is there any easy way to go from fe07 kernel locked android recovery to an unlocked android recovery?
Not the stock one..Ics app from play store..

Here are traditional ODIN .tar.md5 versions of Unlocked and Plus FE07 kernel repacks (they are 7zip self-extractors, so double-click to extract the .tar.md5 file):Keep in mind many ROMs include their own kernel, so after flashing each ROM, you should go back and install the FE07-plus kernel. I'll provide a .tar.md5 version you can flash through ODIN since it is more convenient.
Yes it is possible. If you are on stock Samsung provided ROM (ie not a custom ROM), you have a decent chance it will work fine, however be prepared with your backups in case it has issues. Issues are usually bootloop or random FCs, both are recoverable by flashing the Full version and restoring your user data (don't restore system data)Can I go from rooted EL29 to this without wiping my data? Do I have to do a full restore? Is it even possible to go from EL29 to this build? How so?
Ok, that is good information. So either we are looking at the wrong field, misinterpreting what that field means, Samsung has been too aggressive in limiting the scope of their fix, or they are fixing something different than what we are seeing.So I have a /data bricked device. I odined stock cwm and ran ADB. Got

Hey guys I watched QB Kings youtube video last week how to install and you drag the downloaded file over to your card, I cant get my card to come up on the side. I just get Removable disk E and Removable Disk F. Just messing with my phone when I plug it in and click USB storage on my computer I have 2 windows that pop up, my card, and obviously phone. How can I get it back to 1 folder and get card to show up in My Computer folder.
FE07-Plus is not CWM. It is an unlocked stock recovery that will let you flash kernels, modems, themes, roms, etc. It doesn't do backups.Okay, perhaps I'm missing something, but is there any way (using the oneclick packages) to get a fully up to date (FE07 for the build and kernel) install along with CWM installed? I did the NODATA ODIN method to go from FD26. Everything went fine with that, so I then proceeded to download the latest oneclick pakage and ran the option for the ICS builds... choosing to install the FD02+CWM on the next screen. This too seemed to work fine. Then, I was thinking that I could just install the CWM zip repack of the FE07 kernel via CWM and that would get everything up to date. That install seems to have worked just fine, however, now the recovery is back to stock. Am I missing something, or is there just no way to do it via this method? Thanks.
You'd have to tell me if it is the desired behavior for you, but it is the "expected" behavior.I don't know if this is the desired behavior, but I used auto-root to enable USB-MS on FD24, and it kept through the NODATA package to FD26 and to FE07. USB-MS is still enabled. I assumed it would be reset when doing NODATA, but I guess not.

garwynn and I are investigating this. So far garwynn has found a code checkin from Samsung that has a reasonable chance at being a workaround for the brick issue. Garwynn has also confirmed this checkin is included in the FE07 kernel.
We have put together some questions and are communicating with the developer who checked in the fix to get more details.
We have NOT verified if the fix actually works to prevent bricks. Given the nature of this brick we thought it would be better to have a few limited people test it out first to confirm the workaround rather than tell everyone it is fixed and find out it is only partially fixed or we misunderstood what they were fixing.
We have now found a case of an EMMC /data bricked phone with fwrev 0x0, so either we are not understanding what Samsung's fix is doing or they have not addressed the full scope of the problem. Do NOT assume if your fwrev is 0x0 you are safe.
The workaround/fix applies only to certain EMMC models/revisions. Presumably other model names and/or revisions do not suffer from the issue.

To determine what version you have
We'll be putting together a more detailed writeup soon.
So sfhub, what are your initial thoughts on FE07? With all of this useful info you are providing, I may have missed your take on how it is compared to FD26
I think if you are bothered by the flick sensitivity for auto scroll, you will still not like it. If you don't mind or like the flick sensitivity you will like this ROM.So sfhub, what are your initial thoughts on FE07?
