i switched back to stock + root for the last 24 hours and i haven't had the android os bug or any LOS yet. i'll give it a few more days and flash zedomax again and see if any of my problems come back. if they do i'll flash again to stock and if the problems go away then i'll know for sure that my phone doesn't like this kernel.

from what i remember setcpu and samsung sometimes don't get along well. so next round i'll try a different oc app.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PsycloneTW:
My experience exactly, LOS, but no indication in the notification that LOS had actually occurred. Though I stopped at V3 and went to bubby's. I'm not meaning to call Zedo's efforts crap, without them we wouldn't have root but clearly there was something there that caused issues on certain phones.

I find it interesting that some phones seem more sensitive than others i.e. some have LOS on out of the box stock, some don't see LOS until a rooted, non stock kernel. I'd be interested to see if those who saw LOS on out of the box stock do or don't experience LOS on Bubby's kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Is the encrypt function something that is kernel based?

I encrypted my phone and now its broken unless I odin the stock kernel.

Can you put this back into a future kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
same here so far. 1 week stock, no problems. friday flashed zedo - android os draining battery and LOS. back to bubby's stock and 36hrs no problems.

if it's not the kernel and our phones not acting well with it then it's one heck of a coincidence. or something just goes wonky with flashing process.

i'll have to do another few days on stock then a few more days with the oc kernel before i'm convinced that the kernel is not getting along with my phone.

btw i didn't oc at all while on this kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
There is nothing can be done right now to do stop it from happening if it happens to you. Unless you figure out the bug and how to fix it, it's going to continue to happen until the official fix rolls out.

No amount of data reset, etc is going to fix it. I've literally done every "fix" on these forums and got the bug this morning around 11 am. Just be patient. If you can't be patient, take the phone back and exchange it for a 3D or Photon and stop ****ting up the forums with your crap.

It's not related to root. It's happened to me both completely stock and rooted and overclocked. It's something radio related, not just kernel related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
troubleshooting and discussing bugs is part of solving the problem. so either contribute or gtfo.

there may be something that can be found out that doesn't require an official fix than may or may not come this year... remember this is samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
All I'm saying is, people need to stop ****ting up a thread about this kernel with LOS bug crying. Go into the 10 other threads on the subject and talk about it there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
If it is radio related, I would have it everyday, not just when I flash a custom kernel. We need a stock base incorporated in v5 to end this fighting, like tonight. And our Dev is awesome, he is just going through some hardship with whatever his business is.

None of us would have root if it wasn't for him. So let him get it done on his own time. The phone runs fine on stock, so everyone needs to quit *****ing. Just wait.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
So when I got it on completely stock not even rooted, what does that mean? How on earth could it be this kernel if it wasn't anywhere near my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
i'm hoping it's not a hardware defect.

maybe next time i try the kernel i'll set the governor to conservative. maybe on demand is causing some of the screwiness with some of the phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
I have to disagree.. I had the LOS problem, did the data reset through the ##72786# and then typing in my msl and it was gone. I haven't lost signal since which has been close to a week. I did have to reflash the kernel once due to some experimenting and when I reflashed it I had to do the data reset again. But again, after doing it I had no issues. So to say that it wont help is not true... more like it didn't help you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
I've had mine since the 15th and it's happened a whopping three times to me. It happened the second day I had it, then like 10 days later, then today.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
I don't know what you are implying, but I don't have the LOS problem unless I FLASH A NEW KERNEL. Stock has been fine for me, coming from v1. Not one reboot required, and my phone has gone into roaming multiple times. (At school).

Maybe it could be area related? I'd like to get it figured out, instead of just getting people complaining about it lol.

According to Super User 3.0, this kernel is improperly using root. It claims SU is in /sbin/su and shouldn't be there. I'm not an expert but this is apparently going to cause some grief if we need to update the su binary in the future.

From ChainsDD's web site at http://androidsu.com/

An update: Do not upgrade to SuperUser 3.0 with this kernel. Any attempt to allow root access and remember will fail. SuperUser will not enable the remember button and until it can update the su binary and that won't happen for the above reason.

BTW - still love Zedo's work - more annoyed by SuperUser.

Dumb question, I just got my lovely epic touch and looking to root ( sorry coming from the EVO 3d and rooting seems to be way different) but anyways just saw there is other thread with "how to root kernel" do I used that method to root the phone first and than flash this. Or just flash this kernel?

Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
Thanks Zedomax in advance,

I have not yet rooted my device but only have a couple of questions. The only reason I really want to root is to use some of the rooted apps I had on my Optimus S. I am so elated by the phones speed aready that the OC'ing at the moment really doesn't matter to me. WhatI would do is underclock while I am at work then raise it afterwards since I work in a facility where phones are not allowed.

Rooted apps I want to run is Titanium Backup, Hotspot Widget, Adfree, Overclock Widget, CacheCleaner...just little things like that. I love the phone just how it is...all I want is that basic root ability with the stock feel.

My Questions

1. Has all OEM functionality been confirmed working? Bluetooth, Wifi, Driving mode with voice functions?

2. What is the battery life in comparison to the original kernal? Im loving it and not wanting to mess that up.

Thanks again in advance...and I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the E4GT community.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
The stock kernel does this too tho. I had this happen to me twice yesterday and it seems to occur for me anyway after making a call. Make a call, hang up, no data and it doesnt restore. Toggling 3G off and on gets it going again for me anyway so it sure sounds like this is a bug out of the box.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Check your pm please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
Maybe you all should try this from the other page in the forum

The MSL can be found by downloading "terminal emulator" and typing "getprop ril.MSL" It is case sensitive.

From there, go to the phone, and type ##72786# , at the SCRTN screen select yes, let the phone reboot, let the activation go through its thing NOT TOUCHING THE SCREEN unless it tells you to. Let it do a reboot again.

This will do everything in OPs post without so much hassle.

So you ask people to stop ****ting up a thread and then you procede to '****' it up? FWIW, I had a friend on prekernel 5 and he was out of town for 4 days and was ready to pitch the phone due to LOS multiple times / day. I put the stock root on his and have had zero (and zero on mine) LOS.

Not sure if its the kernel or sprints ****ty service, i use ****ty because I live in the Chicago land area and I should have no issues with any provider. I don't get calls sometimes, my GF will call it will ring on her end but nothing will happen on my end. If I try to call when she is calling the top bar will stay green and it will be impossible to end the call unless I turn the phone off.

Like I said idk if its the phone, service, or kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ms79723:
If you want to prevent the phone from dropping to 96% while on the charger, and just trickle charge on 100%...go to the sec_battery.c file and change the recharge voltage from 4150 to 4190 or something. 4190 is still about 99%....but it increases the likelihood of you pulling it off the charger and it beigng 100% rather than 96-98%.

haha yeah I did jump on board..and what I posted earlier will be SBC for this phone haha...and which Evo? I've been workin on SBC on the 3D. Just AOSP kernels though, I know I can do it trickle charging on 99%, 100% is a different story. Gotta look into that. I might just put out a beta kernel for the 3D that does 99% trickle charging on USB soon though. That way if you want the normal charging, just put it in the wall.

This kernel is based straight off samsung's open sources, too bad samsung didn't give us the code off the final sprint phone. If only things were really "open source", that would make our lives easier. They even left i9100 boot logo for godsakes on the kernel source.

MHL Output.

I pretty much popped this on straight out the box, and it seems to be great. But in the phone specs it says I should be able to sling video out to a tv via an MHL adapter... it doesn't seem to be working. Could this be an issue in the kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Oops, I must have forgot to enable it in the kernel, v5 will have it, sorry about that, ordering an MHL adapter now for testing.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
v4 is off bubby's stock kernel and v4.1 is with that plus GPU overclocking to 400Mhz from 267Mhz, makes ur GPU run faster for those who must be faster than everyone else.

I flashed v4 (without GPU overclock), and this seems much smoother than stock for some reason. My transitions aren't lagging, even when I am using it with the USB cable connected. My WiFi tether works, and I have the new SU with ZERO problems.

CWM should be fully stable to do backups/restores correct?

I have no problem giving credit where it is due. And before I flashed this, if I put my phone in airplane mode, and I would get the LOS (v1), but I just did it and everything came back no problems. I even sent a few text messages to myself and they all went through. Great job man.

hey all,

just odin'ed the 4.1beta. i came from v3 of the kernel.

under 'about phone' it says kernel version is 4.1beta so i guess i did something right :)

does any1 else get the yellow triangle and ! sign when they turn on their phone? it has the samsung logo with the model #. this is before the custom boot animation. im working if cwm is working right for me. who i can vol-up and power to get into cwm 4.1.

my SU is v3.0(35)

su binary v3.0-beta2, but it fails to update due to the /sbin/su path error.

am i doing something wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asafegous:
Odin bubby's root method. Flash his su in CWR. Then come back here and flash the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
SU error is normal but it will not do anything other than not being able to update su binaries, not a big deal since u can still run any rooted apps, will be updated in v5beta. Sorry i am going beta now, i don't want to post officials for "regular" users. This is only for tweakers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
That won't work cause my su files write over any su files on other kernels. But yes, updating this on v5.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
This goes for anyone who comes through this way:

You probably shouldn't factory reset with custom kernels, because this is what happens ;)

Anywho, if you have a nandroid backup, i'd use that to restore to before you flashed the kernel.

Alternatively you can flash any of the roms in the development section (i believe our big 3 right now is starburts, AEMod and Midnight).

Either will fix your bootloop problem.

I am trying to root my phone for thr second time using SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3. The first attempt bricked my phone (first time I experienced that) and Sprint replaced it. The instructions say that you should see com port 20 in the Odin3v1.85 com window after connecting the phone in download mode.

However, mine says com 3, which is what it said when I bricked it. The message window says:

Well you may want to wait for other responses besides mine but that sounds good. Make sure your flashing using the PDA section and that the only boxes checked are the PDA box and the auto reboot box. You should be using a tar file only. No pit file needed. Good luck.
