And I knew when I started sharing the target I was putting on. The train didn't necessarily wreck as much as the engineer just chose not to steer any longer and let it go off the tracks. Its a risk you take when you decide to say what someone else told you, someone who btw has never steered me wrong before, but like I said sometimes you just gotta understand that things change and so do reasons for passing info in the first place. Take it easy fellas see you on the dark side of the moon!

Sent from the only ROM Epic enough to run on my Epic 4G Touch... The Blu Kuban 1.0.3.6!!! Congrats to RUJELUS22 and Mark J. Linskiy, newest members of Team Venum!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Agreed. A learning experience for all.

We'll all get there, eventually.

(Now on to the bagpipes calling...!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Bupkis! Outstanding! You, sir, have a fine Saturday!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
This is not fixed on FF02.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Sometimes people double talk themselves out of credibility.

I have information on why FE26 wasn't released, but until I confirm my info, I'm not going public with it.

There is a saying in my line of work. Trust but verify. I think that applies quite appropriately here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I just want to through my opinion on the last few pages of post.

I am pretty happy with the latest leak. I am currently running my own themed version of Wicked Sensation on the FF02 build. First off, my battery lifr is far better now since it has settled in over any leak to this point. I have zero bugs. I don't use exchange servers so I can't comment on it.

On the other note. We are damn lucky the way this all came together over the last few months. We had great insiders like Sextape, thirdcoast, Calkulin, my pal who hooked it when it slowed down in here, and another anonomous person was more helpful than you guys would ever know.

The devs were on the ball supplying us with almost instantaneous fresh rom, tars, and kernals.

Not all the time was information correct but it was.always informative. Thirdcoast was misinterpreted about the source thing. I was wrong when I was told that our final was done then they decided to go do 4.0.4. So, it doesnt mean we were ignorant. It just meant stuff changed.

Anyways, it has been a blast. So, anyone have a clue when we will see the source now?

In the mean time I am trying to put together my fire and ice(firefighter and those who wish they were...aka cops) phone theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
I appreciate what TCR has relayed, even though some of it has turned out to be false. What reason would he have to intentionally lead us astray? He's relaying what he was told - he has no direct control over it. He can't affect when source drops, or when Sprint releases OTA. He can tell us what he's heard, and I thank him for that.

Heck, I had a software project at my job delay a week recently because of an unforeseen dependency one day before release. Stuff happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ArgyleDX:
I don't think you understand how your phone

works. No, flashing the FF02 kernel and modem on top of an FE10 based ROM does not mean you are on FF02. Many of the changes made are not necessarily in the kernel itself, but may be in frameworks or preinstalled apps that are part of the full ROM.

This is also not how it generally works. While it is true that there will be individual developers or groups tasked with fixing particular bugs, in the end the code is checked into a central depot or repository and the builds are generated from there. Sure, each developer has a local build while they are working on stuff, but that wouldn't be an official, dated build that is going to get sent to Sprint (which is where we are seeing the rdfs). Additionally it's not useful to test the fixes in isolation, they need to be tested together because it's possible that multiple changes might interact together to cause a new bug that needs to be fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Not saying that he has or would, by any means.

Sometimes text doesn't convey tone and meaning and I seriously think he came into the line of fire.

Having the lil lady, who actually works for sprint, I've kept my mouth shut and will continue to do so.

Fact is, its economics, plain and simple. (Ya go with the dog that won't bite as hard)

Unless any source isn't coming from the accounting side of the house, we are all riding this wave where ever it may lead.

Personally, I come to xda for the devs, Team Venum not withstanding.;)

I kid of course! But seriously, we ALL need to take a step back and relax.

(This isn't directed towards you, just felt the need to respond. I blame the beer. :p)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Been trolling your threads KC. Know a few smoke chasers that would like that theme.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I've been asking myself that same question.

Besides what he posted concurring with others information, what, if any, of his information posted in this thread has been accurate? Don't get me wrong, I hold no ill will against TCR. I'm completely indifferent at this point. I'm not trying to throw the guy under a bus. I'm trying to filter the good info from the bad.

OneClick error resolved: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.

Just thought I'd post this as I did not find much when I encountered the issue.

I used the OneClick method to upgrade from stock rooted EL29 to stock rooted FF02. I wiped everything while in EL29 (GB of course) before going through OneClick.

I started the OneClick process (Sfhub's method) and all was good until I got to data.img. THere it just hung. After about 30 minutes, I killed it and rebooted. When rebooting into any option (vol up, vol down, normal reboot) I got the following error on the phone:

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I expected an error, but I also expected to be able to go into recovery mode and possibly download mode. So I panicked a bit, then looked for solutions. Wasn't finding any...lots of mentions of JTAG...which I was hoping to avoid. I realized, however, that maybe it was in download mode while showing this message. Sure enough, it was.

So I simply retried FF02 OneClick and it worked. All is good. I'm now on ICS.:)

btw -- I truly appreciate everyone's content in this and related forums. I find the Epic/GSII to be much more complicated than my Evo 4g, where it was easy to use CWM and ROM Manager to try new ROMs. Good to have you guys here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Yeah I hate this phones system compared to other devices.. I'm look forward to a sgs3 maybe if I get lte out here in L.A soon... main reason because samsung apparently now doesnt use zimages... they use the normal boot.img and recovery partitions unlike before were the recovery had to be repacked on the kernel.

Well I have info on if FF02 is the final build but I'm not going public with it until I confirm.*

* Of course my confirmation will be when Sprint releases the OTA or another RDF goes up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] etirkca:
LOL. This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Not to be rude, but if you're waiting for OTA or a RDF your info is useless. Everyone else will know your "inside" info at the same time as you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
It was a joke.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
He was just saying that want comes out, comes out. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Ok! Ok! This is the information I received. I've gotten permission from the author to share the info. Keep in mind that this is only partially verified information, so take it as you will, but if its accurate, it explains a lot.

In context, this is on the subject of leaks and whether or not they were officially sanctioned for those at XDA to test:

"They were not authorized...management in Korea is very upset by them. That is why there is no FE26 leak, they stopped updating the test phones after 22 and got an entire new group of testers for FF02."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Summary: They have a new team of developers? :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I can confirm what he said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
They HAD a new team of TESTERS after FE22 because the first team sprung a leak. Falls in line with what we're seeing/know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Holy caca, you've gone from provocative to evocative. Are we to believe the big guns (aka the new techs), fixed whatever the powers-that-be were upset about in just one leak? Sounds like this has opened a new can of...leaks?

Now it's getting really interesting. Hope nobody's getting blue balls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Thankfully not something I have to worry about ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PortlandAmir:

enjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Wait...I'm confused...(I use big words but my brain, itsa really small): The first group had too many leaks, but the new guys leaked their first build thereafter? Sounds like DC occupants.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
That's not what it says at all! They put a new team of TESTERS on the build because the leaks were coming from them. That's why there was no FE26.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
Ha, maybe you should have wrote it in hieroglyphics the first time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
That depends on where Sextape got his leak from. May not have been from a tester. I honestly don't want to know. You betray a source and it dries up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Well then...who leaked the the next build after FE26 if not the new testers? Please, bear with me...I'm a bit slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Why do you want to know who is leaking builds?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SuperSwagSauce:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
See post above yours. I don't know, and don't want to know.

I got permission from my source to say. It was Adele.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
LOL whats up with the bike and what model you have? I sold mine FEB 2011 to get this mustang I am upgrading. Rode for 8years on the busa daily driver ;]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
For what its worth I am on unrooted ff02 and nit having any problems with roaming. On vaca and terrible sprint service but roaming picked up eventually and is giving me data and voice. No recurring notifications.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Who's on first.

Allow me to clarify. Tray said the first group of testers (aka Adele) was fired for being loose lipped if you will, so Sammy brings in a new group after FE26, and what happens? BAM, the next build is leaked. I assume it was among the new group of testers, but I don't care, I still think it's a hoot.

And we're all wringing our hands hypothesizing over things we don't know or can't see.

EDIT: I'm now allowed to tell you who it was in the new group. Elvis.

Sorry folks, but I think the anticipation is making many of us punchy, yes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
FF02 Final Release

I'm not sure if this was mentioned previously, but I was told by my sprint service rep that FF02 is the final ICS build, curious to see if this is true or not, just thought I would share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Okay so the possibility of new leaks are plausible?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
^^^ This is what I'm talking about lol

I think Sprint likes f*cking with us. They watch the thread, see us all getting into a dither about whether or not FF02 is the final before OTA and them BAM new rdf but new leak, who's to say? Round and round and round she goes, where it stops nobody knows.

Btw these rdf things really do read better in IE, which I hate to admit. Now if only I knew wtf they were actually saying and what's different from what we already have.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
I'll PM you with details.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
And hear I was thinking that development from Samsung had stopped. Where did I hear that from...?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I always had hope that the FF02 wasn't the last leak! ;D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Lmfao!! Are all those versions in the OP all ics leaks? That's insane if true! I mean I'm here from the evo 3d and they still don't have one!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
There is no way FF02 could be the final build with the 4G reboot issue..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
FF09?! I guess the whole FF02 updating software was just to test if it would work -.-
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
It just might have been someone reading to much into it. The testers have to have a way to upgrade their device too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Specialksg1:
Pretty sure we've been through this. Most, if not all, builds get an update package made. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
love it, FF09 released right after I state that FF02 is final.........:confused:

I guess they had to get back to work FF02 was crap. Hopefully this is it and Sammy and Sprint just get this out once and for all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
FF02 didn't say much well see what FF09 says
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
My best guess is we won't see ICS until after the launch of the GSIII.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
I think that is a bit off don't you think. From my experience of using the FF02 build, there aren't as many bugs as you might think there are.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Go to the head of the class! Good for you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] starnostar:
It doesn't matter...sprint will make more money if they hold off regardless as to whether the current build is RC-quality

1) impatient people who would rather spend a boatload of money than wait for something, and gives the hardcore nerds another reason to justify upgrading

2) when the SGSIII is released and a customer comes into a sprint store, they can say..."oh, the Epic 4G Touch is nice, but this phone over here has the latest and greatest version of android"

My personal opinion...we wont see an official OTA for at least another month
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cob11341:
Doesn't mean we can have the leaked build quite early :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Personally, I don't really care anymore when ota/source comes. CM9 works pretty flawlessly.

The only thing I was waiting on was Chrome. And now that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I knew and commented about FF02 not being OTA material. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Still many of you can't grasp the concept that this is far from being ready for ota. Plenty of notable bugs. What's funnier is people actually thought we were getting an ota back when the builds were on 4.0.3 as if they were going to make us the only Android phone using that version. What a hoot. They started the builds with 4.0.3 as they were waiting for google to release source and within 1 week of release the leaks went to 4.0.4. Some old bugs came back along with new ones. Be patient you don't want this rushed as it's more than likely the last build Samsung or Sprint will ever pay for on this phone. Rest of inventory will go as parts for the s3 that is basically the s2 with lte and Samsung software enhancements. I will visit many of you on the s3 boards when I get the new Nexus by this Christmas and I'll ask how your jelly bean leaks are coming lol ;)

PS the devs are awesome, but the crappier the source the more time they have to allocate to fixing rather than enhancing or innovating. So unless you are a dev stop begging Sprint just to ota crap that is not complete just to get source. Careful what you wish for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
rdf's are surfacing every 7 days from development, expect a possible FF16 and OTA by the end of the month. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
After all this time it seems like the final will be FF31....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I'm all for putting an end to the speculating. Although at times it can be fun it does seem to be making some people a little bit cranky (and others a LOT bit cranky). I'm enjoying my phone with the ROM I'm using and though I know it will only be better whenever source does drop, for the moment it really is good enough.

This whole scenario reminds me of car trips when I was a kid and truly it made the trip longer the more we wondered "how much longer?". It's like my Dad used to say when queried with "when will we be there?"; "we'll be there when we get there". It was hard to argue with that kind of logic.

So whether the OTA hits this week or in the week(s) following the release of the GS3, the simple fact remains, we'll be there when we get there.
