To everyone having problems, there are two things I've done that messed things up for me before:

1. Not following the order of operations (format /system, cache, dalvik)

2. Using a bad download. Download an md5 checker, google it, make sure it matches the md5 checksum Phantom always posts by in the dl link. For 1.9.5 it's d1efee5461c87d2c09679e280025a0ce
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
Hey, after flashing 1.9.5, It will show the bootanimation then just turn off. I wiped everything and formated system per instructions, and have tried flashing several times with no success. Ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
Install 1.9 normally (wipe data, etc).

Run your phone with 1.9 and let it boot.

Turn it back off

go to recovery

install zip from sdcard

choose 1.9.5 and just install over it, DO NOT WIPE DATA OR ANYTHING, JUST FLASH

It has most definitely been proven and you can check for yourself using logcat (google it if you don't know how to use it).

While on the Wifi config page (when it is actually scanning), you'll see these entries in your logs every few seconds:

I/wpa_supplicant(24695): SCAN_RESULTS : [11]
D/WifiSettings(15167): updateAccessPoints(), ScanResult list updated
D/WifiSettings(15167): updateConnectionState state(null) hasError (false)
V/WifiMonitor( 3200): Event [ SCAN-RESULTS ]

Hit home or go to another screen, and you won't see these entries except for every few

minutes

, which it has to do to enable normal Wifi functionality.

With all the things that can drain your battery, this is the least of your concerns. Plus, the logic behind "it is scanning while I'm looking, it must be scanning all the time" is akin to saying that your refrigerator light must be on all the time because every time you open the door, the light is on. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jevers77:
Maybe I wasn't clear but I was trying to report that the rom froze and became unfunctional after using the included restart function after an LoS. Phone froze with scanning media, or media scanning finished in taskbar. Maybe a bug, maybe not. Just was reporting a problem that occurred. On 1.9.5 now with no problems.

I just included my install procedures because I read so many posts of people questioning how a person installed the rom, wanted to show that is not what is causing my problems. Thanks for reading though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
I do not see 1.9 to download anywhere? Am I missing it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jevers77:
I am trying it now, hopefully it fixes this issue. Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brothertax:
Why is this not in the OP? This worked for me after 2 hours of trying. Thank you good sir.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
I know, the OP TELLS you to wipe/format system...I don't have 1.9 to flash, and I have no phone atm thanks to this...Def lost some faith today..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
It really depends on what your preferences are. IMO, the two best ROMs are this and ViperROM. Try both and stick with the one you like better.

i can confirm this procedure worked for me

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

because its a temp fix, you shouldnt have to have 1.9 install, and then go to 1.9.5

the op stated already there was a slight problem in this version

and the op already stated to do exactly this (he just didnt add it to the OP)

i mean my phone got borked but im not blaming the OP,

all roms are going to have some issues, and im sure he'll fix this version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
Im not mad or blaming. I still intend to donare even. Just thought a post in the op would be nice
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DonutGrunt:
here's a link to 1.9

i know it might seem that all is lost, because you can't even boot.

but just go into CWM, and mount USB storage and drag 1.9 into your SDCARD and follow my previous instructions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeEzyZ32:
I currently have 1.7. Can I flash to 1.95 or do I need 1.9 installed first and then install 1.95 over it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Read three posts up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
I'm staying on1.9 till issues get resolved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
Los with 1.9.5 :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mister2quick:
I was able to go from 1.8 to 1.9.5 without any issues. Just formatted the system, cache x2, dalvik x2 and boom, up and running 5 minutes later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jaytavarez91:
For some reason my phone would get to the boot animation but than turn off. I've wiped EVERYTHING and still no luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] narucii:
The same here. Help!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VeEzyZ32:
Thanks!

I just flashed to 1.9 and will wait just in case but does going from 1.7 to 1.9 include the changes made in 1.8?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] connexion2005:
Version 1.9 Download Link - http://min.us/mELLcCamj

As mentioned if you are having Black Screen issues after flashing the latest version. Re-flash to stock, then boot and load version 1.9 to the device. Then re-flash Chris CWM5 kernel. Now boot to recovery:

Wipe data factory reset

Wipe dalvik cache

Format System

Install 1.9 from internal SD card

Reboot fully into 1.9, then load 1.9.5 onto SD card and reboot to recovery and flash it from sdcard.

Thanks for the tips guys and make sure to click thanks for the people above as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smark72:
Before each update of any rom I flash, I always read the last few pages of the thread to see if their were any issues with new version. I never have any problems that way. Just giving some advice to some that may be newer to the whole flashing thing. You guys having issues just read back a few pages and you will find the answer to get you back up and running.

I always read about 30 min to an hour worth of posts before flashing anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
He does have it. Says at the top of changelog "flash over 1.9." he also said there will be a fix today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Right on! This was a reported issue last night. And i posted a 1.9 link a few pages back for anyone that needs it but phantom saod he is releasing a fix today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Sweet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
just wait till later today when phantom fixes the bugs so you dont have to go through all of this...

Anyone having troubles replying to emails in gmail? Not sure if it is the ROM (starburst 1.9) or the ICS theme for the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogwilson:
Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find version 1.9. You say 1.9.5 must be flashed over 1.9 but I can't find a link to 1.9. I'm on 1.8 and would like to upgrade to the latest. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Is there a way to keep the Samsung Email? I love the split landscape view, and use it quite often.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
I am having the same issue on 1.9 and 1.95. Anything I send from Gmail is not actually sending. I have cleared cache/data on Gmail app a few times and still no luck.

Just wait til this evening and there will probably be a fixed version or if you don't want to wait, here is link.

Just FYI, anyone that wants a fix for the lockscreen clock can flash Overstew's ICS theme. This seemed to do the job for me. It is an awesome theme so you should give it a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] narucii:
I can see the menu screen then "application statues bar not responding..." force close. after that keep restart over the same thing again and again.

I just got a phone today now i'm stuck.:( :( :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Devi0124:
Although I agree that I cant see why it would cause an issue, I have seen that the people having issues in this case did the full wipe and people having no issues seem to have left data alone. Coincidence maybe but if it works it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
Ok for those with Gmail 2.3.5.2 issues navigate to /system/app and remove Gmail.apk and then install this one.

Gmail 2.3.5 (NOT 2.3.5.2)

I would avoid updating gmail until they release a new version.

Another version running flawlessly phantom. Well done. Flashed overstews ics theme and it looks amazing.

Yes that sounds like a killer combination
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1BadHEMI:
Hey Phantom, are you still planning on pushing out an update tonight? Just wondering before I go ahead and flash 1.9.5...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
No need to reflash to stock. Doing a clean flash (system wipe, data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe) of 1.9 then flashing 1.9.5 should suffice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
Perfect. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
Having two issues:

1) My nandroid won't restore! It's saying that the MD5 sums don't match. I don't know what this is!

2) Every time I try to flash SB v1.9 or 1.95, it gives me an error saying:

Finding update...

Opening update..

E: Can't Open / sdcard/stable_epic_starburst_10.30.11_v1.9.5.zip (bad)

Installation aborted.

It does this whether I try to flash from Internal or External SD card. Any help?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
I was having same issue. I uninstalled through titanium and redownloaded from market.. All good now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cjwaggsrx8:
Odin a kernel with cwm.. All good after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nyeazyone:
Was wondering this as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
I have this problem often with sprint. Every month or so I have to call them and ask them to "Reset my txts". I have no idea what this does, but if they do it, my pics start working again. You MUST get the tech suport department, no a CS rep. The CS reps think they can help, but they cannot. They will tell you to do stupid things that don't help. This also helps, when I start getting double txts.

Just flashed 1.9.5, coming from 1.8 with no problems. Did flash the newest lost kernel xxx.08, right after before booting. Did not wipe data. Just a FYI.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
For those having gmail issues, curious if you came from another ROM or fresh install.

I have 2.3.5.2 running with 5 separate gmail accounts and all are working fine. I always restore from Titanium Backup and wondering if that could be the reason I don't have the issue. I have seen that scenario before with VVM on the EVO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigkmoney:
Ive been messing around with the fonts in Rom Toolbox and I love that you included the app. I am just curious if anyone knows what the default font is and if its in Rom Toolbox in case I ever want the stock font back, thanks.

Edit: Nevermind its listed under "stock" haha. Dont know how I missed that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I am also having no e-mail issues. I had ViperROM flashed when 1.9.5 came out, did a full system, data, cache and davlik wipe. Flashed 1.9 then 1.9.5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] texas83:
I did this, odin'd to ACS kernel with up to date CWM. Then was able to flash 1.9 back on. But when I went back to flash over 1.95 it gave me the same exact error. Its also giving me the same error when I try to flash on the ICS theme, (bad) then abort. I tried the theme on internal and external and still no luck...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Man im really confused. No matter what I do I just cant get 1.9.5 to flash correctly. I just get a black screen :\
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robosiris:
I haven't taken the 1.9.5 plunge yet because I love version 1.9. However as I watch the threads, it seems like some devices are like personalities and has a life of it's own, so what generally works (sucessful flashing process) for one device won't work for another. But it's good to see you guys helping each other. To the chef, please keep serving up the goodies, I plan to donate and support your (and others) good work as I always have in the past.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
You may have already, but just in case, did you try to download it again and flash that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
Getting the same black screen...trying a new DL now. Will post back in a few.

EDIT: After a new download, I still get a black screen after the boot animation screen. I was on viperROM, did a wipe and format system then tried install 1.9.5. Any help would be appreciated...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wrceuro:
1 - Format System (Under Mounts and Storage)

1a - Wipe Data

2 - Wipe cache

3 - Wipe dalvik

4 - Flash the ROM

5 - Last step: You are contractually obligated to enjoy it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
In that case, it might be time to odin. Start fresh, and that will fix your problem. PITA, I know. Good luck.

1a is not needed when upgraded from a older version. I have never done this while upgrading, and have had zero problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] springsyeti:
I have the same black screen and I am now trying a download on the computer..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sephirothvfc:
Try that but instead going straight to v1.9.5, install starburst v1.9 first then do the same going into v1.9.5.

I had the same problem when I was coming from viper rom and tried v1.9 first and it fixed it. hopefully it helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
This needs to be flashed over 1.9. Dont wipe data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sephirothvfc:
On my friends phone we just wipe cache and dalvik and flashed v1.9.5 over 1.9 and it worked with no problems aswell
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
lol we totally know that. Im on version 1.9 right now. ANY process I use to flash up to 1.9.5 just gives me a black screen upon boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] polakowt:
Scrolling seems to be less smooth on the home screens on the newest release. Was fine on 1.9
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
It's odd that people are having so many problems with 1.9.5 - to me, this release is the smoothest most stable release of Starburst yet. Excellent battery life, no Ghost LoS (usually this happened hourly on older releases), buttery smooth transitions and scrolling....

40% drain after 8 hours and 45 minutes of moderate usage. This is by far the BEST performance I've gotten out of any ROM on this phone... (The 0.8 kernel may have something to do with it, too ;) )

You're the man, phantom. Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
Scrolling and everything smooth here thanks PH.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonydrone:
Running 1.9.5. All is great. Noticed the new email programs icon has 6 unread emails at all times. The 6 never goes away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
will look into it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SeanHacker:
if you just flashed without wiping as said in the OP. I don't think you would be having any issues. today when i saw all these "black screen" issues, i thought to myself... how could i flash this in the worst way possible? hmmm.... i'm not going to read today. then... after flashing this rom without even reading the instructions, knowing that its an update to a rom that im currently running, the logical thing to do would be to just flash it over my current setup. poof! its works flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

why is there hidden updates in the build.prop? i always look through build.props to see what going on in there and i found this... "you must not being wearing any underwear when flashing this rom". lucky me, i wasn't at the time of flash! good to go!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
It's still early but I'm also experiencing the best battery life I've ever seen on this phone. Down only 20% after 6.5 hours of medium use. At that pace I could early double my previous best record (13 hours).

It is perplexing to see so many posts about issues. It must be something very subtle to plague so many users. I'm certain there are at least as many people not having any issues as there are having issues.

Really smooth, fast release Phantom. Hopefully everyone will have a chance to enjoy the goodness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
That is a gmail issue. If you go to your desktop gmail, you'll see that six emails that you already read on your phone will still show unread. If you mark then read on your desktop your gmail app will then show zero unread.

To fix it do a google search. This is a known but very sporadic issue since the G1. A search will provide you a fix.

I actually have the same issue today. If I remember/find the fix, I'll post it.

All's running great for me, nice battery life so far with regular use, havent even calibrated battery fully, only wiped stats this morning. Great rom!

How can I revert back to the Samsung email apk? I hate the email in the latest update. Thanks!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
Its completely entirely possible that im not even looking in the correct area, BUT...

I see here where it says to flash 1.9.5 over 1.9 and it says to wipe /system /cache and everything. This is what was causing the blackscreens for me. I flashed 1.9 booted up and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Rebooted into CWM and did NOTHING but flash 1.9.5 and bam no problems. So incase theres some others out there that seem to be as dense as me, hopefully this will help you flash (even though i feel stupid finding out it was as simple as just flashing the darn thing instead of wiping this or that)

Do we hve to flash 1.9.5 over 1.9 for it to work properly or can we flash it off another rom with a data n cache wipe

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radar369:
OOOPS!!!!! :eek:

My bad!

By the way...a couple of question:

1) Where is the home button on the stock browser....if there is one?!

2) Even though my E4GT was doing this before it was rooted....why does the screen take about 4 seconds to turn on after hitting the power button....and only a small percentage of the time it comes on instantly?!

3) Sometimes....and only while using Starburst rom......the phone will freeze up for about 5 seconds......then everything will restart! The phones screen will turn off then come back on and everything has to load back up! Any reason why this is happening?!

4) Sometimes when I press the power button the screen turns on and it will turn on to the last screen I was on....then about 2 seconds later the lock screen will come up and the phone will freeze! ?

5) This rom seems to log me out of my google account sometimes for no reason at all! ?

6) Does anyone know where I can get the MIUI style battery bar from....maybe an .apk or a flashable one.......just in case I change roms and still want to use it....because I love that battery meter?!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radar369:
The only problem I had before rooting my E4GT was the screen taking too long to turn on.....but ever since I rooted my phone I have been having the Loss Of Service problem before flashing a different rom!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
I hear ya, but that's the chance we take. Quite a few of these issues seem to be phone related that samsung and sprint needs to fix.

I think the development here are doing a great job trying to compensate, but they can only do so much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
It'll get better soon, all the devs are doin a great job, and updates soon will add more to the mix. Try a few kernels, there are several lostkernels available now they're good
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radar369:
Yeah.....I appreciate them a million for even taking the time out to make the roms! Back when I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 that'a all I did...I would flash a rom....check for bugs and glitches and post what they were! I was on Silence Rom back then and trust me...Windows Mobile had A LOT of glitches! His final release was perfect though! When I got to Android all that pretty much went out the window...no pun intended! Android is pretty good on its own......I just want to start making my own roms so I can customize them to how I like them!

Now I'm just waiting for ICS!!!!!! :)

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 AM ----------
