I do have the external in and it has never been recognized even from day one. I have tried six different cards so I must be doing something wrong.

I did do several complete wipes. I still had the notification error, so I assumed I had a bad download, but since I can reach neither the /sdcard nor the /internal sdard I couldn't replace the ROM with a fresh download.

Thanks. I figured that after all of the initial weirdness. So from this point I guess I need to go back to stock EG30.tar and start over as I have no way to get StarBurst working and no nandroid to go back to. Does that make sense?

EDIT: So I am back to complete stock now. No root, no superuser, no CWM. Nada. Anyone want to recommend their preferred method of root? It seems as though there are a ton out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kawasaki00:
That was my problem too, I forgot to wipe system and got the ui FC, went back wiped data/system/cache/dalvik and every thing is perfect now, no issues or los
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
yup. that is the culprit most of the time. just s go to mounts and storage and format system. should solve your problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Damn! LOL Basics! I don't know why I didn't think to do that. I did all the wipes, but I didn't try formatting from mounts menu. Bummer.

Well, I am back at 100% stock now and starting over. Any suggestions on best root method now that I get a second chance?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
root with zedomax kernel. then wipe everything again along with mounts and storage cache etc. then put the zip in the internal SD thenflash using cwm. then flash the lost kernel by Chris using Odin. very easy. put the phone indownpoad mode. put in USB make sure you got drivers. PDA then tada. do a profile update. reboot. #profit?

Avoiding CWM and Starburst V1.5 install problems

SUGGESTION YOU ASKED FOR: First time i tried to install Starburt V1.5 I ran into some of the same issues and like you, went back to stock ROM by using ODIN. Then I re-installed Starburst V1.3 because i knew it had an older and presumably more stable version of CWM. Once I had that running without problems I upgraded to Starburst v1.4 and after that was running OK I upgraded to v1.5 but added a few extra steps that I had NEVER used during any ROM upgrade.

Look at my detailed instructions posted at top of Page 169.

From my experiences and having read numerous posts on this thread, I believe the difference between success and failure with Starburst V1.5 might be doing multiple wipes as I describe in my step-by-step info on page 169.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bad_HABIT:
so am I just out of luck because my phone somehow is behaving differently? :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smikwily:
I had issue when I formatted system and then accidentally rebooted the phone. It kept throwing errors and complaining about the SD Card not being able to be mounted.

I ended up using ODIN to get back to one of the DEOXED roots with CWM, then used CWM to flush Dalvik, flush cache, factory/reset, and format system again. Then used CWM to install ZIP from SD from there. Worked fine for me.

I just assumed that CWM wasn't happy with System being completely empty, so figured I'd have to get back to some level of OS being installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jake:
Super nice

Running Starburst 1.5 .. and absolutely loving it! I would love to help with theme development / testing / etc. Need IRC info. this project has tremendous potential (obviously)! ::Off for the day, lol::
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Thanks for all of the recommendations. I went ahead and used the zedomax kernel rather than the Bubby method I used the first time. I guess the first benefit I can see is that this method installed the older CWM which now gives me access to my previous nandroid (should I need it.)

I already wipe thoroughly so there wasn't any change for me there, but I had not formatted the system the first time which was what caused the boot loop issues and instability. I'm all good and running smooth coming directly from stock to StarBurst 1.5. Very cool looking tweaks so I may stick with this ROM and blow off my nandroid.

I previously used chris41g's method for removing the yellow triangle, so I may do that again. So far so good. Everything restored via Titanium without issue so my rig looks exactly the same as before with the addition of the PhantomHacker's improvements! Nice! :)

EDIT:

And yet, still frustrated. I have everything running ultra smoothly. The ROM kicks a**. But as has been my issue since day one on any setup I am on, I cannot get external SD card mounted or more to the point, I cannot make a nandroid. Anyone know what I am missing?

Set up as listed in my signature. In CWM 5.0.2.3, I go to -backup and restore > -Backup and I get Can't mount /sdcard. Very frustrating. Any insight?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killajl:
Are you using a sd card?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
I am. But I have tried it both with and without the microSD card as well as multiple microSD cards of varying size and manufacturer all with the same result: "Can't mount /sdcard".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killajl:
ok. i had a similar error, and it went away when i put in a sd card. don't know if this would help, but i also manually created the folders for cwm in /sdcard/external_sd. Clockworkmod/Backup and Clockworkmod/Download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] islanda73:
I have two questions. Can i restore my data after installing this and can I install zedomaxs kernel over this
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
maybe a faulty microsd slot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smikwily:
Can you see the card when the phone is booted up outside of CWM? If so, have you tried formatting it from inside the Android OS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Micro SD card problem

This may sound like a dumb suggestion but if you've tried several micro SD cards in your Epic 5G Touch and none are being recognized you may have a bad contact in that slot. If it were me, I'd take it to a local Sprint Store and see if any of the techs there can get it to recognize your micro SD card or one of theirs. If not, I'd demand a new phone. Before you do that though, you might want to go back to stock because some Sprint stores won't even touch a phone that has been rooted of modded.

Been running 1.5 for 3 days now. Great job, thx op.

I did get LOS once the first day and twice yesterday, then once early today. I then updated prl and it has been rock solid since. Is there any chance the prl can help the LOS? And what about the lossless kernal I've been hearing about...does it really help?

Edit...One other thing, I've also got a Droid Charge and had never has LOS in the 5 months or so that I've had it. Is it maybe because Red's network is better...cause I keep hearing all Sammy radios suck...but that Charge has been rock solid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
I had this problem before. I used odin to flash just the tar file. This gave me cmw. And was able to do restore. But do not do that...flash this rom giving you new update cwm. Now it will read sd card. And you will be worried free.

Hulu plus and the beta kernel for LOS, it's awesome. I've been on my phone all day with 1.5 and that kernel and only lost 20% battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hermeticist:
-Zedomax kernel v4.1

-Support for headphone controls (I think vlingo disables this currently)

-Play controls in status bar control with ability to choose controls.

-Led notifications tailoring

I've been using zedomax v4.1 all week with no LOS.

You rock. I fully intend to donate when I get paid tomorrow.

TW 4.5 with Home screen Rotation and Motion sensor

If you can include TW4.5 that would be awesome, but here are my observation regarding that, I tried the TW4.5 v21 ( current version), it does not do home screen rotation and motion sensor do not work. I have a previous version ( don't know the version number) which I used on Droid Charge and it works perfectly and does both of the above things, which I am using on ur 1.5 rom, I can send it to you if you wish. I tried posting the issues in the forum over there, but non one is as friendly to newbies there as they are here.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

You are so right...I have used CM7 in the past and its good, but it makes it a different ROM, while this one keeps all the important stock features and adds more to it. In my opinion this one is what one can call TAKING IT TO THE Next level and further.

Adding the ability to switch PRL's on demand would be awesome!

I just learned to do that using a computer; but if we were able to change to 00001 to switch to verizon 3g when sprint slows down, that would rock.

using 00001 tripled the speed but keeps the phone in data roaming. I would turn it back to 60681 when sprint isn't slow. The ability to go back and forth would be useful so sprint doesn't get pissed off.

1. Option to choose which toggles we want (a la cynanogenmod) instead of scrolling bar.

2. More recent apps when holding down the home button

3. Faster lock for GPS (mine takes forever compared to my OG EVO)

4. The ability to have the search button open any app (i know the lockscreen mod does this with a long press, but would be nice with a short press option, also lockscreen mod seems to mess up all kinds of stuff)

5. New fancy boot animation :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t3hcyborg:
I'm getting horrible 3G speeds on this rom. I don't mean like 200 or 300 kbps... no, I'm getting 20-23 kbps.

4G runs perfectly, but 3G is beyond ****. I've flashed and reflashed, wiped everything countless times, and updated profile and PRL more times than I can count.

Does anyone have a fix or at least some insight for me before I roll back to stock? I like this rom, so I'd much rather prefer a solution.

ok 2 things:

1) im looking for the memo apk file in your ROM so i can install that app. when i flashed the ROM it was working fine, but then i did the advance restore and it isn't working now. i remember that since i got the et4g and used titanium backup to restore data to the app it hasn't been working. so im thinking to pull and install it from your ROM and at least get it working again that way, but i can't locate it...seems to have been renamed possibly.

2) i'm not sure if the issue has been addressed, but i don't have overscroll glow. i checked when going to menu/settings then scrolling to the bottom and it isnt there. not a biggie...just wanted to chime in that it wasn't happening for me as it wasn't for others.

can't wait to see the updated ROM. i hope it has a stock kernal too as i'd like to get rid of that caution triangle at reboot.

Any way to get the camera to work in call? Just a suggestion! Not sure how complicated that gets but it would be nice to have just for the sake of having it work when someone REALLLLLLY needs it, haha.

1.5 has been pretty stable since I flashed it. Great work!

Edit: Only beef I have is with the lockscreen mod! It is basically see through onto my home screen when I go to unlock. Also, the screen just does not come on right away, ill hit the power button a few times and have to wait over 30 seconds sometimes which I am assuming is the lockscreen mod as well. Kind of annoying and I know its not you. Any word on the bugs from the dev?

ADB process vs. $1.50 USB jig

Thanks for the suggestion but i decideed that having a USB jig for $1.50 (including delivery) makes more sense for me and I can probably also use the jig for my Galaxy Tab (via the USB to microUSB adapter I already have).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t3hcyborg:
30 seconds for the screen to turn on? For me, the screen does take a littler longer than I'd like to turn on, but I'm talking like 2 seconds. If your screen is taking 30 seconds, you might need to reflash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Yeah its not every time but it does happen. I only noticed it the last week so maybe it does need a re-flash. I got the 2 second delay as well but this is as if the screen does not want to come on at all unless i force it.

How about putting a format /system command at the top of the install script?

either before mounting /system

format("/dev/block/mmcblk0p9");

I believe either of those would do the trick.

Last night, I flashed this, and then LostKernel on top of it w/o booting inbetween. I got that FC on the notification, and did not get the setup wizard. Everytime i'd reboot, i'd get the FC on the notification.

I redid the ROM, then rebooted, got the FC on notification once, did the setup wizard, then rebooted and never got the FC again. I then flashed LostKernel on top and all was fine.

Format System

Wow. My first day coming from the Evo 3D to the SGS2E4GT has not been pleasant because of this rom. I had no idea that format system also erased the content of your SD Card. 3 years of pictures music and my apps all gone. That should be some information that is thrown on the 1st OP post for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhantomHacker:
It doesn't formatting your sdcard will though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ikennai:
All Good

Didn't do that, formatted the system, but I think Im good. Its reading as empty on my Epic for some reason but just showed everything there when put back in the 3D. I don't know what's going on, but I will back everything up and then try to figure it out from there.

Thanks though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
I would at least apologize for the accusation and acknowledge your error. On a positive, it is good your SD card didn't get erased.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ikennai:
No accusations were thrown, as I just said it should be put in the original post if thats what format does. However, apologies if any offense was taken by the dev, but that would be more of a CWM thing than the actual rom. Maybe I phrased it incorrectly, as I'm the last person to be a **** to people putting in work on anything, just had quite a bit of important stuff that I probably should have backed up a while ago anyways.

No harm no foul, but hope no offense was taken.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ripalsanghani:
Agree. These devs work hard and provide perfect instructions to avoid anything severe like losing contents of your SD card. Plus, everyone and their mothers have formatted system and not lost anything on the SD card so that should have immediately been obvious.
