Also, my nexus s purchased off someone was made in Korea as well..

Maybe the factory unlocked ones come from Korea and carrier versions come from China.

My 2nd topic in about 20 mins!

I've just flashed Siyah Kernal but made a mistake and flashed an older version accidently (I flashed 1.3 instead of 1.7)

Now my phone doesn't boot, it gets to the loading screen where it displays model etc and then stops. I can boot into recovery, I was thinking I can just flash the other kernal but I don't have it on my storage.

I wiped cache then davlik cache and then installed the old version and rebooted and now I'm stuck

I'm thinking just wipe data and reflash ROM but I've never messed around with kernals before so I don't know if it's any different

Help is GREATLY appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
If you have an external SD, transfer the updated 1.7rc1 syiah to that, and flash it from recovery.

Should solve the problem.

If it doesnt, wiping and reflashing the rom, then the corect kernel should work as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
shall I just straight flash the kernal? no wiping cashe or anything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
I would start with that.. if any problems occur, then go to wiping.

I would wipe delvic and cache

Update Syiah myself a few times without a wipe. Although I am sure some would recommend a wipe.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
I've just put my external SD into its adapter so that my laptop can read it and I get write protection errors.

Can I just wipe data/factory reset and reflash the ROM to gain access to my phone again and then flash the kernal?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
first off is the switch on ur adapter set to lock?

Yes if you factory reset and wipe, then install rom, then you can flash the kernel and enjoy all the benefits!:victory:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
aaaaand I'm back!

I noticed the little slidy thing on the adaptger and put it the other way and it worked, having that "lock" is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

I'm all sorted now, I would be useless if it wasn't for the people on this forum

Thank you all so much for the help, whenever stuff like this happens I overact and instantly assume my device is bricked

Thanks to you all!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
LOL Those Pesky little lock sliders always causing trouble!

Glad I could help!

Hopefully your enjoy the benefits of Syiah after all your hard work! :victory:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisHRocks:
I'm glad you got this sorted. I personally love when something like this happens, you get such a sense of achievement when your phone finally boots again :D

ive been new to root for just 2 days.. but i have assumed i have bricked my device a couple of times.. but yeh I agree, when you get it working you feel like you are finally understanding how these things work..:victory:

i have just one issue left unresolved that I have in another thread, when thats fixed i'll have the phone I wanted it to be and I'll be satisfied ( that wasnt trolling by they way.. erm, assuming trolling is trying to redirect a thread to another.. im not sure what trolling is.. but i didnt do it lol )

Agat you're a great dev and although I personally don't know you I know you're also a great guy by the work. Dedication. Passion. And how humble you are. I'm personally not running your ROM or kernel now but I'm sure its great based on past experience.

Can't wait to see what else you get into and develop ;) *cough* jb kernels custom ROMs tweaks and beyond *

Cheers brother :beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thus far I made a JB repack kernel with my recovery and it's working.

I made it on Garwynn's request and he has it for further testing.

I guess when JB is officially out and we have the source I can make kernel for it as well.

Why not?:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
agat, flashing your stock repack FI27 kernel fixed my 4G download problem that I was experiencing earlier. :good: :D Thanks again for releasing this~!!

On my previous try with the Tersus install, I was running Tersus, source-based FI27, EL29 modem and gettiing ~1Mbps download and 1.4Mbps upload.

With the only change being the stock repack FI27 kernel and keeping the EL29 modem, I now get these speeds.

These speeds are even better than my speeds with the GB Calkulin v3.0 ROM + EL29.

All is well and running very smoothly.

There is, however, one problem. Whenever I try to install the XDA forum app, I get the following error message:xda app couldn't install on usb storage or sd card.

Do you have any tips on how to fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It has been talked about and discussed in few threads.

I never had that problem with app installation and never was able to recreate it.

There are few tips and workarounds like unmount sd card and than install or pull the sd card from the phone and try to install app.

However I can't tell you with certainty which approach will work for you.

Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Try rebooting then installing it or restore a backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I had tried rebooting but it didn't work. However, the xda app finally installed after I shut off the phone, pulled out the SD card, rebooted, then tried installing it. Thank you agat~!

Weird thing now, however, is that when I tap on a post to bring up the pop-up menu, like to give thanks, the screen goes blank & the app force closes. :( But at least I can read the forum and post by using a different method. ;)

EDIT: Couldn't edit this post from the xda app--had to do it via laptop b/c of the force close issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cd7:
I have the same problem. 4G is now good but XDA and few other apps disappeared the repack install. I had to unmount SD From system menu, install the missing Apps then remount SD.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
I had the same problem with the mysterious disappearing XDA; it also would not reinstall from Market, but I was able to quite easily restore a previous Titanium backup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
I tried your method too & it also worked. With my sd card still unmounted, I dont have the force close issue anymore when i tap on someone's post.

Edit: I just remounted the sd card, opened up xda, tapped on my post, and now the popup menu appears like it used too~! Yay~ Thanks for the tip! :)

FI27 not showing

I downloaded AGAT_FI27_repack.zip and flashed it in recovery. Rebooted the phone, still shows FH13, and OTA update keeps popping up.

Rebooted to recovery again, reflashed again, rebooted, the same story.

Should FI27 show up in the "About Phone" and how can I get rid of the OTA nag for FI27?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Flashing kernel won't change your baseband (modem) version or you build (rom) version.

You should see only new kernel version and it should read SPT 27 somewhere in kernel version in about phone.

If you want to get rid of that OTA notification you should flash FI27 rom and baseband (modem).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lindros_nyr:
Agat,

thanks for the reply.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4hn:
Hi Agat,

Sorry if this a silly question, just want to make sure..

EMMC CAP_ERASE bug disabled from source

Is this fix also apply in this kernel repack? so i can use recovery to do factory reset?:confused:

Many thanks..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
No.

In all repack kernels emmc_cap_erase is present.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FC809:
So you can't factory reset with this kernel? I'm sorry for asking just new to the E4GT coming from my photon, and I'm very confused about all this talk about safe recoveries, and kernels coming with recoveries. I'm just used to always having CWM regardless if im coming from different roms. Anybody want to help me out on how to get a safe recovery, so I can flash roms? I'm already rooted, and thanks for your work AGAT. I'm new here, but reading around I see you are really known, and a great dev.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Use mobile odin to flash an el26. Tar file. Look for the one made by chris41g. Just the kernel. After that use it like you would normally.

Until Samsung fixes the eMMC issue, never ever do a factory reset or you might just be making the next "Help, I'm bricked!" thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FC809:
Thanks guys, I appreciate it. So how do I flash a rom if I'm not suppose to factory reset?

Edit: I think I figured it out by reading the wiki. Will try my luck tomorrow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
I flashed the recovery on a nonrooted device D710 and was able to boot into the custom recovery on FI27 however while holding up + power button to get into recovery i get a flash then a screen with a yellow triangle and a I9010 model number isnt this a binary for GSM on our phone or is it just a splash screen you couldnt change during a port?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Just the splash screen.

usually it doesn't come up when you flash in recovery but anyway you can get rid of it with triangle away app from play store.

Thanks again Agat!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
something as important as this should be noted in bold on the original post....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It is stock.

And stock kernels have a bug.

OTA , if you take it, has a bug.

If bug is disabled we mention it in OP.

By default bug is present since Sammy never fixed the source.

And untill it happens in OP we will put a note only if it's NOT there and has been disabled by dev.

If there is no note "EMMC_CAP_EREASED" has been disabled than it's there.

I can list feature I did add and/or removed to/from kernel but I'm not listing features added/removed to kernel by Samsung/Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
I don't want to come at this at wrong way and if I did I apologize. I'm not familiar with your repacks but I had assumed tRec recovery meant safe; especially since many people recommend to flash using el 26, direct boot el29, and thirdly is agats recovery. Would it not be easier to repack it with out the recovery so as a deterrent for people to not wipe. It might be easy to get mixed up with your source built one and the repack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Recover and kernel are 2 different things.

Recovery is "safe" as far as it possible.

Recovery has been compiled with CM7(GB) source and doesn't have EMMC bug in it.

So if you wipe your phone in recovery it won't brick.

But if you wipe your phone from system wile running ICS OS than it would use kernel/source it built on and it might cause a brick.

So we're talking about 2 different things here.

If I put this in simple terms kernel has 2 main parts.

Kernel itself that runs your phone and kernel header called ramdisk or initramfs.

When we repack the kernel we extract that header, replace recovery, edit init.rc file to enable init.d support, custom bootanimation support, some sd tweaks etc and then we pack it back into same kernel. Thus "repack".

As you can see the main body of the kernel remains untouched and any problem that exists in Sammies source will still be there.

Kernel built from source in another hand can be tweaks, edited and cleaned as much as we want or can.

So in kernels build from source that bug is disabled. But still it doesn't make it completely safe because in every zip you flash is a updater-script and updater-binary.

If the binary is based on ICS source it may contain that bug.

When you flash zip in recovery recovery will read the updater-script and execute all commands in it line by line using updater-binary included in same zip.

So unsafe binary can make safe kernel unsafe as well.

Chris41g has build a complete safe recovery that won't use binary included in zip but rather safe binary included in recovery itself.

But that new recovery requires update to all older updater-script to include new variable which is recovery binary.

Hope all this make sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Thanks, that cleared up what I was worried about. I thought it meant the recovery was not to be used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You can use my recovery for almost everything.

But be careful with JB roms.

There are 2 recorded cases (that I know of) of hard brick when flashing JB roms with my recovery.

I don't know how many users tried it and if there are any successful flashes of JB rom but I would suggest

not to use my recovery for it till we know more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Has there been any clarity on the issue of apps grayed out that are install on the externalSD?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
Anyone else experiencing slow charging on this kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Never experienced the charging problem with a 'stock repack'. But did with some of the 'source built' versions. And Agat addressed those issues quickly.

Try Agat's newest kernel from source http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 see if that helps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
My phone takes much longer to charge than it did on stock kernel. No scientific proof just my observation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
I do. i learn to just move a few of the biggest size apps and the rest stays in internal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
I also found a way around the problem is to use the Kuban Kernel. I have tried all versions and have never had any apps gray out on those kernels. I love Agats kernels, just wish find and fix that problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Does the problem exists on my source built kernels?

Don't forget this is repack.

Pretty much stock kernel with custom recovery and I have very limited options to fix this kernel or to edit it.

Kuban kernel is source build custom kernel.

If problem exists with my source built kernels than I will take a look and try to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Every kernel I tried (repack or source) does the same thing after the second reboot from the time its flashed. The first reboot after flash is good. All apps there, after any other boot all apps on SD are grayed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Thanks for feed back.

I'll try to look into it.

Hopefully can find where and why it happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonSCSL:
Stock works perfectly just no recovery which sucks. Is there a way to get a kernel with recovery and no other tweaks at all. I have a feeling the bug is in a minor tweak or sd read ahead tweak or something like that that is in all your kernels
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Read ahead tweaks and such can't cause that.

However to make custom recovery work I have to replace few files in initramfs.

Custom recovery need a different recovery.rc, recovery.fstab and other files to work.

All mount points are set in recovery.fstab and we need them to be able to

run back ups and such.

I'll try to play with them and see if I can do something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Uploaded new repack.

Tested for apps2sd. After 5 reboots apps still present and working.

Tested for mounting in recovery. Both adb shell and mount usb storage from recovery menu working.

Hopefully you can confirm that.

Enjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
after flash rebooting keeps my apps there but right after i cleared dalvik cache in recovery my apps arent in the drawer and they look like this in manager. if i flash stock my apps will all load up again.

any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Nope. No ideas.

I'll have to do more tests and try to get that too.

I know when you move apps to sd phone creates a symlink to that app (like a shortcut) and AFAIK stores it in your data folder.

So on reboot it should reed those symlinks and be able to finde those apps agian.

Having limited access to the phone definitelly doestn't help at the moment.

But I'll try to figure that out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] No4g4Me:
ill try fix permission script + a zip align apks then reboot.

that didn't work... gonna try to backup symlink on stock kern then flash custom then restore symlink through a manager app.

still didn't work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I have to plead with Agat to do a repack with FK09. This JB ROM leak is excellent. I'm amazed at how far they've come on this.

Could your wife part with the phone for a few hours? We'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks, either way. You've done a great job supporting this phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You spoke.

I have a FK09 repack ready for test.

I'm out of town on business trip so I can't test it on my wifes phone.

If there are any brave soul out there who would like to test JB FK09 repack kernel

PM me for link.

It should be OK since I made the first original repack for Garwynn. But it still need some testing before I make it public.

Let me know if you wanna give it a try.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] celsius0010:
Amazing work! Seriously thank you Agat.. Just some observations... I work in Anaheim, CA and I get great Wimax coverage here at the office.. I can confirm a few of the issues I have seen reported.. When I am on this repack I get speeds of over 8mbps but when I switch to your custom kernel or Kuban's I get only 1/10 that.. And on the repack today I had my internal sdcard apps grey out.. So I reflashed Lightweight and picked a different kernel in Aroma and the apps came back but speeds immediately went down.. I'm sure you guys will eventually get it worked out thanks so much for your hard work!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] montecristo1:
Agat was working great until recently. I started noticing alot more lagging, freezed screens, SD card issues...I didn't mind and put up with the lagging...It wasn't until my camera started to get buggy. I couldn't record video. It will cause my Sprint E4GT to reboot...I had to initially flashed the original FI27 stock kernel to get everything back to normal. No more lagging, camera works great...back to normal...

I tried to uninstalled as much apps that I had recently installed...didn't want to flash stock kernel and replace agat...

I tried the repack agat FI27 kernel and tried a numerous of older ones as well.

I would also like to take time to THANK the developer for this great kernel...it saved me three times and fully restored my phone to its original state.

Any advice or recommendations will be gladly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
I don't think repacked kernel can cause slow down or lag.

I'm not saying it's impossible but it's highly unlikely.

The only change/edit in repack is custom recovery.

Main kernel body and functions are untouched.

FI27 repack has been downloaded over 7000 times (combined count) and this is first post about lag.

I would suggest to check your rom and other settings to try to figure out what causing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] montecristo1:
Odd. I tested my phone twice. I installed Agat kernel and within minutes I noticed the issues. I then flashed the stock kernel and everything is back to normal. No issues. I then decided to do a factory reset. Wiped cache and Davlik cache as well. I tested the phone for an hour, no issues, camera, you tube all worked with no crashes. Phone responded fast and no lags. After an hour, I flashed agat kernel through Odin, and almost immediately notice phone freezing, lags... YouTube and camera crashed. I decided to try a few other Agat versions, same issues. What's odd, is I had Agat installed for about 2 months prior with no issues. Issues just started occurring recently. Right now I am back on TW stock again, no issues.

Update:

My Samsung S2 was the culprit. After further research (Google), it was determined that the power button malfunctioned causing the random crashes. I switched phones, I have another S2 on GB. I installed an ICS rom and installed Agat kernel...working great.
