yes that's very strange indeed Stryke - you almost want it to happen again so you can try and figure it out but at the same time its such an odd thing to happen that you hope it just doesn't do it again - lol -

Stuck on boot

Hey guys,

I need some help ASAP!!!

Problem:

1) My phone for the past few days has been giving me issues with the power button. I looked up references on how to fix here on XDA. I took the phone apart & the button just seemed to be stuck. I cleaned the phone & pulled out the tab lightly (hoping it would fix the issue) yesterday, which seemed to work. Today phone started cycling again & got stuck in the boot loader. I have removed battery several times but it does not load up.

2) Im running CM10.1 from a EL19 Kernal which i have been using for almost 4 months. At this time I dont have my external memory card (had to remove it to run a program for my wifes phone) so i dont have any of my backups to restore.

3) But i need my phone like now!!! I use my phone for work & i cant be without it all day.

Please help
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I think your only real option at this point is to try to Odin back to stock for the time being, until you can get your backups. Also try using gravity screen off from the market to minimize power button issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
I was gonna ask about the settings for that gravity app - I like it but there are so many settings - I'd like to be able to set it up so quite simply, screen turns on when I pick it up and goes off when I set it down - I've come close to that but I can't seem to get it set just rite - any insite on best settings to achieve this ?

I believe you will just have to play with the angle settings until you find a setting that works for you..

I myself have used this app for months... but I use the proximity sensor...when I turn my phone face down it shuts off... I use a slide two piece case.. so this option is best for me...

FYI... the battery drain is minimal...for me atleast...

If you would like.... I can play around with the app and see what a good angle setting is on my device.. let me know..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I only check the any direction checkbox (pictured) and use the 3minit app to change the dropdown shortcut to Lock (pictured, top line next to date).

The checkbox was because I noticed the screen wouldn't shut off while in my pocket.

The Lock shortcut is so I can lock the phone right before I put it down face-up. Face-down isn't an issue but if you don't lock it first and place it face-up, it won't go to sleep. There's probably a setting for that but I've just been doing it my way. :rolleyes:

Edit: Correction, there is also a checkbox for when the phone is lying face-up also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
that would be great - I'm messing with it too but can't get it just rite - lol - 99% of the time I set my phone down face up - I guess it does go in my pocket quite a bit too - I guess screen off when set down and come on when I pick it up - and then just off whenever it goes into my pocket - if you come up with anything please share - greatly appreciated :D:D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
I just ran it through about 4 different setups... and I think.... screen off in any direction in pocket.. with laying on table checked ( I left the degrees at10 )...will be the best setup for what yyou're wanting...

If you want it to turn on when you pick it up off the table... check screen on by motion.. ( it will consume more battery )..I find it more user friendly as well as battery friendly to leave screen on by motion off... when you pick it up off the table I just swipe over the proximity sensor to turn the screen on...

My setup is just screen off at any angle in pocket and headset checked.... but my case keeps my screen from rubbing when face down.. so I just put the phone down that way.. when I pick it up... it turns on... if left face up with this setting it will follow the screen time out in phone settings..

Hope this helps... if you have any questions, just shoot... I'm online about 20 times a day.. lol. Probably more..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
I will give them settings a try - thanks for messing around with it - greatly appreciated !!!

I rarely use them, as I always have my tablet with me and use the browser..

But have you recently updated the app/apps..

If so, I would go back to a previous version. If not, then maybe wiping just the app/apps cache in app manager will help.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, I'm sure you already thought of these ideas, but just wanted to throw them out there.

On a side note... my forum's button on the home page never works on my tab, but that I assume is my browser being funky. ( but I love my aosp browser and will never change, lol )

Also today... it won't let me thank anybody.. says I've used my 8 already... tried signing out and back in... as that usually fixes it.

Who knows.. maybe I used more than I thought after midnight.. lol

Edit... how is gravity screen off working for ya...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
yea I tried clearing caches and data - no luck - it was fine last note - lol - gravity working a lot more to my liking now thank you for asking - still a couple tweaks to be made but your settings got me going in the rite direction :beer:

Calls not coming in and Sprint can't reset my phone

I'm a little lost on what to do so I'm hoping there are some XDA brains out there that can help.

XDA's search is down at the moment so I'm having to kind of punt here because I really need my phone to work again.

My Epic 4G Touch is running SuperNexus and has been perfectly for several months now.

I'm having some trouble now and while I could post in SuperNexus thread, the problem seems like it might be a bit more general in nature

The phone itself seems to be fine. I can text and get my mail and apparenly some calls are at least getting through to my Google Voice voicemail.

But my wife and many others have complained to me they can't call me. When they call they get either my v.m. or "we are unable to complete your call at this time. please try again later."

When I called Sprint (because I was a little late getting my bill paid) to square up and have them make sure there were no blocks on the phone service (there weren't), they tried sending some code(s) to the phone. Had me turn it off and then they would send the codes, then i was to try it again.

A day or two later (got 5 little kids at home so I'm easily distracted) I see I'm still not getting calls.

So they were going to try a couple of other things. They had me enter some codes (attached) but what they tried didn't work.

It seems like what they are trying to do is get my phone back on the network fully somehow. But it's not working.

Is there something else I should be trying since I have a rooted, AOSP phone now?

Thanks for any help. They want me to take the phone into Sprint corporate store and I'm imagining they are going to give me stink eyes and whatnot for rooting my phone.

Anyway I want to understand what could be happening here and how this works.

One last thing, I think I inadvertently removed a Sprint app that maybe I should get back on there. I forget what it was called but it is the app that when you dial *2 shows you a bunch of sprint stuff (it's a kind of landing page for sprint), including whether you have a data and voice connection which is working. Is that a clue?

Many thanks in advance for whatever help you can give.

You could always flash a tw based or stock rom and see if sprint can then get you up..

But stick around... many others, far more intelligent than me will see this and might have a far simpler solution..

Good Luck.. and WOW.. 5 kids.... you sir are a busy man.... lol. I have one little boy(2) and I swear he is trying to give me a stroke.. :eek:

You need to get an stock one click and go back to stock the dialer codes from Sprint won't work on aosp I found this out when trying to get my device activated and if your not sure where to get the one click like it was said a few post ago you can't go wrong with rwilcos12 repository you can get your hands on anything you need for this device there

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
Thank you! Couple of questions as this will only be my second time flashing ROMs on my phone and I'm still getting the hang of it a bit:

What steps do I need to take to get back to the TW ROM? I'm not clear on whether I need to do things like wiping the phone or anything like that.

Can I back up the currrent AOSP ROM I have and then restore to it after I've activated my phone? If so it was several months ago that I did my first ROM flash ever (to this AOSP) so if there are any cautionary pointers you would give a noob or posts you'd recommend I sure would appreciate it. Just don't want to wreck my phone.

I think that's all I'm wondering about right now. Just a little nervous about going backwards to TW for some reason. Maybe that's not necessary.

(I should probably do a bunch of ROM flashing for practice once I'm out of the woods on this phone just to get proficient with it.)

Thanks for the help [MENTION=4878501]ktempleton[/MENTION] and anyone else who answers.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

Thanks for the insight! posted a couple of q's to KT on this and then I think I can dig myself out of this one.

Believe it or not, two kids tend to be easier than one (all other things being equal). Especially if they are close together in age (we had our first four in six years, which doesn't seem mathematically possible...and yet it happened). They will play together and then you can have little breathers cuz you don't have to be their buddy 24/7.

Totally off-topic. Just wanted to say thanks and tip my hat back to a fellow parent. It's a noble profession but we have to stick together. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
still not working rite :(

both xda and tapatalk doing it - its getting quite annoying - lol -
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
[MENTION=5291696]hanseric[/MENTION]

Yep us parent need to stick together... :silly:

You need to make a nandroid backup... and I would use titanium backup to backup all you're apps ( just apps, in case you want to restore to a different rom )..now save all this and anything on you're phone you want to you're PC..

Now go to rwilco12's repo and get the stock JB one-click ( I believe there is a rooted and unrooted version ). The rooted one should be fine.

Use Odin to install the one-click ( oh ya.. grab the full restore version.. it will wipe you phone.. hence the backup's ). There are direction's in the thread... so no worries.

After you're back up and running and straightened out with sprint.. you can use mobile Odin to flash the el 29 direct boot kernel.. then out of this recovery flash the rom you had before.. ( volume up, volume down, volume up... in el29 db recovery to enable power button as the select/enter button )

Now that you're on you're old rom.. move backup's to the device and try to use you're backup... if all goes well should be good to go...

After that move the things you wanted to keep from you're internal storage back( pictures, music, etc. )..

You should be back where you started..

Good luck..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
Thanks for taking the time to spell this out for me. I've taken it all and made a little checklist for myself.

Stuck on one point though: I'm on rwilco12's repository page and I can't tell which of his JB builds I should pick.

There are several.

Here's a screenshot of my phone's About screen (attached).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Well for some reason my browser won't let me see you're attachment.. lol

But you're on sprint, right... So go to the stock rom repo and scroll down and pick gb27 one-click stock... it will take you to a new page... on that page scroll down until you see the link for the one-click( it's by number 2 )..click that link.. it will again take you to a new page with different versions of the one click... read through the post and maybe watch a video on Odin... then I would pick the gb27 one click rooted full restore.. it wipes you're phone so do make sure you backed up everything you want to save... ( pics, music, etc ) and you have you're nandroid and TB backup saved also...

If you need some help with Odin later... I can link you to a little guide I put together..

Good luck

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
What modem are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Cm/aosp/aokp based roms almost all need ICS modem's...

FL24 is the newest... you can grab one in rwilco's repo..

What ever was stock on my phone. I followed a YouTube video on installing. I think it was by scottie something. Also half the time my keyboard crashes my phone. I've wiped the phone, cache and dalvik cache several times.

I use fL24 modem... That other guy that just replied has your answer... Lol...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Just grab the FL24 modem zip and flash in recovery... wipe cache.. wipe dalvik.. flash modem zip.. reboot.

No need to reflash rom...

FYI... some modem's work better for others... so if you have poor signal try another..

Also... you can't update prl/profile on cm/aosp/aokp based roms...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
If your still on the carbon then just flash the fl24 modem... In recovery of course

Ok looks like I'm back up and running thanks in no small part to your expert tutelage. So, many thanks to you!

I got as far as GB27 root install. It's late so I'll tackle the rest on the weekend, but the phone is working so the worst of it is over.

Couple of lingering questions:

I'm thinking about flashing something other than SuperNexus this time. Do still just use Mobile Odin to flash EL29 direct boot kernel?

From there can I flash just about any AOSP ROM I want (following the instructions in the OP for each ROM of course)?

Any other words to the wise (or those attempting to become wise lol)?

Sometimes after flashing a modem you won't have a good signal...and you should always update you're prl/profile after a modem flash.

But I've went with out doing an update...

The temp boot method allows you to boot once to a tw based rom to do the update and whatever else... then boot back to you're original rom..

You can search for it if you're interested...

But I would just flash the new modem and see how it goes...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
O Ok. Thanks will do. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Just thought of this... that temp boot thread is probably buried... so just use you're browser and search qbking77 el29 temp boot... that way you can see a video also..

That video is old... so you might also want to make sure that there hasn't been any updates to the files.. ( like for JB or something ). I'm not sure as I only ever used it once when on cm9..and it was old then... lol..

Back in the woods...

Thanks for the tip on the mention/quote thing. Duly noted. :cyclops:

Meanwhile, I spoke to soon on the phone working. I was able to make a call to it last night from my mom's home phone, but I'm back to not receiving calls again, nor am I able to make calls out.

I tried using the codes that Sprint was giving me, but that's not doing anything.

The message I get is:

unable to complete your call at this time. please try again later

message 12 switch 438​

I tried doing a PRL update. Seems to update fine and then reboot.

The first time I did that, I got to make a call. I could do it.

Then I tried to make a call to another number and that didn't go through (same error).

So it works for a moment and then doesn't.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
[MENTION=5291696]hanseric[/MENTION] ...

No I'm a little lost... let me look around. But in the meen time, look and see what you're modem baseband is. If I remember correctly, we had you Odin gb27.So it should be gb27 modem. Just want to make sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
Yes, that's right. It's presently GB27.

Since that last post I tried updating the PRL again at least once or twice and was not able to make even a single call afterward. Not sure if that helps narrow anything down at all.

My wife's phone seems to be working fine, so it's not a problem with the local tower. Same with my Mom who lives in our neighborhood.

One related question I had: if I take my phone to Sprint store, are they going to get all fussy about my having rooted my phone and, more importantly, does it mean they don't have to support it if it's rooted? Any impact on insurance policy?

Just wondering if you have looked into that or know anything about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Don't take it back rooted...

Just Odin the one-click rom that the device came with originally.. That way it looks like you didn't do anything to it.. ;) ( or the last ota you had.. I don't know how long you've had the device.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
And don't forget to run triangle away BEFORE you unroot. Then, as Gil says,c flash Sprint stock gb27 unrooted full restore, and profit :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
good call... I thought about triangle away... but then I thought the one-clicks didn't trigger it... am I wrong ?

I'll have to look , I can't remember.. anyway..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
Nothing wrong with my phone after all!

So I just got back from Sprint.

I wasn't too concerned about bringing a rooted phone (as long as it wasn't visually obvious by having AOSP ROM on there or something lol), because Sprint's own policies about how to handle rooted phones says they can't really detect whether a phone is rooted. See attached if you're interested. I had GB27 on there which is what my wife has (stock from Sprint) so I figured it was a good chance that they wouldn't even notice.

But when I got there, I ran into another Sprint customers who was there for the same reasons I was there.

Then we tried calling our own phones from

Sprint's own display phones

and got the same error!

Talking to the Sprint guy there, we learned that it's a known issue.

Unfortunately it's going to take 48-72 hours to fix.

In summary, I've been on a red herring chase this whole time!

Sorry to waste your time too.

It wasn't all wasted, though. I refreshed my "screen" on how to do ROM installs and now if I have a real issue, I'll know how to get back to stock quickly if I need Sprint's help.

One more question while you're laughing over there...

When I flash EL29 direct boot, do I have to do anything else to prep for flashing a JB ROM?

The reason I ask this is because I thought I remembered having to do a wipe or something the last time.

Just want to make sure I don't do anything that might risk bricking after all this!
