Yeah, I believe it's the roaming signal...but this is the methid I used to root and have stayed with it. Stable as stable can get. Good choice.

I think I may have hard bricked my device. I flashed the recovery tar kernel from bubby and then my phone has been in airplane mode. I have flashed I think every kernel and rom now and wiped data, dalvik, factory reset a hundred different ways including ## codes and I still have no service. Any suggestions? I called sprint and got my msl 3 but even they couldn't reconnect me. I believe i'm now back on stock kernel and rom but still no service

My Feedback

Been running this for 1 week or so. No issues

Installed Sprint hotspot hack - works perfect(took a long time to get through computer configuration and finally limited access went away)

Installed JuiceDefender(to fix battery issue) - have it set to aggressive and phone now lasts all day. I drop on average 2-3% per hour. Turns off all radios when phone is in sleep mode

SetCPU is set up where 1200/200 on demand, and 500/200 when in sleep mode.

CameraHack so it makes no sound when taking pictures and better sound (HERE.)

Yesterday for the first time, I got a username/password not signed in. Dont know if this is LOS or not. but other than that....my phone is working awesome. Tether is fast, battery lasts 2 days, camera is perfect. No issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:
I've read this forum and didn't see it mentioned, but i wanted to clarify just to be sure....but do I need to enable usb debugging on my device to perform this root process? Thanks guys!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
No you don't need that. You will be using Odin to flash this and putting your phone in download mode. That is all you need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:
Thanks for the quick reply Crawj. Just to put my "rooting fears" at ease. I can just root with this method, then install clockwork mod with stock kernel, and be rooted with cwm? Without any side effects?

Again, thanks for all the help from everyone on XDA!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Regarding side effects, it depends on who you ask.

You can certainly root with this method without any side effects that anyone has discovererd.

However, installing clockworkmod changes you off the stock kernel, and that could potentially have side effects.

Has this been tested with chris41g's LoStKernel yet? I'm currently on the stock ROM with LoStKernel, and I'm looking for the best way to get deodexed so I can try out the AIO mod, and this seems like a good way to do it. I don't want to bork things up by running an incompatible kernel though.

Or is there an easier way? I'm pretty sure I have BusyBox installed from the LoStKernel, but I have no clue what it does or how to use it.

I was a bit worried at first though, the initial boot time took a little longer. The screen was stuck on the '4G' sprint logo for a minute. It eventually booted fine after. I also noticed after a few more reboots (forgot to put my microSD card back in) it was booting more like how it did before.

I screwed up a system file in my phone (unrelated to this) and it was in a bootloop. I figured I would be able to just ADB in and fix the problem. However, even though I've been using root fine with this for weeks now, when I ADB'd in via recovery, whenever I called su it would segmentation fault. I ended up having to flash a custom kernel with root so that I could fix the problem.

Anyone know why su would segmentation fault in my situation? I tried many times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I have an issue which most likely has a simple answer.

My SE4GT is not Rooted, and I was all set up to download the EG30.tar

I had Odin recognizing my device with COM5, etc.

I Uploaded the Mirror in Post #1, and it uploaded as factoryms.img

I tried to extract it, But I got a pop up saying WinZip only supports .img files that are in .iso format. So I couldn't put the EG30.tar file in the PDA box in Odin.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I got a little bit of a learning curve coming from the Evo 4G ;-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You don't need to extract it. What you are downloading is already the tar. Just put that in pda and hit start. Check the op if you need more instructions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Yes. Thanks.

I just figured out what I was doing wrong right before I read your response.

I was Opening up the .tar with WinZip which was confusing me, as that was the default.

I'm just saving the file, then entering it in the pda as you mentioned.

Thanks again.

Appreciate your quick response.

I just downloaded Android WiFi Tether >

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

and transferred it to the root of my SD card via my pc.

I then installed it on my phone, and and got my pc to recognize WiFi Tether. I clicked Connect, But it wouldn't connect.

Any advice is appreciated.

The 'Show Log' in WiFi Tether was all good.

I originally installed it using QR Droid, and it didn't work.

I uninstalled it, and re-installed the WiFi Tether.apk using my pc.

Don't think it made a difference either way.

I'll try changing the access control settings in WiFi Tether, and maybe try other settings in my pc regarding adhoc connection.

Must be missing something SIMPLE

Hey everyone, just like to say thanks to the developer and everyone who is chiming in, this thread not only helped me root my new epic touch but took care of the LOS issues that just hit me BOOM after about 3 weeks of ownership.

The question i have will probably sound simple to experienced users, as this is only my second rooted phone. So i odin'd this deodexed and rooted rom and like i mentioned no more LOS issues (and i think i'm gettin stronger reception for some reason) Then i installed Rom Manager and then Clockwork, wanted to try out the latest Cyanogen, downloaded it from the official site. Then two problems arose:

1. tried backing up the "rom" the stock EG30 with deodex and it always freezes in mid back up, never completes, cant find the backup file in Rom Manager afterwards, i'm thinking there must be a simple reason for this too..

2. I cant seem to flash the Cyanogen (made sure i downloaded the Samsung Epic 4g Touch file)...is it compatible with this rom/kernel?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Unfortunately I won't be much help here. I am using the hotspot hack which is way better in my opinion. But I recall something about a profile option for Samsung?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
1. Where did you try backing up to? Internal or External? I just tried it and it worked for me.

2. I am almost positive they don't have Cyanogen for the touch yet. If they did people would be all over it. Can you provide a link to what you are trying to use? And Cyanogen is a rom by itself so it would replace this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
@ crawrj

I read something about CM, but I forgot where. It was for the Epic, not Epic Touch.

I think the title also said Epic 4G which may be where the confusion is.

I saw your post, and tried that for the past hour.

The SSID on my pc is AndroidTether, but I installed the VaelPak file onto my phone.

I don't know if my pc is reading the old wifi SSID or the new one.

I cannot connect.

I followed the instructions meticulously.

I set it up on the Ext. SD card, and now its on the Internal Memory.

I installed the BIN folder also as instructed.

I have no idea why this is.

My pc should pick up the wifi signal.

If the SSID should be AndroidTether, than it is picking up my device, but not connecting.

I just know it's a setting in my pc most likely, but not 100%

The wifi on my device is working, as I can pick up another router in the area.

I appreciate your assistance.

I'll continue with this later, and I will try your CMR instructions later or tomorrow also, as I gotta have a drink or 2 ;-)

I'd like to stay as stock as possible, as I am now with EG30.

Thanks again.

Any ideas re the WiFi issue, lemme know.

Btw, I've been working on this issue for so long that I just noticed a 'burned in line' on my pc in the lower right corner.

It's from the Network Connection Box, since it's need searching for so long.

It's about 3 inches across, and turns up a 1/2 in.

Hopefully it will be gone later on ??

bonk on backup

Hey Crawrj,

Yeah i'm fairly certain the one i downloaded was also not specifically for the Epic Touch 4g...i can chop that one up to "doh" but shucks how come i cant make a backup of the deodexed rom you made with clock work..i have cwm, go to back up, it fires up on reboot i get the robot hanging out with the box and the yellow status bar appears for about a second then it vanishes...then i have to power off restart ( but first time around i think i waited ten minutes..is this just a matter of waiting it out? )

everything restarts fine but there is no backup created which leads me to assume it was unsuccessful..

Just in case you need to know i odin'd ACS' method from youtube user qbking,

Loved it but started to get plenty LOS issues, odin'd back to complete stock then odin'd this rom with deod root and busybox then just installed cwm from the market...I'd like to have this rom as a safe harbor to come back too so cant understand why this wont back up..:/

Mahalo!

Hey,

I installed the Kernel above, and now have ClockworkMod Recovery! Great!

I will work on the ! mark later on. I have a Jig I purchased, but would rather not have to reset all the time, and use it when I really need it.

Just to clarify, after i get rid of the !

what's the reason for the zimage?

Then again, I can get used to the ! ;-)

Now that I can install .zips like the good ole days, you have a link to the Accuracy Battery Mod so I can get rid of the Batterry Indicator

(nice app btw,) which is taking up real estate.

Update:

Found it.........

I am really not sure. I just did a backup from the kernel clockwork and from rom manager. Both ran fine. If you are backing up to sdcard try backing up to pc and formatting the card. Try again after that.

Its the actual kernel and Clockwork file and by putting the stock kernel zimage back in it ensures you that you will have a stock kernel and up to date recovery

Anyone have their phone reboot itself after flashing this? I flashed this about a week ago. I don't know if flashing this caused my problem or just a simple coincidence.

A few nights ago, I pressed the power button to check the time at a party I was at. I had about 50% battery life. A couple minutes later, a friend of mine gave me her new cell phone number so we can catch up for dinner. I went to turn on my phone and jot down her number but my phone wouldn't turn on. After a few holds and presses, it finally turned on, but it booted up instead. Then it said I had 15% battery life! It went from 50% to 15% in a matter of minutes!

I'm not sure what happened. An hour later, I took this screen shot (see attached) of my battery usage. You can see the sharp fall off when my phone froze up. The weird thing was, that my battery life actually started going up after a while by itself. It went as high as 21% at one time. The only thing I've installed since I flashed was juice defender.

I properly discharged my phone to 0% that night and did a full charge with my phone off. Battery life has been normal since then. Just wondering if anyone experienced something similar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Working well for me. Been almost a week.

No wierd battery draining. No reboots.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kilthro:
I have had my phone a few times freeze and then just reboot itself. I have been in contacts/pressing the home button/email/app drawer and had it happen. I was even taking a pic and once the camera took it, i clicked on it so it would open up in the gallery app and then it rebooted.

It doesn't happen all the time and seems to be random.

My phone will show reduced battery when rebooting/booting up. I think the meter over compensates due to the load on the battery when booting and loading everything one the phone. Once it flattens out, the battery meter will increase slightly.
