Just to make sure I have this right:

1. Odin the EL26+CWM kernal, just like I did to flash CM9.

2. Boot in to recovery, after Odin is finished.

3. Flash the modem through recovery. From http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1352310

4. Then flash the CM9 kernel.

5. And we are good to go?

Question is by flashing the CM9 Kernel do you just mean flashing the Rom zip (cm-update-9 blah blah), or is there a separate kernel file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
That's all correct except for the fact that there should be a separate kernel that you can flash for CM9. I'm not sure about all that so you might want to ask around about that. Just make sure you don't flash a TouchWiz kernel, as CM9 requires an AOSP one.

EDIT: Just looked at the link and make sure that the modem you flash is in CWM .zip format. You don't use tars in CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
You can also get mobile Odin from the play store and flash a modem (.tar file, can be found on Calk's ICS 1.4 thread) through that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
That's the method I use. Most people don't want to pay for the app. 100% worth it though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
Another easy method

A free method is to download Odin to your PC, put the .tar file into the Phone slot, hook up your phone in download mode and flash it from there, easy as pie.:D

Edit: Don't forget to leave

only

automatic reboot checked in Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GoldBarSniper:
This.

Its late here and I wasn't thinking straight. My method had so many extra steps it wasn't funny. I can officially say my badddd.

The extra steps are worth the experience :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Inline:
So I can just flash the modem through odin? Awesome. Do they have the .tar's for all the modems? Or just some of them? And what's the risk of flashing it from Odin compared to method of doing a completely clean install with a different modem?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spider_Pig27:
Dude I would just say go with a clean install...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Clearing up a couple things:

1) Last I checked you

cannot

flash modems from Mobile ODIN on this phone. I am sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, such as Epix4G...

2) Calk's ROM threads usually contain a list of all modem TAR files so that they can be upgraded.

3) Modems need to be flashed through ODIN as far as I understood. But whether or not you should revert to EL26 before flashing? I can give the CW advice of going back to EL26 (better safe than sorry IMO), but hopefully a person experienced with CM9 can give you better advice on this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertm2011:
I'm running CM9 A2, and I've been keeping up with the latest modems using Odin. The beauty of it is that it is almost completely risk-free, no need to revert to EL26. Calks E4GT ICS thread has all the modem .tar files in the OP, flash away.:)

No offense meant, but we are talking about modems, not kernels, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antgly:
Mobile ODIN didn't flash the FD05 Modem that I gave it.

It rebooted, looked as if there was some progress going on, then booted back into the OS. My baseband shows FC24 as it did before and works fine.

Has there been any kind of corruption done to the kernel or modem on the phone? (All I gave it to flash was a modem.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
It's a known issue with Mobile Odin. For whatever reason when flashing modems for a CDMA phone the change doesn't stick. Chainfire is currently working on a fix for it.

In the meantime the work around is to flash through recovery.

Here's the FD05 on a zip format for you.

http://db.tt/68Fu2JL9

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddness505:
would you happen to have a flashable zip for the kernel as well????????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] faceyourfaces:
I believe the only way to get the kernel is to flash the actual rom itself. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
As of yet I have not come across the FD05 kernel alone. I myself am running straight FD02 kernel and modem. I was running the FD05 modem but it was giving me issues so I went back to FD02.

Sorry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You can just use Auto Root (includes all the kernels) or Mobile ODIN to install any kernel version.

Tmobile t959 samsung galaxy s vibrant

Hey guys, I had version 2.2 on my phone. I had this phone for about 1.5 years so I figured, why not update a custom flash?

Anyways, so I googled a friendly newbie guide, as I have no experience with phones. I used odin with a custom flash and it failed giving this message:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

Now I cant use my phone at all. I can get back into downloading mode, with the yellow android shoveling, but no matter what i load for a rom file, it always gives me an error. I tried searching endlessly, and I cant figure anything out.

Please, someone, I would really appreciate it if i could get some help. Is there anything I can try? This didnt work from the start...I first thought it was my usb drivers i even updated them but I dont know why I keep getting this fail error message:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruscan.calin:
really bricked phone is solved only by service tools

is not bricked because a really bricked phone will not boot in download mode it's like dead better is to say "is not booting" and the way to solve a "bricked" phone is to flash a stock rom that surely works you have to try many times because you don not know what rom was previously on the phone

1.get a stock rom on sammobile

2.also get corresponding Odin an pit file from there

3.flash by Odin in download mode

if not working try another rom also check if you have Android SDK an Kies make sure you have these tools- you need adb interface working and samsung drivers installed

when in download mode open Device Manager start/run/devmgmt.msc and check if you have adb interface active if not install Odin and SDK then restart PC and try again in download mode...

(don't do anything until you see something like this is Dev Manager -you see this only when phone is connected to PC yes in download mode)

tips

-pit file tells Odin how to flash files on phone in what order and how to so unpack rom and check if you see at least 3 md5 files : CSC/Modem/PDA not all roms are complete don't use a pit file until you have these 3 files in archive

-if Odin says "done" but phone is not booting try to enter recovery and (should work if you downloaded a complete rom ) ...and wipe data/cache/Dalvik-cache then reboot

-if you see ADB Interface connected in Dev Manager it means your phone is in download mode and

is not bricked

so can be solved ! do not believe me just try !

-if you do not see this install (again) everything/ use another computer and try again! if you don't get a sign this is bricked and send it in service don't lose time

*Moderator(s) I m sorry if this doesn't belong to this section ..please move it if u want ( and inform me please)

Guys I was just wondering why Google releases updates every year ...it doesn't bring any notable new features sometimes ( like froyo to gb = nothing new) sometimes some phones take a whole year to get the update and in the meantime a new update is announced :D

And then we have our manufacturers who refuse to update our phones( if u r looking at my signature and want to tell me that I should buy a high end phone lets talk about what happened to SGS 1 first :cool: ) and make the whole update sick :(

I think Google should convince the manufacturers to update all devices and Google itself should annonce less updates( less quality updates >>>> more quantity updates)

Or can someone explain Google 's strategy to me???? It sure doesn't make sense to me :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_R:
Kind of agree with what you have to say.

In my opinion many people have low end devices, which don't really get the latest os updates anyway, thanks to the phone manufacturers. So you'll have a large chunk of the user base using the older versions. Which in turn results in a large amount of applications targeting the older versions too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RDR-:
+1 ...I just can't see why Google makes the fuss about updates ??? I mean "update " by its very definition means improving I.e. older phones getting newer os but android phones hardly get more than 2 updates! !!! Even if the hardware supports the new software! !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
What do you mean no changes between Froyo and GB? From Wikipedia here are some:

A lot of it is new hardware support to keep up with technology. The new audio effects it talks about make it possible for system wide EQ apps without root like Equalizer, before GB IIRC this was not possible. They've also made multitasking better so that task killers shouldn't be needed.

Their update strategy is to debut the new OS on a Nexus device and then release the source so others can use it. Personally I would like to see Google let developers in earlier in development so they can get drivers and upgrades done quicker. This is how Microsoft does things and is why OEMs can have the new OS ready on hardware on its debut day. But Google's strategy is quite a bit different.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -RDR-:
Even I was thinking about your last point u know, when the update gets announced it should be released simultaneously ......waiting a whole year ( or 5-6months) sucks :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angelino0919:
I didn't know that had any effect yes I have changed my DPI but I can't even find some of the apps in the market like widget locker
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Since you are on a modified DPI, the market is not recognizing your phone and some apps will not show up because they only allow certain DPIs... you either need to go back to stock DPI (320 I believe) or get the modified market (play store, whatever).

_______Edit_________

I actually believe there are some DPIs that integrate well with the market, but I can't remember them off the top of my head (240? 190?)

All drivers install but the last two for Bluetooth do not work and come up red and INOP.

I have installed the latests drivers for both but no luck. It will only work using the Laptop as a Bluetooth headphone/micro Phone device. No file transfers or any data. Kies will not work either.

If you already have a prepaid sim card that works, all you do is pop it in the phone and it'll work.

If you have a bad IMEI, the phone will never work...it'll just be an expensive brick that can only do WiFi.

The only reason you unlock it is if you want to use the phone on a completely different carrier, or for international sim use.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mrktmind:
Looking for some opinions/advice regarding my security/privacy needs:

A way to prevent MITM attacks when using public wifi points.

A way to prevent Android from phoning home with who knows what kind of info about me.

A way to prevent apps from stealing my info / tracking my movements and usage.

With regards to #1 I think I can do that by using a VPN. Question is which is better - flashing a rom like CYM 9 which has OpenVPN pre-installed - or I believe Entropy's kernel will allow us to use the OpenVPN app that is on the Market???

#2 - I originally thought that a VPN would work here too - Android still phone's home but with a fake IP. Problem is that Android will auto-connect before the VPN does. If we had a firewall app with profiles we could solve that problem but no luck so far. Next, I'm thinking that the PDroid app might solve this problem now that we have deodexed roms that will allow us to use PDroid. Possible issue here is that from what I can tell there are sometimes many Android parts grouped together into one ID so when you turn off network access for one you turn it off for all?? Last I'm wondering (I have never used custom ROM's before) if ROM's such as CYM 9 have already gotten rid of all the "phone Home" problems and therefore we don't need to worry about it at all if we use one of these ROM's???

#3 I think a combination of PDroid and a firewall will solve this issue.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

# busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

# chmod 666 /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

OK, after that I successfully replaced the bcm4329.ko file that I downloaded from the same thread's second post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248838

Alternatevly I can of course just flash another ROM... maybe Virtuoso? Or what you would suggest. Virtuoso is Android 4.0 isn't it?

I was having a same problem like you when used it at the first time, but yesterday I flash again and do a following step:

1. In recovery, i wipe all phone data and wipe dalvik cache

2. Then I install a ROM, when aroma installer give an option to wipe again, do it (this I didn't do when the first time flashing LeeDroid)

3. After the installation is completed, I'm stuck at the bootloader. So I flash a boot.img via prompt with this command fastboot flash boot boot.img and it's work.. :D

4. Let me know if the problem still occurred.
[HTC EVO 3D] estonia:
I did this.

Where I get boot.img? I have my LeeDrOiD_3D_V5.4-Final-GB.zip (of course can try another ROM) and I should use boot.img from that ZIP?

Restarted to recovery, wiped all data and factory reset and then wiped cache (didn't see dalvik cache but there was just wipe cache option.

At recovery mode go to advance menu to find wipe dalvik cache, then Just flash a boot.img from command prompt, you have to extract a boot.img files from LeeDroid file zipped..

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
just a quick little tid bit of info about issues that are commonly caused by a kernel...

Wifi, Bluetooth, touch screen, sound, camera, and your overall power management are all functions of the Linux-droid kernel. If your wifi is flat out not working, if your touch screen does not respond, if your sound is not working… you see where this is going…. Then in many instances you should just flash another kernel to see if that corrects the issue. If it does, then your root cause of problems has been found.

Basic trouble shooting and logic can save you a lot of time and headache if you know what direction to look when finding the cause of an issue.

Hi I just got a e4gt used from a coworker for 80 bucks. But I'm having issues with it. Even off the cord, it says mtp connection. Every time I turn off the phone it sometimes starts right back up again on its own, and sometimes shows that it is charging, again while it is off the cord. Anyone have this problem?

If you have TEP, it would be free replacement at a sprint store. If you don't, it would be $35. We don't care about devices be used, per say.

However, this is all assuming there isn't corrosion in the charging port, which will generally cause the issues you are having. Take a peek in there with a small light and see if you can see any white cloudiness or rust.
