[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Not true.

They have been told by Sprint to get rid of CarrierIQ.

It stands to reason that the priority is that. I'm sure they're just tweaking before releasing that update.

ICS probably won't come until mid Q1 or Q2 anyway.

And it will be ugly as hell, thank you Samsung Twiz.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numus:
Current internal Sprint rumour i heard is Nexus s 4g is getting ICS sometime in january and february and the Epic 4g Touch is 1-2 months after that. I dont always put much stock into this, but I have recieved leaked software from this source so they are usually pretty accurate.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Which is mid Q1 to Q2. ;) :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Flashed via mobile Odin... Yes, it does seem snappier. Modem still reads as EL13, though.

Injecting root via Mobile Odin didn't work, either. I'm going to live with no root for a while, to test the battery life and see if there is an improvement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
1+ same here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Not sure what combination you flashed. The modem that came with the tar says EL26.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I flashed the .tar that came straight from Samfirmware...

If it IS an EL26 modem, then either it didn't flash as part of the package, or they misnamed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rgregg504:
Mobile odin doesnt do modems you have to do it the old way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigfdaddy:
El26 modem is included its a all in one el26 tar....u probobally have to use Odin on PC...I don't think mobile Odin does modems..just the kernal and android....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Thats good to know that mobile odin didnt inject root. Did you send a e-mail to the dev of mobile odin? Also i think you should make a thread in the general section to inform every one its not working correctly :-(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] random45:
EL26 seem much quicker for data speeds, but that could just be me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I don't like to contact devs when I find "issues" with programs while I'm at work, because I don't have a lot of time to do troubleshooting on my own to confirm an issue.

In this case, root test (ES File Explorer settings for Root Explorer) failed. But when I got home, I found I can still run Roam Control, and typing SU in Connectbot returns a #, so I assume I really DID have root after using mobile Odin.

After uninstalling and redownloading ES, it accepts root.

I DID end up flashing Caulklin's repack so I could have CWM to flash the EL26 modem... This far, I don't notice any signal strength difference.

However, if somebody can confirm for me, it seems I no longer can play videos from Netflix. I get audio on a black screen... no picture.

-Edit: Uninstalling and reinstalling Netflix fixed the issue. I'm sensing a pattern here! Apparently if you restore the app with mybackup root, it doesn't work perfectly as it did with EL13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Megatr0n.:
Just flashed the modem through CWM. It took a few minutes to find a 3g signal, but after that everything worked fine.

I haven't tested it long enough to say with certainty whether or not it's better than the EL13 modem, but from my initial speedtests I have to say that it's certainly not worse.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paniro187:
My back up root sucks ass
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbedward:
I like it, I use titanium too because it lets me backup all system app data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
So what have u guys noticed/feel about it now since uv had time to play with it??

Anything much better than EL13.........and root confirmed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MadFlava:
I did that like a month ago after buying Mobile Odin. It still hasnt been fixed nor was it ever acknowledged.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Like I said, it turned out that Mobile Odin DID inject root. I just had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of programs before they recognized it.

My usual test is going to ES File Explorer and seeing if I can use the Root Explorer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
Wondering if a titanium backup restore would work
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Are you flashing modems with Mobile Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
No, I flash the modem.zips when they are posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mottyengel:
Hi, i am very new at all of this, i have never even rooted a phone before. my question is which rom do i want... there are like 10-15 of them, i want one thats fast, i hear that touchwiz really slows everything down so i guess one that gets rid of that. everyone talks about the pure google experience, which one(s) would give me that. but also with features like the cool crt thing, and the the toggles in the notification bar (4g,wifi) there was one with alot of different ones...

then like 2 weeks ago, the infamous bubby got ics working but there werent any fixes because apparently he was banned... so i guess, cant really expect anything new to come from there... is anyone else going to continue it, or start over? is bubby's stable enough?

also, one last thing, please dont laugh, but if someone could just tell me how the procedure works, i can watch the how to videos but the order is my question, first you root (with "odin"), then you flash a rom?

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sean is here.:
there are probably a lot more than 10-15. there could also be ROMs in other places (sites) for your device. the rule is, that you have to check ROMs yourself. what someone else finds great may not run so smoothly on your hardware. you just have to try them yourself. there are different 'flavors' of ROMs, because the user experience is subjective. sticking with the 'flavor' metaphor, do you think a group of 1000 people could tell you what flavor of ice cream you would like 'best'? of course not, people like different things. the only thing you can do is try them out, and decide for yourself.

I'm not positive, but I think almost all of the ICS builds you'll find will likely be 'alpha' or 'beta', at best. Which means that they're not really stable enough for daily use yet. right now, ICS is more of a proof of concept and for devs who are working hard to get it ready to be ported to your phone. asking 'Are we there yet?', isn't going to make it arrive any faster.

and to your last question. that's about right. when you've rooted, then you can flash. read, read, read. then when you feel ready...flash away.

hope this helps. good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mottyengel:
thanks for your help... yeah, i guess ive just got to check them all out... maybe try a couple different ones..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sean is here.:
that's the best route. also, you can check youtube by searching for the name of a ROM you're interested in. sometimes you'll find walkthru videos that can help you eliminate some of them without wasting the time and effort of flashing. or maybe you'll see the video and say 'THAT'S the rom I want!!!:D'

Thanks for sharing. Clearly works, if I underclock to 800Mhz the browser normally crawls - but its still smooth with this. Still not as good as Samsung stock, but its useful none the less.

Linux Users

If you're unlocking on Linux and following HTC's instructions on htcdev.com/bootloader then don't forget to run the fastboot commands using sudo. This stumped me for a little while.

When trying to get the identifier token all I was getting was:

$ ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token
< waiting for device >
^C

Running fastboot under sudo quickly displayed my token.

$ sudo ./fastboot oem get_identifier_token

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all that downloading you have to do is just to install 3 files, one of which you execute to get the ID # needed for HTC to send the proper code to unlock, right? Perhaps someone can just post the files, or is it more complicated than that.

Anyhoo happy rooting everyone! :)

Mac works exactly the same except the command is ./fastboot-mac

If you drop the .bin file in the same folder as your fastboot-mac binary you don't need to worry about the path. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file into the command line window, and it will fill in the path for you.

I much prefer working from OSX because you don't need to deal with the constant driver issues.
