To odin back from an MTD build, you have to use the tar and pit, and have repartition checked. Take out your battery and sdcard, press the power button a few times to remove any excess energy, then plug it in that way, and try to get into dl mode. If it works, odin with the above instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MoSeriouS:
Just want to report that for me the Wifi "issue" has been more of a problem with the new MTD Build than any other time I've used any of the CM7 builds. Typically with the various CM7 Builds that have the Wifi "issue" I just toggle the Wifi On/Off from settings and eventually it recognizes the network, I enter the PW, and I'm pretty much good to go from then on. I've flashed the MIUI MTD Build and the second I try to toggle the Wifi On/Off it locks up and then Reboots, Over and Over again... I've wiped data/cache/dalvik 3x and formatted system/data/cache as well prior to flashing the new build, but each of the three times I've tried to get Wifi working, I go into reboot city...Anyone else??? Never had it this bad with CM7, and I feel like I'm missing something....?

Thanks, but it's as dead as John F. Kennedy. No power at all.

You don't need power, well battery. I have to odin with my battery out otherwise it always fails. Take out battery, open up odin, connect your usb cable to computer, then hold 1 and the power button while you plug in the usb it should goto download mode and you can follow zanders directions from there. Good luck.

Whoa. Sorry man. Try pushing on the hole near the camera below the battery cover.

Had this same issue. Went into cwm , wiped cache and Dalvik and reinstalled rom from there. Been a few hours and the issue hasn't happened again. This Rom really is amazing. The MTD makes a noticeable difference. No need for overclocking if our phones can run like this normally. Wow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
Finally got it stabilized and WOW. Mtd really lived up to the hype. Flying without oc as was just said. The speed boost is most noticeable on rebooting. It boots up super fast

and if we nand backup an mtd rom well be able to restore it just fine right?

Ok my themes don't work, even after doing

Su

exec /system/etc/init.d/06defaulttheme

It only says "dealing with default theme" then it goes back to the $ promp.

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
are you trying to apply a whole theme? or did u go to customize to mix and match different theme parts?

cuz sometimes if u try to mix and match that way, by applying individual theme components one at a time, they don't apply. if you want to do this, you can just just click a theme to apply the whole thing, THEN pick which components you DON'T want. they'll definitely apply that way.

if not, don't know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tdwp16:
Type su

Exec

System/etc/init.d/06defaulttheme
[Epic 4G Android Development] cavey8500:
well its mixed and matched. when i restored my data from miui back up i have a theme and i just wanted to change it, when i fixed the theme with that on v5 i could edit the theme after and it would apply it right away. maybe ill just reflash and try it then and see if i can get themes to work

EDIT: after wiping and reflashing this rom, then restoring miui stuff and selecting a theme and typing in the command in terminal emulator i can now change my theme anytime i wish with the theme manager. so if anyone else has this problem, thats how to fix it! =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
i had the same exact problem. just try what i said before u reflash. it worked for me and its easy. When you open themes, rather than click Customize, click on a theme, then scroll down and unselect the components you don't want to apply from that theme. if u just want to use the status bar of a certain theme, for example, click that theme then unselect everything but "status bar".
[Epic 4G Android Development] cavey8500:
thanks for your reply. but i have allready flashed and it works fine now. i didnt think of doing what you said. i just was doing it all through customize.

ok so just as a heads up, and see if im the only one with this issue, when i try to send long texts (over 160 char in length) my gf says she only gets half of it or part of it like one word, and sometimes she gets stuff like "oaishfihure66t^ @b6" now on gosms it looks fine on my end, i have it set to split the messages, so is anyone else getting this? i just updated gosms, may resolve it, it may not. any ideas?

MMS

Im sure everyone might of noticed this but the stock mms app is working on sending just not receiving. I loaded and before i could freeze the mms i wanted to see what happens if i sent a mms. I didn't configure anything for gosms i just sent a test sms to myself using stock and it came in, but i was unable to download. but when i opened go sms the mms was there and it let me download it and it showed in both the stock and gosms. I just turned off notifications with the stock mms and ill run it like that for awhile. Thanks again to all the Devs this is by far my favorite rom. I have two questions would anyone recommend a good kernel to use i wouldn't mind to oc/uv and my 3g speeds seem to be lacking can i use 3g supercharger to help this out. i was on ACS 5.5 and got used to my 1-1.5 meg download speeds. Thanks again for this great rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
someone just answered the kernel question like 3 posts up. and u can run the 3g script fine.

this is a longshot i know..and im all but positive the answer is no. but there's no way we can successfully flash a fascinate miui mtd kernel over this right? also, any way one of our kernel devs can make them compatible with epic? i have kernel envy - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1119169 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252871 (even better).

also saw that on their regular roms they have kernels that allow oc'ing up to 1.9ghz!!!! wtf!?!?! we're galaxy s too...
[Epic 4G Android Development] bit1:
In GoSMS go into settings , send settings, and select split large messages and you should be fine. It may also help to use root explorer to delete sms go and re install from market. I had to that in order to receive mms.

**Oh yea, what do we use to tether with this? i.e if I use Open Garden or Sprint Hotspot will they work just fine? I was just looking to tether my Touchpad or Ipad and send emails, etc. for work
[Epic 4G Android Development] JSIN3L33T:
Exactly... I just hard bricked mine also, fudging around... Not with miui but it took me 5 to 7 Odin re-partitions but she came back......lol that's what she said haha

Keep trying brotha..as long as you had

acs/cwm recovery you CAN bring it back.. Try also pulling the battery and waiting 2-3 minutes over and over till you get it...sometimes you can tell when its actually a good boot into recovery because its not lagging while you are scrolling the recovery menu :-)

Questions..ask us all..you have allot of friendly awesome people here with allot of combined years of knowledge :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
I really don't think so. Also, our devs may be able to integrate some of the features in the kernel, but it won't work out of the box.

i had allready done the split messages. but i uninstalled with titanium and we will see if it works now that im reinstalling it

So, just to be sure, the mms fix isnt any flashable zip, correct? Just freezing stock and making gosms the stock, basically?
[Epic 4G Android Development] D6E:
MIUI went ape%^&* on my phone today and kept randomly rebooting. I've enjoyed using it but the stability factor and 3G data drainage makes it problematic for me. Hoping a newer version addresses everything. Keep up the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] syphonkusanagi:
Every once in a while I get that prob. I usually have to turn off then on twice, then it seems to work. I did come back, and I love this rom! The fact that I can send and receive mms is the best thing. I can usually download video if I need to and use mobo player, but the mms thing is the most important. I love this rom, think I'll stick with it for a while :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
It originally was a flashable zip, and after flashing if u froze stock and used go sms it worked. Now the flashable zip is incorporated into the rom.

thanks. only thing with that thread is there are no pit files, which i believe you need to re-partition and go back to stock after flashing an mtd rom.

can i just use odin with a stock pre-rooted deodexed ec05 tar, the victory .pit file, and just click re-partition and reset and be on my way? or will this cause a problem?

and do i put the tar file in the pda slot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Use the Stock EC05 tar, the victory.pit, have auto reboot and repartition checked. I don't know if you can use the deodexed tar to convert from mtd to bml.

Go here: webchat.irondust.net channel #epic and ask if you can.

I don't post much here at all, but just wondering and in no way I am nagging or complaining at all. I appreciate all the work everyone is putting into MIUI and I am glad I have what I have. But what is on my mind, is what is actually stopping us from having the stock MMS? I mean... obviously, the ROM itself is capable of sending/receiving MMS through GoSMS, so what is it that's stopping the stock from doing so? One would think its just the incoming/outgoing settings in the sms/mms apk, thus looking into another rom should enlighten us, but it's just not happening. Like I said, not nagging or anything, just a curious person.

And thank you again to everyone working on this project, and I don't mean just the coders, I also mean the users like me who bring forward the problem so they can be fixed.

You will be receiving an email before midnight (CST) with the fix.

Edit: I've attached a framework.jar built from the 1.12.2 fascinate build with the new CM7 files that should fix 911.

WARNING! I have not tested this myself, so tread lightly. Be sure to make a backup however possible. Also.... if someone wants to test if 911 works, you can call the police NOT USING 911 and let them know you are a phone developer and you are wanting to verify that 911 works... they should then give you a time you can call back to verify it works... or something like that. Don't all of you do it at once though :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Death259:
2 things.

1) I hope to get the next release of MIUI Builder out this weekend. I've already got the 911 fixes in it. The big thing is separating out what is done across both the EXT4 and MTD builds and what isn't. Then i have to add in the MTD only stuff. Once that chunk is done then i can add in the rest of the little things like choosing a bootup sound and what not.

2) Feel free to experiment with various MMS apks. I would think using a sprint based rom to pull the MMS.apk from might prove more fruitful... but who knows. If you manage to get any sort of solution then I'll include it in the next MIUI Builder release (if it's found by then).
