There's no guarantees at XDA. Or on the internet for that matter.

Its like going around and eating food from complete straingers. You never know what your gonna get or what's in it.

On the other hand I trust the devs here but when you see problems with the first method its usually better to wait for the third or fourth method. Unless you can afford to brick your phone and possibly not get it replaced for free.

This is what I read right under the big red words: *Note - This rooted kernel is still experimental, we are not responsible for anything that happens to your phone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Number one: you read the damn part where it said, experimental kernel.

Number two: nowhere did it say there was a reverse.

Number three: had you been following and reading from day one(like me ), you would have known all these things. Give the developer some f'in time and stop these troll-like arguments. Let's just wait and try to have constructive arguments and debates/thoughts on here. Everything will b fixed soon. Now next time, wait for all the kinks to be fixed before you go and flash something experimental.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Oops, ignore this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Telion007:
Oh what a joyful occasion. My ET4g is rooted and ready for some serious overclock action.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
No one's trolling. I'm just calling BS on that dude's statement (which it is...BS). I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE KERNEL...in fact, I think it's pretty damn awesome that someone has put all the effort into making us happy. However, some people are experiencing problems and I'm just trying to save some people a headache as well as help the OP cover his ass a little better.

So....go gargle some peanut butter or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
+1
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Lol, I hear you bro, but anyone knows you take a risk when wanting to root. Even if 1000 devices work with a method, theres always that one that borks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Just for the record, nobody heard me *****ing. I knew what I was in for, and I'm okay for now. I'm just hoping for a good kernel to flash and fix things before I have to go the insurance route.

Those of us who've been here a while know the drill - it's at your own risk. What I don't need is someone else rubbing my nose in my mistake - I've got enough pain without your help. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
I don't think I said you were *****ing , did I? ;) My post had a quote to 12many but I removed it by mistake. I know trust me, I was mad because my phone took a benchmark hit, but I'm just trying to keep people from complaining and just using positive reinforcement in order for zedo to see...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Working on it we should have performance back soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You guys are both right. I have been bouncing back and forth between this and the ACS kernel thread getting a grasp on the possible issues. So, that being said, if you root with these kernels, there is a possibility of some things not working. If you have a hard time being patient while improvements are being made then try one out. I haven't had the problems myself. If you absolutely can't risk the possibility of losing functionality of anything for a half of a day or a day then just wait for an update. I always flash under the assumption that the first people that flash something are essentially a larger test base. If you see pages of comments about how great and flawless something is, its safe to say that something is 100% good. I have no doubt that the devs will dial everything in and we will be bragging about our custom kernels and ROMs very soon. For those who are jammed up right now, I know its gotta be tough right now but hang in there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Well I rooted and I've always said it was up to me to do it or not I just wish as much time is put into this fix as the release. I guess I got pissed when 1 of there members said it was more important to get it out and be first then to take the time and make sure it was right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stacio88:
I rooted using this method and I haven't experienced any issues at all. I haven't lost 3G connection or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
pardon my ignorance but why does adb issue a permission denied error when I type in SU or when I try to push/pull from /system/app??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
To be clear i only have lost calls.Once today incoming and had to reboot and 1 time outgoing.Yesterday after i rooted it did 1 time.

I have been running barnicle tether and also TB with no problems so to be fair i am getting the call issue :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
I did zedomax too working flawlessly quadrant score little bit lower than stock but everything working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
I'm having problems with apps freezing and data and phone being lost. Is it possible to go back to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
I just flashed the file here and I went over to the ACS forums and there is a V5 to download. Whats the difference between the file there and the one uploaded here?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
That bootscreen is the stock one from Android. Sprint just throws theirs on top of it to show it is their model. Apparently when we got root, it made that not show. No big deal lol.

I'm not running into any problems Zedomax. WiFi/Tether is AMAZING, all apps are SuperUser friendly, no reboots, data loss, dropped calls (even after 30 minutes), Pretty pumped for the recovery. Just in case I manage to screw something up lol.

Haptic is fixed in v5 and so far no issues...so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
"Everything works. It's all good in v5 ! "

Guess its better ;p I'm flashing right meow

We don't have a zImage for our phone yet, so its from the international version.... It still works, they just fixed everything that was broken with the initial ports. - this is based on assumption, may be wrong..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratm2200:
Some people were having phone or 3g data issues with the zedomax kernal. I just flashed version 5 and the haptic feedback is working which was the only issue that kernal was having as far as I could tell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Benchmark scores have gone down with the V5 kernel and the zedomax kernel.. whats up with that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
do I need the pit file for the v5 or just the tar file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timdorr:
adb kill-server

sudo adb start-server

Gotta make sure the ADB server starts under root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
grab setcpu and set to performance, this kernal has it set to on-demand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I didnt use it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I assume it was set to on demand before..?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
Are u noticing anything different between v5 and zedomax kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
not a damn thing from what I see.. Linpack actually went down with V5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Not even on performance and 1200 as the benchmark any better then stock, actually lower so that won't make a difference. zedomax is working on that don't worry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
.pit is just to tell odin which zImage goes where, you don't need it for a single kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
Well I had my voice and 3G disappearing every now and then. Hopefully V5 fixes that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratm2200:
As far as the battery drainning faster when switching to a rooted kernal, could it be we need to calibrate the battery after flashing the new kernal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Dont know about that. I was hiitting 3400 before root, 2900 after root and now setting the cpu hit 3440 again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
same here. but I could be wrong.. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratm2200:
My scores have also gone back to what they were when it was full stock, between 3200-3400 on quadrant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
Thanks, OP should probably update the first post with the newer version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I grabbed the Battery Calibration app and it did seem to make a difference for me. I am not too far into battery cycle to say how much but I seem to be in the 90%'s longer now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
do have the link??

cant seem to find it?? will give that a try..my data is borked..still have it but painfully slow...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
did you set cpu to performance? my scores are now up from yesterday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:

I have no clue why on demand is so low.... These tests were done multi-threaded btw..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
When you run performance aren't you constantly running at max freq or is this strictly for benchmarking?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpkimmel:
isn't this technically moving backwards, we are trying to catch up to the performance of the stock kernel?

Still No 3G/Voice

Flashed V5. No change.

Anybody know how to brick this thing solid so I can return it to Sprint? :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Glad i havent flashed yet lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Helpful.

Anyone...seriously.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
2 options

flash something crazy, like a 3vo kernel/bootloader to it, or wait like 3 days max for this to be figured out...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
According to Zedomax if you attempt a flash using a .pit file for the epic 4G it will brick and not show anything. Thats on first post, but Id ask him if he thought that would keep the samsung 9100 screen from coming up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
thats not apples to apples.. performance rooted kernel vs on demand stock??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What I am seeing from CPU Spy is that the phone seems to be running on the 500 and 800Mhz frequencies more now. It seemed to spend more time at 200 before root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
microwave it..google the procedure
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
They have the same scaling I believe?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Yeah - that's the thing. Plus, the Odin screen shows how many custom images have been installed. Dead giveaway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
data speeds are back

flashed to v5 and my speedy data is back..all looks good..doing quadrant now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpkimmel:
although i don't recommend it, use the images for the phone, but make sure repartition phone is check....and wait a few minutes and disconnect the usb cord...instaBrick....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
I've taken 2 evo 3d's to sprint that were rooted, idiots never know..

Something comes up later just say huh? I just use the phone to make calls
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
performance is back on v5 too

quadrant back up to 3400..think i am set for now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Where can I get v5 and do I flash it like the first 1?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kindaskimpy:
The only issue I had with this kernel was losing 3G and voice call connectivity intermittently and having to reboot every time it happened to get it back, but other than that, performance has been great.

I just flashed the V5 Kernel to see if it helps with the loss of voice calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Everything seemed to be fine last night but today I've had 4 separate times now where my phone has lost signal all together and needed to be rebooted to get phone/data back. When this has happened I tried going into About-->Status to see if I could see anything odd and I kept getting a FC of com.android.phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
You just need to read some of whats going on here. Your issue is common right now. A fix is being worked on and hopefully right around the corner.

Edit: Also it looks like v5 of the ACS Kernel may fix the issue. So keep your eyes on this thread. I might jump on board here soon if the voice/data issues are taken care of.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ratm2200:
I was more concerned that my performance slipped with any tweaks to the kernal, v5 seems to have my phone and others back to what it was on pure stock which was pretty good and I have setcpu ondemand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Has anyone had any problems with calls or data since on v5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I'm using set CPU, with my phone set to conservative and my task killer app (task manager stock) keeps killing set CPU. But I've been on it all day and it is still holding up. Much better than stock.

To avoid any more BS, should I delete the task manager apk and download my own, just so I can make sure set CPU is running at all times?

V5 or V8 ?

Thought I saw a Senior member suggest V8 so I went to the store, bought a half gallon of it and aside from feeling like a giant veg, still can't find a way to tether my E4GT to my A500 Tablet. In all seriousness, I appreciated the post about my A500 not recognizing Ad-HOC so I can only assume the hotspot function that Cyangen uses in CM7 on my Nexus one is not Ad-HOC. I even tried Barnacle, also a no-go. I'll be patient until the "code masters" build us a MOD that works as well on the E4GT as they do on my Nexus One.

Regarding V5, not sure if I should bother flashing it since my only current issue is the wireless tethering to my Acer tablet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Does Samsung Kies have to be uninstalled from phone and computer before rooting? im so used to htc and having to uninstall sync. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
INSTALLED NOT uninstalled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetemp75:
V5 put the speed back in the phone, 3500 quadrant and 88 linpak
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
No, don't uninstall Kies from either.

On your computer, though, go into Task Manager and close any open Kies processes before you open Odin. (You need Kies for the drivers but if it's open it can interfere w/Odin.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
You are right, I can hit 3400 with this kernel butI used to hit 3800 STOCK!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:

ZedoMax v1 kernel killed all my cellular phone service

Sorry Zedomax ... installing your new SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v1.tar cut off all Sprint cellular phone service to my E4GT. I used exact ODIN install method same method as my former SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar which was working perfectly.

I reinstalled SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar with ODIN but it did not undo the damage.

Unless somebody comes up with a quick fix, I'll be heading to my local Sprint Store today to get a new phone because without a cellphone, my business (the one that feeds me 7 my dog) is dead.

P.S. Wifi still working but Bluetooth also died under the new Kernel.

I don't want to clutter things up but perhaps we could get someting where on the first page there is a log via date or just a quick sentence of things that we have come across like a timeline. It would just help others from then asking the same questions over and over and we could see the progress of everyones hard work.

If you are using your lifeline, sole business phone, or only connection to the outside world then I probably wouldn't screw with something that works in the first place. In other words don't flash something unofficial and even then they put out bad updates.
