I have a feeling the samsung devs for our phone are busy checking out jelly bean and figuring out whether to give us it or not.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
This may be a shot in the dark but do any of you remember which release it was where Samsung upgraded the bootloader?

It used to be a USB Jig would take you to "Download Mode" and reset your Odin count and clear the Yellow Triangle. Now if you use a USB Jig (on one of the leaks, not sfhub's one-clicks or any other ROM just straight from the leak) it takes you to "Factory Mode". It's the same as "Download Mode" but doesn't allow your Odin count to reset or Yellow Triangle to be cleared.

Anyone got any idea?

My apologies. I'll try to behave, but is it not better that it happen here when we haven't had any news for 19 days than we inadvertently pollute another thread with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TrayLunch:
Yeah, no. I'm GUESSING (I don't want it mistaken as known fact) that our phone doesn't have a dev team assigned to it right now. They'll see how ICS is received, assign a team to iron out bugs for a patch update. Then after that, I dunno, but I'm guessing they'll need to finish one project before starting another.

Well fluff, woke up this morning full of anticipation after leaving my phone on stock GB all night. Pffttt Sprint didn't do it's thing but I'm so proud of you guys for getting us 3 pages closer to the mark. hehe

lol Tray and RP I'm sorry I missed all the festivities, there were too many posts for me to comment on without getting us all stuck in detention but it was enjoyable reading, thank you both for the grins. :)

Here's an idea. I don't want to hijack this thread, just it's avid participants. How about I create a thread for us to goof off in in the off topic area? We can do our usual clowning there and still talk about relevant topics when it's time to get down to business. Maybe even help some people out that are in a jam along the way. What do you guys think? This will be after we reach the designated source page, of course.

EDIT: It will be mine and Eso's love child, and we'll name it after the great philosopher Dennis Leary. It will be called McLeary's Pub.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does Odin count only matter if you're taking your phone into Sprint for service?

Or is there a magic number you reach at which point your phone self destructs, and if so, does it give you that cool Mission Impossible voice recording before it goes?

I have a jig, keep Triangle Away on hand at all time and never take my phone into Sprint anyway so I wasn't sure if it all mattered? Although I do hate that bloody triangle with a passion.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Unfortunately the new bootloader blocks that too. Fortunately the only way you change your bootloader is by flashing a stock ROM that has the new one and none of us have an "official stock" ICS build yet. The unofficial stock ROMs were all doctored up to avoid the issue. So the bootloader issue is pretty much null.

Unless you're working on a bunch of one-click ROMs and need to flash the bootloader with them... Which fyi there will be some coming out soon! :D

Oh and I think FB21 was the last one with the old bootloader. I got what I needed from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Don't know never really been concerned with that, it seems rwilco12 knows a lot more than I do. I just hate that triangle and i9100 screen

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Are you sure about all that? I have cleared using Triangle Away since MUCH later builds. Chainfire has updated several times a couple of them to counter Samsung's changes. The initial GS3 release is supported, international anyways. One or more phones, i think the Note is one of them he said they tried to change it up on him but this time and possibly only this time he was able to defeat that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6jgbdp8ew3d7728

If you have the new bootloaders that make the usb jig useless etc, you can revert back to the old bootloader by putting this tar (EG31 bootloader) at the pda slot without messing with your current rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Lol sorry. I'll try to explain a little better but will probably butcher it...

Basically the bootloader is the partition where the OS begins to load. When you turn on your phone it goes through several phases of startup. It's like the ABC's. A=turn on the phone, B=read the bootloader, c=I dunno... lol

The bootloader is what tells the kernel and the other partitions how and when to start up. It is also where your Yellow Triangle trigger, your Odin count and Download mode are stored.

With the GB releases we had a version of the bootloader (I believe it was 2.3.4). When using a USB Jig you essentially "shorted" the bootloader and a side-effect of that was clearing the Yellow Triangle trigger and the Odin count.

During the early ICS releases we still had this old bootloader. So no matter what we flashed through Odin we could reset everything so the bootloader would think our phone was running stock.

Then came the release where they upgraded the bootloader (I could be wrong on both of the version numbers but I think it was 2.3.5). The new bootloader still would allow a USB Jig to force the phone into Download mode but somehow corrected the "short" so that the Triangle and Odin count remained untouched. It also changed the name of Download mode to Factory mode.

So really there is no problem with either one. They both allow you into download mode so that you can restore your phone when it is seriously borked. But you can never erase the record that you were non-stock on the new bootloader. Sfhub had originally discovered it and when he released each of his one-click methods he replaced the new bootloader with the new.

Since the only time you change a bootloader is by updating with Odin or an official update most people would never even notice this was an issue. With the current project I'm working on we are trying to eliminate the need for to flash in Recovery and make it so you can do it all with a dumbed down version of Odin and greatly reduce the chance of a newbie bricking their phone. But now it's a non-issue anyways, I found the old bootloader files and have successfully flashed them through the one-click tool I'm working on. :D

Hoping to have a product for you guys soon!

PS - Sorry this was way longer and more confusing than I intended...

EDIT: Real reason I made it long? Trying to get Eso and everyone closer to the 1000 page mark! jk!

EDIT #2: Just a heads up this is all according to my limited understanding, if I got something wrong please let me know! :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Exactly what I sort of ended up doing! :D

I just pulled mine from the FB21 leaked TAR.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I'll have to check the app again but my preference is to give people the ability to do the jig or the app. I figure the older bootloader is the easiest way to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Yeah the bootloader changed for the Jig on EL13. I do not know if their are further changes in the ICS leaks in relation to the jig.

If for any reason I want to clear my flash odin counter and remove triangle I just flash EK02 boot then power off and use the jig to clear the counter and the triangle then OTA update to EL29.

Also the jig still works for me on some leaks and some custom ROMS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
way I see it is the only way I'm going into sprint for anything is if I have just a blue light and cant access recovery/Odin... thus I see the triangle as a badge of honor and the flash counter as a challange to better my high score...

Ok so I have been doing some research on the Blue Kuban Rome and was thinking of flashing to it. Just want another opinion if I should just wait or go for it? I am using sfhubs ff18 one click. Any opinions is much appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kali323:
All of Sfhub's one click have the old bootloader so no need go to ek02. Or you can flash eg31 bootloader that I posted on the previous page on any rom and the usb jig will clear your flash count

Since getting comfortable flashing custom ROMs several months ago, I've gone through my share because there is some amazing work out there but once Blu Kuban dropped I flashed it and have used it steadily since. It really is a great ROM that offers a lot of customization choices and has great Dev support.

If you follow the instructions and flash it over a fresh wipe (use the format x2 file in the OP), you should experience a nice, smooth transition. Also, he's about to drop another update with even more goodies in it.

Team Venum is good, but I'm a Team Nocturnal fan myself. Luckily, there's no rivalry, LOL!

I would say that any ROM that has team support is generally a descent ROM because it has to live up to that teams standards. Bad ROMs give teams a bad rep, and none of them want that.

BTW, unlike the poster I quoted, I have no team affiliation, so my opinion is unbiased :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Team Nocturnal is right up there with seriously awesome work.

Took my 14yo step daughter to Warped Tour because she's in love with Ronnie whats-his-face. I remember when they had good music there, not a bunch of bands that sound like AFI and Blink182, but I guess I'm getting too old for that kinda stuff. As someone else said, it won't matter what you flash to tonight, you're assured sub par battery tomorrow. Wait til you get back. Try Calkulin's E4GT ROM 3.0 if you wanna stay with GB, or any FF18 and install kobridge tweaks. I'd suggest installing the aggressive over moderate for a good balance of battery and performance. There are two others, but they are more for performance and won't save you battery. If FF18 is what you're really after, Blu Kuban and Mijjahz Goodness ICS 4.0.4 Blend are both really nice. Blend has become my daily over the Kuban.

Depending on the kernel you have with the stock rom it would be best to use an app to down clock cpu to 800 and use conservative governor. Screen all the way down, auto sync off, and maybe even turn off data until you need it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluv4eva:
Oops I quoted the wrong message. My question about the S3 was for Estorica68. I'm up too early, sorry :-(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
In all fairness I haven't messed around with the S3 enough to give it a fair review, but firsthand impression is very favorable. I'm in a no WiMax, no LTE area but my 3G signal is much better than on my E4GT likely due to better antennae/radio.

I thought the phone would be very large and feel uncomfortable in my small hands but it's really comfortable and easy to use. I've rooted it and flashed a ROM & theme so that it runs even smoother but that's about the extent of my customizing. So far I've just used it as a phone. lol

Like I've said in other posts the jury is still out. I'm a very big fan of the E4GT and consider it the best phone I've ever owned. The development on this device is outstanding and I know source is only going to make that 10 times better. So I'm keeping my E4GT and may swap out between the two from time to time. My E4GT is also my *insurance* plan so it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. :)

My honest advice, go check the phone out because that is the best way to get a real feel for how much you'll like it (or not).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluv4eva:
Thanks! I love my E4GT but plan on checking out the S3. My battery life on my E4GT has been horrible on EL29 and FF18 but I still love the phone and I'm hoping source comes soon.
