I've tried installing this ROM a few times.

Everything works well at first, then after the first reboot, it falls apart. On the first install attempt I thought it might be due to restoring apps. But the last two attempts I haven't restored anything and it still happens. I do a full wipe and format of data, cache and system, then additionally I run Calkulin's format all script.

"it", btw, is a continual resetting of the phone. Not a full reboot, everything in memory just dumps and restarts, ending up back at the lock screen. This happens every 30 to 90 seconds perpetually, regardless of whether or not the phone is being used.

Sorry if this has been addressed already, I didn't come across it while sifting through the nearly 300 pages! If this is a known issue with a solution, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

EDIT: I should mention that I've tried the stock voltage script already.

I had this happen to me once. When I searched the thread I read of it happening to someone who didnt have a default launcher set. When it happened to me I was playing around with the LCD density and I thought that caused it until I found that post about the one dude that it was happening to when he didnt have a default launcher set. Then I remembered while I was playing with the LCD density I did clear the default launcher and forgot to set adw as my default(I didnt check the box to make default) I wound up having to restore from a backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leebo73:
All. Finally figured out that you cant use titanium back up when flashing. Didn't restore system. Just factory data reset x3, wipe cache x3, wipe davlik catch x3. Flashed rom, wiped cache and davlik cache again, then rebooted. Restore fresh apparently from market and your good. No more boot loops and running great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
I prevented this problem from ever happening by deleting touchwise. This way I can leave auto update checked on Go launcher and not worry. Works, go launcher updated yesterday, no problems.

Can anyone tell me if the CWM included with the 1.5a is the ACSRecovery5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Got everything running on EK02, just need to finish porting the hotspot mod and it will be complete, so the update should be ready in the next day or so
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Awesome. Is the custom CWM included with 1.5a the ACSRecovery5? I cannot find it in the OP. I love the custom CWM, whatever it is. Just wondering for future reference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I'm still debating on that, so I can't say yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
v1.5a uses the Rouge kernel & recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Hey Calk, you have any info why on some phones, some people have hot reboots?

While trying every single rom lately, my phone randomly quickly hot boots. Theres been time where when the phone is my pocket, it reboots.

Im currently on Blazer Rom with the latest Ek02 kernal and its already did like 4 hot reboots today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Are you restoring any data? Have you tried wiping?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jxb25:
I'm at EG30 should I jump to the newest modem or just wait

Sent from my mistress
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
between roms i wipe everytime

/system

/cache

/dalvic cache

tried different kernals / radios all have the same hot reboot.

some say the lockscreen can cause random reboots but im on the stock lock screen that come with each rom and I use the standard samsung tw launcher.

only thing that i bring to each rom is that I do a titanium restore of some of my apps so I dont loose progress on some games ect...

when I say hot reboot what happens is that I can be swiping between home screens and then the whole screen will go black and then 1 second later the bottom leds light up and then the screen shows up reloading my launcher and icons ect...

I can tell if this happens in my pocket because Il pull my phone out and long press the home key and notice that there arnt any recent launched apps.

Any info or suggestions is grately appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Same issue actually (i'm on Calk's rom). We need to find out what we have in common (mine reboots to the lock screen since I have a pattern lock)... I was on EG30, then I switched to EK02 and it happened once more. I only restored three or four apps' data in titanium. (alarm clock, go launcher, timeriffic, and one more I can't remember). I wiped everything. I pretty much have it stock (with OverStew's bombastic ics theme) Rogue kernel, no setcpu, no added underclock, etc.

I just got my phone yesterday... so I wanted to give it a few days to smooth out... which is why I haven't posted my issues yet. Also, when I use the stock browser to download zips, it says download unsuccessful... is that a limitation to Touchwiz's browser?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Are you each setting a default launcher immediately after reboot AND immediately after restoring apps. If not, that is your issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
If I were you I'd wait a few days to see how the latest pans out. It's a no return proposition just like EG31, so you want to make sure you can live with the change. In a couple of days you'll see enough info around here to make an educated decision. But that's just me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
The download unsuccessful is a stock browser problem. I use the firefox browser if i need to download something that wont download on the stock browser.

But yeah as for the random reboots I been trying to get to the bottum of why it happens.

My phone is still new never been dropped bought it back in October. While it was stock from the store I never got any random reboots but I did get LOS from time to time where my signal will drop and it will show a small X where my signal bars were.

So I rooted to beable to change the kernal ect. I noticed now that im on EG31 baseband I NEVER get LOS at all. BUT that may be from the fact that my phone reboots it self through out the day. So in other words, my uptime is never really that high because uptime resets everytime phone is rebooted.

I tried almost every rom on here. Back when I was on an older Starburt build/rom my phone NEVER had random reboots. Seems like the random / hot reboots didnt start till I got to Calks roms. Now even if I do go to a rom other then Calks I still get the hot reboot. Just very random.

One of the kernals that im on has the Samsung Galaxy S boot logo with the sound to go with the boot sequence so today my phone is in my pocket and out of no where I here the Samsung Boot up sequence song pull my phone out my pocket and as you know its in the boot process...

As a run down, im currently on the Blazer Rom with baseband EG31 and kernal is EK02.

This situation seems to always get over looked by threads talking about themes n such when there are a handful of us with this problem.

At the end of the day im not sure if its a Phone hardware problem since it happens on every rom

OR

Is it that EVERY dev builds there rom around the same base / build and just add there theme to it and tweaks and call it there own rom? If thats the case then of course ima have the same problem on every rom lol.

I never change my launcher. I like the stock tw launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vMAC:
Does this Kernel include OpenVPN compatibility? (TUN Support)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Believe me. The phone's rebooting... not the launcher, lol. But to answer your question, I set Go launcher as my default. The other guy said he uses stock TW so I'm pretty sure Its not the launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Once again I agree with Just_s. If you aren't currently having problems then be patient and read reviews of the EK02 modem and see how its working for others
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Do you have very many apps? I don't. Maybe it's a rogue app we have in common that is constantly running. I had an issue with Andy-83. Every time I ran it, the phone froze. I searched, there are compatibility issues with it, so I uninstalled it. (bummer... I need a calculator for school.. now I have to go spend a hundred bucks :/). Maybe we have a bad app?

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

After I updated, I haven't had LOS.... but I've only been running it for about ten hours. We'll see tomorrow. Actually... I'm going to make a thread in general about it. brb:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
It seems like you both restored (as little as it may be) through Titanium am I correct? You said no mods added other than what's baked in?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Yeah, I use the latest version on TBackup thats on the market at the time of me installing a rom and then I restore about 50 or so appz / games.

No mods at all strictly what ever comes with the rom. No setcpu or anything.

PS: I actually wish I still had my EG30 baseband. I didnt have any hot roobts on EG30 baseband BUT I did have the LOS frequently. I thought about using this one dead pixel on my screen as a reason to swap it for a brand new one at the sprint store lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Correct. I pretty much included everything that I did in my post up there^^ I only restored data for a few things though. I'll try not restoring data whatsoever in a little (later tonight, will report tomorrow).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
doesn't Vipers LOS checker reboot your phone if it detects LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Good idea, but I never installed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Awe man, if thats the case then that mite be to why my phone been hot rebooting but than that kinda comes down to if each rom I been on had that cooked in or not. Because after I flash a rom, I never go and change kernals or anything unless its doing something unusual.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
It isn't cooked in (afaik) plus I didn't have it installed. It has it's own thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I've been getting hot reboots as well. Interestingly, they seem to be signal related. Two nights in a row now, when I walked into my parking garage at work, I got in my car, watched data go from 3G to 1X, watched the roam triangle pop up, then boom hot reboot. My battery chart showed I had some hot reboots this weekend as well on my trip to norcal.

Those getting hot reboots, did you flash a theme? I have AoF's ICS Twist theme running and I'm suspicious that it may be responsible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
No themes here on my end and no custom launchers or lockscreen. And I get hotboots just very randomly. Glad this is actully being discussed right now because it always gets looked over and skipped.

I been on almost every rom and get this hot reboot problem. its strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Let's try a clean install... no data at all restored and we'll go from there. Also, to the other poster, I think that's just a coincidence. I haven't noticed any fluctuating signal before the reboot.

Hey hypersonx, what apps did you restore data on (if any)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
Maybe start a new thread in General??? Seems like it isn't just Calkulin's related
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I restore data on all of them in tbackup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Well.... that may be our problem. I only restored three or four, though. I am going to try an absolutely clean install. I suggest you do the same. I'll report my findings later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
Roger that...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
I don't restore anything with TB and I get these hot boots. Viper rom 2.2 as it comes, no extra mods or themes. Clean install from Starburst 1.8
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Hmm... what apps do you have installed that would start at random intervals? (or stay running)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I think the devs are building from a bad base. Simple as that... which is why this problem gets carried into each rom...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Then EVERYONE would have this problem. Not just a select few. Plus, they build from stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
It's not that I don't believe you. I'm telling you what causes random reboots a huge percentage of the time is not physically going in and choosing a default launcher. I know it seems counter intuitive and I know that you probably never have had to do it before, but if I was in your shoes, that is the first thing I would check. Again, it doesn't matter if you are on stock, GO, LPP, or whatever, after flashing, hit the home button and select a default. If you are on fresh install, you should have a choice between TW and the included LPP. If you've added another launcher that will be in there.

If you have any concerns that I'm nuts, do a quick search and you will find dozens of posts recommending the same thing I am. Even if you think you have a default selected, the 30 seconds spent making sure is a lot less of a commitment on a known cause than the potential hours spent tracking down some other cause. If it doesn't work, you've lost nothing.if it works, you now have something new to share going forward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I'm sorry, you may have taken that the wrong way. I'm aware that is a common problem. I thought you were saying just the launcher was resetting and we just thought it was a reboot. Also, like I said, I set Go Launcher as my default. I had TW for a hour or two, then I switched it to Go Launcher. Also, I double checked right now. Go Launcher is definitely my default. Thanks for the suggestion though. Also, I agree. Spending thirty seconds can't hurt anyone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Good deal, beyond that, the next thing you might try is a Hands Free Reset. If you don't already know how, there's a howto link in my signature. Again, it may not be the cause, but it can be and is another simple step that certainly doesn't hurt. Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I usually do a fresh install myself (just did a odin bts ) and never had to choose a default launcher, it's always on the tw one by default, regardless if I press the home key. I know LP is available as well (going into all apps and clearing default) then, I get the option when pressing the home key.

I also don't get hot reboots, but seems weird that they would be caused not selecting the a launcher etc...who knows..

Maybe I'm not understanding the issue either...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Just_s:
Agree 100%, very weird. I've never had to worry about it on any other phone, but in this thread and Starburst you can find tons of examples of reboots, bootloops and other instability resolved by selecting a default launcher.

Go figure. Of course restoring anything from TB or MyBackup seems to cause issues for several users also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tracerit:
i just picked up a Transcend 32gb Class4 card. It only writes at a constant max of 2.35MB/sec but when I go to ClockwordMod recovery and mount the card, it'll write at 3.5-4MB/sec. Any idea what's going on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Well I guess it's good that you were able to identify it as a solution to the problem.

I have to say this - either there are slight differences between each phone, or just user errors by not taking all the necessary precautions when flashing various roms etc...

For the most part is nice to see we have a large number of knowledgeable phone geeks that are able to help people getting their phones up and working again. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigtoysrock:
Honestly, maybe just Facebook. Apps that get used daily are Facebook, XDA, weatherbug elite, angry birds, go launcher. The only ones that refreash or anything is Facebook. Hotboots are inconsistent as to when. Its like the launcher TV's, but media scanner runs so it is a boot. Does not happen enough to really bother me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sterist:
is there any way to do away with the "battery saver script" and the preset UV? if I'm going to try this rom i don't want it handling these things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its funny you mention the 1 dead pixel. I got the OG Epic on launch day and after about a week or so I noticed a pixel that was green all of the time. I had insurance and took it in to get it replaced and they told me that you have to have at least 5 dead pixels for it to be exchanged. I had to argue that I bought the case, external charger with extra battery, screen protector and had paid for a few movies on Media Hub and I had to live with a green dot on my phone...finally the manager exchanged it for a new one....just a heads up there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Maps and Social Hub as well as Google+ are known to open and waste battery on their own. I got rid of Social Hub and apps tied to it and I just install Maps when I need it. Instead I put the blacked out Facebook and Twitter apps on my phone and it made a big difference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Truballa11:
Where do you get blacked out twitter. I have the black facebook. And i have searched high and low
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Yes. It is in the OP, look under that section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
OK. This is getting frustrating. I did a clean install yesterday and didn't restore data anywhere. I just had a random reboot right now. Sigh. I don't have Facebook either. If it were maps or social hub, then everyone would have the issue. Now that I think about it, my eco 3d had random hot reboots too... It mist be a bad app... unless my luck is that terrible. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wbyrd:
So with the new EK02 modem coming out the other day and all the talk about it not being able to be used if you're on the EG31 modem I checked to see what modem I'm on. My phone says baseband version is S: D710.10 S.EG30. Now I'm to understand that this means I'm on the EG30 modem. However, I'm also on this ROM which the title of the thread clearly says is EG31 as well as the OP saying it's based on new EG31(EG30 Rev 5) build. I did verify that my phone shows build numer is Calkulin's E4GT ROM v1.5a.

Which one is correct? Is my phone correct and the thread is wrong? Or are both correct and does flashing this ROM not change the modem?

With everything going on right now about the various modems not being compatible with OTA's I am very leary about changing my modem and want to make sure I don't inadvertantly change mine. Can someone please confirm exactly what I would have to do to change the modem? Does it have to be done through odin and as long as I'm only flashing through CWM I'm safe?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AreOh:
Is my phone the only one that when disconnected from the charger it immediately drops down to 99%?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Flashing this rom won't change the modem, the OP is correct, you're just confused. The rom is based if the EG31, according from what you wrote you're still on stock EG30 which enables you (if you want) to flash the latest EK02 leak, but keep in mind that as of now you won't be able to go back on what you're currently on (EG30), you'll be able from that point on to flash only EG31-EG30rev5 or EG12 - only way to change the modem is through Odin.

There are a couple of modem threads made that have the ones I mentioned above. ROM,KERNEL,MODEM can be flashed independently from each other, the OP from this rom doesn't state anywhere that it changes your modem. So your phone is correct and OP description is correct.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
No, they all do on custom. Nothing to worry about, it's still charged at 100%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
actually the only current way to upgrade to ek02 is through clockwork mod not odin. the other full modems like eg31 and eg12 are through odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ctking07:
text messages being read out loud after install

how to fix...my phone wont stop announcing the incoming text messsages i recieve anyone know how to disable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
LOL... You did a fresh install yesterday or last night and didnt use Titanium Backup and still got a hot reboot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Thanks for clarifying, must of missed that part. Thought all 3 were Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SayWhat10:
So what does "based off of EG31" mean, if like me as well am using the stockEG30 modem? this rom is made for the EG31 modem?

im as confused as the other guy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
EG31 as far as the ROM is actually a different revision of eg30 but if you Odin the tar it changes your baseband to eg31 once that happens you can't get the ek02 modem. If your baseband is eg30 your fine. I dont understand the confusion or why this modem thing is dominating every thread. I an a total noob and couldn't even think of developing but I get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
No, the modem has nothing to do with it. "Based off EG31" means the ROM uses the EG30 Rev5 (EG31) stock ROM as a base, then tweaks from that base. You can run this ROM on any modem version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
You can have based off EG31 rom, EG12 modem, EK02 kernel running. It doen't matter, you'll start running in to compatibility issues once miui, CM, start getting around to this phone. They have their own modems etc.. As of right now, you can match whatever kernel with whatever modem and rom.

You're on EG30 stock modem (from reading around looks like newer devices are being shipped with EG31..), if your phone is running good with that radio modem (no LOS, good signal etc..) there's really no need for you to update it, cause once you do there's no way of going back to it if you do start having issues, other than EG31 and EG12. That's the big talk that's going around atm. (Prob a matter of time before one of the devs figures out how to extract EG30 though..:D)

I tried to be as clear as possible, hope it helps. lol

Btw- EG31 and EG30rev5 are the same one, just two ways of calling it. EG12 is its own (some say it's close to stock EG30, but not the same), EK02 is an update patch for stock EG30 (which you have) not a full modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
I restored apps. No data. It has to be an app... I think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I flashed the Stock EK02 Rom this morning which soon the DEvs will be building there next custom roms off of. THis time im only going to use Titanium backup to restore my CHu CHu Rocket game and thats it. Everything else i will download from the market.

My kernal is EK02 also and Modem EG31. Ima run this setup today to see if i get any hot reboots and will report progress. Il probaly make a brand new thread if I do get a hot reboot today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
PM me your result, too. I got a hot reboot literally swiping through my homescreens... it's annoying when you're trying to show off the phone to iPhone users :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hypersonicx:
I know what you mean...

I had the same situation at our Thanks Giving party for my family and had my phone playing games / video / music on the HDTV with MHL in front of alot of people and then hot reboot... >.<

I did end up booting to recovery and flashing roms at the party since I keep a couple of them on my memory card for trouble shooting but frustrating none the least... Evo 3D been on my mind lately but that would be a step backwards from this phone.
