I"m new so kindness please. Just upgraded to SRF 1.2 and want to try the Twilight Zone Kernel .... Does 1.2 come with a kernel and if so, which one?

Last question: If I want to try out new kernels with SRF 1.2, do I just flash with CWM? Will I lose data and have to go through that whole aching process of getting everything back?

Is there a list of kernels for use with 1.2 that I can get --- like to overclock and undervolt if possible?!?!?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
No, 1.2 does not come with a kernel, you need to flash one after flashing the ROM through CWM. You can change kernels at any point in time, simply by flashing them through CWM as well. No, you don't lose any data unless you 'wipe data/factory reset' your phone before or after flashing a kernel.

A common list of the kernels people use are Twilight, Genocide, and the ReVolt kernel as well. Some use Vision Kernel, but not as frequently as the others.

I've found Genocide to be the most common of the bunch, but I believe ReVolt was based of Genocide.

Hello kind sirs.

No stranger to ROMs and the like, but I decided to start with a fresh 1.2 & I'm having a few problems.

I odined this file:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021305&highlight=ec05

If you scroll down towards the middle of the OP:

"Slightly Modded EXT4 EC05 Tar Prerooted Deodexed Zipaligned Png Optimized "

And then flashed SRF 1.2. I thought all went well, but when I reboot into recovery from QuickBoot, I get the ancient stock blue recovery, also Voltage Control says I have a bad kernel?

I haven't Odined much of anything since the beginning part of the year, good link for an EC05 Odin that I can start with...one that shouldn't require any patches along the way would be nice. Just trying to get a fresh 1.2 rollin'

VielenDanke
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
SRF 1.2 doesn't include a kernel, so it's still using the stock one and that's why voltage control isn't working.

There are two different recovery pieces, one is accessed through the three finger method (the only one I use) and the other from quick boot. Long story short, don't go into CWM from quick boot. Just shut it down and go in from there and you'll have purple back.

Might as well head there now and flash a new kernel while you're at it. Then VC will work. I would suggest either Genocide or Twilight for the SRF ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slow5Ohh:
Odin stock EC05, root with CWM 3.1.0.1. From CWM, wipe everything 3x and flash SRF 1.2, followed immediately by, for one example, Genocide 2.0. I recommend flashing journaling on zip after as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bear Knuckles:
Thanks for the fix. But before I do this, would you mind explaining to me why I got those errors and how this will fix it? I am not questioning you at all, but I want to try to be less of a noob with my phone and roms in general. So, it would help my understanding.

Thank you sir.

SRF 2.0?

Due to recent developments & releases with GB are we skipping 1.3 and going directly to 2.0? :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] xTMFxOffshore:
Interesting. There is a 2.0 coming out?

When will 2.0 be release and do you need any testers?????
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
Read the guys post carefully, he is not making a statement, he is asking a question. As of yet there has been no word.

Engage slippyfist!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Without journaling enabled, an improper shutdown of the phone (running out of battery, pulling the battery, basically anything outside choosing 'Power Off' from the menu and actually waiting for it to vibrate so you know it's really off) can cause data corruption. Some ROMs, this one included, will have journaling off by default as it causes a slight increase in speed. However, there is a bit of risk involved.

I would suggest using the DataOnlyJournaling zip file, as it only turns journaling on for the data portion, not all of it. Kind of like the best of both worlds.

Right, this was a question and not a statement as it's written. However, the GB ROM probably won't be called Frozen anything. I believe Frozen was chosen because of Froyo. I'm guessing the next ROM built off GB will be 'Syndicate ROM Gxxxxxxxx' for Gingerbread. It won't be 2.0 anything, as since it is a new OS, it will probably be version 1.0.

I'm not part of the ACS team, but based on previous posts they've made, and software development, this is how I would assume it would work.

Syndicate Problem

Evertime i try & flash srf-1.2-final.zip this appears:

E: Cant open /sdcard/srf-1.2-final.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

What Am I﻿ Doing Wrong?

i formatted my sd card & everything.

Then i used ODIN to restart my phone to the brink, redownloaded syndicate & rooted etc, but nothing happens.

This also happens when i try to install Kernels such as genocide.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
What sd card are you using. You may have corrupt downloads. Have you tried using a different sd card? If that doesn't work re download files.

[Epic 4G Android Development] PhreshGunz:
Maybe the files are corrupt because i redownloaded over 3 times today & the same thing occurs.

Im using the original sd that came with my phone which is almost 16gb

Idk what to do. I Think the download links are corrupted but i can be wrong.

Have you tried downloading it to a pc and then transfer the file to sd? I have had a few issues in the past trying to download roms direct on my phone over 3g. If its on my home wifi there is never an issue.

Are you using the purple cwm?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
I beg to differ. I was able to repeat the steps countless times as it's still my main method.

Odin to stock EC05 RFS

Root

Shutdown

Boot into recovery

Flash new CWM (or odin it, I've done both)

Reboot recovery

Wipe, wipe, wipe

Flash SRF 1.2

Reboot

( if ---stuck at samsung--- Pull Battery, boot into recovery wipe and reflash srf)

Enjoy

Didn't even have to flash an ext4 kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Why boot, freeze, pull battery?

After flashing rom, flash desired kernel before booting.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
That's just it... I didn't have to flash a kernel. It just works! :D

The freeze/pull battery is only IF it actually freezes at the Samsung Logo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
You know that's it I always get stuck at sammy logo if I flash 1.2 first never just reflashed 1.2 I would flash 1.1 then boot then power off then flash 1.2 but thanks for the clarification
[Epic 4G Android Development] PhreshGunz:
OKAY! So In A Few Minutes I'm Gonna Try This Out.

This Will prob be my last time because this is getting stressful.

If I follow all your steps I should be good, correct?

And how can I flash cwm in ODIN?

Also, can I jut fash the srf in ODIN as well?

In addition, can you link me to the RFS EC05?

I wanna do it this time and come out SUCCESSFUL :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Wrong. Your method will work, but only because 1.1 includes a kernel and rfs-to-ext4 conversion, while 1.2 does not. There are several other ways to accomplish this, so your assertion is unfounded.

You can also start from a full wipe, flash rfs2ext4 if necessary (a full wipe won't convert your filesystem at all), install 1.2 (from stock, gingerbread, cyanogenmod, a hacked version of DOS if one existed... the point is, what you had before is irrelevant), then flash a kernel (Twilight or Genocide are the main options, any EC05 kernel that supports EXT4 will do)

I flashed back to SRF 1.2 from CyanogenMod (rfs only) just the other night for an emergency tethering issue, and was up and running in under 10 minutes.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yes, you should be good. The way my Epic does some things is a bit unconventional, but I have yet to see anyone object to my method so it must work for other people. Because not every Epic is the same though, if you have problems with freezing at the Sammy logo, your Epic wants a kernel so you may need to flash your desired one right after flashing SRF. I've been using Twilight Zone since the beginning and have yet to have an issue to date. But there are alot of more popular ones that receive excellent feedback as well.

Download CWM Directly from this link from DRockstar's CWM thread and insert into the PDA slot. Read his guide if you're having trouble.

RFS EC05: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904

This version even includes CWM 3.1.0.1.

To my knowledge, and unless I skipped something in the OP, there is no ODIN'able SRF1.2 out. You'll have to flash it via recovery.

I hear ACS recovery has a lot of advantages over CWM. But sometimes it has issues when flashing roms that aren't ACS builds, or if there is a dev who builds a rom not compatible with it. Many people think it's an ACS recovery issue when it was in fact the dev who did not tell his people it's not compatible with ACS.

Hey guys, I can't find any threads of users running SF1.2 + Twilight, and what their numbers are for over clocking and under volting. I used a mini guide from shaolin which tells you to use stability tester and neocore, but I am curious to see what other users have achieved with this combo. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Heh, i found out what the problem was.

The micro sd that came with my epic (16gz) was messed up, so i used my cuzzin's EVO's micro sd & everything worked perfectly.

In addition, after all this my memory card magically started to work O_O

I Flashed SRF & Genocide via ACS Recovery & Used the ACS Updater.

Thanks for all you guys help it was really appreciated but i do have a couple questions.

Im running genocide 2.0 & SRF 1.2 so i was wondering should i use setcpu to boost to 1.4 ghz or another application.

Also, i downloded music to my phone via PS3, but like i play a song and then it fuses with another song, or it plays some of the song & then skips to the middle of the song O_o

And finally, would it ever be possible to make your own boot ani like a video (Ex: a mini boot ani of me talking)

All answers will be appreciated & thanks again :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
SetCPU has a problem with the governors that often cause an Epic to freeze, especially when undervolting or underclocking below 400. VoltageControl is free and works just as well with no hardware issues. Not to mention it's free.

What music player are you using?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bear Knuckles:

[Epic 4G Android Development] glen_e:
Today, my friend (a Sprint employee) texted me to tell me to turn off the phone and pull the battery to update the profile. Instead, I went into settings and updated the profile and PRL, then shut down and pulled the battery. When I restarted, I got continuous force close loops. SD card is seated fine.

I noticed that since I've had this ROM (and Twilight Zone kernel), the phone vibrates (just a "blip") upon startup and about 30-45 seconds after shutdown. When I pulled the battery, it was before the "blip" and I about smacked myself in the forehead until I remembered that I enabled journaling upon flashing the ROM. However, the phone is still screwed up. I'm about to backup and format the SD card in preparation for a reflash. Is there something else I can do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] PhreshGunz:
I was first using the music player that came with the epic, then when i downloaded steel blue theme i started using the minu music player.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
Did you have the same problem with the stock player? Do you think it's a problem with the music player you're using now? If you think it is, try clearing the app's data and cache in Settings>Applications and see if you're still having the problem. If all else fails, clear the cache in recovery too just to be sure it's not bad cache data from during your transfer.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I get the 'blip' you mention upon startup as well, and I'm using the Revolted kernel. However, the vibration after shutdown is normal, that means the phone is actually off. Most ROMs will go dark as soon as you choose 'power off' but it's not really off until it vibrates. Press the screen after you choose power off and before you feel the vibrate and you'll see the buttons light up. It's not really off quite yet. Once it vibrates, then it's off off ;).
[Epic 4G Android Development] glen_e:
Okay, so I've been trying to flash SRF 1.2 again today. I flashed EC05 with Odin and did the usual procedure, however CWM 3.1.0.1 would not properly flash SRF 1.2 and Twilight Zone. The phone worked fine when it was reverted to stock.

I know it's ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 because I tried two different things: 1) OneClickRoot with CWM 3.1.0.1 (Purple), and 2) OneClickRoot with CWM 3.0.2.5 (Orange) followed by "Purple" upgrade (flashed in CWM).

Every time I would fllash SRF 1.2 followed by the kernel, the phone would show the Samsung logo upon boot then followed by a blank (black) screen with the touch buttons and keyboard lit up (when keyboard was open).

However, while triple wiping data/cache/dalvik in ClockworkMod for another shot, I hit "Reboot Recovery" and it booted into ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5 (this is well after I did the "purple" upgrade). So, while in 3.0.2.5 (Orange), I wiped everything, flashed SRF 1.2 and TZ 1.1.1, and the phone booted without any problems.

I'm very, very confused as to why CWM 3.1.0.1 (Purple) is causing such trouble and reverting to 3.0.2.5 (Orange) after selecting "Reboot Recovery." Whenever I wiped data in 3.1.0.1, I would see the following with each subsequent wipe:

E:/format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

In 3.0.2.5 (Orange), I would not see this during data wipes. The phone now seems to be perfectly fine. I enabled journaling as well and don't plan to disable it.

When the phone screwed up after pulling the battery prematurely (before the "blip"), journaling had previously been enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nikon120:
Try starting over again.

1. Odin stock EC05

2. May as well update Profile & PRL

3. Run the one-click root with CWM 3.1.0.1

4. Boot into CWM

5. Clear data & both caches

6. Flash SRF 1.2 and a Froyo kernel (Journaling.zip optional)

7. Reboot

8. If you're in a boot loop, get back into CWM and reflash just SRF, no wipes needed.

Give that a go and report back.

[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
Did you flash a kernel after flashing the ROM? This ROM doesn't come with a kernel, so that could potentially be your issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] abowlby:
See, I'm having a hard time with that because I can't even boot into Clockwork. Its as if the battery isn't providing juice at all, so when I try jumping with the charger, it loops on that giant battery icon. I even tried going into Dl mode from that screen and it doesn't work. . . I suppose I could odining anyway when I get home. . .
[Epic 4G Android Development] abowlby:
I think this is a real deal brick from hell. I can't even get it to boot and stall out on a splash screen. It's acting as if it is dead. And when I plug it into the wall or PC, the battery charging logo loops..and i can't do anything from there either. Sucks. I have never seen a device do this. :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I don't suppose you have an external battery charger do you? Or maybe someone that has an Epic so you could steal their battery?

I've read people using Odin without the battery in, so maybe the PC provides it enough power while going through it.

If you can't get Odin to connect at all, that is a cause for concern. Hopefully you can find an external battery charger or something like that to try and get some juice back in that battery.

The other option is maybe the port on the phone is bad and it's not allowing any sort of connection, to charge or just connect.
