Awesome, great work!

Need to install Kies to have drivers so that Odin recognizes your E4GT, correct? If so that might be good to note in the OP.

So is this from the original gsII kernel with et4g modules or something? Also i have a question... On the original gsII is the recovery built into the kernel or is it seperate? If so could we just flash there cwm and make a backup and then take that backup and extract what we need? Or would that not work?

    mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

    MTD device is only if u have USB debugging off, the crack for yaffs2? i have no idea, EpicTouch is all about ext4 i thought.

    Hmm - let's look at this.... you're trying to mount the system partition as yaffs2.... but yet you say the EpicTouch is all about ext4 (which you're actually correct about)..... so why would you mount it as yaffs2? That's the first thing causing some angst with people who know

    The second thing - is the SGS2 does not utilize MTD memory blocks. The device doesn't magically utilize MTD blocks when USB debugging is off and another technology when USB debugging is on - not to mention how are you going to run those adb commands when USB debugging is off............? :confused::confused:

    Where are you getting this stuff?

    You might want to familiarize yourself with the partition structure and type of your E4GT by performing this ADB shell command (make sure you have USB debugging ON for the best results):

    Code:
    adb shell cat /proc/partitions

    Might shed some light on things for you..... :cool:
