Sorry for not posting this in the QA thread guys, but the ROMs on the Epic are so varying w/ Journaling, Ext4, CWM, CWM (ACS) etc, that I need to know if anything specific was being done wrong with this ROM (by me, not the Chef) in trying to recover. To all those who helped, I ran out of "Thanks," for today, but I'll get you. As for pressing the camera flash...I hope someday someone you love DOESN'T break down on an interstate only to have people flying by them as they struggle with trying to change a tire, or in using a pair of pantyhose as a temporary belt. Or you know, a Surgeon doesn't tell you to "search for reasons not to hurt yourself," before entering his OR like a Noob......

I got the situation under control, I jumped the battery off an ICD and the juice woke the Epic up.

Good luck with 1.3 and CM7, there are super clean themes floating around for that T-MO theme engine...thanks again and MODS, feel free to delete my putrid musings. :eek: :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Not the flash. Looking at the back of the phone, you remove the back. At the 7 o'clock position from the camera lens is a small divit looking button.. there was a thread early on the reported it was a reset..
[Epic 4G Android Development] bcparker:
when will ACS forums be back up? I'm getting an error trying to access anything. Its frustrating that the day I finally decide to flash some goodness, ACS is down.
[Epic 4G Android Development] abowlby:
My apologies Grommish, I'm the asshead here. Thank you for trying to help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lancelane:
There is no reset button. That was Mystery or somebody thinking there was but there wasnt. It is now a fable on here.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
I ****ed up.. lol

Hey, I just odined to EC05 and then using clockworkmod v3.1.0.1 i flashed this standard rom.. Wiped everything 3 times before hand... When I go to boot back up I just get the SAMSUNG screen... Nothing else... Stays there for 30 mins or longer if I let it.. Only way to do anything is to take batt. out... Any ideas on what to do?? Any help would be great.. Thanks...
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I would start by flashing a kernel since the ROM doesn't include one. Genocide is an always popular choice, along with Twilight. I haven't tried nubernal yet, but hope to this weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
For the bazillionth time, this ROM does not include a kernel and will need to be flashed immediately after flashing the ROM. Visionkernel, Twilight Zone, etc will work just fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rbrthrly90:
Sorry but how do I get a kernel onto my phone now that I did this???
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
Place your kernel of choice's .zip file on your SD card just the way you did the ROM. Boot into CWM and flash it.

Well, since you can't boot up the phone that would be difficult. Odin back to stock EC05 and then put the kernel on the SD card. Flash the ROM and then flash the kernel (without rebooting in between) and you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rogue2204:
I'm in the same boat, finally decided to jump to 1.2 and then the site is down. Just my luck haha. :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G Android Development] caileb:
Is it normal for Live Wallpapers to really slow the phone down?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
I posted a couple pages back about 1.3 Flyers told me that it was in its testing stages and just needed some final things added here n there. We shouldn't be complaining too much, even more so now that GB is right around the corner. 1.3 will be released soon and we'll be able to enjoy that until our Devs can cook up some stable (and yummy) GB ROMs for us. Remember that the first couple Custom GB ROM's (like all first custom ROMs) will have some issues that will be worked on and fixed over time, time we can kill will a stable/kickass/Epic SRF 1.3

hey guys. i installed the rom with genocide kernel.everything works great except that i cannot connect to wifi. it gets stuck at aquring ip and disconnects. help me plz thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Or voodoo, divination, rain dances and snake oil... those work just as well as the "button"

1. He wasn't referring to the camera flash, you would have to remove the back cover to see what he was referring to - but that was disproven, so no worries (not that it would harm anything - the spot he referred to is solid plastic)

2. Your analogy with the surgeon is way off, because this site is a forum, not a service or repair center.

A more appropriate analogy would be a librarian telling you that you need to read the books yourself instead of asking her to read them to you (and what's wrong with that?)

Try resetting your wireless router and modem.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Boot into cwm while your phone is connected to your PC, then mount your SD card thru the cwm menue. That should allow you to put the kernel onto the card from your PC even tho you can not boot the phone. Flash the kernel.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Or just put the sdcard in your computer, via usb adapter if you don't have a built in SD reader...

Similar thing happened to me. Permissions were messed up for dhcpd, or whtever this rom uses for dhcp.

Download the android sdk and use it to install adb. Run 'adb shell' in your terminal whereever the adb exe is. Once you get the shell prompt, do an 'su' and run 'logcat'. Try to connect over wifi and watch for the java exceptions, like permission denied. Once you find the files, check their perms with 'ls -l', and change them with either chmod or chown. Google can answer all further questions ;)

So for the past few days I am getting Google Services Framework has stopped unexpectedly. I have rebooted, cleared data, fixed permissions in CWM. I do have Journaling on. Any thoughts before I reflash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bear Knuckles:
Hey fellas,

I am having an issue. Something happened and my phone froze. It would not turn off, so I had to do a battery pull. This caused everything to "stop unexpectedly." I decided to rewipe everything and start over with a new flash of the rom + kernel. And, this time I decided to also flash journaling on.

The rom works fine in every way, except when someone calls me I get an operator asking me if I want to accept the call. It then tells me I have to press 1 in order to accept a call.

This. Is. So. Weird.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Sounds like a Google Voice issue. Login into your Gvoice account and turn off call screening.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianFX:
Just started suffering from the same problem. Running Syn 1.2 rock solid for months. Started randomly getting crashes galore (especially USB file transfer freezes). Finally got to the point where I couldn't USB transfer at all.

Wiped data/cache, no effect. Formatted SD card, no effect. ODIN'd EC05, CWM'd, reinstalled Syn 1.2, I can't even boot to the ACS splash screen.

On first wipe, I also got the message "make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". This seems to portend the doom of the SD card..
[Epic 4G Android Development] andsamp:
Have been away from the forums for a couple of months.... So is srf 1.2 still thbe best one out there or is there something else that is better? Thanks for the great rock stable roms.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
it still ROCKS !
[Epic 4G Android Development] glen_e:
Try using a clean, dry cloth to wipe off the contacts on the SD card and clean the contacts on the phone's slot with canned air as well. Format the SD card with your computer before copying files.

For some reason, CWM 3.1.0.1 would not flash SRF 1.2 no matter how hard I tried, because wiping would result in the exact same error you are having. Strangely, when I selected "reboot recovery" in CWM 3.1.0.1's menu, it somehow booted into 3.0.2.5. So I then wiped three times in 3.0.2.5 (no errors) and flashed SRF 1.2 and Twilight Zone successfully. Subsequent boots into recovery continued to display 3.1.0.1. This is all after using the "purple upgrade" method. Give it a shot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BrianFX:
Is there something special about 3.0.2.5? I can't utilize it since I installed 3.1.0.1 straight after ODIN of EC05, but I could track down 3.0.2.5 and install that instead after a fresh ODIN.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MakeMoves:
So what kirnel(s) do i need to run to get rid of the su binary update message?

Or what is the best one with this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I'm on tz-111-k0-signed (Twilight Zone) which is working great and got rid of the message
[Epic 4G Android Development] LordFuzzy024:
You can't get rid of really. Not until they update the ROMs to install SU in a different directory. The best way is just turn off the notification for now. Open up SuperUser, Click Menu then Preferences, scroll to the bottom and uncheck the "Outdated binary Notification" option, Back out and all is complete. Now you wont get that notification anymore.

Please help!

Hey guys i love this rom i first got SFR 1.1.1 and had it running just fine for a couple of months. the best ever! but one day the phone just started force closing everything messaging dialer google processes and a bunch of errors

I booted into clockwork and tried to reflash the rom and it wouldn't work at all. I even wiped everything (painfully) 3 times and tried to flash 1.1.1 again and it wouldn't work it would get stuck and i would have to pull battery. so i got 1.2 and the genocide kernel and it finally flashed over good and no problems for like a month. today the phone started force closing everything again i reflashed genocide 2.0 kernel and that helped a bit but not much it still force closes the error message says: the application google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly etc. this happens

everytime i get a call or make a call and randomly along with other random force closes.

any ideas? please help!

I have clockwork mod 3.1.0.1 (purple) and EE03 Modem, genocide 2.0 kernel
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ceelos09:
Have u tried a fresh install with Odin? Odin back to stock EC05 and re-root and flash SRF 1.1 (or 1.2, ur choice) with Genocide and see if that helps. I found that starting with a fresh install of EC05 clears up most errors
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
I had the same problem a long time ago. You just need to go into CWM and clear the cache.

If you dont want to or can't, just clear the cache for

Applications>[All]TAB>Google Services Framework

. Reboot and see what happens.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Or flash JournalingOn zip

Sent from my Samsung Legendary 4G, a Universe UTES Phone, running "two. two"
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
But if data is already potentially corrupted, this wouldn't do a whole lot, right? I only ask because if I didn't know any better and it appeared as though my two options were to either flash this zip or to clear data in my google apps, I would certainly choose the zip file.

If he doesn't know any better, might it not be better to say, "what he said, then flash the jounalingon.zip file so it won't happen again."
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Flashing journalingon is a preventative method for data corruption. If the data is already corrupted, you are correct, it will do you no good.

And don't worry, I had suggested you clear the cache, not data. Besides, clearing data would just mean you'd need to enter your username and pw again. Everything in the google apps would automatically sync back to normal thanks to Google's genius...

And to answer your latter question, yes. lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] dwyw42:
I don't know if this is a SFR issue, but I started noticing it first when I switched to SFR awhile back: under certain conditions (I'm guessing high memory usage) the stock browser does not load most of the images on the page and/or shows corrupt versions of the images.

Due to this issue, I decided to try out Miren browser, but that led to another problem (which may be a miren issue): if I have multiple tabs open and switch to another app, about 70% of the time when I come back to miren all tabs but the one with focus have lost the pages I was on and switching to them shows an all black screen with just the tab bar (not even address bar).

Both of these issues were present with "stock" SFR1.2 and remain present after using the v6 supercharger script. Any ideas? Are either of these known issues?

Edit: I just remembered one other issue that just started happening a few weeks ago. Whenever I click a link to a youtube video, it always opens in the browser. It used to open the youtube app but I can't even figure out how to get the prompt back. I've tried clearing app defaults for both the stock browser and miren, but no go. And when I go to youtube in manage apps, the clear defaults button is already grayed out.

Recently Flashed SRF 1.2 from scratch. Have not done any modifications to ROM other than flashing Rodd's 2.0 Geno Kernel (updated with new su).

I am consistently getting "camera failed" message when launching camera. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I got a weird bug.

Been running this ROM for a while now. This just started tonight.

Internet runs fine in browser. Internet not working in anything else. Market. Apps. Gmail. etc. For example, when the market loads, the 3g symbol turns blue, but I get "No connection [retry]"

EDIT:Also, I have a 2 CWM backups. An older one and a recent one from today. The older one doesn't have this issue. The newer one does. Tried restoring both.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
I've had that happen. To fix it, turn the phone off, wait til it's all the way off, take the battery out for 30 seconds or so, put battery back in, turn phone back on, and you should be good.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I gave that a try 3 times. it didn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBTY:
Hey sorry for the delay but heres the deal before i did anything i cleared cahe and dalvik cache rebooted and nothing did that again and reflashed the rom and kernal on top and i still had the same problem the only way i can fix it is with a nuke wipe 3x data wipe 3x cach 3x dalvik reflashed the rom and it worked perfectly.

i have no idea why this happens but here are some factors that might have some influence or maybe not When i had sfr 1.1.1 i had no problems i started messing with custom fonts and boot animations and about 3 months later i had the problem so i flashed sfr 1.2 worked fine so i used romtoolbox form the market to change my fonts and boot animation overclock etc and about a week later i had the force close issue. also i have the EE03 modem does that have anything to do with it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jered6323:
Well darn. Have you tried updating the data profile? I've never had to do it for my Epic, but I have done it for a few friends with HTC's to fix their internet problems.

To update go to Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates -> Update Profile

Let it run through it's process, then see if things are working right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kireol:
I restored my "working" older CWM backup. Then reinstalled the last backup I did yesterday and it's working again. Very weird. If it happens again, I'll try what you just said and report back.

Could someone help me out with a working link of ACS Recovery 1.0.0.5

[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
So since EI22 is coming out starting today, OTA, is it going to push to SRF1.2, or will I need to go back to stock in order to do the update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I don't think it will "push" to any custom ROM. I think you need to go to stock if you want the stock OTA update. Or wait until there are some custome ROMs with it. If anyone would like to confirm this.... please do.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
First off I'm loving the rom.. Its the first time I've used an ACS rom but I have always seen the devs pretty active ever since I rooted my Epic. So thank you for your hard work.

I do have an issue/ question.. I came from Midnight 5.3 with the Kernel Bonsai 4.0.1. I followed all directions when flashing and everything works fine but my rooted apps either say the kernel isn't supported or my phone isn't rooted. Am I on the wrong kernel? Everything else backed up and restored fine.. What kernel is reccomended? Thanks for any help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I believe you will find Genocide, VisionKernel and TwilightZone Kernels used. Some people find that one over the other works best for them. I use TwilightZone (tz-111-k0-signed.zip)

I'm guessing that SRF 1.2 is incompatible with Gingerbread 2.3.5, and that we will have to wait for SRF 1.3? If that's the case, I can wait. I don't want to run a stock ROM.

OTA update

just fyi, I got the OTA update (holding off) but it does push to other ROMs besides stock. I read that Sprint is only doing like 3% per day for roll outs to avoid boxing their servers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Yup, you may get the notice, but it won't install (it will fail) if you're rooted. I believe with CWM, it deletes the Asphalt5 demo apk and this is one of the things the update looks for. So if you get notified and try to install it, it will fail unless you're 100% stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] celsius0010:
Thanks PJJohn73 It looks from what I can tell that Twillight was the kernel this rom was intended for so I would prefer to use that one.. But I can't find v1.1.1 the links don't work.. Any ideas?? I downloaded genocide but haven't flashed it yet.. I think this will tide me over fine until the GB roms start crankin out..

You are better off removing the attachment and PM'ing k0nane. Last communication I had with him, he said to not direct link/attach the kernel. He wanted the lead developer for the kernel to be the one to publish it on XDA, at the time of me asking him.

Trust me.. You get rid of everything you had, you will only end up installing a third of what you previously had. I install all kinds of stuff all the time just to see what cool new thing my Epic can do if I reinstalled everything everytime I flashed a new ROM I would loose that new phone feeling. :-)
