OK - I see it in a few of the source files, such as sdhci.c and mshci.c I believe Entropy mentioned ours uses sdhci - in which case it's not safe. However, I am sending a PM to both him and sfhub to see if either has time to confirm which controller the eMMC uses.

For those of you who would like to peek at the source, I took the contents of /drivers/mmc/host and compressed into a smaller file here: View attachment host.zip

It's just a matter of confirming which one is used as the controller for the eMMC and whether or not the following code is included:

mmc->caps |= MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ | [B][COLOR="Red"]MMC_CAP_ERASE[/COLOR][/B];

The code in red is the offending setting that enables secure wipes/formats that triggers the bug.

*Edit* Status is now likely unsafe - see two posts down for more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
This release is the source for the already leaked FF18 that we have in our possesion. So if it's not fixed in the FF18 in the development threads then it will not be fixed here.

however,

This will lead to better CM9.. possibly 10.... support from the battery life to the glitches and none working programs. As far as the current roms, they wont change much as the kernel is the only real benifit here and in all my testing they have squeezed just about everything out of it they can. But lets see what the devs can do :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Got a reply from Entropy. Unless the host controller for the eMMC is different than the standard GS2 (mshci) we're unsafe at a kernel level.

Will recommend that when devs use the source they remove the setting before compiling off of this source.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Wow that would be silly (not unheard of mind you but silly) for Sammy to release code that will surely brick boat loads of phones. I guess it may end up being another fiasco like the Note one in Europe(France) where the OTAs killed those devices. I think someone needs to get developement and sales to speak with one another at Sprint and Samsung. If the OTA kill loads of phone I can surely see Sprint losing even more customers.

I'm just glad you guys (Entropy, sfhub, Chris41g, Agat and the rest) are on it and that most of here - XDA get to benefit from your skills and work.

See what the week brings I guess
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Entropy has a F2F with Samsung in a week and a half if the schedule is still correct. Part of the reason I wanted to verify with him is for that: To give them an earful on our behalf. Honestly, I'm quite livid that it is still there but not surprised based on what the devs in Korea have been telling Entropy and Adam.

I've cross-posted the results on the eMMC Discussion thread and will try to follow the various threads. I've also linked this thread to what I hope Jay will still let stand as the official ICS thread. Hopefully that will herd people into those threads instead of spamming the forum... don't have time to check out 30 threads today.

Amazing... me and third, were just talking about this last night... aren't we all happy now??? I can't wait for the custom kernels and source built kernels for CM ...woooo!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Why is everyone choosing to go back to EL29 and let OTA go through? Just use sfhub's FF18+root if you want that or Sextape's version if you want non-rooted.

I'm waiting for all of the custom builds to be recompiled on the FF18 source - they ought to be REAL nice by Friday at the latest!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Agreed! For me, nothing will change when OTA comes through. "Source" is what I was looking forward to more because I'm hoping it will stabalize the already awesome ICS builds we have........along with official CM9/CM10/AOKP support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wasscomedy:
Yippie!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Of course this source doesn't have emmc fixed... its not even compilable in its downloadable form.. just like the first e4gt source its a cluster****. Its not gpl compliant, as none of their source releases ever are.. and it doesn't correlate to any leaked release and my bet is that it won't correlate to the ota either..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
So nothing better than we already had?

Was hoping with kernel source to start seeing some voodoo enhancements.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Oh yes... much better... we can now fix it ourselves..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
But our audio chip doesn't support voodoo sound, same reason we didn't have it in gingerbread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
So this source will probably not be the same as when OTA is released?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] piscesjoey:
Was just about to say the same lol, & also it's crazy how these damn corporations get away with thumbing their noses around the GPL, HTC did the same thing with the Evo 3D releasing half ass kernel source, I thought Samsung would be better than that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Honestly I was optimistic since Tmo was patched to avoid this - but then subsequent GS2 intl releases didn't. At least devs like you know to look for this and disable it when compiling to make their ROMs safe... which is what matters in the end.

Now if I can just find some time to finish setting up my box, get AOSP to compile and then look at this in more detail. Unfortunately all of my coding is from a terminal window or Windows client so not much I can do while at work :(

:good: finally some one i agree with

cant wait for custom roms that will take advantage of source :D because i sure dont know what to do with it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
So lets see if I am on the same page and my thinking is correct, Actually I would be shocked if it is LOL

So if Sammy starts pushing out the ICS update (seeing as the offending code is still in this from what I read and if I read that correctly) what happens if someone decides to factory reset their phone after doing the OTA update? Maybe they are wanting to sell it or whatever. My thinking is the phone will brick. Is this correct or do we just not know yet maybe? That or if after a person does accept an update can they then flash safely aftrewards? Maybe these are things that are not known yet. I am wondering only because my daughter ( who wont allow me to flash or touch her phone ) ha ha .........Does not know if she should accept any type of update should that option come up. My feeling is I should tell her don't do anything right now but since when do kids EVER listen right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
As of now the kernel has been considered unsafe by the masterminds in the emmc thread. It still has calls to mmc cap erase, but entropy said that there may possibly be some kind of workaround somewhere else that disables a secured wipe and does an unsecured wipe insread. This is what I got from my understanding of it. For all of us, the devs will be able to create completely safe kernels though :)

I just got an email saying that this build officially his our phones tomorrow....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mitchellvii:
As easy as it is to hard brick the E4GT, I would seriously wait until the devs have worked with this quite a bit before playing with it.

Just chill. Let them get it right.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

As exciting as this is, knowing we will be able to overclock, etc, my enthusiasm is muted by the fact that as is, everything pretty much happens instantaneously on my phone now.

It's like the difference between driving 150 and 180.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phpracing:
its been so long. What is this update you speak of? ICS never heard of it. LOL. all i got to say is finally. about time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
Thanks and yes, I have no intention of doing any OTA on my phone. I think I may have my daughter read this thread. Maybe then she will listen. I trust all of the devs here way more than any OTA :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
If it's from Sprint can you PM? (Just curious as it would be first official notice that I've seen)

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Long story short:

Samsung is basically saying "You're fine, don't worry..." and isn't disabling that option.

Many of us disagree and have proven this on unlocked recoveries that the command is triggered and can cause lockup.

To my knowledge have not tried doing regression tests of factory resetting - honestly I'm considering it to prove it.

Either way we'll find out - if it is going to happen we'll likely see it soon after OTA.

But for general use: Just don't do a factory reset from that build and you're fine.

If you think you need to or want to use CWM use a "safe" kernel and you're good too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Ya, I feel like for the life of this phone I'm just gonna stick to one of the format all scripts or el26 cwm to flash even if there are safe kernels just by habit :p

Click here for custom mods for your E4GT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] debinnv:
OMG please don't do that to your phone just to see if it is safe or not. Unless of course you have another and it wont matter if it bricks. Yep, your right it's not gonna take long to find out once the OTA does hit. Hate to see it happen to folks. You know, those unsuspecting or unknowing that don't even come here or know what a kernel or custom rom is. Of course, I guess most people get a phone and just use it till their upgrade and then get a new one and never have a problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ebuc:
with all the source hype i really hope some of the devs can cook up some magic

Thanks for posting ! Its good to see this finally come through.

I am sure a lot of the great minds are already looking at updating the custom ROMs. However, my curious minds wants me to install and see what its like. I am on a custom ICS ROM with CWM. Will a system update enable the OTA work ? Please let me know,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
I wish it only happened to unsuspecting or unknowing folks... Just consider how the Q&A section is littered with the burned out hulks of phones owned by "knowledgeable" people. On the other hand, if it only happens when people use the wipe option it's probably not gonna be that bad for the general public.

Does having source help us figure out if the leaked FF18 is any different than the OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1sparky:
Having the source will allow the great developers here figure out the differences between the old leak of FF18 ICS versus the one that is released today.

They will hopefully be able to see what got fixed and what may need additional tuning by the custom teams here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acme64:
this is so ****ing glorious most of the community doesn't even know if its real, lmfao.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 1sparky:
Well, atleast we have another source and I am sure with the great devs here we will know if there are differences.

The positive side is that the kernel source has been released and hopefully there will be more features. I am hoping more custom ROM's will be available regardless of the OTA or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
New kernel built from source have been uploaded.

Also seeing this on my Videotron device, which is the T-Mo based one (T999V). Could my Rom Manager not be up to date? I don't see an update on the market. When I log into CWM I have v5.5.0.4, which has been the same since I rooted.

I had the same issue with my Rogers GSIII. I flashed CM9 then installed ROM Manager and it showed me the SIII (AT&T) in devices. There's still some major issues with CM9 for our device though.

I hate that ROM Manager doesn't support my external card...hopefully that gets fixed soon (I see it greyed out in the settings).

I assume you flashed CM9 from recovery? Which version of CWM are you using?

I was using the version that came with the Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit (which I used to flash CM9).

After flashing CM9 I was able to install ROM Manager and then the official CWM for the SIII.

I'm selling an HTC One V and I would like to flash the kernel back to stock (it's currently on Titanium).

I've tried the All In One Toolkit kernel flash option, wiped cache and davlik (and even full factory wipe), tried restoring from my CWM nandroid backup.

Restoring always seems to go OK with no errors, but whenever I got to About in phone settings it still shows the kernel as Titanium.

Any ideas?

Relock bootloader and use the RUU

No, I didn't relock the bootloader. I'm a noob at kernel flashing so I didn't realize that I had to do that.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemu51:
Hi, I'm a final year Computer Science Student. My Final year project is to design a windows phone 7 app for transferring files from a remote database /sever to the windows phone device.

I have never been taught any C# or windows phone development. So far I have developed a windows phone 7 client app which connects to an SQL Server 2008 database, I can query the database from the app and return and display the text stored within the database tables. I am also able to store a picture in the database as binary data.

Can anyone advise me is it possible to store pdf and office documents within the SQL server database and download them to the windows phone 7 client and then open/view these files on the device. I believe that any files must be downloaded directly to isolated storage on the device but that there are restraints where that these files cannot be accessed by any other apps on the phone.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated..
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It's possible to open supported media and documents (pictures, PDFs, etc.) from an app, I'm pretty sure (for example, see the SkyDrive app). I know that it's possible using native code and a couple of other mildly undocumented features. Using only official APIs... never tried, but I think it can be done (I'm just not sure how).

Unless you use the undocumented ID_CAP_FILEVIEWER capability in your app (or use one of a number of available hacks), your app will not have write permissions anywhere except in its isolated storage. Officially, one app can't access the isolated storage of another app, although the Office stuff may bend the rules somewhat.
