Why not use the stock kernel that Bubby, Ninpo, Leatherneck and I pulled out? The code is newer than the code Samsung released to their sources repo? Also, by doing this you will eliminate the ***** ass whiners that say your kernel causes LOS. This = because, well it was pulled from a stock phone, it wont be doing anything different than a stock phone should do aside from your enhancements.

i've had two of the major bugs since flashing the kernel. LOS and Android OS consuming excessive power.

i can't blame the kernel yet, but i am going to flash back to stock to see if anything changes.

i've had a week stock without a single issue and the night of flashing i had the android os bug and this morning i've had the LOS bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bsmoove386:
Well I used the kernel from Bubbys I havent experienced any LOS but I do have an android os bug it seems like my battery life was lasting at least 10 hrs but now it seems to reach below 50% in less than 6 hours.

Read through this tread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269282 It has a few different posts that go over a few different ways to reset data and such. But beware. It is my feeling that our phones are not properly programming over the air and this is the base of the LOS issue. I could be wrong but this is just my feeling.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
ok, so I got adb installed and working...it's a little hit or miss. Sometimes it says "device offline" and a have to unplug the usb cable and plug it back in. It recognizes the serial number just fine everytime though. Also it is not recognizing the phone as having root access. On Bubby's kernel it does. Anyone else expierencing this?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Factory reset in CWM deletes everything off of your phone. Congratulations on your first bricked device.

Now, you need to flash a new ROM from your SD card, or wait for the factory tar file. (The stock one is just a kernel). It should be around 200mb.

A mod/developer needs to put a post up for newcomers on what to do and not what to do. Not everyone is familiar with the recoveries or how things work.

I know how to work tar files, in Odin. but i have no idea how to get one of these Rom off my SD card on to my phone with it Bricked! (THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Ok, remove your battery and try to get to your recovery screen. If you can't do that, go to Sprint and play dumb lol.

If you get to the recovery screen, mount your phone to your computer and look for a beta ROM to use, then save it on the root of the SD card (no folders or anything). Then, wipe cache, dalvik cache and Factory reset (already done lol).

Flash, and you should be good to go. Whatever ROM you decide to use, it is probably experimental. But it is better than nothing. And if they are using a Zedomax kernel (which most likely gives you Loss Of Signal), then go into Odin, and flash the stock one.

You can still go into Sprint if this fails you, so don't freak out lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhtchd2:
i sometimes get that, just try and open and close it a few times. if that doesnt work usually uninstall/reinstall gets it working again. as for quadrant do you have it set to 1600/1600? sometimes you have to test it 2-3 times back to back and see what your best score of the 3 is.

and for LOS, i was getting this with mine.. sometimes once a day other times 2-3 time, been running zedo's since i bought the phone. i called sprint and explained the issue to a tech, he refreshed my data by basically sending a signal to the phone and it popped up on my screen like please wait, yadda yadda.. then after about a minute said prl updated.. he said it was similiar to updating prl manually in the phone but slightly different .. i dunno, either way since he has done it i have had no issues with LOS.. going on 2 days now! so not sure if it worked or just been lucky.

Yes, sir. If you can't get into your CWM screen, wait for the factory tar file. Which can't be too far away.

Everyone is telling you to flash JUST a kernel, you cleared everything, kernel and stock ROM.

Find a Sprint store for a swap, or say you lost it and pay 100 bucks (if you have insurance). Or wait for the file.

Sorry man, that sucks. :/

Me too. Stock phone. Had phone since release day and had LOS yesterday for an hour. First time. Lasted about an hour.

Anyway, I don't know much about Android yet (this is my first device) except what I've read this past week. I really want to root my phone for, if nothing else, wifi sharing and installing AdFree. If I can do that, with no issues or glitches, I'm happy. Would flashing bubby323's ClockworkMod Recovery tar file and then flashing what he suggests to get root (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip flashed through CWM) be the safest most stable way to go right now?

If so, are there any instructions on how to flash that zip file using ClockWorkMod?

Sorry if this a dumb inquiry.

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
I dont see anyone flaming and casting blame on any of the devs here. People are reporting it TO devs and wondering if its something related to the root method (usually new people who just flashed something) or kernels here. I see no need for a "shame on you" post, specially on such a new device when there is indeed bugs to be worked out still (be it by the devs or less unlikely by Sprint/Samsung lol). You know ive also been wondering, is the reason that were having reception issues because this phone was made with their new network changes in mind? I mean its possible that they could have just stuck us with some crappy prl's and radios just to tide us over until the upgraded 3g network hits in a month or so. Obviously just a thought ive thrown in my head with no real way to verify (except waiting).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
If you don't care about CWM/Overclock, you can flash Bubby's Return to stock over V3 and still have root/no triangle. I did it and have had no LOS, no battery drain, best way to go at the moment IMO.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fattires:
I was one who thought the LOS was not at all related to this kernal, now I have changed my mind, with v3 of Zedomax kernal I had LOS 8 times in one day, back to stock and it has happened once in 3 days. Before root it was once in 4 days. I know it happens on stock too but no where near as often.

Also with Zedomax with LOS there is no 3G icon but still have signal bars but have no service. On stock with LOS i get the circle with the bar through it and no 3g icon or signal icon.

Just my experiance FWIW

Ok so why then am i on v4 which is the same as v3 not much different and between v4 and v3 i have had 1 in 5 days? 1 time in 5 days and none in the last 3.So now you tell me if it is the kernel why is not not happening to me?

Similar experience here though I was on stock for 6 days until v3 came out. While on stock I had great battery, zero LOS. roughly 36 hours into having V3, battery started sucking like Monica Lewinsky and I got LOS. I had no idea how long the LOS was occurring.

I flashed back to rooted stock using Bubby's kernel 2 days ago, no battery drain, no LOS. I'm not saying that full stock phones haven't had LOS since there are documented cases but clearly something in these custom kernels is exacerbating the issue.

I'm confident it'll all get worked out, particularly once a full stock rom emerges but just wanted to post my experience.

Use odin to flash which file, use what kernel, and what order...? I know you are the man and I still owe you a donate, let me know what you think. And this v4, what will it do?

I flashed V3 a few days ago and have been running mostly problem free since then, excellent battery life, sick speed (at 1500 MHz, haven't tried 1600 there's just no point).

Only problem I have is that it consistently fails to resume from airplane mode. When I uncheck "airplane mode" it just doesn't do it, 4G icon comes on but airplane icon remains and no signal. Requires reboot of the phone (with yellow triangle showing during the reboot). Is this the same as the "LOS" bug? I haven't experienced any random loss of signal, only when trying to resume from airplane mode.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
No, LOS will remove your signal bars and 3G or 4G icon from your top bar and all you will see in your top bar is a zero with a line across it like a ghost busters sign.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ackattacker:
OK. I can live with the airplane mode bug since I can just power down the phone when I fly anyway (I fly quite a bit... I'm an airline pilot). I'm curious though if this is unique to me or just unreported since most people don't use airplane mode very much. Anybody else have this problem?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cruton:
I'll sum up my story of LOS here, hopefully it's useful. Got this phone on launch day. I waited one week to root it. During this week it had zero LOS.

I then flashed Zedomax v3 and at least once a day data and voice over 3g(maybe 4g, I don't live in a 4g area) would stop working. It would show the reception bars but service was still lost. Only a reboot would bring it back online.

Then I flashed Zedomax v4 beta. Same LOS situation.

Then I followed the instructions on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1273730 and I've been running it for over a day without problems.

I very grateful to Zedomax for creating this, I wouldn't have root without it. I don't mean to attack anyone or argue with anyone on the nature of this LOS problem. I just want add a possibly useful information.

thanks
