I didnt wipe cachr or dalvik. Weird
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
How long does it take? I let it sit a couple of minutes and finally pulled the battery.

In 2 minutes the status bar never moved.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
My status bar never moved and it took roughly 3 to 4 minutes.

I flashed the modem from EG30 to EL13
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Ima gonna wait for the tweaked version of his majesty Sir. Calkulin.

Bada Bing Bada Boom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
So can we go from EK02 to EL13 with the modem zip? At school right now jacked a friends cable and grabbing it now (as well as full rom) but Would like to know before hand if anyone has done it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g4me0v3r:
Was running EK02 modem, flashed EL13 via CWM. Wiped cache and dalvik, worked just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
sweet thanks man :) will give this a go in a few mins
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Will the modem EL13 flash over EG31? Is it a full modem or patch for EK02? Thanks

Bada Bing Bada Boom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
im guessing a full modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
Did a NAND before flashing....the zip went through correctly then I did an advance restore data only got all my data back before the flash no force closes on any apps....came from Starburst 1.95
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I flashed over EK02 no problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
cache/dalvik wipe and flashed over EK02 perfect. Do the rom once I get home to mess with it or I might just wait till we get a modded rom instead of stock based on EL13. So far so good though on the modem end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ffkip911:
+1, no issues flashing modem

@cidica, i'm not seeing "much" 3g improvement in Seattle (Renton) but my wifi speeds are improved over my EK02 modem (by at least 1/3 faster wifi dl/ul)

I am in the house on airave, so I'm not on tower now---are you seeing any reception improvements?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
what is the android verison in the EL13 ROM? Can someone post the ID numbers after the flash? Build Number, Kernal Number and Radio Number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Yeah I'm in Tukwila right now at school and not noticing much on 3G here it's pretty much about the same. I'll mess with WiFi once I get home later today. In Renton as well lol

As for Reception I'm really not noticing anything different right now I'll know more on the way home as I know of a few weird areas here that my signal drops low at times. I'll look at it while were driving by and see if it's any better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
2.3.6

Bada Bing Bada Boom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rpnunez:
I'm on stock EG30, I'm aware need to root and get CWM first.

Should I Odin flash EK02 first? Or should I just wait and Odin flash a repack of EL13?

In other words, can I go from EG30 to EL13? Or do I need to go to first from EG30 to EK02 then I can flash this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gzowner:
Sprint has released an update for the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch Android smartphone. It’s not an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, which is still expected early next year, but the EK02 software update fixes an annoying bug that caused many users to experience a loss of signal (well-known among GS2 forums as LOS). The update will begin rolling out in waves today and should be completed over the next ten days. Check out the short list below for exact change log details.

Enhancements/Fixes:

- 4G Sprint Hotspot disconnects when in a phone call

- Radio loses signal and may require power cycle
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
EK02 has NOTHING to do with EL13 they are 2 different updates. Also most of the people here already know about this information no real reason to post this again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikel719:
That was for the ek02 update.

Sent from my epic touch B=====D {()} (o)(o)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I just went from EK02 to EL13 without issue (modem only) I do belive in another thread here there is a full Odin rom for EL13 so it should be no issue in flashing that and rooting it after. You could however just flash a Stock EK02 (with root) then flash this rom from the OP and most likely also have no issue.

I am at school however so someone correctly me if I am wrong as right now I really have no way of testing it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
What's different between this ROM and the EK02 ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
Wifi signal definitely improved by quite a bit from eko2 to el13
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ogeretla:
Anything else? Can u post you build numbers from your about phone screen??

Sent from my Epic 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I do have to wonder however why this is not updated to 2.3.7 since it's been out for so long now. Not that I mind it's just weird and I find it odd that it was not done yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Odd stuff pretty scary after the EG31 fiasco.

I'm not touching it until confirmed not to have downside like flash conflict
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
this is true but with us now having the stock EG30 modem it makes things easier incase something goes wrong and we do need to be on the updated EK02 for the next update. I had the same thought when I saw this when I got to class this morning. But having the EG30 modem it's a simple fix to flash back update to EK02 and were golden.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
you can flash el12 modem, you can always odin back to eg30 now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Dunno why you'd worry now that you can get back to EG30.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Well the most notable difference is that CIQ appears to have been completely removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Best way to flash coming from EK02? I don't want to lose anything, and I want to keep CWM 5.0.2.7, not sure if that is included in this tar.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Basically I want to keep my CWM install intact, not screw with my external SD, and flash the ROM, coming from this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367971
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Very good points but why why why Samsung ,I get my setup tight and another update surfaces.

hmm I will hold tight for Steady Hawkin to work his magic on kernel and go ahead flash modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srgwidowmaker:
Here u go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Just had an LoS after flashing this. I was was connected to wifi and left the wifi range w/o DC'ing first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
testing what out?

for others i went from EG31 to EL13 modem with no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
Has K0nane looked at this yet?

Every piece of information from "official" sources (carriers/manufacturers/carrieriq) has pretty much been lies from the beginning...why should I be inclined to believe they didn't just go to "end-of-the-earth" efforts with this just to hide it better?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Are you seeing any significant improvement with the modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gzowner:
Yep same issue. I just turn off my wifi and signal came back full bars. Turn wife back on and signal drops to almost nothing. Leave the wifi area and lose signal completely and i am outside. Turn wifi off and signal come back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
cause sammy removed it not sprint, just my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
That isn't the issue I described but similar. My service didn't come back until a reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
yes sir and as you know i had issues with EK02, CHECK YOUR PM PLEASE><
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Do I just flash this zip in CWM? Nothing fancy needs to be done after making a backup and wiping? Still new to this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gzowner:
other than wifi issues with it, my end i get better signal in a area i know i would lose it. So it is better but not fully. Just think it is all base on a few bugs and possible tweaking the modem to stop dropping it. I cant find a changelog for some reason.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

yes. I downloaed all 3 and install it via the recovery. No issues. If you have any other rom, just do a wipe to be safe. I never install a rom with out wiping to prevent issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Backup apps with MyBackup root and then restore them after the flash? This zip doesn't touch the external SD card or the recovery installation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gzowner:
That is what i had to do befor i started to troubleshoot it futher thinking i am just having tower issues today. But leaving my wifi turned off and let it use 3g, signal is strong as it can be. Soon as i turn it on, it loses it.

---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

yes sir, or use titanium backup.. no issues..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
So my thoughts on EL13 just for a so far. Hit LOS a few times with it where with EK02 I did not. Now that could just be that I'm on the EK02 kernel with the EL13 modem (which I've seen that happen before going from EG31 to EK02 kernel)

I do notice that Wi-Fi is a bit better here at the house but like a few people have said I notice the bars for phone in general going down when on it and once I turn off Wi-Fi they go back up far more then what they were with Wi-Fi on.

I think I'll play with it for a little more and see how things go if it stays like this just go back to EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Any issues backing up apps+data? Anything force closing upon restore? I want my LauncherPro setup to remain intact, I also want to keep Market links...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i used titanium and restored "MISSING apps/data"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Cool. So why would I have force closes for various apps when restoring with data on other ROM's?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
dont really know that answer and most my apps a cracks. lol

got a example of what apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Offhand I can remember Lookout crashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
im testing some stuff now and will dl lookout and see how it goes. i actually worked for them as alpha tester and forgot about that app. i assume you went from EK02 to this leak?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
My guess is Sprint sent each manufacturer a list a phones that they want CIQ removed from as soon as possible, so they can make a public statement that CIQ is being removed from many Sprint devices until they can look into possible holes further and work on better disclosure and/or an opt-out policy. Imagine how this looks right now in the carrier wars ... Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile have CIQ devices, Verizon does not. This does not help their attempts to keep customers from going to Big Red, who already has a huge lead in the data network department.

It's also possible that Samsung is taking the initiative I guess, but I highly doubt this. The carriers told the manufactures to install it, and now they're backpedaling as fast as their little legs can go and telling them to take it out. Torches and pitchforks are out in full force and Sprint knows it. If I'm right, I expect AT&T and T-Mobile to follow suit, if they're not doing so already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
my reasoning is if i was about to upgrade and between evo3d/sammy ect i would want phone that had it removed by manufacturer so i think sammy did do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
FYI verizon uses a different method to watch over you then CIQ, they all have blood on their hands
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
IMO the competitive concerns are a secondary concern and the multiple class-actions are the primary concern.

If they knowingly left in violations of Wiretap Act after they were informed, then the court could award treble damages for willful misconduct. They cannot claim they were unaware after all the media attention. Right now, they can claim they were unaware until they were informed and then proceeded to remove it.

Whether in fact they would lose a class action wouldn't be the issue, they may or may not. The issue is how much exposure they have, IF they were to lose.

At least that's how a lawyer defending Sprint could be thinking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
That's lawyers being lawyers though. I do hope this brings privacy and our ownership of most of it back to the forefront. The one thing I will say in there defense is this state of technology to the majority and via phones and mobile devices is unprecedented and a slippery slope between safety and control/power/money.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Going to try and flash this via CWM in an hour or so. I will report back after.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
For the people with the LoS/signal issues, I see at least one person is having the problems on the EK02 modem, can anyone comment on which modems they have and whether they are or are not having the same problem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I had LoS even with EK02 just not as much as while on EG30 or EG31. Right now with EL13 at the house no airave I'm ok hit LoS in a few places though that I didn't when I was on EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
Install the app from the market or via APK, then go into titanium backup and restore DATA ONLY. I had the same problem on a few apps after upgrading to EK02.

And Launcher Pro does not keep widgets in tact, but it keeps everything else in tact (it also has a separate backup you can do within the settings)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Can anyone who has flashed the EL13 ROM, and also has a USB jig, test to see if your jig still boots into download mode and resets your Odin counter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
People are jumping on this like they did the EG31! I appreciate all you crazies out there!!! LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Crazies? It's the latest and greatest, and Samsung official.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Well it is the latest and it is signed by Samsung, so it came from them, but whether it is the "greatest" or it will end up being an "official" release is yet to be determined.

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Well no CIQ...

I've only seen it reported from one person so far, here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20273027&postcount=57, in case you want to take the initiative on a PM. I just picked it up and started to dig around to see if there's any teeth to it or if it was simply coincidence. I can't test it myself as my jig is at home and ... ummmm ... I'm working. LOL .. as I type this on a smartphone enthusiast forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:

Great job Samsung and everyone who got us this leaked rom. I just installed the radio and going to test out signal strength, data speed and anything else I can mess with
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tridogg97:
I can confirm jig doent work on this build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
This whole CIQ thing is just a joke. Let's look at it from another angle...

If I wanted to track my 14 yo's computer use I could install something to track usage on her laptop. I could capture every keystroke and every bit sent over the network.

I can also forego any software on her computer and trace all IO through my router running DD-WRT. (I can also throttle her bandwidth so that I get higher priority for watching Netflix). Her only way around this is to connect to a different router which is easy enough.

Now, let's take any carrier where our phones connect against the carrier's network *most* of the time. The carrier can easily see every txt sent/received, every picture msg, every webpage, etc. So, whether the tracking software is on your phone (client level) or done at the server level, you're basically screwed. Removing CIQ just means they have one less tool to capture our data usage.

I work at a company where we have a device call "RUEI" installed. It monitors certain networks and captures packets flowing back and forth and processes them into streams so that we can see what users are doing on certain web applications. I can see pretty much see every page GET/POST that happens for a monitored domain. CIQ is really just one slice of the total pie companies use to collect statistics about our usage.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
anyone possibly have a mirror? tia
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
Well that doesn't help me sleep better at night...

CIQ obviously must take up some resources (data/battery/memory). Therefore, NOT having it must provide some kind of benefit...

So from what I've read so far, this EL13 and EK02 are pretty much identical aside from the CIQ? I guess I'll just wait for a nice custom EL13 build since the EK02 build I have has CIQ disabled already...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Did you flash this package from Calk in CWM or did you Odin a TAR from the other thread? I'm fairly sure the only way do disable the jig is by changing the bootloader, so the question is, which flash modified the bootloader?

I ask because crawrj reported his jig is still working on the EL13 Deodexed ROM from Calkulin (from this thread) and Team Rogue's stock EL13 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This is most confusing. I wouldn't normally worry about that as I can always go back to EG30 and reset but everything is working so well on EK02 that I am not just jumping to flash everything like I normally do.....patiently sitting on the sideline waiting for more feedback unless we need both tested with jig. I got the $7 "Made in USA" jig so I don't want to render it totally useless.. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crzchn:
I installed the stock version and I cannot seem to change my lockscreen wallpaper. Can someone confirm if it works on the rooted version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
WTF? Mine just came today in the mail. Isn't that some bs...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
So you can capture and decrypt the https encrypted payload just using DD-WRT? That's pretty impressive.

Sure you could install a keystroke logger on your 14yo's computer. The point of no CIQ is we don't want a keylogger or botnet installed on our phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akaiNe-iSolutions:
Lol... if u do lose it just flash zedomax kernel and bam...root
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] droidiac13:
I'm with you on that. I am sitting back and just patiently waiting... It's hard though!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rcalpito:
After flashing the el13 modem if I wanted will I be able to flash back to ek02 or Sino have to flash eg 30 first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Flash EG30 then EK02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mynaga:
My jig works fine, power off phone, plug in jig it boots up and into DL mode by itself. And says "erasing download information succeeded."and the binary download counter is reset to NO and it says current binary samsung official.... so maybe you just have a jacked up dongle

Current setup : Look to pic for current setup, was on ek02 flashed el13 via rogue recovery. took a min or two, all seems fine with wifi/3g havent had any issues with either, haven't had los yet and im in a pretty awful service area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I completely understand that... and yes, I can view https pages at work using the RUEI appliance since it's capturing everything in the stream including the pub/priv keys. Decrypting the traffic on my DD-WRT would be a much more difficult task, but I'm more interested in the pages being hit rather than the content.

All I'm pointing out is that CIQ is not the ONLY thing out there to watch out for, it's just the one currently in the headlines.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sandhuxda:
Running EG31 with Starburst ROM 1.9.8r. Updating only the EL13 modem is a no go. Tried 2-3 times already. It just sits there trying to update and finally fails.

Now I am going to try going back to stock and then upgrading from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is pretty impressive that the device is capturing the SSL private keys since they aren't being transmitted in the stream, but alas that is another discussion.

Your previous post made it seem like we shouldn't be concerned about CIQ because there are other ways. IMO we SHOULD be concerned about CIQ *AND* the other ways.

If you'd like to point out what else is currently installed on our phones then I'm sure someone will look into removing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
You only have the EL13 modem. If anything is going to effect the ability to use the jig, it's either going to be the ROM or kernel (I'm not sure which might change the bootloader).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlueKalel:
Has anyone been able to root EL13 from an unrooted tar? I flashed through odin but now when i try and root with doomlord it can't mount. Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
They plugged zergrush.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I wondered if something like that would happen. That's why I went big and got the seven dollar one....lol. I guess I will flash it in the morning and try with mine. I would do it tonight but I can't resist trying the Nexus-Sense and CM9 ROMs for my Nexus. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you actually flash the new EL13 bootloader or just the modem/kernel/rom? They would have implemented the change in the bootloader.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sandhuxda:
Installed "Stock Rooted De-odex'd EL13 ROM (v1.0)" but modem still shows as EG31 :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tridogg97:
It doesn't work on new Rom you still have eko2 build. Doesn't work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sandhuxda:
Got EL13 modem too :) Now hopefully the LoS issue gets fixed with all this updating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasden:
Modem is a separate flash.

For those that had experienced WiFi issues (can't recall if it was this thread or the other one regarding the modem) I tried to replicate leaving the WiFi on and leaving the signal area. Unlike what was posted, I was able to lock onto 3G almost immediately. I am using both the new modem and kernel (via Shady).

Running the combo with Caulkin's EK02 Rom and all is well. I don't see any magical speed increases, etc. But also nothing detrimental.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mynaga:
Ah, sorry for that confusion. Yes i am on ek02 rom/kernel still. Only flashed the new modem. going to wait for Calkulin to update his rom so i dont have to mess wth too much stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sandhuxda:
Went from Starburst ROM w/EG31 to Stock De-odexed EL13 ROM + modem without losing any data :) All changes done using CWM although after flashing Stock EL13 ROM, the button config changed in Recovery which had me stumped for a while.

For the record, I had LoS issues with StarBurst ROM 1.9.8r and EG30. Upgraded to EG31 modem and still had LoS issues. Never used stock so don't know if there were LoS issues with it. So here's hoping, real hard, that EL13 fixes the LoS issue.
