I would recommend flashing the modem while on an el29 rom, as for some reason it freezes sometimes when you try and flash alongside the rom in one recovery session.

Flashing the fb17rom WILL erase your recovery. That is why you will have to flash the rogue kernel through ODIN, and NOT RECOVERY.

If you would rather stay away from odin, you can also, (once ur on fb17), d/l rom manager, flash the recovery by selecting SGS2 and NOT e4gt, boot into that recovery from rom manager, and flash the rogue fb17 recovery .zip from that rom manager cwm recovery.

This method has also worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edanono:
meatwad you are a life saver. I would have been totally lost. Also, I apologize, totally missed odin fb17 kernel in your fist post. Going to double check on the odin process and get it done.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
I am confused about the whole sd card mount issue. Like others, I was unable to download and install paid apps from the market. In particular I was having problems with XDA Premium app.

I had this repackaged kernel and Rouge recovery loaded and for the past few hours I had my Xda Premium app showing up just fine. Then, it just disappeared again and homescreen icon showed loading and the app wasn't to be found in my application drawer.

I followed Steady's advice, went to. Menu_Storage_SD Card and unmounted the external sdcard. Market download and install of XDA Premium went fine, and the user data was still intact. I logged in and am typing this as we speak.

Can someone explain this inconsistent behavior to me please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Yes vips. If you donate you get VIP status and can beta test his roms before public release. Phantomroms.com I think is his site
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Danial723:

ALSO .. is this de-odexed ? no right ? b/c the ics-4-ics theme is for de-odexed only and it is friggin SWEEEEET
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bo5ibbs:
so nobody has tried on a mac?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
The kernel itself is not odexed/deodexed. That depends on which ROM you loaded.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

The voicemail issue.... check the past 5 or so pages in THE CALK FB17 THREAD. Someone posts a fix there. I think it aactually involves flashing that theme u mentioned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
calkulins fb17 with the fb15 modem .. its the deodexed version .. so if i odin this will i still be deodexed and be able to use the theme ? thanks for your help brotha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
That is correct.... and you're very welcome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
one more question for you my new friend .. what is the benefits of odining this over what i already have ? anything ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
You mean flashing with odin instead of recovery? It is essentially the same thing. If you got up and running stable using one method, no need to do the other.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
no i mean what will be different on my phone after odining this as oppose to what i already have going on with calkulins fb17 with fb15 modem ? will it change or improve anything ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
You will have a custom recovery from which you can flash other roms, restore backups, etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
ok thanks for the help again
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MJHawaii:
I have recovery through rom manager only via suggestions prev posts i tried flashing this through odin and it does not work also during boot i have an all black screen after the gs2 logo other than that everything works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Just an FYI you can use sfhub's automated root tool to install this kernel. It's really easy and does not trigger the yellow triangle. I originally used it to flash Steady's FB15 repack, and just used it again to flash FB17. No issues whatsoever. Although FB17 isn't in the tool yet, so you have to pull out the FB17 zimage file and drop it in the right folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] waxrock:
If this removes the bootanimations and makes it all black, how do I know if I'm getting into a bootloop or if it's actually booting?

All I'm getting is vibrations every now and then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bravo1565:
I had same issue I what ended up doing was flash rom fb17 ,flash modem then let it power on the I went rom manager flash recovery (flash sgs2) once you do that go into recovery from rom manager then flash kernal/recovery that worked for me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
Anyone else having kinda funky wifi? Sometimes the icon disappears and needs to be toggled to show up again, and also sometimes the wifi and signal icon stay grey.

Great otherwise, no LOS :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
I saw this on sfhub's thread and it sounds like a good way to do it. How do you pull the zimage file from Steady's kernel?

Just drag or extract the zImage file out of SH's ZIP and drop it into the folder sfhub specified.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate633:
I used Heimdall to flash the Rogue kernel, and it worked. I don't know if I did it the correct way, but here's what I did and it worked. Note, this was for installing Calkulins ICS ROM too.

Coming from Calkulins 2.8

In CWM, flashed the FB15 modem

Rebooted

In CWM, wiped data, dalvik, and cache 3x each

Flashed ZIP of Calkulins ICS ROM

Rebooted then rebooted again for good measure

For the kernel, I double-click the TAR file, and it "unzips" the zImage file

Using Heimdall, "heimdall flash --kernel zImage"

The first reboot after the kernel install is scary, no boot animation and a bunch of vibration "beeps". I let it sit for about 2 minutes, and it finished booting.

Hope that helps, I finally got my phone working again after starting this last night. This method worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bo5ibbs:
I have pulled the zimage but it keeps telling me that the file is not a valid PIT file. Do I need to convert it to a PIT format?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate633:
I didn't have that error and I didn't have to rename it. Maybe a corrupt download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizky911:
Welcome back yellow triangle
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Not if you don't use Odin. ;)

Look back a page or two regarding using sfhub's autoroot tool to flash this kernel. It works, and no increased flash count or triangle.

Still, jigs are cheap anyways.

Yea but the triangle away app is free....:)

Does anyone know why after flashing this kernel my music in google music no longer plays?? It worked fine before coming off the SD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
I believe currently these kernels block SD access for ur phone. Put it on internal. A fix will come.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Steady Hawkin:
External SD should only be broken if your on CM9 Alpha 3.1 or earlier. Sbrissen moved external storage on unreleased builds to /sdcard/external_sd so when he releases his new build it will work on that.

In the mean time if your on any other build go to settings-->storage and make sure your external sd is mounted.

Currently we are also looking into reverting bootanimation support on non-CM9 releases in order to get support back. Still not sure why it breaks it on ICS :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d j a:
External storage works fine, but you can't install apps there or use TB to restore apps onto it. This is problematic if you tell TB to restore apps to their original location. I also noticed you can't even move apps to SD via ICS..this seems strange. (and annoying..)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych2l:
Agreed, my previous apps on .android_secure on the external sd are being put into the internal_sd instead which sucks since I have way less space there :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fishfuzz:
This morning I got only 3 hours before low battery warning. Top of the usage was gpsd (76% with 2h 20m 55s CPU).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Think I'm having a kernel related issue...my power button has stopped working in the 1.2.1 kernel and in Android...when I try and power the system down from CWM, it just sits there at "Shutting down..."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
I haven't had that issue yet. Perhaps when he repacks fb21 he can look at it. Maybe the whole disabling it with up down up down came back from original CWM? Does the home button work as select for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The search button as select works for me. Either way, no power button functionality in the OS...and as soon as I plug the battery in, the phone powers up. Started happening today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
That is odd. How did you flash this? Odin or .zip file? I used odin so maybe that could fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
I reodined and reflashed the stock FB17...the stock recovery doesn't like the power button either. Seems hardware related. Argh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Oh boy. that isn't good. Hope the power button isn't damaged.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Hit it a couple times and it's better...restored my backup and it seems fine now. I might have it swapped out tomorrow at the sprint store. What is the current stock ROM and recovery I need to flash so I can get it replaced with warranty service? They replace it at the store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Good question. I believe EL29 is. That was the last official update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
So get the EL29 ROM and flash it in Odin, then USB jig it? What about modem? Same version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Safest way would be odin to like ek02 stock and take the OTA update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
Flashed v3 of TBM rom...then flashed this with Mobile Odin Pro to get Rogue recovery back no issues....booted into Recovery flashed FB21 modem...the triangle was not present nor was the sprint boot animation. Hope this helps people with no pc. Mobile Odin Pro is your friend. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
Yes EL29 is the last official update. Grab the EL29 stock rooted tar and flash that with Odin. That will give you the stock kernel and stock recovery with the only change from stock is you will still be rooted. Then use auto root to unroot. No need to go back to EK02 and take an OTA. This method won't give you the yellow triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] solesonfire:

there is no warning on the thread that this NOT compatible with EL29 and would result in a brick device

Almost 100% certain the issues with my phone are related to this kernel. My phone acts perfectly normal on Gingerbread based ROM's and kernels. The second I flash this kernel, the phone freaks out. Reboots randomly, power button doesn't work, and as of lately, after Odining this kernel, the phone shuts off right after flashing.

Wierd, i have experienced none of those issues. You do know this is an ICS only kernel? Probably a stupid question but no problems here.

You're running FB17 ICS right? Maybe its not compatible with FB15/21
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The kernel I'm on is 1.2.1. ROM is FB21.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] meatwadathf:
Maybe that's your issue... You're running an FB15 (i believe, possibly FB17) kernel with an FB21 Rom. Maybe downgrade rom to match kernel, or ride it out till SH comes out with an FB21 kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interloper:
Ivee been running the FB21/FB15 combo with the FB21 modem flashed since it was released. I made a zip with the rom/kernel and flashed that followed by the modem zip. Aside from the GPS not shutting down right and the alarm not being accessible I haven't experienced many problem. If you want help faster join irc.freenode #ics-dev-e4gt. Good luck and be careful.
