Did that, I get modem exception occured... tried 3x on v2... hmmmmm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
thx trying this now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
What modems from this site were you referring to before? Did you load a modem from another phone or something? That'd certainly be a wrench in the mix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Interesting. I am on v2 and used gps today w/out problems. Does restarting the phone help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
I hope this helps...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
You said you accidentally flashed to PHONE instead of PDA? You might have corrupted the modem then, just a hunch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
I'm concerned he actually flashed a modem image from another phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
Tried it, Modem exception occurs on V2.

wiped data in CWN 3x, davic, cache, ect.

odined v1

went to stock recovery, wiped, reboot, tried, same modem exception occurs.

im stuck, like i said before circle of death!

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

im sorry, too much multitasking, where I said modem, i meant kernal...

just the kernals... Bubbys, and Zedomax. all versions,. thats what i am refering to.

tried all the kernals, and canrt get out of airplane mode.

instead of flashing v2 in pda, i flashed in phone 1st. im thinking i borked the modem... any suggestions? when we get odin stock would it fix it? or, did i break hardware internally?

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

no sir... only the kernals in this forum, bubbys (ACS), and Zedo, (now also ACS.)

V4 and V5 for bubby

and V1 and V2 for Zedomax

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------

any way to reflash a modem? I think you are right ZEDO... thats what it has to be... corrupted data, that controls the modems... I did try flashing the zImage that Caulk posted, but didnt fix anything. Any suggestions> right now im Borked! LOL been borked for 24 hours.

heres more info on settins, about scroll down,...

I think you need a WHOLE ROM replacement, I will have to work on a ROM quickly here...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
Also, i noticed the led is off when charging, it was on before... im borked for sure... hoping for a rom here soon!!! Thanks for the help Zedo... ill try to get a replacement tonight, when i have it, ill let you know, otherwise ill stay tuned until a rom is out... any rom right now.... would be great to get stock deodexed rom out there to flash!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Yeah, I definitely just want stock. Maybe make a nandroid and just delete all of the bloat. (In case I screw up :p). I seriously LOVE how smooth this phone is. Completely, 100%, DEFINITELY better than my old Evo.

This development section is hauling ass X's 3 btw. Hahaha.

Er, if all the users left this forum, developers would continue to develop and work on stuff. Which is what XDA is for. Threatening us with a few hundred/thousand whiney ****s leaving isn't much of a bargaining chip there sparky.

Yeah, you're screwed until either ODIN files become available or someone can dump the modem partition for you. Good job paying attention to what you were doing though.

Not really getting very good battery life with v1. Anyway to get CWM without an overclocked kernel? I want to upgrade but want a stock kernel for now.

Okay, "sparky", lets talk about what youre not getting.

Any idea how much it costs to run this place every month? I would bet the hosting bill is enough to make most of you cry. Think the owner of this site is paying it out of his pocket? Where do you think it comes from? The users and ads. Think there would be enough developers here to click those ads every month and pay the bill?

Also, Im not talking about a few hundred users. Stuff like this has a way of snowballing especially if the moderator doesnt handle it right.

I know more about running forums and building online communities than you do about developing for phones so take my word for it that its not that hard to make a forum a ghost town. Ive seen vibrant communities reduced to tumbleweeds in a matter of a few days when the users have a falling out with the staff.

I personally dont care one way or the other. I read and dont post that much. I just dont see any point in running people off either especially considering the impact it could have on this site. There is a tipping point. Keep thinking there isnt.

Thats all I got to say on the matter so if you want to continue this, PM me. Im not encouraging people to leave. I love it here. I just want everyone to get along.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Will this screw anything up being that I already flashed this? I'm trying to keep up but something about su location and what not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Nice, btw, do you know which files sg2 uses for boot animations?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
What I mean by "I already flashed this" is that I already flashed v1 of zedomax's root/overclock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am wondering if android.internal.telephony error means that the loss of signal is not kernel related. I have a lot to learn though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
I think it means you were hacked by gibberish
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hacre:
It isn't, people with stock are having the issue also.

zedomax, if the files listed here aren't affecting it there's also /data/local/bootanimation.bin, /data/local/bootanimation.zip, /system/media/bootanimation.zip and there's two boot logos in the kernel source itself in drivers/video/samsung, if memory serves that's for the first boot logo though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I put the bootanimation.zip in system media if you were looking at my sources.

I couldn't find /data/local/bootanimation.bin though???

and what files do i look for under drivers/video/samsung?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
sorry bud, just got home with my brand new epic... considering flashing again.

ill beth that wouldve fixed it though. had to be corrupt modem. when i hit phone instead of pda, it made it to the writing stage, and then froze...

sorry, cant flash now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Thank you! Can we possibly clean this thread of the crap or make a bug thread and move this. This has gotten so manly pages from back and forth banter about complaining and not the kernel.

Dicho por el Epic Touch de latinmaxima
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hacre:
Seriously? You're a developer giving these people kernels to flash to their 500 dollar plus handsets and you're asking me these questions?

Those paths I gave you are the paths you would expect to find bootanimations, I didn't say they'd necessarily exist.

If you LOOK at YOUR kernel tree you'll see logo files in the directory I gave you...

Sigh..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I see no logo files here:

Btw, I didn't know a thing about making kernels before I did, LOL, I know I ask dumb questions but that's how I learn, thanks. Just picking everyone's brains so it will all be absorbed into my stupid brain.

- i agree, this thread is getting out of hand with the anticipation for kernels, ROM's, etc

- To state that the user doesn't matter to XDA is utterly silly. Users = clicks and click = good business plain and simple. and lets be honest here, while all contributions are valued, they simply aren't equal and not always actual development.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I think I see the problem, what version of ODIN are you using? Sometimes you can have multiple versions on your computer, try using the ODIN in this file:

Hey Zedo, I have two logcats from when I found my phone in the no service issue. how do you want me to send them to you? Also, I grabbed the attached screen shot, notice the red lines in the signal bar, those are the times the no service issue occurred.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coffe34:
Apparently, there are issues related to voice and data reception that have nothing to do with root. And samsung/sprint is working on it. More info here:

http://phandroid.com/2011/09/21/is-your-sprint-epic-4g-touch-expriencing-problems-samsungs-working-on-it/

Just wanted to bring this up as I see some people still believe that the kernel is the main issue when I've been running V2 for 24+ hours and still haven't had any problems. Seems to me that if your having issues, you probably did something wrong, not the devs. And HUGE thanks to Zedomax for everything and everyone who has POSITIVELY contributed to this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jefbal99:
Want then attached to a PM or emailed?

Flashed v2 over v1 and data wouldn't work. Had to flash the other root method by bubby (sp?) and factory reset in stock recovery to get it back cause ##72786# wasn't provisioning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Can someone confirm this, if this is happening on stock phones??? If so, then its not the kernel, then at least i won't have to dig into it any more, maybe samsung will release an update soon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
flashed the v2 kernel the day it came out. NO problems with signal until a few minutes ago. got the red circle with slash. Reboot fixed it. there is no evidence this has anything to do with the flashed kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clubtech:
Many non-rooted people confirmed they are having this issue. It is NOT related to root or the Kernel.

People who went to the store to get a replacement phone and never rooted had this issue. Pure stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JBNAquatics:
Yeah I can confirm this on two ET that I have. Got it the first day out of the store, no data connection/reception (circle with line); had to reboot. Happened on the second ET too.

http://phandroid.com/2011/09/21/is-...-expriencing-problems-samsungs-working-on-it/

CONFIRMED!?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Ok, its quite possible now that its just a bug on Samsung's part. And its driving me nuts because the kernel is compiled off Samsung's own open sources, if its happening with this kernel it must be happening on stock phones too.

Too bad, many people who rooted never got a chance to even use the stock phone much, its been only couple days since launch.

If you have a stock phone and this happened at least once, please be sure to post a reply, thx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
its funny the social hub didnt work at first then when I was able to log in to it thats when the service drops started happening wonder if thats the culprit application :rolleyes:

I have a stock phone for now and havent had to reboot to get data...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fattires:
I had the no signal issue once a couple days after I got the phone, I was still completely stock at the time. It also happened again today after rooting last night. I think that the rooted kernal has nothing to do with it.

Loving this phone running the kernal OC'ed a little.. now if I could just get good battery life like some people have...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I really think its random and possibly depends on some minimum threshold or something. I have full bar 4G and I have tried all of the kernels so far and I haven't had to reboot because od signal loss once yet. Anyone with good 4G signal having this happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Now, did your phone did have a weird yellow or red bar at top when that did happen on stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] runner77:
All I know is I never had the signal problem the first 2 days I had the phone, when it was stock. Once I rooted over the weekend the problem started happening with all of the available rooted kernels.

This morning I went to bestbuy to exchange the phone. Now back on a stock phone, I have not had a single signal issue.

There maybe an problem with the original kernel, but my experience is it has something to do with the root kernels.

I have good 4G service as though I live practically on top of the tower but I still get dropped service and NON STOP reboots..????

I opened Sprint Zone (which I never do) and it said I had a Profile and PRL update available even though I did it on launch day. After I updated them (was getting error message past 2 days) I got this message..They must be working on it. Maybe its a new check. I didn't see this on my Epic when I updated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
No data problems and I got mine launch morning. I even roamed a couple times but nothing to make me reboot.

Really? logo_rgb24.h and logo_rgb24_ntt.h aren't there? I must be seeing things...

It is happening on completely stock phones.

You need to remember that what Samsung release as kernel source is not necessarily (and often is not) what is running on the phone when it ships.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apexi350z:
I have two Epic 4g touch completely stock since 9/19, no problem with voice or data. Houston, TX. area.

I'm not so sure, since it seem to happening more on rooted phones, from what I've read.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
The only time this happens is when you get bad signals (in my experience), it doesn't happen at my house where i get perfect signal but happens when I go out.

This is clearly a samsung bug, its not fixable until they fix their source code or until custom ROMs available.

The problem is, most people (here) rooted their phones within hours of getting the phone so they don't know if it happened on their stock phones...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I didnt have any issues before root and did after root. I think it is a root thing. In any case, please dont stop digging..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KieranHCorran:
Ditto here. I rooted within a few hours of getting mine...so I really can't say it had no issues before. The odd thing is I got my wife the same phone, applied the same kernel...and she has no signal issues. I'm inclined to think it's a device-specific issue, but just in case it isn't, please keep experimenting. :-) Yeah, yeah, I know, it's not MY time...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhtchd2:
I was messing around with root explorer and moving some files around :o well basically i screwed my phone up and couldnt get it past the samsung galaxy boot screen. so luckily i got another through sprint :D im gonna wait a day or 2 before i root again as last time i rooted withing a few hrs of getting it so not sure if my signal loss was due to root or not so will see.. with the last one i had to reboot the phone at least once or twice a day due to random data loss..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
I had the problem with the signal stock, and also the very first root. I use roam control a lot and was able to get the problem when I switched from Home to Roam, and roam to home, as well as wifi on to off, BUT I haven't had the issue since I flashed v1 (did have it on whatever we had before v1) I also don't have the issue on v2.

I drive all over the state of Ca with a ton of areas that have no signal so between roam control and my driving I was having the problem multiple times per day.

I've got updated everything and am on prl 60681 with v2 kernel and have not had any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] springsyeti:
When I got my phone I was talking to the salesman at the sprint store about 4g and coverage. He told me that sprint was doing a lot of data and system testing that involved overloading the system, causing some outages and other system issues. He stated this was in preparation for the iPhone release. After getting home with the phone the other day I lost data and phone service intermittantly for awhile. Came back but after reading all these issues I remembered what he said. I am stock, rooting now though. FWIW. I have not read anything related to this from sprint or on another site..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Telion007:
I have to agree. My wife and I both had Photons that had better ability to pick up a signal from the same place that the ET4gs have been spotty and mine is rooted hers is not. I too (with my limited knowledge) think it is a source code issue. Hopefully there will be an update that addresses it. On a side note. Awesome work Zedomax.
