$1?? Did you guys like buy a contract then get this phone? Because I use At&t's GoPhone plan, I just pay monthly, no contract or anything. But I had to buy the phone by myself, so I bought it off Amazon for $200. But I still think it was worth it, she's one hell of a phone! But I'm very cautious about bricking it, because this is my only phone. No backup..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malikfaraj96:
I bought mine back when it was $30. Next day it dropped
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Should have went down to At&t and returned it, then buy it again lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Yeah, I got mine on contract, then threw a fit about the price on the plan and cancelled, took it to red pocket for $40/mo..still, best 99 cents ever spent..:good: and Nitro, Dont worry so much about bricking the device, Ive flashed well over 200-250 builds/tests on my device, If you can get download mode, ODIN to the rescue..(Its actually fairly hard to brick the device)..Dont take that as your windows to go brick it, and then blame me though..lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] malikfaraj96:

dirty unicorns v6 sod seems to be fixed guys if someone is still flashing on this device can you test it and let me know tia
[Miscellaneous Android Development] roger_n:
Hey guys if anyone uses this and runs across any problems please provide a detail explanation on reproducing the issue and attach a logcat if possible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Roger is the one who built that guys let us know what's up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
I flashed it yesterday and so far there isn't any problems that I have ran into except for video recording but that probably can't be fixed.

latest and greatest guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] afme89:
I wanted to say Thanks to everyone supporting this device because I will no longer be around, check my signature :)

Good luck and I hope Samsung does update this phone to 4.4 or at least 4.1 JB..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Just a heads up...check the clock.. www.pac-rom.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Running PAC 4.4 for my exhilarate, love it! So far its running smooth.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Please be careful with security/notification access..FCS till forced reboot..known bug being addressed now..thanks..thread will be up tonight..

That boot ani was created by yours truly,hope you like that as well..?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Ah alright, that boat animation is sure something! What an awesome thing to boot up the phone to. Lol even loving the pac-man game.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Yeah..the PAC game has been in the release for awhile, the boot ani on the other hand, is a work of greatness *cough..cough*..lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Oh, this is the first PAC ROM I've flashed, I had no clue of the game. Its a very impressive boot ani, I actually enjoy looking at my phone while it boots :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Hey ink, I flashed the most recent version of PAC and I keep getting a message popping up says call forwarding is active. And I've tried changing all the call forwarding settings but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any thoughts?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Yeah..Its the same bug cm is getting...Seems to be device specific for the blaze and i577...Its happening on any rom thats using cm device files...There are many people looking into it...Nightlys should be off limits until it gets figured out.. Roll back to prior 3/3 nightly for any rom should help but you will still get the icon in notification. for some ungodly reason it sticks even after flashing back..The popups go away after flashing back and adjusting forwarding settings again..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ktempleton:
Well guys I broke my exhilarate last Saturday and instead of getting the same device I've upgraded to a note three I'll leave this thread open for you guys and I'll still be here for questions but Ill be moving on from this device I've learned a bunch since I first started this thread can't wait to actually have a forum haha later guys
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
I wanna be the first to say thank you [MENTION=4878501]ktempleton[/MENTION] for everything you've done for this device and the time,effort and money you've spent to keep it alive...it is appreciated...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
Definitely appreciate the time and effort you've put into this device and your patience with helping me get setup to help out on some things.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
I'll thank you too [MENTION=3941399]j3r3goss[/MENTION] .. You deserve it as well. [MENTION=837884]carv[/MENTION]sdriver wouldn't have been able to get us cm official without the both of you..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Hey guys, what's the easiest way to roll back to either stock ics or gingerbread for the exhilarate? My girlfriend is taking my phone for a couple weeks and I don't really want the blonde to screw up my phone lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Find the stock tar in this thread and push it via Odin..straight back to stock ya go..(@j3r3goss has posted a stock tar with updated radio recently here,I'd use that)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Okay i have downloaded this file and how should i push it through ODIN? Should i unzip it? Also would I flash it under PDA?

Edit:I flashed it and it succesfully flashed, now at the AT&T rethink possible screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
Yes, yes and yes. And as usual make sure to uncheck all except auto reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
You need to reboot into recovery and factory reset and wipe the cache and dalvic..or it may sit there and vibrate..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
Sometimes you still have to do a "hold vol - and power reset" a couple times as well if it freezes on the AT&T screen.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Yeah, thanks guys. I'm running back stock and man I forgot what it was like.. All this bloatware is killing me lol. But I got everything all set up and backed up. Good to go :thumbup:

Data service problems

I just updated to the new 4.4.2 KK pac-man, and I am having trouble with the data service. the Wi-Fi works but when you turn Wi-Fi off, data doesn't work.

Samsung exhilarate w/ pac-man 03/24/14 rom, TWRP 2.6.?? recovery. I have also reinstalled with the radio file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Try philz recovery and make sure your apns are set right.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Is this the best rom for overclocking, undervolting, and smartass v2? I miss the battery sipping followed by ramping up to ludicrous speed :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
This is a general thread, you need to clarify what ROM you are taking about?

.....If I had even a quarter from everyone I've helped....Maybe I could stay stocked in beer.....-sent from a very xposed nexus 7-
[Miscellaneous Android Development] headsupsevenup:
Right, what I meant to ask was this:

Is CM10.1 the latest version that works with all of the following modifications: oveclocking, undervolting, smartassv2 governor, and internal/sd swap? Does any KitKat version have all of that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Search this thread for somcom3xs kernel he posted...believe its oc.there is also Thomas Raines thread for lightning zap,search that too..I also have a 4.4 SD swap zip in one of my threads (but I believe I posted it here as well)..."search this thread" is a very nice function..?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] malikfaraj96:
Has everyone moved on?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
No...why? Most talk has moved to ROM specific threads though

[Miscellaneous Android Development] malikfaraj96:
That's probably why and lol u deserve it. I left my exhilarate and never bothered to say thanks to anyone so thanks a lot to everyone for literally all the support on the phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
I got a much better device but still working on the i577 until it breaks..than I will probably move on..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] XxBriernxX:
I'm getting one of these phones very soon in the mail and it's stuck in a boot loop. guy said he dropped it and it just wouldn't boot. he said it was rooted and also loaded with a custom recovery. is there a fix for a dropped boot loop lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
Flash stock software, which is back one page. It will put it back to stock and it will boot if its a software issue. Now dropping a phone and have it go into a boot loop.. Sounds more like a hardware problem to me, but good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] XxBriernxX:
if it turns out to be a hardware problem what would cause that then? never heard of dropping a phone before and it go into a boot loop:eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
I havent either, but its always best to restore stock and bring it up yourself anyways..Ensures a clean environment
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Argh...I fell victim to my own newbie stupidity and lack of experience with Android devices. I wanted to flash an AT&T branded SGH-i577 that was running a Consumer Cellular 4.04 ROM back to a stock ROM, but when using Odin (1.85) I flashed in PHONE mode instead of PDA mode. Now the phone is stuck in boot loop. Shows the Samsung logo for a second, then reboots. Unable to get it into recovery mode using VOL+, - and PWR. Also not able to do so with 'adb reboot recovery", because the USB connection is not established. Is there still a way out of this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Get back into Odin and flash the stock rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Each reboot cycle takes about 10 seconds, and in that time my laptop never sees an active USB connection...and consequently Odin never sees the phone connected. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
You need to put it in download mode if using odin
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
USB jig may be your only solution, unless you are handy with jtag
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Before the bad flash, I have only been able to put the phone in recovery mode using buttons (VOL +, VOL -, PWR). Right now, that no longer works, it simply keeps rebooting.

The download mode did not work via buttons, (VOL-/PWR/HOME). The only way I could get it in download mode was via 'adb reboot download'. But that method is currently not an option, as the phone doesn't connect to my laptop anymore during these quick reboot cycles.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Here's a link to the usb jig I mentioned. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271304154674&alt=web
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Nice! I will give that a shot. Thanks! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
Pull the battery, reinstall the battery, plug the USB cable into the phone, hold vol+/ vol- and plug the cable into the computer. Best way i know to get into dl mode. If that doesn't work the single should... Have had to use it a couple of times.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Button-method does not work...Jig is on its way here. Thx!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] j3r3goss:
Did you try the method i described above using the USB cable? I'm curious to see if it works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
Yes... no dice. The phone powers up when plugging the USB cable into the computer, but then goes into the endless 10 second reboot cycle. Windows never sees a USB device connected.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Try holding the download buttons and then plugging in a wall charger your battery shouldn't be installed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
In that case, the phone goes into about a 3 second reboot cycle where it vibrates every 3 seconds, but no Samsung logo appears. BTW, never have been able to get the phone into download mode via buttons, only recovery mode. Before I did the bad flash, I could get it into download mode only via the 'adb reboot download" command.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
I updated the uber kernel if anyone is still around.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mobidutch:
The Jig worked like a charm. Flashed back to stock, all is well. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Glad to hear.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
Does it work with any 4.4 ROM?

~~~~~

Samsung Exhilarate (SGH-i577)

ROM: CM11 Nightly 05/22/14

Kernel: CyanogenMod

GApps: BaNkS Minimal 05/16/14

Recovery: Philz Touch 6.19.2 (CWM 6.0.4.7)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Should work on carbon, your welcome to try it on any other ROM though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I played around with all three radio files; UCLD2 (GB), UCLH3 (ICS), and UCAMK1 (ICS). The UCLD2 radio does allow different selections of "preferred network type" other than "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)", including several that shutoff LTE. However, I was experiencing some other wireless network connectivity problems so I've settled on the UCAMK1 radio.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
There is no such thing as a JB radio for our device...Just a heads up..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
Thanks for the correction! I meant to say ICS. I corrected my post.

Bricked this hard-to-brick phone

I was sleep deprived and managed to flash a wrong kernel onto my Exhilarate and I can't figure out the correct sequence of holding buttons, plugging unplugging etc to get into Odin mode. Phone is nonresponsive but in the past with Galaxy phones there's always been an emergency loader mode. I have a Galaxy Key dongle somewhere but I can't find it. Do I need it or am I just not doing the right button sequence or did I actually hard brick it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
It's a pita to get into Odin through the button combo, but it's possible. Your better off using that USB jig.

Sent from my XT1045
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
Yeah that's the same thing that happened when I ordered it. Trying to figure out the button combo was so frustrating I ordered the jig but by the time it came, I had managed to perform the button combo so I just stuck it somewhere. Now that I need it I can't figure out where I stuck it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
To get into Odin mode - plug OEM USB cable into motherboard USB port on PC. Hold down volume up and volume down keys while plugging micro-USB into device.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
That's the primary method I've been trying. Before I put CWM on it, that dropped it right into Odin mode the first try but now that it's got this wrong kernel on it, it's nonresponsive. Is there a trick to the timing? Will a jig throw it into Odin mode even if this button combo method doesn't? Could I have possibly hard bricked it? I've always been able to get Galaxy phones to pop into Odin mode eventually but when it feels like you've tried everything you really wonder if it isn't completely stuck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
If you time it, you can release the buttons when you see the Samsung logo and put them back for after the logo is gone for 7-10 seconds

Sent from my XT1045
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
If I saw the Samsung logo I'd be a happy camper. Unfortunately the phone is completely nonresponsive.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
The jig is your only chance mate.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
Well the jig didn't work so I'm swapping mainboards. I'm sure the mistake I made was with the kernel but just to be sure, what version of CWM should I be using if I'm putting a 4.4 Carbon ROM on there? Or should I be using CWM at all?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
Cwm 6.0.5.0

If you want to flash carbon, flash a nightly from a month ago.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
Do the current Carbon nightlies still have issues? I was planning on flashing the latest this evening. Been running the July 31st build for awhile with no issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Somcom3X:
I've heard it hasn't been booting in a month.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
If you happen to use the PA GApps "Play Services / Play Games Update Module" you need to run CWM 6.0.4.6 (see hyperlinks in my signature). For some reason that particular GApps script won't run on some of the newer CWM recoveries.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
That's what I was thinking. Is there any particular date that could be considered "stable" or "release candidate" even? Are CM builds any more stable? I see they have no release candidates for i577 either. Also, what's the best OC kernel for this device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
The July 31st Carbon works great with the Uber kernel by [MENTION=4802051]Somcom3X[/MENTION] (see hyperlink in my signature).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
Thanks I'll just clone your whole set since I have your assurance it's been working good for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
Okay well UCAMK1 only gives me data when I use wap.cingular and voice call (out) quality is terrible. I still have a Cingular SIM might that actually be part of it? What other radios should I try for AT&T? Also battery life is pretty bad is there an automatic underclocking app that works with the kernel? Performance is real good but I haven't seen an LTE icon, only H+ is that normal?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I have not had any issues with the UCAMK1 radio. The other ICS radio zip (UCLH3) is located here (http://d-h.st/search?search_by=1&search_for=i577). The original GB radio used to be on Dev-Host as well, but I do not see it there now (I tried to attached it here but it is slighter larger than the allowed zip size). I agree that battery life is not very good, especially over-clocked at 1512 MHz, but the performance is quite nice; I carry an extra battery. CarbonRom has a built-in Performance module in settings which allows you to set the maximun CPU speed, so you can under-clock if you like to try and save battery. I do see LTE with the UCAMK1 radio. My SIM is ATT, I assume that could be an issue if the SIM was manufatured before LTE existed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Nitro1max1:
I'm using the same setup you guys are talking about, Carbon ROM, UCAMK1 radio, Uber kernel over clocked at 1.5ghz. And I also don't see the LTE icon using this setup, my sim is AT&T and is an LTE compatible. But I only ever get H+ also

[Miscellaneous Android Development] evilwise:
UCLH3 works much better for me, thanks. I see a big radio megafile there so I may eventually try some other ones to see if it lets me on the LTE network. I've had this sim since EDGE was just starting to be available and I was told 3g wouldn't work on it but it does. Probably it just doesn't log into ATT.LTE though. This little guy is pretty darn fast, especially at this sub-hd resolution. As with many other Exhilarate users I made the switch because my Captivate pretty much finally wore out after years of heavy use. I wanted something that would just fit right back into my wallet and I must say this phone is like a super Captivate. They took a bunch of extra parts from flagship phones of years past and dumped them into a midrange phone that can be had super cheap. It's great. Too bad the only extended battery is like $90 for some reason. I may buy one for a Blaze and just deal with not having a door on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I agree. I ended up with this phone because it was the only reasonably priced, "small" phone, offered through my corporate plan a year ago. I upgraded from a Blackberry. Android 4.4.4 is a huge improvement over stock ICS thanks to several XDA developers, including, but not limited to, the folks listed below. A huge thanks to you guys for keeping this device alive!

I'm still having pretty bad voice issues with the phone. I'd like to try the UCLD2 radio but it seems to have vanished. Is it even KK compatible? Carbon wouldn't install with the stock radio - is that what UCLD2 is?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
UCLD2 is the original Gingerbread radio. I have a flashable zip. I'll try to send it to you via PM. It's too big to post here.
