All Modems CWM3 Flashable [WIP] - Epic 4G Android Development

Alright, after taking a look at the vibrant forums, i noticed that they have CWM3 flashable modems, so it must be possible.
I extracted the tar file of an EC05 Modem and of course, all that's inside is the .bin file. I extracted a modem from the vibrant's 'old' cwm3 flashable files. I also found a batch operation that makes update zip files flashable via cwm3. with some guesswork and a little luck, I created two EC05 Modems, the first is my attempt, and the second is with a few extra files that i think are responsible for modems installing via cwm exclusively. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on my success. (hopefully not brick) If all goes well, I want to create CWM Flashables of all of our modems. wish me luck.
Edit: No dice with the ones I made.. Still looking for a way.

This would make it a lot easier to switch modems. Hopefully you can figure it out and not brick your phone! Thanks.

Greater men have tried, flashing modems us usually done with bmlwrite or redbend_ua. But they don't work for us...modem is always corrupted or something. But, if you get this working, I shall eat my words lol

Yeah, they all seem to be using redbend_ua... I'm looking around and some say there are working and 'non-working' versions of redbend_ua..

Aha,
I've found a different method for flashing modems & i believe to be a working one, but i need to gtalk with an experienced dev or tester, as suggested in this thread.

What is your method? I've tried it all...if you can pm me cwm flashables are easy
sent from my miui-ified epic

The thoughts were to actually flash a modem you needed source. When EC05 first came out some ROMs would update your modem from DK28 or EB13. This why all the leaked ROMs had to be Odin'd. It would be awesome if you found a method that worked on the Epic for those who can't get their phone to connect on the computer.
I just want to say Good Luck, and we're all counting on you!

I found a cwm deodexed eg22 zip on my desktop. Its setup slightly different from Deca's deodex cwm or other cwm roms I've seen. Its very blunt and straightforward with eg22 modem bin in it. I thought if there was a way to eliminate factoryfs with the flash still going through, it'd be around 30mb cwm flash, however I do not kno what is dispensable in the files. I'm thinking dummy files or somehow omitting most of the flash except the modem?

You should be able to delete all but the modem and the flash script right? Did not know there was any ROM that successfully flashed a GB modem.

I think hes talking about a different galaxy s?...

I'm talking about the CWM flashable EG22 Deodexed I had found weeks back ago, ever since I cwm flashed that, I've been on EG22 baseband.. surprisingy I don't see a script anywhere...

Just an update, I'm halting any work until my BB cables come in.. I can't risk it with Samsung's Stock Cable.. computers don't recognize it anymore, much less odin. Lol they should be in Oct 11 the soonest, Oct 14 the latest.

i tried this a long time... i went many routes... the modem is protected and not flashable unless in download mode, bc its in nvram.. the flashable ones are just deltas, they load the differences then apply them on reboot..

They wrote the software that applies the delta, as well as the software that generates the delta... It's their proprietary format, do they have all of the specs because they created them...
Edit: to be accurate, I can't say they wrote every piece of the delta system (I don't know everything, trying not to come across like I think I do, lol). But they have components we don't, that they haven't shown an interest in releasing

[ROM][STOCK UVKD1 - FLASHABLE] T959VUVKD1 Zip File

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

[HOW-TO]EXT4 on GummyCharged1.9RC1 (EP1Q)

How long should it stay at Samsung after doing all of the steps? I did all of the steps. Samsung flashed several times. Now its just staying at Samsung. Been this way for a couple of minutes.
sdcard issues
ok, first of all I did this and everything worked fine.
Upon first reboot, I think it went 4 or 5 times through the samsung bootloop and then loaded the rom (i wasn't watching it fastidiously).
Upon loading the rom and loading my apps from titanium backup, I finally hit the issue of not being able to move apps to the sd card; it just comes up with "failed to move application". I've rebooted just to make sure things weren't off from first boot. It's still not letting me move any apps to sd (even if allowed in the os).
Any ideas on what to try next?
I'm still at Samsung logo. Don't think its going to load the Rom. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Following the steps. This is the second time I've tried this.
NM, figured it all out.
Going to give it a shot shortly.
This failed to work 3 times. Going back to RFS Gummy.

From what I have read over at Rootzwiki, that seems to be a problem exclusive to Imnuts' hacked kernel (possibly, he posted that he is looking into it as some users used his kernel and didn't have this problem). This process uses another kernel.
I was waiting for more users to give reports back, but I might just give this one a go.

Hrmm. Well for the people it isn't working for, try following the guide here to at least get a good copy of EP1Q on there and working first. Then follow my process.
Sucks that the imnuts kernel isn't working right yet. I would love to have the EP1Q kernel working on this, would be much more ideal.
It breaks root for me too. Come one imnuts, i know you know what is causing it, you are a smart cookie. Put out an updated zip already lol...

I've got root on stock 236, I've installed/set up CWM (recovery in bin folder, zip on SD) and I've got root explorer installed..
I'm also aware of this flash tutorial, but being an Android beginner, I'm unsure if that's what we need to do for modem only..
so insight and instructions would certainly be appreciated
Not going to flame as it hinders things and I just read a very long angry post from bh about how annoying the community has gotten lol.
Its not the OPs responsibility to provide full flash instructions for roms. But if you have CWM already its really easy.
Select zip to install click the modem zip file, clear the cache and wa la.
Now if you don't have CWM just put the modem file in the modem section in ODIN and make sure the bootloaders box is unchecked and you're good.
Flashing a modem is not much different than flashing any Rom (except for the lower chances of things going wrong hehe)

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
search and google? LOL ..yeah, I've done that, and I get 2 dozen variations on how to flash - in one tutorial they say to use Odin (but they don't tell you how to use it urhr), in another tutorial, there's no mention of Odin what-so-ever - in yet another tutorial, links point to the Froyo only CWM - and in yet another, there's links pointing to the GB CWM.. and in another there's no mention of using any CWM at all so...
not to be cynical, but I've seen a lot of amagad whining about noobs and android beginners.. but if someone would actually put together a point blank step by step tutorial(s) without being so arrogant as to 'keep it in the community' by being ambiguous with their answers and/or excluding certain crucial or needed instructions in their tutorials, there wouldn't be an excess of noobs asking the 'wrong questions'
you'll always get a few knuckleheads, stupidity's inevitable.. but for the most part, dumb questions would be minimal and posted 'thank you's maximized because the available instructions are clear, informative and concise ..so in more ways than one, kats are bringn it on themselves by being vague and/or self-centered enough to completely skip over certain steps because 'myself and everyone here already knows that -or- there's already a tutorial on that little crucial part somewhere else on the web urhr'
I'm not trying to be an assO here.. but damn people, isn't this just common freakn sense? lol
but thanks for the Re Hampster, after 7 hours and cross-referencing 8 different tutorials, I got it flashed and working

Just make sure you skip the parts about flashing a new rom.
Grab the CWM file he posted and put it on your SD card. Remember where you saved it.
I assume you already know how to flash using CWM since you have your phone rooted?
If you don't, go in the market and grab Quick Boot
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Once you got it installed open it and tap Recovery. Allow with SuperUser.
Once you're in CWM (red lettered text) select Install zip from sd card using the volume keys and confirm using power.
Select choose zip from sd card
Find the zip file for the KI3 modem. Select it and select Yes - Install ki3modem.zip or whatever it's called.
Your screen will flash blue/white text and might go blank for a moment. After this you can reboot. You can verify that you have the KI3 modem by going into Settings > About phone and checking the modem version under Baseband version.

The whole point of putting out Heimdall packages is to make flashing safer, faster and easier but please use some common sense and read before you wildly click on stuff.

If you brick something, you did it, so man up and own your mistakes (and hopefully learn from them).
Epic Heimdall Packages:
The title should be self explanatory. Use these with Heimdall to flash your Epic back to stock or to flash CWM recovery. Do NOT re-partition unless you have an absolute good reason to (Like coming back from MTD and you know EXACTLY what you are doing). 99% of the time you will NOT need to re-partition.

I doubt your bootloaders have been changed though, to my understanding they haven't changed in a while (or ever).

Yes it includes the stock recovery.
And yes you would want to keep the EI22 modem (since you already have it).

Thank you for this. I finally got around to un-rooting / returning my wife's phone to stock. Now I can take it into the Sprint store. This should be the default method to return rooted phone to stock in the wiki, as it is quite easy if you follow the Heimdall instructions.
Can this be used to go back to BML from MTD instead of Odin? I'm guessing not since we can't repartition but wanted to make sure.

bootloaders! aka fix the rainbow garbage on awesome rom leaks

ok i see since it has been so long since all the rogers development started people dont really remember about all the rainbow problems and how they were fixed and how the fix needs source code.
we now have bootloaders available in leaks from samsung. they are needed with the stock kernels that come in the leaks to avoid rainbow garbage. i am providing the bootloaders to be flashed in heimdall without having to flash a whole rom.
i would like to make this explicitly clear that if this bricks your phone i am not to blame. there is a significant risk when flashing bootloaders! though the infuse seems to have safety measures i strongly recommend only flashing once. and if your phone becomes a brick you will need to solder things to the phone to fix it via j-tag or adam outlers unbrickable mod. be cautious! dont flash boot.bin without sbl.bin, dont flash sbl.bin without boot.bin, dont mix up the partitions, and if the phone bricks i dont want to know about it unless you want to pay me to fix it!
heimdall package

odin package (untested)
http://www.multiupload.com.... REMOVED May be failing to flash. very dangerous situation...
bootloaders for heimdall to be added through the "flash" tab (unzip first! ibl/pbl-boot.bin, sbl-sbl.bin)

good luck!
Thanks for posting this. Hopefully it will help out with leak questions that tend to get asked over and over again.

Yeah. Thanks for posting, Dani.
do you know if there its any difference in bootloaders amongst different gingerbread leaks?
I have been running the first leaked gingerbread's bootloaders since Prezkit gave them to us and have had zero issues. I think it was kk1? I've been taking an "if it ain't broke" stance. its going good!

there is difs. but I couldn't tell you what. I saw posts by Linux bozo who did binary diferencials but I don't see any difference.
I know the bootloaders have a counter for customer kernels. if you flash the parameters.ifs from the ultimate unbrick it resets it. I also know they changed the galaxy s 2 bootloaders so it was harder to reset the counter so don't expect to be able to reset it when the official update comes along. I also have been using the "if it ain't broke " theory and honestly don't remember which I am using. the packages here are uckk3. if people can test if the counter can still be reset by flashing param.ifs let me know. ill post older bootloaders if it can't otherwise I can't think of any reason to pick one over another.
If i am flashing the bootloaders via odin does the .tar file go in the pda slot. thank you for this.

yes. that's how I would do it. the PDA slot seems to be automatic as far as partition sorting. the phone slot is for modems but if a modem is included in a package for the PDA slot it flashes just fine. the bootloaders are in the PDA packages normally so that's how I would do it.
please report results because I don't run windows and did not test that package.
I will report back once i get around to flashing the bootloaders. Thanks again for this.

I've been using the UCKJ2 bootloaders since they came out with no issues.

don't select repartition, no need for a pit, the rom shouldn't matter, the file should go in the PDA slot. remember I haven't tested it in Odin. I don't run windows and have little interest in using Odin for anything. phone needs to be in download mode just like flahong a rom. it should only take a second or two to flash. good luck
Cool i should be able to figure this out. Thanks for the quick response.
It didn't work. I had auto restart, f.reset and the PDA slot checked after i opened the file in the PDA slot and after clicking start it just sat at setup for 45 min until i gave up and flashed back to stock. I had to pull the cord while in download mode and the screen turned black with green dots so i had to flash blindly. I tried it twice and the same thing. Has anyone else tried this?

I have a bunch of downloads but nobody reported anything at all till now.
ill pull the Odin version for now. try it in heimdall. its not any harder to use.
Can you post an odin package.
I had an Odin package. I got a few downloads, didn't get any people thanking for it, didn't get any positive feedback that it worked and had one user report problems, see the last couple posts. I pulled the file for lack of evidence that it worked. I don't run windows and prefer heimdall so I haven't tested it in Odin. sorry but I suggest you either flash an entire rom leak then flash a non secure kernel through Odin ( any custom kernel should do also flashing back to stock should also do just fine) and then flash a rom or learn heimdall which works on windows as well as Mac and Linux. I would have done a oneclick package but it still requires the installation of the heimdall back end and I figured it was really no harder to just use the heimdall package system.
any chance of relink thats not at multiupload?
edit: disregard, found a workaround. might be useful in future tho.
