FF18 one didn't work for me, I had to use the EL29 version but that one worked like a charm. Thanks for the great work sir
Really? I just tried it and it worked perfectly fine. Hmmm.

didn't work for me on beta 1. I remembr chris saying kexec needed to be fixed on latest kernel.
Just tried on Beta1 with FF18 - not working here either - never reboots. Tried it multiple times including re-loading beta1 first and rebooting recovery.
I think I might have had the files in /sdcard/multiboot/multiboot - so I can't say for sure it wasn't user error in my case.

I also could not get it to boot with the beta.
What I did to try booting.
Currently running CM10
Mobile Odin to the CWM5 EL29 direct boot
Flashed CM9 beta 1
Flashed FF18.zip from the multiboot folder
Install from sdcard was complete
Did not reboot into temp FF18.

Failure now with both EL29 and FF18
Strange thing. I'm on beta 1 and am unable to use either version of multiboot (el29 or ff18), whereas before I could.
With EL29, I get an error as follows:
With FF18, it seems to install fine but never reboots. Same problem that others are reporting.
Note that I've used the EL29 method many times in the past with no problems. I tried recopying the multiboot folder from the TAR again just in case it had gotten corrupted, but no success.
After attempting either version, the phone reboots into beta 1 without any problem.

are you using mobile odin (or pc odin) to flash the directbootcwm then rebooting into the flashed cwm before trying to 'boot_EL29.zip'?
If you want to use this temp boot, flash the directbootCWM and then flash the tempff18 rom. Once done with temp rom, reboot back to recovery and just re flash CM9 rom. Do this for now til chris41g can make a quick stand alone kexec kernel.

I do not believe the directbootCWM will boot ff18 at all. Users will need to use directbootCWM and EL29 until kexec kernel is addressed.
Just fyi, I booted into el29 temp yesterday and had to flash one of Chris's kernels and reboot recovery before i could flash back to cm. So you may want to make sure you have a kernel you're able to flash before trying el29 again just in case you get the same status seven error from the cm flash.
I believe this was caused by cwm trying to verify device name.

Yes, it does. The update script in cm9 beta 1 won't assert properly on the cwm included in the directboot kernel.
Also, is running with no sd card going to be fixed?
you wouldn't want your sdcard yo mount. um corruption?
its meant for temporary use to update prl, profile, etc
I might be doing something wrong, but from what I can tell this doesn't work with CM9 B1 following the directions in the blog post. http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/2012/08/temporary-stock-ff18-from-emmc.html
In CWM it just gives "install from sdcard complete" when trying to flash multiboot > FF18 > boot_FF18.zip.
I then used ODIN to flash back to CWM Directboot and it gave the same "install from sdcard complete."
I downloaded the EL29 temporary stock rom and it worked well, but I'm having issues with it updating the PRL in CDMA DFS, going to try QPST and see how it goes.
Edit: Tried a new PRL file and it worked wonders in DFS.

14Epic Touch Blog: Temporary Stock FF18 from emmc
Utility for CM9 Epic Touch
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Ice Cream Sandwich FF18 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
- Update Profile
- Update PRL
- Sprint Activation
- Dial codes and diagnostic mode
QBKing77's video is on the EL29 temp boot but instructions should be almost exactly the same except just use the included kernel/recovery that comes with the CM9 rom instead of the directbootCWM kernel!
Thanks to nubecoder, chris41g, noobnl and mkasick for making this possible!2
Use Garwynn's v0.4.1 kernel to make the Backup it uses the same recovery as AOSP, that's how I always did it, haven't been on AOSP in a little bit.

AFAIK, sbrissen's kernel doesn't have kexec support.
