Flashing the modem .zip returns an error... file is 170kb? Possible upload error?

I believe you have to be stock EG30 to flash the update.zip - you should be able to flash just the modem regardless of what ROM/Modem you're currently running. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You have to be stock EG30 to flash any EK02 modem. Where the EG31 and EG12 come in is, you can only change to those if you leave EG30.

Yarg. Ok this time you early modem adopters give it at least a day or two before declaring LoS has been solved. I think that's why most people jumped on EG31, including me.

Also keep up the good work, devs. Thank you as always!

How do i know that my stock is ODEXED?
I haven't flashed any Rom's, its all Stock EG30. Only thing i tried to do is flash a backup which ended up being corrupted and had to start all over.
So then in this case, the stock rom i have is fully ODEXED then?

I say give them till tomorrow and they will know more, they just got it about 2hrs ago.

Yeah I was kinda figuring on waiting anyways so it's not a big deal. yet just "patching" the modem would be simple if we could get a eg30 modem pulled (which it's been tried and failed) I'm just wondering if there is anyone that still has eg30 on their phones that one of the devs might be able to get or maybe pull that modem from. That alone would fix the issues since we "could" then roll back to eg30 and update.

Like you said they tried and it failed. BUT, they might figure something out. I still have EG30 with no LoS :D

*cough* *cough* maybe you should help them to see if they can do it again :p *cough* *cough* I mean no pressure or anything lol

It's something to do with Samsung, dumping the radio makes it an EG12. Sounds weird, but we dumped the EK02 radio and it was the same as EG12, even though it wasn't. Very weird stuff.

So when we do get the official update if we have the 31modem it wont update? Im confused, if you could explain it would be appreciated. i went to stock without knowing it was putting me on eg31. Kind of bumed. the download is misleading it should be changed to say eg31 [SPH-D710.EG30_CL435803_REV05_user.tar.md5] See it says 30 so i thought i was good.

Yeah right now there is no way to flash the modem if you have EG31 modem. I'm kinda wondering if I can go into a sprint store after the update gets released and just say well when I got the phone it was like this... with EG31 on it and see what happens.

did you flash the rom from here? if so I knew that one had EG31 in it. At the time I didn't worry about it though. I think there is a few ways of going about maybe getting sprint to reflash my phone at the store (maybe with a EG30 build IF they have one if so I might try that. I mean not like it would cost them anything to flash the phone it takes all of 5 minutes and I'm out the door and they are done.

    HUGE thanks to kingsway8605 because without him, we would NOT have gotten this done. He spent hours getting a hold of this .zip, flashing this, odin'ing that, please appreciate what he did for us!!
    Thanks to everyone else for getting the constant help - shabbypenguin, chris41g, T.C.P, graffixnyc, digits, and everyone else who helped out!!​


    No one but you is responsible if anything happens to your phone!
    Please read everything before flashing and proceed with caution!




    New build information

    Android 2.3.6
    EK02 Baseband/Radio



    EK02 Radio
    You can flash this right over your current ROM right from recovery but ONLY IF YOU ARE ON EG30 RADIO!! This is an update for that radio and that radio only! Don't be alarmed, it will take a few seconds to flash it. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that we don't have a stock EG30 radio, only EG12 or EG31. You can flash those if you want to get off of the EK02 modem, but hopefully this radio will eliminate LoS!​


    Stock and Repacked Kernels
    This can be flashed over EG30 ROMs, however, there is no known benefit to it as of now. But feel free to download, test it, and report back!​


    Rooted EK02 update.zip
    This MUST BE FLASHED over STOCK ODEXED EG30. Enough said. Please don't post asking what it can be flashed over because I just gave you the answer. STOCK ODEXED EG30!​

    Thanks, once again, to kingsway8605!!

    Just a note on some of the posts I am seeing in the thread:

    (1) I haven't had the update long enough to say if it fixes the LoS for everyone, but since I received it yesterday I have not received an LoS when I used to get them all the time. Your mileage may vary. The screencap below shows what you should have if you install everything correctly.

    (2) I am not a dev, I am just lucky. The great devs viper mentioned in his post spent a lot of time helping me get the update off of my phone. Methods of extracting the update.zip that worked with older phones did not work with this phone, which only complicated the process.

    If you cannot install it, it is not our fault. You knew the risks when hacking your phone. I only received an OTA and the great devs were able to help me extract this OTA from my phone. At this point, it appears that even when the official OTA update is pushed to your phone, that it will still fail. The moden update only works on EG30 phones, period. Unless a dev can pull some amazing hackery or Samsung gives us a full tar, you are just going to have to wait. The kernel update should work just fine. If you are not EG30, I recommend Calk's EK02 ROM in another thread.

    (3) As pointed out in (2), you hack your phone at your own risk. While this is an official OTA pushed to me by Sprint, it was pushed to ME by Sprint and not you. I have a person to call if this OTA screws up my future update path, but I have no idea how this will affect your future update path. INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    (4) The update includes some very minor UI enhancements and minor bug fixes in addition to the LoS fix.

    Just a dumb thought

    I understand you cannot flash the modem if you don't have "30". Is it possible to just change the name of 31 to 30 and it would flash? I am sorry if that is a dumb idea. I am just a firefighter. Does it look for the name of the file or what is inside of it?

    Actually, get your facts right, yes they told shabbypenguin they had root when they didn't even have root so he rooted it for them too, viper and those other idiots deserve 0 credit and all credit should go to shabbypenguin doesn't matter that kingsway had the ota on his phone, because the dumb **** couldnt do anything with it.

    ---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------



    Yes this is the place because it's annoying to see people like viper and these other wannabe devs steal credit from others and take it as their own because they want the interwebz fame and people need to see and it needs to be brought to the communities attention that viper and his fanboy clique are frauds.

    *sigh* I knew he would eventually make his way in here. You're right, shabby deserves credit for helping dump the partitions and getting it re-rooted and I have fixed the OP. Sorry, I was very tired last night and I forgot to add his name. All fixed now.

    Secondly, he wasn't the only one to get this done because there was plenty more work that happened after we dumped the partitions. He also had them dump the wrong partitions, however that wasnt his fault really because he didnt know the partition list for this phone but we got it corrected. Then it was a few hour ordeal going back to EG30, trying to pull the update, rooting, getting the .zip out of cache, etc. The people that helped with that were in the OP.

    I don't need to justify to you what happened but just so everyone else know that what you're saying isn't true. Its a team effort, something you know nothing about since its all about YOU. Please don't get all butthurt that your pretty damn useless around here (except you're fantastic at being a troll, I'll give you that) and that you couldn't help out. Better luck next time, and oh yeah, how is that new ROM coming along? :)
