Hey all, long time lurk, first actual post here though. I used to jump rom to rom back when I had the original Droid on VZW, but that was so long ago, at least in terms of Android Development anyhow. So ffwd to today, I've had my E4GT now for perhaps 2 months, and I've already rooted it, flashed a Team Rouge Recovery to it (cause it was the latest I think), and am on a stock GB EL29 Rom, and I think an EL26 Kernel.
Now, I know that things have complicated so much more since the last time I was savy doing all this, so I'm vague and still learning about all the different things that can be switched in and out, here and there. But I've been too caught up with all of the recent ICS issues that were presented with the leaks and the actual release. I've since found a rom that I'm comfortable with, AOKP 7-13 , but I'm not trying to mess anything up despite having done nothing but read for the past month and a half about what to do and not to do. One thing I am absolutely sure about is that I came into this scene at a horrible time lol, things have been changing as I read them!!
Now! With this rom, is it completely nessasary to use this specific recovery, CWM5? And, is this the recovery in question? If not, please point me in the correct direction.
And "the normal route" that is mentioned in the first information post in that AOKP thread, would that be the flashing of an ICS rom from a GB rom to prevent the emmc problem that was happening, even though such this rom has that feature removed (at least if I read it correctly)
I'm not stupid nor am I completely horrible at following directions, but after feeling like getting the run around just by attempting to piece together information from different sources, it would really just put my mind at ease, and stop the headaches lol, if someone whom this wasn't so...new to could provide me an outline to follow, or at least do this, don't do that pointers.
I know this is long, and thanks for reading. I'm just hoping to get back into the scene, I hate being anxious and not know, <-- ie. my current state

Okay, first of all, AOKP already comes with a recovery (TWRP). However, if you would rather use clockworkmod then you can use this: http://tinyurl.com/7ysnylg Also, in any case where you want to flash a different ICS ROM, I suggest you use el26 CWM.
I'm aware of the TWRP that is included with the AOKP rom (listen to me, slinging around slang like a pro, lol) I only felt I needed to use CWM5 because it specified it in the instal instructions for the rom.
I would assume that I would need the CWM just for switching ICS's in the future, if that does turn out to be what I'll be doing, seeing as how ICS looks like it'll be nothing but improvements from here on oot.

Ooooh I get you! yes its best and suggested to flash any new ics rom from el29 stockrooted
Odin el29 stock rooted
Then flash el26 cwm kernel
Reboot to recovery then flash the ics rom
If your already on an ics rom MY method is to always Odin el29 stockrooted

Righteo, that helps some. Now I just gotta back everything up. I made my original backup once I first rooted, I shouldn't need to make additional, right? You can find rooted, stock GB roms to go back to...right? Lol its late...I need another doobie :cyclops:
EDIT:
Actually, I'm already halfway through that. I am at el29, stock rooted. And I have the el26 kernel. I just need the CWM recovery, then the actual piece de resistance, the rom. Right Krazy?

I was actually in a similar situation as you. I came from flashing on the HTC Hero(which is running AOKP at the moment, and I'm soon going to flash the new Jellybean rom that was just released for it), and that phone is completely different from the E4GT. Although i didn't start flashing from GB, I started on ICS.
I actually went from FF18 Stock Rooted to AOKP milestone 6 Friday the 13th using Agat's recovery from source, and it's a safe recovery, without problems. I am now loving AOKP

The yellow triangle is Samsung way of telling the techs an unofficial kernel was flashed to the phone. People use a jig or if your on ICS you can use triangle away to reset the binary counter.

Thanks. I am looking to flash for the first time on this phone also, just got it a week ago. I came from the Vibrant which was so much more simple. Another question if you don't mind. I am on the now running stock OTA ICS. Do I just need to Odin a safe kernel then flash which ever ROM I choose or are the ICS kernels that are built from source now safe to flash from?
The kernels built from the source are safe. Agats kernel with recovery. You can flash that kernel being on stock FF18 and flash from there.
Edit: the agats kernel I have is for TW roms. So just do some research on what kernels you can use. (Cm9 and AOKP use different kernels.)

I have done a ton reading, just stuck in the old ways of my old phone and simplicity of flashing on it. It was all a little confusing because even some of the updated ROM threads still say flash back to EL26 first, which is also a TW kernel isn't it? But then I read in another place it is safe to use Agats kernel built from source and so on. I was a little shocked at considerably less custom ROM options on this phone compared to the Vibrant. Granted the Vibrant has been around longer, but there were so many more options at the start which kind of leads me to think it is just that much more work to do that on this phone. By no means is this a negative remark toward any developer, just sort of expected a lot more because it is a nice phone. I was looking to flash the Platinum version of this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712362 since I love the color red. But, thanks for help. I really appreciate it when someone actually gives an answer to a question instead of bash people new to a phone.

And if I remember right, doesn't it only trigger if you flash an unofficial kernel through desktop Odin only? I know the Auto Root Package won't trigger it, and neither will Mobile Odin.

Your correct only desktop triggers the yellow triangle.
Also just my steps to flashing roms 4 the e4gt
1. odin stock el29 rooted
2. flash the el26 cwm kernel (I provided on a few post back)
3. boot into recovery!
Flash what ever you want!
If you want to flash something else repeat those step! As you venture on you will get the hang of things! I hope!

I can vouch for AOKP M6. I have had two problems, both have fixed themselves(with time for the rom to settle in). Haven't tried Paranoid Android or CM9 yet. And I don't plan on it, as AOKP has everything I want in a rom.

I had all these on the Vibrant, but non are as stable as they were on the vibrant (as least by what I have read). AOKP would probably be my first choice because I am very familiar with Romanbb's work since he had a Vibrant at one time and is one of the best dev's.

Paranoid is a great ROM but some things are just a little to small for my tastes. But if I had a Galaxy Note then Paranoid would be the one for sure. But still my question wasn't answered, not getting smart, just looking for an answer...Do I need to flash back to EL26 or 29 before flashing an ICS ROM, or can I use the new safe kernels built from source? I think I need to be held by the hand on my first one.

You should be good from one of the safe kernels from source. I used Agat's recovery from source to flash AOKP from stock FF18 with no problems, did the normal factory reset instead of one of those format all zips. Not a problem with it. It should be safe to do as many factory resets/data wipes as you want from what I understand.

The agats kernel is safe. Flashed two ICS roms already. If you like red, check out the hooligan rom by MaNuFaN721. Themed red.

So.. is there just not enough interest in keeping a tabUI/hybrid rom current??
When AoKPm5 fell off the dev table, I was a little bummed, then PA was ported, and I felt like there was some promissing hope that we would be able to keep the development cruising along for the tabUI/hybrids..
Well.. maybe its just a matter of having the source for the ICS kernel for the E4GT, but with the "source" already floating around.. I'm thinking that the kernel source wasn't the hybrid answer.. I hope I am wrong here though..
Maybe if we have enough voice to say the hybrid roms are still wanted, the development will continue.. :/

Hey Chris, I've been avoiding TWRP cause I thought it had a more "heavy" process to replace your recovery from TWRP. Is all that is needed to restore back to a backup with agat or cwr recoveries would be to just go back to stock first with a one-click or something? Or is that even needed?
This is the only thing keeping me from testing anything with TWRP.

I just thought I had read before that the only way to not run into issues after using TWRP was to go back to stock and then reinstall rom or backup after getting back to stock first.
If you don't have to do that and just factory reset is done from within FF18 (TWRP, CWR or Agats), then my concerns were mute at this point and I should have no problems going back and forth.
I am assuming that you are saying the latter is correct.
Edit: so if the latter is true, then I can flash kernels with different recoveries and they will overwrite eachother no problem? Does mobile Odin work the same if you have TWRP recovery?
The onther thing is that I didn't realize is that you helped or built TWRP, if that is the case, I would feel very comfortable using it, and I also didnt realize you built an FF18/CWR kernel.. I will have to grab that too..

yes i helped Dees_troy with twrp for this device, and I continue to help work on it, I consider it to be a great recovery...
I include it in my AOKP builds.. it includes safety features implemented and designed by Dees_troy and myself..
Those same safety features have been implemented in CM9 alpha6 and recent nightlies as well, so they are also safe.. which means those CWM versions are safe.
Any recovery made by me, Dees_troy, or TeamEpic since the release of TWRP would be considered safe..

IMHO I don't find Tablet UI on a phone useful or desirable, why a tablet UI on a small screen when you can enjoy it at its fullest on a Tablet. Just my opinion no pun intended to anyone. There is a reason to it not being enabled on a phone trust me.

I know some do not like it, but I personally think it looks better smaller, and compact. I do not find it difficult to read as some have described. There are many was to increase font size and still use the compact UI. I don't need to increase however as I like the size it is .. and even though most of the development for that mod has slowed, some roms still have it incorporated to use if desired. I myself have an excellent backup of AoKPm5 with the modded system apps so that everything works perfect.. but its stuck with FF02 as the latest kernel, I haven't tried the latest AoKP kernels with it yet.. maybe m5 will still work with TI, dees_troy & Chris's kernel but I'm not sure..
But anyways, my point is as with most every mod and customization we have for this device, ppl use what they like cause of personal preference and what they like.
You are more that free to not like the tUI mod, but there are still some that like it..

Anyone have a foolproof method via Odin to gain OC for latest stock OTA (uvalh2)?

You can't overclock the stock kernel, and i don't recommend flashing a custom kernel over lh2, none are perfectly compatible, they break Wi-Fi among a couple other things.

So is there not a method I can utilize with my build? Sorry for my noobishness, but i havent attempted to mod a phone since the G2 was initially released. Back then, I was able to utilize scripts to OC + visionary r13. Is there anything similar to this?
No there is not.
There is one LH2 kernel that I am running right now that is overclockable. It is Trinity Kernel in the Original Dev section. Make sure you pick the correct one and please, please, please make a nandroid before you flash anything. If you have already soft-bricked your device, spent hours restoring and are now wanting to flash a custom kernel, you need to make sure you are covered (ie nandroid and reading).
Please note that the Trinity kernel for LH2 is experimental and should be treated as such. Meaning that the LH2 source code has not been released, therefore the source for this kernel is most likely the Sprint or VZW or Int'l version. I am not a kernel cook, but I do know what I am doing.
Tread lightly my friend and good luck. You've already had a rough few days with this shiny, new, extremely expensive toy.

Awesome, thank you for your input. I suppose there's alot I still need to learn- however with a full work load and a lovely girlfriend, it's hard to find time to do extensive research. Meh, I suppose I thought it would be alot easier to OC.
I think I'll just try out the new jellybean ota leak L17 for now.
...and yes, you're right- I should be more careful because this was indeed an expensive toy. I nearly freaked out when I soft bricked my phone!
aside from kernel, MSM8960 is only rated to 1.7GHz..
Mine already runs hot and from the stock build logs, tsens_tz_sensor0 or 4 (CPU temp)

60 -> 0.918GHz
64 -> 0.702GHz

I've been using the newest Trinity Kernel for UVALH2. It runs flawlessly. Even at 1.72Ghz running multiple applications I'm not seeing anything above the 115* area.
Stable, Smooth, Speedy, Cool.
Good Kernel for Rooted, Stock Rom, T-Mobile GS3's running the recent official OTA update UVALH2.

Awesome, thank you for your input. I suppose there's alot I still need to learn- however with a full work load and a lovely girlfriend, it's hard to find time to do extensive research. Meh, I suppose I thought it would be alot easier to OC.
I think I'll just try out the new jellybean ota leak L17 for now.
...and yes, you're right- I should be more careful because this was indeed an expensive toy. I nearly freaked out when I soft bricked my phone!

Interesting. i may have to find this Trinity kernel. Hopefully i won't screw my phone again. Thanks again, men!
Perseus is a kernel for the i9300. Your phone is a T-999.

Meaning that the LH2 source code has not been released, therefore the source for this kernel is most likely the Sprint or VZW or Int'l version.

Kernel source from the i9300 is unusable on the T-999, just for future reference.
Fraken-kernel comes to mind.
I've been using free gs3 and xquizit v70 with ktoonsez kernel, I've tried to go up to 2.1ghz, but went back down to just 1350mhz max clock and 96 mhz min.clock, and its still smooth and fast, i even did undervolt. Why Don't you try those rom and kernel?

Awesome..in going to find that a try after doing some research. Is it necessary for that rom to be used for that kernel? Excuse my noobishness
As for perseus being intended for non-tmo, the guide claimed to be compatible. I think my mistake was initially flashing an old kernel intended for for preupdate. I dont know.. lol
I usually just go to the t-mobile galaxy s3 forums, just to make sure that everything i download and install are all compatible. Lol. Don't want to brick my s3. You'll find everything you need there, from stock roms to custom ones, kernels, even themes and lots of mods. Just be patient searching and reading. Once you get the hang of it I'm sure you'll try every rom, kernel, etc.
I came from an Htc hd2 now that's with my 8 yr old daughter. Lol. I learned a lot from there, once i got my s3 it was a piece of cake to root and customize it to my liking.

Hi, I am not new to rooting and custom ROMs but it has been a while and the forum has so many roms that it is hard to decide which is the most stable.
Would you guys please recommend to me the best/most stable/most customizable(cyanogen) AOSP rom for this phone? Basically I'd want the best CM9 rom and hopefully CM10 once its stable.
Thanks

1. I believe the difference between the to sections is that Original development is for AOSP based roms while android development is for roms based of stock or leaked firmware. That being said i dont think that many people understand that when they post and it has been kind of a Cluster f.
2. Are you currently on the OTA? you will need to odin a kernel that has a working recovery with it. If youre going to another rom right away it may be easiest to odin EL26 cwm, then load into recovery and flash because this will install the kernel/recovery packaged in the rom.
3. Ive used AOKP some and its pretty nice but i am one that likes to stay with a rom that still has activity. That way if i have problem there may be a chance that it is going to get fixed. But if you are ok with a few problems here and there go ahead and test out CM10 or sbrissens AOSP.

1. Yeah I was going towards that conclusion but I dont think people understand it either.
2. I already flashed CM9. I used the mobile odin method in this link: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
I flashed the kernel and I got stuck on recovery and couldnt get back to my regular rom. I was just wanting to get a recovery then I mounted the storage and put CM9 and gapps and flashed away. Now im running CM9 and its flawless.
3. Can you link me sbrissens AOSP? Thanks!

Hi guys. I know this is probably a stupid question, but I would love to get a recovery on my phone. I'm coming from the evo3d which as super easy to work with. Right more I'm on fk23 I believe it's called through Odin. Really want to try cm10
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Get mobile odin and flash the el 26 kernel. Really simple
Before you boot cm 10 don't forget to flash an ics or gb modem first in the same time of flashing the Rom
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Best thing to to would be to read the stickies and how tos. And then read them again. Improperly rooting and addding a custom kernel (Recovery is part of the kernel on this phone!) can brick your device!
Not saying this to be a smart ass. Really it's that important; read the stickies, wikis and how tos. And once you've done that you will surely enjoy this phone.
Then read through the ROM OP you wish to put on your phone and read the the following posts - all of them.
You will save a whole lot of frustration and get 99% of your questions answered before you go and ask.
You don't quite say how you got to FK23 and what version - I assume you used PC Odin and via the One-Click Stock Rooted method. If that's the case you can, as the previous poster suggested get Mobile Odin (via playstore - my recommendation to support the dev, or go to the devs post and download the xda only app and kernel part there) and flash the EL26 CWM kernel that way. Or you could even use the One-Click Kernel method rwilco12 has them all here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 or the 'Direct boot to safe recovery - CM team has info here http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html
Either way, and espeically with Cyanogen builds follow the install directions - EXACTLY or you'll be making an expensive paperweight.
Good luck have fun.

Cool, thanks for the quick replies guys! I saw a FK23 packed with AGAT recovery floating somewhere, my question was, if I flash that with Odin, is that firmware compatible with cm10? Or Miuiv4.1? Or any rom for that matter if it doesn't specifically say built on fk23?
And so only the ICS kernel will work on those roms, eventhough they are JB? I thought I read somewhere that modems and kernels werent backwards compatible. Appreciate the quick responses, I'm not a total noob I've flashed and rooted lot of other phones, just got these phones in the mail wednesday though.
DO NOT use the TW kernel repacks on CM builds. That is a brick waiting to happen.
Modems that is another story. JB modems are needed for JB TW builds but some have been able to use older ones, most notebly on the AOSP ROMs.
My best advice stands read through the OP of the ROM you are wishing to use then read through the entire followup posts. The CM team golks suggests EL29 direct boot or EL26 'safe recovery' and then using the kernel supplied by the ROM - CM10 kernel. The Miui also has the same explicit instructions. I'd heed them. But the choice is yours
search is your friend.
Thank you leaderbuilder, I almost bricked my wife's phone twice. I got it fixed, but I just asked in another thread on some advice on what to study up on & I click here & read your post. Heading off to the stickies am I. Thanks again.

I haven't flashed a rom since Calks 4.0.3 rom.
I feel uneasy, and would feel better if some of y'all shared your personal flashing process.
Also, would I have to do anything special to get on a JB rom? What are you guys running?

Hey! Generally, my flashing process is to 1. Backup my stuff 2. Get a gps lock and power off the device 3. Use either Calk's Format All or the JB Format all x2 4. Flash the ROM You wouldn't need to do anything special when switching to JB by the way, only maybe the GPS lock. If you are happy with the stock feel and stability/battery that Calk's gives, I'd recommend Stock rooted. For more customization, AOKP 4.2 or CM 10.1. Hope this helps! =P

Don't forget if its TW JB you need to also flash a JB modem or data won't work right and you need to flash back to an ICS/GB modem to go back to ICS or AOSP JB builds for the same reason. After flashing modems always flash to a TW ROM and update PRL and Profile before flashing an AOSP based ROM

But there are so many conflicting posts. And, his videos are marked outdated in the threads I have seen.
The first post in this thread was helpful, but then someone else added something to it and I'm confused again.
Most ROM threads are hundreds of pages long. It's not feasible to read the entirety of it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I recommend you consider a stock/rooted build to start, especially if you need your phone to be reliable and want to use it as a phone, if you don't car about reliability and if you use it as an entertainment gadget and don't mind fixing on a daily basis then go after some custom roms.
So you have two categories, stock/reliable or custom/mysterious? Fancy tweaks, bells and whistles don't always mean reliable.
Pick one and start reading, skin and look for recurring issues, the less the issues the better the Rom.
Re-read op's and use videos as a reference and keep it simple.

How do I discern between an AOSP and a TW rom?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Usually you can pick that up in the title of the thread and in the op.
Source has not been realised for JB, so choosing AOSP is going to put you into a custom rom vs a stock rom, to flash you will be using antiquated methods until source is available, thus increasing your bork potential.
I would go stock/rooted gb08 jellybean which is TW based and the one click is everything you need in one package for now. You want to keep it simple for now.

Going to jump in here.
You discern by reading about the differences. You search, read, then read some more. Usually a whole lot more.
If you don't, you are sure to end up with an expensive paperweight. ESPECIALLY if you are not careful going between these two very different type of ROMs.
PanchoPlanet is right you should probably start off with some 'One-Click' stock rooted ROMs. And since you don't know what those are I'd take the time to read up on them. Get comfortable using PC Odin and Mobile Odin. Learn and understand how to use clockworkmod recovery. Learn how to install zips via recovery. Learn how to flash kernels and modems via PC Odin. For all of these there are plenty of How Tos and Tutorials here already done by excellent developers and contributors.
Read the post on how not to brick too!
Good luck.
