Success

I've tried all of the following and was finally able to get it to boot:

Tried: odin(norepart,nopit,noautoreboot) NON SPECIAL from existing chargeGBE-1.8

Result: booted to cwm-4.0.0.4, factory reset, splash ep1q spash, then splash loop

Tried: odin(repart,pit,noautoreboot) revert to ed1, then odin(noautoreboot) to ep1q NON SPECIAL

Result: FAIL, could not mount stl11

Tried: odin(repart,pit,noautoreboot) revert to ed1 stock, odin(noautoreboot) to ep1h, odin(noautoreboot) to ep1q NON SPECIAL

Result: booted into into 3e recovery, selected reboot, am now @ stock EP1Q.

update:

flashed latest cwm recovery via odin, and proceeded to manuall convert rfs to ext4 via (tar -cvpf /sdcard/ep1q_{system,dbdata,data,cache}, etc....), am now on ext4 w/ EP1Q.

I just posted a seperate thread noting that I've tried different ways to get my phone back up. I can not either. Subscribing looking for a fix.

I only downloaded the debloated version, not the full version for EP1Q, unable to try that fix at the moment.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blackdraggin:
ive tried it. bootloops. odin back to ee4. tried it. bootloops. odin to leak EP1F. tried it. now CWR doesnt load up and theres a whole ish bout sd card not found. and yes ive data wipe multiple times. did it all for giggles and kicks to cover all bases just so you know. anyhow. back to stable ee4 for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
Does the EP1Q leak have changes to the radio as well?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
when did u reboot?

Hi did you just flash one after other without rebooting in between?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
I followed this exact method, not boot up's in-between, and I am currently running the ep1q.

I also reinstalled the battery during each odin flash to be safe.

All is well so far!
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Thank you Chad

That you chad I also did the same and its working
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Can you explain how to follow his instructions? What does this mean exactly: odin(repart,pit,noautoreboot) ??

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] norm883:
Odin check boxes

They are instructions to use for Odin where to place or remove the check marks on the screen before you flash the tar file.

norm883
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
When you open Odin3. Under where your yellow I/O number is, you will see 3 check boxes. Check all 3 boxes. Click "PDA" and go to where you downloaded your EP1Q. Hit start and let her rip.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
Files you'll need:

factory ed1

Factory ep1h

factory ep1q (non special)

factory pit file.

Step 1: open odin, i use version 1.82. Plug up your phone with battery out and put it in download mode. Now odin should detect your phone. reinsert your battery, may not be needed, but I like to be safe. Now in the options area, this is under the id:com area, uncheck auto reboot and check re-partition. Now click on the tab with pit and select the correct pit file for the charge. This can be found in the droid charge development area. once that's selected you need to select the correct odin image. Click on

PDA

and find where you've downloaded the stock ED1 image and select it. Again, all of these files can be found in the dev section. Now click start and wait for odin to complete the flashing process. takes approximately 4-7mins.

Step 2 and 3: reset odin and disconnect your phone and reconnect your phone in download mode. For steps 2 and 3. all you'll need to do is uncheck auto reboot and select the correct image file( ep1h for step 2 and then ep1q for step 3). If you wanna be extra cautious, re-insert your battery before you click start. Also, I don't typical flash images through odin with my 4g sim card installed. No idea if it really matters, but I've "heard" of issues and don't want to chance it.

Once you've made it this far. unplug your phone and pull the battery and re-insert it. power up your phone and wait for the sammy logo. You should see the phone wipe a couple of files and then reboot to the samsung logo again. Then you should see the boot animation.

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if your bork your phone up. Just tryin to lend a hand. Please please make sure you're comfortable with flashing odin and whatnot. This can and will make your phone a $650 paper weight if you're not careful. Hope this helps.

[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
Only obvious thing I mispoke on was ep1q being available in the Dev section. I'm sure it will be in a few hours, but it's currently only available through the TBH app, by P3Droid. I'm sure it'll be openly available soon though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] c0ns0le:
much appreciated i was too lazy
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
No worries.. I don't have near the skill set as some of the dev's on here, but I do teach people how to use their phone's on a daily bases, I'm an indirect agent for big red. So, I try to contribute where I can when I can.

;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
That's okay. I realized that. However, I am not find a STOCK EP1H...nor the PIT files via search. Anyone know where they are ?

Thanks!

[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Okay, I found the EP1H Stock ROM...so, good to go there. But still no PIT file...
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Thanks for the full spin out Chad. If figured (even though I know better) the masses would know what to do after my post.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
GO to the dev section and search for the post "how to fix your phone"

If you still can't find it. Repost and i'll get it for you .

Lol, I've learned that assuming the obvious isn't always the same obvious to everyone. Glad I could help.

[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
So, the "SPECIAL" version of TBH's EP1Q leak doesn't work at all? Will the version released here be STOCK, or what?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Here is how I did it, though slightly more complicated. This requires Linux/Mac to create the package to flash.

Download ED1/ED2/EE4 Odin, you need one of them, not all.

Download EP1Q Odin.

Extract dbdata.rfs and movinand.bin from the ED1/ED2/EE4 package that you downloaded.

Extract all of the EP1Q files.

Copy zImage to a new file named recovery.bin

With all extracted files in one place, and the recovery.bin you copied to, use the following commands to create a tar.md5 package:

tar -c factoryfs.rfs dbdata.rfs zImage recovery.bin movinand.bin lte_modem.bin cp_modem.bin > ep1q.tar
md5sum -t ep1q.tar >> ep1q.tar
mv ep1q.tar ep1q.tar.md5

When tar'ing the files, make sure that cp_modem.bin is the last file in the sequence, the order prior to that doesn't really matter. If you want the file named something else, feel free to name as you wish, just change the name in hte md5sum and mv commands as well. After creating the package, just transfer it to windows and flash as you would any other Odin package. After you flash and you get booted into android, you can reboot to download mode, and reflash the CWM odin image (I'll create an updated version then as well) and it will persist even after restarting as the files needed to reflash recovery are not present. From there, you could then flash the su/Superuser zip file from androidsu.com to gain root.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
Have no idea. Dev is away from his puter right now. I'm about to go to bed. Gotta be up in 5 hours. But i'm sure it will be stable. I don't believe in paying for leaks so i never mess with first cut unbranded leaks that known shady people put out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
gave your instructions a shot...posting this from EP1Q Stock.

:-)

Much appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Charge] charliebronson:
So, I got bored waiting for the Humble update to post and decided to flash stock. I just simply flashed EP1H Full bloated, then flashed EP1Q, running it now with no problems thusfar.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Probably didn't include one of the neccessary files beforehand. We ran into this problem a while ago with one of the releases of Humble when danalo didn't include a kernel in an Odin. Flash EP1F stock (or Gummy GB or similar), then EP1Q.

[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
Which stock are you talking about? EE4?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
4 1/2 hours on heavy use after debloating my phone and im at 41%.
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Is that good? What would it be normally?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
Well, there seems to be quite a few improvements in this leak, but there's one that I can't work with ATM. It probably won't matter to most, but I am a big user of my mobile hotspot, unlimited 4g hotspot freakin rocks. Plus, I've loaned my 4g mifi to a client of mine and it's my only option currently. It's not an issue of not connecting or anything. It just seems that only a few minutes after the phone screen dims and turns off, the phone and/or hotspot loses it's data connection. I went through with a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and I've completely reflashed the ep1q .tar file. Neither seem to correct the issue. So, I'm back to good ol' EE4 for now. Can't wait to actually see a fully usable version of 2.3!

[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
I haven't had this problem with my flash of EP1Q Stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JKChad:
Well, I'm gonna give it a try when I get back from the beach, next wednesday, but it's gotta work for me while I'm gonna. I hate relying on someone else's wireless connection. Not even sure if the house we're stayin in has wifi. Least I know it's something I might be doing wrong and can potentially remedy!
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Hope you get it working!
[Verizon Droid Charge] caifan:
Ha! I did that also and no boot loops and no complicated flashing settings or multiple odin attempts. Rocking the latest with no issues so far.

Edit: QUOTE didn't appear...I was referring to first Odin flashing the full bloated EP1H and then flashing the EP1Q. I was coming from stock rooted EE4 w/ voodoo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ghettomuffin:
How much does this differ visually from Froyo? Can anyone post a screenshot or two please?
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
sorry no help with the screen shot...I'm just posting to say that you have one of the coolest screen names I've ever seen......:cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
It looks the same as the stock froyo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ghettomuffin:
So it still has the poop brown smushed all over it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Yes. Its a beta from Samsung, not a custom rom.

Damn, i was hoping Samsung would have realized by now that everyone hates having their phone look like a dirty diaper and would get rid of it in GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
So does anyone have a shorter of flashing this, instead of using Chad's way? ED1-->EP1H-->EP1Q?

Yeah. The themer(s) should be fired.

Could you explain how you manually converted to ext4? I don't know what you mean just by reading your post...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kennydied23:
Download the updated version from MDW or TBH app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Have to use Nameless kernel (stock kernel doesn't support ext4). There's also a guide floating around on how to get to EXT4 on GB....but of course I can't find it.

Is it updated on TBH?

Its the TBH version more recent?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kennydied23:
No, they should be the same now
[Verizon Droid Charge] ms0chez:
I tried the MDW around 6 and still got the bootloop. Even did Chads process twice and bootlooped both times :/ I'm dying to get on ep1q lol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MIKEYFTP:
is the ep1q version that paople are getting to work the p3droid version or the stock version?
[Verizon Droid Charge] brabe1979:
I would stick with stock
[Verizon Droid Charge] Keighles:
I flashed Gummy GB ep1h then flashed the ep1q radios from nitro's post. (Coming from humblecomb 1.51)

Everything looks and works great. I'm getting 1600+ on quadrant scores and I'm still running rfs.

[Verizon Droid Charge] jselden:
I have tried with P3 Special and Bloated and I cannot get past the boot loop. I have tried to load this several times now and fail every time.

Odined ED1 and then ep1h, it boots just fine and when I odin ep1q it boots twice and then goes to a format data screen and then just loops. I have also selected not to auto reboot. I have also tried with Odin 1.82 and 1.85 and just a no go.

Back on EE4 now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
ditto

I was able to use the TBH non special with ED1>EP1H>EP1Q....worked fine, then I did the stupid thing, I saw that TBH had uploaded a newer version so I deleted older and tried and since then no luck, back to EE4 now. In a way happy because I feel that if you can not simply odin the file and have to go through all the compacted steps, means the leak is not good, who knows what else might not be working
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
anyone seen an increase in 3G on this radio?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
With EP1Q, booting up takes so long. It takes between one to two minutes to get past the Droid eye. :/
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
Which EP1Q did you use?

Hi which EP1Q did you use?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I had no problem getting to EP1Q..

1. odined to stock EE4 with PIT, booted phone up and powered off to make sure it worked

2. odined to stock EP1H, booted phone and powered off to make sure it worked

3. odined CWM, booted into it and wiped data/cache/dalvik then powered off

4. odined stock bloated EP1Q and it booted and worked, build # EP1Q etc...

4a. odined CWM and flashed Kejars GummyCharge GBE beta ;)

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Fully bloated non-special.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
I meant from which site

I meant where did you get it from TBH or here? TBH posted the second version and that is not working for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Here in the Development forum. I tried downloading the one on MyDroidWorld, but it was taking too long to download. The rom itself is smooth and nice, but the boot up time is way longer than any other rom i've had.
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
I definitely have an increase in 3G performance. Used to get about 127kbps down on at my house. Now I have around 350-420kbps! No joke!

I am one happy Gingerbread user! Thanks TBH!
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
I used the one from TBH app the same day he released it and I have this same problem. Booting takes 2 minutes.

Is there a known way to fix this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:
can u post it

Hi can you post it some where? I did delete the first version, when I try the one here I keep getting the error message MD5 Hash Value invalid...I downloaded a few times from different places, but the same error even the TBH one gives me the same error
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Sure, I'll give it a shot...it'll be a few since I'll be uploading it via 3G.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rukshmani:

Thanks that last link you posted for me actually worked this time. I am now finally on EP1Q.

There is a post under development for this. Took me a while, but the directions work perfectly. Read it about three times before you start though as it requires time and attention. Took me about 30 mins altogether.

I tried it and it worked for me
[Verizon Droid Charge] scottsdca:
off topic, but since it was mentioned here....

Was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the bootanimation, since it is taking so long to start up for most people on here. I'm coming from the Droid 1 and we were able to delete it somehow.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Would you rather see nothing for a few minutes while your phone starts up? I would freak out and think I had bricked my phone.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Just curious is anyone has gotten the P3Special version to work?

I have no problems with the Bloated version and have been using it since it was released in the TBH app (typically just by EE4+Pit->EP1H->EP1Q). The P3Special; however, I have never been able to get past the "Samsung" boot loop.

Just thinking it would be nice to at least start off with a little less bloat.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Its because you didn't deactivate voodoo lag before flashing. You have to be in an rfs environment
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
So, if I understand right, disabling Voodoo lagfix before flashing the EP1Q Special ROM will get it to work, rather than just boot loop?

How do I disable Voodoo lagfix on my phone? I'm on Stock EP1Q and I don't see it anywhere in the CWR area...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
I don't believe so. I think danalo1979 may have not realized you were referring to the Special version and that you were already on EP1Q (which does not support Voodoo...pretty much a Froyo only thing at the moment). Personally, I cannot get it (Special) to work no mater where I come from, so no advice on that right now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
Ok. Same here, never got the Special version to work.

I don't understand why TBH would release a leak that doesn't work! psh!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Anyone else having issues with /system since flashing EP1Q?

Ever since, I can no longer umount /system and it is not being formatted when flashing any Odin (there are still references to several files in /system that should not be in a clean ROM).

CWM: Cannot format /system getting an error system it cannot unmount it...also cannot manually unmount it.

ADB (from recovery): umount /system gives "device is busy"

I've tried ED1+Pit and everything looks good; however, /system still has old files in it and cannot be unmounted. -> EE4 Stock (still no go) -> EP1H Stock (nope) -> EP1Q (still not able to). Otherwise, everything looks good.

Currently in the process of going back to EE4+PBJ+CWM->Voodoo Enable to see if that will let me format system. In the meantime, figured I'd ask for comments/suggestions...
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
hmm I've never heard of issues with corrupt/faulty internal memory, but yeah enabling lagfix/voodoo should format it and get it back to normal
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Yup, that seems to have done it. Once lagfix ran and converted the system on boot, I had no issues with /system. Went ahead and used the Nameless scripts to format everything, after which, I'll begin the journey back to EP1Q. Appreciate the support, thx.

good all is well then... its good to know, it may help people in the future

I also tried the P3 special and ended up bootlooping on the samsung logo. I then tried the normal EP1Q file and I'm still bootlooping. I've heard about perma bricks when going back to EE4. Anyone with some recommendations?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
Same fix as usual...flash full ee4 with pit and reformat selected
[Verizon Droid Charge] ashish8:
Thanks rand, I'll keep that in mind. I was able to get it booted up by using Gummy 1.9.

I had an issue like this where I couldn't use adb remount...weirdness
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
I am noticing two issues on my EP1Q Stock charge...

1) GPS takes FOREVER to fix in a known good area.

2) My phone doesn't seem to want to connect to 4G on it's own. Sometimes it will, but it's flaky. I can 'force' it by turning off the radios and back on, but this is lame. It should be automatic, and right away, no?

[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
Did everyone who got the stock EP1Q leak on their phones fail the MD5 check? I had been trying to use the one from the MyDroidWorld website (which passes MD5) to no success and the first time I tried the one linked here (which is different and not labeled as "Rooted", and also happens to fail the MD5 check which I perhaps dangerously ignored by taking the .MD5 extension off) it worked.

Or does anybody have a link to a version of this leak that passes the MD5 hash check and also doesn't bootloop? I'd feel safer if I flashed that one over this one even though it seems to be working fine so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
i can't remember where i got mine from but it works fine, i've used it successfully twice already... give me a few minutes and i'll throw up a link
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
Here's the copy of EP1Q i've been using (unzip first), I believe I downloaded it from Danalo's Humble GB thread so all credit for this go to him and P3droid/TBH:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34782489/CI510_VZW_EP1Q_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL397514.tar.md5.7z

I've used it twice with no problems, and here's how I did it since so many people seem to be having problems:

-odin to stock EE4 with PIT file, boot up to make sure it works then power off

-odin to stock EP1H, boot up to make sure it works then power off

-odin CWM, boot into it and wipe data/cache/dalvik then power off (this step may not be necessary but I do it anyway)

-odin EP1Q and power it on

stock recovery might show up on first boot, select reboot phone and it'll turn on like normal... also I believe this is the "special" one as when last I checked it roots when odined

You should now be on the EP1Q leak :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] PeterDLai:
The one you posted seems to be different from the P3Special in this thread's original post, at least judging by the filesizes. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] j0kerm4n:
This is the stock image you have here. The special version is debloated and includes some additional features, however, no one seems to be able to get it working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Raccroc:
Just a quick FYI: Installing CWM isn't really necessary for most people, if you are going to be running Stock EP1Q (as opposed to a custom ROM). Unless there are Zip files you need to install, it isn't a whole of of use (to MOST people...). Also, you can also install it after the fact if you find you do have a need for it.

I do the same wipe step, but I boot to the stock recovery (same way...up+home+power) and just do the factory wipe there. No need to wipe dalvik, since it resides in /data/dalvik-cache and will get wiped with /data is wiped.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
yeah I know that step's not necessary, and it isn't to do a complete wipe either but it doesn't hurt.. I know this may be a different way to do it but it hasn't failed me yet lol :)
