Everything seemed fine for a few hrs. I picked up my phone and it was a little warm and the screen wouldn't turn on. Pulled the battery and it was at 14%. I didn't think it was that low but I have been playing with the phone a lot. Might have been a LOS though.

Thanks everyone that made this happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ks2332:
Everything installed fine everything works great except picking a lock screen wallpaper:( and when I try to flash modem through Odin it's sits writing please wait about 2 and then never finishes any help I've already downloaded the modem updated kies and reinstalled Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xCovErtWolFx757:
How do you flash nova Launcher? With the Odin FB17. And also when I received a text if don't get sound. Any fix?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
I searched the thread and didn't find anything about voicemail problems but everytime I get a voicemail I lose my app drawer. anybody else with this issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
Yep it was a LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yeah, this isn't a modem problem though. It happened on el29 modem. The signal us terrible and los is back
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigJPNut:
Try toggling sound off and then back on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ilostmypistons:
Clear data in VM app and you should be ok. My VM was giving me problems to and now its fine since clearing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrnygiants:
Ok guys, this works. try it if you want. I/we can now us ClockworkMod Recovery after you flash FB17. What I did, was install Rom Manager, then choose Flash ClockworkMod recovery, make sure you chose Samsung GalaxyS2, (i tried Epic4g at first, and it didnt work), after you install it, hit Reboot into Recovery, and Bam, Works like a champ!

BEFORE anyone does this - please verify that you're able to flash things, backup your ROM, etc. Just because it boots doth not a good option make. ROM Manager is notoriously BAD when it comes to these devices - especially lately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
You don't flash nova, it's an apk. And for the sound try toggling the sound in the taskbar.

It burns when I tapatalk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MagPez77:
I tried that earlier but didn't work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Okay, I'm flashing back to EL29. Los, GPS, messaging bugs have his hindering it from being a daily driver
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rob4828:
I think this is the method that bricked or caused problems for some people. Did rom manager install touch cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Go Gators1:
I just flashed back too. Can't wait for the final build though!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
Sucks for you, I havent had any LoS, GPS or messaging bugs ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevalB:
After using it for the better part of the day, it's close, so close, to being a daily driver. The email issue not syncing contacts and calendar is manageable, but the lag when typing and all around "slowness" can get annoying. I'll give it a day to see if LoS exists or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jlrodz87:
Is any one having issues with sms ringtones... Mines dont work it doesnt matter what ringtone i use it will not notify me ... Everything else runs smooth ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
A reboot should fix the sound but not sure what is causing it. I guess it's a bug. It happened to me with stock and handcent. I notice the pink led light with Handcent. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Yes you have.try sending a message that takes 2 or more. Then go to landscape mode with the keyboard open and try to send a message.

Then use google maps, then Facebook, then back to maps. my GPS works great until it locks up.

Then go look at your signal. its worse right? then go set your phone down then check on it in an hour and check your battery. Bet there are done blank spots. You can also check your time without signal.

You aren't special
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xCovErtWolFx757:
Sorry jerdog. Thought you had to flash it and we can't flash anything yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nooomoto:
Flashed this on my girlfriends phone, everything is working 100% so far. Sounds, contacts synced, camera, mms, data, wifi, etc.

EDIT: Phone just went into "Kernel Panic Upload Mode"..I let it finish, pulled the battery and rebooted, seems to be working fine now. Anyone know whats up with this? She was updating the Swiftkey keyboard language packs when it happened, I did some quick searching and came across info which led me to believe Swiftkey is not wet compatible with ICS so I had her uninstall it. Anyone think this might have been the cause?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
I strongly discourage anyone from using rom manager to flash a recovery. But to each their own
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xCovErtWolFx757:
SwiftKey X does work. Been using it all day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] weltwon:
Kernel Panic Upload Mode

I encountered it too but can't recall exactly what triggered it other than it happened wwhile i was installing apps from market. Not sure if it's related but shortly thereafter market starting freezing/crashing on me.

I still can't find a fix to my notification sounds not working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nooomoto:
Yeah around Google results no one can give a definite answer pertaining to what exactly it means or what triggers it. I've been around since the G1 and its certainly new to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
so how many are using fb15?

i figured i would flash it since fb17 was acting a little flakey... so far so good and now i have matching kernel/rom/modem. seems like every post i see is for fb17.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1indsided:
i dont want to be on this rom anymore how am i supposed to get off of it!???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Odin a gb Rom. Or odin a gb kernel and restore a nandroid
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
its in the op of one of these threads. you odin back a kernel then from there you can restore a backup. on the future I would not venture into something without knowing your way back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] b1indsided:
can sum1 post a link to an odin file thats a gb rom...cant find one..and also do i have to download a new/dif odin or can i use the same odin i used to flash this rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] epdp14:
I don't think that there is an FB17 modem out yet. You probably have FB17 kernel and rom with the FB15 modem.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamsavedme30:
Anyone flash the modem with another rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Signal bars work, the problem is that it's only using a scale of 4 bars instead of the 6 the GB ROM has, so if your in the lower scale, it will show as no bars. Once I'm able to smali the apks(apktool is not working properly on 4.0.3 apks yet), that can be changed quite easily since the png files are already there
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Awesome! Thank you Calk! Keep up the outstanding work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
huh? i'm running fb15 not 17. to be honest i think fb15 is a little more stable. i'm just surprised that everyone is so quick to jump on 17 without testing 15.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dutchman71:
Turn your sound off and then back on. That should fix it. Worked for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
I flashed last night and used Mobile Odin to restore the Kernal repack put together by Steady Hawkin and so far so good. GPS didn't work last night but I'm sure it'll be fixed in future releases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
GPS works for me. With one minor (gigantic) titch... GPSd is sucking the pure lifeforce out of my battery. With it on in the background it was going through 75% of the battery and 55% of the cpu. So, yeah, I can get lock. If I want my phone to work for 15 mins before I need to charge.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nooomoto:
Experienced "Kernel Panic Upload Mode" again, this time during a phone call. Same as before let it finish doing whatever it was doing, pulled battery and rebooted. Phone seems to be normal now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
I wish it was that simple. There's a bug that turns sounds off. I thought a reboot fixed it for a bit but that's not working now. Trust me I've messed with the settings.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smccall:
There is a fb 17auto root with clwmod that just came out

That should solve your problem or you could get mobile Odin and Odin the stock rooted fb 17 rom right from your phone I use it works perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SantinoInc:
Thanks a million for the uploads Calkulin but can you give us a little description of what exactly the differences are between the two? Maybe known issues as well so people can determine whether they want to mess with this or not. Not trying to sound like a whiny lil beaaaatch...just a suggestion.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwesomeTurtle:
You mean February 17 is newer than February 15?

That's bull! I wanna speak to your manager!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I have brain farts all the time, but I thought I remember seeing a fb modem sometimes had Los. I will have to wait and see. I didn't speed test anything before to compare. I've noticed that speed test is sometimes useless because you can get a fast or slow result out of the blue for no reason. That might make for bogus speeds. For example, I could be getting crap readings back to back then all of a sudden I get some fast runs and then back to bad. If you were the only one on the tower then maybe the results would be better but that's impossible.

The thing that a few recent modems have been doing lately is falling back to 1x and not going back up to 3g after I get better signal or switch to a different tower. Just last night I was standing at a big window in the hallway of the 30th floor downtown. As soon as I woke up the phone it dropped down to 1x and wouldn't come back up even though I was getting about 80% signal. I got pissed because I was going to dl something but the phone was being a *****. I switched on 4g and it connected with about 66% signal. This damn phone can be temperamental at times!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
The only main difference that I saw was that GPS worked for me on FB17 so far

Shortly yes but only for FB17 as that is what I'm using to build my ROM off and I put the EG31 Sbl tar that will change the bootloader back to allow reset jigs to work in the OP

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Go Gators1:
Yes you can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
it shouldnt be a problem, but remeber you must odin back to whatever bc there is no recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffix31:
yeah shouldnt be a problem as far as i know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Did you extract the tar from the 7z file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Go Gators1:
Caulk posted the Modem.zip so she can flash the modem only and not lose root or recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
No I am special and just renamed it. It flashed fine when I actually extracted it

I'm setup pretty good on FB09 right now. Found workarounds for nearly everything and I want my root access :p (have a tablet with no root and I HATE IT).

Alright now do I have to be rooted to Odin flash the FB17. (just need to know what I have to do first, new phone,)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nibrwr:
Nope. Just boot to Download Mode, connect cable, flash .tar file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Go ahead, that would help the ones that need it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lafester:
honestly right now odin is much safer then recovery flashing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
No. Just download the 7zip leak and extract it somewhere on your PC.

Then make sure you have samsung drivers/keys installed and download odin.

Once odin is downloaded start it up load that extracted tar from the 7zip which you downloaded from the OP into *PDA* mode by clicking the PDA button and browsing for it and then make sure *auto reboot* is all that is checked.

Then, power off your phone. Once powered off hold volume down and power until you're in download mode.

Once in download mode hit volume up for *continue* and plug your phone into your PC.

You are looking for a yellow box which will read 0:[COMX] and this means odin is attached to your device.

Once this is all complete, you have ONLY auto reboot checked, and the tar is loaded into the PDA slot, you're good to go. Hit start, and be patient.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
ok just trying to fix the keypad bug real quick and uploading thanks!!

uploading both fb15 and fb17 odexed roms with root and busy box no recovery going to be a minute

Not trying to rush you on this Maddoggin, you have already given us so much, but is it possible for tsm parts to be updated to ICS eventually? I don't think I can leave it behind. I waited to update last time, but you guys are driving me nuts with all the sweet $hit you keep putting out for this phone. My wife went and picked up the white one yesterday, she wants tsm, but with ICS coming out, now I'm thinking I might actually wait to root her phone because she hates having to reset all her stuff.

Thank you so much for the well written and complete instructions on how to use Odin with TARs. I've noticed a few with snarky remarks here and I just want to remind everyone that comedy is best left to professionals. Don't assume everyone is at the same stage in knowledge on this stuff as you are. We all entered the process at a different date and a different time in our life.

Also, a key for decoding ROMs for Samsung (only). First letter is the year (2012=F, 2011 = E). Second letter is month (A=Jan, B=Feb, etc). Last 2 digits are the day of month. Therefore FB15 was built on Feb 15, 2012 and Feb 17, 2012. EL30? December 30, 2011.

(off my soapbox and continuing to read with excitement) Thanks Calk, Shabby Maddoggin and all. Almost left for Verizon. You've given Sprint a reprieve.)
