    I'm going to switch from MIUI over to CM9, but saw this this morning. My question is, should I install this first, then CM9, and if so, is there anything special I need to do to root EL30?

    With SPH-D700 coming from CM9 alpha4 and EH17 Modem trying to Odin the EL30 modem Only I stuck twice. So I Odined Stock EL30 Tar and did a lot of work with QPST and checking the configuration with the Sprint Epic Dialer Codes.
    After following a step by step procedure (http://forums.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/151298-root-cwm-guide-gingerbread-rooting-samsung-epic-4g.html#post1568588) until part #3 I flashed with the recently installed CWM 5 my CM9 alpha4 zip file and the special gaps-ics zip (they remained in the SD-card) and I was again in CM9 alpha4.
