I think I've narrowed it down to mobile data... if i keep 3g/mobile data turned off it stops rebooting. Does anyone know why that is?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
If you have decent pc knowledge I would suggest reflashing. Although if you are unsure of what you are to do after reading all the info then dont do it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
if you're using some newer roms (GB) have you updated the radios at all? Maybe that's the issue?

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jxs714:
Sidekick 4g will not charge via wall, but does charge very slow on usb. I tried different wall chargers except the "official" wall charger, even a samsung branded usb detachable wall charger, but it still keeps doing in and out with a beep sound and doesn't charge. Am I missing something??? Please help, this issue is extremely aggravating especially when you use your phone for business. X(

I am on the final smooth maximus rom btw.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] koitsu1010:
Well in my experiance with samsung phones and even some htc modles you have to use an offically branded charger for your modle sometimes, it has to do with the pins and how they line up, now if you use the usb cored and a travle wall charger (I use this set up in my truck for work) you should see a faster charge time cause the voltage is higher and its the right pin set
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
The connector is an industry standard. There's no problem with the pins not lining up. There's also no difference in voltage between chargers. Being USB, it has to be 5v.

However, some chargers have higher capacity than others. The USB spec allows for 500mA from a PC's USB port, but chargers sometimes increase it to a full amp for faster charging. The phones will still charge from a PC's USB port, but they'll take longer.

Also, some companies (Like Motorola) require a special Motorola-branded charger. It's just because they want to sell more chargers. The only difference between a real Motorola one and a generic one is a resistor between two pins to identify it to the phone.

The Sidekick doesn't have this vendor lock-in crap. It'll charge from just about anything you can plug it into. If it's not charging I'd suspect a broken USB connector on the phone, a faulty battery, or a damaged charging circuit inside the phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jxs714:
Thanks for the response guys.. Yeah, this stuff is pretty weird.. it would blow if the port is messed up. The phone is brand new though, would they be manufactured faulty?? In that case samsung tech department sucks!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
When you make a million of something, statistics say that a few mistakes will happen. If it's new I'd suggest taking it back. I charge my Sidekick off of my PC's USB port and am often surprised by how quickly it charges.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jxs714:
lol. I see. See, the thing is now its charging fine after a certain %. My guess is the battery is faulty then...

got hold of a pc with odin flashed it sucessfully still stuck in bootloop!!!!

anyone help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
have you gone to recovery and wiped data?

or find a firmware which wipes the data off the phone, i think the KL1 firmware does this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
it really doesnt matter which one you flash, just flash the one which wipes your device completely and then flash back to the firmware of your manufacturer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sutty86:
do you know any of the top of your head which flash them phone whole???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
Please read the whole guide that is in the link and then use one of the firmwares that include "This firmware will wipe your device!" warning... for example DXKG3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
heres the firmware and files im using

if you're from UK use this KI3 Wipe firmware http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3

it should do a wipe therefore making you're phone bootable. go back into download mode and install speedmod kernel, which would also root your phone automatically. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182498 ( flash speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-18-Odin.tar in odin).

use something like ROM manager to get into recovery mode and install VillanROM http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VR3.0beta.php and a kernel of your choice and away you go :)

Thanks in advance..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
yes thats not a issue.

Yet another very valuable and awesome tool by sfhub! :eek:

Thank you sir for your infinite wisdom and dedication to this device and for this community. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Ever since I did a factory reset using this method now my gps seems to be broken. I.never had a GPS problem when the phone came fresh from Sprint. Is anybody else having this issue? My GPS turns on even if its turned off when I use an app that needs it. I don't know if is due to this or the auto root method I used to root. But so far nothing seems too fix it. I even tried the one click Odin method to eg30 and then ota but the problem still there :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you try backing up your data with Titanium or cwm, then performing a ##786# reset from the dialer? It'll reset your phone (nvram and data) and will need your msl (inst in the first post)

Sometimes Android doesn't like upgrade/downgrades where you preserve your data. The Full version is the cleanest install. The NoData version works most of the time, but sometimes Android will not behave well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Thank you I'll try that next. After some thinking I've come to the conclusion that its neither of those things I mentioned earlier but the hotspot hack which is causing the problems. Ima try removing that 1st and testing it out. If the problem is still there after that I'll try ##786#
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
None of these programs you have work for me. I can flash any sort of tar file regularly, but when I try to use your one-click solutions the program doesn't even detect my phone and it doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Well, you aren't giving a lot to go on. Since you've given almost no information I'll just take some stabs in the dark. Have you tried a different cable? Have you tried unplugging/plugging back in after the program come up? It works for everyone else, so there must be something peculiar to your setup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Done all those, yup. Like I said, normal Odin works AOK the first try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense as they are both using the same usb interface port to access the phone.

Is there anything at all in the log section of One-Click odin? Can you post a screenshot?

I use the EK02 One-Click all the time, so I know it works. When I get back, I'll download it once again and double-check. What is the md5sum on your download? Does it match what was provided in the post?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Can you try right-clicking on the one-click executable, then selecting "Run As" and then choose Administrator? It might be a permission problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
Make sure that you have extracted everything correctly. I have had odin not work correctly in the past because I just did a drag and drop with 7zip instead of extracting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Ill try admin privs when I get home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
OK, same deal. I can open up Odin3 v1.85.exe and the one-click programs (with admin privs) side-by-side. Odin will have the comm connected status thing ready and the one-click programs don't.

I tried a different cable and still the same thing. Even tried compatibility mode

Edit:

To follow up I checked the MD5 sum, I dowloaded 7zip to extract it with 7zip instead of just the self-extractor, and it still doesn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Don't know what to tell you. I downloaded the EK02 Full updater fresh.

I started both Odin v1.85 and One-Click Odin side-by-side

Odin v1.85 picks up com ports right away (com26, com29) but they are for ports it can't use. One-Click Odin shows no com ports available.

I type "adb reboot download" to get the phone in ODIN download mode. As the phone reboots, Odin v1.85 no longer shows any com ports.

Once the phone is in ODIN download mode, both Odin v1.85 and One-Click ODIN show com35.

I can't really begin to fix something if I can't duplicate the problem, but if you want I can upload an ODIN v1.85 compatible tar.md5 file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
Yeah, I've tried everything possible and can't get it to work. It wouldn't have anything to do with a 64-bit OS, would it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
I'm not sure -- but I have the same exact problem, on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I have used Odin (manually) a bunch of times with no issues at all. No matter what the state of the OC/USB cable/phone, I can't seem to get the OC to work.

I'm downloading the separate TARs and flashing that way.

Glad to have the OC anyways, since it seems to work for people! Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It is possible. The packages were tested on a 32-bit OS so it is definitely a difference and any difference could theoretically account for the issue. I would have thought if that was the problem it would be isolated to the drivers though.

It isn't really doing anything complicated, just connecting to a COM port and sending over data. My best guess is this is still either some type of permission or driver incompatibility. If we knew the cause it would probably not be that difficult to resolve but the time consuming part is figuring out the cause.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I'll upload the regular ODIN tar.md5 and post a link by tomorrow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ayman86:
just want to say i used this for my phone. win7pro 64bit. no problems. i doubt ultimate makes any difference
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Here are the links to the regular ODIN tar.md5 files. They are 7-zip self-extractors so either double-click on them or use 7-zip from the first post.

Are these odex or deodexed?

I used one of these already and then tried installing some of the mods that are deodexed only . So i followed a link that gave me the download link for the deodexed version which gave me the yellow triangle back. is there another deodexed version of ek02 i can install that won't trigger the yellow triangle on bootup ?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Stock ROMs are all odex'd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmap516:
These are the full package, but usable in normal Odin, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
They are exactly the same as the one-click versions, except they are the raw tar.md5 files which can be flashed in ODIN 1.85 (or any ODIN that can take tar.md5 ODIN files)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tyea:
Worked fine on my win 7 64 bit os. I made sure I had the sdk ( with google USB drivers installed)and Kies drivers installed, with adb working (also a qbking77 video on setting up adb). I plugged my phone in the pc several times in usb mode,non USB mode, and USB debugging mode (until no more drivers automatically installed). I typed in the cmd window 'adb reboot download' while I had the sdk open. Opened Odin and loaded the tar file as instructed. I watched qbking77's video on how to do this.

I'm not saying all that is necessary, but being a noobie at this I took this conservative approach, and it worked flawlessly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shades333:
Are there any deodexed versions that won't trigger the yellow exclamation point on boot up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Deodex or Odex'd have nothing to do with Yellow Triangle.

ODIN flashing a kernel not signed by Samsung is what triggers that. If that kernel happens to be in the package you are flashing then that is the cause, not the ROM.

If you don't want the yellow triangle, just flash whatever you like then reflash just the stock kernel from here (see 2nd post for individual components)

After that don't use ODIN to flash your kernel, use CWM or the Auto Root package.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darthstewie:
The download links for the regular one click version are all saying file is removed or deleted. Any chance on a new link?

EDIT: Never mind, sigh, the deposit files link works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The links expire if they haven't been downloaded for a while. Usually there are a couple that work. If they are all dead, let me know and I'll refresh them.

It has been a little hectic with MegaUpload.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yes please sfhub, the only link in the op is dead (or appears to be). I will continue searching other posts for mirrors. I had a catastrophe with my laptop and am dl'ing all essential files to a flash drive. Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The multi link is a link to multiple mirrors, but multiupload (not to be confused with MegaUpload) itself has been up and down the last day. I added a mirror link. Let me know if it works for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I want to get back to a stock ROM, radio, and kernel. I know I can flash a stock ROM/kernel...but would prefer to have the radio the same number too.

I have an ET4G, but it's not active currently. Do I need to have active service to perform the above process? Or is flashing a Stock ZIP through CWM recovery my only option to getting some resemblance of stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
You can either use the ODIN method or the ZIP via CWM. Neither requires the service to be active. You can go right back to factory EK02 if you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I wasn't sure if flashing a Radio with no service would hurt the phone in anyway. That was my biggest concern.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nivron:
Nope, the only concern is losing power mid-radio flash or flashing items in the wrong slot if using ODIN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thespotlite:
Thanks! That was a quick and easy way to go back to stock. Very painless
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slatter39:
I tried manually updating from EK02 to EL29 but it doesnt seem to work after factory restoring using

[ODIN][STOCK][TAR] SPH-D710.EK02_CL704398 (EK02 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Factory Restore)

I thought you could manually update after that per the instructions. I dont want to use this

[ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted)

then re install all my apps and go through my set up again.

what am i doing wrong.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
How are you "manually" updating? Running the EL29 OTA update?

What error are you seeing?

I've run the EL29 OTA update on top of the EK02 ODIN TAR you mentioned above probably 30 times now. It does work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slatter39:
Thanks for the prompt response. I am trying the EL29 OTA update. I went to settings/about phone/system updates on the phone and tried both update firmware and update android, but with update firmware, it checks for firmware updates and then the message (Attention, no firmware update is available) pops up. With Update android, i get (Your system is currently up to date.)

Is there any other way to do the OTA update?

Thanks a bunch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Google picks phones at random to receive the OTA update. They do it this way so their systems don't get overloaded. If your phone hasn't been chosen yet, you can ask for firmware over and over and will never get the update.

If you look at resource A14 in the Auto Root sticky, there is a link to download the OTA update manually. You'll need stock recovery and will have to rename the file to update.zip and place on external SD.

It will disable your root so you'll need to add that back.

Alternatively you could go with a pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slatter39:
Thanks. I wanted to go with the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click but i have some stuff i dont want to lose since that will redo my phone all over. Now the question is how to root EL29.

Decided to go with [ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted). easy for me than to do OTA then root. Thanks for all your help.

Is this safe to go from FI03 stock root with AGAT recovery to this. This will go back to stock and stock recovery correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Yes. It will wipe all your data and programs. I would not recommend using the no data version since you are regressing back. If you want a totally clean version to return to a store you should also format your internal sd card and remove any micro sd card you installed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DoDaHarry:
my only question is does this method require root prior to flashing from ics to gb?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
No. ODIN doesn't need anything. It will overwrite everything but the data on your internal and external sdcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
True , but the stock version that this phone recieves from factory now is fh13. FF18 prior to that, and EL29 prior to that. If you walked into a store with ek02 they would probably look at you funny. Just saying. EL29 or ff18 stock one clicks are available too. I would try one of those first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Dang... EK02? If you want gingerbread flash EL29. It's a lot better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Agreed, by far the most versatile build that this phone has ever seen. Works with everything, and no bugs that I've known. For gaming, i always flash back to el29. Simply the best.
