I am running the rollback Odin root to ED1 / edited build.prop .... EE4 system update is sitting here wanting to be installed. Anyone know if it is gonna kill the root I have ??
It will keep root. Make sure you undo lag fix if you installed new kernel.

I don't recall mine keeping root. I just flashed CWR (odin), PBJ kernel (cwr), and debloated EE4 (cwr) after anyways. No wipe is necessary.
This way you get the radio update, EE4, back to rooted, and debloated.

why are you posting the same exact questions twice?
Well sir if you MUST know, I will explain why this is posted as a stand alone question as well as at the bottom of the 'stock rooted ed1 odin' thread in development. I do this just because I am such a nice S.O.B. .... I edited the build.prop last night as was being discussed in THAT thread. When I re-booted a couple of times I was still getting the update notification and I thought it was still the ED2 trying to be pushed to the phone so I posed the question of why the build.prop edit didn't take. I then noticed that it wasn't the ED2 update at all but EE4 was being pushed to the phone. So I went back in and edited the post to refelct the same, since I was unable to delete it. Now, since this was a new question and it was likely that it would get lost at the end of a 13 page week+ old post, I also posted it as its own question in the general forum where it belongs...

*sigh* ... LOL ... I tried to accept the EE4 and it came back as can't download now try again later. I go into phone and try to check for updates and it says phone is up to date. I'm thinkin due to the build.prop edit and stuff not matching in phone? Baseband version still says ed1 but build says ed2 in about phone listings. It started the download then kicked out immediately and rebooted when I tried to accept ee4 push.
I was able to ODIN this back to ED1 originally. Recovered from a brick the other night (many thanx to droidXcon !!) But I have never used cwr and am a flashing noob so to speak. I am assuming the directions and all downloads are around here if I research it? I am leery of the cwm/cwr stuff as I've seen so many peeps having issues stuck in boot loops and such.
Any help/advice appreciated.
I went back into build.prop and changed everything back to ED1. Phone now shows baseband and build as ED1 again and EE4 is trying to be pushed to the phone again. Looks like I can take the OTA update now and am assuming I will lose root? I have to learn how to use cwm. I downloaded the imnuts cwm this morning, is it as simple as istalling that via ODIN since it is a tar file? Then it will just be a matter of doing the research to figure out how to install stuff via cwm to have a rooted EE4?
Edit: nope ... still wouldn't take the ee4 update. Go to accept it, phone shuts down, get the download image, yellow progress bar makes it about 20% of the way across and phone reboots.

If you have Voodoo enabled it will do that. Make sure you disable before accepting OTA

I had never installed the voodoo ... don't know cwm yet ... when all else fails drop 5 yards and punt... i just re-flashed the stock rooted ed1 tar.

I just upgraded my rooted ed1. The apps I had frozen are still frozen but I lost root.
Okay, I am at what I would consider a stock EE4 build. I did lose root.
So now I need to learn the easiest way to root to an EE4. I have not used cwm yet so I reckon I better learn!! Read the how to once thru. I did try just going into stock samsung recover holding volume/power/home and I did get into that.
So ... I have downloaded the imnuts cwm. Do I install that tar file and it is going to replace the stock recovery?
It now seems as though I am unable to enter stock recovery since I took the ee4? I was able to do this prior to the update. Do I proceed with flashing imnuts cwm and go from there?
Edit: I can get to stock recovery afterall
Also, I see references to some adb pushing in the cwm thread and I am ignorant of adb as well. I need to find a how to thread on all of this !! Is the adb another form of access to the phone that needs to be used in conjunction with cwm?
Edit: I flashed the New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 file via ODIN and I got the blue 'reset' in oding and the the green 'pass' ... I go thru the process to enter recovery mode and the menu looks the same with no added options? I have Android system recovery <3e> but now it is blue .... I think I better wait at this point for guidance.
Any Help Appreciated I need ee4 root !!

So I did Odin to ED1 and rooted. Accepted the OTA for ED2 and kept root. Now like the previous poster, I have the EE4 downloaded and ready to install. If I install it, do I keep root?
Someone said no cuz of modem changes. I didn't flash anything else except the ED1.
Thanks!

My phone is firmware 2.2.1 baseband ver 1510.06.V.ED1 SCH-I510.ED1 Build Number SCH-I510.ED2 ..... is this the ed2 you're referring to? I purchased the phone the day it was released. I want to root to run wifi tethering and want to get it done before VZW turns off the free tethering. NEED it in my big truck !!! On android central rooting directions it says to enable both usb debugging and stay awake. My phone has no stay awake selection available like my original Moto Droid running 2.2.2 FRG83G had. I am thinking this is why I can not install PdaNet ? Any help before I attempt a root to run Barnacle (unless you can give me an easier wifi hack) greatly appreciated.
seeing in another thread that ed2 can't be rooted?? I want to be sure of what I'm doing before I attempt it ..
Looks like ED2.
ED2 can be rooted by using the Odin'd Kernel that gives you Root/Lagfix in the Dev forum.

Yes, that is the ED2 we are referring to in those threads. You will need to flash it back to ED1 before you are able to root.
Once rooted, you can update to ED2. It'll break your root, but flash jt's voodoo lagfix and CWM on and you will be rooted again.
Simple stuff, but I understand how it can look very confusing and overwhelming.

It is confusing that's for sure. I'm glad I didn't accept the ED2 update yesterday when I got my phone. So I will root it while its stock, then update to ED2, then we can root again by doing Root / Voodoo Lagfix / CWM Recovery install. I know what I am doing tomorrow.

IF I flash the lagfix voodoo will I still be on TouchWiz ?
Okay next question .... 1.) I assume there are instructions around to flash back to ED1 .... 2.) So I flash back, root, install Barnacle or whatever hotspot activation app someone more experienced recommends and update back to ED2 and lose my root. Will the hotspot hack app still work or will it have to be re-rooted to keep the functionality?
I was under the impression the phone would not accept updates pushed to it after it was rooted? After flashing back to ED1 to root, are there any vast improvements resident in ED2 that would make me want to go to it? What happens if they decide to push Gingerbread to the Charge ?

My Charge was ED2. I followed all instructions and ran the Stock Rooted ED1. It DID downgrade my phone to ED1. But I am not rooted? I do not have superuser? It is just a fully functioning (so far as I can tell) ED1 Charge. I installed Barnacle (reason for rooting) and it denies permissions saying I need superuser status .... Now what ??

Did you root it? You cant just flash ED1 on and expect it to be rooted already. You gotta run Command and adb push, and make sure adb shell is changed from $ to #. That's when you have root.

Right. Don't extract the .tar file, use it as is.
How do you flash a bin file? Odin does not support that file extension?

You don't flash the bin file, you flash the tar file. Does your browser autoextract the tar on dowload? If so, turn that off and re-download. If you're extracting the tar file on your own, don't, just point to it with Odin.
Can anyone help please? I was running stock ED1 and decided to update to EE4. I put Voodoo lagfix on, then flashed the EE4 update that was in the general forum through recovery as an update.zip. It stopped about halfway through for some reason, leaving me with an "unknown" baseband and thus, no way to get a signal. All attempts to flash different radio updates failed. So, I decided to flash everything over. I flashed the stock ED1 through Odin, but it keeps saying the MD5 checksum is invalid, so I flashed Altered Beast. This got me clockword mod, but still no baseband. Finally, I tried to flashed debloated EE4 through clockword and now, I'm stuck at the Samsung screen, with no way to get into recovery. Any suggestions for my noobness? :/ I can still get it to connect to Odin.
Ok, quick update. I got Altered Beast reflashed. CWM is still on there. I'd like to get back to stock, ED1, ED2, EE4; I don't care which, as long as I have a working baseband. Suggestions?
try redownlolading ed1 because the md5 has to do with the file itself not the phone. Then connect to wifi and update to ed2. after, try flashing the update .zip thats from the forums while you are stock, no custom recovery or anything other than root ed2. if none of this works, then you probably burnt out your sim card like i did accidentaly by activating my old droid x. so if you did burn the sim card, go to best buy or verizon or the costco wireless booth and have them activate a new sim card for you. this happened to me where i couldnt get data or anything and i got a new sim card and pow! it worked. try my initial instructions first. and make sure you are using the PDA button in odin

whenever you flash an update you need to be completely stock thats including the kernel
i would disable lag fix then flash ED1 downgrade and try to update if it doesnt let you i would unroot and bring your phone into VZW tell them the update failed and left you with unknown baseband.
you may be a good test subject to try out his idea on flashing a radio , if he is there yet
also you posted in the wrong section

redownload the file

I would suggest reinstalling the Samsung drivers for the Charge, then open Odin, use a different USB port and try again. I had a lot of issues with flash ED1 and one of the ways I found worked around this (for me) was to make sure the drivers were messed up.

MD5 mismatch happens when a file is corrupt or not fully complete
ok, good news (sort of). the md5 mismatch was being caused by the way chrome was naming the multiple instances of the download. I renamed the file and got back to stock ED1. still no signal, but i got the pop up saying i had a system update waiting, i just have to wait for the battery to charge a bit. I'll check back in soon. in the meantime, thanks for all the help and patience everyone.
ok, installing the update didn't help. is it possible my sim card is fried?

wait i thought if you wanted to flash to stock you want the Voodoo lagfix off? i think your problem might be that your flashing non voodoo kernals to a system that has voodoo on i dont think you should do that, try flashing a voodoo kernal maybe instead of the stock stuff

well, a trip to verizon and trying new sim cards didn't fix it. guess i'll need to wait for a replacement.
I have been attempting to flash the ROM on my Charge all day with mixed results. After much frustration, I have finally been able to flash a few ROMs, and everything works great except I have no phone signal and my phone says "Unknown Baseband." in both slots. Earlier, it said it in only one of the slots. I have attempted Altered Beast, Stock, Stock Rooted, Deodoxed, all to no avail. Is there any way to flash just the modem or radio code?
did you actually read the directions, or just willy nilly flash from AB to stock and so on and so forth?
because they aren't all compatible with each other to do that
I was initially following the directions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657
I went through all these directions, and after a reboot at the end, that's when it developed the problem initially.
There are only two known radios for the phone, and none of the roms flash a new radio, so even if the OP screwed up flashing his rom it shouldn't impact basebands, unless he didn't check PDA.
OP - What all did you actually try to flash? Are you sure you checked PDA in Odin, and not Modem each time?
I made certain I checked PDA each time.
Earlier yesterday afternoon, I was initially following this guide: [http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-t...and-clockworkmod-recovery-installation-guide/]until I realized it was old and didn't work w/ EE4. I had to flash my ROM back to ED1 Stock rooted in order for it to work. After that, I began following the guide in the earlier post. When my radios stopped working after that, I began flashing just about any ROM I could get my hands on, just to see if I get could get my radios back, including the aforementioned Stock, Stock rooted, Deodexed, Altered Beast, Debloated, etc. I eventually had to so the CWM repair ROM [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486] and flashed to Altered Beast and then to Stock ED2 after that, which is where I think I'm sitting right now.

There are several people experiencing an unknown baseband, most of the time its from attempting to use cwm prior to v3 to flash a recovery, then fixing the soft brick and now we have a "unknown baseband"
This happened to me as well. Any way to fix?
Anyone try flashing the official EE4 update.zip with stock recovery? Since that is the only file we have that has modem parts, maybe it can recover your basebands.

Do you know where I can locate that .zip? I am in the same boat and would be willing to try.
My experience with unknown baseband and ee4 update is that it wouldn't update to ee4 because it couldn't find an ltemodem to patch. I don't think the update is just going to insert the baseband because it can't find the original.
I'm back on my Incredible in the meantime. Can't believe how small it is!

In the process of doing this, I bricked my phone even more. When I try to reboot the phone, it says:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-- bootmode=7 from cmdline...
-- Movi_check Start..!!
checksum confirmation need_checksum[0]
Not need checksum confirmation
-- Movi_check already executed!!...
-- movi_checking done!...
#MANUAL MODE #

Then it boots into recovery. Obviously, this is a good example of why not to root your device unless you have a REALLY good understanding of what you're doing.
I would install ED1 via odin and let it update OTA.

That's what I've been trying to do, but unfortunately, it's not working. Odin is saying it's successfully installed, but when I try to reboot within recovery, it loops me back to the same place within recovery and gives me the message I posted above.

UPDATE:
It didn't work. Got an error message in Odin that says MD5 hash value invalid
I flashed the 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5. I didnt see that it worked and then went back into download, thru Odin, tried to flish cwm_Recovery4008.tar. Got a fail and now when i try to turn on it just shows an icon of a phone with a yellow triangle exclamation point between that and a computer icon. it still goes into download mode with volume down and usb connection but it wont flash the default VZW rom back.
Suggestions?
Battery in or out?
battery in = (phone) ... ! ... (cpu)
battery out = can still go into download mode
Did you come from another rom? I think if you want to flash back to stock from another rom via odin you need to also flash the pit file. At least thats what I had to do.

Right now, your best bet is to apply whatever system updates there are. If your phone doesn't get you up to EE4 on its own, then you should follow imnuts' instructions here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10202-how-to-prepare-for-the-gb-ota/
At some point today, someone will be able to confirm whether the update.zip (leaked) is truly 100% identical to the update.zip that Verizon is pushing out for EP4. If it is, then we'll be safe update to EP4 ahead of the OTA, root, restore any backups, and apply working EP4 themes. I'm anxiously awaiting the ability to depoop my phone--rolled back to stock EE4 last night and have hated my phone ever since!
Haha same. I returned initially for the same reason and then was so sick of it i pushed ahead and messed it up. Still haven't gotten the update tho
Happened to me once. Used stock ee4 odin with the charge .Pit file imnuts posted and it brought me back to stock

if anyone gets the rumored new update coming tonight/tomarrow, and takes it succesfully. make sure your rooted, and have adb setup, and access to a computer..then please pm me. thanks.
TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AN OTA. YOU CAN BE BOOTED. BUT YOU MUST:
have stock recovery...it can flashed with odin. see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19760508
you must also have all bloatware. INTACT.and i suggest NOT FROZEN.
if you lose root .....you can easily re-root. with odin. by flashing cwm recovery.tar in doin......then booting to cwm recovery and flashing...the superuser.zip...see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19223405
I forgot to get back to you a few days ago, sorry (I was busy, new kid on the way and working on the house like crazy). When I did get a chance to look at my phone, the update was gone.
I will see what I can do with this update, but I am not going to install it till everyone else has I need my phone too much to let ATT screw it up, I will however, try to get the download.

you must also not have removed any of ciq.

your last bullet (not have removed any CIQ) means anyone wanting to take update CANNOT have the UCLA3 rom/kernel/modem installed as well... correct? (ATT OTA, cd's, or yours since all of these have CIQ removed already). Do we need to be on a stock UCKJ2 like we did for last week's OTA to work... or will stock UCKK1 (your stock CWM KK1) accept update? If not, is there a UCKJ2 CWM rom/kernel zip package?

no i mean if your on kk1 or kj2 and tamper with the ciq files. it may prevent you from recieving it..... or mabye not..since ucla3 is ciq free.... hard to say . but i removed that from the op. hoping this update works lol with no data issues. but im sure there will be some bugs
if i had a skyrocket id probobly odin the kj2 stock tar, and wait for the ota...once atleast one person confirmed it was pushing out.
