well we need clarification from the OP if they stay on CONSTANTLY, as in literally all the time

if not , then yeh probably MMS or voicemail in action

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

um what are "AT&T messages"??

because text messages dont require data

just MMS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] daveschz:
I meant constantly with the AT&T Messages app. I force close and relaunch it and I'm good then. 4G notification turns off.

The AT&T Messages app is a replacement app for SMS, MMS, Call Log, Voicemail/Visual Voicemail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
That shows you that on wifi your cellular/data modem is on standby ready to receive the mms or vvm. Having the icon showing doesn't mean it is using your data allowance.

You can put phone in airplane mode then turn wifi on. You won't see the 4g icon, but you won't receive any mms or vvm's.

Hey guys,

I have unpacked a stock 2.3.6 rom and unpacked system.rfs, but how do i make the updater-script with what i can install it in CWM? I want he rom to be in Ext4, so there must be something like: mount (ext4/.../...) in the script right?

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,

Thatgrass
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Ui print

Format

Mount

Install system

Install data

Symlink

Set permissions

Install kernel

UI print

This is the standard list, you can take mounts and wipe from another roms updaterscript
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Thatgrass:
So can I copy updater-script from an other rom? Or at least symlinks etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
At least format, mount, and kernel,

But note that mounting is EXT4 and not rfs, and kernel name is stated right or it wont install
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Thatgrass:
but how can i create a whole updaterscript? typing??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Uhhm yes..

Use another one as base and edit everything to match yours...

Ui prints are easy, but symlinks take some more time
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Thatgrass:
Ok... How can I know what i have to edit?? Sorry for n00b questions :p

to be specific, im trying to update the image that appears when you first turn on the phone. I saw this image when flipping through forums (cant remember where or i would give credit) and thought it would be nice as a splash screen. Hmm, won't let me upload the image right now.

I did this on my HTC hero but it was a lot easier there.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feyrune:
ok, found this wonderful post by jerdog with the partition tables and i think i've pulled something that looks almost right.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278281

Guess I'll have to do a little more googling on linux and block sizes and dd command. My head hurts enough, I don't wanna learn today :(

To summarize what i've tried so far (somebody stop me if they see me about to brick myself), i see that Entry #5 correlates to param.lfs and to subtract 1.... so, i tried dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk04 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096

i got an output (finally), but i have no idea if it's right or not. And I'm certainly not gonna start flashing random partitions without knowing for sure what the heck i'm doing.

now, i'm assuming that the bs option is for block size, so i'll have to start googling to see if i need to convert what's listed in the thread by jerdog to see if i need to do any calculations before just pasting the blocksize, cause i'm pretty sure i'm gonna brick myself if i don't get that one right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] feyrune:
Ok, so continuing my own little XDA blog (mods feel free to delete if nobody chips in with some help and im just talking to myself)...

It seems that bs=4096 is a magical number to copy the whole partition. So the param.lfs appears to be correct. I downloaded hex editor from the Play Store (I still think that's a stupid name).

I've modified it to remove all the logo.jpg references. The image that looks like my boot screen is logo_kor.jpg, but I'm sticking with the post for now. I'll try that one next if I can't get that to work.

I read some more stuff and it sound like im going to have to get my new jpg down below the original size.

My question is: Does anyone know how I can flash this without a computer? I've got a power charger and a car charger but no USB cable *facepalm*

I've got mobile Odin pro and rogue recovery, if that helps anyone.

PS: If anyone is willing to mentor me in this, please pm me so I don't keep sounding like an Idiot out here.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elvelozpotosino:
I don't believe is possible. On my EVO 4G that was something I would do all the time. But I think something to do with how the memory is read on this phone is impossible, same reason why the recovery is flashed with the kernel. I might be wrong but I couldn't figure out a way when I first got this phone so I stop trying...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I find that flashing a different boot animation every once in a while is what makes rebooting the phone much more enjoyable. The default Samsung boot screen only flashes up for a second or two anyway.

But, I accidentally flashed the wrong version of CWM recovery in Gingerbread once and it did change the boot screen. If that gives you a clue in the right direction...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Martyn.h:
Firstly I apologise if this has been covered anywhere - I read a load of posts and did a load of searches but came up empty handed about this specific issue.

I bought a Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830 Baseband:S5830NEKA3 OS:2.2.1) as a dev device and it's been working fine up until today, and at some point it decided it doesn't want to be able to connect to my computers. I've tried three different computers, two different operating systems, and ever tried installing Kies (urk) with no luck.

The phone can charge over USB, saying that it's charging over AC, but that's all that happens.

I can't boot in to recovery mode as holding the power+middle button+vol up just gives me a ramdump message.

Can anyone help me out?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Sentrax123:
When phone is turned off. Press and hold home+power/lock button untill it reaches recovery menu.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Martyn.h:
Check - that works. Thanks.

I'm now unsure as to how to proceed - neither adb devices nor fastboot devices are reporting anything back.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Shaaan:
Connect device to pc. Open device manager (windows). Remove all drivers related to the ace and Samsung.

Remove the device and reboot the pc. Then connect the device. Windows update will detect the device and install the necessary drivers. If it doesn't automatically do that then open up device manager and install them manually by right clicking on the device and selecting update drivers from internet.

From the Galaxies to your Ace...!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Martyn.h:
Thanks for your reply.

In windows there's no sign of any Samsung or Galaxy Ace drivers. Plugging it in to my Kubuntu machine gives me identical lsusb results as when not plugged in.

Have done a data wipe, checked that USB debugging is on and tried different cables :(

think it's screwed.

Think I could stick a ROM on the SD card and flash it? Would that work?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doo:DAce:
hmm.. kies didnt work right? So i guess only option IMO would be card reader or CWM

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Check mark "stay awake while charging" option in settings. Then just power screen off the screen, it won't get hot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
I hear this said every single time and I don't know if it works for some people but it never does for me.

The only solution I've found is to underclock your phone to around 600MHz (whatever your step around there is). This can be easily done with setcpu when you create a charging profile.

My phone used to overheat overnight and I'd wake up to a hot and dead phone. Since doing this I never get a hot phone and almost never wake up to a black screen (meaning my alarms will actually go off).

This is on stock battery.

sup peeps to make a long story short my 3d thought it could walk on water like Jesus did and come to find out it was a fail fml ........so sprint sent me a epic touch. Im knew to the whole Samsung galaxy s thing but I'm pretty sure I will get the hang of it specially with the Odin thing but my question is what's a good stable ROM with no bugs decent battery life and no lag? I wanna start this experience off right!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Calkulin's ROM (Gingerbread version, not ICS) or Blazer ROM. Don't flash ICS ROMs as they have the potential to perma-brick your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wp7chris:
Don't listen to this guy he knows nothing. Flash the goodness rom for a great ics experience. Calk gb rom is great, his current ics build is stable but horrible battery life. Long story short flash slim n trim, the goodness, or cm9 just make sure you flash from gb el26 kernel with cwm and you have NO risk of brick at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Blazer GB is solid as a rock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wp7chris:
I've flashed ics roms about twice a day for the past three weeks straight not one brick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riassan:
ice cream sandwich or gingerbread??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Says the guy with 3 thanks and 62 posts. I worked in a Sprint store as a technician; trust me I know what I'm talking about. Yes, you can circumvent the issues by doing what you said (flashing a Gingerbread kernel), but one misstep and you're screwed. I said nothing wrong; this guy just got his phone and he said he's still trying to get the hang of things, so like I said, I don't recommend flashing an ICS ROM [right away].

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Pretty good. I've owned a LOT of phones since the Evo 4G (which is still one of if not my favorite). The Epic Touch is a solid phone and will chew and spit out anything you throw at it (especially high-end games like GTA 3, Shadowgun, Riptide, etc). The camera is amazing too. You're gonna have a blast with this thing. I'm actually buying an international GS3 and heading to Straight Talk though, so I'm selling my Sprint GNexus soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
My friend has a 3D. What did you say to get the epic touch? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I "lost" it? Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Nothing; when Sprint runs out of supply of a phone, the system offers other phones that are usually of the same tier or better (iPhone is an exception, will never be offered or repaired by Sprint). Some reps will be nice and give you a list of choices, but most of the time they'll tell you what they've chosen for you. It's really up to the manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
I really wish people would do more research before saying such things. Yes, there is a chance of a brick, but it has been figured out now and some safe ICS options have been developed. Check out the Development thread and look at agat63 and sfhub's offerings at the very least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:

Agreed, if people read and follow the instructions, including familiarizing themself with the How not to brick your E4GT thread (link below), then bricking becomes a lesser threat.

Gingerbread:

Blazer

-fast

-amazing battery

-runs flawlessly smooth

-plenty of themes

-no bugs

-safe first choice for getting the hang of flashing and tweaking on this phone

Ice Cream Sandwich:

CyanogenMod 9

-great battery life for ICS

-really fast (over 6000 score on Antutu Benchmark without overclocking)

-theme chooser built in

-lots of dev support

-CyanogenMod goodness

-one of the most stable ICS roms out for this phone

-AOSP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
Also Blazer is ICS-themed and just looks sexy.

A neat trick I discovered, which you won't hear tossed around often is if you turn off auto-brightness, you can manually adjust the screen brightness by holding down on the notification bar until the pull-down appears (but don't pull it down). Then you just slide your finger to the left or right. Great for adjusting brightness quickly at night or outside.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Blazer ROM is definitely the best choice for a new user. Easy to install, insanely fast, and possibly the best battery life out of any ROM

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chauleyboii:
One other quick question when I was on the evo I could basically flash anything as far as back and forth with new updated firmware to old firmware but with Samsung I'm seeing that I have to Odin back to a certain firmware to update to a newer firmware if that makes sense.......so my question is that just something to do to be safe or what cause if I'm out and about and I check xda and see there is a new rom but it says I have to Odin back to a certain modem(that's the word I think) I can just flash without Odin first huh?? I hope this makes sense smh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I've been out of the Epic Touch game for a month or so, so I'll leave it up to someone else to answer. But if you're familiar with HTC terms, Modem = Radio.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
It's always safest to Odin back to stock EL26 or EL29 before flashing a new ROM, but it isn't necessary. The next safest step would just be flashing Calkulin's Format All zip in CWM and wiping cache/dalvik before flashing a new ROM. The Format All zip wipes data too but there's a modified version that doesn't. If you are flashing a new kernel or modem though you don't need to use these... Wiping cache and dalvik should be fine. As a new user I would recommend staying on GB until we get the ICS source because then you can just get Rogue Recovery (GB repacked kernels) to flash. For ICS its a little more complicated - you have to use Mobile ODIN (basically an Odin app on your phone) to flash the EL26/29 CWMs because there are no completely safe repacked recoveries meant for ICS kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Here are the zips with the Format All's. The modified one doesn't clear data
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Chauleyboii:
Thank you and I'll prolly stay away from ics for awhile lol you just made it seem complicated lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Np haha and it isn't that complicated, you just gotta know what you're doing. The first time i flashed ICS, I hard bricked and had to get a replacement. Let me know if you have any more questions... Feel free to pm

Turn usb debug ON is always recommended on the log of flashtool, flash succesful or not, is for use the rest of the options that provides flashtool. and is not needed for firmware flashing just conect in flashmode is needed.
