I just flashed the modem.bin via pc odin and not the kernel, updated prl and profile, I get less bars at my desk here now vs FK09 though.

Turned on screen timeout to 30 seconds and turned on proximity sensor when calling. Tested a call and the other party could hear me the entire time, I then tested a speakerphone call and when the screen went off the person could still hear me. Previously on a speakerphone call when the screen went out other party could not hear me.

I may flash the kernel next or just wait for the tar file, not sure, hope this helps.

Discussion thread for FK23 is now live!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
This may be a stupid question but how do you flash the zimage file in odin or even in mobile odin? When I look for that file using the PDA slot nothing shows up like the modem.bin did in the phone slot.

I have only ever flashed tar files, sorry for the newbish question.

Thanks

Sorry, meant to ask this in the discussion thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
in mobile odin choose the "open file" option
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I tried mobile odin first and it did not see the zimage file that I downloaded when I used open file. I must be doing something wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Grab the .tar.md5 repack now that it's up. You'll be good to go.

Update:

E4GT Latest RDF now shows FK23, think we're looking at the next OTA folks.

If they're going to try and have this roll out before the injunction hearing we ought to see it this week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Don't tease us Garwynn. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Can't tease what I don't know.... for certain.

Now, should source drop? You'll see Sprint's OTA announcement within 48 hrs of that, probably even less.

FWIW I did post on Sprint Communities.

If I had time I'd drop it on Twitter as well.. might try later tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Warboy:
Just as a sidenote, I loaded the FK23 Modem and kernel on to FK09 and it fixed the phone call sleep bug and the contact picture bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fredrick1213:
Does the repack kernel have undervolting capabilities?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
So we know the modem fixes the mute bug and now it looks like the kernel fixes the contact bug. hmmmmm OTA possibilities or not this may just get flashed in a min. Just concerned with the signal issues that have been reported....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
It's only been 4 days, how sure are you? I've always been on your side so don't take it the wrong way. Im just playing devil's adocate. If this is OTA, does te team already have the ota update zip (FI27 to FK23) file which can be released?What is this injunction? Apparently i'm working too much cuz I haven't heard much about it. Can you share a link about it so i can read up and be informed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalek_Caan:
I personally am not seeing any major signal issues with it , all running well so far , but rwilco did say in the discussion thread

"FK23 modem/kernel are optimized for FK23. It works with FK09 but just as FK09 was optimized for FK09 it may not work 100% with other builds"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
HMMM... might do a quick backup and try anyways...

Is the background scrolling on JB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
No, but again supports the "let's get safe before the hearing" play. The scrolling was one of the potentially infringing patents.

Unless they do another late-game switcheroo, 95% certain. (Original source came from corp. internal docs which were right in all but one that I have seen so far.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
It works on nova launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bloooctober:
I flashed the modem/kernel as well, but I still have the contact picture bug. The mute bug, however, seems to be thoroughly squashed. I will try a reflash of the kernel to see if that helps matters.

Edit: Mobile Odin'd the kernel again. Did not resolve the contact picture bug. Has anyone used the one-click with success?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
That's odd because there are reports of the contact bug fixed as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I believe the contact bug fix is in the rom. Which we don't have. So far only fix we have are mute bug and 4g freezing bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
agree contact bug still there

RDF?

ok this might not be the appropriate place for it but i was seeking information about my E4gt that led me here. Im curious what is RDF? ive not seen that term before
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Yes FK23 Downloaded and Flashing now... :victory:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Anymore positive signs this (FK23) will become the OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Ahhhh, Google is good..

This is an introduction to RDF (“Resource Description Framework”), which is the standard for encoding metadata and other knowledge on the Semantic Web. In the Semantic Web, computer applications make use of structured information spread in a distributed and decentralized way throughout the current web. RDF is an abstract model, a way to break down knowledge into discrete pieces, and while it is most popularly known for its RDF/XML syntax, RDF can be stored in a variety of formats. This article discusses the abstract RDF model, two concrete serialization formats, how RDF is used and how it differs from plain XML, higher-level RDF semantics, best practices for deployment, and querying RDF data sources.

And just when you thought it was over!! Boom fk29 drops!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
I knew it couldn't be ota. It's just to soon and people r reporting too many issues such as Bluetooth. Which is a big one because it's used by many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Lol its 4.0.4 again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Usually means this is a test for how the OTA will go. So FK23 could be the final build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The rumors originally said that there

may

be an ICS update prior to JB... but I honestly discounted that seeing how far FK23 is coming along. But... if they are having problems getting the data from FI27 to play nice with FK23 then I could see another ICS build that would get it to a point where it can easily OTA to FK23 and be able to keep the existing data, settings, etc.

*Edit* Also odd that they chose to keep FK23 as the latest. Still think this is our JB OTA... but probably won't know until middle of next week for sure. (Source dropped 12 days after 9/27.... 16 days after 9/22 for Boost.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I have come to find that speculating is just too exhausting. I tend to have a "lay back and just let it happen" type of mindset now :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Awww... speculating is fun, especially now that it's occasionally supported by something tangible!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
+1 for laidback
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Holy moly the battery life on this is amazing. If it's this good on a stock ROM, I can only imagine how good it will be once optimized.

It's like having a whole new phone, folks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
And the ball keeps rolling toward JB. Starting to get excited. However not as excited as I was for ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Another user converted. :victory:

For all the users turned off by ICS this honestly has a lot of potential to get folks back

on

the E4GT and GS2 variants... especially if it was fine except for the O/S or stock build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Agreed! I had way to many issues with ICS. I am currently running FK23 as my daily driver and although battery is just a little worse (not by too much) than GB this was a very nice upgrade for me coming directly from GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Agreed. My wife has this phone too but is in the "don't root my phone" club (trust me, I've tried to convert her), but she hates the ICS update. Can't wait to put this on her phone too. She's waiting for the NODATA One Click.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Wi-Fi also finally behaving?

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

I normally just drop rooted on there since it doesn't hurt to have it... but I'm waiting for the OTA announcement before I do the nodata version. Reason being it's a clear indication that it's been tested and signed off as working.

I have 2 others interested at the office. Maybe I should use one as a guinea pig... :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I don't think anything will ever compete with EL29.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I'm thinking I might just tell her I'm not wiping her data, but really back up everything on her internal sd and tell her I need her Google password.....and that the whole upgrade process takes 45 minutes, lol!

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

As far as performance and battery, agreed. I'd still take all these new features of ICS/JB in a heartbeat though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
@garwyn

Yup WiFi seems to be working pretty solid now!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hd_rider:
I'm really happy with this leak. I've been on EL26 for so long but thought I would hold out until a one-click was availble for FK23. But after reading all of the positive remarks, I had to give it a shot. Spent the majority of the last two days learning what I could about flashing modems, kernels, and ROMs. Took the plunge today and glad I did.

Still haven't figured out how to root this yet (yes, I've read the FK23 root thread repeatedly) but I figure a rooted one-click will be along soon enough.

Thanks to team Sextape and all of the other developers here that made this possible. I honestly feel this update has breathed new life into this old phone and I'm not so bent on replacing it when my contract is up in July.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ind3lible:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well hope they add multi window but doubt it :(.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
FK29 is actually 4.0.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I'm curious to what fixes/changes they made...

Maybe they are watching the threads on XDA and are making changes based on our findings. :what:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Two teams working on this?

FK28 - 4.1.2

FK29 - 4.0.4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Can't be... they must've had an issue with OTA testing so they are trying it again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Or maybe they are ironing out more bugs and adding more features. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Or maybe they feel like saving the time and being over achievers and just giving us the 4.2.1 update and are baking it in now to save themselves another role out :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
FK23 One Clicks:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021640

... and 28/29 look like more OTA prep/testing to me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
That will not happen, more like wishful thinking. :rolleyes:

We will stay on 4.1.2... And believe me 4.2/4.2.1 are buggy as hell they will not take that risk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Continuing on my speculation for OTA... and using FI27 release schedule as our basis....

... let's assume FK23 is our OTA. 12 days from 11/23 is... 12/5. So here's where I'm placing my bets:

Source Drop: Between 12/4 and 12/6

OTA Announcement: 12/6-12/7

Normally OTA pushes out the following week and is at least 2 weeks so let's assume OTA won't push until 12/10 and go until Christmas.

It's going to be a great Christmas!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
garwynn, am I reading it right on the other thread that the NODATA one clicks WILL NOT wipeout your existing data, despite the partitioning changes? How's that possible? If so, I'll be giving this a shot right after work. Had planned on holding off for the OTA and whatever Sprint/Samsung had cooked up as a solution, but if it's working now, so be it :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
No it won't - finally found where that is happening and it's not included in the Nodata version. (It's happening in the cache.img file being flashed - contains a script to wipe /data, /sdcard and then drop some objects into the /system folder.)

Now if I can just find the hidden lock screens and extract them...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Awesome, man! Thanks for all your great work. Looking forward to giving this a shot later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I run 4.2.1 on my nexus 7 no major issues whats so ever that I have seen and battery life is amazing....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
By the way.. the OTA date range is a little more accurate than speculative :wink:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
What if they release another ICS build to move the storage file locations so that they can avoid delleting everything with a JB OTA. is that even possible? Lol just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Since the NODATA version doesn't delete everything, I'm guessing the OTA will just be quite similar to that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I suspect that's why they're doing the 2 step update...

Source is hearing will either be FK21/FK23 or FK28/29 for OTAs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaveVQ:
I don't like the FK09/23 lock screens, prefer the circle lockscreen in the AOSP's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Snazarian:
FK29 Just dropped yesterday!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Your a little late to the party...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Think there will actually be anything worth holding off from using the NODATA versions though (for those of us concerned about keeping data)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Without knowing why they're doing the 2 step process, no.

If it works go for it... but that's why I'm going to continue cautioning against it.

Honestly just seems easier to take the pain once and jump to JB - after that will never go back to ICS anyhow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Is there any chance to get the update zip file for FK23? This would be the same file used for OTA. Before it used to be released but not sure if you can get you're hands on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I'll second this resoning. There is probably a good reason why they might split it up.

Back in the GB days I was always leary of having to 'reload' everything between flashes. So I made loads of nands and then used the 'no-data' versions (modified format all too) with great success. The when ICS leaks started coming out I also used this method most often (sometimes did full wipes for testing etc.) but also used no-data verisions for most. Eventually kept a few nands around and then started doing full wipes most often for testing and restoring nands to update my daily driver(s).

On this go around with JB I just bit the bullet and did a complete new install (wipe data). My reasoning was the parition size changes could be an issue. And I really, really don't need to brick my phone.

So backed up all my internal SD card data that I thought I'd need. Created new Titanium backups and app list(s) backups etc. To External SD AND PC of course. Then just installed the 'wipe data' .tar via Mobile Odin, then one-click (PC Odin) the modem and started fresh. I used Titanium to restore missing apps, messages and call logs and then just logged in/created accounts where needed. And used Titanium to remove the bloatware I don't need.

It has been really smooth for me so far. I don't see me ever going back, but I can if needed; just PC Odin a FF18 full wipe, install root and CWM via autoroot package and then restore my last ICS nand. Bam done.

As long as this keeps running as well as it has; which is flawless for me. I will stay on it.

Once Agat and the other kernel geniuses build some custom recoveries I'm sure I'll NEVER have to go back.

Thanks to all the folks who continue to keep this device kicking a$$.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Easiest ways I heard to get it:

1) When update prompt comes, may be available in logcat.

2) Download the package, do

not

reboot and pull from /cache.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Yeah 4.2.1 its amazing running it on my N7 too no problems whatsoever. The problems arrive as soon as you root and add CWM then is a PITA. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I jumped in and flashed the first leak and let it wipe my internal storage, I backed up the files to my extsd card and my pc first. Besides the headache of the average user having to backup their files on the internal card, what is the big deal? I have been reading all the posts and haven't seen any comments, but is there any other negative from doing this? By letting the original tar leak wipe my phone did that do anything to it that would cause my phone to have any other issues? Like going back to latest official ICS or something else that it may have done to the phone.

The way it is running now I see no reason to go back to ICS unless it is to get the OTA. *knocks on wood*

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
By wiping the internal storage, it caused some minor headaches for me when I wanted to go back to calkulin's v3.0 custom GB. After oneclicking back and adding cwm, I noticed that I no longer could choose my custom ringtones and notification sounds. Those two folders were gone despite restoring back with a nandroid. The workaround, however, was easy. I just had to manually create those folders & populate them with sound files. Anything else the wiping of the internal storage may cause, I don't know yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Interesting , thanks for the info. This type of issue is exactly what I was thinking could happen with these new jb buiilds/leaks. What would suck is if they actually change this before OTA and for those of us who flashed the leak may have problems. With that said I am not complaining, I know the risk of flashing leaks and I am happy with the latest leak. I was going to flash my wife E4GT but going to leave her on Fi27 for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Take it with a grain of salt...

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/508691#508691?

I actually am inclined to give this credibility because of the suggested timeline from our crack team of inside sources. Unfortunately we're still waiting for the source drop so until then it's going to remain unable to be confirmed....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
About Jelly Bean I buy it, but about fixing the RF interference issue I'm skeptic about it because the fix is not present on FK23 unless they implement it in final stage before release, and yes it can be fixed with software patch with some lines of codes that analyze and suppress if uncommon behavior is detected in chip due to RF interference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Well don't forget the latest build is fk29 and we really don't know what is in it at this point.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
We're either going to get:

FK21 (ICS) / FK23 (JB)

or

FK29 (ICS) / FK28 (JB)

The differences are probably minor and for those who did the full restore nothing that will matter.

The little bit that I had heard suggested this was just another OTA test - doesn't mean it made any difference.

All the more that I hope source drops so that we'll know for sure what we're getting!

Also not being able to access the camera directory when mounted MTP

And some the Bluetooth issues that people are having
