I've downloaded it twice and unzipped it on my computer both times. Since this is the recommended way to do it, I haven't tried it on the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
I use winrar and have no problems at all. 7zip is garbage. You can try with phone but that will be a long process haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cartmanz:
I dont have a root section on my sdcard what do i do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Root directory refers to the base of the sd card, i.e. outside of any folders. In windows, this would mean the file is located in, for example, c:\ rather than c:\somefolder\ - does that make sense?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cartmanz:
Thank you makes perfect sense

7zip works fine. I've used it with no issues.

[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Winrar is much easier to use and faster is all 7zip I've had problems and in the past and even now it doesn't extract everything correctly. that's just my experience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Nashdogg:
7zip works fine for me also. I use it all the time. Ymmv
[Epic 4G Android Development] xjayman:
7zip works for me also....for those having problems refer back to a post a few pages back that states extract with 7zip and then extract that same file with 7zip again and it produces folder from there youre good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dangelo122:
I installed it, but when I go to reboot, it goes into the same, rom I was using before, im doing this to update prl
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Yes, that's what its supposed to do...

Flash this, it'll boot into the rom.

Then you update your prl.

Then you power off and back on and you're back in your usual rom.

so I downloaded, unpacked the multiboot folder, updated the intramfs and zimage files... goto cwm and flash the /multiboot/el30/boot_el30.zip reboot phone...

and it just goes to my CM9 I was running, doesn't seem to be running the rom off of my SD card

Fixed, not all files were retained on my SD card after the copy for some reason...
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennysvgp08:
So I'm guessing this would work for MIUI v4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sicclee:
Hey, I'm on beta0, no problems at all, everything is great. If I don't roam ever is there a reason to update the prl? Rotation works great too, I just don't want to do something unnecessary.

Also, I've been following the epic cm9 forum posts, blog spot and Google+, and I haven't seen information regarding these questions:

Is face recognition to unlock going to be available in future releases?

Is unlock to phone/texts going to be available?

On most official ics phones there is a soft bar that has home/back/search buttons. Is this not a part of cm9 because we have the hard buttons?

Thanks for all your hard work!

When phone reboots it gets stuck on Galaxy S screen. I have tried downloading it twice and unzipping twice. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
Honestly it took mine about 10 minutes before it booted n I was on FC09 and it botted in to el30 and everything work like a charm updated profile n prl and also calibrated the sensor :) works good now. Just give it a time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
Did that lol the phone is so laggy so much changed between aokp and stock DI28 lol or maybe its just me . Hmmm...
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
Face unlock already out in the lock screen

Unlock to new text is already out I think once u pull down the notification bar hmm there is option in the lockscreen settings to put custom apps maybe put phone and sms
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
Make sure ur on current cwm 5 download rom manager on top it will say flash current cwm. So it will ask u if ur on epic mtd u click that then it will tell u the current cwm is 3.x.x.x.x just flash that one n then boot in to recovery and flash sd bootable el30 n do ur update prl n profile hope it helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] diablo311:
Shud since its based off of cm9.

They didn't mention it in the title bcuz I think most people use cm9 and aokp

I'm in the middle of dealing with this right now. Installed CM9 ICS on an epic 4g. No 3G. Ran the rom off SD and updated the PRL and profile. 3G started working while in the SD EL30 rom. Reboot and go back into CM9, and it doesn't see 3g. Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Are you on sprint or another carrier?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swatpup102:
Sprint.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
I've tested out face unlock and it's really tough to get it to work because, as they said, our front camera isn't that great. If you really want it to install, create a blank file at /sdcard/.forcefaceunlock before you install gapps. [sourced straight from the CM9 FAQs]
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Couldn't wait for a chance to run this: Added the two new files to my existing multiboot folder from this past January --replacing the old-- then onward w/ the voyage to Stockland..............ran Update Profile + Update PRL (prl remained unchanged, had updated a few weeks ago to current prl,) but it's great to see 3g4g arrows blinking + data................ SUCCESS! ...........however, am going to re-do the multiboot, as I had skipped a step, adding the two new files ONLY..........this hybrid version felt slower than the several times running it in the past............at any rate: once more, A BIG THNX to you Warren for this much improved already excellent tool!

*update* I re-DL'd the two tarballs once more, 7-zipped, then replaced zImage + initramfs inside Multiboot folder + ran the zip from CWM5: same load-time as before........slow yet more responsive this time --no skittering-- perhaps due to following step 6 from the CM blog a wee bit more carefully, LOL:

"WAIT. It will take a while to boot. Wait until Media Scanning is complete before doing anything."

Very important step, about 5-6 mins?...........very glad to see Update Profile functioning, 3G + 4G as well........SUCCESS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] koop1955:
Thank You

Ran this earlier today and immediately saw a noticeable improvement in speed.

The directions were very clear and easy to follow. I may be fortunate in that I was able to do the download, extraction and transfer to my SD card on a fast computer. I had read the directions (RTFM, words to live by) and it made sense that, since the OS was on the SD card, it was a good idea to let that be recognized before trying to do anything. Updated Profile and PRL, it actually went so fast I wasn't sure that it happened. But I immediately noticed better connectivity and speed.

Thanks again, Warren, for everything.

Boot FC09 from sdcard

Epic CM Team Blog: Boot FC09 from SDCard

Purpose

Settings > About Phone > System updates >

Update Profile.

Update PRL.

Settings > Display > Horizontal calibration

Do this if you have problems with auto rotate on CM9.

Sprint Activation.

Dial codes and diagnostic mode.

Test Samsung FC09 behavior to aid in CM development.

Changelog

FC09-based with working 3G, 4G, Update Profile, faster speed.

Uses 500MB on sdcard instead of 1GB.

Includes Connectbot and GPS Status.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
............nice work Warren!

Am fully aware perhaps not relevant to FC09 version......Just a note re the previous version: from a super clean install of CM9beta2 I was getting great battery life -average 14 hours w/ good use- then I ran Update Profile, power off, then reboot to CM9..........result? Although the new Temp-boot-to-EL30 was a vast improvement + success, my battery life was reduced to about half...........no worries, I'll be re-flashing Beta2 to see if this can return recent battery life........Will also be running Boot FC09 From SD Card as I feel that you have vastly improved an already indispensable tool, + want to have this on my sd card for future use ...........Thank you so much for this!

[Epic 4G Android Development] Bigjohn_S:
does this mean you guys are also working on making update PRL and such available INSIDE the CM9 roms?
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Thanks!

Worked exactly as needed...

Did all updates

recalibrated rotation and now i got my beloved auto-rotation working in my cm9 based rom...

<insert repeated thanks spam here>
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I have a question. When people say auto-rotation isn't working, are you meaning that it doesn't work period? Or that there's a ton of rotation lag? (if so, define "a ton" in terms of seconds) ...and if so, what type of rotation response time is "normal" and not broken?

Just curious.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
for my case, it would NEVER rotate, period... now it does...

AOKP: would not rotate before

CM9: would not rotate before

MIUI(cm9): would only rotate after 2 minutes...

now all rotate within .5 to 1 second...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Thanks Dark. Seems I've been one of the fortunate ones that has never had a problem.

I was out with the Boy Scouts doing their orienteering merit badge, whipped out "Smart Tools" on my Epic and it was somewhat accurate with the compass, I wonder if this would help calibrate the compass to be more precise.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
As a CM9/AOKP user, for my money it's the Update Profile that most interests me, gets run often, + for which I am most Thankful!........but the other features are important for us also. ;)

Anyone have a mirror for this? I've been trying to get a good download for 3-4 hours and it seems to hang around 15-20MB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennysvgp08:
Hey guys, I'm having some issues with this.

I am on AOKP build 31

Using the Nyan Colonel v4

And anytime I apply it, it says this:

Boot /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/zImage

Create mount symlink.

Remount partitions read-only.

(Re)mount /sdcard read-only

Unpack kexec.

Load zImage and initramfs.

Sync.

Reboot into zImage.

Install from sdcard complete.

But every time I boot it goes right back into my ROM.

What is it that I'm doing wrong here!?!?!?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I think you don't have the files in the right directory structure.

I'm guessing for this new one it should be:

/sdcard/multiboot/FC09/*files*
[Epic 4G Android Development] kennysvgp08:
Here is where it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
yeah, I think that 000flash directory is mucking it up
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
This^^ has to be /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/

[Epic 4G Android Development] VAnative21:
Does anyone know why the Auto-rotate CWM flash wouldn't work? What it does when I flash the file is it does the little words, etc... then it says it's done (remind you that everyone says this is supposed to be a long process, not quick like it is for mines). I boot up the phone and nothin has changed. Suggestions are welcome...

Thanks in advance!

SOLVED: Didn't put the multiboot folder in the root of the SD Card (put in my normal zip folder).
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
.................Appreciating this new 500MB (approx) tempBoot_FC09-from-SDcard............a great improvement from last week's update to EL30!.............first run was slow, as expected, + jumped the gun on Media Scan while completing as a question popped onto the screen regarding the Optimizer (clicked 'yes') as well as a text regarding the GalaxyNexus pre-order; so eventually got everything running + ran the Update Profile + Update PRL (no changes obtained as no new updates have been released :) since recent bouts w/ this ........yet!).........however, on my second time booting FC09-from-SDcard: all went smoother + way faster + media scan was a breeze as well................at any rate, the entire point of this exercise was to establish a good working version of this tool onto my SD Card for future use (deletd the last two versions).................again, jolly good CM Team!..........more standup good work by wtogami! THNX guys!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
Is it normal for it to get stuck on the initial Samsung boot screen? If so, for how long?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
your first boot: give it about 5-7 minutes, or more, allowing it to complete the media scan completely.....subsequent flashes it will boot much faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] birdturbo:
I'm on my first boot and for the last 20 minutes or so, it's just been at the basic Samsung screen. I'm on CM9 Beta 2, if that makes a difference. I wanted to do this before moving to beta 3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
That's too long... gonna have to reflash... probably redownload and reflash....
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
With Nyan Kernel... through TWRP? I haven't seen anyone explicitly confirm that this works with TWRP, but your experience seems to confirm it - if I am correct in assuming that you did not replace Nyan's built-in recovery ;)

I'm hoping that it is confirmation, because I've grown fond of TWRP...

UPDATE: My first attempt with TWRP seemed to flash without error, but the phone shut down instead of rebooting. I need to verify the integrity of my download and so forth before I can be certain whether it works or not - my experience could have a lot of causes. Has anyone else tried this in TWRP? Any confirmed successes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tmcwilliam01:
I've done it from twrp on multiple occasions and can confirm that it works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Thanks for confirmation! This is good news indeed
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
My download was fine (md5 verified), but two problems occurred - one, my phone's browser only retained the .tar extension, dropping the .xz at the end, and two, I have not yet found an app on the phone that can extract large, double-layer archives without somehow corrupting the data...

However, extracting the archive by mounting usb storage to my computer did the trick :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
"Unpack using*7-Zip (Windows) or*Keka

*(MacOS X) or any other xz capable archive software. Recent versions of Linux can unpack it with*"tar xfvJ filename.tar.xz". "

In fact, the instructions used to say(and I'm paraphrasing) "use teh pc'z not teh phoenz" lol

~E.R.A.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I think I had previously stumbled onto an archive app that could correctly handle tar.bz2, and since the last extension had been cut off, I incorrectly thought that bz2 was the missing extension. Long story short, I forgot :eek: I guess I am human, afterall :what: ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] naz4viper:
has anyone else had issues with this utility NOT rebooting into sdcard after the "flash" ?

Here's what I see:

-- Installing: /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/boot_FC09.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...

Boot /sdcard/multiboot/FC09/zImage

Create mount symlink.
Remount partitions read-only.
(Re)mount /sdcard read-only.
Unpack kexec
Load zImage and initramfs
Sync.
Reboot into zImage.

Install from sdcard complete.

then nothing happens. CWM just stays on this screen and does not reboot at all. I've waited a good 10 to 15 minutes and still nothing. My folder structure is as follows:

/mnt/sdcard/multiboot/FC09 and all the files are located here

any ideas on why CWM wont reboot into sdcard ? :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
How did you download and unpack the archive?

Look one or two pages (or just posts?) back from your post for some recent tips
[Epic 4G Android Development] naz4viper:
I downloaded the tar.xz on my win7 laptop. I ran the MD5 checksum versifier and checksum matched. Extracted the directory structure on my C: drive via 7zip. I connected my phone via usb cable and mounted usb storage. Then I clicked and dragged the "multiboot" folder from my C: drive to the root of my sdcard via windows explorer.

should i be downloading/unpacking/transferring in a different way ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
That sounds about right: you first created a folder on your C: drive + extracted your DL file inside the one folder, right? ..........NEXT, this is what I did (for what it's worth:) I left-clicked the original multiboot folder to hi-light it, then r-clicked 'copy' multiboot folder + then navigated to root folder inside sc card, THEN left-clicked inside blank space within root folder + scrolled dwn to r-click 'paste' to copy multiboot folder to root but NOT inside any other folder.............it's been my experience that sd card is ultra sensitive to cut/drag/paste when using win 7, but that's only my own personal experience.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No issues there - just checking because I had the same symptom and improper extraction was the cause. It isn't inherently bad to download using your phone, but it did cause me difficulty because the full file extension was not retained (I lost the .xz at the end, but was able to manually rename it to correct that problem). I wish I had more advice, but you already did everything I did to fix the problem on my end - the only difference is I'm using windows vista

Hmm.. Didnt realize my current rom affects functionality in cwm? I've been looking for motivation to "upgrade" so i'll do so and report back..
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
Has to do with the kernel. Newer versions of CM7/CM9 and (almost?) all MTD kernels include kexec support, which is what makes this utility tick.

Does anyone know if this can be used to change the PRL to one of the "unofficial" ones: i.e. 12123, 00002? I haven't done it for a while but I seem to remember the QPST program required mounting the USB. Am I going to have to Odin back to stock to do this? Thanks!

Is Diagnostic Mode (##8778#, USB set to Modem) working for everyone? It does not seem to work for me. The computer doesn't see it when it's on Modem. When USB is set to PDA, it connects.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Yes, this has worked for me in the past. It is likely a driver or cable issue if it doesn't work for you. If in doubt, flash back to pure FC09. You will see Diagnostic mode behaves identically there to this temporary stock ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Do you know if that setting for modem/uart is stored locally in the temp boot filesystem (and therefore not read by the installed rom), or if it is stored in one of the locations that are loaded with both roms (like the modem)?

I was able to use the temp boot for QPST, but my reason for asking is that, if that setting is part of the temp boot only, then perhaps the previous user is changing the setting, rebooting, then trying to connect from within an AOSP rom...

Of course, if he is not rebooting, then that cannot be the problem either way... but I'd still like to know how that part works :)
