I use 5.0 CFS. Try and see what works best for you. I don't believe you need a custom ROM, but don't hold me to that. I do recommend switching over to a non stock rom for the performance improvements and added functionality they provide. Totally your call though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGAGNON10:
also what is the difference between cfs and bfs?

ok is there a rom u can point me to that is stable with performance increase? also does a new rom usually come with a different kernel? To flash a rom is it the same deal? Can i do so through ROM manager?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Which nexus do you have?

I personally have the 4G and can't really help you from first hand experience. I have heard people say good things about that "oxygen" rom. I would try out whatever looks best to you and go from there

Is a class 10 SD card compatible with our phone?

was looking at getting THIS when it comes out on the 01 August.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shahaf.vodi:
Yes it does, class 10 if fully supported
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
thanks ... is there proof or a site saying so?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shahaf.vodi:
its my 16GB class 10 card saying so ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
I heard some phones read them but it reduces the performance, whats your performance like?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shahaf.vodi:
My phone works pretty well.

Almost all my apps stored in a sd-ext partition, I also got a SWAP partition and the phone almost never freeze.

If you know about any app that does a stress check for the card I'll be happy to put it to the test
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
any chance of a speed test screen shot? SD tools free from the market that just tests the write/read speed of your card and would be helpful as mines only class 4 and i get 5.5MB/s writing speed and 14.1 MB/s reading speed :) what make is your card ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shahaf.vodi:
I've made 2 tests, using your requested app and a computer program called 'h2testw'

somehow using my laptop's card reader gave my lower reading speeds..

ohh, and the card maker is Kingmax.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
Thanks dude, looks compatible after all :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shahaf.vodi:
you are welcome mate, enjoy your new purchase :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
I have seen good performance out if mine. I was able to find a 8gb class 10 transcend pretty cheap so I bought 2. I will say if you buy one especially if you get it off ebay as soon as you get it test it out to make sure it lives up to what it says. Some SD cards have a memory hack that will make them say 8gb on your phone/computer but its not till you test it out that you find out its really only a 4gb.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
i would never buy sd card/battery from ebay, as i bought a battery from there when i first got phone (HAD NO CLUE BACK THEN) suppose to be 1600 mah but lasted same as original so thought hmm that's odd and it wasn't until i got battery monitor widget pro until i seen 1250mah under that same battery...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] PresidentMcCain:
I can transfer to the SD using Android USB Mount at >10 MB/s, proving that the phone hardware itself IS capable of fully utilizing a class 10 SD.

In fact, this is how I transfer ZIP updates for TyphooN CyanogenMod.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
@LaneyEFC

I know exactly what you mean. I bought two batteries that were suppose to be 1600ma only to find out they were 1400ma. Not to big of a difference but worth noting. About SD cards though I bought none from there as well and hadn't had a problem. The key is to buy a name brand and not the generic grab that seems to clutter up eBay. Besides $15 for a 8gb transcend class 10 was worth the gamble and I'm very happy with the results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LaneyEFC:
am going a bit large on my sd card as i have only a sandisk class 4 16gb but willing to pay 30+ for a good one and i think i found it which is the Samsung 16gb class 10 i found in my first post which is £22.49 Pre-ordered it for release on the 1st august :) and theres no way am buying a single thing without knowing its genuine before purchase
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htccraze:
That's exactly why you should always buy a trusted name brand that's still in its original packaging I think.

I was hoping someone hand any advice on my problem. I was running EF02 rom with EF10 modem and flashed EG22 from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123103

Now my phone doesn't turn on. Nothing works. Any help would be great.

Fixed:

I just let the battery and sdcard sit out of the phone for 45 minutes (doesn't have to be this long) then I put the battery back in and was able to get into download mode. I am flashing the phone back to stock as I think I might have messed something else up earlier. Make sure that after you put the pit file in odin you uncheck re-partition if you are just updating the modem.

This is how I brought my phone back from a hard brick. Thanks everyone for their help.

Some suggestions from others that might help:

no lights, no samsung logo, no led lights, phone looks completely dead.

Try this:

Remove SD card and battery, leave SD card out, put back battery and try booting into download mode (1 key + power button).

btw thanks for the help=)
[Epic 4G General] mikeregister:
You guys that are bricking yourselves and nothing is working at all you can try getting it in to download mode by holding 1 and then pressing the power button like 3-5 times then hold it after 3-5 times. That has worked for me before after my phone didn't work for a whole day when something went wrong flashing EF02. Or you could also hold 1 and just press the power button a lot of times and eventually it might work.
[Epic 4G General] castro08:
what you mean like 3-5?

thanks for your input

[Epic 4G General] chris41g:
Also, try taking the battery out leaving it out pressing the power button 3 times, on the third tim hold it for 15 seconds. Then plug your phone into usb without a battery and immediately hold 1 and power to enter download mode.

Any info on actually fixing this? my phone is dead with no DL mode
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
I bricked mine how ironicly rookie of me :(
[Epic 4G General] jUgGsY:
I hate to say it, but pulling the plug before it's finished flashing is definitely a BIG no-no! If you tried unplugging the phone from the charger/PC, and leaving the battery out for 5 minutes, and you still can't get into download mode, then it doesn't sound good bro.. :(

Just make sure you're holding down the "1" key damn good before touching the power button, because the last time I had a failed odin, and couldn't get into download right away (fixed by the battery method mentioned), attempting to turn the phone on before attempting download mode, i.e. just pushing the power button, would cause me to have to pull the battery AGAIN for a few minutes, before I was able to get back into download mode.

If its any consolation, and IF you are definitely bricked, I'm not too sure a sprint rep at a repair store can tell that you bricked it yourself while "voiding" your warranty, and you SHOULD get a free replacement.. So long as you have the TEP.. Although I can't think of any reason anybody wouldn't spend the extra $7/month when they own a $600 device. :)

Best of luck to you! :D
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Negative. I was on EC05 modem. You have to put it in "Phone" not "PDA" if you want to just Odin the modem. Its not a .tar like the other modems. Just check qbkings thread. It says it right above the link...EDIT...looks like it was changed since earlier....
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
Having a problem with mine since trying to flash the modem.bin through odin. There's a "phone icon..!..PC icon". I have tried a few different things including restoring my backup in CWM and nothings working. Won't go back into download mode. Won't boot up. I flashed it in phone, it said failed, for some reason and then this happened.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
If people are having issues, just wait a bit...there will be more about it I am sure. It worked for me using the modem.bin in "Phone" but if people are having issues...don't do it! EDIT...ok, if you click on the link for the modem in qbking's thread, it takes you to his ACS page where it clearly says to Odin in "Phone" slot
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
More info on my issue: Only way to get the icons I described to go away is to battery pull. After that, whether usb is plugged in or not, I am free to try to start the phone or go into CWM. It WILL boot into CWM, but nothing I do while in there has any effect on that icon reoccurring when I try to start the phone.

Ok, total weirdness. With the battery AND sd card out of the phone, on my 15th try to repeat a bunch of steps in a different order, I finally got back into download mode, the modem flashed correctly this time and is booting up.
[Epic 4G General] crazybliss:
dead also

didnt read all the comments but mine died too, completely dead no charging led no odin no anything, went to sprint, fresh new epic. Wont be doing that again.

Few things to try for general failed flashes and/or attempts to flash -

Have a verified working USB cable, Sprintsung stock cables are garbage! :p

Odin guidelines:

1) md5/tar files belong in "PDA" checkbox

2) Leave "Re-partition/F.Rest Time" uncheck when flashing through 1) options.

3) Modem only flashes, best to check Re-partition box and use pit file

4) If error says "Unsuccessful 0/0", try disconnecting usb cable, pull battery, reinsert battery and go into download mode again, then reconnect usb cable so you see a port # in "ID:COM" within Odin.

Entering download mode (1 key + power button = both at the same time)

General brick fixes:

(YMMV)

1) Pull battery and discharge any remaining voltage by pressing power button a few times while batter is out.

2) Pull battery and SD card, then reinsert battery with SD card out.

3) Pull battery and leave it out for a period of 5-45mins.

4) Pin-hole reset.

5) Pull batter out and boot into download mode with only the USB cable attached.

6) Take out everything - battery, SD card, USB cable, then discharge by pressing power button a few times and leave device alone for 5-45mins.

7) yank the battery.. hold down power +1, and while your holding the buttons down then stick the battery back in, it will go directly to download..

Unknown device error in windows:

Verify correct Sprintsung drivers are installed for your OS type (32/64bit)

Verify good USB cable (thick BB cables work best)

Uninstall/Reinstall drivers and reboot machine & device.

Try different machines/OS.

Feel free to give me your personal tips/tricks that worked for you and i'll gladly add them. ;)

Honestly, I don't know why everyone is saying EG22. That's only on the filename, everything else says it is EG14.

Not trolling as the ROM is great, just seems technically incorrect to call it 22.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Nope mine says EG22. The ROM tarball actually had dual modems in there so early on some people saw EG14. Oh, and I just went back to EC05 and used Odin to go to EG22 modem just to confirm that you don't need to start from any particular point. I have gone from EE03 TO EG22 and from EC05 to EG22 with no problems
[Epic 4G General] lbe:
I flashed from EC05 stock to EG22, Followed the guide and only flashed the SPH-D700-EG22-8Gb-REL.tar.md5. in PDA section. Everything from rom to modem flashed to EG22. I dont see EG14 anywhere.

Maybe you added something not suppose to be there in odin?

Yea I made a HUGE mistake that is all my fault. I ususally have 100% luck with odin. I use it all the time. I guess I just took it for granted this time/was confused about some of the files and where they go and was being rushed out of the house by my girlfreind and i wanted to try out the new leak and get off of ACS Bamboozle cuz it was draining my battery heavily. And When i realized i may have done the wrong thing i tried to pull the cord quickly and now im **** dead bricked lol. No method anywhere on XDA is working for me. I DO have TEP. Only problem is i have had too many replacements in a year through Asurion. Also in the past 2 months i have been into the same repair center 3-5 times for cracked screens/ latest time a blown speaker and actually saturday i took it in because my 4g radio died. When i went in about the 4g radio i had the phone on stock ec05 flashed back from ef02 but for whatever the ef02 update to ef10 modem popped up and the guy got all suspsicous and i basically had to tell him that ive rooted the phone and flashed different roms before lol and he gave me that little , well im not supposed to be helping you thing so now im a little weary. Im also worried that they magically get the phone to work and realize that im the one that screwed it up lol.

[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
It doesn't matter if you know what you're doing or not. Flashing beta software to a phone that can get bricked even from stable roms is a bad idea.

These leaks from samfirmware never come with source code. From a developers point of view, the only thing good about these leaks is they keep the people begging for new stuff to a minimum and keep the newbie devs busy. I joined premium on there for this reason.

I bricked from my first flash and I've been working with c++, java, and php for nearly 6 years now. Just because you know what you're doing doesn't mean you can use that as a failsafe.

Buy my priorities are form factor, fast, great screen, connectivity. Samsung has put out adapters for HDMI and USB. They are reasonable priced. So don't let all the 'it has no SD card or HDMI ports' scare you away as a viable option. I am finding the 32gb space more than adequate. :)
