this is well known. stop being a newbie and read a little.
you need to pre root the Rom or root with a custom kernel. all thw custom kernels on the board have root scripts in initramfs. take your pick and flash in odin by pulling the zimage from the update package of your favorite kernel and achiving it as a .tar.
you can also pre root the Rom by putting super user in the /system/app folder and su binaries in the xbin folder using magic iso before you flash the package.

If I understood correctly, I should be able to open factoryfs.rfs with MagicISO, modify it (add Superuser.apk/su ) and pack it back to the tar. Then the tar is still flashable with Odin and root is done? Thanks.

I spent 2 friggin hours between these boards and google searching for help before posting this. The few workarounds I found did not work for me and a lot of the posts did not have answers, just comments.
Perhaps I used the wrong search terms or looked in the wrong places, but I am darn sick of seeing people assume some of us newbs don't try to help ourselves before posting.

It's impossible for us to know how much work you did before you posted if you don't tell us though. Not defending the rude behavior, because there's far too much of it across the Internet, but I had no way of knowing that from your first post, so I have to assume you didn't do that research. Maybe if you in your OP had outlined all the things you tried and all the research you had done, the response might be different. We do automatically assume that the research hasn't been done, because the vast majority of people simply don't do it. That is evidenced in their threads and posts, because again we simply have no way of knowing anything about you that you don't explicitly put into text. With that said, I haven't encountered the issue that you're having, so unfortunately I can't speak to how to fix it for you. I am using the latest CM7 which has that baked in already.

I tried adding the su binary and superuser.apk to factoryfs.rfs and re-tarred the files, flashed in odin succesfully but the phone keeps rebooting after the AT&T rethink possible boot logo.
Mine did this twice when I originally flashed it, and I had not altered anything in the files.
I uses Gtg's ultimate unbrick to go back to stock and then it went thru fine.

Yes this worked for also. I odin-ed infusion kernel, then odin-ed the stock kernel. Root was still there and i had the stock kernel in place, only downside is the rom itself is still a bit buggy and laggy and the rainbows at boot, along with no recovery after flashing the stock kernel.
Had to odin back to stock to flash custom roms again.

once you have root get sgs kernel flasher and keep a custom kernel backed up.
also entropy has a new kernel that should fix wifi on this. it should only leave the hdmi inoperative. just fyi.
I thought the ki3 build was very good and smooth before I deodexed it which didn't work out as well as I hoped. not a daily driver but maybe with the new entropy kernel who knows.

MIGHT fix wifi - need some testing. I'm testing UXKG3 backwards compatibility at the moment.
So here's the deal. I've returned my phone to stock via UCKD5 and I updated the modem to UCKI3 earlier today. I've gotten the phone to recognize that I have old software, but it won't update it. It'll download the entire update file (about 19Mb.) And then it'll get to the white install screen, get to 50%, and then it says update failed... This is extremely frustering, and my OCD about not having the newest official software is bothering me a lot, haha. Does anyone know what's going on? Or provide a helping hand?
U using stock kernel? Updates fail on custom kernels.
Also, try with stock modem instead of updated modem.

I don't have a custom kernel anymore, but I could definitely try using the stock modem. I'll give it a try and get back to you.
Thank you very much, good sir. It was indeed the modem.
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

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.

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.

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

Hello.
I recently bougth a SGS4G, it came with the original 2.2.1, and every thing worked fine.
I started to read about de updating the rom and got interested, after reading, I made de update using the one-click metode. I used the Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar, it all went just fine, the phone run smoth, but when I tried to turn on the wifi connection every single time it gives the error message.
Does any one have any ideia on how to solve this problem?
Try it again, you may have had a bad download.

Just curious because just tonight I flashed your OC... or the top one in this thread:

Downloaded it fresh today. "Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2.5 kernel)"
Anyway, the wifi wasn't working. I flashed AntonX's BwaT kernel to get it back.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

I'm not sure why you're looking for one-click installers for everything. The typical way to install is using a zip in recovery. You should be able to find a good selection of ROMs and kernels that you can flash from the recovery that it sounds like you already have installed.
The one-click installers are generally when you have things so hozed up you need to get back to a relatively clean, know state. They generally aren't for getting a fully functional phone. Your WiFi problem is likely the driver that matches your kernel not being installed.
FB is around from time to time.
In general, I wouldn't hold your breath on anyone updating software from a couple years ago. Older projects eventually get archived or deleted as each ROM build you are working on can take 50 GB or more.

Phone was super hosed. Would not restore a Nandroid backup.
A VB one-click would have been fastest.
Would gladly try a newer ROM but my wife and I use wifi-calling every day - until and unless somebody with a newer ROM figures that out, we're on GB.

Gingerbread is cool, especially if you need the proprietary WiFi calling feature. Several of us have poked at those bits and they aren't very happy with anything but the ROM they were built for.
You'll typically have problems if you flash a kernel through download mode "over" an existing ROM. Download mode is partition-at-a-time so it can't, for example, update kernel modules on that are on the same partition as the rest of the ROM.
Lots to pick from once you have custom recovery going.

Since I do not have enough posts to ask on the developers thread, I was wondering what modems i could flash on SlimKat because i have not been able to send long texts. I tried using both the padded modems for newer roms as well as the GB/Froyo modems and i wouldnt get any signal at all and it said that the baseband version was unknown when trying to flash either. Any ideas?
You're in the right forum -- the development forums are generally reserved for active development, not questions about how to use what has been developed. We're a little "sloppy" here because the SGS4G community has gotten a lot smaller in the past few years, but still a good habit to get used to.
@FBis251 maintains a repository of modems, padded for the various ROMs.
Try the various ones and see what works well for you.

Thanks! I tried all of the modems except for the cm7 but when i get more time or when i get frustrated with not being able to send long texts i guess i know where to look.
So i tried all different types of modems and no matter what i would get "unknown" for the baseband version and i would not get signal.

Have you also lost your iemi numbers?
When i reflash the rom (which recovers the modem to kj6) then i would would get signal again so i take it that my imei numbers are still intact. I also have used odin to flash modems before and it always worked with the kj6 rom (with any other modem).

I would suggest using recovery (TWRP or CWM) to flash the padded modem file, less room for error. I use the KJ5 Modem which works for me, had the same issue with long texts on KJ6.
I did try it at least twice on TWRP with the same results... Were you on SlimKat/BeanStalk(4.4.2)?

Yes, Slimkat. Flash the ROM. Then go back to recovery and flash the modem file of your choice. You should be able to then confirm in your Settings-> Status screen. You should see the baseband change, if not there is something wrong.

Had the same thing happen to me. Kept asking and received the answer that worked for me. Just make sure your CWM or TWRP recovery images are updated to the very latest. Should work. Been testing modems back and forth for a couple days now. Still getting sudden signal drops though. I wondering if T-Mobiles update to their towers isn't compatible with our hardware. Seems coincidental that many had this problem start right around that time. Trying to force us to upgrade devices tailored to their services provided...haha anyways...I'll stop ranting now

Just use a file manager to copy the modem.bin file to /radio/
I tried flashing from TWRP and got the unknown baseband error as well. Manually copied it over and all is well now.
The modem installer zips were written for ICS roms. They might have worked on some JellyBean roms but I definitely never tested them on KitKat. @Dwack has the right method for this though, copying by hand should work fine since that's all the .zip files do.
