Good looking out, is there a master list?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Man... If this call bug is legit, that'll be fun since there is no stock kernel available at the moment... lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
this root is based off stock kernel from samsung sources so we should have unroot kernel shortly, compiling this week, after i get some rest, still feelin a bit wheezy from last night.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I packed this bowl for two
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
so can we flash clockwork from rom manager with this method? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Yeah... I figured you had some E4T/Euro SGS2 mash-up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
Hey Zedo what did your phone do to know it was hard bricked? All I get is blue led light on when I boot, charge, or try to go into download mode. I F*ed up during odin, failed repartition. Am I hard bricked? Did sprint give you a hard time or did they sway you in store? Did you buy from them or online?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I am celebrating root myself here my friend. Soon to come is recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Hey zedo, just uninstalled setcpu and without anything but the kernel source, the phone won't go past 2958. Once I install setcpu and set it to performance, then I can hit 3500, but nothing higher. For now I wishI could just revert to open box state, possible? If not, its all good, I'm sure you'll figure it out, awesome job bro... Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Anyone in the Austin, Texas area that can assist with this rooting process will be appreciated and compensated. Pm me.

Thanks,

Ian B

Coming from anEvo, this Odin process is new to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i can walk ya through it on gtalk if you want?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
By the time your done with the oc kernel, I'm sure we'll b easily hitting over 4200!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I hope so, I am hitting 3200's easy on stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
I was hitting 3800 stock, now can't get over 3560
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
I just tried to make a call after the phone sitting for awhile doing nothing and no go in or out without a reboot.Wish i could go back to stock but i guess i rushed into rooting.Owell live and learn
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] henbone11:
if we could only get a full cwm in this root, it would be perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenide:
Same problem here.

Is there anyway to go back to stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
When he gets sleep and gets around to making a stock one so we can unroot and then root again i would think.Its a pain in the butt because you never know when it happens till you try to make a call and if someone tries to call you forget it cause i tried to call my phone with my spare and it would not call it.I think more have it then they think because many have not put there phone down long enough or have not tried to make a call after a long idle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Let's just all be thankfull (I'm not saying we aren't, heh) that our phones at least haven't bricked on us (most of us). I honestly didn't need root cuz the phone was hilariously fast but I wanted to oc (or in todays case, force the cores to run at 1.2) just to see max benchmarks, but to no avail! (Yet) I still, however, am happy that I got the 10 dollar protection plan (no deductible) from best buy so if anything were to happen, I'd just run this thing over with my car (without the 16gb mem stick of course, lol) and get me a shiny new one, LOL. PROBLEM solved!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenide:
Found another bug!

After leaving my phone on for awhile after, using data, making 1 call and receiving 1 call I found that it no longer receives any service. Once I reboot the problem is fixed, however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
Would like to know as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
I wonder if an app like fast reboot clears it or does the power need cycled
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
after rooting... i wanted to do a factory reset on my phone, and it is now stuck in a boot loop... any ideas guys?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oxeneers:
Well this sucks, we are without a working phone. oh well. The price you pay for root!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
all i need to back to stock is the stock kernal, im sure some1 has it, jes need to find out WHO!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
stock kernel coming this week bud. So easy to do, just reverse superuser. lol celebratin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
so i gtta wait for stock kernal to come out in order to get it working again?? isnt there someway i can use the system dump to get the phone working?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
There is but just wait for the stock kernel i will make it tomorrow after getting some sleep. lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Did anyone try toggling airplane mode to see if it fixes the issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brentspink:
Flashed Zedomax - Works. Thanks for the hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
dang nice, glad zedomax did work. lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
awesome job dude!! beer money on the way..

quick questions..is everyone having this dead call issue...or is just random?? i really need wifi tether...

and which is the wifi tether that is working for most people..

thanks...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tool2269:
Questions is my bootscreen supposed to show a yellow triangle under the galaxy #2 logo?

Also noticing a LONG charge time between 99% to 100%. Why is that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 6 is working great. I haven't received any calls since rooting but I just called a few times between Epic and ET4G and it worked. I think the issue is after sitting a while after a call
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
well i took the plunge...doing some call test now..thanks for the wifitether tip..works perfectly..no 4g here but will try when i get downtown pittsburgh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
This is awesome. I'll def be checking it out. Thanks so much! Your determination paid off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Thank a mil, zedomax!! I've been rooted since last night, and its great having all of my old toys back on my device, along w/ Juwe11's RAM Optimizer script which reduced my RAM usage significantly, even after applying all my root access required apps! Thanks again for all your hard work, looking forwarded to seeing what else is in store for us!

I've been using the one attached w/ no issues! ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Is this call bug a random issue or is everyone encountering it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nobrakes:
Been rooted since last night, haven't had this problem yet. Received couple texts and calls this morning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Yeah... I rooted within moments of the kernel being posted and thankfully I have had no issue so far with phone, data, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enophiledude:
so far so good for me too...fingers crossed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Cool thanx :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
no problems here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
I've had a dead call issue and also tday my radios were just dead and there was a circle in the middle of the notification barr. A reboot fixed the issues each time, but I think it might be a problem. I thing newer kernels will also fix said issues. Still very satisfied
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Just had a bootloop issue. Rebooted and after everything loaded it rebooted 2 more times.

May go back to stock once the kernels available and wait for the bugs to be worked out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Woke up to a strange battery icon on the left saying 100% and a notification saying fully charged to unplug and only have 10% and be in power save mode uggh wtf
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
That battery icon has been there, as for the charging issue, many are having issues with the charger that comes with the phone. I've been using the one from my NS4G with zero issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
Do you have a link to this script and what it is? How did you install it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MILH0U5E:
Got the no signal issue here too. I put it in airplane mode overnight and upon waking this morning the no signal circle was there. I had to do a reboot to get 3g and cell signal back.

Looking forward to seeing this process develop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Hey bro, I live in the Austin area but I haven't rooted the Epic 4G Touch just yet. I am familiar with Odin though. PM me if you need to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I guess I am lucky. My signal is the same as it was. I don't have the calling issue, and my tether is working perfectly. How long did it take for these issues to popup?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spdwiz18:
Rooted 4 12 hours now. No issues so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I thought I read that it was about 30 minutes after a call but I haven't had it happen here yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drmacinyasha:
Excellent work! No issues here on my device.

One request though, for those of us who prefer to use Superuser 3.0 Beta, would it be possible to get a version of the zImage tar with the 3.0-beta2 su binary instead?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
It's most likely a RAM optimization script that you can run via Script Manager...kinda like the "MegaRAM" script (V6 SuperCharger).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17574449

Not sure if this version will work, but here's a link so that you can check it out:

http://mygt540.com/downloads/1020/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It is a RAM optimization script. I haven't tried it myself but I used to use one or the other on my Epic. The version of Juwe's script I was using was flashabe and you didn't have to set it. The V6 script is run using Script Manager and it has plenty of settings options
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chandlerw88:
Everything's working so far exceplt installing cwm broke my root. Prolly gonna chill until all the kinks work out though. Atleast I still have a phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
Yeah, same issue here. I just flashed back to Zedo's kernel and all is working well. Bubby is going to work on CWM in a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yep....I know. I ran it for quite a while. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhtchd2:
no issues so far here.. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mprziv:
Weird, battery drained like 20% overnight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Noticed no matter how many times i charge to 100% the second i pull the charger it drops. Also doesnt seem to be holding like the stock kernel was.

Hopefully the stock gets posted soon cuz Id like to go back to it till the bugs are worked out.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
We'lI just experienced the no call/ no service issue. I went the entire night with no issues. Then a couple of minutes ago, I happened to look at my phone, and there it was the circle with the slash through it...no service at all. I rebooted and everything came back on.

If it wasn't for the big triangle and different bootscreen, I'd take it to sprint and exchange it.

Hopefully this is issue is fixed today or the ability to return back to stock

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

I'm with you on going back to stock. Next time, I'm gonna give it a day or two
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Stock kernel needs to be posted. People need the option to go back to stability......period. What if someone needs to return their device?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Dont get too upset. There was fair warning what chances we took. Also these guys were up non stop doing this. Z already said after he got some sleep he'd post it today for everyone. Just give him some time and he'll get it posted.

It sux right now if your having issues but its fixable with a bit of patience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
I like how people work so hard on this but things should be tested before they are released.I understand people want to be the first but to keep everyone hanging with a broken phone is not cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
exactly....

I know that the other root method breaks heptic feedback, do anyone know if I were to flash that, would I still have the no data/no call issue?

Heck, even if the other root method bootup screen is different in that it doesn't show the yellow triangle or the "Android" bootscreen like this root method, I may can exchange it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
No one is upset. I'm just stating the obvious rule of thumb. You don't post a "do" without an "undo". ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I had heavier battery drain as well but I don't know if it was an app that required root. I had lite flow installed and I think BetterBatteryStats showed it as using a lot of juice. I will definitely monitor this closely
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Being the first to get root was a pretty big deal. I expect future ROM/kernel releases to be tested more thoroughly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
It takes time. Dont be on the cutting edge if you cant handle a few bugs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
Yeah this just happened to me too, everything was fine this morning then I played a game of solitaire and after going back to my home screen I saw the circle. Rebooted phone and everything came back on. It's possible that the circle was there before I played the game of solitaire but I didn't notice until right after I quit playing.

Hopefully it gets straightened out soon. At least rebooting fixes the problem, I can handle rebooting for a little while if needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yes sir...I expect the same. I'm just voicing my opinion, and my opinion is that you should post a "way back" along with your "way in". I built hybrid OS's for BB for years back in the day (actually....I helped revolutionize the mobile Java game) and I always posted a method to get back to a stock OS. It covered my ass many times. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Still no issues for me, thankfully...

I really feel like people should stay away from installing/doing anything from the development forum unless they're willing to mess their phone up. Consider us the testers for things posted. No one here is posting official Samsung/Sprint/Google releases. I knew when I installed that kernel that maybe... just maybe... my new E4T would be dead afterward, lol. Fortunately that didn't happen, but I knew it might (or something in between).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
I can't really deal with the issue of having no service. My daughter has a heart issue and can't afford to miss a call. It's not like I walk around all day literally looking at my phone's screen seeing if I have service or not.

I did reboot...so like your's my service is back up.

But I definitely hope this gets fixed soon. I'd rather have root with broken heptic feedback than the inability to receive calls.

But I'm sure the Op the get it fixed... :D:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I can handle my fair share of bugs. I can't handle people stuck with a broken device. So......go eat a hotpocket, or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m4rk0358:
For something so serious where it's a matter of life and death i would probably advise against rooting your phone the first day root is achieved. You might want to wait a few days or weeks to make sure all of the kinks are worked out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Well if that's the case it should've been listed as a beta or asked for some testers. Then some of us probably wouldn't taken the plunge. Instead, it states a few bugs...but didn't list the bugs either. So I do agree with you to a certain point.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Yeah I know....but I rooted every android phone I've ever had and never had this issue. However when I had the photon, I did have the silent call issue.. but yeah you're right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Well said.

Samsung Galaxy S II
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
No love...

I rooted, but I'm stuck in Airplane mode, and no number of reboots will change it. I got me a useless phone now. :mad:

Any clues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
Heh the device isnt broken merely buggy :p

In anycase, if you followed the development, you would have seen that the only way to root so far was to use a kernel from another SGS II and that there is no way back (at this time).

Perhaps he should put a disclaimer up about these issues, especially the lack of a way back to total stock, but I think they will get addressed in a timely manner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
In my personal opinion... everything here in the Dev section should be taken that way. Nothing (or nearly nothing, in some cases) posted here is an official release by a supported/official/authorized/whatever entity.

Maybe XDA should change all the section names to "<device> Unofficial Android Development", heh.

Regardless... good luck to those of you with issues (and to plmiller0905's daughter specifically).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
I love all these "after the fact" comments that do absolutely nothing, but add insult to injury. Do you walk up to someone that's just been in a car wreck and say "I would probably advise against driving a car until all of the kinks are worked out in the automotive industry"? Lol

I feel bad for you bro. I get it too man....and feel your pain. I've been all excited before and rooted without hesitation (or reading) and been stuck. Hopefully a stock kernel will get posted soon. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] volwrath:
Try reflashing the kernel. Redownload the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lento10:
+1,

Noone is been force to used this root method. If you did, it was on your own risk. Each phone is different and it will perform diferently with the kernel.

hence, some people with problems and others not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yep....that's all I was trying to say. :)

*shares my hotpocket with you*
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
How is it a big deal except for bragging rights? I venture to guess very few can name the dev that rooted the OG Evo. However, I agree more testing and a way to revert back to stock are paramount right now.

I tested almost everything for the Epic community. I am always willing to rest for the devs. I figure that testing and answering questions is a good way for me to contribute. That being said, if you have serious business or a call that you absolutely can't miss, I would wait on rooting for a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m4rk0358:
Yeah ok pal. Awesome comparison.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Toast is a amazing developer. He was partially responsible for reverse engineering the wimax code. Aside from cyanogen himself he's probably the best coder on these boards.

Samsung Galaxy S II
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Someone clarify this for me.

The kernel we have after root is the european kernel correct. So if thats the case then the stock kernel was never aquired. How exactly are we gonna go back to stock if we dont have it to flash? I know "Z" said it was as simple as reversing Su but that does t make much sense since SU was added to a non stock kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lento10:
He is great dev, too bad he is only working on the 3vo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Thanks. Here's another great comparison....my buttocks/your avatar. :)

Anyway....enough arguing. I'm going to see if I can rip the zImage from the system dump.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
No this is built from samsung sources of epic four g touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Ok thank you, just made me feel a whole lot better. And OMG I am so glad to see you on here lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
How do you explain the GT-i9100 boot screen then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpkimmel:
No way this is built from the epic touch 4g source, like he said look at the boot screen, also if it was NOTHING would have been broken...also if there was a compiled kernel from the phone it would be floating around for people to return to stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I think the Samsung's source shipped with GT-i9100 boot screen and they changed it probably for Sprint at the last moment, I suspect the sources Samsung released are a bit older than their final, final version. Well, gonna go work out the kinks now, there's a lot of tweakin' i gotta try and perhaps i will change the boot screen to "zedomax" lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Any quick way to toss up the stock kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
will do but its the same one I used off samsung's site, nothing changed as far as the kernel itself. Didn't touch(snort) a line.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wingzfan:
Ok cool appreciate it.

Wonder why all the data issues and the battery is definitely taking a dump after rooting.

Im assuming after flashing the stock kernel we should be able to do a factory reset without bootlooping.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
Probably not without bricking your phones, so let's just wait to see what happens. Mine is still running fine despite turning off while on screen off mode last night. Maybe the battery drained, I dunno. Lol, thanks zedo for your hard work. Maybe we should hassle samsung for the epic touch kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I think I have kernel debugging on (checking right now) and thats slowing everything. let me try turning it off and recompile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fus3D:
I seriously love this phone, lol. what say all of you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Not that I expect it to amount to much (anything), but I did ask Galaxy S Support and Samsung John for the stock firmware. GSSupport responded that I needed to hook up with John, so... we'll see.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
That guy is still around? I'm really disappointed that they didn't just release the current source... good ole sammy, guess I should've learned from the OG Epic experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Oh...ok. Thanks for the response....and I think a zedomax bootscreen would be pretty sweet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
think i found it, samsung's sources use "ondemand" cpu governor, whereas i believe the stock kernel uses "interactive", trying the interactive now... that might be where performance was lost.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Hey guys. I haven't used my headphones this weekend soI don't know if the button worked before root. My iphone headphones that I had no problem with on my nexus one doesn't work with any of my media apps.

however, a long press activates voice search.

Anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
I can confirm mine isn't working either. I really don't remember using them before I rooted though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetemp75:
They didn't work before rooting. Trust me I have tried all the players and none of them worked.
