Yes...thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
In previous builds with contacts fc'ing, it was suggested that you open the contacts app before adding your Google account, click the option to never show that message again, close the contacts app, add your Google account and all should be good. Don't know if that same fix will work here but good luck.

I have to call BS on the numbers you're posting. The first picture shows over an hour of non-idle time with only a few minutes of idle. This is because the phone is plugged in (your battery is at 100% still). My understanding is that these phones do not idle while plugged in.

Please compare apples to apples... phone plugged in for an hour will have a much different idle-time profile than a phone unplugged for an hour.

Your tweaks may be increasing battery life, but please be realistic on the data you're posting.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmark27:
Go into your Applications menu -> All. Then clear data and force stop the Contact Storage and then the Contacts App.

Then go into your Accounts and Sync, and sync your contacts for each account as needed. Don't go into your Contacts App for about 15 minutes (if on WiFi, probably longer on network) to make sure that everything is done syncing.

When you enter Contacts App, it'll ask you that pop up message again. Click the check box to dismiss and you should be good to go.

IF that doesn't work, then disable sync contacts on your accounts. Go and clear the caches/force stop contacts storage and app. Then go into your contacts app -> clear that pop up message, then go back to your accounts and resync your contacts.

I have used both ways successfully when they didn't want to play nice. I hope that helps you as well. Samsung hasn't gotten all the bugs worked out of the contacts sync. If you use an app like Handcent SMS, your contact groups will be all EFFed up still. This is still a major issue in my book, but mine have been working "okay" for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
50% right. If you know that System Tuner tool, it measures the time continuously even the phone is plugged in or not. I'm not going to explain you everything who think this is BS. You are just not getting my point.

Edit: anyway, this is not my thread and I don't want to argue with anyone in sfhub's thread. I just jumped in this thread because I downloaded and flashed it. Started answering about the battery life... That's it and nothing more. Now I'm moving away. Enjoy your sfhub's rooted rom!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IAmSixNine:
Looks like that did it. I was on the right track. I was clearing data and force stopping the Contacts apps but didnt notice the Contact Storage.

Thank You.

So I think I've got a little problem. Downloaded the no data and am running Odin one click. Plugged it in, clicked start and for the last 25 minutes it's been stuck on initialization and it's not making any progress. I'm running FD26 right now. I'm getting worried. What do I do???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tt281gt:
SO far so good, just ONE ISSUE:

When updating a market app it gives : "Package file is invalid" error :o

Anyone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
First, don't panic. Whenever ODIN doesn't complete a flash (regardless of whether your phone is really in trouble or not) you'll get a Kies message and it won't boot. Do NOT worry about this, once you complete a flash, it'll go away.

1) reboot your PC

2) pull the battery from your phone for 2 minutes

3) replace battery and press/hold Power+VolDown until ODIN confirmation page shows up, then VolUp

4) reflash

If your ODIN OneClick download is bad, it will fail md5 check and won't flash, so while it is possible to get a bad download, it is not possible to flash a bad download.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
Initializing means it never started. Unplug and reboot phone and pc. Then try again?

Hi, my usb port is only good for charging now and have to resort to mobil odin. I figured out how to use it but I'm currently on Calculin's EL29 v3.0 and was wondering if it's ok to flash this ROM using mobil odin. I would normally use his format all and then flash an ICS rom in CWM.

Thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
Yes, you can. Look at the OP instructions on using under ANDROID for Mobile Odin flashing. Need another app to extract what you need for it to work with Mobile Odin, I'm sure agat will be coming out with the flashable zip for this then his themed version soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigpeng:
I never had issue when flashing Calks 1.5 with FD26 stock plus kernel that sfhub released prior to his FE07 version. Worked Flawlessly. Calk has a repacked on his 1.5 rom but I didn't flash roms with it, just modems and addons.

If stock unlocked recoveries are causing bricks, Samsung will be having more than they can handle... :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
garwynn and I are investigating this. So far garwynn has found a code checkin from Samsung that has a reasonable chance at being a workaround for the brick issue. Garwynn has also confirmed this checkin is included in the FE07 kernel.

We have put together some questions and are communicating with the developer who checked in the fix to get more details.

We have NOT verified if the fix actually works to prevent bricks. Given the nature of this brick we thought it would be better to have a few limited people test it out first to confirm the workaround rather than tell everyone it is fixed and find out it is only partially fixed or we misunderstood what they were fixing.

We have now found a case of an EMMC /data bricked phone with fwrev 0x0, so either we are not understanding what Samsung's fix is doing or they have not addressed the full scope of the problem. Do NOT assume if your fwrev is 0x0 you are safe.

The workaround/fix applies only to certain EMMC models/revisions. Presumably other model names and/or revisions do not suffer from the issue.

Name: VYL00M

HwRev: 0x0

FwRev: 0x25

Name: KYL00M

HwRev: 0x0

FwRev: 0x25

Name: MAG4FA

HwRev: 0x0

FwRev: 0x25

To determine what version you have

We'll be putting together a more detailed writeup soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I used FD02+CWM-Rogue to flash but you can use EL26 also.

You can also pull the zImage from the zip and flash in Mobile ODIN.

I'll also have an updated Auto Root package that will include FE07-Plus tested and uploaded soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RustedRoot:
Much obliged for the quick turnaround.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Admiral2145:
Does the plus version have rouge recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
No, it has unlocked stock recovery which will allow you to flash themes, roms, modems, kernels, etc.

You'll get a signature verification error, but it will complete the install.

It doesn't do backups so you'd need to handle those through something else, for example Titanium.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
But is there a risk of bricking using the unlocked recovery to flash themes, roms, modems, kernels, etc?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
I'm pretty sure the bricking is a result of formatting data partitions, so no.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rob97ss:
I flashed both, the only thing I did notice was it broke Ics messaging!!

Bobby O'S Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
For modems and kernels chances for brick are unlikely.

There is a potential fix, in this kernel, from Samsung for the emmc bricking, but we haven't verified if it does indeed fix the problem.

Having said that, I have tested flashing format_all and flashing ROMs using this unlocked recovery with the FE07 kernel and it has worked fine.

However, my EMMC hardware is not one of the ones affected by the emmc issue, so I cannot say whether my experiences will match yours.

Stock recovery, in general hasn't been know to trigger the emmc corruption issue, but that's not to say it couldn't happen. Most often we've seen it with custom recoveries and/or fake flashed recoveries.

Garwynn and I are going to investigate the fix a little more and possibly we'll have more info in a few days.

This has the best chance of not having the brick issue because of the kernel fix, but since it hasn't been verified, there is always the potential for the problem to still be there.

Sorry I cannot give you a more definitive answer. I'm just trying to relay the information we have currently in an unbiased manner.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
In what way did it break? ICS messaging works for me using both the Plus and Unlocked kernel repacks. Is it possible it is a coincindence? It would be surprising if the unlocked version caused any issues as only one binary was replaced and it is only active when you are running recovery. It is inactive in Android.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
How do you know if your EMMC hardware isnt affected by the EMMC issue? Is this something I could check myself? Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Again, we are basing this on the code that was checked in, and it hasn't been verified, so please don't take it as gospel. See this post for the info you asked about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25850253#post25850253
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
sfhub if you can walk me through this process I'm willing to be a guinea pig but we need to start with telling me how to pull up that information to determine if my phone is one of those affected, you gave the process but in what program do I use. Keep in mind I'm pretty clueless on using my phone like a terminal but I learn quickly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yes I understand :) I went ahead and checked and I have:

MAG4FA

0x0

0x0

So was this one of the EMMC models "fixed" in the FE07 kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Make sure USB debugging is enabled

Connect your phone to your PC

Run Auto Root

Select Option E "Extra Options"

Select Option L "Start adb shell"

Type the bolded commands in the previous posts reference link.

Compare your output with the 3 listed.

Again, keep in mind this is all pretty preliminary and information I'm providing (much of which is from reading the source code and comments) might not hold as we try to verify the fix.

Howdy all! If you've seen me around you'll know I love being an active member of these forums. With my job I have free time some days (some days NONE lol) and helping people makes me happy. I hate causing problems. But there has been a rash of interesting posts within the last 6 months (maybe going back farther but there has been an increase in the past 6 months that I've noticed) of people beginning their posts with:

" sorry for the noob question, but..."

Also, some start with, " sorry I did a search but I'm pressed for time and...."

OK. Look. When I joined up, I had to watch a video. It showed me how much of a noob I am, and told me to search, then search some more, and finally, SEARCH. Again. Now, maybe I'm crazy, but that is still XDA policy. Just because yer new, it doesn't give u an excuse to be lazy. Just because yer in a hurry , it doesn't give u the right to ignore the rules u agreed to when u signed up here.

I was a noob too. A year ago. Guess what? From day one I searched. And searched. And searched again. Why? Cause I love solving as many problems as I can ON MY OWN. Lets try and get back to that. Google search is a great tool. Yes the mobile app search is limited. But u have a browser on your phone. U can go to the actual site and search there as well. Remember, we're a community. And these rules are put in place to help us and maintain some semblence of order.

Remember folks when u search first, and don't post a new thread for something easily found, it not only looks better for u. But it reflects the respect u have for this community and its mods/devs.

Good luck all, happy flashing.

P.S. Red, if have to close this thread, just know this meets my quota for rants for the month. :p

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I personally have NO issue reading "noobie" questions. Everyone is different and I don't expect they must act like me. For you, me and others who spot a so-called "noob question", if you don't want to help then report the thread/post to mod so they can take care of. Yelling at newbies just makes the matter worse and that have been proved for ......... like you said, the past 6 months.

What irritates me more is SAME person asking the SAME question by creating multiple threads.

Therefore, for us, seniors, if you're not willing to help then just simply walk away from the thread, don't post, don't act like you are the mod.

One other issue, don't be an ass-kisser here.

For newbie, pls read the sticky thread FIRST.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Gutterball:
This is 100% correct but you are missing one other important word to go with your "rules, etiquette and respect" slogan and that word is "Attention"

People need to pay attention! So if you could just change the title of the thread to "Rules, Etiquette, Attention, and Respect" or R.E.A.R. for short? Then I think that will cover it. So next time someone asks a question in the wrong thread? I can just point them right to your R.E.A.R. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Twisted Z:
Most of us are coming to under stand that there is no help what so ever for what the old gaurd calls common qustions so we just go else where ;)

I spent 18 hours sunday working on my phone and I am happy with the results.

The biggest problem is even the fairly detailed instructions leave out the tiniest simple things people do not think of because they just figure everyone on earth should know it.

take for example if you are trying to get your phone ready and going right now the easiest way is to use the directions and flash to a older SU rom then up grade it from there. I searched for hours and could not find an answer to a simple question on why Odin would not upload the files I was trying to load so I had CWM.

In the end the answer, which I figured out my self, was that Odin will not load the .zip files everyone uses for CWM. I accedently tripped over a kernel that was in a different format,.tar, and got lucky.

After that I soft bricked the phone a few times following directions and then ran across the Little bricker Rom that had GREAT directions and loaded first time perfectly.

So for you old timers I might say step back every once in a while when you are writing the great write ups you do and think of the first time you did it. It is the little things that count and are left out most of the time ;)

As Android grows you are going to have to deal with it more and more and you just can't keep kicking people in the teeth or they will not return. GOOD you say? No not good. Not everyone wants an Apple and you do not want to wind up like Nokia or the old PDA platforms that are dead and gone.

So take this how you may. I did get where I needed to go but a simple 20 minute gig took 18 hours to figure out because of the little things all of you take for granted and do not always include.

Thank you for the site
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
All said here is true but as a noob i must say that there is a lack of usual information here.

A BIG lack...

The problem is visual.

The stickies was made by a dev. Just find a good NOOB to do it and youll be fine.

The first stickie must be how to flash a rom. But this one is not there. It is inside of another stickie at the line 157... cmon

The noob that decides to flash wont read all the stuff. He'll just read the info that he wants.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wonner:
I don't think there is a lack of information, far from it. I think the problem is that the information is scattered. For example, the guy 2 posts up that tried to use a .zip in Odin...the information that you need to use a .tar is posted in these forums, it's just not in an easily accessible place like the FAQs. I think it's a combination of: lack of organization on the forum's side and laziness on the user's side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RatusNatus:
Sorry about my english, there is a communication lack.

you are right, the info was there but people just dont get it...why is that?

Inside the Red stickie, look at the title of the topics listed there.

How to flash custom binaries... what a hell is a binarie?

How to flash... the counter?

What... counter?

I think some of you have forgotten how this place originally came about and its primary purpose. It was and still is, mostly, a place for developers and development. It was never supposed to be a help desk. That it is a great resource for people needing help is a secondary byproduct, not its raison de'tre. I think this misunderstanding is what leads to incorrect assumptions and expectations and, in turn, hurt feelings when the forum doesn't meet what some think it should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I respectfully disagree. The noob does not need a step by step guide. The noob needs to read, research, and learn so that he (or she) can make sense of the available information. a quick guide so the noob "can haz ROM nao" is only going to lead to a disappointed, knowledge lacking noob later on down the line...

And you need to remember that the developers in here, for the most part, don't get paid for what they do. We get all their great stuff for free. Actually, we get it for the cost of doing our own research and finding our own solutions. Seems like a fair trade to me.

And as dandrum noted, helping noobs by leading them by the hand is a bad idea. People need to understand fully what they are doing and what it does because otherwise when they inevitably run into a problem they will have no idea what to do to fix it or where to start to even look. This stuff isn't rocket science, but it does require a certain level of comprehension. it is unfair to expect the unpaid members of this forum to bail people out when something goes wrong because they either didn't do their homework or have no understanding of what they're doing.
