EE4, what is it good for?

Anyone have a changelog between ED2 and EE4? Anything mind-blowing?
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Dude it's literally like 6 posts above your post.
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
what fail to read through the thread. /sigh
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Is booting into stock recovery the same 3 button combo as booting to CWM?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Keighles:
Wynalazca....

The link for the EE4 Update is labeled E2 update. Is this the correct file?

Sent from my voodoo Droid Charge ED2
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Well I followed the process outlined above, but I lost root. Oh well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
So a radio cannot be flashed?:(
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Currently I don't believe so but I am new to Samsung stuff. However I'm sure it wil lget worked out sooner or later tho.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wynalazca:
Yes.

Yes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Odin and Heimdall both allow flashing a radio image. A fully functional CW recovery should be able to as well as long as it's packaged properly.

Of course you'd need a proper radio image to flash. The one posted above is a patch, not a full fledged file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
Thanks for the clarification. I should have been a little more clear myself in the reply as I knew it is possible but you have to have the right file like you stated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] s44:
There are no standalone radio files to flash on the Charge yet, but the ED2->EE4 zip file linked above does include the radio delta. So you don't need to take the OTA proper.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
I finished the steps in this post

I assume it's safe to flash the peanutbutterjelly kernel.

Also can't I just remove bloat by deleting them from /system/apps?
[Verizon Droid Charge] c0ns0le:
EE4 Update Procedure

confirmed the process. basebands are updated to EE4

btw, sdcard is rw for me. were you possibly thinking about the 'autorun.iso' which is the automount for drivers in the form of the 'Verison' something other cdrom.

not sure about you guys. but stock fresh install EE4 seemed quite a bit more responsive than stock freshinstall ed1. i was fortunate when i got mine i caught the vzw rep before he hit 'install update'.

nother questions. do you guys typically go through the gapps setup and the vzw setup or to do you just hit home as soon as possible to skip all that crap then change your lcd density, setup your wifi really quick etc...
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Edit... misread your post, we're on same page. My bad.

Are you sure?

I unzipped the update package and didn't DDS full radio image. I did see patch file to the LTE- image and modem delta.

Nothing flashable in Odin in there. You might be able to modify the zip to only do the radio patches...
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
yeah to repeat myself there is no way to flash the radio as of now , imnuts may have an idea.....

anyway on another note. anyone with EE4 and a voodoo kernel can you please mount the system and tell me if your filesystem converted,,,or even go into clockwork and check there?

i can not get my filesystem to convert for the life of me
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
This does look promising, hopefully someone will come up with a way to flash the radio and still be able to do the voodoo RFS to EXT4
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
EE4 here and Voodoo Control says "Ext4 lagfix active"

Edit: If you have a problem with apps force closing go to settings>applications>manage applications>all Pick the problem app and press Clear data
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
And your quadrant scores are still good?
[Verizon Droid Charge] cshorter:
"Dude it's literally like 6 posts above your post."

I read the thread, but that was easy enough to miss. I was looking for a list, not a link. My bad.
[Verizon Droid Charge] siphyn:
Has anyone found a fix for the sdcard write protecting itself when you use a custom kernel with the update? Or is there anyone that is able to write to their sdcard with a custom kernel and the update? If so which kernel are you using and what OS are you using ie: OSX, Linux, windows etc...?

Beamed from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
I get to step 6 and it give an error E:failed to open /mnt/sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) E:signature verification failed install aborted.

Nevermind

Need to rename file to 'update' NOT 'update.zip'
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
Did I miss something? I followed the same steps and downgraded to ED1. But as soon as I booted up I was prompted to update straight to EE4. It booted up again and now I'm on build number SCH-I510.EE4.

My basebands are i510.06 V.EE4 and SCH-I510.EE1
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
^ You were one of the lucky few selected for the update.

Still no go on skype or netflix :C

My sd is working fine I'm using Peanutbutterjelly kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
I am not in the group selected to receive EE4 as an OTA yet.

I used the full ODIN files here, and now have EE4 Deodex w/ CWM + Voodoo. However, I did not get the new baseband, so I am hoping for a flashable radio soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
I didn't recieve the prompt for the ota either so i did it manually with the instructions posted by wynalazca, and then used odin to flash deodexed, cwm, voodoo.

lagfix works, having the already reported issue of write protected sd card, also it mounts as a cd rom drive??

have new basebands and all, running great so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
Cool thanks! I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything by skipping over the ED2 update. It's been a stressful day for me in the Android world
[Verizon Droid Charge] neocharles:
Any roms yet for EE4?
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
Scored 900 something with EE4 unrooted, and 1500 with Voodoo Lagfix rooted.

Everything is running great except for the inability to access the sdcard through the phone, but I can deal with that for the time being
[Verizon Droid Charge] jdog_12345:
Looks like SD card issue has been patched! Kejar to the rescue!
[Verizon Droid Charge] stranula:
You are correct, installed and now have usb storage working again, so now I'm having no EE4 issues at the moment.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
I am currently running Debloated ED2 v4, with lagfix enabled.

If I:

Disable LagFix

Load DroidXcon's "Third Package" (above, in first post) via Odin

Install Kejar's SD Card patch

Will I then be at EE4, rooted, and have the proper baseband radio version?

Thanks,

¿GJ?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
No. The ODIN packages above will not update the baseband to EE4. Here's is what I did:

Download the patch mentioned in Post 4 (I think post 4)

Disable Lagfix

Flash first EE4 file (100% stock everything, patch fails if not stock odex)

After reboot, recovery will load. Flash the update.zip you downloaded earlier.

Let the phone boot up, and verify the baseband changed

Delete Lagfix file

ODIN back to EE4 + CWM + Voodoo

Allow Voodoo to work it's magic

???

Profit
[Verizon Droid Charge] theramblervison:
ok guys I have a question. I have something broke and needs a fixin. I went from stock ED2 and downloaded the EE4 update, flashed the update and was on Stock EE4. Ok then I downloaded the 3rd pkg in the op and flashed through ODIN. Ok all seems good cause I hear ol robot girl converting files to ext4. Here lies the problem though, even though I am running voodoo and can tell by voodoo control and I am rooted, but my CWR is yellow and broke as hell. I thought voodoo was red recovery? Plus when I try and flash anything through ROM manager it resets and you see Andy where it is doing the update to go into recovery but fails and I have to pull the battery. Once I put battery back in it goes to the yellow recovery. PLEASE HELP TO GET WORKING RECOVERY. thx......JZ
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
It has been stated time and time again in multiple posts and threads...

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER WITH THE CHARGE AND THESE MODDED ROM"S AND KERNALS!!

Just pointing that out. I'm sure someone can help with a fix. I believe there is one on this board about fixing your charge after cwm fails, or something like that.

Good luck.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Can someone wiser than me confirm for me?

I show:

Baseband version:

i510.06 V.EE4

SCH-I510.EE1

Build Number:

SCH-I510.EE4

I still have root, and I just used the SD card write fix and it's working. So I am fully updated right?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
OK, so I got myself up and running on EE4 w/ the updated baseband. However, once I went through my old list and yanked the bloat, I got thrown into a bootloop. Can someone who has debloated EE4 weigh in on what I removed?

As of last night, after EE4 ODIN, but before the baseband update, all of these were removed safely and did not cause anything but a few FC's until I rebooted. Except for Settings and SettingsProvider, which I never removed until this morning. Do you think that could cause the loop?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
The new recovery, which includes a functioning Back option, is yellow. If you tried using ROM Manager and it failed, you may need to ODIN all the way back to ED1 if you cannot get the phone to boot after flashing the 3rd file again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] theramblervison:
So thx for getting back to me, soooooo the only way to get into recovery is to do the three button method from being powered off? My CWM will flash zips correctly, i just thought something was messed up cause I can't get into it from the phone being powered on. I just never experienced not being able to go into CWR from being powered on my D1, Fasacinate and now Thunderbolt is my main phone and I thought I'd see if I could get the Charge up and running cause I luv the screen and size.
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
I beleive you are correct about settings and settings provider. I have been put in a bootloop in the past after removing these so i do not bother removing them any more. Usually any thing to do with settings I leave becuase I have never had any good experiences removing them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] das7771:
If your phone is connceted to your comp you can also get into the recovery menu by using adb and entering the command "adb reboot recovery", just with out the quotes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
I'm not sure if i have the sd problem or not. How do I test for it? I've already moved files around in ES Explorer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
Yep, most definitely.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
If you can move files around on your SD card, you're fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Can you put files on it from your pc? That's what I couldn't do before flashing the fix.
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
I can't move files from PC to SD or from SD to PC. But can move them in root explorer.

Will be applying the patch this evening.

Sent from my Voodoo Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Then flash the fix.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
So, I tried this but had no luck. I was coming from ED2 debloated... I disabled lagfix, flashed ED1 (rooted from the sticky in the forum), however I am unable to install the OTA ED2, it stops halfway, I get an exclamation point in a triangle next to a little android guy, when it restarts it is still on ED1. Any ideas. Do I need to use any of the files listed in the OP. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
So you reverted all the way to Stock Rooted ED1 which installed fine, then you tried to install ED2 OTA? If so was this by using the automatic update that is pushed OTA or did you manually install it via CWM (the file is here on XDA). I would go back to Stock Rooted ED1 and manually flash the ED2 update and then proceed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ¿GotJazz?:
Thanks, NotATreoFan!

Please forgive my ignorance, but the first file (EE4stock_DXC.tar.rar) is a RAR file, which then seems to contain a EE4stock_DXC.tar.md5 file. What am I supposed to do with this package? I don't think it goes into CWM as is, does it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Flash ED1

Boot

Flash EE4 (#1 from this thread)

Boot

Power down and come back up in Recovery

Flash update.zip containing the EE4 baseband

Boot (and verify new baseband)

Flash EE4 deodex + CWM + Voodoo (#3 from this thread)

???

Profit
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Settings.apk was it. Thanks for reassuring me, as I was not in the mood to ODIN again.

It is compressed in RAR format to shrink the download size. Extract is and flash the .tar.md5 inside.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
I tried with the automatic pushed OTA. no luck.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RaptorMD:
You use Odin to flash that file onto the Charge when it is in download mode. Pull the battery, open Odin, plug usb cable in then press and hold Vol. Down and Power until you see the yellow screen saying download mode. Use PDA button in Odin to locate that .md5 file and click start.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I get 4G less often now with this update. Fail. Some places where I used to get full blown 4G with max bars don't even have 4G at all now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
I've had the opposite experience, better bars for both 4G and 3G across the board. Loving it here in Minneapolis!
[Verizon Droid Charge] jadsru1:
Awesome. thanks. This worked flawlessly. Except, I had to re-enable lagfix before flashing EE4 deodex. Can I now use CWM to flash the other roms on here. thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
Check each ROM thread, as some are CWM and others are ODIN. Regardless of how you flash, do not attempt any backups or restores using CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] uefcommad:
when i disable lagfix it wont mount the system cache. so i cant do anything. any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Charge] LANAtron:
Couple Issues

I followed all the steps to get EE4 and re-installed the EE4 voodoo kernel and everything installed correctly.

However I have two issues:

1- When I boot in to recovery and try to enable the lag fix, it always shows:

enable lagfix (defualt)

/system lagfix on (default)

Actually: disabled

next boot: disabled

Regardless of how many time I try to enable it.

I've confirmed I have SU.

2 - Did anybody lose Gmail during the process? When I open I get:

The application Gmail (process.com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close

Ok, once I installed Gummy Charge 1.5 (came from 1.0 pre EE4), Gmail works again.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
go on your sdcard and look in the voodoo folder there is probably a file inside called disable lagfix....delete that file
[Verizon Droid Charge] brian1972ct:
I've been scratching my head on this ALL day, THANK YOU!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] LANAtron:
DroidXCon to the rescue again. Much much thanks!

Interesting note:

After removing the disable lagfix file I enabled the lagfix. It still showed as not enabled on the next boot.

I rebooted and Ms. Voodoo started talking to me and eventually told me she was complete so I know it's enabled.

However, whenever I go back to clockwork it always shows it as currently disabled and disabled at next boot....just an FYI.

My quadrant score went up to 1524 after lagfix. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
do me a favor reboot into recovery and check it again
[Verizon Droid Charge] evercleardoc:
How do you know which line is the radio version?

I have the Baseband version as:

i510.06 V.EE4

SCH-I510.EE1

and build number is SCH-I510.EE4

I did not wait for the OTA update so I may just reflash back to ED2 and wait but I definitely notice that it is much faster after doing the EE4 update and lagfix versus the ED1 and lagfix update.

Quadrant is 1494 now!
[Verizon Droid Charge] LANAtron:
Checked Again

I just went in to CWM and it's the same even though I know it's enabled:

enable lagfix (default)

/system lagfix on (default)

lagfix is actually: disabled

next boot: disabled
[Verizon Droid Charge] brian1972ct:
Mine is doing the EXACT same thing (I got Ms. Voodoo as well), still showing disabled at next boot, and I rebooted into recovery 3 times, same result each time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bunklung:
I would just like to add my own experience. EE4 seems LESS laggy than Voodoo lag fix on ED2. The browser is really smooth. Much smoother than Voodoo lag fix.

Also, I had to install CWR, because the SD card is locked in read only state after EE4/JT Kernel.

note: prior to flashing EE4, I was using stock recovery with ED2, voodoo lag fix on, and rooted Kernel by JT.

Here are my instructions:

1) I disabled the lagfix (create a folder called 'disable-lagfix' in /sdcard/Voodoo)

2) rebooted the phone to disable the voodoo lagfix

3) ran the stock rooted ED1 ODIN file (which wynalazca created :))

4) took the OTA ED2 update and lost root (this took a minute to show up in the update screen)

5) downloaded the EE4 update file (http://goo.gl/XTDA9) and renamed it 'update.zip' and put it on my sdcard

6) booted into STOCK recovery (vol up + home + power, release power when you see Samsung logo) and applied update.zip and then let it boot

7) flashed JTs rooted voodoo kernel and his CWM in ODIN (I did not delete the disable-lagfix folder, since I felt the phone was snappy)

8) download the sdcard fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118111 and rename the file to update.zip

9) place update.zip in the adb platforms tools directory, where the adb command exits.

10) with USB mass storage off, I used ADB shell to delete update.zip from /sdcard

adb shell

cd sdcard

rm update.zip

exit

adb push update.zip /sdcard

adb reboot recovery

11) CWR should run and now you use the menu to apply update.zip.

NOTE: I didn't wipe at all during this process.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
I just did the above process with one exception.

I was on AB 4.1.1 with voodoo enabled and PBJT.

I got the EE4 update available message this morning.

I disabled voodoo, and then flashed back to stock rooted ed1.

When I booted, I was in fact at stcok rooted ed1.

The EE4 update was showing, so I let it update.

It went fine and I'm now on EE4. No root.

My question is, I was never offered ED2 update. Does going with EE4 include ED2?

Or do I have to flash ED2 still?

Oh, new radio and baseband:

i510.06 V.EE4

SCH-i510.EE1

Build number: SCH-i510.EE4

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
*BUMP*

Any ideas guys???
[Verizon Droid Charge] bunklung:
From your previous message...

You are on EE4.

You do not have to flash ED2.

*IF* you want root back, you will have to flash a Kernel that has root, like JTs.

Also, you will have to patch your system because the SD card will be in a read only state.

I personally don't see the need to use Voodoo lag fix if you use JTs kernel and EE4, because EE4 fixed the lag. (my two cents)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14623884&postcount=79
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
Thanks for the reply. I did get root back. All is well. Just wasn't sure if I needed ed2. I didn't know what it included.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Charge] bweN diorD:
i just flashed #3 from the op using xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14147928&postcount=3

as a guide on stock ee4 and it worked flawlessly.

thanks to the op, developer, and guide author.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zerosignal0:
So I figured I would post this since I know I had this question previously and didn't see any direct way of getting what I needed without doing a bit of work. Here is a upload of ALL the app .apks from EE4 so that you can take the debloated image and restore whatever you would like.

[Verizon Droid Charge] hogowner:
I am going to use ODIN to root my charge which I picked up today. I know in the instructions is says to uncheck the auto reboot box.....I see that the box next to the auto reboot box is f. Reset Time and it is cheeked. Do I leave the f. Reset time box checked or unchecked during the rooting process?

Thanks alot!

Sent from m y ADR6400L using XDA App
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
You can leave that checked.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Please explain this to me because it does not make sense to me. Are you saying you dont need to use Voodoo lag fix if you use JTs Voodoo kernel? because this makes no sense to me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chadness:
I think what he's saying is you can use the kernel, but leave the lagfix disabled, and he still has good speeds. Others seem to still get improvements, which make sense, since even EE4 has the worse filesystem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidXcon:
Leaving lagfix disabled will cause problems in most cases so if you are going to use a custom kernel that is nonvoodoo use imnuts PB&J nonvoodoo kernel
[Verizon Droid Charge] bunklung:
Like what problems?
[Verizon Droid Charge] distortedloop:
Thanks for all your contributions here, btw.

Not challenging you at all, but I'm curious what problems might be caused.

I could see someone wanting voodoo kernel just for the sound and screen tweaks (if they're included) without wanting to mess with the filesystem conversion (but why anyone would want to stay on RFS is beyond me). Anyways, @supercurio from day one designed voodoo to be safe (even though an early i9000 beta hosed my phone, LOL), so I'm surprised to hear there might be problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bunklung:
Because EE4 is snappy for ME. Faster than ED2 Voodoo lagfix. I'm not going to argue perceptions, so to each his own.

I'm not going to argue with the quadrant scores. They are higher on lagfix, but they are just numbers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
Droidxcon, If I used the http://www.androphiles.com/files/and...ck_DXC.tar.rar

Does that mean I'm in ee4 stock and if for any reason something goes wrong with my. phone can I return it like that?

I'm a newbie and tried to look at all the answers here but did not see for above question.

My phone gets a quick whitish light once in a while when it comes out of sleep mode. I think it has to do with a short circuit or battery issue. It was like that when I bought and they told me to hold on to it till 14 days are up. It went away but now it has come back, lol, it figures after the 14 day period. Thank you for all your work.

I am not rooted because I get the blue letters when I press the 3 button method. I get these results:

[Verizon Droid Charge] ChadZ:
For first package, all I have to do is simply flash it via ODIN, that's it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] blahdc:
I am having the exact same problem. Anyone know how to tell if voodoo is enabled?

Another thing that bothers me is that Lets Golf 2 keeps downloading and installing itself after I reboot. There are no files in the /preinstall folder either. I'm lost....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mig1234:
When you are in recovery go to Voodoo and click on it. Look at the botton and it will tell you if its disabled. Look in Market for Voodoo apps. There is one that lets you change it from there, forgot the name of it. Good luck!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Help with Baseband revision?

So I found this thread after noticing that my Gummycharged 1.5 with PBJT kernel has the old ED1 baseband version. I guess I should have performed the OTA updates when I had the chance?

Does anybody know the steps to get the latest baseband version? Can I wait until a flashable radio firmware and use Odin so I don't have to reflash/ install all my apps again, etc.?
