Question about my nandroid md5's. running Agats FI27 repack 0.6.8 if I recall installed using Lightweight v0.5 .

I have 4 nandroids on my external in case I brick again and can restore if needed. They all restored fine at some point using my StockCWM-EL26. 2 GB nandroids - 1 PacMan JB and the Lightweight v0.5 that I'm staying on now.

The only reason I can write this is because I had to create a new md5 for this ROM using an adb shell.

Why did my CWM all of a sudden say all of my md5s didn't match after doing fresh backups that I had restored before, even when I've always renamed my backup folders by the ROM name without spaces, of course?

Also, do any of the tar files mention anywhere inside, the folder name? I see inside the md5 that it shows the files involved in the restoration.

I tried out one of the FK23 leaks (really like some of the new features) but switched back to the Blu Kuban FI27. I noticed a preload folder from FK23 Mixed in with my BK FI27 files. I did a full wipe and factory reset including format system. Question is, how do I flash the new Jelly Bean go back to ICS and not have left over files from JB? Now Im wondering if theres other files and folders I dont recognize left from JB, which in my A- retentive nature is driving me. Thank you and hope you all had a Good X-mas
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I'd have to check the mounts or ask someone who already has, like garwynn, rwiclo, td, mattix, etc, to confirm partition sizes get reverted back..

The reason I just said that, is this..

I don't flash a kernel, Rom, etc. going back.

If I go back to ics from jb, I use a full tar in pc Odin.

I may be going the long way, without any real benefit, but I've never noticed any lingering folders or files.

But I can double check since I'm testing no data one clicks I'm making and already there.

I always had issues renaming backups and md5 always got changed. So not sure what exactly the issue is. Did you make a backup with a different recovery and tried to restore with another recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
I most definitely will do it the long way, if that is the right way. Im not in a hurry, and I dont mind using PC Odin. With that being said, if you do check , let me know. Im not familar enuff with what files shouldnt be in ICS, I do know preload ended up in my files on the Blu Kuban. Thank you MoHoGalore, I actually wanna check out your JB oneclick as well as Goodness but dont wanna have endless files that dont belong if I go back to ICS..................... I will try one of the ICS oneclicks if it does the trick and Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Yes, I did make a backup with Agats FI27 kernel that one ICS ROM was on. Flashed EL26, restarted cwm and did all my wipes and then proceeded to restore still using GB kernel. Never really had that problem before and I'm fairly positive all of my backups are good since I have restored them before. Before my brick, I'd never thought of using an EL26 kernel to do all my wipes until the emmc issue and now the GB kernel doesn't like my md5s at all.

I've had to adb from PC to my phone again to fix another md5 today.

Got stuck a couple times flashing a JB ROM that would freeze at the Sprint screen and left me with a stock cwm. Starting all over is so much fun.

I'm sure there's no real short answer but I just restored my Lightweight ICS and went nicely using El26 kernel. The same md5 I'd repaired last night.

Think I'll stick with Lightweight as my daily for now.

Are you getting the app cannot be downloaded due to an error? If so, delete and re add your Google account.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] primo7808:
i am not getting an error. it just says downloading and never downloads anything. i tried to download something small like get my msl just for the hell of it cause its nothing but like 47kbs. when to download and has been downloading now for 15 min. it just say downloading. it does this on wifi or just regular data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:
I'm assuming you've rebooted, yes? If so try clearing data on Google services framework...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You must have flashed agat's repack kernel to get custom recovery? If so thats your issue. If not, do what Mac said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Ha, well that's probably whats going on with the same symptom I have. I do know that I'm on Agats FI27 Repack, so i'll try a different kernel and check it out. I thought it was Google or my internet after 10 inches of snow.... Sat on different downloads from my apps on the Store and decided I'd just reload all my apps thru the store on my notebook and just send them to my phone. Worked just fine that way and didn't realize that they'd stored your downloaded apps like the Store app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I only know about issues with downloading app with agat's jb repack kernels. I think FI27 is fine.

Decided to try Sleshepic Governor Kernel thru Mobile Odin because I'd seen a post of someone else having pretty good luck with it. Reloaded my FI27 modem when i rebooted to CWM, restarted and went to the Play Store and did 5 or 6 quick downloads without any pausing at all. Thank you for the heads up!!

MSL Issues ;(

Hey there. For the last few days I've been trying to get my MSL#, with absolutely no luck. Now, I could tell you what I did, but narrowing down apps, most likely solve my issue, because it seems that there is no msl file on my phone at all. I've gone through terminal emulator, alogcat, getmymsl, I've tried to enter a random msl, and get it from alogcat and terminal emulator, etc. One thing I noticed is that when I type 'getprop' there is no ril.MSL anywhere in the terminal. Now, before you go on about calling sprint, it doesn't work. When I say it doesn't work, I mean it keeps saying I have over $400 in charges when I have only had my phone since October. I cannot even get to a representative, because whenever I call about my number, I am forced to pay this debt of which I do not owe. I have unlimited data and I barely call.is there a way to add the msl file or something, because this slow internet is p****** me off, and my reception isn't the best. I know I have coverage here, and I'm getting speeds at .06 using speed test. Can someone help, because its really bugging me, and I want my old WiMAX speeds back :/

Also, I'm running FK09, and I really would hate to lose everything, and I don't knownifnthere is a custom recovery. I don't like the UI of other mods, not because they're bad, but because I like stock touch wiz, so I can't use a custom recovery.

Thanks in advance

-Koolade
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
If you just use your terminal emulator on your phone after you get "su" and use your getprop command, your first ril property isnt your MSL? Have you tried an adb shell with your PC and ran getprop ril.MSL ? Did you su first in your android terminal and use getprop ril.MSL exactly? I just ran thru those steps and got mine just fine so I'm just covering exactly what you did.

Mine even with my android terminal shows mine just fine and my prl shows about 10 entries below as [ril.prl_ver_1]: [P:21092 ]

CM10 Beta 2 on Samsung Galaxy S2 (epic 4g touch) nightly 12/29

Ok First off I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone involved in this rom. I absolutely LOVE it.

With that said, I am no stranger to flashing roms, modems, kernels, etc. My dilemma is I have a E4GT that has been flashed to Cricket. I cannot for the life of me get my mms to work. I DO however have 3g data. I edited the apn-conf.xml to show cricket values and also build.prop.

apn-conf.xml edit looks like this:

<apn carrier="Cricket" mcc="310" mnc="016" apn="wap.mycricket.com" user="xxxxxxxxxx@mycricket.com" password="cricket" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms?x-cricket-mdn=xxx_xxx_xxxx" mmsproxy="" mmsport="8080" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" authtype="2" type="*" />

I have also tried this:

<apn carrier="Cricket" mcc="310" mnc="016" apn="wap.mycricket.com" user="XXXXXXXXXX@mycricket.com" password="cricket" mmsc="http://mms.mycricket.com/servlets/mms" mmsproxy="" mmsport="8080" proxy="wap.mycricket.com" port="8080" authtype="2" type="*" />

x's are supposed to be the number.

With either of them set, I can SOMETIMES get someone to send me an mms (pic) but NEVER able to send one. It just sits there saying sending...

(I have also downloaded http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=886882&d=1328354150) I took pap and chap from that file and added it to the system/etc/ppp file

I also changed the build.prop to reflect this:

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310016 (it is set to 310120 for sprint)

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Cricket (it is originally set to Sprint)

seems like this setting gives me the 3g? I dunno.

I have been all over the place (this forum as well as about 4 others) and I have tried MANY different ways including just messing around and trying different edits of my own. I do have an mms.apk that was given to me when the guy at cricket flashed my phone. It is a little different than what actually comes with the phone. (maybe that's obvious) lol. I have tried all sorts of mms.apk's, fixes, apn fixes, etc. I am about to give up and go back to my previous rom. I REALLY don't want to do that because i am in love with cm10.

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!! If screenshot are needed, please let me know.

This thread will help get you going, even though it's for the og Epic4G (not our E4GT). The needed files are in a flashable zip, but you'll wanna extract everything and push the needed files manually, as the zip includes Epic4G-specific tweaks (which may or may not hurt... but just in case).

My MMS works perfectly on PACman, along with any other cm9/10-based ROM (even works with miui). Let me know if you run into any issues... took me a while but I've finally got it down pat :cool:

Edit: Sorry about the somewhat vague reply, I'm supposed to be working lol. If only I knew how to make a flashable zip myself for our device ;) (seriously, anybody who does this will be an instant hero).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deej029:
Well since I wrote this (and sat and ate dinner) I have tried again to send an mms. I noticed that the mms.apk I have from cricket has a tiny mdn something or other line it in. I unzipped the 12/29 nightly, edited apn-conf.xml to sort of match the mms.apk and the build.prop again, put it back in the zip, reflashed, opened voice dialer "open apns" selected the only one that was there (which was cricket) and I sent a pic (to myself) and it went through. I also have gosms but I DID NOT USE IT FOR THIS. I am trying to send someone a pic but everyone is in a bad area right now. So I guess the real truth will be if I can receive from someone else.

Thanks for your input and your help!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Check that thread and download the latest zip. It contains the proper aosp messaging apks for ICS, JB, and even JB 4.2, all modified to work with cricket (along with the other changes you've already mentioned)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deej029:
ok something that is a little new to me is when you say PUSH the needed files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
The way I do it is extract contents of the zip with Root Explorer, then copy/paste what you need to where you need it and set permissions (ex: copy/paste the cricket-modified Mms.apk to /system/app and set permissions to rw-r-r). Then reboot. I seriously think all you're missing is that apk.

You can use terminal or adb but I've still got my nooby-pants on and wouldn't know where to start.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deej029:
ok...giving it a shot.

ok did this...4. Copy the fix to your sdcard and flash using recovery and reboot.

5. Once your ROM boots. Confirm the flash worked by checking the Lockscreen or Pulldown Bar. If the Carrier says "Cricket" the flash was successful.

That did not happen.

Still says sprint on my lock screen.

I was able to copy the mms.apk over though. but still when i open apn...nothing is there except the old stuff... (not my edits)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
That's why I move them manually, don't flash in recovery.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deej029:
Ok. So I got everything moved over. What I had to do was replace the MMS.apk in the cm zip file with the MMS.apk I just downloaded to get it to stay. (don't know what happened there) While I was there, I figured I do the same with apn-conf and pap & chap also. So when I went to APNS it was blank. I hit menu and hit restore defaults and the 45 and 55 APN was there. Since I already edited the apn-conf.XML file, all I had to do was choose 55 and reboot. I sent my self a pic and this time it received like the last time...but I was able to download it as well. So I think I am in the clear now. I hope.

Ooops...forgot a question. if I flash another nightly...will have to do this again? not a prob if so...just want to be warned.

Rockin' out on cm10 baby!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Just the apk in system/app and apns-conf.xml in system/etc will need to be done again. Everything else SHOULD carry over.

Edit: sorry almost forgot, but you might also need to delete telephony.db from /data/data/com.android.providers telephony/databases/, reboot, and reset apn's to make everything stick

frustratteedddd

which roms are emoji suporritive, on my galaxy nexus i use baked rom. and love it. so im looking for the closest one to it. the entire rom does support emojis. (mainly twitter based) im looking at cm9 but this is hands down the most confusing phone to flash.

so tell me yes or no.

all kernals are temp. and once you flash a rom you cant hardreset.. and you need to flash a safe kernal befor every rom flash..?

ive been reading and wathing youtube videos for almost 8 hours straight. and cant figure this out.

and its been so long since ive had to post i had to make a new account to ask this.

i used odin 3.04 to flash fi03 to my Galaxy S2 for sprint..

where do i go from here? im nervous cause its so easy to brick this phone according to a few people over and PPCG.

sorry this is so noob. im really not ive been rooting jailbreaking for a few years and started on winmo6!

this is just a confusing ****ing phone

Recovery sd data problem

So I just recently rooted and installed the custom recover for FI27. I made a nandroid backup and when loading back to systm i realized all my sd apps are missing. When i try to reinstall the missing apps my phone will allow some to reinstall and then it will freeze and reboot and the app will be reinstalled, but i am unable to move them to my sd card. Is there a way to easily correct this or is there a way to allow me to reinstall these apps like normal?

EDIT:

As an update i've tried going into custom recovery and factory reseting data and that didnt fix the problem :( if anyone could offer any insight that would be great!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jvaquera:
yes. the epic touch is an S2. i believe they will work but wait for a guru to back me up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
You are correct. The Sprint, Virgin and Boost S2 are all the exact same phone. The only differences are in branding.

The easiest way to root is to either download a rooted one-click and flash it or to manually root it using this method http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/HowToRoot.html.

Revert to original UI

Hey guys,

is there a way to revert to the original interface on developer roms? I'm not talking about the TW interface, but rather the stock android UI. On stock roms, you can simply go to sprint id and switch UI's, but i don't have that option on my current ROM. I'm on TW right now, but I really want the stock jellybean UI. Any help would be appreciated. btw,i'm using Shadow_God's Jellyverse rom, based on the FL16 leak.

I believe Samsung removed that option. Nova or apex launcher will give you stock/non tw feel.

Replace Custom Recovery with a different Recovery?

Hi everyone! I have just started getting into the whole rooting thing with my phone. I have done a lot of research on rooting, installing a custom recovery, and custom roms. So far I have rooted my phone via ODIN by following QBKing77's video tutorial on doing this for my phone (FI27 ICS) Next, I installed Mobile ODIN, installed the AGAT Custom Recovery (AGAT_FI27_repack.tar) Finally, I did a backup of all my apps/user data using titaniumbackup and backed up my stock ROM using AGAT.

I was wondering, can I install CWM recovery instead? Will the install of CWM recovery overwrite / replace AGAT? I was going to go with CWM at first, but wasn't sure if it would be okay for my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
There is no cwm for ics tw Roms like fi27. Why are you specifically looking for cwm? Agat is similar to cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rjdjstrand:
Most of the ROMs I am looking to go with, say, do not flash with AGAT. Maybe I am misunderstamding something?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You can flash a recommended kernel before flashing a new rom. Anytime you flash a new rom, it will come with a different kernel and possibly different custom recovery. So you flash a recommended kernel and then flash the rom. Read post 2 in this thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Berserker06:
I want to flash back to stock FI27 kernel after flashing AGAT recovery repack for FI27. Will i have to go through a GB kernel flash first using mobile odin, or can i just straight flash stock kernel from mobile odin now?

One the right track? My first install of new ROM

Okay, so I think I have a full understanding of flashing a new rom. I have done hours of reading on this site and the more I read I understand a little more. This site is so cool!

Below are the steps I am going to follow in flashing to Jellyverse v 0.4 (FL16 Base) First, this is what I have and what I have done to prepare for the new ROM

This is what I currently have:

Galaxy Epic 4 Touch running ICS (FI27) - Stock ROM

This is what I have done so far:

1. Rooted with AGAT Recovery

2. I have made a full system backup with AGAT

3. I have backed up all of my APPS/User Data using TitaniumBackup

4. Note: I still need to download necessary files to install new ROM - These can be saved to SD card location or external SD card. Is one location better then the other?

Is there anything else I need to backup take note of before installing a new ROM? Will the new ROM keep all of my Sprint setup? In other words, will I still be connected in being able to make phone calls, send text messages?

Installing new ROM (Jellyverse v 0.4 - FL16 Base)

1. Use Mobile ODIN to install the EG4T-EL129-directbootCWM file - After installing this file, from what I understand, I will be on GingerBread base (EL129) with CWM recovery? So, I will not have access to my phone, but will be able to boot into CWM?

Once in CWM, should I make another full system backup or is this not necessary since I already did this on my Stock ROM with ICS (FI27)?

2. Wipe cache in CWM - Should I do this right away before proceeding to the next steps?

3. Flash JB Modem (FL16)

4. Wipe Cache, Davik, and System

5. Flash ROM and then reboot

So then once booted in, I need to get custom recovery installed if the ROM doesn't come with one?

Please let me know if I am on the right track or need to add something?
