Looks like it'll be done at 8:10 or so. About a quarter of the way through if the file size to the other md5 holds up. I'm heading to trivia night at the local pub but I'll RDP in from the bar and move the file over for your access. Don't want to hold up progress. haha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
A little unclear: is there any known benefit to flashing anything besides the EK02 modem at this point? Any updates in the rest that we're aware of?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
hour and 20 minutes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
For not knowing the total package size, not a bad estimate! About 600MB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
very close. 544MB
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
If it was a Stock EG30 with a moden yes people that have EG31 could have rolled back and went to the EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Are you uploading the file or downloading it from Samsung? (sorry don't feel like reading pages right now)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
he's uploading to a ftp site
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
uploading it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I'll flash it and see if it rolls back the modem. I am one on EG31.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
I am betting it won't it will be Eg31 that you get along with the rom and kernel.

I was talking to samsung they said ek02 is a test build due out in December but they said build kg 05 might super seed it ... Made friends with the guy

Hi to get from my eg30 modem to the new ek02 modem do I just flash in cwm? Or do i need to wipe something. Forgot to say I'm on blazer from with rogue eg30 kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Just Flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
need to return back to stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Has anyone actually had a chance to really get in and compare/contrast between EG31 and EK02? Obviously I don't mean performance wise unless someone has two of these phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
Not for the modem. All you need is to be on the EG30 modem. You only need to go back to stock odex for flashing the EK02 ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
So should I just flash from blazer rom or do i need to go back to stock? And if so could someone point be to a good stock rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andrewqueen:
thank you:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
No problemo

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yogib83:
That's interesting, I get horrible 4G reception in Seattle, but my 3G operates better/faster than my 4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Hey can you just extract the modem from the tar, zip it and see what the CRC32 is for that file(7-zip & WinRAR show it on the last column). The one below is for the EG31, so see if it matches

EB21F179
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMV-P:
I'm getting horrible 4g strength with ek02 were eg30 its were very good..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
It might just be your signal. I don't think I have read of anyone else having 4g problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
At the supermarket be back in 30. You'll have to tell me how to do that I doubt know how or pint me in the direction of a tutorial.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
I took the modem.bin out (it's EG31) and then zipped it with 7-zip and then calculated checksum

CRC checksum for data and names: 845a3fbb
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryanmv213:
I have two phones both on stock EG30. I can flash one with EK02 and run some tests between mine and my wife's. Just point me in the right direction regarding what tests to run and what parameters you would like them done at
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyline247:
Just got my E4GT at 6pm est, and now, at 9pm, I have it rooted, & updated to EK02, thanks to your great works.

There is noticeable higher data transfer rates from the og stock. Overall, EK02 is a little snappier, & the UI has minor changes. Haven't had LoS, but like I said, I just got the device. Coming from a Nexus S 4G, I might just still be in shock over the greatness of this phone :-), so I'll let this ride through until the weekend & update my perceptions of the update then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
that archive includes EG31
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jatoprieto:
Bummer I'm sorry guys. I'll keep a look out for the correct file.

Edit:

There would be a way to extract it from my phone would there? That would be to easy?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Not your fault man. Just doing what you can to possibly help us through.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
I'm not talking about the CRC for the zip, just the modem file inside
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
they both have the same ctime, same md5, and a diff shows them to be identical..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:
can someone that has updated to ek02 pull there modem.bin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
No, it doesn't work when trying to pull it. Well, it does, but it doesn't pull properly and is unusable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Sorry Calkulin - mine matches as chris41g stated here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Sorry Chris, that wasn't for you, I was posting that for the person who uploaded it to save time as that would of been a hell lot easier than uploading a 500+MB file just to check
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tomyboombotz:
whats not making sense is how does 167 kb of a modem.bin be consider modem.bin arent they usally higher

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

it seems like the ek02 modem flash we have is just a binary patch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
FACT: We have devices in the wild that came stock with EG30 and EG31 modems

FACT: When those modems are pulled they are reflashed as EG12 leading many to believe that it's a "dummy" partition.

FACT: We have a stock dump from Sprint which is what they use to flash devices in the store.

FACT: That stock dump is EG30_Rev05 which contains EG31 modem.bin

FACT: OTA pushed to kings' device yesterday will only work on EG30 modems

Here's what I think happened:

Kings will have to confirm this, but my guess is that when he spoke to the developer they asked him to verify his baseband.

OR

Their update system polls the baseband version to determine which OTA to pull down.

They know there are EG30 and EG31 devices out there.

They know he had EG30 (programmatically or via phone call) and so they pushed to him an update for that modem to bring it to EK02.

Had he said he had EG31 they would have pushed an update for that baseband.

Going forward after this OTA everyone will be on the same baseband and it won't matter.

Something similar happened with the HTC Evo when they had HW versions that were different and they had to push different updates until they could unify them all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
thats exactly what it is, a redbend delta file.. very similar to a bdiff patch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
Yes, that has been said a few times that it is a patch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
I have a ticket to take my phone in on Monday they said they can update it to fix my issues I'm on eg 31. Maybe we can get a update for eg 31? I need a jig though my odin count is high
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Will of fire:
Do you think what I posted above can work viper?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
They're going to reflash you to EG31 I will bet.

Anything new on how well this is working on the LoS front?

Thanks all for the late nights/early mornings getting this up and going for us.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
so far no los on my front and i would of had atleast 1 by now even on lost. will keep updated on that though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Suprcynic:
I was getting 10+ LOS per day since I got the phone and I'm one of the lucky eg31 users. I flashed the eg30 that ends up being eg12 on the phone and haven't had a LOS in a day and a half. If that keeps up I don't mind waiting for the update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
also still getting the auto shutdown of games they did not resolved the sound issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipcarl:
I flashed the ek02 modem yesterday. Last night I went to a friend's house which is in a border coverage area where I usually get (multiple) LOS and got no LOS this time! Obviously one day is not a large enough sample to draw sweeping conclusions but it looks very good to me. I actually have two of these phones right now one on ek02 modem and one on eg30 modem but I didn't remember to bring the eg30 phone with me last night to contrast and see if it would get LOS while the ek02 did not. Next time I will remember to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
They just pushed the update. I never changed my baseband.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm not sure Samsung has acknowledged there is even a problem with this yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Sorry to ruin the mood, I was really hopeful that EK02 radio would fix LoS to... but I received one last night after flashing the radio yesterday morning. :( It was just the grey bars with an X, no circle-with-line through it. My sig shows what I am running.

Hopefully it was a fluke, and caused by something else... :confused: I'm still hopeful, but only time will tell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Kernel plays a part in los you may want to load up EK02 kernel to go with new modem.

I recommend Rogue *Stock EK02* v1.1.1 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1368207
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Is Starburst based on the new system and kernel? Perhaps the fix isn't solely in the radio, in any case, I haven't experienced am LoS since update, maybe I am just lucky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I suppose I could intentionally brick my phone, go to the sprint store to get it unbricked, then call the guy and be like "help the update will not reinstall."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Sounds like a winner for all.

Pull Zimage out of stock rom then flash , you will find boot up stuck on galaxy s2 black splash screen.

hehe that's what I did a couple weeks ago forced to flash 31 tar to bring my toy back to life
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Nope, StarBurst 1.9.8r not based on EK02.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's my opinion that kernel has nothing to do with LoS, but the truth is that none of us know for sure, so it's pointless to argue. At this point, I prefer to stay on StarBurst & Rogue and deal with LoS (I don't get them that often anyway, maybe 2-3 per week). I'm sure the ROMs and kernels will be updated soon with EK02 anyway. Just wanted to share my experience. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Did they ask you what your baseband was? If not, then the update system most likely queries that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I use to feel the same way about kernel till so many LOST kernel users reported going back stock finding LOS to be little to none.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Rated thread high also. Viper you are the best. Running ViperRom v.2.2, LOS checker and your work here. I have EG30, but have not updated to EK02. Would if I had a way back to EG30. Love your work. Ever grateful to all the devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
Maybe the kernel can change how the system shows the problem. The traditional circle-with-line through it is how my device originally showed a LoS when it was running all stock, but on LoStKernel and Rogue kernel (while they did reduce the occurrence, it's so random it's hard to make any solid conclusions) they simply show the grey bars with an X when a LoS occurs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Modem link dead for anyone? Please check and fix link or can someone put up a mirror?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Nope, update just showed up on my phone, and the guy called the next day to make sure I received it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Lol it would never work. The update leak got too much coverage, I have to be on their radar now as untrustworthy lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Well kernels definitely effect radio performance.

I was big HTC junkie EVO user for over a year,

Custom kernels were being spit out left and right for that device greatly improving radio performance.

Why that doesn't apply to ET4G kernels is mind boggling to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
I agree with others that you likely need to be running a EK02 kernel to potentially see LOS go away completely. It's not just about the modem in my opinion.

Which brings up a question I'd been thinking about. Can a kernel be tweaked from a pulled kernel? Or do you need the source code? Do manufacturers release the source code for kernel and system updates? If so, obviously we wouldn't see it until the update is officially pushed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zeau2004:
Mirror?

Cant download the modem....I think the link is dead or down...any one have a mirror?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SoulMan72:
I just downloaded it. You have to wait for at least 5 min after clicking the download button before the file download prompt comes up (at least thats what happened for me).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
XDA will vouch for you having nothing to do with leak.

Kings who.....never heard of him please supply another update to my device lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zeau2004:
Oh ok...will try again

Sent from a Galaxy far far away...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bhavi_jp:
IMO, kernel plays a big part in Los. I usually get multiple Los on any non stock kernels I have used until now, but with the stock kernel, I hardly get it once in a week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Although Jerdog says the eg31 is the official one that the sprint stores use. Since the ek02 automatically repushes itself to my phone, I wonder if I Odin the eg31 if a eg31 compatible ota will automatically push itself to my phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
No telling, but its worth a try if you dont mind possible being stuck on eg31.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -viperboy-:
I made a post about it in the LoS thread...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Interesting notion. Theoretically it should as you are on the access list. The question then becomes after the guy called you, did they then revoke you from the ACL? Probably not, but you never know.

Anyone know how the Sprint OTA system actually works?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
heck give it a try kings its not the end of the world if update fails to take.

EG31 modem with EG31 Stock kernel gave me no issues what so ever. I updated to Ek02 kernel yesterday performance has improved Signal & 3G data speeds even more
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Here King is still trying to help out what a guy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Probably not - given I think they turned off your update after you got it so they don't have it sitting out there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
+1

Jerdog needs to create kingsway sticky so ever member of ET4G community is aware of contribution hes made throw him thanks.

A little extreme ?, I think not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
Yup certainly won't break anything. I'm running the EK02 Stock ROM (gutted stock apps while I wait on the ROM boys to do their work), EG31 modem with the Rogue Kernel and no complaints here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
I believe the kernel does play a part. I posted this in another thread but I can't flash the new modem so I flashed the new kernel instead. So far a day and half with no LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I think it was after you left , but I Odin'd back to a pre update state 3 times (minus the radio of course) the night I received it trying to pull the full update.zip. I have no doubt it will repush, it is whether it will reinstall, are you 100% certain eg31 is an official sprint technician tar?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Im a 100% sure of it after chatting with member in this thread yesterday that works for Sprint.

I called local corp store shortly after spoke with tech finding that they had update available if needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
i was gonna bring up what you just mentioned.. how it kept pushing to your phone after ODIN. not sure if you mentioned it anywhere or not.. but did you tell the samsung rep what baseband you were on before it sent? If NOT then I think we have a good chance of seeing an EG31 to EK02 update :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
ok so the OTA system definitely checks your baseband before pushing and sends the right version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
Yes - what was posted is in fact what the stores use. It's even packaged in Samsung's official client-side update app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sportsplayer5959:
So does this mean if kingsway flashes the EG31 modem and reverts back to EG30 ROM he will get a push update for EG31 to EK02 and then we all will be able to update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
If they have not removed him from the ACL which comes down to how lazy they run their operation. Knowing how some of the larger companies can be, there's a good chance he would get it.

Damnit I feel like Frodo, why did the ring choose me! Lol

Nope, entire OTA fails with the yellow exclamation point, at least we know now that the official public OTA is going to fail, have to find a tar somehow, or a whole lot of ppl are going to be stuck. I obviously can update system and kernel manually, but the radio not so much.
