Well...did uninstall with titanium & downloaded again but still not working :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It does it over WiFi also?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moogie522:
No it works with wifi...but I don't have wifi at home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, no problems with Wi-Fi.

What rom and modern are you running? Try updating profile and prl, reboot. If problems persist, try a different modem, same updates. Try 3g vs. 4g too. It could be an issue with Sprints 'wonderful' data in general too. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] moogie522:
I'll try that....Thank you. Will post result in after while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Don´t worry is not that I don't know about basic functions, I just to make sure that I don't mess my phone.

In titanium backup I beleive that the option that says user apps & system data is not what yuo meant since I enter to check it and it includes all the apps (camera, weather, clock, etc).

Again, when you are flashing that you swap tbe phone, that erase what is in my external sd also?

Dont get mad I just want to do it right.

I have other question (sorry) O jave done a lot of searched and read a lot on busybox but still dont know for what i need it and how to use it. By the way I installed.

I'm running el29 blend Rom v2. 6. 1, for a year now. cwm recovery & rogue recovery. Recently my E4gT has been doing the exact same thing, especially when I put it on a car charger. It has happened once or twice on a non-oem wall charger, but happens all the time on car chargers. I'm baffled, total noob but not completely retarded so I tried restarting phone and sometimes it helps for awhile, but inevitably it reoccures. If there's anything I can do to assist in resolving this problem, please don't hesitate to ask. Personally I just customized the dumb ass clock/dock screen so I can access my needed apps.. sometimes my phone even goes into driving mode and speaker phone announces my incoming calls, that's really annoying. Thanks to all the devs and mods for all the time and effort they put into this, its much appreciated..,,,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Like Bluez said, it will only wipe the Internal Storage, not the removable External SD card. If it does NOT wipe out internal storage, you downloaded and installed the wrong file. So look for the one that RESETS user data and like Rwilco said, get the one that says 'Root' also in the filename so it will be rooted when you get done (with Busybox already preinstalled). You will need root if you plan on doing any modifications to the phone or rom or plan on installing a custom rom later.

Yes, Titanium is annoying that by default it backs up system apps but you change the option manually to just 'Backup all user apps'.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
I was reading on your post on how to install CWM. It say to use gb - EL26 or something like that, but it also says that since i'm ICS my phone will no longer boot. Will the phone boot directly to safe recovery mode or i have to press up & power buttons to get there?

After i'm at recovery, there is where i make a nandroid backup before flashing the new ROM ? Or the backup is after flashing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
once you use Odin to load the EL26+cwm, you will need to boot to recovery by holding Volume+ and Power simultaneously until you see the Galaxy SII screen, then let go. Then press Vol- Vol+ Vol- and you will see "Back menu button enabled"

Now you can select things as expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Nandroid depends. Do you want to make backup of the rom you are on or the rom you will be on?

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
I want a backup in case it mess up after flashing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krowbarr:
Yes, you must use a safe recovery to flash on our phone. I always use the el29 direct boot kernel flashed with Mobile Odin. It will boot you directly into CWM custom recovery where you can make a backup of your current system before flashing anything. This kernel is only for flashing, it is Gingerbread based and therefore will not boot your current ROM. Do not flash without a backup in case something goes wrong.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
OKay. To recap. I have my contacts backup in google. I just backup my user apps with Titanium.

I have the EL29 direct Boot

I have Format_AL_X2 (zip files)

I have Blue_Kuban 1.0.5.4 (zip files)

I am at FL24 rooted and want to Flash Blue Kuban ROM (What else I need?)

I'm not sure about how to use Format AL X2 zip file
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Install mobile odin from play store (or find the free version on XDA, just search)

Flash EL29db with mobile odin

you will reboot into cwm5 recovery

Backup and restore>backup to (internal or external, whichever you prefer) sd card

this will take a few minutes

then

install zip from sdcard>format_all_X2

install zip from sdcard>Blu_Kuban_1.0.5.4

This will bring you to the aroma installer for Blu Kuban, follow the directions and you're good to go.

TIP: Don't install too many mods during your initial BK install, you can always use the Kuban Updater to add them later on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Just got a little confuse with the last TIP: What do you mean with mods?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
The Blu Kuban has a number of mods available which you can choose from during the initial installation, or you can install them later via the Kuban Updater.

If you install a bunch of mods at first and something isn't working, it's much harder to figure out what went wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
So does it have like a recommended mod installation selected. I don't know if I explain my self. I don't want to mess up. Just a basic installation or what mods you recomend me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
You are overthinking it. Just go with a minimal install at first, you can always add more stuff later if you want.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Just need help quick

The phone doesn't boot

I do everything step by step and after flashing the ROM it boot up to Kuban_recovery v0.0.1

from there I hit reboot now and it reboot to the recovery again

What can I do???????
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Did you flash the full blu kuban rom zip? There are also update zips, part 2 zip too.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
In the last update of the Kuban ROM are only one zip file to download in the instructions says

Boot to recovery (I use EL29 direct boot)

Make an NAND Backup ( Yes I do the backup)

Wipe the phone (with the Format All X2 script) DONE

Flash The ROM DONE

Boot the phone STOCK HERE THE PHONE BOOT TO RECOVERY

Go to the updater (Under the stock section) and install Part 2 (Two part install is to finish theming Talk)

Reboot and Enjoy

So after you install the first part you boot the phone and install the second part with the updater

Okay, I tried the Blu Kuban and didn't work, I retore my backup but i'm stuck in the EL29 recovery screen.

How I get back?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Use Odin on your PC to get back to rooted stock, and try again. There is a blu Kuban specific FAQ thread as well, I'd check there for more detailed info.

Sent from my Epic 4g Touch on PACman
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Okay, I just do this:

1. Wipe the phone again

2. Install Blu Kuban over the already Blu Kuban but now minimal installation

3. Keeps booting to safe recovery

4. Restore the backup

5. Boot to safe recovery EL29 DB

6. Turn off and back to stock no-rooted

7, Rooted again

By the way, how from recovery (EL29DB) I can get back, where I can find the Odin file to get back directly to rooted?

Does the problem has to do something with the EL29 DB I used? Because I notice that when on the safe Kuban recovery mode and hit reboot it boot again to the same screen like when I hit reboot at the EL29 DB recovery mode

Can someone help what went wrong?

I wanted so bad the blu kuban and it has been like 3 weeks of reading before messing with my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Use EL26 recovery instead of EL29 and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
This EL26 is the one that doesn't boot directly to recovery and I had to manually get there pressing up & power buttons? In recovery mode then i had to hit down, up, down?

Can you please give me the link or where to find the EL 26 kernel.

I would try tomorrow to see what happens.

Just wondering, could my problem could be a bad download of the kuban zip file?? I saw someone saying that he downloaded the kuban update and it get stuck in the booting screen and then downloaded the mirror file and it worked fine.

I just in case also downloaded the mirror file of the kuban full version just in case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Check md5 for your downloads to make sure its good. And yes that's the file and you have to push buttons to get to cwm.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Thanks.

How about when I am at CWM? I have read that you need to press the sequence down, up, down. Is that true?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mrguru2011:
Yes to select your options and enable power button other buttons work also
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
When I flash with mobile odin using EL26, what would happen? I mean, the phone would try to boot following the flash? After flashing I have to quickly press up & power buttons? What happens if after flashing I dont press the buttons? The phone would enter in some kind of booting loop since the kermel is GB base?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Just another question:

What is this file for? SPH-D710_FL24_1173404_Kernel.tar.md5 I founded in Kernels > Stock (TW) Kernels > ICS > TAR

Can it be used in the safe recovery or only with the mobile Odin?

Unable to get a clean install

I have done some searching and have been unable to find a solution. For about a month now I have not been able to get a clean install when flashing my rom. I am currently running GB27 from GB08, stock kernel. I started with EL29, Wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik. flash jb.format_ALL_X2.zip, flash SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Restore.exe. Once rebooted, I find during setup, the phone still remembers my network key, and owner information. Normally I wouldn't worry about those since it would save me time setting the phone back up. However, the device is not performing as it should. I get random FC's from just about every app, and sometimes extremely poor battery performance. I.E. random super fast drain with little usage. Sometimes it is slow to charge. The phone is only 3 months old. The battery passes the spin test. I would like to know if some one could point me in the right direction to completely wipe all data from every partition and reload the entire phone before taking it back into Sprint. The Sprint store is an hour away and I would rather save the gas if I can. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Use the gb08 unrooted restore. This should repartition and wipe your entire internal storage. See how your phone performs on this, and if all is well after a couple days, try using the gb27 rooted one click.

Finally Got It

Well finally!!!!, Last night finally flash Blu Kuban ROM.

For those who help me out, THANKS!!!

Probably the first time was a bad download or something with the EL29 DB.

For the second time, I downloaded the Blu Kuban from the mirror and used the EL26 kernel and everything running just fine.

I got some questions:

1. I notice that dont have alarm, is that right?

2. I saw a Hot Spot app, I have unlimited data plan with sprint, will this charge me like the sprint's hot spot app the phone had as stock?

3. I had restore some my old apps with Titanium, So need busybox to get installed in this ROM, do I need ROM Manager?, Does SD Maid worth to have it installed?

4. I couldn't setup my hotmail account, why? I didn't have problem with the other mail accounts

5. Where I can find some tuto or info on how to use this ROM?

By the way, I went to sleep with 80% in my battery, when woke up the battery was on 81%, WOW, awsome ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
1. This is rom specific. Check the Blue Kuban FAQ in General http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809881 or ask in the thread. (Better search the thread before asking. ;))

2. No, the hotspot for that rom is hacked and works just fine.

3. NEVER EVER use ROM manager with this phone.

Busybox is already installed.

Up to you on SD Maid, it doesn't hurt to try it out.

4. Search for guides on how to setup Hotmail on Android.

5. See #1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] verdug023:
Thanks, just uninstalled the ROM manager. How about busybox, do I need it?

Other thing since flashed the ROM it has been twice that I check my phone and found it off, and it spendore time to turn it on when pressing the power button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krowbarr:
Yes, you need busybox. Think of it as a set of linux tools that are needed for rooting apps to function properly. I use BusyBox Pro which is available on Google Play. As for the phone seemingly turning off that may be SOD (Sleep of Death) which happens occasionally. Just pull battery if need be and reboot.

Nevermind - Found it. Wasn't listed in the same name convention as the other Galaxy S2's..

I'd still be wary being that the light that was on it flashing recoveries and yet not a mention that the concern was address or debunked..

(granted we're talking about the touch recovery flashing)

I find it odd that there isn't any other mention of it.

Maybe I'm just paranoid..

The other thing I find odd is that I just found a thread approaching a date of almost a year ago with the same recovery. Why would they put out an article about it now?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604107

:last edit: Following the discussion that the Rom Manager topic has raised again, I still hold to my original opinion of not to use it. It's the same recovery, the same issues and nothing new except the date of that article.

My advice, don't use Rom Manager to flash the kernel/recovery. There are other methods just as easy without taking the risk associated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah it's the recovery which comes with el26/29 repack.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
LOL. Playing with a can of worms too. ;)

I agree, nothing gets flashed on my phone that I don't where it came from. The multi support just raises the issue of making a serious mistake by selecting the wrong thing. I paid a lot of money for this phone and enjoy it way too much to experiment with something has proven to cause problems in the past. If someone has good insurance and wants to take it through it's steps... have at it. :p

BTW, as a noob in GB days, I tried Rom Manager and even used it for making backups (even though I was told not to) but I think I almost bricked when I selected the wrong phone type by mistake so I'm just going by my experience with it as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
ROM manager is a wonderful tool... For some phones. This is not one of them.

Everything is easy enough anyways. Use the one clicks to get rooted stock, then get mobile Odin from the market, and use that to flash recovery kernels. Then use the recovery kernels to flash ROMs and moderns.

Please help me unbrick my phone

So I got my phone, and was trying to install EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5 using MobileODIN.

I point it at the file, and tell it to upgrade the firmware.

The phone rebooted, and hung at the white Samsung Galaxy SII logo.... and sat

there...

After awhile I gave up, and tried to enter ODIN mode by holding down the power and volume.

The unit powered on, showed the logo, flashed the screen for a second, then showed the logo again.

No ODIN mode.

Help!

On the PC ADB can see the phone, and droid explore can view the files. So it is not 100% bricked.

However I need some help getting it booting again.

*Edit*

The gods hate me today.... Sigh..

So I got ODIN running with an adb reboot download command.

I was reflashing the firmware, and the laptop when to sleep...

I said many cuss words which did not help.

Now the unit boots to a firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I now see a SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device, and a SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem in my device manager when I try to connect to the phone.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

*edit 2*

Ok. I think I got ODIN flashing it again... on a desktop this time... hope the power does not go out in the building...

Sigh....

*edit 3*

Boot to odin mode again. It should.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Also, note that unless you are running gingerbread (Stock EL29, Calkulin's, or similar) your phone will not boot to system while running the EL26+CWM kernel. You must hold Power and Volume + until you reach the Galaxy SII screen, then release the buttons.

If you continue to hold the buttons after reaching the gs2 screen you will force the phone to reboot again, and it will continue not to boot to system, so it seems like you are stuck in a loop.

I was catching up on this thread and just saw this question. My girlfriend's phone had a similar problem. Most likely the problem is caused by a bent pin on your charger cable or on the usb port on your phone.

First: quit using any charger that causes this to happen.

Second: inspect the cables and the usb port on your phone to try to identify any bent or damaged pins.

Next: get a good quality usb cable and see if the problem happens when you charge with it.

I hope that it is just a cable and not the port on your phone. I now use quality chargers with quality cables everywhere. The offending charger was at her job, so I had not seen it.

Good luck.
