really? Just using it for the first time with none of the speed tricks.... I locked on very quickly and got down to 5M in just a few mins. This was on by screen in porch, through a roof.

From what I have read in other threads, Samsung gps's can't do 5M, LOL.

[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
OK, this is strange. In an effort to help someone out over on RootzWiki by getting the stock kernel from your "all_in_one_odin_ep4d.tar.zip" file, I noticed something a bit odd.

I looked at the zImage file (which is the kernel itself, from what I gather) in the "debloated_deodexed_ep4d.tar.zip" and compared it to the zImage file in the "imoseyon_kernel_charge_gb_4.0.0.zip" file that you can flash in CWM and I noticed that the file sizes are different and of course the MD5 checksums don't match.

I figured that I could build a ZIP file that can be installed via CWM and I just take the zImage file out of the "all_in_one_odin_ep4d.tar.zip" and put it in place of the zImage file that's in the "imoseyon_kernel_charge_gb_4.0.0.zip" file and name it "Stock EP4D Kernel.zip" but from my investigations earlier, I'm not sure if that's even possible since as I said above, the zImage files in the two files (debloated_deodexed_ep4d.tar.zip and imoseyon_kernel_charge_gb_4.0.0.zip) are different.

Unless I build an ODIN image that just contains the zImage file and that's it.

Is there any difference between the zImage files that get installed via CWM and the zImage files that get installed via ODIN? Because I know that the zImage file is written to the Charge's hardware via a command to the "bmlwrite" binary to /dev/block/bml8.

So if the cdma modem is ep4p where is the ep4d cdma modem.

At least now I know why voice is still garbled at times on this build.

Where did the likes of My Droid World and Team Blackhat get their hands on past ROM leaks? Do you think Verizon is going to release a full ROM package that can be downloaded? Where would it be posted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Was my mistake. I meant ep4p cdma. There is no way right now to extract the cdma modem from the delta update. I updated the OP... My apologies
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
ep4d cdma modem comes as a delta (change) to the ee4 radios only... Once you accept the ep4d GB update you have the actual ep4d cdma. The issue is there is no way to extract the cdma modem for purposes of odin packaging as this modem resides on a partition that is inaccessible.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
The zImage kernel included in the all in one odin is IMO's 4.0 kernel for ep4p. Not sure of why there are size difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fleabubble:
How would you suggest we get the modem if we already used this package?
[Verizon Droid Charge] voigts:
Thank you for this. So far so good. I was only running stock EE4 rooted and debloated via Titanium, and wow does this phone now respond so much quicker and smoother!

When it comes to wiping the cache in CWM per the OPs instructions, post number 202 was helpful as well:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19795780&postcount=202

I just downloaded what the OP listed, used the step by step guide I linked to above, and wiped the cache per the above instructions. The phone automatically went into CWM when it rebooted which is quite handy. I removed my SD card during the operation, and once the phone booted back up, shut it down, plugged the card back in, and let it boot back up (took a while). All of my apps automatically reinstalled, contacts automatically resynced, and it all just works. Sweet! :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Right now the only way is to ODIN back to EE4 and accept the OTA.

Once we get our mitts on the ep4d cdma I will make another package. Sorry for the typo

EP4D modem versus EP4P...

After flashing the EP4D Odin package, I've had TONS more data dropouts with the EP4D modems. I've rolled back to the EP4P modems and not a single drop out yet this morning. Not sure if it's the Odin package or the drivers themselves, but, yeah...
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
Is it the leaked version of the update or the official OTA?

Anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jolars:
I had to uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers but other than that, everything worked great. Thanks!

I used Odin 1.85 and the deoxed set of files. Very nice!
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
So does this explain why some people still have the static/popping noise during calls?
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
Just a little confused........(what's new?)

I have flashed this version of EP4D and am not clear if I now have ext4 or rfs? I want to go back to stock briefly to accept the OTA and have some concerns regarding lagfix, etc.

I reread imnuts entire fix your phone thread and d/l'ed his pit file and ED2. It seems like I can use his Pit with an EE4 version but I"m not sure.

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to get back to EE4 to accept the OTA?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
The fastest way to get back to stock is flash your phone via odin. In the forum there is stock 2.2.1 non rooted available to download. Flash it to stock and accept ota.
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
So no pit file, no nothing, just odin the stock 2.2.1? I was just reading imnuts "fix any phone" thread and it sounds like many people are having trouble getting back to stock from this EP4D?

Thanks again, just wanna get it right.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Outsider2011:
So basically the reason for the static phone calls is the cdma modem because its not the ep4d modem..and to fix that we have to lose root, apply ota update and wait for root again? I think i'll wait for root with the ep4d cdma modem update..no point in losing root right now plus to those that didnt know use headphones or bluetooth headset and you'll have no static.

Sent from Droid Charge premium
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
there is no wait for root. Check out here for a cwm version of the stock rom already rooted, deodexed, with reboot options and a couple other tweaks.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10567-ep4dstockcwmfull-deodexed-stock-modemupdater-extras/
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
What you could do is this...

Convert back to RFS by disabling Voodoo Lag Fix and reboot to convert back to RFS. This makes it so that you don't have to worry about the stock kernel not being able to read EXT4.

Get into CWM and make a Nandroid Backup of your current rooted ROM.

Get back to stock EE4 and do the OTA update which should install the updated modems for both CDMA and LTE.

Flash CWM onto the phone.

Restore the Nandroid Backup you made.

Flash iMoseyOn's kernel. Remember, CWM doesn't make a backup of the kernel, you need to reflash that to the phone via CWM.

You're done.

Personally, I'm going to wait to get the EP4D modems via an ODIN file. They are bound to show up at some point. Until then, I'm going to keep the phone as is with the EP4D rooted and deodexed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
If you do revert to stock, which includes kernel and everything else, isnt it wipes everything down? Thats why it called stock? I think imnuts made tutorial how to revert to "stock". Following those steps will revert back to stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
How do I disable lagfix? (sorry for the noobness)

If you look at Imnuts thread you reference, quite a few people are bricking, or soft-bricking in the last cpl pages using his method....

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
That's why I always convert back to RFS before I ODIN anything to the phone. It avoids the whole soft-bricking thing that some people have encountered.

Remember... Voodoo Lag Fix is a hack to the kernel. Nothing more, nothing less. When you ODIN the phone it's always best to convert back to the native file system of the phone (RFS) before ODINing anything onto the phone.

I know some people have said you don't need to but after reading all of the horror stories, it's in my opinion that it's safer to just stay on RFS than to convert to EXT4. I know we used EXT4 in the past because of the absolutely horrible performance of the RFS file system in the past but with the latest ROM RFS performance has been greatly improved. Combine that with the "deadline" I/O scheduler and you get some great performance.

To disable Voodoo Lag Fix, go to the Market and download Voodoo Control (the free one). Once installed run the app, go to Lagfix Preference, and uncheck EXT4 /system and EXT4 Conversion. Once that's that, reboot and you'll be on RFS.

New prob. My sd card is not being read by any third party app. It only says voodoo on the sd card. But when im under "my file" it works

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
So for us that applied the delta update and have the latest EP4D modem is there a way to get just the system deodexed? I have it rooted already.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dotnetguyaz:
AFAIK, you can't flash modems through CWR. They have to be done through Odin. Again, this is AFAIK.
[Verizon Droid Charge] junksecret:
Thanks TR, just d/l'ed the voodoo control.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
It flashed successfully through Odin, but when it rebooted, everything was normal as I just had it except for the colors going back to the original. Usually when I flash something, I have to reset all emails, apps, but I didn't this time. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dotnetguyaz:
Sounds like you didn't do a wipe through CWR. Odin does not wipe. It only overwrites what is already there.

Reboot into CWR and wipe data/dalvik/cache and then you'll be good to go.

[Verizon Droid Charge] dotnetguyaz:
Yes, that's correct. Odin will overwrite what is already there. It will not wipe. Read the OP and you'll see:

--->

-Flash all_in_one_odin_EP4D.tar.md5 in ODIN

-Wipe Data after flash

-Wipe cache and Dalvik cache after flash

**This odin package does not automatically wipe data and cache... You must wipe data and cache after you flash the odin package** Don't ask why... just do it

Do we need to update modem? Link was provided by dotnetguyaz
[Verizon Droid Charge] dotnetguyaz:
I don't think so (and I need to edit my post, while I'm thinking about it). The problem I had was that using imoseyon's 4.0.0 kernel (which is based upon the EP4P kernel), the EP4D modem gave me lots of data drops. As soon as I flashed the EP4P modems, my data drops went away. I believe (and Danalo, correct me if I'm wrong here) that if I were to load the stock EP4D kernel with the EP4D modems, there wouldn't be any issues.

In all honesty, I can't say that it's a problem with the modem or my particular device (I used to run into this all the time with HTC devices).

Thoughts anyone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
danalo 1979 can you create Odin file for the stock OTA software(rooted)?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Ainvar:
Thanks, last night when I tried that file it soft bricked my phone after I applied the delta update. I will try again after I create another backup.

I tell you these last two updates have breathed new life into the charge. I actually switch from my bionic back to this phone since I dont have to deal with constant data drops like I do on the bionic. Hopefully I will be happy with this till I can get the galaxy nexus.

Added Device and SD Card encryption. VPN enhancements integrate IPSec VPN clients

into device security settings.

I just flashed the de bloated package from this thread via Odin. I was previously running a de bloated rom 2.3.6 ep4p. I did not disable voodoo lagfix before flashing with the new update. It's been 24 hours and I haven't encountered any problems. In my experience I only had to disable lagfix if I updated through recovery. If I updated through Odin, I've never had a problem with leaving voodoo lagfix intact. Knock on wood.

Did you have to use the PIT file or no? I've never used the PIT file in all of my time in flashing ODIN images to my phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] syntrix:
6 mins IIRC on a modern computer, but give it some time. Just make sure via download is complete when done.

Using the samsung utility, it can take my 5 year old laptop about 10-15 mins to just get through the checksum, then it flashes after that, then via download.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Five minutes? God, I'd be sitting there wondering if it locked up.

Checksum checks in ODIN happen for me (even on the largest of ODIN packages) in about less than five seconds. Then again, maybe it's the 6 GBs of RAM and the Core i7 in my system that I can thank for that.

[Verizon Droid Charge] knyghtryda:
it didn't start flashing, so you're fine. Unplug, then reboot your phone back into download mode and restart your Odin session. Sometimes Odin is picky about ports so change usb ports. I honestly don't know how many times I've been stuck at the same spot on my old Captivate, but a change of ports normally does the trick. Don't ask me why...

I just had a chance to play with verizon galaxy nexus. First impressions, it is fast, camera is freaky fast. Cool honeycomb like widgets. Nice size, slightly longer than Charge but a lot slimmer. I hated the onscreen buttons, they are horrible. while you are in the application those buttons disappear and 3 dots will show up only that you can barely see. Did not have chance to closely look at the screen and PPI density if I could notice it(pentile). But overall after playing with it decided I might go with razr or most likely wait for a quadcore phone next year when i can get a free phone from verizon. I was all hyped up about this phone but after playing with it I understood that I like my Charge a lot more.

Been doing some testing and 3G/4G switching definitly keeps my phone out of deep sleep as much as it should be. If I use LTE switch my phone spends lots of time in deep sleep. If I keep it on LTE 100mhz is on more than deep sleep when my phone is just sitting there. If you are not getting the battery life you are hoping for, something to consider.

I could be totally wrong but I thought the new updated modem is not included in this leak? Still running ep4p? I thought danalo mentioned this in one of his post.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Yeah, that is right. His ROM package contains the EP4D LTE modems but not the CDMA modems (which is used for phone calls).

My suggestion is this...

Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366041 and download the EE4B TO EP4D MODEM PATCHER package.

Get back to stock EE4 modems, not the whole ROM, just the modems.

Download that modem update pack mentioned in step 1 and put it on your phone's SDCard.

Get into CWM and run the update ZIP like any other CWM ZIP package (kernel, ROM, theme, etc.)

Your modems should now be EP4D, both CDMA and LTE.

I did the patch and the modem sucks I get clear calls on the ee4 for so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Okay, had a few noobie questions. First post here and I just wanted to explain my situation a bit.

I rooted my phone last week for the first time using the EP4P debloated and deodexed rom. Like others, I've been getting a bit of static within phone calls. Also when I rooted, I didn't actually know I couldn't use ROM Manager to install CWM. It was only after spending more time on this forum that I figured out we had a special version of CWM that we had to flash.

My questions are:

1) I would flash this ROM with the same options in Odin that I used for EP4P, which are Auto Reboot and F. Reset time?

2) If the answer to #1 is yes, and I have to clear the caches via CWM after the flash, won't it auto-reboot me into the actual android OS (this is what happened the first time I rooted)? I read somewhere in this thread that the first time you boot, it will go into CWM automatically to assist in clearing caches. I just want to make sure this is the case if it auto resets, and it won't put me into the live OS and do something stupid like brick.

Thanks for putting up with me. I'm loving being rooted and REALLY looking forward to have CWM so I can toy around with different ROMs more easily.

Cheers!

Charge.pit is used to re partition your internal file system after being on ext4 to convert back to rfs (stock file system). You do not have to use this file to flash modems...
