[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Trust me, I try multiple things multiple times so I can single out the source of issues :)

Without SD Card tweak init.d scripts everything is fine. Introduce them into the mix, songs, album art, and the phone in general runs slow as it waits to build up the buffer before reading/writing. Now, benchmarks don't show this because during that buffer time there's no reading/writing so it's not measuring it. Once it actually writes it's slightly faster, but you can clearly see that the test is stalling out and it takes a LOT longer to complete.

As for chad's OC, I realize he's just doing what the chip is rated at, I'm not worried that he's got things set to some bad level, I just also realize that the chip is underclocked probably to save battery, and I'm fine with that speed so I'll take the power savings.

And finally.. the Anthrax kernel has the same A2DP issues as stock, so the bitpool setting is either not changed in it or the setting is elsewhere. I need to flash the other kernel I had from empire's rom to see if that alone can fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cilinyar:
Post your results once you finish testing it out, I'd like to know what they are haha!

Like I said I'm not into pushing my phone anymore, just looking for the best overall experience as possible with complete stability. However once in a great while I decide to flash some stuff and tweak it around to see how far my phone will go before freaking out ha.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Ok.. after another round of testing.

Looks like it's NOT a kernel thing after all. If I use Chad's anthrax kernel in a Sense ROM it doesn't change the quality of the BT A2DP streaming. But in an AOSP ROM, where the audio sounds good, using Chad's AOSP kernel still sounds good.

So it looks like there's some file/setting somewhere else that determines the bitrate or the BT drivers. Guess this isn't going to be as easy as I hoped.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cilinyar:
Well at least you got that figured out haha. I'm still very interested in your findings so keep us updated! ^.^

I've always found that AOSP run better anyways, but I like Sense too much to get rid of it haha! However I'm looking forward to the bugs in the XPLOD ROM to be worked out, I flashed that one when it was released a few days ago and it seems pretty sick.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
I would love to have an AOSP rom, but at this point the phone is missing functionality. I'll deal with Sense, so long as I can play music over BT and not cringe.

BT is important for the car because I can use steering controls

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamWiva:
Hi all,

I was using my phones` usb storage, moving stuff on it when it suddenly stopped working.

Now when I connect the phone via usb onto my pc it shows a message "driver install was unsuccessful" and now I do not have any option on my phone to choose USB mass storage, etc.

And when the phone is connected on the USB the phone screen freezes

I have used different USB cables but have had no luck

Any ideas? I cant even use Odin to reset the phone if needed!

The phone is very laggy when its just on charge too

Using Checkrom HD with siyah 2.4.1

Or is this supposed to be normal? Touchscreen standard test app, and that's result. It's slow, it does not track my finger. Why? It didn't look like this in Froyo (in my memory, should test).

Yea thats right bro :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ilcorsaronero:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I think you could do that with an update.zip, but, it would have to be signed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
I hate to say it... but, I know flashing a bad radio on HTC phones. Can perm brick the phone. May or may not be true here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
Icebluemale30, I'm in the same boat you're in. I just got my phone to odin mode but my PC doesn't see the phone connected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Not true for this phone. Me and many others have flashed kernels to our modem (aka "radio") and flashed a good modem and are fine.

The problem here is that he cannot get his computer to recognize a USB device so download mode is worthless.

To me that would suggest that the bootloader has been modified...if that's where the USB goodies are stored. I would imagine, based on when I hear Windows go bull**** over USB detections, the bootloader either stores the USB host drivers or at least executes them start up and stay resident.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

If you boot up into Android and enable USB debugging does windows recognize any devices?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icebluemale30:
so how can you flash the bootloader when the pc wont see your phone ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ram9200:
nope it says MTP connected?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Icebluemale30:
there has got to be something or somebody who can help with this please !!!!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Does it have Sense?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
Hey barnacles10, for me nothing is working connectivity wise, I can boot into the rom but not even wifi is working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I know mounting to the computer isn't working, but are you able adb into the device from either recovery or after booting into the system? I assume not, but it's worth a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
Not possible for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ram9200:
I dont know much about adb but it appears im connected
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Dayum. JIG.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
Yeah I ordered the jig device today. There's no other way, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Does typing ADB devices in cmd list anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ram9200:
Device not found..... Will a JIG do anything for this bootloader? I think were SOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
At this point I can't think of one. No connectivity at all. If it doesn't recognize download mode, no adb, can't mount the phones storage, and there is no recovery I am currently out of ideas.

JTAG
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hoopsdavis:
No, nothing listed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ram9200:
Could it be that with this bootloader maybe we need a different mobile driver to connect to ODIN?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zfwaeld:
This might be a shot in the dark, but maybe try connecting to a computer running Linux ? If you can get it to recognize the phone, you could try using Heimdall .

Again, this might be a shot in the dark... I don't have any personal experience with Heimdall, but if you're desperate, it's worth a shot....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ram9200:
how do you use Heimdall?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Isn't that when you grab someone from behind if they are choking on something?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
If wi-fi won't work then using kies air to browse it won't work either. that really sucks. Linux box with heimdall might be your last hope unless you browse the uk sgsII and download their drivers maybe?

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Unfortunately if you can't get an ADB connection established or a serial/diagnostic connection established there is no way to flash the correct bootloader, modem, kernel, drivers, whatever the problem is.

JTAG is the only way to go. I forget his handle, but, there is one guy who does this and has a great reputation that roams our forum...

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I'm an old HTC guy, but, I have heard that magic can happen if you soft-brick a samsung but take the battery out for an hour or so...though since you aren't technically bricked--you are able to use the device, sans certain drivers--I'm not sure if this applies, but, it's worth a shot. Sounds like voodoo to me, but, not only has this been reported to work from many different people as a computer techn cum IT guy cum engineer in a previous life I have seen computer voodoo work more times than I can count...so...FWIW it's worth a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Is anyone with issues able to get phone on and see internal storage? If so, can't you pull out SD, copy sfhub's full stock tar to it from PC, use Astro to copy to internal storage then try Mobile Odin to do a full stock flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I've never used Mobile-odin, but, this seems like the last (and most likely to succeed) option. I don't know how you install mobile-odin, but, as long as it doesn't require a formal flash via odin or recovery or ADB amd he can mount ext-SD I think we've got a winner....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I'm honestly surprised every time somebody tries flashing a rom not for their device. just because it's for a galaxy s 2 doesn't mean it's for the epic touch. people always forget to check the model numbers.

I remember seeing this a few times back in the Hero days... people trying to install GSM hero roms and not being able to make calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
....he could probably purchase it from the Market on desktop (I think). I can't post a link to a paid app plus Chainfire deserves better but I think that method will work if the person having problems can get the app. Its just a paid app on Market so no adb or USB connection necessary. Same route could be used if it can be purchased from PC... put SD directly in PC, save apk to it, use file manager to install app....Or copy to internal memory and install
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
there's a free version posted here @ xda in chainfire's thread.

might be on the market too not sure.

Try the Mobile Odin route. You definitely want sfhub's full stock tar that includes the modem. It looks like someone posted a link for you to get free version. You can feel free to PM me if you need further help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
The SD card doesn't mount.. wifi/data does not work. Odin/adb do not work. Thought of this option, but sadly, it won't work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I would tease some of you for doing this. But, then again I ran myself over one time with my own truck trying to fix my shifter cable on a hill. I bet no one here knows V10 dodge RAM weights 5000 lbs.

Anyways, I would think it is fixable. Just take it to a Sprint Store amd tell them you have no idea what happened. Tell them you got a notice to update and this happened. Ask them if they think it is related to Carrier IQ.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Damn, sounds like there aren't any options left then. Shoot, I feel bad for those who flashed that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah, assuming the flash changed your bootloader, you're probably hard bricked. JTAG service or Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
hit them where

Yeah do that...I have done it a few times, just play someone with low iq and make them feel better and don't forget Carrier IQ hit them where it hurts the most...It should work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evantribley:
Or just honestly ask for help. Being nice and honest goes a long way to getting someone on your side. Trying to say that CarrierIQ bricked your phone into a GSM leaked ICS rom may just make you the joke of the day in the backroom. Sprint techs are going to know the difference between 2.3 and 4.0...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
I would keep trying until you find a fix.

just seems strange that there is no way to connect to the phone.

I know linux was brought up ealier. installing ubuntu takes no time at all and would be worth a shot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I, personally, agree 100% with the honesty route. In a former life I was a chronic liar and have grown up to be "blessed" with a very heavy conscience that just can't bear the burden. Also, it works most of the time. Even in my many wranglings with Sprint to get discounts and, essentially, my way...sometimes to absurd ends...I never lie. Why would you if you didn't have to?

However the Sprint techs that I have dealt with don't know the difference between an aftermarket launcher and a stock battery...so...YMMV
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asteetva:
Be as honest as they were with you ( us)

Think about it this way...How honest were Sprint and Samsung with you regarding CIQ thing? I have tried that Honesty route with sprint and lost a few hundred dollars. I will be honest with people who are honest with me too. Honesty is good in personal life not when dealing with these corporations. Since you brought it up I have never lied to anyone either in personal life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I also agree with that sentiment. Do unto others, etc. That applies in both directions. Because of that I don't think twice about the fancy tricks I employ to, essentially, get a brand new top-of-the-line phone ever 2-4 months for free (actually I usually make $100-$150 off of the deal, plus the phone), getting 'inconvenience credits', cancelling without ETF every time the chance comes up, etc. I am working within the system and telling the truth the entire time but using the system against itself. God know's they do the same to us.

But, I won't just outright make up something that isn't true. Though I am rather persuasive on the phone and in person, so, perhaps I have just evolved my dishonesty to not include literal lying, lol, I dunno.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evantribley:
Don't take me too seriously, not accusing anyone of being evil dishonest people :) I'm just saying there is no reason for you to not be helped because you were honest about what happened.

I am sure there are employees at stores who don't know as much as regulars here, but there as just as many who do have a good head on their shoulders.

Full disclosure... I'm a Sprint retail store manager. If you walked in my door and told me what happened I would do what I could to help and I would expect nothing less from any of my colleagues. I can't tell you for certain if it could be reflashed because I am not at a service center but you could simply call your closest S&R location to ask them if they would try.

We really do prefer to have great interactions with customers and help fix their issues. After all, we do like having jobs! Just remember that doesn't mean we have the authority to change every Sprint policy to appease you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
hopefully they leave the stock launcher....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spider415:
I feel so stupid. I flashed this and now can not go back to gingerbread. Odin does not recognize my phone anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Guys...I understand the enthusiasm and excitement. Really. I do. But--for your own sake--, slow down....just a little. Read OP. Read the last page. Still don't have enough information? Scan the thread. Still not enough? Walk away. This isn't something we expected and it isn't reasonable to expect ICS to even leak out yet.

I don't mean to be a ****, especially to my now-screwed brethren. I really do feel for you. Nobody is perfect. I flashed a kernel to my modem once....but that is a totally different story.

Just chalk this up as a lesson. For our sake and especially yours. Nevar forget.
