I can confirm what OP said. Official is available via Kies and is more polished than leaked one not a single issue with official yet. With Leaked I had random reboots, phone got very hot, SOD, battery drain, lags.

With official none of above yet both clean install. Also boot is different no sph-d710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jigwashere:
I have the rooted fh13 nodata and the boot screen does not have SPH-D710.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard220:
Have you had any wifi issues like it connects then it dozes off when phone is alseep and never comes back when you wake it up. To fix this you had to turn off wifi then turn it back on to get wifi to work.

EDIT: Just saw you posted in the other thread about not having wifi issues, ( Sprint and Boost latest RDF thread 08-23-12 )

I never asked for a pic or proof. You seem really defensive. I know exactly what your talking about. If you want the image its in the param.lfs.

Excuse me if I don't get the names right. I have installed agat's fh13, the one click rooted Odin and rwilco's no data odex zip and none of them have the screen you're talking about or experiencing what you are. After the one click, I was experiencing something like a fc but going into agat's fh13 recovery, wiping cache and dalvik and flashing rwilcos no data on top of it fixed that issue. I sometimes have a weird screen fart when it goes from portrait to landscape, but it doesn't happen often. If I do a full wipe before installing, I use calkulins format all zip in a safe recovery. I am not attacking the OP or calling him a liar. I'm simply telling my experience.

Edit: crawj was in there too. Sorry forgot mentioning him.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The Zips do not include a bootloader so you would not get that. If the modified tars were packed with an older bootloader that would also prevent you from getting it.

I have the FH13 kies update .tar file!!

I'm simply stating very clearly what I am talking about. I'm sorry if that comes off as being defensive. And thanks for that bit of information. I am still somewhat new to android and this phone, so anything that an experienced poster can share is extremely helpful.

Somebody md5 the official with the leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
The bootloader is not different on my phone. I installed the leak got rid of it because when my phone slept it turned off and wouldn't turn on so I unrooted and went back to el29 stock got the ota for ff18 installed after I wiped everything then I updated through kies yesterday to fh13 and the boot loader screen is the same it says sph-d710 below the Samsung galaxy s2. This is what I'm on now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
Did you do the upgrade through kies w/o wiping data? Because i wiped everything before upgrading through kies and I don't see the sph-d710 wording.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Yes if you use nodata version.

Ugh. I tuned out from following the news here for a few weeks after getting my ODIN OC FF18 working and had no idea something was coming until the OTA popped up on me this morning for FH13; it's already downloaded and whining to be run, which will break my root, right?

Checking over at the Development forum, I'm not seeing anything from sfhub and judging from this thread at the new sxtp-forum by rwilco12, I wondering if he moved on to shinier pastures or something? Also, the thread seems to be a week old and if there are differences between the leaked and OTA, I'm wondering how to get the latest version?

Is there a link that has the same rooted OC experience or am I going to have to find a recovery and muck about with TARs, etc? Or should I load the OTA already poised to go and then use something to root, provided it won't trigger the triangle or count? Sorry for sounding so n00bish. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
In the same thread you referenced, there is a one cluck fh13 rooted..

Which part of "Also, the thread seems to be a week old and if there are differences between the leaked and OTA, I'm wondering how to get the latest version?" was unclear? :confused:

This thread is about the differences, isn't it? There wasn't a difference between the leaked FE18 and final OTA, but what about FH13? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Seeing as how you had two responses that were basically the same, maybe you should work on typing your thoughts in the complete process? Don't be a *ick when more than one person is trying to answer your question. Um, thanks?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
Let's see if I can make it really simple to follow as to why I'm still confused:

1. This thread is comparing the LEAKED vs. the OFFICIAL versions of FH13. There appear to be several problems with the leaked version in the OP.

2. I go to the sxtp-forum and they have all sorts of FH13 packages, but the thread started 8/15 and the last update is 8/21.

3. People at Android Central were posting around 8/24 that they were getting the update via Kies and that the word around town was that the FINAL was different from the LEAKED versions.

4. Without sfhub's usual post - so is he out of the E4GT business now? - all I'm seeing is TARs and the link to the above-mentioned old and saying nothing whether it's made from the LEAKED or OFFICIAL version page.

I want a ROOTED OFFICIAL ONE-CLICK - so where do I get that at FOR SURE, please?

I'm not so l337 and h4rDc0r3 as to be able to spend forever mopping up from an old half-baked package, so all I want is a definitive answer. If I say, "This link appears to have the old, bad version," then is it really helpful to sneer, "The stuff is at the link you already mentioned"? It's like if I was asking if a restaurant has had a problem with food poisoning and people saying that they have food at the restaurant. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
You my friend need to lighten up! People have been trying to help you just haven't been asking the right questions. Now before you lay into me please understand your questions have been answered here and in many other threads when others have asked the same questions. This as well as not understanding what you were asking is quite possibly the source if other people's frustration.

In answer to your questions, no there is no difference between the leak and the OTA or the Kies versions. There was a difference in the one-clicks though. However, it only effected the unrooted one-clicks I created. There was some corruption in the TAR I used to create them (most likely due to the problems I was having with my server at the time). Garwynn however had a complete TAR and created the rooted one-clicks for FH13. If you follow the links in my OP the only available versions now are the Rooted version.

As for things being made with the leaked or official version? Pretty much everything is based off the original leak as it came out first and is exactly the same asthe official.

Now as to sfhub? We don't know where he has gone and we miss him so we'll try to make due with what we have. Myself and Garwynn. ;)

If you have further questions and can keep it civil feel free to send me a PM. I'll help you out as much as possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Removed. Didn't see Rwilco's response before mine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DirkBelig:
Sorry for being snippy; rough day at work and more work was waiting at home.

Thank you very much for taking a moment to explain what was happening and that it was the UNROOTED version with the problem. I'm downloading SPH-D710FH13_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA_OC.exe from the #2 post right now. (I'm so tired that I didn't even realize that the rooted version wasn't in the top post. D'oh!)

Again, sorry to be crabby, everyone. I was just blindsided by the update and didn't have the time to weed through a zillion pages to see what the heck was the deal. Thank you again for grabbing my nose ring (like a cow, not an emo) and pointing me in the right direction. Cheers!:good:

UPDATE: Flash completed. Should flames be coming out of the headphone jack and charging ports? ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jigwashere:
Yes. If that's not happening, try clearing cache and rebooting. ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] et4g:
Officials always better just knowing its prolly less bugs if any
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hero_Guy:
So out of all these ROMs, which one is the rooted OTA? Even though the differences are minimal, I would rather have the OTA instead of the leak.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I don't think anyone has taken the OTA and rooted it yet. Haven't seen anything on it..

Anyone feel froggy and test Chainfires SuperSU and see if it has an effect?

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for Garwynn, Rwilco or someone to get to it, if they so desire.. And let's not forget if Sfhub desires..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
For all I know the leak MAY be the OTA, but I really doubt it. If it IS the same, I don't understand how my phone would act one way towards the "leak" and completely great towards the "OTA" version (kies).

Could someone do an md5 on them and check? I'd also be willing to do it if someone could explain it to me, as I have no clue how to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Several people are pulling Blue's tar from torrent. Look for the comparison in the near future.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GiantJay:
I did wipe everything. Now my phones battery jumps up and down every time I do a battery pull. My phone was on the charger and cut out for no reason a few timed so I turned it off and pulled the battery and put it back in and my battery jumped 10% so I tried it several more times and my battery went up and down by a substantial amount each time. Would it be fine do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvick on stock fh13?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
I've never flashed a custom recovery onto my phone, so I'm not sure about that. I always use sfhub's OC odin wipe cache/data tool before upgrading or flashing to a new rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
wait, you flash rom's but not recoveries? Doesn't make sense since recoveries will/can come with roms.. So technically, you have. maybe just not individually..

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

As long as you're aware that the emmc bug is said to be present - Yes. I have without recourse.. Although I forget if stock recovery has an option to wipe dalvick..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
Every rom I have ever flashed has either been a leaked/official rom that comes with the modem and kernel as well. So, I've never flashed anything that has a different recovery than stock.

Has anyone else tried a battery pull to see if their battery life jumps around?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jigwashere:
Hi, everyone! I just wanted to clarify from my earlier post. I flashed {OC] Rooted FH13 Full Stock ROM No Data One-Click.exe (Preserves User Data) and do not have SPH-D710 appearing on my boot screen. I did see QBKing77's video that shows that variation. Anyway, it's simply another difference that I thought I'd mention.

I haven't had a good opportunity to try out FH13, yet. I was having battery issues when I first flashed ICS, so I'm hoping to see improvement. Another issue I have with my phone is what some call the phantom menu pop-up. From what I understand, that issue relates to a combination of bad screen and low signal strength. I'm still seeing the phantom pop-up with FH13. I was hoping to get better signal strength.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Ah, that makes more sense. I was confused.

I just MD5'd the leak tar from Sextape with this tar from kies and they are identical. The leak has three files that this tar doesn't data.img, cache.img and param.lfs. So this is not any newer than the original leak. Once I can pull it apart I will run one last check to confirm every file inside is the same. But if they weren't the md5 wouldn't match so I can guarantee these are the same, with the exception of the 3 files mentioned.

cache.img - only in first folder

data.img - only in first folder

param.lfs - only in first folder

Found 3 differences and 7 identical files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
I just want to point out to everyone talking about the difference in boot loaders - some of the OneClick's have an OLD boot loader inserted on purpose to allow usb jig resets, while crawj's tar's and obviously the official tar does not. This may be why some are seeing differences in boot loader screens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
There must be a change some where since leak version is giving lots of trouble and Kies version none.

I flashed FH13 leak again over EL29 stock issues reappear (SOD, and blank screen on some apps) went back to EL29 applied FH13 via Kies again no issues. There must be something somewhere. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
OK I just confirmed that every single file inside /system is identical.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Perhaps the method of implementation. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Wondering that myself. I Odin'd the actual tar file that Sextape posted and have not had any of the problems people are reporting. Did it from desktop Odin. I am not pointing fingers but maybe we should get a poll going of what method was used by people with errors and what was used by people without.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpapa:
Agree....had all kinds of issues with the leak and none with the Kies version. Did notice the difference in boot screens between leak and official. Something is different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
What method did you use to apply the leak? I can assure you there is not one difference in any of the files within the kies tar from the original tar, except the 3 files meantioned which wouldn't cause any problems. I do not have any issues and I have been using the leak since day 1.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

I also don't have that different boot screen people are talking about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I'm puzzled now lol.

I use FH13 OC Odin Full = Issues (most SOD / Blank Screen after calls and some apps)

Then last night FH13 via Kies = No issues (nothing yet will report as first issue appears.)

-----------------------------

Edit: if I apply leaked FH13 OC Odin Full I see the SPH-D710 below Samsung Galaxy SII

If I flash FH13 Official via Kies I don't see the SPH-D710 below Samsung Galaxy SII

So there is a difference between the two. Also would like to add file from Sextape from his/her/their Site gave a md5 error invalid even doing the rename thing so never flashed that one since is unusable for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I am starting to think it is a oc issue. Download the full tar posted by Sextape for me. Make a backup because it will wipe data unless you remove cache and data out of the tar first. Flash that with Odin and let me know how it performs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
That's the same I was thinking too an OC issue maybe... Hmmmm what could be?

I can't flash Sextape tar file it gave me error with md5 check invalid, downloaded 4 times already. :banghead: I did even the rename thing he/she/they suggested
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You have to extract the tar out of it and make sure it is named just SPH-D710-FH13.tar. Or you can use one of my Odexed tars as they are built on his official release also.

Which OC did you run? I want to test it also. And I don't have the SPH-D710 either.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

I wonder if it is a bootloader issue? Doesn't the one click use the old EG31 bootloader that has the ability to jig? I haven't used the OC before so I am really not sure. But let me know which one you used and I will load it and see what I find.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
So I need to extract the tar from the tar.md5? Damn it really? :banghead: :o (I downloaded the one from the sxtp Site...

I used OC Odin Full Erase.

I'm graveyard shift right now will check later if someone happens to test it first let us now the findings. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Did you pull the tar out of the tar? The actual tar is inside it if I remember right. You have to extract it and possibly rename it. I can't remember for sure.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

When did you download the OC? Recently?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
If I had to pull the tar from the tar.md5 then dint do it. :banghead:

Used OC Odin Full to answer your question. Check edit on last post.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I am curious as if anyone has had WORSE signal / modem issues with this release.

I have an Airave in my house, and I am literally sitting about 50 feet away from it with a thin wall between, and am getting 1 bar. I tried upgrading the PRL and Profile, and they don't seem to affect anything at all. I may try to go back to the FF18 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah saw that thanks. When did you download it? Recently or a while ago? Remember he was having server issues and want to make sure that isn't somehow causing a problem.

I just downloaded Sextapes file. Extract the tar out of it and rename it to .tar. You don't need the .md5. So it will be SPH-D710-FH13.tar. It will work after that.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

I had a great improvement in most places but for some damn reason I roam at my office now. Never roamed before there. But I will take it because I got a speed boost pretty much everywhere else I go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Thanks will check that one definitely.

Going back to subject: did you check/test OC Odin Full? I definitely think it's maybe EG30 bootloader then dunno:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
For ****s and giggles I am going to try the Kies based method. I have pretty much tried every variation of installing both FF18 and FH13 the most common is mobile odin and custom recovery. But my issues are all the same as many others. Slow glitchy OS that just eats my battery and I always end up flashing back to EL29. Maybe this will be my silver bullet....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Installing it as I type.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boXerrumble:
I wanna point out that I DID download rwilco12's odin OC FH13 full restore unrooted around the time he was having server issues.

So IDK if that would've corrupted the file a little bit, or what, but w/e it is, it seems wierd that flashing the leak/OTA gave me huge issues, while using kies to upgrade gave me none.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Hey everybody,

Just stopping in to offer some clarification. :)

From what I can see the FH13 official and the leaks are exactly identical. I haven't done a complete line by line check but they appear to be the same. As crawrj pointed out the system files are 100% identical. He also pointed out that the leak had three files that the OTA/Kies version didn't. The three files were param.lfs, data.img and cache.img. These three files generally won't be in an official release for several reasons. To understand why you have to understand what they are.

Each file within the TAR packages (official, leak or otherwise) relate to a specific partition on your phone. If you flash that specific file to your phone it will overwrite the information previously stored on that partition. If you look in the TAR files you will see they contain a modem.bin and a zImage (a modem and a kernel). The fact that these relate directly to a partition are why when you flash a modem/kernel it completely overwrites the pre-existing one and replaces it with the new one. There is no trace of the previous modem/kernel on the phone. Flashing any of the other partition files has the same effect.

data.img and cache.img are pretty self-explanatory. They are data, to be specific your data. If these were included in an official update it would cause a lot of complaints as all of your user data would be completely erased.

param.lfs I honestly don't know why its not in there but it answers another question. param.lfs controls your startup (to an extent). It holds the startup images, download mode images, stock recovery images, etc. As this was not included in the official release you should see no change on the startup screen. Whatever you had before will be what you see now. I personally believe Qbking just has too much on his plate and can't be expected to remember every single boot screen he's ever seen. ;)

So that all being said, in my opinion, Official FH13 and Leaked FH13 are identical (other than the three missing partition files).

Now as for the SOD issues some experienced with the OC versions myself and Garwynn put out. These could very well be related to the Bootloader. I'll to look into that a bit... In the meantime I have two alternatives to offer. I currently use the FF18 bootloader for everything. If I need to reset my Odin Count I use FB21. Both are available here:

FF18 Bootloader *USB Jig Yellow Triangle/Odin Count reset does not work with this Bootloader.

FB21 Bootloader

I will be building a site here shortly where all versions of the Bootloader are available for those who want to play with them. :D

Hope this helps clear up some confusion.

Hit me up if you have further questions that I can try to answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
So then could be the bootloader I knew it. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Sorry, I forgot to clarify one point in my super long post...

The Bootloader included in the One-Click.exe (OC) setups are not the same as come with the leak. In order to maintain the ability to use the USB Jig and other minor features the Bootloader used in them is the EG30 Bootloader. There may have been something introduced into FH13 that was causing conflicts in the original OC. I'm hoping to spend some time tomorrow researching and possibly posting an answer or solution.

Thanks for everything, you guys are awesome!

i was on the leaked fh13 but had shutting off problems where i had to remove the battery to resolve it...now i went and downgraded back to GB and used Kies to get official FH13.

I am wondering what's the best way to go about rooting at FH13, i've been reading around and trying to look for info on it but have come up with nothing.

any help is much appreciated!
