I would have gotten to this quicker if someone had actually sent me a message. :) I only heard about this yesterday through some random discussion.

I looked into this and figured out what was going on. It took some digging because the MD5 checksums for all the relevant files matched exactly so it wasn't anything obvious.

Contrary to what was suggested in the posts I read, it actually isn't anything I'm doing in my package causing the issue. Ironically it is because my package is behaving *closer* to stock that the AIO isn't working with it.

The AIO actually does NOT work with the stock untouched ROM, flashed with ODIN direct from Samsung's leaked tar file. I discovered this because my first step was to flash the untouched leaked Samsung ROM (just the ROM) then apply the AIO. That basically results in lots of FCs.

The reason for the FCs is because the AIO is signed with a generic cert (while the rest of the system is signed by a Samsung cert) and if things aren't done in a very specific way, it'll result in signature failures which then deny permission to some basic functions needed by the system. That causes a cascade of failures and an unusable system that keeps trying to restart.

So the reason it was working with Calkulin's EL29 update.zip wasn't because the files are different or anything "special" being done. The relevant files are actually exactly the same as can be seen by a MD5 checksum comparison.

The reason it worked is because the AIO (the odexed one, when used with an otherwise stock system signed by Samsung), either by design or by accident, depends on some caching of signature checks, based on file timestamps, to work. If the file timestamps are done in a certain way, it works. If the timestamps are the "stock" ones, as provided by the EL29 ODIN tar leak from samfirmware, it doesn't work.

Since my stuff is as close as possible to the EL29 leak with just root added, it has the same behavior as the stock Samsung EL29 leak, namely it doesn't work with the AIO mod.

Using this knowledge I was able to get the AIO working with stock leaked EL29 (and consequently my ODIN One-Clicks). To get it working, every app and framework file that the AIO package *modifies* needs to first have its timestamp reset prior to flashing the AIO.

I created an update.zip to do this for you.

So the process basically goes like this:

1) flash pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click

AND

install CWM

2) boot into CWM

3) flash the EL29 AIO Pre-Flash [update-el29-AIO-preflash.zip]

AND

boot into Android

4) boot into CWM

5) flash the EL29 AIO update.zip

AND

boot into Android

There, done, EL29 AIO works.

Excellent work sfhub!!!! Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Super job! I'm sorry I didn't communicate to you about the difficulties with the AIO mod that several of us were having. I guess I just thought you knew. Since all of your programs worked so well for me I figured it was a problem with the other package, and installing Calk's ROM was the only way I found to work around it.

I greatly appreciate all the work you've done for us. Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
For some reason, this thread makes me feel especially noobish. ;-) (coming from HTCs, still grasping kern/modem/rom differences..)

Can anyone, with the following pic and sig info, tell me which version I should be flashing?

Sent from my calculator watch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nickf914:
Ek02 odexed...unless you are on a custom ROM, then maybe deodexed.

Sfhub...thanks for the newly posted el29 mod...youre the man
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
thanks, wasn't sure if the choice had to do with the kernel or ROM...

also doesn't appear to be an odexed version for ek02...

well, i've maybe been running stock long enough. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Just to be clear, I didn't post a new EL29 AIO mod. I posted a "preflash" to set up the timestamps. You still flash the current EL29 AIO mod afterwards.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I'm glad I decided to give this a second try today and see you came up with a fix. I tried doing this yesterday or the day b4 and everything just crashed lol. So i'm already on your one click el29 rooted. So I will just have to go into cwm flash your update and then flash this next and i'm good right?

Edit: I just wanted to make sure nothing was changed on the EL29 oneclick before flashing. But I was as lil too curious and did it anyways. All is working fine. Just wish I could get a 4G toggle the data one only controls 3G... Thank you for your work sfhub. Just yesterday I rooted a friends LG Optimus and saw that you were the one with the root. I was like guess he's all over the place lol. Thank you!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Glad you got it working.

Nothing at all was changed in the EL29 One-Click. The thing that changes when you install the EL29 "pre-flash" is the timestamps on the files the AIO will subsequently be changing.

Interesting story about the Optimus is I created the Auto Root first for the Optimus and then after a couple of weeks ported it over to E4GT.

Can someone upload this file: dev-host.org/42wusjh4stgt/EL29ModifiedCamera-Odexed.zip

Its for Odexed EL29 camera mod. The link is down.

So when i the device or unlock it, screen is upside down for just a second, is that normal? Sometimes it gets stuck, very rarely though.

wifi tether

Does the wifi tether feature in this AIO mean I can use the sprint hotpot free of charges? Or does it refer to use of wifi tether being enabled? thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 0Gravity:
Boot Loop

Hi All,

I am a total noob to this Android phone...had a TP2 until about a month ago....I Rooted the phone shortly after getting it so that I could Use free wifi tether, and the a couple days ago I installed the EL29 update so I could get rid of the upgrade nag... and that is all that has been done to it...So I seen this AIO and thought it had some features I would like, I did some reading in the Wiki and came to the conclusion that I would need the EL29 Odexed version so I downloaded it, transfered it to my SD card, charged my bat to 100% went into CWM, wiped Cache and Dilvik Cache, then update from sd card, pointed it to the file and let it do its thing....all seemed to go fine, but when I rebooted the phone it gets to the lock screen, says "No Signal" in the top right corner sits there for a min then just reboots! My first attempt at installing a Mod = Not So Good:confused:

Any Ideas where I went wrong and what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks in Advance!

Mike

I was able to restore my phone using Nandroid and Titanium....But I would still like to install this Mod if anyone can point me in the right direction as to what I might have done wrong....Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
Ok...Just got this phone last night when my Evo broke. Did the OTA update to EL29. Then today I used Odin to flash the EL29 stock rooted modem/kernel/ROM. Then I used "option C" in the autoroot program to install CWM-Rogue. All well and good so far.

I downloaded and installed the EL29 preflash zip and the EL29 odex AIO zip. Booted to CWM, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the preflash zip, rebooted the phone. Booted back into CWM, flashed the AIO zip and rebooted.

Now I have the nice screen rotation animation and the quickpanel settings app but even after I change the apps/toggles to show up in the notification panel, I still only see the stock toggles.

Also, isn't this supposed to fix the lack of scrolling wallpaper in EL29 or is that only if you are running Calkulin's ROM?

Sorry if I missed something. I've done as much as I can to read up on the new phone but I have a little while to go before I feel like I know what's up like I did on my Evo.

edit: I don't have the power options when I hold the power button either. Weird. I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You probably need to use the el29 preflash a page or two back.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

I tested the preflash with the el29 odin one-click and the extended notification panel and power options were there. It is possible the timestamps for an ota would need to be further adjusted. I suggest you try the odin one-click sequence listed with the pre-flash or flash calkulin's rooted el29 update.zip
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
Yeah, that is basically what I did except my recovery got screwed up earlier and I had to reinstall it first. Guess I'll just start over from scratch and see how it goes this time. I don't mind messing with things at the moment because I haven't had time to really get attached to a given layout :D Thanks for the tips and the files!

edit:

So, I wiped the phone and did everything over from scratch. Still the same issue. If the download of the AIO zip was bad would it still flash with no errors? I'm trying to figure out why only some of it works (screen rotation animation, CRT off animation) but not other parts. I also flashed Calkulin's el29 ROM but kinda prefer stock at the moment so I restored my rooted stock nandroid. This is more of an annoyance than anything. I don't like leaving mysteries unsolved and I want to get acquainted with modding my new phone.

Stock rooted el29 should use the EL29 Odexed, correct?

edit #2: Just re-downloaded the preflash and AIO for EL29 Odexed. Booted to CWM, flashed preflash, rebooted, flashed AIO, rebooted. Same thing. I have the quick panel settings app but the notification toggles remail stock and do not scroll. Do I need to enable something else or flash something else first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 0Gravity:
That fixed the problem, and I was able to get it installed...Thanks! You might want to see if they can place that "Preflash & Instructions" on the first thread, so others don't have the same headache that I did.

One of the main reasons I wanted this was for the Sprint HotSpot Mod...Is there a trick to getting this feature working? Whenever I start the server it says "Starting" then "Error". Also as I have read here somewhere (I will have to search this thread) I am also having the occasional Upsidedown/insideout screen, and the only way to fix it is to pull the Battery.

Thanks again,

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galt:
Let me know if you get this figured out. I'm on the exact same upgrade path as you (even down to the recently broken EVO!) and want to install this mod. I haven't tried it yet, but if you are able to make it work then I'll give it a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
Yeah I have kinda given up. I tried wiping all from scratch, using the full rooted stock ODIN without preserving data and followed all the steps but I still only get some of the features. I re-downloaded everything to make sure there were no bad downloads. I tried it with wiping dalvik/cache with every step. I tried without wiping dalvik/cache. I tried from internal memory, from the SD card, etc. Never works for me. I get screen rotation and quick panel settings app but no scrolling wallpaper, no scrolling widgets, and no reboot options.

I just tried the stock rooted zip version from a full wipe but that doesn't seem to work either (hangs on boot after flashing the preflash zip).

It's all just cosmetic for the most part so it's not killing me that I don't have it. It's just driving me nuts wondering if either a) I'm a moron and missing something obvious or b) there is something wrong with my phone and I should swap it out before my 14 days are up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] galt:
FYI, I wanted to let you know that I finally gave it a shot and it seems to have worked perfectly (I see custom toggles, etc). I wiped dalvik/cache each time before flashing anything, then flashed the EL29 preflash, rebooted, wiped again, then the flashed the Odexed AIO for EL29, rebooted, wiped again, then flashed the camera mod. It doesn't look like I did anything you didn't, but figured I'd let you know that it does seem like it should work given our particular upgrade path.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Since there was a post about having issues with with getting this working, I went back and re-tested the EL29 AIO (using the pre-flash to reset the timestamps). It worked fine. I tested the extended notification controls, extended power button options, hotspot mod, and CRT animation. I followed exactly the instructions listed in the earlier post above.

I also tested flashing the EK02 ODIN One-Click, rooting and installing CWM using the Auto Root package, then installing the rooted+CWM EL29 OTA update. Then used the EL29 pre-flash and then EL29 AIO as above. Again verified extended notifcation controls, extended power button options, hotspot mod, and CRT animation. Everything worked fine.

I didn't clear dalvik or cache after each iteration because it is unnecessary. The update.zip for the pre-flash and the AIO install already do this.

Regarding scrolling wallpaper, that is a generic EL29 issue that you can find solutions for in a different thread.

Regarding the flipped screen for CRT animation, that is an issue with the CRT animation itself. Nothing to do with how you flash it.

I don't have the time to test every single combination of Full and NoData ODIN One-Clicks nor do I have time to test every combination of CWM (CWM, CWM-ACS, CWM-Rogue). I used the NoData ODIN One-Click and CWM-Rogue to do my flashing (except for the rooted+CWM EL29 OTA, which I used CWM)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neodorian:
Thanks for taking the time to test again. I will let you know if I ever figure this out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
Does anyone know how the stop the screen from rotating so rapidly. I have a problem where the phone inverts bottom to top on the lockscreen. It makes it really hard to unlock, epecially when I have messages or a missed call. I am running stock, rooted, deodexed EL29 rom. I installed the AIO combo for EL29 deodexed. Did not have this issue prior to installed the AIO. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wherestheanykey:
Yeah I had that problem when I had this on EL13. About one out of 15 times I woke up my phone, the lock screen would stay upsidedown, and I would have to slide it the opposite way, and then the home screen would also be upsidedown. I then would have to lauch an app like browser, rotate the phone landscape, wait for the screen to rotate, and then rotate the phone back up right. This became very annoying, and since I updated to EL29, I have not reinstalled it. One of the main reasons for using it was to remove CIQ, and now that is already done in EL29. I would like to flash a couple of the mods individually, and I see that they are all complied from different sources. How would I get just the native HotSpot hack, and the beefed up reboot menu? And are these mods based on software version, kernel, or radio? I am on stock rooted EL29, EL29 + CWM kernel and EG31 baseband.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
Glad to see I am not the only one with that problem. I also want to install individually as well. Maybe someone will post them. I hope they do.

I say once the leaks slow down and they get closer to a final build. Then we will see this mod made available. This is pure speculation but just seems to be the way things are being done lately. Can't blame em really cause damn it would be a ***** to keep it updated with the 20 or so leaks we've had over the past few months.

When your in cwm and you choose install zip from SD card there is an option to toggle signature and something else. Make sure both of those say disabled and try flashing again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I'll probably get flamed for this....is the mod compatible with Calk's 2.0.1a? Never used it before.... Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
this one is based off of EL13 and I believe 2.01a is based off of EK02 but although it may work you will lose some of Calks tweaks... I did try it before but I had to exchange a couple of files to get it to work properly. I would look for his EK02 Mod and check in there to see the success rate of others.... Just remember you may lose some of Calks mods

Ummmmmmm.... Maybe i'm missing something here, but I installed your mod, and now I have no toggle for 4G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You didn't miss anything. The toggle mod doesn't have 4G yet. It is being worked on. But you can long press on wifi or Mobile Data to get to the menu to enable it. Or just download a widget for it.

LOL not yet. It is being worked on but is being improved on and still has work to be done. Probably not until after Xmas.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but do I have to do a full wipe if im coming from the eg30 version and does this have the new updates that fix the LOS issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You have to install a EL13 rom to use this. LOS is more of a modem/kernel issue. And, in my experience, EL13 has been the best so far. But it appears that ymmv so give it a shot. You can always go back if you have issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
I'm a little new to this E4GT however I can't figure out why only some of the features in this MOD are working for me.

I used that full wipe zip thats been floating around so the phone was completely empty.

Installed Caulkins Stock Rooted EL13 De-Odexed. Rebooted and went back into recovery and flashed the De-Odexed version of this mod.

I'm only noticing things like the CRT and rotation animations working. The status bar toggles are still the stock ones w/ 4G, etc. Its not scrollable. I've wiped cache/dalvik before installing any zip.

What did I miss?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Not really sure. Try downloading and flashing again. I am using the same rom and it worked with no issue. I just downloaded the zip and reinstalled the rom and flashed the zip again to make sure the file was good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
I am a little confused. I am running the eg30 stock deodexed. Is the EL13 the same thing just a newer version? What i'm trying to get is can I install the EL13 over the eg30 and not have to wipe the entire phone. I want to get the new update that samsung released to fix this LOS issue and get rid of the update that it keeps asking me so install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yes EL13 is a newer version, 2.3.6 vs 2.3.4. It also removes ciq naively. Yes you can upgrade without wiping data. If you have custom recovery look for calkulins stock rooted EL13 and flash that. If you don't have recovery odin rogue stock EL13 kernel first. Then flash Calk's rom. I would also flash the EL13 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wings9130:
I tried updating calkulins stock rooted el13 over this but it doesn't work. The phone gets stuck on the main samsung galaxy sii with the orange triangle screen. Do I have to wipe the whole phone to put this rom on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You shouldn't have to. I didn't. But try downloading again to make sure you have a good copy and wipe cache and dalvik 3 times before flashing his rom. I have never seen the orange triangle before. What does it say?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Uninstallers added.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abodamer:
Help, please. I successfully installed sfhub's EL13 Rom/Modem/Kernal with root & then installed CWM. Then I installed this AIO mod (Odexed) and I have boot loops. Had to pull battery, still looping. Would appreciate any help/guidance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I haven't tested on that version. Install calk's version and flash the aio and see if that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abodamer:
Sorry, even tho I'm old, I'm still a noob. I flashed sfhub's because it allowed my to keep my data partition. Won't calk's cause me to have to reinstall everything (apps/settings)? Or is there a way around this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
No his doesn't wipe data. I use it for testing. I think the only change I made was to drop the rogue kernel in it.
