thank you BILGERRYAN ! I had asked numerous questions in various threads with very few answers I could understand but you took the time to help me get started . Since you opened the door for me I have now flashed my first custom rom , flashed a modem and its working great . I'm running the Super Nexus 2.0 with the fl24 modem . You had said not to get confused with the recovery and the kernel and I definitely was . I still am just a tad but its starting to come around clearer . First I flashed that el29 , then the rom and after that the gapps . I was surprised to discover that the custom rom seems to contain a cwm version because after flashing the supernexus rom based on 4.2.2 my cwm version changed to 6.0.3.3 . from the 5. something with the el29 . I was so bumfuzzled from watching scottie ledeaux videos and wondering how the heck he was getting cwm on his sph-d710 . Anyway , yeah I'm prolly off topic but I meant to come here and show my appreciation and thanks to you for helping me out . I'm going to run this rom for a bit and then maybe try one based on 4.3 JB . Thank you again sir for taking your time to help me get a foothold !

MD
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Each ROM has it's own kernel, the recovery is packaged with the kernel. AOSP ROMs use a higher version of cwm than TouchWiz because they are a higher version of Android (4.2.2/4.3 compared to TouchWiz which is 4.1.2). Hope that helps a little.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
kinda off topic but is there a specific reason TW doesn't have a touch TWRP or CWM or is it many reasons ?

VM SGII-jdsingles' deodexed ROM w/ agats' 1.4.2f kernel - AIO and Missing Link -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MonstaDriva:
Yes that definitely helps . Funny thing is I had been benchmarking 3 of these phones and for some reason this one lagged behind the other 2 identical phones by a good 10 to 30 % using 3dmark , vellamo and autu . All 3 rooted , with stock gb27 . The two fast ones are just loaded down with crap and apps and nothing is optimized and still blew this basically clean one away by those percentages . I had started thinking the cpu or something was wrong with this slow phone . Since I put the super nexus on the slow phone it has leaped ahead of both of those phones by approx. 5 % . so that's about a pretty good gain . I also have 2 true galaxy nexus sph-l700's and both are pathetic on those benchamarks compared to the sph-d710's .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Many reasons, but really it is up to the kernel dev on this device. Garwynn's v0.4.0 actually uses the same recovery as AOSP.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallnproud:
Ah, ok. The rwilco12 links are indeed working, but the original ones from the first post are still 404-ing.

One thing I could still use clarification on: I'm on the Virgin Mobile stock Jelly Bean modem (GB28), I've read a couple things saying that the GB27 modem will work fine. Does that sound right? I want to use the "Stock Rooted Deodexed/Debloated GB28 for SPH-D710VMUB (Virgin Mobile)" ROM from jdsingle76, but I need a recovery first(?).

Forgive me if I'm being dumb. I'm not quite used to all these Samsung modem/kernel/recovery/ROM possibilities.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
I guess you could use the Sprint modem but I'd just stick to GB28.

And recovery is bundled with kernel on this device, so once you flash deodex'd GB28, you'll be back on stock kernel (and thus, stock Sammy recovery). You'll need to flash a custom or repacked kernel if you want a custom recovery (you do).

Flashing instructions are in the OP [emoji6] I almost always go the old "Mobile Odin EL26CWM tar" way when flashing TW ROMs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tallnproud:
So you're saying, I would flash the deodex'd ROM, and then flash a custom recovery? Wouldn't there be an issue flashing the EL26CWM tar, since it's a different modem (EL26 vs GB28)? Or am I still misunderstanding this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
The ROM you're trying to flash is actually my daily driver whenever i get the itch for TouchWiz (not often). These are my exact steps...

1. Mobile Odin EL26CWM tar

2. Reboot into recovery by holding Volume Up and Power

3. Once in recovery, press Volume ↑ ↓ ↑ (to toggle Power button selection)

4. Flash TD's FormatAllx2 zip

5. Flash deodex GB28 ROM zip

6. Reboot

7. Mobile Odin custom kernel/recovery tar (I prefer Agat's v1.3 but that's just me)

8. Further debloat, customize, etc...

There's no issue flashing el26cwm tar because you're only flashing the kernel/recovery... the modem doesn't get touched. So if you're on GB28 modem already you're good.

You should just root your phone put a stock rom on it and overclock the kernel past 1.25. Or you can try installing betterbatterystats and seeing whats directly causing the problem.

I would not recommend this but it worked for me after I had the same issue after a bad flash.

Prerequisite is a backup image made by TWRP.

To fix used GNTK to have ODIN load an insecure image with TWRP. Still boot looped. Entered TWRP and Wiped everything (did not leave or reboot.) loaded the backup stock image made with TWRP initially from SD.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpeef:
Apologies for missing/mangled links; I'm not allowed to post any. :P

Download one of garwynn's ma7 Odin packages here:

sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=154

I'd suggest the one labeled "Rooted - KEEPS user data" if you do not have a backup.

Use the one labeled "Rooted- ERASES user data" if you do, or if you don't care about your memory/data.

Here's the procedure:

On the phone: Turn it off (remove the battery if you need to).

Hold volume down, the big button on front, and the power button (stick the battery back in if it's out)

The phone will immediately say "Warning!! A custom OS will melt your phone, eat your dog, etc etc".

Let go of all the buttons and then press Volume up.

The "ODIN MODE" screen will come up (it has a big green picture of the Android guy and says "ODIN MODE" at the top left).

Unplug the phone if it's connected to anything.

Put the .exe file you downloaded above on a Windows PC. Connect the phone to the Windows machine with a good USB cable (even new ones can be bad; cheap cables made for battery charging don't always have all the wires that a USB cable should).

On the Windows PC, go to samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-L900#

Hit "Manuals & Downloads, then the "Software" sub-tab, and click "Download File EXE". (The only file available for download is the USB driver.)

Install the USB driver.

Connect the phone, and make sure the PC doesn't complain that it doesn't have a driver for the device. Disconnect the phone.

Launch the .exe you downloaded from garwynn's recovery ROM post.

Connect the phone. You should get a message like, "<ID:0/009> Added!!" in the Odin window.

Push "Start".

Poof, a stock or near-stock MA7 phone, with or without a user data wipe, depending which version you downloaded.

Stuck in bootloop of some sort

Hi Guys. I am in serious problems. My note 2 kept on going off as much as 5-9 times a day. I decided to flash a new stock ROM. I did this three with three different stock ROM times with similar problem of switching off. On the last time however, my phone went on a bootloop. It keeps on showing "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100" then the android robot(like the one which appears when the phone is doing a factory reset or update, then back to "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100"....

1. I have tried restoring the phone with ODIN unsuccessfully.

2. Kies does not work at all(in fact Kies does not even connect to the phone. When i try using Emergency Firmware Recovery it states "Please enter recovery code from previous PC.." I had previously taken it to the Samsung service center here but i am not sure if Kies is a recovery process they tried using.

3. The Samsung Service Center here in Kenya cannot restore it either.

4. I cannot access the recovery menu at all: the phone only boot loops when i press the recovery combo.

5. I can only access the download mode which i have tried flashing different stock ROM unsuccesfully.

6. Currently the phone bootloops and has even refused to communcate with the computer(not recognised-maybe something related to the USB drivers)

Anyway, i love this phone greatly and i have heavily invested in it. I would not love to lose it. I heard of people losing IMEI because of ROM flashes- might this be something that affected me?

PLEASE HELP! :(
