there is no debate. google engineers have spoke up and explained batterstats.bin does nothing but keep track of your battery usage since last time you unplugged your device

So he managed to get another leak? I see FB15
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
I'm sure 5-10 people will, and Calkulin will probably just ignore them as he should, since he clearly stated he is unavailable today :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
Hey. As long as you recognize that you have it good and you take care of your stuff and work your butt off to make something of youself then it isn't being spoiled. Its being given advantages. Being spoiled is being giving any and everything and not appreciating it or giving a damn.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Yes, it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Are you using stock usb cable ?

also its taking too long do battery pull and retry

resart Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madhouze:
That's what she said!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
How was your battery before you flashed? If lower than 50% exit Odin and turn off phone to charge. Then get the auto restore/stock el29 from stickie. And restore with that

What exactly did you do to have that happen?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Damn..... these dudes jackin there phones up trying to flash back to a backup is making me a little nervous.

Is everyone going by the op? Or is ROM Manager the preferred way to go now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
I'm still hanging on the data.img..... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I'd like to know the steps as well. Guys I have flashed, reflashed, odind, back and fourth testing this thing about 20 times now. I'm curious if people primarily having this issue are flashing cwm through rom manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
Exit odin. Disconnect your phone and pull the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
Don't mean to hijack Shabby's thread, but after jerking around with FB09 this morning before restoring my current dd, I think I will just wait till Caulkin gets his version out. His stuff is always very polished and doesn't require workarounds, always ready to go out of the gate!

Not to subtract from Shabby's contributions to the community, his work is very important on its own! Thanks Shabby!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Alright, I'm staying away from rom manager. Barnacles, flashing back per the op is the way to go right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Did that already.

Can't get to the new EL29 as the link is dead.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Found EL29 on the one guys site who posted a few pages ago. trying that next.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NORCALkID:
i think this have been a community project most of all... caulk was called upon by alot of peeps and im sure all devs will get this super polished... keep up the great work peeps :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:


If that link doesn't work or you cant get it otherwise I'll link the one on my computer as soon as I get home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
So I went into Sprint today, they are replacing my phone(I have a good relationship with them). It was hard bricked. I tried a couple different things to jump the power on the ciruit board, but nothing comes on except the blue light. I tried the jig, I tried a couple different power combinations on a stripped usb, I tried bridging the power on the ciruit board, I tried different key combinations while inserting the battery.....nothing.

Just so everyone knows, I went it to the touch recovery that I flashed from the external sd card. I cleared the cache, and was trying to go back to the main menu. The phone wouldnt go back to the main menu, so I pulled the battery and reinserted it. I pressed the power button and the only thing that came on was the blue light. I plugged it in and all I got was the blue light. I switched batteries, blue light.....Beware of the touch recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
There ...is...no....debate.......thanks!! You do what you do ok, no drama here.....I asked if anyone else had noticed that their device didn't register a 100% charge.....thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
so guys I hate to be the noob of the thread and usually in the one helping others. but I am having a problem. I have downloaded the second version.. I know how to run the chmod command from command prompt. but when I do it says something about a port now open and then tells me device not found. does something need to be enabled? the command I ran was adb shell chmod 06755 /system/bin/su does super user need to be in the and folder I am using the prompt from?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
That's odd. That zip shouldn't touch anything that would cause that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
Thanks for the warning I used touch earlier just to see if it would work and I'm glad I didn't try to use anything... I think Koush will have to make it ICS ready for our phone or something because it seems to be turning our phones into $500 paper weights
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
So...what's this rumor going around that Calk got ahold of the kernel and modem from FB15 which supposedly fixes LOS? Anyone know?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Go back a couple pages...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
You do realize this is an early engineering test build, right?

You do realize that some bugs present are just that, bugs in the source of the ROM that Samsung hasn't completed. It is just a leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Damn...I leave this thread for 10 minutes and this is what happens.

Hmmm...maybe I should leave this thread for a while and see what else happens. hahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EmperorX:
Do it! Lol, I just pmd sbrissen... Hopefully Calk hasn't already left for that birthday party :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Still hanging. Do i need to do some reparation or formats at all? I'm taking this slow and steady to prevent me doing something stupid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
I'm pretty sure sbrissen had the leak before we even knew calk had it :p

The revs are probably sharing but keeping things hush hush
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antgly:
Does anyone know how to fix the Facebook white text bug?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] farmerwill:
so can anyone confirm which method of CWM recovery is bricking phones or what not? I saw the one guys post on how he used the touch method.... but I'm kind of afraid to use either method unless I can confirm which is breaking phones lol. Worst case scenario I have best buys warranty on my cell though :) thanks in advance.

KEEP CALM and CHIVE ON
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jklong03:
No, I totally understand what limited resources these wonderful Devs have to work with! I hope everyone understands what a magic act Shabby and others are pulling off with getting anything out to us that even boots!

I hope no one thinks I was downplaying what has been done up to this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digitalcrash:
So just so every one else knows I used the touch recovery and cleared cache and then it stayed on one menu the back button wouldn't work so I press the power button and it then went back to the previous menu.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
I was using the link shabby posted from clockworkmod.com when my phone quit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] K Ron Hubbard:
And about the cwm mod method, The way it worked for me has been to go to the market and download rom manager app by kush. then in the app i selected the first option which is "Flash CWM Recovery". When the prompt came up for me to pick my phone i selected "SGSII" NOT "E4GT". then I went into my file explorer to move my backup nan that i made for my daily from my external sd to my internal sd in the CWM file folder for back ups. then i went back to the rom manager app and selected "reboot into recovery" to boot into recovery mode to manually manage. that took me into a regular version of CWM recovery, I then scrolled down to backups and restore with volume buttons and selected it with my pwr button. Then i chose to restore from internal, and then chose the backup nan that i moved there with my file explorer. after that installed i just rebooted systems and viola! this worked for me many times. I can't confirm for anyone else or for any other way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
thanks for the info shiftr btw I liked the rom you put together it was a nice change of pace. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arehm:
Anyone have more ideas on how to deal with the stuck at data.img on Odin. 2 USB cables, 2 stock roms, same thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
try restarting computer first then reinstall the drivers. thats how I fixed mine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Perhaps you have a bad download/backup... Try to download the rom again reformat the data image and flash the rom again.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
I went ahead and while it was stuck at the samsung logo went into cwm.....went to go wipe data and now its sitting at the Formatting data.....

after about a minute it now just completed wipe.

Instead of restoring a backup would i be better off trying to just flash a rom?

Just tried to flash Blend and it sat at formatting system for a few minutes and now says error in /emmc/download/BLEND

(status 1)

Installation aborted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
Just came back from the latest Alpha of another ROM ;) ;)

It's coming along very nicely. I used the ROM Manager method, as stated by others and in the OP, flashed CWM, rebooted to it and made a backup. Wiped my ****, flashed the other ROM, checked it out. That ROM didn't have CWM either, so I did the same method when I was done testing and reverted back to FB09 from my backup like it didn't skip a beat.

Very glad I didn't try out the Touch Recovery. Only reason I didn't is because I heard it was doing funny **** a couple weeks ago on the E4GT. Gonna ax that from the OP in case it is the cause of people bricking their phones.

Thanks for the tip. I am aware of the potential pit falls of rom manager and I don't normally use it because of them. I used this specific method on this specific rom to restore my nandroids on this specific phone. again, thank you for the words of wisdom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caspersfi:
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried to restore a backup per the op. It booted up then got stuck on the samsung logo. I then hit volume up and power and got into cwm...it is now rogue not touch. then i went to wipe data and it sat at formatting data for about a minute thrn went thru. so i then wiped cache and dalvik. Then went to go flash Blend and got a status 1 error message installation aborted.

So then I went to go wipe data again and it has been sitting at formatting data for a couple minutes.

Could anyone please help?

Well I just odined back to stock and it still won't boot past the samsung screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmoch2:
I'm new to samsung with the recovery being part of the kernel so my only thought would be some sort of factory image. I would try to do a search for "return to stock" rom. I would also try one of the modified wipe zips that are out there. Good luck!

Let us know when you figure it out, you can't be the only one that this happens to.

To everyone else, patience. I for one have been flashing custom ROMs for a couple years now and I have learned one simple rule... wait. Give it a day to give the devs a chance to work out these types of bugs. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Was the Odin back to stock the full version or the one that doesn't touch data? Hanging at the Samsung screen has always (since OG Epic days) meant you need to Odin a kernel but that should have been in the stock restore. If the process said "pass" in Odin, I would try flashing a kernel tar in Odin and see if that fixes you up.

after going back to full stock, in ODIN, im using the Full El29 file. Its getting hung at the data.img

ive redownloaded the file and its still getting hung up there... anything else i can try?

im now attempting to Odin the "no data" file. It went through and shows pass... However, my phone booted directly into Android System Recovery <3e>

its a bunch of red saying E: failed to mount /data (unknown error: 0)

Am i ok to just pull battery being stuck here in odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dadoc04:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Hmm, maybe try a different USB port...if you're on a desktop, use one in the back, not the front. Odin requires a lot of power.

How long is it hanging at data.img? My flashes usually take 4-5 min
