Has anyone worked on taking this 1x/3g mod over to ICS yet? Several of us amateurs have struck out even finding the stuff to edit. :confused::confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diegolopez10:
Nivron, will something like this work to get rid of the roaming indicator? I have an issue on my Dinc, when im on my home area, where I know for sure I have 3G, but instead I have the roaming indicator. I haven't found a solution to this, and its very annoying. The thing is, whenever I'm not in my home area, I have the 3G/1X icon.

Sorry for posting this question here, but I'm desperate for a solution to this.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdx321:
Thanks for the post, just tried it and it's working great.:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
If you are getting the roaming indicator and NOT the 1x/3G icons, it seems that you may not have data. If that is the case, you need to check to see if roaming data is enabled. For this phone, for example, when roaming, with or without this mod, you should see 3G (if not patched) or 1x (if patched) along with the roaming triangle.

If your home area is not supposed to be roaming, I'd contact your carrier to find out what is going on. For Sprint users, there are PRLs that will make it so when you are actually roaming, the phone will treat it as a home network. I'm not sure about your particular circumstances, however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] diegolopez10:
Yes, thanks... I do have 3G, the thing is, my cellphone is from a Mexican Carrier (Iusacell), and currently I'm using a JB ROM, that its based from a Verizon ROM, so I guess that's why it still has the roaming indicator, because it "thinks" I'm outside my home area (which I'm not). My data is quite just fine, it's actually not a problem, but kind of annoying to have the R along with the signal bars.

Just wanted to give it a shot, and see if you could help me.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me.

Thanks both of you. I've just thanked all the posts that i can on this thread.

I don't exactly need this, but the new people do. People want something new to try, but their afraid if they flash miui, will they brick their phones because they don't know what to do? Those questions people's curiosity back. These kinds of threads make it possible for people who don't know how to do it to be able to enjoy something new, a fresh rom that they've never seen.

Backup your EFS folder also, better safe than sorry.

Awesome wish this guide was available a few weeks ago when I had flashed MiUi!

Also, not that there is a real threat with MiUi messing up the EFS folder but I think it might be wise to include instructions for backing up the /efs and nv_data.bin, imei etc. Better safe than sorry.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Actually MIUI automatically backs up the efs, imei, and nv_data.bin. Just look for the "backup" folder on the internal sd card.

i am new to this rom...coming from CM7

wat i did was basically flashing MIUI stock on top of CM7 without ODIN back to JFD. not too sure what will be the consequences in doing so but so far im running fine except for the phone at times not able to detect my external sd card (micro SD)

i am saving up this post for future use as well. donwloaded all the file too just in case my phone goes bonker.

thanks a lot cos ur post help me to understand MIUI rom better!

Keeps on FC!

Why does it keep on FC?! It was fine until I restored all my apps+data. I didn't click system apps. So I don't know why it keeps FC on me. :(

Is it ok if we skip steps? Like if we already rooted it can we just go to the flashing part or do we have to flash back to stock and do the ODIN thing and everything?

Can someone please help me? :o Thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ best to odin to JFD when changing from one rom to another. Clean is always better. Especially if you are talking about FC's.

For those talking about the EFS backup, CM7 automagically does this on flash. I would assume MIUI does as well, but maybe it does not. If it doesn't, it should.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
@Lurker!

Whenever flashing a new ROM you should use Odin to return to stock. If you don't return to stock your previous ROM may conflict with the newly flashed ROM and cause issues like FC's, data issues, etc... Also, *none* of the steps should be skipped in the guide, especially steps 2-7.

@s15274n

By the way you are correct, MIUI automatically backs up the efs. I just went looking around my internal sd card and found a folder called "backups" containing a backup of the efs. Thanks for pointing that out.

hi,

I am on 2.3.4 with Jetpack 3.1 and my modem is KB5 with JVH kernel.

Do I need to do everything from scratch if I want to try MIUI?

Can I just flash it like a regular ROM?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhc:
I took the plunge and it works!!

Now , do i need to install setCPU or MIUI takes care of everything :) ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
To overclock the phone (up to 1.3ghz with stock MIUI kernel), undervolt, and/or underclock then yes SetCPU is needed. However if you don't want to overclock, underclock, or undervolt then you don't have to install SetCPU... Also, i'm glad to hear my guide worked for you. :)

Hi,

Am I allowed to use the built in updater in miui rom for vibrant?

And if I did that, do I have to back up my stuff before updating it through OTA?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Just curious, why are these install instructions different than those Nick posts up?

His instructions are very easy. ALso on your instructions you say odin to 2.1, then the kernel then the rom. HIs instructions want you coming from a 2.2 rom, then just flash the rom using cwm recovery.

Why the difference in instal methods?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yes, the updater app can be used in MIUI to update and although you don't necessarily have to backup it's always better to be safe then sorry.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
The method in my guide is the way I've personally always flashed MIUI and it's a pretty quick process once you've gotten the hang of it. Plus by flashing back to stock issues like FC's are unlikely... Flashing the kernel is how CWR is achieved in my guide. However, I haven't tried this other method and or seen the instructions for it. If you have a link to his instructions PM the link to me and I'll gladly try it out.

hi,

What is the best kernel in your experience to offer the best battery life?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Well this is how I install CM-7

1) Put a copy of the cwm update.zip on my phones internal sd

2) Put a copy of stable cm-7 on my phones internal sd

2) Odin to stock JFD 2.1

3) Run the cwm recovery update.zip twice. I'm now in cwm recovery update.zip

4) Wipe dalvik, format system/data etc...factory reset, clear partitions, etc etc

5) Then choose zip from sd, find cm-7 zip, and flash.

6) I'm done.

This is how I install MiUi

1) Put a copy of the cwm update.zip on my phones internal sd

2) Put a copy of MiUi on my phones internal sd

3) Put a copy of deodexed/rooted Kb5 zip on my internal sd

4) Odin to stock JFD 2.1

5) Run the cwm recovery update.zip twice. I'm now in cwm recovery update.zip

6) Wipe dalvik, format system/data etc...factory reset, clear partitions, etc etc.

7) Then choose zip from sd, find deodexed/rooted stock kb5, and flash. This now has put me onto a 2.2 rom.

8) Reboot phone, let 2.2 fully load, then shutdown and go back into recovery, again wipe dalvik, format, etc...then install from zip...this time choosing miui rom.

Done.

I put the different steps in bold. The only difference really is that nick has in his instructions to go from a 2.2 rom to MiUi, thats why the extra steps for me to install 2.2 when going to MiUi. For cm-7 I skip it.

Of course ALWAYS DO A BACKUP, and my EFS folder with my nv_data.bin and imei info is backed up.

The install instructions per Nick are at this link for Li/SS. It is suggested to use these same instructions to install stock miui. In the first original post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099533

"INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (For Lithium and SS If you are on MIUI, CM-7 or a 2.2 ROM)

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Wipe Cache Partition

-Wipe Data/Factory Reset

-Format-System,(Located under "Mounts & Storage)

-Flash LE Lithium, SS, ICS, or iPhone Clone

-Fix Permissions

-Reboot and Let Settle For 8 Min

-Reboot again Let Set For 4 Min..

**THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO A "T"**

TEST THE ROM B4 YOU RESTORE ANY APPS

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Uh, that's not the not the Bali-CM kernel that's in the link, that kernel you gave me the link to is called Overstock. Go up into my guide and look for the compatible kernels section. You'll find a link for the Bali-CM kernel. Trust me, once you flash Bali you'll see increased battery life :D.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Still not sure that you are using Bali, because Bali allows a higher max of 1400Mhz then the 1200Mhz you say you are getting.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Currently I'm not using Bali, so I can't give you my personal undervolt settings. However, a quick search came up with these as stable settings for Bali...

1300 - 0uv

1200 - 0uv

1000 - 50uv

800 - 75uv

400 - 100uv

200 - 125uv

100 - 150uv

To apply these settings go into SetCPU, click the Voltage tab, then set the above undervolt settings and click "apply". Make sure "set on boot" is off, this is in case the undervolt settings are unstable for whatever reason. Then do a hot re-boot and open the SetCPU app then click the home button. Now test out your phone, use the browser, watch youtube videos, make sure the phone is stable and doesn't crash. If all seems good go back into SetCPU and check "set on boot" under the voltage section and click "apply" again.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reVox_77:
thanks!

Hey just wanted to thank you for the helpful guide. MIUI is the first rom to make me jump from 2.2. Was previously running Axura and it's been a while since I've odined, etc. so the guide was helpful in having everything available, and the hand-holding great for 1st time flashers or the uninitiated.

The specific wording for Step 7, section "in CWM" should read:

"wipe data/factory reset" the way you worded it makes it sound like the procedures are separate, but easy enough to figure out. Also, you made no mention of wipe cache partition (not sure if this is recommended) but I did it anyway.

I flashed 2 Vibrants in a row, 1 vanilla already on 2.1 and the 2.2 Axura. I did not get the bootloop on the Vanilla, but did get the loop on the second phone (both were odined to 2.1, reset etc. as above)> and your battery pull instructions worked perfect.

Anyway, a big thanks.

I'm in Australia (Optus Network, VIC) so may look at testing a few of the alternate modems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:

It could be... But I've flashed back to stock from some pretty messed up roms and even a softbrick and never had the charge boot issue. Plus if you're following my guide right then this definitely shouldn't be happening.

Let's try some troubleshooting...

-Are you checking "re-partition", "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time" in ODIN when going back to stock rom?

-Are you using the Samsung cable? If so, try using a different USB cable. I always use my old blackberry's USB cable. This is because I read somewhere that the Blackberry USB cables are usually higher quality then the one's that came with our Vibrants. Or you could try a different port on your PC.

-Perhaps your drivers are installed incorrectly? Get samsung drivers here.

-Are you using Odin 1.70?

Tell me if this helps your issue.
