Yeah I had issues today also 4g and wifi would not connect I rolled back to 10-27 and all is well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
Had 2 reboots yesterday after flashing newest update, but today it's been fine all day so far (fingers crossed)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Is there a place I can get the 10/27 update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I'm running latest and it is working fine!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yea I had like 5 yesterday after updating to newest. I then just did a factory reset, wiped everywhere I could and started from scratch... All is well today, it may have been something I did as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
yanno i really wish XDA would require you guys post stuff here too because half the time the acs site is down when i need something :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Just wanted to let you know that I can't connect to the link in Post #1

for some reason. I wanted to download the Kernel to get CMR.

I now have EG30 installed with Root and BusyBox.

Thanks for your hard work ;-)

EDIT:

After multiple tries, I just got thru.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d1msum4lyfe:
for some reason, any 5.0.2.7 i load up, the power button does nothing. had to odin 5.0.2.6 or lower
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
when the 4 g disconnects the 4 g does not try to re connect so the 3g connection is on instead and the 4g does not reconnect again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
The home button is enter in this version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I found that out about the Home button a while ago,

But I just figured out that the Power button acts as the Back button, so you can get into the previous menus in ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Just keep pressing the vol up button till you see it says Menu enabled I believe and then your power button can be used instead of your home key to navigate
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
So is the 10/28/2011 update causing problems for everyone? Should I stay on the earlier update? I am still on the one with CWM 5.2.0.6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Thanks for the tip.

I keep pressing the Vol Up, and the Back Button Enable/Disable toggles below..

I can then use the Power Button to 'Enter' selection.

As a side note, I can use my Evo 4G USB cable to charge my SE4GT. You just have to flip the mini usb around.

Seems things are just a little different than with HTC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
can you post 10/27 version

Hi Can you post the 10/27 version please, thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
No problems here with the latest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
After a couple reboots the first day, 2 days now of running fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
I've been running the latest/10.28 version since it was posted without issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caseykelly:
A faster way to enable the back menu button is to do the following:

1. In recovery highlight ''reboot system now'' at the top of the screen

2. then press vol up, vol down, vol up in one consective motion

Note: You can also enable the back menu button by doing this in reverse order by:

1. have your curser highlight ''power off'' at the bottom of the screen

2. then press vol down, vol up, vol down in one consective motion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I had a couple reboots like I posted but it may be something I did but since then all has been perfect.. made a couple of backups and will try and restore them later to test.. Feel free to give this recovery and kernel a go...

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Just tested my 4g worked fine and I have been using wifi all day... Did you guys reboot wipe cache or doing any other troubleshooting?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
Actually did nothing, after the 2 random reboots that first day, no reset or wiping, and it's been smooth sailing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kwan:
I've been running this kernel without problems until today, when I went to recovery to flash Viper's LOS checker.

The volume buttons work fine to navigate in recovery, but I can't select anything with the power button.

How can I reboot the phone. Everytime I try to reboot, it sends me to recovery. So I'm stuck in recovery mode.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Home = select option , power button is back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kwan:
Thanks lBaller.

Is this a new feature of CW5? I solved it the hard way by using Heimdall to flash a CWM 4 kernel,then reflash a lostkernel with CWM 5. I've reflash this kernel again successfully.

Thanks again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yes the new version is different. The buttons are mapped differently. I like the power to be used as enter but how much are we really.in recovery? I can live with the home button as enter.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I was in Recovery yesterday, as I have been in a few times the past few days, to flash zips from my SD card.

But yesterday, for the first time, I would press the Home Button to Enter my selection, and the screen reverted to the previous screen. I thought it was a fluke, but it happened a few times during the same session.

Now I did press the Power button to 'Select' a couple of times (I forgot this is not the Evo 4G LOL!) and it reverted to the back screen as advertised.

But I did press the Home screen which did the same thing.

Eventually, the Home button selected the zip.

I presume this to be more chance of a User error, than an anomaly of CWM.

But it is strange that this is the first time it happened,

I'll keep an eye out.

u the man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
I am having trouble updating the SU Binary. This also happened when I was using your 1.0.0.7 lostkernel before the 1.0.0.8 update. Any thoughts on fixing this? I already tried clearing data on SU and updating through market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Did you install the one in the acs thread via recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
Edit wrong thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Yes....I get an error in recovery. I am using the ICS themed odex rom by strongsteve.

Am I the only one having trouble updating the binary in Superuser?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
wont let me flash anything through recovery chris went back to lostkernel with cwm recovery 5.0.2.6 and could flash again went back to 5.0.2.7 cant flash any zips
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
What do you mean? What error does it give?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you can flash, this is signed Superuser 3.0.6. Binaries definately update on this one...

Did you update busy box first? I am running the same one and its all good.

I'm sure OP will get it straightened out when he gets to a computer though

OP thanks for your efforts, this is exactly what I've been waiting for
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
same as well... glad its not just me :D Thanks again for this kernel! hopefully this eliminates the LoS, or at least SHOULD isolate whether it is or is not a kernel issue, no?

Ok the errors will help me get it fixed pretty easy..

are there any problems with using Rom Manager with the current E4GT CWM kernels or should this be avoided until there's full support by Koush?

Thanks,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Thanks for working on this!

While i LOVE lost kernel (very fast and stable), today, i had some weird pseudo LOS issues. Still had bars, but couldn't access internet over 3g/4g (didn't try wifi cause i was not near one). Trying to delete emails said "Failed to connect to server". Trying to send SMS, just said "Failed".

Rebooted phone and got a couple of SMS that had been sent a couple hours earlier. Then I was able to delete emails and access internet again.

This happened twice today. Had to reboot each time to get stuff working again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
This is working great for me, as far as cwm is concerned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you package "busybox" into /sbin?

It is referenced in /sbin/recovery.sh when that sets up the environment for CWM, but doesn't appear to be in the initramfs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
really? your not getting the mounting errors?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
ok.... so reading thru other kernel and rom threads, when they say stock kernel, they mean the one from the erroneous open source...? If that is the case, then is this iteration of a base kernel similar to the OG epic GB leaks in that the mods to this kernel are limited in comparison to say your LoStKernel? basically im wondering how far this can be modded, IF the LoS turns out to be from the open source code sammy released and that source can be trashed... or does it look deeper than that... or is that already disproven...? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Up until this post, most of the releases that say "stock" kernel actually meant "recompiled" kernel from Samsung stock source code. The exception would be the posts that specified "pulled" or "return to stock". Those actually have a real stock kernel pulled from the phone.

This release is using the real pulled stock kernel with the addition of CWM recovery, although it appears there might be a packaging error where a file is missing from the release, so you might want to wait for the next update.

If there is a problem with the "recompiled" kernels from Samsung stock source code, it isn't clear if it is source code problem, a build parameter/config problem, or if something is missing from the release. Lots of times source code has #ifdef's (conditional source code) to handle different situations and if you don't have the proper build configuration, the recompiled kernel can behave differently from the "stock" pulled kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
This is so great. Now we can flash this and then flash the su.zip if we want root on stock rom or flash another rom that has root built into it. I haven't flashed this yet cause I see people are having mounting problems on this cwm. It hasn't been fixed has it?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
At this point, it would make almost more sense to package cwm4 with the stock kernel - cwm4 does allow nand operations to usb storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
My rom has Superuser odexed as a system/app.. and the market wont let you delete system apps. Use root explorer to delete both the apk and odex and then install from the market. It will be deodexed and placed in data/app.. not optimal but not terrible by any means.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
doesnt give an error it goes thru the motions but nothing changes. when i use the earlier kernel with 5.0.2.6 cwm it works fine. whats the difference in cwm 5.0.2.6 and 5.0.2.7 besides the buttons? which is a headache imo.

and yes i clear dalvik and cache i try again and again and still dont work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nitronet:
I changed to this kernel a couple of days ago, got 1 day 17 hours uptime before my first LOS.

Really wish it could be fixed totally, but much better than it was.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Thats the one that finally worked....thanks JohnCorleone!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I dont make CWM, its koushs official build..

anyone else unable to flash a rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Flashing in general works fine for me, unless I try to flash immediately following a backup. For some reason backup+install zip = the appearance of success with no result. I simply reboot recover or power off and boot back into recovery between the backup and install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Thats really strange.. could anyone verify if this happens with Koushs kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
I had LOS on another kernel, then switched to this one over one month ago. I've had zero LOS on this kernel, and am very hesitant to try anything else until it's 100% LOS free.

CORRECTION 11/4/11:

I had installed the update for ClockworkMod Recovery, but Not ROM Manager.

I just updated to 4.8.0.1, and it works great!

Maybe my oversight will help others who make the same mistake ;-)

In ROM Manager, I don't see my Backups. They are on my External SD Card. assume ROM Manger only sees Backups in Internal memory.

No biggie, as I just manually go into CWM, and flash from there.

Can't flash zips from ROM Manager either. Have to go in manually. Maybe for the same reason? Gotta check.

Everything working well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
the new ROM manager supposedly fixed this very issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I have 5.0.2.7 installed with the same issues. Maybe the next version will address them, if possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
I am running latest rom manager and CWM 5.0.2.7. All my backups are on external. Rom manager sees them with no problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
My oversight. I f'd up.

I installed the newest version of CWM, but not ROM Manager.

I just updated ROM Manager to 4.8.0.1 and everything is working fine.

Your reply made me realize this.

Thanks.

I'm on 5.0.2.7, no issues with the phone or recovery that I've seen. Took me a minute to realize I had to use the home and back buttons though! ;)

The phone itself is working perfectly, thank you chris. Its a shame sammy flubbed the source release.

Update worked great. Once I did my first initial backup and rebooted system, I lost my icons. Tried to replicate the problem and it will not. No problems at all. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
thats strange...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vlug:
strange indeed.... Only thing i did was root phone using zedomax kernel. Flashed this cwm kernel then a rooted zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I went into ROM Manger to do a Back up.

It flashed into the Recovery screen, and the back up started, But after 5 seconds, my phone rebooted. I tried twice with the same outcome.

I went into Recovery manually, and the back up was a success.

Any reason why this would happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
not to use Rom manager i believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JLine05:
Can someone please upload this kernel for me, the links are down at the acs site. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
So I made a nandroid backup, used Calkulin's format all zip (cache/dalvik/system), then flashed this as a zip, and my phone gets stuck at the samsung triangle screen. What should I have done, and what should I do now?

edit: restored nandroid, flashed this zip without wiping (let the zip wipe it for me), and it's all good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
Format All...formats ALL. which means your /data and /system (and everything else) were wiped. This zip is only the kernel (/boot). So, only do that if you are installing a ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Pardon my ignorance guys but if I use this method on a out of the box stock phone I will have stock kernel rooted with CWM? Next question is how do I install it exactly?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
This method does not give you root. It will give you stock kernel and cwm. You also need to make yourself familiar with ODIN. Odin is what you need to flash this method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
links for SU zip are in the ACS Op busybox also..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
I'm a little confused. So this is basically a way to UNROOT your phone if you are unhappy with a rooted kernel? I was always under the impression that in order to use CWM you had to have a fully rooted phone? What can we do with CWM w/o the phone being rooted?

I'm coming from a OG EVO so mb this phone is another kind of monster all together.

***Chris41G***

Is there anyway you can post a mirror to this file? I think I'm going to use that method for rooting the phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
this allows you to achieve root on a stock kernel with recovery. There are zips that allow you to achieve root or you don't have to. If you flash a rooted ROM/kernel in recovery you would achieve root. All this is doing is taking the stable stock kernel and allowing you to achieve root and recovery. If you don't flash the super user/busy box zips you won't have root and will be on stock with recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
Not exactly true. What Chris is offering is the stock kernel repackaged with CWM. You could then use CWM to flash root (or not). There is not such thing as a rooted kernel. Yes, some people zip up Superuser with a kernel image, but it's still just a kernel + superuser (root) access
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
Why don't you just do this method 1st...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296348

and then come back to this thread and ODIN this STOCK pulled kernel repacked with CWM5. This way you'll be rooted with stock kernel and CWM. BAM!!! you're all set to go and start flashing ROMs. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AreOh:
*head explodes* I've been reading too many threads tonight and I'm all confused. I am rooted now. I have experienced LoS. read a few threads and have come to believe that it was because of the kernal that I flashed last night since after doing so I had 2 LoS'. So now all I want to do is have cwm, stay rooted and have the stock kernel. Can I go into odin and just flash this kernel to keep my root, cwm and have the stock kernel? Or is there some long process I have to go through to do that? Btw, the kernel that I have now is "2.6.35.7-g130e817-dirty"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
QBKING has some great videos on how to do exactly that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
Yes. Just flash and you will have all those
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AreOh:
He has videos showing flashing kernels through cwm. I should take that route? I thought they had to be done with odin. Or is that just initially if you dont have cwm? I'm new to flashing kernels. I came from a G2 and just flashed roms. The kernels usually came with the MIUI roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I suggest following the video in the yellow triangle thread..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
He has videos flashing roms, kernels, mods via odin and cwm. If you wanted you could could use OP's threads and achieve stock rom with root and recovery.

This is exactly the kind of video you should watch

I hate to look like such a noob but I havent really been doing much with my phone because of the LoS.. so.. how do you flash this since its a zip and I assume needs to be a tar for Odin? My phone is 100% stock at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
you have to root your phone first with a rooted kernel. to flash zip files move the .zip file to the root of your sd card and use clockwork mod to flash .zip files from your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
Ah.. makes sense.. I saw a couple of references this was flashable through Odin. Maybe that was an older version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
it has 2 files. you can use odin or cwm, but it doesnt contain root so you have to use a kernel to root your phone first
