[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you try hitting your phone with a rolled up newspaper...bad phone, bad phone!

Seriously, what recovery are you using? If it is Bonsai recovery then that is your problem. It is not working well with EI22 ROMs. Install either CWM 3.1.0.1 or the official 5.0.2.7 which is now supported by ROM Manager (in the market). Flash the zip file found in the 5.0.2.7 thread in development, download ROM Manager and click install clockwork and select Samsung Epic 4G and you should be fine.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
im usen acs5 1.0.0.0
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What happens when you try to flash one of these stubborn ROMs? You should switch to CWM 5.0.2.7 anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
stubborn? what is that?

EDIT: flashed back to stock rooted with cwm 5.0.2.7
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
The ROMs you said wouldn't flash.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonsimons34:
I have encountered this problem before. Deffinately the recovery in this case.. I reccomend getting the CWM recovery for your phone, and following the standard recovery flashing procedure from adb shell. This alway fixes the error when there is not another underlying cause
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
can you link me the process to doing this?? with adb shell?????
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
i tryed all of them i think the only ones that worked were cm7 miui asop and cleangb.... and stock
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
He is talking about one-click root for EC05 with CWM 3.1.0.1. It is stickied in the top of Development.

Since you installed CWM 5.0.2.7 did you try to flash one of those ROMs? What happens when it doesn't work? Boot loop?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
just stay on samsung logo nothing for like 3 mins then i just restore my old sett up like stock android.

EDIT: I odin cwm 5.0.2.7 if that helps
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Do a factory data reset before flashing. It may take up to 5 minutes on SAMSUNG.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
nothing still stuck on samsung logo
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Did you go into CWM and do a factory data reset first?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
yes i did i went back to ec05 and cwm 3.1.0.1 and gonna try flashing
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Try Legendary
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
nothing worked :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
At this point please explain your procedure stsep by step. Which selections you are making in CWM and which files you are using. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
im thinking it my sd card i reformated it and gonna see if that works

EDIT: it was my sd card got it :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Damn Tim, this was a tough one. Glad you got it working.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timothy08:
i dont get it.. why would my sd card be the problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Because that is where your ROM you are flashing is stored. So if even 1 bit gets misread and flashed then the whole flash is borked.
[Droid X General] Allmaechtig:
So i was going to go from the AOSP build of ICS back to a GB ROM and didnt got back to stock (bad me)

so i just flashed the SSD rom .zip .. it didnt finsh but shutdown in the middle of the flash.

Right now all i get is the "M" symbol when the device is pluged into an outlet

and just the LED when connected to USB (computer)

it will not boot into CWM or Bootloader (was trying any button combo that i could think of( besides the ones that everybody knows))

So right now it is some kind of brick just dont what yet or how to fix it... any help would be appreciated
[Droid X General] xsurferx:
I have sbf'd my phone many times and that usually has fixed anything that ive done, never had an issue with not being able to boot into bootloader though, i do not know if its possible for RSD lite to recognize your phone without it being on or in boot loader, but if the battery is dead that would explain why you cant boot into bootloader. So find a way to find out if the battery is dead either by borrowing some one elses phone and switching batteries or just assume it isnt and charge the battery with another phone or by butchering a power cable and attaching the leads to the battery. Then see if you can boot it into the bootloader and connect it to RSD lite and sbf the phone. There are stickies in the forums on how to sbf if needed. Hope i was some sort of help

- DooMLord -> his recovery sources on github, and his guidance on assisting me with setting up the build environment and for his kernel.sin unpacker.

- Sony Ericsson -> the kernel with this.

I wanted the stock kernel because of battery drain issues present in many custom kernels, mine included, because although I used the semc sources to compile my kernel, it still had worse battery drain than stock.

I have unpacked the zImage from the kernel.sin in the 4.0.2.A.0.42 and then made that and a modified ramdisk into a boot.img, which you can flash.

This is for people who want to stay with the stock kernel, but want clockworkmod recovery.

Kernel string version:

2.6.32.9-perf

MD5: 1ad7e6db6258b73555f0e6ae73fe4fd6

To flash, use the command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If you are on linux:

./fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img

Don't forget to say thanks if you use this!
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
Yo installed it the custom recovery works fine and now testing UPDATE-looks like its not starting up for me ill try a reflash UPDATE-its not working properly the system wont start man
[Xperia Play Android Development] matknny:
Super interested in this since I went back to Stock rom moments ago so I can play FIFA 12. Will this work with the new HK 4.0.2.A.0.58 rom released as I have just put that on.
[Xperia Play Android Development] faisaldante:
wait now dat i think about it i have the same firmware as urs it doesnt work on it weird
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Yes, .42 and .58 use the same kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] alreadyused:
Will this provide root? I only install Doom's for root & recovery, so if this does I'll use this instead. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
No root, but you can flash RootXperia.zip in clockworkmod (search it on google: rootxperia.zip).
[Xperia Play Android Development] matknny:
Done but having booted after installing and rebooted into recovery (which worked) then restarted to phone it wont boot. Black screen after Sony Logo.

Update: Boots after 15 minutes no battery but now android market is keep coming up unsuccessful

Update 2: It just will not boot so I had no choice but to flashtool 4.0.2.a.0.58 back to default. :-(
[Xperia Play Android Development] KeiranFTW:
Actually had market problems myself too, it is very wierd :/
[Xperia Play Android Development] unrandomsam:
Doesn't work at all for me - fastbooted it left it for a bit

came back and got the red blinking light.

What is the trick to get a stock kernel.sin to a working boot.img ? (Spent most of this afternoon failing to get it to work). All I really want is ro.secure=0 (or ro.debuggable=1). fastbooting CWM is ok for me.
[Xperia Play Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Small how-to for creating insecure kernel

1) Unpack kernel.sin to get zImage and ramdisk (tools posted in my other thread)

2) unpack ramdisk

3) edit default.prop and set ro.secure=0 & ro.debuggable=1 then save file

4) repack ramdisk (cpio.gz)

5) repack into boot.img, using zimage + new packed ramdisk, using correct mkbootimg arguments

6) flash using fastboot

7) enjoy :P

PRO TIP:

Use ONLY LINUX FOR ALL OF THIS ELSE DEVICE WONT BOOT
[Xperia Play Android Development] unrandomsam:
Thats pretty much exactly what I did. (I did the initial split under windows though I will try again.)

I used the mkbootimg arguments from SE's building kernel blogpost.

Hey Doom, I'm trying to follow this, and I'm getting stuck

I downloaded the R800x 2.3.3 (3.0.1.E.0.88) TFT from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19438024&postcount=12

I unzipped it using xarchiver (installed on arch linux/available on sourceforge)

I ran unpack-kernelsin.pl, and I get two errors (that don't exit out of the perl script):

1) ramdisk written... gzip: no such file or directory

2) cpio: premature end of image

When I try to cpio-ing the ram disk, my computer just sits... How long should I wait, I have a netbook (i know, not the best for doing compiling) and the longest i've let it sit is about 10 minutes (i'm about to let it sit overnight to see if it'll work itself out)

If you could give me any pointers, that'd be outstanding :P

Thank you,

My keyboard sometimes lags bad. it also does auto correction and mistypes a lot when lagging. Anybody else and solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
The only time my keyboard lags is if I'm using Google Voice and while I'm typing a new GV text comes in, other than that I haven't had an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ukxoomer:
My keyboard lags terribly, especially in landscape on gmail where its just about unuseable.

I'm having a lot of difficulty "getting" this phone. £500, buggy, laggy with absolutely awful battery life and ring/message alert volumes so low you have to have the unit next tobyou not to miss calls etc. I'm a big fan of google and android but after a week of ownership this phone is an epic fail. The stock browser is a joke (useless text formatting, no permanent desktop string). All in all a terrible handset by modern standards!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
Does it only happen when you type much text or do you have many custom words in your dictionary?

Then it might be this issue:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22432
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ukxoomer:
Yep, the above link describes what I'm getting regards keyboard lag perfectly.

I don't have any custom words in my dictionary, but as I type emails the text input bogs down in the exact way outlined.

Doesn't solve the bad stock browser etc and above all pointless battery life. If I'm away with work and forget the charger this thing is dead within 20hrs even if its not used!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
I'm still waiting for my Nexus here in Germany, but since it works in the Virtual Machine it should work on the Nexus too.

1) open the browser

2) type about:debug in the address bar and load it

3) open the browser settings and click on the new unlocked "debug" section

4) click on "UAString" and choose "desktop"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I've had excellent battery life so far and I haven't broke in my battery yet. I have data sync on too. And android browser is a big improvement from gingerbread. Keyboard lag is my only major issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ukxoomer:
Sadly about:debug no longer works in the new stock ICS browser.

It's not a good browser, but it is very fast. Just get used to always using mobile site pages or endlessly pressing Menu, and ticking the request destop site button.

Honestly not good enough for the 'premium android device.'

[Xperia Arc General] Xajel:
After going several rounds with testing and trying, and even using Task Managers, I think I can say for sure the main reason to blame is SE Home !!... just try to use other launcher like Go Launcher for a while and you will see the overall speed of the phone without going for V6 ( I didn't even tried to install it )... I'm not talking about performance here, but SE home launcher in a lot of times becomes sluggish and slow specially when it tries to reload the icons !!

other reasons includes junk apps and other unused apps that any OEM will force the user to have them, even if he doesn't want to !! these will be just waste of space and resources...

my home screen never been laggish with V6 is super smooth :)

[Motorola Triumph] Whyzor:
Who are the developers and where is the thread that discusses this? Or are you referring to Isaac & Tickerguy (who sold his Triumph) over at AndroidForums? It'd be more helpful to point the project so other new people (lurking) could contribute to help, rather than have a bunch of people duplicating the same effort, it may go faster if everyone collaborates.
[Motorola Triumph] Neptik:
I read that cm9 for MT would be ics 4.0 based :) can't wait!

I thought both those guys are off the triumph. I'd like to know who's doing further dev work off 4.0, too.
[Motorola Triumph] Whyzor:
TickerGuy sold his MT, Isaac is still updating the repo for other new builders (his MT won't charge, but may be getting a replacement), he mentioned that he wants to wind down development for the MT.

Does the bluetooth 3.0 really work on"[ROM][29 NOV 11][Endymion V3.0|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][Endymion kernel V2.0|ThemeManager]"?

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Bluetooth works perfectly on this ROM - I use it every day with my hands-free car kit.

As for Bluetooth v3.0 - I don't believe that the Desire S supports this. This protocol only uses the Bluetooth link for negotiation, then runs the actual data (up to 24Mbps) over an 802.11 wireless link.

[Milestone 2 General] mkyybx:
Thank you for opening this page.

My A953 is a Europe device, and the version i use is MIUI-X1.12.2X (kenerl version is 2.6.32.9).

The problem is that the touch screen isn't accurate, when i touch position A , the device thinks i touched B, which is over A(upper half screen) or uner A(under half sereen). But the distance between A and B is very short , i can only notice it when i search the contects by touching the first-letter.

And there is a place on the lower right screen, which can't responce any touching.

This two problems also worked on CM7 nightly version which i used. But i can fix them by disable the mulititouch(doesn't work on miui..).

Would someone please help me ? Thanks a lot !(I'm sorry for my terrible English...)
[Milestone 2 General] pponto:
All the defy based roms has a bad multitouch compare to cm7 "original" for milestone2 (tezet rom).
[Milestone 2 General] mkyybx:
Thank you . I have flashed UK 2.3.4 and will "never" be able to use MIUI.
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
The kernel for the official gingerbread release still has the multitouch bug, are you experiencing this issue still?
[Milestone 2 General] mkyybx:
Yes , because this issue is realated to the kernel, A2S is only a nandroid backup package.

With I experienced, if you put two finger on the screen with a short distance , MS2 will recognize them as one touch point(I notice this issue when i play Cut The Rope). But If you use froyo , you may not have this probelm
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Yeah I know. Sucks to be you - I hope to never update to keep my options open. CH GB kernel all the way:cool:

My main touch problems were with FPS games, it'd switch between what touch point it thought was point "a" and point "b", so I'd end up getting stuck running against a wall until I'd pause and resume.

Hopefully when my phone is back from warranty repairs it'll still be on Froyo. They said it would be updated to the latest firmware, so for once being in the last thought of nation Australia will possibly pay off (we haven't gotten an update yet).
[Milestone 2 General] rasecrmz:
So, the only way to avoid touch bug is install the chiness gb sbf? I have tried almost all roms (endless cm7, tezet cm7, a2s, walter79 mod, miui) and all of them have touch bug.

My brother has a brand new razr, and it actually has the same touch bug (the same bug i experience with tezet cm, when playing games with two virtual sticks, after a minute or so touching the screen it goes a little funky, need to release the fingers or pause the game or turn off and on the screen.

Actually is a bit different than the old froyo touch bug, but a bug still.
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I'm pretty sure that the actual games themself have some coding issues and mess up on there own accord from time to time with touch screen input, but the multitouch bug certainly makes a mild problem much worse. (basing this on reviews you see ferom people with other devices saying stuff like "touch controls are glitchy" etc etc, alo I've experienced the occasional glitch on shadowgun playing on my Sony Tablet S)

If you have updated to official gingerbread, you are stuck on a non-downgradable kernel that has the multitouch bug.

If you are still on froyo the current roms using the CH GB kernel (the one that doesn't have multitouch bug) are CM9, CM7 defy port from endless7, Argen2Stone. (ms2ginger and blurless too possibly)

MIUI and CM7 use froyo kernels and have the bug.
[Milestone 2 General] marcoahs:
It's possible to Switch the UK Kernel to CH Kernel?

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

The brazilian 2.3.6 kernel don't have this bug. If you upgraded for the GB Official, you can try the 2.3.6 brazilian...
[Milestone 2 General] mkyybx:
No， certenly not. Because UK GB kernel is based on NEW BOOTLOADER , if you flash old chinese gb kernel or old froyo kernel ,you will get a black screen so you must flash the kernel that based on new BL.

The new chinese kernel is based on the new BL,too.(4.5.1-5)(I can't remember it clearly, it seems like this)

But the brazil 2.3.6 is based on the NEWER BL than UK or chinese new gb kernel. so never flash it.

Now the cm7 , cm9 , argen2stone , mokee os works on the new gb kernel well.
[Milestone 2 General] marcoahs:
Yes, i know this, but i have flashed the 2.3.6 brazilian sbf. After this, i have flashed the Uk 2.3.4 and works... Why? If the brazilian BL is newer than UK BL? Why i don't have the black screen?
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I thought anyone could flash the newer boot loader? It came out before the official update. It's just the kernel can't be changed once your on the UK GB kernel. Or at least that's as far as I'm aware.

For example, I could update my boot loader but still use the UK froyo kernel no worries, is what I mean.

Pretty swish at that brazilian kernel though, I've never looked into it since I never updated. So would he just be able to flash the BR kernel and see how that goes right?

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

This is basically what I meant.. it's not the boot loader, it's the kernels. And since it's once of the kernels from official gingerbread, it's all sweet :D
