Well then im glad that he probably didnt compile it correctly to avoid hard bricking the poor testers phone lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Wake his ass up!!!!!!! lol no worries guess we'll just have to wait til he's back from the dead then!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
I was one of the ones bricked. Thanks to Ninpo we figured out a way to un-brick using heimdall on windows of all things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Tim, the ACS mirror man, has a local copy that decompiles. Whem. Working on mirrors now guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anubis13:
This could be some of the best, fastest dev work for any Android device I've seen. Thanks to all involved for this awesome work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtimmah:
I agree, very exciting to see. I refresh xda a few times hourly just to keep up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
Any idea how long it'll be before its posted up again? And the only reason Im asking is cause I've got work at 7am so if it'll be w/in the next hr I'll wait up, if not I'll check back in the morning...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
Out of curiosity, did you put su in after dumping or before?

I realized that you could have probably taken a kernel-rooted phone, rooted the system, then dumped that and flashed it to a virgin phone.

Also, a lot of thanks for this should go to gtg465x - He's the one that led the Rogers Infuse dump efforts.

Might've been an attempt to pull the files using cp or tar - we tried to do that once with the Infuse when the Rogers variant came out, it didn't go so well when someone flashed the built system image...

It's nice that once you have a full stock Odin/Heimdall backup, you can basically unbrick any device unless you hardbricked it with a bad bootloader flash. Samsung seems to be protecting their bootloaders more carefully now, so it's damn near impossible to hardbrick newer Samsung phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
The mirrors are now all working just fine. Sorry about that guys. The tar should now be flashable and able to boot your phone just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
The original dump came from my rooted phone. Then that dump was flashed to the virgin phone, then dd of p5 to get the virgin zimage. Worked like a charm after we figured out we had to re-parse the original dump!

Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
What happened was we had two people with an Epic 4G Touch. One of them had rooted there phone, we dd if'ed his system partition (keeping ext4 sparse). The other person had a virgin, non-rooted, non-modded phone. We uploaded the tar we created with factoryfs.img, and he Odin-ed it. It booted. He had root and still had the stock kernel. Then we just pulled the stock kernel with dd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
I can confirm this now works. Just flashed it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
You guys are the best! works like a charm!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
Interesting, I'm still rooted.

EDIT: If you are coming from root using bubby's method, root will persist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bushdiverq:
I lost my root with the flash. Looks completely stock. Awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] C3jay:
i still have super user and cant uninstall it but im completely stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KOKJ:
You're awesome bubby. Thanks a ton.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] apexi350z:
To the people that had LOS problem, when you flash this original kernel back, are you still experiencing LOS? I may need to wait a while to get this answer...

Good work guys with providing original kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bushdiverq:
What was Bubby's method?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Definitely lost root with this, thanks bubby!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
The one where you flashed his CWM kernel first, then used CWM to install Superuser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zayin101:
Saweet!! Worked "like butta" first time.. SU is still there but SetCPU reports no root access.. OC profiles are gone.. will begin watching for any LOS starting now! Thankx to all the kick ass Devs who have grinding away on this, cant wait to see what comes out next!!

i hate to sound like a dumbass, bit where exactly is the file? i when to the site and downloaded a bubby323-stock-initramfs-eb30-epic-4g-touch-49f1c04.gz file. I removed the .gz at the end of the file and flashed but got an error. what im i doing wrong. thanks a lot by the way guys
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bushdiverq:
Man, you guys rock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Lol, you flash this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WalleO:
LOL. I saw my mistake. i went back and read line by line, and i saw the file in the other forum. thank you soo much for responding to me anyways. i really appreciate it. thank you thank you thank you sir!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dharris007:
hmmm... I am seeing the kernel version as EG30, but still seem to have su access? WiFi Tether, SetCPU, ShootMe all given SU access and seem to be working... thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WalleO:
same here. still got SU even though the flash was successful
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
You were using my kernel and flashed the su.zip which give you root inside /system and is not connected to the kernel. So you have root until you flash a different rom. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dharris007:
Cool... that works for me! Thanks for the work and the quick reply!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
so happy to lose the yellow sign and get back stock boot :D thank you :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
How's it goin:)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dj21o:
This worked like a charm, thank you for doing this!

Tomorrow I will see if I run into the data problems with the towers. This broke my root, and I am completely fine with that for now. :)

No offense to anyone but stock kernel rite now is the best and now we can have stock with root I couldn't ask for more thank u!

flash bubbly's root, then reflash this and you have root again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
just flashed over zedo v3, i still got root! but i do get the galaxy s2 boot image, forgot, thats right right?

Just flash zedo then this, u get a perfectly stock but with root, at this point.

bubby, i put su in system/xbin and system/bin u need to erase those in the kernel init.rc scripts so it will unroot. They are no symbolic links but real files.

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

bubby, i am releasing ZedoBub Stock Kernel tomorrow with my fixes, hope u don't mind, but ur stock kernel ROCKS, just got 3707 on Quadrant on second run.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] C3jay:
How do u remove su
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlear3:
I flashed over v3 and had the superuser app, but in terminal su was an unrecognized command
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
weird i still get both su and superuser just no OC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Same here. I flashed over v3. Root Explorer and Wifi Tether still have SU access..edit..I just saw that Tegrak supports this phone now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Root explorer or es file, enable read write, erase /system/xbin/su and /system/bin/su
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
hey now i needed my beauty rest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spdwiz18:
Anyone trya factory reset yet? I will try after work today if no one has by then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Yes. Just flashed zedo's stock kernel and did factory reset w/out any problems.

I've only been up about 15 minutes and already depleted my "thanks" for the day on this thread!

THANK YOU to all the folks who've been working so hard to support this community!!

Special shout-out to bubby, Ninpo, leatherneck6017, Pyrostic. Also, Entropy512, for leaning in and sharing Infuse 4G community experience!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
I'm 100% sure that's why. Don't ever do a factory reset either without flashing a rom afterwards or you will end up with bootloops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Quads are back up, no LOS, triangle is gone, 4G speeds are back up..

So happy about this.. Thank you Bubby!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
Well we are glad we could produce this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toddtwods:
Thanks

Back up and running... seem to be rooted like the rest who flashed over v3 zedo. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
Can anyone confirm that flashing the CRT off mod will make this not work? I flashed the mod and want to make sure before I flash this.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romantivist:
Actually it was because the original mirror was borked. After bubby fixed the mirror it worked fine. But I will definitely keep the advice about factory resets in mind if I encounter a bootloop in the future.

Also, fwiw, i still have the CRT effect even though I'm back on "stock".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:
It will still work. Disregard what was said above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I havent rooted yet but Im still trying to learn all this new Samsung stuff, coming from HTC. If I did root and wanted to go back to stock I know Id flash the tar. But what is the zimage for in the download section? It has the tar and the zimage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kse91holydiver:
So no one else is getting half bootloops flashing this? Sad day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pyrostic:
The zImage is for developers to decompile, and build all of these lovely kernels out of.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leatherneck6017:

How do u delete super user
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SupahDave:
You should search the thread before asking. Zedo stated it about 3/4 of the way down on page 10...:rolleyes:

Root explorer or es file, enable read write, erase /system/xbin/su and /system/bin/su
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] C3jay:
Fyi did that didnt work thanks tho.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
No, zImage is the kernel itself. If using heimdall from the command line, you can flash this directly

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

That's how I flash all my kernels when I'm developing. Unlike Odin, Heimdall doesn't require you to stick stuff into a tar file.

You guys might want to consider putting up the Odin/Heimdall-flashable system image to support a "return to stock" operation, similar to this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116251

Also, while this won't directly be useful to you, the concept may be usable to develop your own variant of it and use I9100 ROMs - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1230757

lol, i learned nothing. ty for reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
It's usually a good idea to remove any evidence of modifications prior to returning a device for warranty service.

As to whether stock kernel will make you lose root, there are three ways a device can be rooted (four if you count exploits like SuperOneClick that have been closed in Gingerbread - but I don't count that any more)

1) Kernel with built-in superuser binary in initramfs - some of your root kernels are apparently in this category - You will lose root if you move to a stock kernel

2) Kernel with initramfs scripts that injects su and Superuser.apk into the system partition - It sounds like at least one root kernel was in this category - You'll keep root when returning to stock from these

3) System partition that has root. That's how your devs pulled the stock kernel from a device - the device was rooted, just in a different way. Samsung users are lucky in that Odin/Heimdall can flash a system partition without touching the kernel.

Still have root, but would like to return to 100% stock

Post #115 reports that Post #98 didn't work. I am trying to sell my phone and the buyer wants 100% stock. I am also interested in removing the Superuser app icon. I used Zedomax's v1 and then v3 to root. Root persists after flashing this stock kernel.

Are you using the standard messaging app, or 3rd party?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oddlou:
Text messages don't go over 3g, 4g, or wifi. They go out over the regular old 1xx, just like calls. It's likely a problem on Sprints end. Dollars to donuts the problem will fix itself in a few minutes/hours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Hey Bubby, just a couple questions before i start this little journey back to stock.

From Zedo's V2, as we all know the USB mounting wont work.

How exactly am i going to flash this, using ODIN?

I keep seeing everyone saying they used CWM but how am i

even able to put any .zips or ANYTHING on this phone if my computer

wont recognize it?

Please forgive if this has already been answered, this thread in addition to the Zedomax one, i've read well over 80 pages & am getting more confused by the moment.

i just want stock back ;[
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you flash v3 of zedomax then Odin bubby's stock kernel you will have root and stock kernel so you could use Root Explorer to delete the superuser from the places listed in one of the above posts and then delete superuser.apk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
I'd love to do that but im not exactly sure considering USB mounting wont work

& no one has given me any input on how to mount my E4GT as a disk drive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
You won't be using usb mounting.

You will need to put your phone into Download Mode before you connect it to the computer:

1) turn off phone

2) press power and volume down buttons at the same time

3) when prompt appears on screen, press Volume Up.

4) At this point, phone is in download mode and ready to connect to your computer so you can flash via Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
So where you are right now, Odin doesn't recognize your phone when in download mode (power off, volume up and power?) I downloaded bubby's stock kernel to PC, opened Odin, selected PDA, scrolled to bubby's kernel tar, selected it, booted phone to download mode, plugged it in and it recognizes the phone. Make sure only auto reboot is checked and hit start...EDIT..geekaren beat me to it. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
I just did as you said, in download mode, plugged in & odin is NOT recognizing it (no COM#)..

im now stuck in download mode with Odin not recognizing my phone at all.

what do i do now man? if i restart while its in download mode is this gonna completely mess my phone up?

cant believe this is happening ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
After unplugging phone from computer, you should be able to press Volume Down to restart phone in Download Mode.

(Is it possible that, on your computer, Kies is running in the background? Kies can interfere with Odin if it's running.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 420247paul:
Your fine unplug phone pull battery restart phone now about odin not recognizing phone make sure you have your drivers installed try plugging into a usb port on the mobo not the case try using a different usb cord.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
I did as you both said (thanks x1000 by the way for both of your responses)

Made sure Kies isnt running, i have all the available drivers (Kies are the drivers everyone is referring to right?)

& im still in the same boat, ODIN isnt recognizing it all, have tried twice now with the downloading method (volume down+power) & still to my avail -- not picking up.

Im really not sure what to do from here, all i know is Zedo's V1 allowed ODIN to recognize my phone (with the yellow COM#). I've been on Zedo's V2 and ever since the change, ODIN hasnt been recognizing it.

I really dont know where to go from here. Hearts going a mile a minute.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geekaren:
Yes. Having Kies installed on your computer provides the drivers Odin requires.

This might sound off-base, but have you tried unplugging phone, restarting your computer, then opening Odin and reconnecting phone in Download Mode?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
\

Not too off-base at all, that worked beautifully ;D ..

Now being back on the stock kernel (non-rooted), what do you recommend I do?

Not to sound like I wanna get my feet wet immediately again but i loved the luxury of having it rooted & being able to OC it.

Should I wait for Zedo's V4? or what would you guys do in my situation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Chill and enjoy the goodness of your phone until the next round of kernels...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comedy:
Well said, I will do exactly that :).

Thanks John, Paul & Geekaren, saved my young body from a heart attack.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OneStepAhead:
I am SO glad to have the stock kernel back. These i9100 based kernels really did a number on my phone. I was getting 3 days on a charge prior to flashing, after flashing I was getting about 8 hours and having to reboot my phone every 2 hours to regain voice and data service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, unfortunately I was experiencing the same thing. One charge I would get great battery and the next it would be really poor. I also had to overclock to get the benchmarks that I get on the stock kernel. The zedomax kernel is fast at 1.6 though. Once we get a stock based overclockable kernel with Superuser and CWM built in, its going to be great. Sammy made the job of improving battery life and speed tougher on the devs this time. On the Epic, the custom kernels make a huge difference. Its only a matter of time before we start seeing kernels based off of stock though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skribbles505:
I just tried flashing stock coming from Zedo's v3 and everytime I flash the stock kernel I get stuck in a semi-boot loop where the android animation repeats but I can hear things load in the background like the usb scan. If I go back to Zedo's v3 or v2 (didn't try v1) I can boot right up no problem. I did have an issue on one attempt where I flashed Zedo's v3 after the stock kernel wouldn't boot completely and ended up with the same boot loop there, but I was able to go into clockwork and use Zedo's system restore/boot loop fix which fixed the issue so v3 would boot normally. I also tried flashing the stock kernel (which boot looped), then bubby's clockwork (which gives me the I9100 splash) then booting to CW running Zedo's restore/boot fix and immediately flashing the stock kernel again, but I still get the bootloop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joetemp75:
Just fyi my gps is great, the problem was on my side. I restored titanium apps+data. I know better that that but it is Saturday so I have an excuse
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Ill check when it does it again.. Hopefully it doesnt.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Check it now while it's working. If it says unknown the call Sprint from another line so they can reset it. Just updating Profile and PRL didn't fix it for me but when I called and they did it, it changed to Sprint. They told me that some of the people at the Sprint stores are rushing the activations so the phone isn't programmed fully if it's showing unknown
