When I tried to restore it, after running Odin my phone got stuck at the 4g animation screen, and keep on restarting it self. What do I need to do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robbyr:
Hi! I'm Rob and I'm a flashaholic!

In the past week, I think that I have flashed about every ROM on page 1 of the dev section. They all have their high points but I am a developer. Our motto is "If it aint broke, tweak it!"

A few things that I want to point out...

Battery life (even before settling) is AWESOME! To clarify, I stick with the same setup on every ROM that I try. At best, I could expect about 12-14 hours before it needed a charge. After day one with this ROM, I can easily double that with the same setup.

BT headset controls don't work. This is the case with every ICS ROM that I have tried except the AOKP (Milestone 5).

HaxSync FC. Like BT headset controls, doesn't work on anything that I have tried except AOKP.

Other that these 2 MINOR issues, the flashaholic is sticking to one for now. Loving this one. Thanks much for the great ROM!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] info[]box1:
When you say restore are you referring to native settings data factory day reset.? Im curious, but we might can help with more info

Can someone post a link GPlay share link for FoxFi please. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering, what's up with your avatar? For a distinguish dev like yourself you should be sporting a trademark avatar. Something that reflects your personality. I know your busy all the time putting out stuff for XDA, and doing all the stuff everybody does when not in the forum, but that generic Avatar isn't cutting it.

Just wondering.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
None have CWM. [ODIN] means that they are packages designed to be flashed through ODIN; [CWM] means that they are packages designed to be flashed through CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes. The OneClick itself has stock modem and kernel with pre-rooted ROM, so if you wanted pure stock, you could either just flash B3 or use Auto Root Option B to unroot.

Not on my e4gt, but when I used my webOS palm pre, that device was susceptible to the degraded charge port.. one thing I always did in this situation was whichever direction needed to put that extra little bit of pressure to one side of the plug/port, I would just wrap the cord around the phone once and then the weight of the phone resting on the cord was enough to keep everything tight and in place for it to charge..

I have a question. this is probably normal but idk. i'm still new to samsung phones. I was on FF18 and i wanted to go back to EL29. So i went back doing the full restore with resetting data. So while i was flashing it has been about 20-30 minutes. and it is still on <ID:0/005> data.imgs

It doesn't seem like anything has moved. I was wondering if there was any reason for it to take this long or is something wrong? ha

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Nevermind. Tried something and it worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
The only way this community works is to share the good and bad as we learn it... It would be nice if you explained what the "something" was that worked. From your original post, it would have appeared to some that you had possibly bricked your phone since you were hung on the data file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mad5870:
I was going to share. i was trying to duplicate the problem again. And i did. for some odd reason this worked. I held the power button in until it stopped flashing. I couldn't get a picture cause i can't find a camera but it said something about go through kies into recovery And it looks like a phone is connected to the computer. So i didn't touch anything on the phone and went back to Odin OC and just reflash like you normally would. it went through everything again and worked. idk if it was luck might have been. but it worked both times.

I am unable to do an OTA update to ICS after flashing this ROM. Did I miss something? I thought I would be able to.

I was able to get to ICS by flashing the update manually after applying this ROM (I had a borked phone previously)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I was about to say that I can guarantee this EL29 restore does work with the FF18 OTA update. I've done it probably 50 times over the last few months.

If you are having problems it is probably a problem with corrupted update.zip, problem renaming the update.zip, some files you modified or changed on the ROM, using CWM instead of stock recovery, using internal SD instead of external SD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] linuxtad:
Tried to perform a nandroid backup before some experimenting and that option is not in the recovery menu. I have seen it prior but do not go into recovery often. My initial thought is that update.zip is the culprit.

Not at home to check my files, is there a current version available online? Done many searches on google, the ones I have located are either for incorrect rom/phone or non-trusted sources. Looked through OP but did not see it.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't know if you are saying you used the FF18 OTA update.zip or not.

If you flashed EL29 in this thread, you have stock kernel/recovery and root.

To get CWM (ie your nandroid backup) you can use the Auto Root package and install EL29+CWM-Rogue

Link for Auto Root is in the first post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

If you installed the FF18 OTA and don't have root anymore, then you need to get root first before you can install CWM through Auto Root.

Alternatively you could use ODIN to flash an ICS kernel+CWM, then if you care about the resulting yellow triangle and flash count use a USB jig to reset or use Triangle Away.

Sprint customer service

So I used this to completely restore to stock, then used auto-root to unroot my phone. Should that be sufficient if I wanted to bring my phone into the Sprint store to get it replaced?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes.

You may want to also format your internal SD for privacy reasons. Also remove any external SD unless you want to give that to Sprint.

This is probably overkill, but if you want to wipe your phone # and login info from NVRAM do a ##786# reset from the dialer. You'll need your MSL, which you can get from typing "getprop ril.MSL" in an adb shell. When the reset is done, immediately turn on airplane mode so it won't do hands free configuration.

Sprint already has the info in your NVRAM and usually people only do this when selling the phone to another party.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skippwhy:
Thanks for the info. I would have totally forgotten to format my SD card, and there are plenty of...illicit pictures on there, along with a bunch of ROMs and backups.

Whoa.. Wait.

The last post you wrote, looking at your profile, you said you were on ICS OTA and you decided to use the No Data of EL29, which is Ginger Bread?

Not a good idea. Your apps were updated to ICS, and you went backwards..

Best solution, format your phone, one click back to stock and start over... Be sure to use the Full Restore. Sync your contacts with google..

because from I read here it is pretty risky to do anything from ICS rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
To the two boost questions; the only advice i can give you is one of the following:

I'd ask in the "how to flash to boost thread" or both of you get together and start a new topic in Q&A.

By no means am i being hateful but your questions may be being overlooked by someone knowledgeable in the boost arena to answer.

I have seen posts where people that have said once you make the proper changes to get on boost, they hold when flashing. But I'm not on boost and its second hand information.

My thought process is if a flash makes changes, then a nandroid backup would take you back. So i would at least do that before flashing..

Good luck and i hope you get an answer.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
No problem.

The easiest way, in my thinking, is just use the ek02 one click. No root, and the ota process will take your boss to the lastest official update.

Be sure to sync contacts w google and since the phone will be pure stock, if theres anything else to backup, try using kies. Not sure if titanium backup would do you any good but you may want to check that out that prior to flashing.

So in short, sync contacts, get any email settings you may need to reestablish, find out any priority data that needs to be saved, etc, and use ek02. Here's the thread:

The ODIN modem flash should work. You can flash via CWM also. The CWM flashable modems are in my signature.

I just downloaded the EL26 modem tar.md5 from the EL26 thread in my signature and flashed it. The baseband version changed to EL26, so the file is working.

Are you sure you are looking at the "baseband version"? Sometimes people mistake one of the other components like "kernel version" for the baseband/modem.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
My thinking is it is a one-off hiccup with ODIN and the flashing of your phone. If the problem was the ODIN package itself, it would happen for everyone. It's not a bad download either or the md5 checksum would have failed. Hopefully a re-flash fixes everything. If not, see if you can boot into recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Re-flash was successful. Thanks man :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Quick qestion that looks like it's moot, but from a few replies of others now I'm not sure. This looks like it DOES now contain the full EL29+CWM is that correct? I must say your (and that of the others here) is freaking great! Thanks XDA guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The tar packages are meant to be as close to stock as possible. I only integrated root into them because Samsung blocked the zergrush exploit.

If I integrated EL29+CWM into this package, then flashing it would give you a yellow triangle and increase your flash count. It isn't that much effort to do so, it just has that undesirable side-effect.

So basically the way I package these is you get stock everything, except a rooted ROM. This won't trigger a yellow triangle nor will it increase your ODIN flash count.

Then you just go to the Auto Root package and choose Option C to install CWM (also without triggering yellow triangle and not increasing flash count)

I usually integrate in chris41g's stock+CWM into the Auto Root package, but he hasn't released one for EL29 yet.

In the mean time, you could either

1) use EL26+CWM and when you are done with CWM, switch back to EL29 (assuming you want the EL29 kernel)

2) run EL26+CWM (or any kernel+CWM) with EL29 modem/ROM

3) use the generic zImage/BootImg install feature of the Auto Root package to install EL29+RogueCWM from this thread. You basically extract the zImage from that zip file and place it in the copy2sd\000root directory (of the auto root package), then choose Option C and Install Generic BootImg.

ODIN went fine but it says no firmware update available. Strange since it is GB and the ICS is available. It wouldn't matter if I did the user data restore vs full wipe with ODIN would it? Or does bad 3G possibly cause the update not to be recognized?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
It won' be under firmware update. It'll be under software update. If you have never seen a push of FF18, it can take up to 24 to 48 hours. (FF18 will be the next step up from EL29, then onto FH13)

Or you can use Kies to go straight to FH13.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flashman2002:
It is showing EK02. When I got to his about phone, there it show Firmware, Profile, PRL and Android update. The Android tries to update for EL29. Am I better off using ODIN or Keyes to just push official ICS to his phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Yes, Android update.

The OTA update process is incremental. Meaning it'll step up to the latest.

From EK02 it's going to apply EL29, then FF18, then FH13.

If you use Kies, you'll go straight to FH13. Much quicker.
