What don't you get from stock? All that was changed was adding root which is stated in op. Stock = CIQ thus part of the public outcry.

I'm on 2.3.6, baseband EL13. Will I be able to use this to get back to stock?

If I can use this one - how do I do it please? Is this a CWM one?

Thanks.

Quite sure if there were a certain group of individuals who could not flash this update Calk would of let us know. It appears to be safe to flash for all, if not please let us know if anyone has issues upgrading and what radio you were on.

but as calkulin has stated this is just rom, no modem. wont have modem available till tar is available.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
yeah thats why i was wondering. so did it change your radio when you flashed this? were you on eg31?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
This is an OS update only and will NOT affect/upgrade your modem. Numerous sources have said there are more than the LOS fix in here though so it may be worth investigating. However I'm sure the ROM Dev's will get to upgrading their stuff once they have time.

If you are on the EG31 modem it looks like you're going to have to wait. I've been able to downgrade to EG12 but nowhere along the line have I gotten it to get it to EG30 which is what is needed to apply the delta modem upgrade which was provided last night. There are better out there than me, but I'm pretty good at tinkering around and no luck so far, and if the Dev's are saying the same, take their word for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
This Rom will not flash a radio or modem. It is just the Rom so anyone should be able to flash it from my understanding. It is the modem that people believe will fix the LOS issue.

The modem needs to be flashed seperately and can only be flashed over those still on the EG30 modem. Anyone who flashed the EG12 modem or the EG31 modem cannot get the new modem right now. You should still be able to run this Rom but if you are getting LOS the Rom will probably not be your answer to fixing it.

If all people have done was flash roms then you should still be on EG30. If you odin'd the full leak by squshy that was released last week then you have modem EG31. If you odin'd the EG12 modem, then you should know because you would have odin'd that all by itself and should have been aware what you were doing.

Anyone who flashed the new Rom, can you please let us know what differences you noticed. Is TW updated? Any new midgets include, etc?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Setting-about phone- and look at your baseband. That's your modem.

So do I flash this with Odin, and then flash a CWM kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Thanks Calk but I'll be waiting for an update to your rom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
It's coming, just need to redo all my tweaks on this sys :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Oh, is it not usable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Yeah I figured, looking forward to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Not usable? What's not usable?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The ROM, people were saying they're waiting for another update to flash this, is the impression I got. I was just making sure that this is 100% usable before flashing.

Flashing is done in CWM, yes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itster2:
the only thing that I'm running into (which is nothing) in CWM the power button is not the enter button. The enter button is assigned to the home button now. The power button is the go back button now.

odd, but ok
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
use the rogue stock kernel. their version of cwm is awesome and is exactly what you want. plus they just updated it to the ek02 version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I'm on the stock ROM with bubby's CWM kernel. Should I just flash this zip over the stock ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itster2:
I kind of like it this way. I'll stick with it and see if I get sick of it

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

do your wipes and flash.. You should be fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So factory reset then flash the zip...I backed up apps with Titanium root. Will my Market links still be there, or will apps just start restoring from the Market?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itster2:
I used format all and then flashed. Restored apps via titanium

edit: don't use ICS theme, your phone will keep soft restarting. Do a backup if you want to experiment
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fooz:
Awesome, but going to wait until the ROM is updated. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Why? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
i dont think you need to do anything, i usually just flash new kernels in the recovery and dont wipe anything. i believe in the script it wipes what it needs. i have never had any issues.

it will take a longer to boot because the dalvic was wiped and needs to be rebuilt but you will be fine.

edit, sorry this was just for the person who wanted the cwm changed if they wanted to use the rogue kernel with rogue recovery. not to flash this entire rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
for calkulin to tweak it!:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
If you backed your stuff up then you are good to go but they do not load up like the Evo did when you sign back into the market. My suggestion would be to not reload your data for all your apps. when you do reload your data do it one app at a time and test that app out before restoring another... It could save you lots of BS in the future
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yeah I didn't back up data in Titanium. Restoring it all now, so hopefully my Market links are there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I agree right now this is the hottest new thing and everyone wants to flash it but by tonight or tomoro there will be a host of new custom roms built off of 2.3.6. So I agree I can wait a day or so for that. Hey Calk how about another barebone rom and lets really rip out everything and get it down under 150 if possible.

I compared your rom and Naerok to see what was ripped out and ripped out the same stuff he did and got your barebone down to around 150 or so... It ran great... Thx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Well this is the stock ROM so we have something stable at least.

Will this also update the modem? I need the modem updated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] magoo5289:
No, this has nothing to do with the modem. If you are on EG31, you will have to wait.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Just flashed this. Great stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
yeah I've used calk's roms and been a tester for him for a few of his ports as well on the evo and i think he was on the touch pro before that. His aim is always lightweight, speed, stability and very clean. its definitely well worth the wait on this for the tweaks to be added. I'm just glad i didn't flash the EG31 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Yea but you can run this without the new modem.. Honestly the EG31 Modem for some serves its purpose. I have no issue with the radio at all. So flashing another radio to fix something that is not broken to me would make no sense. With an update of this rom later, I will achieve what everyone else has, a custom rom and and no LoS...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I am EG30 and I am looking to upgrade the Modem as I am positive it was improved to help with LoS so if your updating and not updating the modem then theres no other point than having 2.3.6.

Guess I will flash the modem in Odin then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Which thread is this modem in? Does flashing this modem do anything to the data on the phone, or is it just a firmware update?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I'm still a little confused as to why I would want to run this.

I understand it's Android 2.3.6, but what exactly will it offer to me is what I don't get.

I'm currently on Sprint/Samsung factory EG30, with Android 2.3.4 ROM. Everything is stock except I rooted and installed CWM5 so I could run a couple root only apps such as Adfree and SetCPU.

I'm among those who have NOT flashed EG31 or EG12.

That said, I have no LOS issues. Well one time I lost service when I was in a basement and it didn't roam or come back to Sprint when I went outside without a reboot, but that is IT.

I hit no bars on Sprint and roam often while working and I still never get LOS. I'm trying to decide if I still need this or would want this.

Thoughts? Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
2.3.6 introduces a lot of bug fixes, so there's that and it's supposed to fix LoS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crypt0kiddie:
I thought this didn't include a new modem though? Or was it that it wouldnt FLASH a new modem if you were NOT still on EG30?

That said, it's the modem that is going to affect LOS right? That's how I understood it anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flabinall:
I admit it...I'm confused....I have flashed the eg31 modem....can i still flash this rom? I just want to check out 2.3.6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toprock23:
I wouldnt say 2.3.6 is worthless. I don't know if u guys know about the sound bug that causes dungeon defenders and other graphic intensive games to crash. Im really hoping that this fixes it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
You can still flash the rom. Just not the mode until there is a stock tar. The modem and rom are interchangeable

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
This does not include the modem but strictly the OS. You can download and take a look at the files if you like. It has the same files as any normal rom we flash. I have not looked at it fully but I do not see anything out of the ordinary. If someone else does please let me know. Remember these developers label the threads accordingly and this thread only states rom only " [ ROM ] Stock Rooted EK02 System [ OS 2.3.6 ]"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
If you rooted your 2.3.4 ROM, and dumped it to a flashable zip, it'd be the same as this, only the version difference.

Make sense now? This is the official Samsung ROM, Android 2.3.6 - and it's rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ElAguila:
Do we know yet what this updated rom brings to the table? Has it improved the rotation lag issue and has it fixed the exiting when playing any games? Since I have the eg31 modem I am sol on flashing the modem to get rid of the LOS but if this updated rom can fix some of the major issues I would like to flash it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Seems much smoother to me.

Backup your current setup in CWM, and backup your apps with Titanium. Restore them once you wipe/flash this ROM and you will be back to normal, with an updated OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Joe Smithereens:
Has anyone who flashed this had a chance to find out if the headset music control has been fixed?

How do I know which modem I have, and what I need to upgrade to for faster 4G/no LOS? I haven't flashed any modem yet so I'm on whatever came with it stock, and I am on this ROM.

Settings>about>baseband

The update has been live not even a day. Modems differ for everyone. There is no way to answer your question with certainty.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
My modem is EG31.

So how does anybody give guidance for which modem to flash? What I am understanding is you can only flash once, you can't go back to what you had? I'd rather not mess up my data connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
That's odd that you're on EG31 but haven't updated. It's my understanding the phone ships with EG30 and EG30 only. I don't think phones ship with EG31. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody.

You can't flash a modem you don't have. That is the point being made on these threads. We do not have the EG30 modem, so we cannot flash it. If you flash EG31, you can choose between EG31 and EG12, because those are available. If you're on EG31, it seems you cannot use this new modem right now anyway, so that's here nor there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Yeah, I mean I have a data connection with EG31, so it's obviously working. Connection speed is anywhere from 8mbit down to 13mbit down, and about 1.5mbit up.

I didn't flash anything myself other than ROM's on here so I wouldn't have updated the modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Well for whatever reason, you're not on the stock EG30 modem, therefore, you currently cannot update it to EK02
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The ROM I'm on is an EK02 ROM, and it works. Maybe I'm not understanding something...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Modem is not included in this update. If you flashed this, you have the update [EK02 kernel, EK02 build] but you don't have the EK02 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Hmm, in the modem thread I am being told that the EG31 modem won't work with this ROM, even though I have a data connection working, right now, with that configuration.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazyflipj:
Flashing a rom thru cwm doesn't upgrade modem. It is possible to update to EK02 ROM regardless of rom and modem version, but to upgrade modem, you need to be on EG30 modem.
