LOL!!! I've been digging through code and messing with the I500 GB kernel for weeks now trying to get this to work.. Cant wait to dig through the configs to see what I was doing wrong. On a side note, just 2 days ago I was on the phone with Samsung tech support for hours begging and pleading for any information on how to get this released or who I could talk to to get it released.. Glad to see it.. Now, lets get to work making our phone what it should have always been!

Congrats everyone!
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Umm guys, my 3G data works fine. I upgraded from bone stock EC09. Install went perfectly and everything works perfect.

After reinstalling all my old apps etc.. This thing moves smooth as butter. I've made a few calls and DL'ed a few apps from the market on 3G and all works perfect. The market has not updated itself as of yet but I'll wait and see what happens. RAM usage appears to be typical though it is showing 1MB more of RAM.. DL's and installs are faster than ever. GPS lock took about 10 seconds. All sensors work perfectly.

If we can get this thing overclocked it will be a beast once again!

I was also able to root with SuperOneClick... FYI =) =) =)
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
I feel bad asking you thins since you already set everything up, but do you think you could make an odin for it? The last thing I need right now is to mess with files that will leave me with no phone.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
That's great!! When you say stock ec09, do you mean "no themes or mods", or do you mean "from the factory, unrooted, no CWM recovery, all Verizon crapware intact"? Just trying to get the starting point right. And what exactly did you do when you flashed 2.3? Sorry for all the questions, but when you very well may be the first person to have working GB on your continuum your bound to get questions! :D
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
How do you even get this on your phone I don't see any instructions or links for downloads?
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Stock, rooted, with cwm. No mods or anything else. As far as I can tell it is already in Odin format. You need to combine the 2 big files together and put them in the PDA spot and put the file called Garnett in the pit spot.

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Links are in the OP. Just remove the word dot and replace with a "."
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Last question and then I'll leave you alone... For a while anyway! Did you use Odin or the pstlite from the op to flash?
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Should we restore to factory settings before flashing this via odin? I am running all stock right now but I really don't want to lose data like some people or brick my phone.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
roaddog665: The Verizon Tech I talked to managed to get everything working again! :) So that's weird that yours didn't! So, I'm up and working, and ready to start porting :P haha... I already got CRT animations (on/off animations that look like a TV :P) working, and overscroll glow ;)

Jaggar345: Would it be alright If I had you do something for me? Please and Thank you? :)

This will backup the calibration, whatever that means, hahaha

1.	From Home screen, select “Phone” icon and to launch “Dialer” and input “*#22745927”.

2.	Enter “000000” for SPC.

3.	Select “Hidden menu Enable” option and press “OK”

4.	From Home screen, select “Phone” icon and to launch “Dialer”.

5.	Press ‘47*68#13580’ to enter Test Mode (titled Terminal Mode).

6.	Tap on text box (“Touch Here”) to bring up the dial pad.

7.	Press 001 and 085 respectively to go to backup calibration data option.

8.	Press back button to hide keyboard (There should be “Enter”, “Left”, “Right”, “Up”, “Down”, and “Ok” key).

9.	Press “Down” key and press “Enter” Key to back up data.

10.	Tap on text box to bring up the keyboard and press 002 to exit test mode and reset modem.

11.	Power down the device by pressing Power Key.

Make sure you do this, and everything works! Then, go ahead and wipe your phone/factory settings...

Then, you can go ahead and do whatever you want to flash the package; whether it be Samsung PST, or Heimdall, or whatever... Just make sure it works, and everything gets flashed properly! Personally, I followed the guide in the original post and used Samsung PST, but that's just me...

THENNNN, see if data works... If it does, then great! If not, however, then I'm going to have you restore the calibration you backed up, which I'll tell you about if you wind up not having data...
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Tb: well, the tech I talked to was more interested in talking about Shogun and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.... No joke!!! So we need to save the calibration and then flash... And you can get the data back if it goes wonky? Don't think I can talk them into another phone!
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
Tb did u get systemui to compile? I'm having troubles...
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Yeah I can do it when I get home however if you could be in contact with me while I do it weather it be in the irc or in g+ that would be good because I'm really nervous about doing stuff on my own since I'm not as experienced with any of this like you guys are so if you could do it with me that would make me feel safer.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I used PSTlite for the upgrade. I followed the instructions exactly. However, I did not wipe my phone first. Just did the calibration back up then flashed. Everything just worked lol.
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
I haven't had a chance to log on to my PC and visit the links yet. In the guide does it say how to back all that crap up so I don't lose data. Hopefully I can look at it tonight and do it my self however if I can't then I will just have someone else help me. I have just had bad experiences in the past where my phone has been unusable because I messed with system files. I and I'm way beyond warranty with this phone almost approaching the 2 year mark with it.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Thanks... Think my problem was the backup. Just tried again and this time it showed "done". Still a little gun shy to try again, can't afford a new phone!
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I'm confident there is very little risk with flashing this. As with everything there is a small amount of risk but usually if you can get into download mode you can reflash a full EC09 package in Odin and be fine. I had to manually DL all of my apps and Ill have to put some contacts back in manually but that isn't a problem for me. My suggestion to everyone is back everything up with a nandroid backup, flash the stock EC09 package THEN do the upgrade according to the included instructions in the OP. If you follow everything exactly you shouldnt have any problems. Ill be online for most of the day if anyone needs help.

-Justin
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
I will be trying it tonight and I will probably need help or the assurance of having someone I can go to for help if I need any is appreciated. I'm familiar with flashing back but I usually flash back all the way to dl17 and then I take the ota that is what I usually do when I run into issues. Also has anyone ever seen the symbol with a phone a code caution sign and a pc before on their screen I got that a while back when flashing. Is that like a soft brick or what does that mean?
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Pretty sure thats a soft-brick. Its no problem as long as you can get into download mode. The Samsung PSTlite software and Odin are almost identical except for graphical differences (they look different). Everyone is here to help so you wont have to go at it alone. :good:

-Justin
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Well if tb can't get around to helping me tonight will you be able to?
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
I more than soft bricked a couple weeks back (i messed up bootloaders and partitions flashing the the gb port i tried), like above, as long as dl mode works, EC09 is the way to flash back.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Sure, just let me know what time. :D:D
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Getting ready to try again, usb set to modem, backup done. Did you use steps "A" (check Repartition, EFS clear) or steps "B" (check Repartition, EFS clear, and Boot Update)? Sorry to be so paranoid, but just want to make sure.
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
use part b

and as for NANDROID BACKUPS:

your nandroid will be useless until you flash back to EC09 (our nandroids dont back up kernel or radio)

just an FWI/AFAIK
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I used step A with no problems.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Mmmmm.....gingerbread with a side of 3g data! Tasty!!:D Thanks for everyones help.

And I used "b"...so far so good.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Woo Hoo!! Nice job!
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Thanks for your help! If I junked another phone not sure who I was more scared of, verizon or my wife! Lol! Probably could have got the other phone back up, but they offered a new one.
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Help

Hey can someone help me out doing this I am too nervous to do it my self and after looking at the guide I am a little confused.

Thanks

And guys, the magical trick to get your phone to work again if something goes wrong with the network is........

Turn off your phone, Activate another phone, then go back to yours ;)
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
did i read that right :P
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Okay tb I am running 2.3.3 but no 3g :( need your help
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Anyone else having trouble getting su binary to update? Mine fails at "copy su to /system". I've got root and removed a bunch of crapware, so probably not a big deal, just curious...
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Lmfao

So I got my 3g back with a call from Verizon and here is my story. So I get this guy who as well has a samsung continuum and he was trying to tell me it was a hardware issue and I was positive it was not (duh) so he transferred me to this girl. Then the girl has me read her the build number (Oh sh***) so I tell her ec09. She is like good your software is up to date and then she has me power down my phone and she sent a reset and oh wow. 3g is back :). I got nervous she could see my settings and the software thank goodness she didnt notice or just couldnt see. Well thanks for this and big thanks to Jaizero for walking me through.

---------- Post added at 01:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------

I think I am going to remain stock really no need for me to root as the phone seems a lot faster now. I dont really care about the bloatware.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I checked my SU and it says its already the newest version. Version 3.0.3.2.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Mine downloads 3.1.1 but fails to update the binary... Oh well, got gb and everything works... No complaints!
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
Try to root again with whatever u used, if not dl zip from superuser site for cwm. In zip is binary put that in xbin I believe (same named folder u unzipped)

Or

Open su.zip with 7z and replace update binary with one of ours (like out of any mod or rom zip for i400) and flash
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Used super one click, had to do it twice to get Root. May try again, but may just leave well enough alone!
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
I heard that^ :)
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Has anyone's market updated to the Play Store yet?
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
Yeah Mine did
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Well, wtf lol =)
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
I just started downloading my apps opened it up and it asked if I wanted to update, I said yes and now I have it again. Maybe try rebooting the phone I did that about 5 times while I was with customer support.
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I just installed it manually.
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
I guess you can do that too. Lol :) Im happy to see some activity now looking forward to the new roms that come :)
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Well I guess the play store is one thing that went right for me... Updated as soon as I opened it the first time.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Anyone checked RAM usage? Mine looks like it's only got 270mb usable.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Woops, sorry I disappeared guys, I had to do corrections on a stupid Chem 110 exam :P does anyone still need any help with anything? :P heh
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
I texted Tx and he said he was going to be writing a tutorial on how to flash this. Which would be good because its diffidently kind of confusing for those people without as much experience like me.

Also does anyone know why the kernel has the word dirty in it?
[Continuum Android Development] djepnguyen:
what are you discussing ? :confused::confused::confused:
[Continuum Android Development] Jaggar345:
When you go to about phone and look at the kernel version is has an odd version number. No complaints though the phone is working really well.
[Continuum Android Development] Txwolf1980:
I'll get on this, this weekend. Trailblazer, Cisogee, and anyone else who has the time, I may see about yanking y'all into Irc, since you've actually done the flashes, and I'm gonna need some first hand for the tutorial. Also, if y'all have a good Odin up, I will probably kang it for the tut, as well.

Worked perfect with me. :) Thank you so much! Proud to see the Cotinuum rise to power again. :P
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
Has anyone inquired about getting a CWM recovery made for this? I did some experimenting last night but ended up with either a boot loop or just no boot at all. However, I did reinstall with Odin instead of PSTlite with no issues. So... If you guys want to flash with Odin instead it is perfectly possible and very easy. Does anyone have experience making recoveries or know of a guide or tutorial to port it for our device? Id be happy to get in on the development, just need a place to start.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
The EC09 Imnuts CWM recovery works fine for me! No problems whatsoever...

And djepnguyen: we are discussing how awesome you are!!! Thanks again!
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I don't want to sound ungrateful because I'm not but... Are you hiding the source code over there too??? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hey TB, have you tried the stock music player since flashing CWM? Back on ec09 I had problems with it Skipping, popping, and all around just sounding bad after flashing Cwm. Don't know why it would be related, but that's when I noticed it. I like my music loud, so it was slightly annoying :p
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I have posted an odin flashable CWM recovery in the Dev section for those of us that dont have the recovery installed.
[Continuum Android Development] dfgged:
How do I combine the 2 files into 1 odin?
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Trailblazer recommend using "hjsplit" and that's what I used. Don't have a link, so Google is your friend:p Put the 001 file in and it will find the 002.

EDIT

Try this link:

[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I tried a couple different tutorials for the CRT animation and each one ended me up in a boot loop. I found a zip file that does the work for you but I havent tried it yet. (Im at my college library) Ill give it a try when I get home and see if it works. If it does Ill be sure to post it.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Just a fyi, it doesn't seem to like having its boot or shutdown animations messed with! Lol Start Up wasn't too bad, but the loop. Qmg file didn't seem to run. Shutdown.. Yeah that was interesting lol! It would run, but at the end I got all sorts messed up graphics, and then the poweron.wav would play. I'll tinker with it after work

It's down right now due to ciscogee having problems, but it should be up soon.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
So, just in case, has anyone flashed back from EG04 to ec09? Just wondering if it would be a normal odin, or if we would need to save the calibration settings again. I'm having a few issues with EG04, so just preparing for the worst.

Sent from my I400 Continuum
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
What are your issues?
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Random freezes: phone just stops then screen goes black, Batt pull to reboot. Sometimes happens multiple times then runs fine for a while.

Screen "jumps" to the right, not a big issue.

Odd battery behavior, (screen shot)

This was after a freeze.

I've been going through disabling apps to make sure it's not something not playing nice

Last night I shut her down and plugged in to charge over night. Got up this morning, unplugged and it wouldn't turn on... Pulled Batt and then it booted.

Nothing catastrophic, just some little things that get annoying.

Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Okay, because I figured out that superuser was causing the black freezes for me; updating to supersu seemed to fix that!

And for the screen jumps: I think that's a hardware issue that your just now getting/noticing, because I've had that since eclair :P haha
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
I was having problems with superuser not being able to update the binary, tried today and it worked fine... I'll try supersu and see if that helps. Want to get it working, cause I like it... And don't want to risk flashing back! :p

Sent from my GB'ed I400 Continuum
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
BIG, BIG, BIG thanks to Trailblazer for the supersu tip!! If your having freezes, black screen, trouble with "root" apps, or just generally crappy performance and your using superuser... Try switching to supersu! It will cure what ails ya!! :p

Yeah I was just gonna ask if anyone has been having sleep of death issues.. My phone sometimes just shuts itself off.. I haven't had any of the other issues you guys seem to be having though just the SOD.
[Continuum Android Development] Txwolf1980:
Ok. I have a tut made up for flashing the leak. I would like feedback on it, before I put it in the wild, since I don't have the phone to verify the steps, myself. Anyone who had done the flash, key me know, and I'll pm it to you, so you can let me know if it looks good, it if I need to amend steps.

I'm doing this without dealing with hidden menu for swapping the phone to modem mode, and without backing up calibrations, for simplicity. I'm also going to be using Odin with a copy of the combined md5, provided by ciscogee and the pit file from the op. Ok also be using Odin 1.85 for the "update bootloader" option. Let me know who wants to review.

One other thing. Can anyone confirm a successful return to stock ec09, for warranty?

Swyped from the land of unicorn porn
[Continuum Android Development] jaizero:
I have a few issues with this... Please dont take offense as I know you are a respected member of this community.

1. The OP contains detailed instructions on how to perform this procedure. I don't think it is wise to deviate from these instructions. If someone wants to perform this procedure but cannot follow implicit instructions then they may be better off waiting for OTA updates.

2. How do you justify writing a tutorial on a procedure that you yourself have never performed (at least on this particular device)? Again, if people are confused by the detailed instructions included in the OP how are they going to be less confused by this tutorial?

Flashing updates is a risky procedure and should only be done by someone who understands the process and the risks involved. I don't think we should be empowering uneducated people. This only causes problems including damaged equipment. Since doing these procedures voids any warranty how do you plan on providing support if something goes wrong? I only make this point because of the number of reported incidents on this forum. We are all here to help, I understand that. But IMHO avoiding these issues should be paramount. This forum is for developers, not for Joe Blow to come, flash something they know nothing about, and destroy their beloved phone.

Again, please don't take any offense. I am just voicing my concern.
