G Apps 4.2. I just downloaded pacman and that is pretty cool as well because it has alot of PA configs on it. I downloaded 4.2 as well. I had a feeling to go with the 4.1 download but i was just like what the hell...lol.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Ok. I went back and reflashed everythign except I did the g apps zip file for 4.1.1 and .2 and the video camera works. Only thing is that zip file did not install any of the google apps except play store. Not a big deal since I can go and download them individually. Also....When I go into recovery or reboot my phone it shows I900 instead of my 710...why is that? thanks for your time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fopedush:
Thanks for the tip! That string appears in a handful of places, so I had to engage in some trial and error. Here is what eventually worked for me, other Virgin Mobile users try at your own risk:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You flashed a kernel with desktop odin? That would make phone show i900.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Thank you, and yes I'm sorry but it is the ROM that's rooted while the kernel is stock.

I just get brave once in a while and reflash the Goodness ROM and end up getting crashes while in the initial setup screen, crashes and starts all over again. Never get thru the setup and logged into the play store to get Odin downloaded so that sticks me with the stock kernel and a ROM that won't get past setup.

I have had a good install and backed up in el26 but even the restore gets stuck. I'll give your way a shot for sure because I do like the ROM and wouldn't mind running it for a while and didn't have any issues yet running Agats kernel with it either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magic Matt:
Isn't Agat's FK23 kernel stable? I've been running it (on FK23 mind you) for the past week with zero issues (well, I did have a freeze one day but not sure it was the kernel's fault).

Can't flash a modem

My first post here, I'll try to get it right. I'm having a similar issue to CtDMonet and some others, but I haven't seen a solution yet. I have been trying to flash JB on my E4GT for several days. Everything works fine except the modem will not flash and I lose 3G. I've used Odin Mobile Pro, which flashes kernel and ROM but not the modem. I've tried CWM, no dice. I've used different builds, 'one'click', tar.md5, zip, bin... nothing. I'm left with a beautiful JB 4.1.2 image (FL16, atm) with no 3G. Phone and wifi are ok. Always stuck with EL26 baseband no matter what. If I flash back to GB, I get 3G back. Very frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Again let me emphasize the trouble is not with a ROM or a kernel or a recovery tool, but being unable to flash any modem. I should add that I use Linux on my computer, so Windows/Mac solutions (PC Odin, etc) won't help. I've attached a screenshot of my current setup, for completeness.

Modem zips from rwilco's repo flash fine using el26 recovery linked in post 2.

Flash jb modem zip.

Flash stock kernel zip.

Reboot.

Make sure you have kernel zips and modem zip on sd card before beginning.

Can I flash the one click rooted in Odin & get this fixed?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Yes, using a one click at this point would be my suggestion.

Which el26 kernel did you use?

Seems like there are a lot of "can't get to recovery, after flashing el26" posts lately.. Wonder why the small trend of these?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aheeejd:
Ahh, well I'm not sure now that you ask. I thought there was one. I'm pretty sure I got it through the cm 9 thread from original development, through links, but now I've been reading & looking so much this morning that the fu&%en phone battery died. If I try to get to dl mode, it says low battery can't dl. & when I plug it in I get the black battery with like the white circle thing ( like the loading circle) but its frozen.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Whatever you do, I suggest a full battery before flashing. There have been a few posts recently of bad flashes with low battery levels that didn't end up so well. Not that was a root cause but it can definitely make for a bad day.

Yeah thanks, I got a friend that has same phone. Gonna put a full charge on battery & get this thing fixed. Got everything on pc ready to go.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bongzilla:
Thanks man, i just upgraded to the FI27, did the one click odin, got root.

Which kernel (that has cwm included) would you recommend to backup my current stock state?

And then when i go to change roms, (ill either be changing to a CM9/CM10 im assuming), will i want to use the GB Stock el26 Repacked?

Is it safe to assume i will want to use that el26 repack everytime i switch between roms? (unless going back to TW rom)

EDIT: Or once im on a CM10 kernel/recovery, i can use that recovery to switch between OTHER CM10 roms without having to odin?

And i do realize after i flash the rom of my choice, it has a new kernel and possibly recovery?, baked into it.

ONE MORE QUESTION :p

If i want to restore my FI27 backup and im currently on CM10, i would need to flash a TW kernel/recovery beforehand right?

Thanks for all the info! I think i got the jist of it, just want to be sure, ya kno?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You can flash that el26 anytime you want to do anything in recovery. Just flash the rom zip you are currently running to get that rom's kernel reflashed or the phone wont boot. Cannot run gb kernel on ics and jb.

install abort

I know there's already threads about this but none had a solution to help me. I have the d710 rooted FF18 agat like qbking shows how to and everything works. My problem is that i can't get roms to install.. I downloaded a few mods from rom manager and boot into agat. Every time it will aborted install. Searched around and ppl recommended acs recovery and no luck with that either. So i tried flashing with mobile odin pro following all the instructions exact with el26. Still the same results... Am i just flat out missing something or should i try rerooting? I greatly appreciate everyones help with this... Im a totally noob i know. I'm staying to miss my rooted evo now lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Rom manager doesn't work with this phone to flash roms, recovery etc.

After you flash EL26 CWM Stock kernel by chris41g with mobile odin pro were you able to go into recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pompeii1275:
decorated nsstspo

I was able to get into the recovery then tried to flash cm9 and it soft bricked on the galaxy s 2 screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Yes you ARE missing something.

As Blues said DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!

Well, unless you want a pretty paperweight.

You should spend some time reading through the stickies - maybe this one - might help http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587607

IF

you have Agat's kernel (with CWM) then boot to recovery;

power off completely then hold the Power Button + the Volume Up button till you see the first Galaxy SII screen and let go. You will then be in recovery and can 'install zip from SD card' NOT install 'update.zip'

Select your ROM zip and install. ROMs here usually come with their own kernel that will be installed on first boot.

You can also use the QuickBoot application from the PlayStore to boot to recovery.

Just spend a little time reading through more posts. Especially the OPs for the ROM you are trying to install - if that developer suggests a certain kernel or install method FOLLOW IT.

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Did you follow this guide? http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/cm9-install-guide.html

It has a Warning: Only use a safe recovery to flash CM9. Otherwise, you risk bricking your phone.!

Again spend some time and READ A WHOLE LOT MORE.

IF you can get into download mode use one of sfhub's One-clicks and you may be able to get your phone back. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

i thought i read somewhere about not full wiping/factory reset because it can cause the eMMC?

is that just certain recoveries that you have to be careful with?

maybe i misunderstood also

im on Stock FI27 w/ agat 0.6.3, if i want to switch to paranoid can i just reboot to my current agat recovery, wipe(?) assuming its safe and flash

or

do i need to el26, wipe(?) assuming its safe, flash

thanks, learning
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I wouldn't trust what rom manager offers for flashable roms (I have never recognized a single rom they have ever offered btw). There are several submodels that are similar. All it takes is one bad flash and the phone is done for good. You should stick with the known good roms offered here and pay close attention to the exact flashing method that should be stated in each opening page offering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
El26
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The general rule stands, if you switch between platforms ICS/Aokp/Cm9/Cm10/JB you should always use the el26 kernel. There are still reported bricking issues when not following this between platforms, even with the 'safe' kernels.

That said, the emmc brick bug is not considered a problem any longer in any of the ICS kernels built from source. However, as stated you still need to pay attention when going between platforms and any special instructions for flashing.

So I picked up a Epic 4G Touch with a bad ESN today. I rooted it on FF18. I just want to use this as an iPod Touch so I need to disable the cell radios.

several questions

Ok First I got my cell phone, sprint samsung galaxy S2 flashed to boost, from a company here in michigan called greatvaluecellular. I have emailed, called, etc and they avoid contact to resolve issues. So I must try and ask here.

1st currently everything is stock. but flashed to boost. Is there any issues or special instructions needed with rooting it or adding a custom Rom that I should worry about? It's already running ICS but thinking of checking out a jelly bean rom or something that has better memory management and battery life.

2nd about 40% of the time when I go to make a call I get some "error 16" problem and end up having to hang up and try to recall again. how can I fix this?

3rd what are my options to help this phone manage memory better instead of a battery saver app, task manager, and fast reboot to get it from slowing down and/or locking up entirely?

Thanks so much in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
So this phone was originally a sprint phone? OR a boost phone?

I guess you are using a donor phone...

Here is what I found from doing a search for error 16 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17727442&postcount=19

As far as I know there are no special instructions to root on boost. Maybe someone who has boost can confirm that.

Also let your phone manage memory. No apps are needed.. What issues are you having that you see a need to use an app?

System Tuner Pro

I'm on FI27 rooted with 'FI27 AGAT_v0.6.5 with tREC_v0.2.2 10/23/12' and am trying to improve battery life. My battery usually does okay except when I'm at work. I often turn off 3G in the office because of poor signal strength. If I forget to turn off 3G, then I sometimes notice the battery run down quickly. It's not consistent, unfortunately, and all I see if Android Kernel as the culprit when looking at BetterBatteryStats or GSam Battery Monitor.

Anyway, I thought I'd try System Tuner Pro to use the ktoonservative governor. My very limited testing seems to indicate this will help, but I'd like to try adjusting voltages and make other tweaks. Maybe there are startup items I should consider stopping.

Is there an existing thread covering System Tuner Pro that a newbie like me could use? Or, would you be willing to give a few quick tips and tricks here?

Does the Epic 4G Touch have Push notifications? In the FK23 leak, I get a few notifications, like texts, email, and phone, but with apps such as twitter, I don't get notifications at all, and I can on;y rely on refreshing every minute or so, or waiting for an email. If there are no push notifications, is there a way to get them? I have sync turned on for everything, and the refresh rate is around 5 minutes. Any solutions? :confused:

Kernel and ROM Basics

Ok so I'm curious about something, I was watching Zedomaxx's root videos about his E4GT and I think I want to install CM 10.1.

Currently Running: AOKP Milestone 6 Kernel: 3.0.15-g700016a (which I don't know what that means) Android version: 4.0.4 Build: IMM76I Baseband version: FF18 (Sorry if none if this info is helpful, I don't know what is needed)

Issue: I don't want to brick the phone (of course, who does?) and I saw in a previous post you said that it is ok to flash a kernel via odin, then flash rom. I want to flash a safe kernel that zedomaxx has given, then rom flash. So flashing to the new kernel will get rid of the bad recovery and replace it? Or will this lock up my phone or be stuck with a bad kernel?

In simple terms, does flashing a new kernel have potential to brick the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
YES!

Since you mentioned you also 'don't know what this means' I would

HIGHLY SUGGEST

you read throught the stickies, how to's and tutorials here; for

this phone

.

Read through the Original Postings and all the way through the followups too!

Messing with the kernel and ROMs with out a full knowledge of what you are doing is a sure way to paperweight a nice device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
First off, you don't want a zedomax anything on your phone. That was outdated a year ago. Read the first three posts in this thread. That should answer most of your questions. (I am going to reread your post, but I wanted to throw this bit of info out there real quick)

Edit: thank you leaderbuilder for beating me to it and providing a better answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tidus2172:
So zedomax is outdated then? What a shame I used him for the EVO 4G and worked great....

So would you recommend following another person other than him to help with roms?

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Ok thank you. I've been slowly reading the material but not there just yet. So then just follow this post's way of flashing roms then? odin to the stock with cmw rom and kernel, then install via zip from recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Follow QBking's videos if you are a video guy. Even most of his videos are old now. Following post 2 in this thread shouldn't cause any issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tidus2172:
Ok so I'm following along with post 2, except I'm not using mobile Odin, I'm using PC version. I'm making sure before I press the button that I have everything correct.

1. Downloaded the .tar file mentioned

2. Drivers and Odin 3.07 installed

3. Select PDA check box and load .tar file

4. Press start

Then load into recovery and install custom ROM and gapps, and does gapps come first or does ROM come first? EDIT: Answered my own question. ROM first then Gapps (My bad)

Edit: Nevermind. Did some searching around other sites and found that the PDA slot is the correct one

Many, many thanks to you.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
Record a logcat. Get a couple fc's on the log, then stop recording and look at the logs.

There are a bunch of logcat apps, but I have been using catlog lately. It has a widget to automatically start recording that can be handy when trying to catch a hard to reproduce problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moogie522:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
Easiest way =

1. Put the catlog widget on one of your home screens.

2. Push the widget/button

3. Confirm the file name to save the log as.

4. Do whatever causes the force close (fc).

5. After you get at least one force close, tap the widget again to stop recording. This will also open the app with the log being viewed.

6. Menu > log level > start with what a terrible failure

7. Tap the entry make note of the number on the far left (the PID), you can sort the log by that number to help find what led up to the crash.

8. Do a lot of Googling.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

If you still have your zip for the Calkulin 2.8 on your SD card, you can boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvic then reflash the rom. This might fix the issue for you depending on how many changes you have made to the system.

The method that I was describing with logcats is how to start to find the causes of the problem. Reflashing is hoping that restoring system apps to their default values will fix it.
