Yea, that's a good idea. OTAs are infrequent enough that I can switch before I install it. Just need to keep the wife's fingers off the upgrade button. THx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
Please excuse a noobish question. After reading for days all the various messages I just did the one-click for FI03 rooted. If I use your FH23 from Odin this will give me a kernel and recovery that will not brick my phone correct?

I came to the E4GT from the Nexus S 4G and that phone was so easy to root and flash roms and not once did I have to worry about bricking it.

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes it will.

But if you use odin to flash kernel it will trigger yellow triangle.

I would suggest you use Mobile ODIN available for free for XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
I found your other posts for F!03 with recovery and have just downloaded the mobile Odin. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
Wow, I've been trying to figure out what was going on. After I ran FH13_AGAT.tar via Mobile ODIN, I was unable to install or upgrade certain apps.

I drove myself crazy trying to figure it out.

I finally did a recovery back to FH23 and I'm OK. But I really want to go back to FH13 or even FI103.

If I go back to FH13 is there a solution to these apps not being able to get installed or upgraded.

Oh, I should state that the error message is stating 'Error unable to install to USB or SDCARD'

Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
Go to

Menu/systemsettingS/storage

unmount sdcard

install app

follow saod and enable.

It has nothing to do with the Rom or Kernel thougj, its stale data from old apps on sdcard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rlanza1054:
That what some people were telling me. I uninstalled, I used SDMAID to clear out everything.

Question: would one of the fixes be to reformat the sdcard, would that correct the issue permanently, as someone mentioned here?

And because you made the method of using Mobile ODIN so easy for me (a none developer), I appreciate your efforts. I think I made a donation but I need to check, if I haven't I will. Maybe you can let me know to if you are able to.

But going back to Mobile ODIN, since your put out the FI103, maybe it's worth to try that out as well, but would I still encounter the issue of installing or upgrading to SDCARD.

I should also state as I might have already, I'm back on FH23 now and all the apps in question are getting upgraded and installed without issue.

So there is something about the upgrade that causes these issues. So it might not be your package, but what Samsung has done in the upgrade that's causing this issue.

But if the reformat will fix it, that's easy enough to perform.

Thanks for the help!

Rob

PS Hipefully you will see this edit, I have a question about the usage of Superuser. I tried to install SuperSu instead since that is what everyone is using moving forward, I had trouble switching and installing SuperSu because of SU Binary I believe. Is there a way to package this FH13 with SuperSU instead of Superuser?

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

That's exactly what I am getting too!!!

Only on certain apps, not all apps. And it really applies to updates of apps but only a few. One example is: Epocrates, Talkdroid, SVOX Victoria, all things that I've installed before. I uninstalled but it would not let me reinstall.

However, I was able to put these apps back on via a backup from System Tuner Pro. That it would allow me to do?

Rob

PS One more question after upgrading back to FH13, I noticed in the status page that I am on Build Number IMM76I.FF18, shouldn't that be upgraded to FF13?, or is that something different?

Need to know

I have tried to read all the post concerning this flash. If I missed the information I apologize. I have an unrooted stock rom, can I flash your repacked fh13 on my phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I know I wish. The gs3 forums suck. Nothing is organized. I had to ask someone for the stock lg8 kernel cause it wasn't posted. I love this forum. Everything is organized.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
Lol indeed. It took me an hour just to find a stock rooted LG8 ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
me too :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Link has been updated.

Now it works.

Just flashed it myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
Thanks Agat
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm actually looking into SGSIII kernel now.

Trying to prepare myself for it.

Got source on my HDD and planning to try to compile.

You guys have boot.img for kernel, right?

It's not zImage like E4GT?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nevell:
I do believe that is correct. Not sure however I did see "flashing boot.img" in odin when I flashed stock ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
New file flashed fine booted 3 times n now charging the agat!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
That is correct, agat.

S3 is boot.img and recovery.img on separated partitions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That's interesting because I'm looking into source and how to of SPH-L710 (Sprint version of SGSIII) and how to is for zImage.

Same as for E4GT.

I see same in siyah source and gokhanmorals' source on github.

Kinda confused now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
That's really weird. I still have some copies of s3 ROMs on my SD card from when I was working on a port a while back.

The boot.img was then main reason the port failed.

In know that the boot.img name is not device specific, rather zImage is Samsung specific... but AOSP still uses boot.img on E4GT..

Idk.. its all beyond me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
Loaded .zip file flashed in recovery, however the apps on my SD card disappeared. So I went and grabbed SexTape's stock kernal flashed with mobile odin rebooted apps showed up. I then flashed Agat's new kernal using mobile odin, so far apps on SD are working. I know we had to do this on ff18 but wanted to post findings for any new people etc. Agat I ran this kernal all night and so far battery seems good, thank you. I think we should all buy you some beer for the weekend !!

Lost 6% in 4 hrs just being idle

Not good? Fh13 kernel el29 modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madscienist2:
hey agat

should i just keep w the kern agat 4.3#2 rather than new kernel..... i dont see any advantages for flashing the new 1 i dont understand lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
New one is in other thread. It's 0.4.4.

This is just repacked STOCK kernel with custom recovery.

This kernel has no tweaks, edits, add, mods other than what came with STOCK kernel.

As mentioned few times there are users out there who preferes to run build/leak specific kernels.

This kernel came with FH13 build and only think added is custom recovery.

Nothing else.

If someone whants to have stock experience with no modes and/or tweaks they have a choice with thin kernel.

Hope this answers the question wheather one should stick to source build kernel or flash this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madscienist2:
ya thx agat im cool on this one ill wait for ya to tear something lil more my style
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ntborg:
Agat will this kernel work with the tweaks in your rom? If the kernel is good do you plan on pimping it out with tweaks?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Kernel works just fine with my rom.

I can't pimp this kernel. It is stock zImage file. Only thing that can be edited is initramfs and it has been done.

Other than that you can't edit, tweak or mode a zImage file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
So far I'm loving your AGAT kernels with the adds, mods and tweaks but is good to see you trying to satisfy stock users, you are a passionate developer and people need to appreciate your work which I know they do. Thanx for your immediate response I'm a nooby though a quick learner but I will progress and down the road I will have some roms in development stages and your kernels will be added tords my builds with your permission...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
6% lost in 4 hrs a good thing? Just sitting pretty
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] atlantadude1972:
It's not great...install CPU spy and see if your phone is sleeping properly...I installed this on stock FF18 and am having the exact same issues i was having on the stock and all modded FF18 kernels...The main one I see daily, is when I use telenav to get to work - for traffic, i don't forget how to get to work everyday - when I exit from telenav my phone isn't ramping down properly...It sits at 1000 mhz or 1200...So basically is using 90-100% of cpu power all the time...I see it in CPU spy...plus the warmth and losing about 1% every 1 or 2 mins or so is a dead giveaway too...A reboot fixes it and then it sleeps properly...

Some are saying there's an "LED bug" ...I've disabled all LED's so that's not my issue...And it appears like the LED's were working correctly on this kernel...who knows...

I'm going to go back to el29 if they don't come out with an update soon...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prguzman1978:
That's without tweaking your cpu?

That's without tweaking cpu?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
Can you add to your first post if this will or will not work on ASOP roms?

That would be helpful...

.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It's in the name of the thread and kernel.

FH13 repack kernel.

It's stock kernel and I don't think any of stock kernels ever worked for AOSP/AOKP/CM.

Only thing different from complete stock is recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
yes without CPU tweaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] traskers:
I know this is a stock rom with recovery, is this able to underclock/volt?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Agat is there any chance you'll put your theme and mods to this build (FH13). Alway found them to be really smooth and fuss free. The Odex factor helps I'm sure.

Thanks again for all the work either way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Is the rom out?

I haven't seen it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Yeah it's out. On sextape's site. There's a couple threads all about it. Rwilco is working on some one clicks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Found it.

Downloading.

I need some time off from kernels.

Trying to make a JB kernel but no dice yet.

So I might just make a rom for a change. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] t4d73:
Sweet! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
:) Out of thanks apparently so, thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Am I the only one that can't do a factory reset from either recovery or system? I can do it on the FF18 kernel but not this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You mean wipe/factory reset doesn't work in recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I couldn't do it from recovery or from within the system itself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Are we talking this kernel?

Because just did wiped it from my source build kernel.

Worked just fine.

And recovery is same so should work same way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah this kernel. I have flashed it several times to make sure it isn't a bad load but it always hangs at the 4g logo after a factory reset. I havn't tried yet to do it on FF18. I will try that next. I have been trying with FH13. I could do a factory reset on FH13 with your FF18 kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

OK just tried it on FF18 and got the same result. So there is definately something going on with the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Now you lost me.

What kernel are we talking about?

FH13 repack or other?

What FF18 kernel are you talking about?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
This kernel is the one that I can't factory reset with. I tried to factory reset on the FF18 and FH13 Rom's and it won't work. But if I flash your FF18 kernel with agat recovery it works on both roms. So that is why I say it is an issue with this kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arionfrost:
Issue with Agat Repack over Stock Rooted FH13: the issue with certain apps not installing from the market. It seems certain apps, mainly larger games that may or may not need access to the SD card, are refusing to install. Same with apps being restored from Titanium backup. Might be this is the same issue that happened with FF18 Repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I have been running the FH13 rom/kernel/modem all day and so far it seems pretty good. I want to install a custom recovery but not sure which one to use. I was going to use this repacked kernel w custom recovery but would like to hear others experiences first. I used the rooted one click method so I am rooted and just need a good/safe recovery. Not sure if just the recovery needs to be safe or if both kernel and recovery need to be modified to be safe from the emmc brick. Is there a safe recovery only that I can flash to go along with the stock fh13 kernel or must it be like your repack w custom recovery?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Can you name an app that you can't install from play store.

I'll run some tests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Recovery and kernel are the same on this phone. So you need a kernel with custom recovery built in. You can't use the stock kernel and get custom recovery. So the repacked kernel is what you are looking for.

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

I installed FH13 from a full wipe. First thing I installed was this kernel. I did not restore anything from backup and I have installed around 20 apps from the play store so far with no issues. The only issue I have seen so far is not being able to factory reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Haven't run into that one yet. Ben running since this kernel came out. Been through two batteries and it has not failed to wake up at any point. I used it on FF18 and FH13 since it dropped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Quick Weather, bubble (level), Gate Guru. Any program that installs into the SD card by default.

In my case I was using reCalk 1.7 rom, FH13 modem, and FH13 Agat kernel and everything was working fine. Then yesterday I was messing around with Odin stock FH13, tFH13 ROM, and i can't remember what else, sorry. Restored my original reCalk, flashed the FH13 kernel, and then I tried to run Quick Weather. I got a message saying it wasn't installed.

Tried to install it from the play store and it said it couldn't install into external or internal SD. Flashed Agat 0.4.4 kernel. Tried to run Quick Weather and miraculously there it was again, working normally. All the other programs had reappeared too.

It's working fine at this point, so I haven't changed anything since, but I know that before I started trying out everything yesterday it did work with the original FH13 repack. Strange.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Quick Weather - didn't find it.

Bubble (level) no problems

Gate guru - no problems

Where's my water - no problems.

I'm on tFH13 rom with my new kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arionfrost:
Must be a stock issue then. I am running Rooted Stock FH13 via the oneclick and larger apps that install to SD by default refuse to complete installation from the market after downloading. I get the "cannot install to SD" error. NBA Jam, Mass Effect Infiltrator just to name a few. I remember this being an issue with FF18 as well, and somehow you were able to get it sorted. Love your repacks, and you were one of the first recoveries to be "safe" for ICS, so I am still running with Agat's from now on. Agat is the new calk, in my opinion (hope he doesn't see this post...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I tested these on stock rooted FH13 using this kernel and had the same error. I flashed your FF18 kernel and it worked. So definitely something in this kernel. I haven't had a chance to pull your newest kernel out of your FH13 Rom to flash and test yet. Can you post a link to just the kernel so I can test?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Kernel need some ironing out.

I added to the rom premature.

Hate when this happens. Hope to be able to clean it up today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Well you be updating this kernel also? I really hope so because I prefer to stick with a stock kernel with custom recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
All my kernels have custom recovery.

My recovery to be exact.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah I know that is why I hope you update this kernel with fixes for the wipe and market download issues. I prefer this kernel because it is stock with your recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I can't add anything to this kernel.

It's stock and will remain stock.

Everything I could do to it is done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
So are you saying that you aren't going to update it with a fix for the two issues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Can you please refresh my memory.

1st issue was being unable to wipe in recovery.

What was the second issue?

I'll flash this kernel and do some tests.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah first issue is that you can't factory reset in the kernel or in Android itself.

Second issue is that you can't install items from the market that install to the sdcard by default.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Running my tFH13 rom.

Just flashed this repack.

Downloaded and installed gate guru and wheres my water without any problems.

Making back up to try wipe/factory reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Warboy:
Like I said, I get the sleep of death using this kernel.

I used Odin to flash stock FH13,

Then used Odin to install FH13+Recovery.

Then installed SuperSU.

Thats all I did.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You might want to try it on stock FH13 to see if you can reproduce it. I installed the 100% stock kernel and was able to factory reset and download the files from the market that wouldn't work before. I flashed your repack FH13 via mobile odin. I could not ractory reset or download the items from the market. This was tested on the 100% stock FH13 leak from Sextape. Nothing modded or changed (except SuperSU for root) and nothing restored.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
hmm I don't have any of those problems with agats fh13 but idk about the completely stock version
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Next I flashed your 0.4.5 kernel from your rom and was able to factory reset and download the items from the market. Still on the same stock FH13. So it appears that this kernel does not work completely with the stock FH13 rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Hmm that should be self explanatory right?

Great kernel so far
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Not sure I understand what you mean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adamw1101:
do you flash this under pda in odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Yes.

Or you can use mobile odin.

It's available for free for XDA users.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adamw1101:
Just search it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gogojons93@:
FH13 kernel came after FF18
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adamw1101:
Can anyone post a link to the thread for mobile Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Basically the problem is the stock rom obviously try redownloading from another source or a different versiob
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
also those along with all the other ics stock kernels freeze when setting them to Max 800mhz

:( so I must leave them on 1200
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arionfrost:
Nope. You are wrong, that's as clear as I am gonna say it. I have been running stock rooted and Agat's kernels since he first started doing them. This problem was present when his FF18 repack first dropped, and he patched it out. It's a kernel issue.

Check this thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721065&page=6
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
It can't be the stock Rom because the stock kernel and Agat's other FH13 kernel work fine on it. Even the custom FF18 kernels work. So the issue is definitely this particular kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
Just had a random reboot with this kernel, FYI
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
Use another kernel/rom until fixes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Oops.

Total kernel download is about 300 and this is first post about random reboot.

If no one else have it I think it's an isolated issue.

What rom are you on?

Are you using any other mods or scripts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
Went back to this kernel from 0.4.4 and all my SD card apps are working perfectly still. Don't know why they wouldn't work the other day.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delfin2003:
Hey Agat,

I'm on Blazer 1.5, FH13 modem. No mods or scripts. This is the first time I see a random reboot ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
May be it was an isolated incident.

Let's wait and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Hey Agat,

If you do update this with the fixes could you also update it to your current recovery 0.2.2? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I'm unable to figure out why it's not booting after full wipe.

I couldn't reproduce app not installing problem. Any app I've tried that I know uses SD card (whers my water, bubble level, gate guru...) installed without problem.

As for other issue I'm still looking into it and as of right now I have no answer.

And yes. Whenever I update this kernel it will include 2.2 recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
Curious, does anyone know why some programs like 2+2 don't show up with this kernel but change to the kuban kernel and it's back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I don't know anything about kernels so forgive me if this is a stupid idea. Since your 0.4.5 FH13 kernel works fine, could you strip out all of the non-stock additions and be left with a working stock kernel? Just a thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
There are not to many additions.

Simple explanation is:

Kernel (zImage) file contains 2 parts.

The kernel itself and initramfs which you can call a kernel header.

In initramfs you have recovery binary, recovery.fstab and couple of other files that define recovery and what partition it's mounting and how and your have init.rc wich sets some defaults and some other stuff.

There is no way to change anything in kernel itself.

For repack the initramfs is extracted from zImage file and after some edits it's packed into zImage again.

This is very short and sketchy attempt to explain how it works.

What I did to make this repack:

1. Extracted initramfs

2. Replaced stock recovery binaries with custorm recover binaries.

3. Edited recovery.rc , recovery.fstab so it would work with new binary.

4. Edited init.rc to allow init.d script support and custom bootanimation support.

5. Packed new modified initramfs back into zImage.

As you can see main part of kernel is untouched and I have no way to change anything in it. As for other edits I have used them many times for all my prveious repacks.

Now if other repacks did work and this one doesn't I can think of one explanation.

There are some changes in kernel (zImage) itself that causes this problem and initramfs needs to be modyfied somehow to work with those changes.

But since I can't look inside tha zImage file the only method available to me is trial and error.

And we should not forget that I'm still learning as well and there are a lot of things I still don't know about kernels.

Hope this all make sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] donsh00tmesanta:
