Could the stock splah and stock boot animation be put back into the stock kernel tjat i guys are cooking up?....jist incase for some of us if are phones dont cooperate with us....thanks zedo....good friggen work man...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
I couldn't see anything on my external, only internal.

As far as the LOS thing, I agree, I think it's a Samsung/Sprint thing and it'll get worked out. My service went from perfect to terrible at my house 3 weeks ago and I attributed it to all of the storms we get and though maybe something had happened to a tower. Either way it's nothing I haven't dealt with already, my NS4G's radio was terrible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
i've not rooted yet and haven't had any data/voice issues yet. i've been all around charleston/columbia/newberry and all points in between this weekend and had no problems keeping connection. are there different phone versions with one being more prone to the loss?

mine is hardware d710.10

baseband S: D710.10S.EG30

PRL 60681
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Plus guys remember sprint has been having horrible signal issues as of late ...

So it might not even be a phone issue itself ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] superhtchd2:
not sure if its related to zedo's kernel or anything.. but when i go into setcpu and set it too 1600 and hit set on boot, it defaults back to 800 i believe if i reboot the phone, anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CapnBry:
I had the same problem last night. My battery was draining like mad (~15%/hr) while just sitting on the table with the display off. I also noticed it was sticking at 1000MHz. Setting to "power saving" then back to "ondemand" in SetCPU got it back to scaling again. I have SetCPU but had left everything default for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpkimmel:
can we please get the stock kernel with boot animation and sound please, we have been asking for days....please
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
All other phones on my account have no signal issues....I don't think it's the network that is causing data loss issue on this device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
I don't think it's all phones, it definitely seems E4T-specific... but I don't think it has anything to do with the rooting/etc that we've been doing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
There is a good chance that these things are supposed to drop today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
What's supposed to drop? New firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] runner77:
I doubt this is the case, otherwise my Evo and original Epic would be having the same signal problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Sorry quoted the wrong post. A NEARLY stock kernel and a fix for the data issues in a V3....hopefully being released today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpkimmel:
The stock should be uploaded with the altered one. I honestly believe they haven't uploaded it because it not truly a ET4G source being used. The stock kernel should have the splash screen and also the stock boot animation...and a few other things.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Someone else may know more, but I'm not sure that the triangle part will go away with a true stock kernel (obviously the phone identification would/should be fixed).

The triangle may be tied to somewhere on some partition where it stores info about the use of download/odin mode. If that's the case, it may only go away when we have full device release firmware that could be completely flashed in as if it were a fresh install.

XDA MANTRA

XDA POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
ARGH!

So basically I am stuck until stock kernal and rom are released. No 3G/4G/ or GPS, WiFi Works. No apps will work except stock apps, anything else FC's. Even stock browser doesnt work. Cant update PRL or Profile on wifi, need network. Basically have a brick, with limited functionality. Prior to installing this hack, phone was perfect, not one dropped call, or loss of data, or FC. I understand the risk I took, and im not complaining. just want to make others aware, to beware, until these issues are fixed. Hopefully tomorrow.

Thank god I still have my OG Epic, I guess I'll call sprint tomorrow, and get it reactivated. This Sucks!

Negative, tried that, phone is in airplane mode, whenevwer I uncheck it, it tries, but will not uncheck. there is nothing I can do to get it out of airplane mode, unless I can odin stock Kernal and rom. Hoping to see someone drop it today, if not, to the sprint store tonight, and no more playing until we get something stable, or at least a way to get back to stock. I am coming from an OG Epic, that I have rooted, w/ my own version of GB, so I am very familiar withn odin, clockwork, ect. :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
I Disagree .. although it was a bit harsh but its the truth. I believe the person who he was talking to was rude. Basically calling this guys hard work a mess. Noone told him he had to root his phone yet he's complaining. I for one am happy/grateful someone is even stepping up to the plate and attempting to get our phones rooted.

Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hacre:
He's right though? The phone has barely been out for five minutes and yet everyone is zerg rushing the development section and flashing everything they can get their hands on. That behaviour can be summed up in one word: STUPID.

The very first post in this thread contains:

When someone comes out with a prototype you test and report back, you don't assume it'll work then ***** like a moron. There's nothing stopping any of you from creating a dump of the kernel on the phone before flashing experimental stuff.

Oh, a note for the OP zedomax, that OC code came from the kernel in my signature, not Neophyte.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
thats what we really need/// before all the custom roms and kernals, ect. If we can get that, it would make alot of the bickering about issues go away, because they can always odin to stock. :d
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
Have you tried the MSL reset so that the phone can reprovision itself?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Need to pester and/or wait for Samsung to give it to us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Nah - here's the reality. XDA is not here for the user's - it's called XDA Developers for a reason.

Read the Policy Announcement to get a feel for why XDA is here.

(begin paraphrase from a former Senior Moderator)

This is not a site to make people popular. I don't care how many people use a specific kernel/ROM/mod/hack/bicycle - act like a fool and demand something from a developer who has put their time and energy and effort - and you deserve to be called out for it. The rules are here for a reason. You either follow them or leave, your choice.

What XDA is:

XDA is a developers site

XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only

XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relavent info. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix".

What XDA is NOT:

XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.

XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.

XDA is not your friends house

XDA is not a democracy

XDA is not a place to make Money.

XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.

XDA has become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to s**t. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question because they dont know what they are doing (this is understand, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.

[/end paraphrase]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
Lets try to relax a little. There is some really good developing going on here and these issues will be fixed soon.....i have faith in the developers....also i know they have been talking and working together. Keep in mind these guys have school and jobs that's why there isn't updates every hour. It takes time to trouble shoot and redo the code.

The last thing we want to do is get this thread closed because then a lot of will really get screwed.

I have nothing to offer and try to post as little as possible, but just wanted to stand up for those of us (who are many) who are extremely happy and extremely thankful to sit down, shut-up, and patiently be provided with the tidal wave of winsauce these devs are providing the community.

Much appreciated fellas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
I noticed that issue on the previous version but since flash v2 my battery has been great! It only drop about 4% overnight compared to 20% the 1st night of being rooted lol...also I've use RandomKing's superfreeze mod, manually, and that too helps a great deal w/ bat life. DRM, SNS, and SYSTEM UPDATES are battery draining services that can frozen thru Android Terminal, type the following commands to change their status to disabled:

su (Gains root)
pm disable com.sec.android.providers.drm (Disables DRM launcher)
pm disable com.sec.android.app.sns (Disables sns)
pm disable com.samsung (Disables updates)

***EDITED***And they only need to be applied once, they remain DISABLED until you manually re-enter the commands w/ ENABLE in place of where you'd enter DISABLE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
When do the services reset? After a reboot or do you have to re-enable them again through Android Terminal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Nope! That's whats so good about it, you need only apply once!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
at least he's not running around deleting posts and banning people like the e3d forums for posting off topic.

sprint's data has been very bad in south carolina around the major cities i've been to - spartanburg, columbia, charleston... but in the rural areas - chapin, newberry... the data speed actually improved on the day after i returned my e3d. i get up to 1.8Mb/s down in some areas an no less than 600kb/s.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
on phone with sprint to get msl... Cannot run any apps, because they all fc. I have the connectbot apk, but everything fc's... Will get there... I love a challenge. Whatever i can do to contribute.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
Great info, so Samsung won't be telling me I have an update (when/if they decide to push one out? Because those updates usually break root..

:)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Geronimo.USMC:
I would like this as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mypd1991:
What's up zedo, OK so I flashed the v2 with clockwork and when you charge and turn off the phone, after a little it will turn back on, don't know if someone already posted this just wanted to let you know in case you didnt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Geronimo.USMC:
Me as well. Thats 4 people and counting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Known and confirmed among some users... I'm not sure if it was happening before rooting or not. Zedo hasn't commented on it yet, though I know he said the voice/data thing is his current priority.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Look i like the work they are doing and i hope a fix for the issue will come out.But in the end a way back to stock is the most important.I just got that stupid text error message of 8737 no idea why that started up had not had 1 since root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Awesome, I'll have to give this a shot. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
That text error message I know doesn't have anything to do with root. I am not rooted and received this message at least 4 times after a reactivation from Sprint release day. I just blacklisted 8737 with my message app.

....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Yeah, I believe it has something to do with Google Voice in some fashion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asqwrd:
Do you know what the services are for because I dont want to disable sumthin that is important to the system
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaybizza:
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER!!! READ...READ..READ... O.P..."FLASH AT OWN RISK"!!!! YOU DON'T SEE A WAY BACK TO STOCK THEN "DON'T FLASH"!!! and STOP CRYING..I HATE WHINERS..ESPECIALLY ONES WHO DONT CONTRIBUTE..DAMN LEECHES!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Exactly!! One thing I failed to mention is being that the phone will no longer be automatically updating itself, if you are going to reactivate the phone by re-entering the MSL into #72786#, which updates PRL and Profile, make sure to re-enable SYSTEM UPDATE otherwise your phone will remain w/o service and will not reactivate itself. Just type "pm enable com.samsung" instead of "pm disable com.samsung" and it'll be fine!...Also, I don't use Facebook at all but Im pretty sure the SNS service effects FB, so if your Facebook stops working after disabling SNS, do the same and just replace "disable" w/ "enable" in the command.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pheno.menon:
Have you tried doing a factory reset? That fixed all my post-MSL problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
If you notice that something is no longer working after applying these commands you can reapply them and just replace "disable" w/ "enable."Only difference that I've notice is more RAM space and better battery life :D!... SYSTEM UPDATE service is self-explanatory; SNS service I believe effects Facebook but I don't use FB so I wouldn't know if it really changes the way the app runs by freezing this service; and DRM service is digital rights protection and should not affect your system at all unless you delete it, then you'll run into issues playing back some video files but just freezing it should only free up RAM space and battery performance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
What is SNS exactly?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] janitorjohnson:
The problem I keep having is every few hours I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on because I lose all of my data connection apparently.

Any fixes for that. A couple times updating the prl or profile worked too, but its just a little annoying. I have not yet put the recovery on it yet, but I am running the overclocked kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hacre:
If only there were some way to find these things out...

Everything was working fine when I flashed this now my phone goes into a boot loop after I did #786. And I try wiping factory incwm nothing please help new to samsung
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
If the users left and all that was left was devs you'd have a ghost town.

No forum is immune to a mass exodus. Id suggest choosing your words a little more carefully. The last thing you want is a user revolt. It never ends well for the forum owner.

I know this is a thankless job. I own a couple of huge forums as well and its a crappy job no one appreciates but again, last thing you want is an exodus of users.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
For those of you who want custom animation back, i think i can do it if someone with a stock phone can pull the image files.

Can someone with a nonrooted stock phone do this in adb:

adb pull /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg

adb pull /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg

and post these two files?

Then I think we can get stock bootup back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JeffR714:
Great job seconds this is running excellent goddamn amazing

Reflash V2 in odin and you should be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BiggDavin:
Possible brick?

So, after flashing v2 kernel, the phone boots to a black screen, seemingly bricked. A reboot just posts the 'android' boot animation then black screen again. I tried reflashing the kernel and still the same result... Any thoughts that might help to get this bad boy up and running again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
lmao...I've reached my THANKS limit for the day, but thanks man I really needed that, especially after having posted a pretty detailed description!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
Still Nuthin!

ok, well I got the MSL, not familiar with terminal, have connect bot, but ALL Apps FC as I mentioned earlier, so couldnt get it that way.

anyways, i do the ##786# , Reset, enter MSL, and I get an error that says modem exception occurs. I have tried every modem on xda, and every one gets same error. havent gotten service since i flashed yesterday, and I had to reactivate my OG epic until i get this workin...

ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYONE, OR AM I SCREWED UNTIL ODIN STOCK COMES OUT?

I did choose phone instead of PDA by accident, and it failed, I held power button to escape, and then used PDA. Could that have screwed me up?:confused:

That was my fault.:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
did u try reflashing the kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
Tried fix_permissions from recovery?

If your old phone is activated how can that one connect to do anything with Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fbyers59:
It appears to be

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
Ive wiped all data, dalvic, ect. Ive reflashed, redownloaded, reflashed v2 like 5 times now. Ive tried Bubbys kernals, both v4, and v5.

Ive flashed the zImage from Calk,

I even tried V1 of the ZedoMax... Nuthin will get 3G working.

Its the Circle of Death!!!!!

I go ##786#, view, FC every time.

I go ##768#, Reset, "Modem Exception Occurs" Every Time, Every modem...

Ive even restored through CWM, and nuthin, Ive Wiped, Advanced Data restore Nuthing, all kernals on here... Im Stuck...

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

I swithced back to new epic for purpose of getting up and going. the guy at the store is getting frusterated, because he keeps switching back, done 2x now.

I did try fix permissions in CWM... it appeared to work, until i rebooted, and wasnt working.

forgot to add WiFi does work~!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
i got the same problem what u need to do is go to stock recovery not cwm and do the factory data reset. volume up + power button to go to stock recovery. by the way home button is ok.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
Go to cwm, wipe data 3 times, cache 3 times and then go to advanced and format system and then restore. I had the same issue yesterday.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
If you flashed bubba's, it means you flashed SU as a zip file in CWM (if you did) then if you flash my kernel (Which installs SU on every reboot), you will get a bunch of force closes, I will have to post a kernel without root and make people flash SU from CWM from now on, I think that's probably what's happening to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
When you say every modem, what do you mean? There are no modems available for the E4T now, aside from what comes on the device already.

I might be thinking of something else, but isn't it supposed to be ##72786# then hit yes, let it reboot, leave it the F alone unless prompted to hit ok, eventually it will reboot again? I haven't had to do it, but I kind of remember.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I grabbed them out of the system dump and pushed them onto my phone, looks like they're the same ones as were on the phone. Guess I should have dumped the contents of my phone before rooting. I figured someone else would have already. I have a new phone on the way (to be delivered Friday) and can pull files from it when it arrives.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
on V2...

In CWM... wiped, all 3 3x...

go to advanced... how do I format system from there?

I have the following options.

reboot recovery, wipe dalvic, wipe battery, report error, key test, show log, partition sd, fix permissions...

nothing about formating system... unless im missing something. I do appreciate your help~! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
To be clear... the E4T is the active phone on your line, right? You can switch back and forth easily on the Sprint site.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fordmanck:
Mounts and storage, sorry going by memory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Yea, Joshbeach, have you tried ##72786# instead? You need the MSL though if you are going to try it, which if you download and install Android Terminal from the Market, or if you need it let me know and I will post it, then type, su(for root perm), then getprop ril.MSL(exactly as shown, with MSL as capital letters, and a space b/w getprop and ril.MSL) and write down the numbers. Then do ##72786#, enter the MSL and the let it do its thing...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jimbobtexas:
Pretty sure that's what I did, too. You're screwed. Take it back to the Sprint store, and play dumb. Tell 'em it just started doing that crazy stuff all by itself...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmbatson:
Hey I just pulled it from my stock epic (i purposfully bricked my old touch because i banged up the edges by dropping it when i got out of my truck.

first time ADB pulling or using adb.... but im trying to do atleast something for the community. I placed it on my megaupload since i dont have dropbox.

hope it helps. let me know if you need anything else pulled because i am ready to root with your kernal!

Megaupload
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
I took the ones out of the system dump posted a week ago, and replaced the ones that are now installed on my phone with them, BUT I still get the i9000 boot screen and the ASOP splash screen...if you can get them to work, please do, I've uploaded them to my Mediafire account, here ya go!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Mine did this last night.

Reflash the V1 kernel

Go into the Stock Recovery

Do a Wipe/Data Reset or whatever it's called

Reboot

This will wipe all your data and configurations, applications, etc. It may also come up with the re-provisioning screen that does the PRL and Profile Updates that you saw when you first booted the phone on Day 1. Let it do all that work before doing anything else, do not cancel it.

You can reflash V2 back on top after it's done and you've rebooted.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoshBeach:
Yes, for now... but thanks, i didnt know that you could do it on their site.:)

So i just flashed V2 and it seems to break GPS...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Just did a little research, the stock kernel uses the bootsamung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files but the compiled kernels here are using images found in framework-res.apk/assets/images for the boot images.
