Just simply flash ur stock firmware or its base version.and wipe data.do wipe the data without rebooting.

U'll be out of bootloops.

If not then flash the same kernel over it

Dont even think of flashing .pit files.thats last step to think of

Is there an easier way of fixing phantom key pressing?...it sucks that my phone does it sometimes...anybody have a fix our suggestion? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
There is no fix. It is a bad phone. It happens more if you are in low signal area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
That sucks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Only way to fix it is to disable hardware keys entirely. This can be done with a relatively simple mod (one of [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION]'s posts in general) or on an aosp based ROM like cm10.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
I'm new to this all, I want to learn but I'm finding myself becoming somewhat confused by so many topics upon search. I do know I don't want to brick my device so here goes. . .

I recently purchased my device "ROOTED" with Touchwiz and that's about all I know. It came with SuperSU app. I checked, she's rooted but I'm not sure if any type of recovery is installed though I do have a CWM folder in my directory with 2 files in it. . .

I got Mobile Odin, Busy Box and Root Toolkit ready to go. I just want to understand thoroughly what my next step should be since I'm already "ROOTED". Below are my specs:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ADDICT.ANK:
firstly check in menu is there a option named cwm...

if not then install nrecovery i.e. cwm

And pls post if u need any help

Why dont you try a 3rd party app for swapping hardware keys...

that would be handy.....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
He's on touchwiz, there won't be an option for cwm. Only way to know is to boot to recovery. Hold power and Vol up simultaneously for about 5 seconds. If it is just an android on his back you're on a stock recovery.

So I should look up ghost keys? Is it a zip file or do I have to dig deeper to fix phantom key pressing? Sorry im learning
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
This is a matter of debate, some users have changed their generic.kl and had success with eliminating the phantom keys, other have had to replace their screens to make it go away. In the themes and apps section of our forums search for phantom key press. I remember seeing it, I just don't remember who its by.

On this device you need an entire kernel as the recovery is incorporated into the kernel. Its not separate like other devices.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Adb is the android debug bridge. Google will solve your questions about this.

Which recovery depends on what you're running.

A one click is the safest easiest method for a newbie;):beer:

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
And don't sweat the triangle. Triangle away app fixes that!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Don't one clicks negate the trigger for the triangle anyhow? I haven't seen the triangle unless I used a zip.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Yes and no. Flashing anything that's not 100% stock Samsung will trigger the yellow triangle. Flashing a custom kernel well trigger the triangle.

But! Triangle Away makes it super easy to remove. I just tested it in my S2 just to make sure nothing had changed since I last played with it and it was easy and painless.

As a sidenote, my flash counter was at 327! And I've used a jig and Triangle Away at least twenty times before that! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
You get the triangle if you flash a repack kernel with pc Odin. Stock+root one clicks do not trigger it, nor does anything involving mobile Odin.

As far as I an aware, zip flashes in recovery don't cause the triangle, but they will result in modified status in download mode.

Either way, just triangle away after you get to the (rooted) rom you want to be on. For warranty/tep claims, run a rooted restore one click, then triangle away, then unroot with the su app.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Ok, that's why. I only use PC Odin when doing a full flash, all other tars are done in mobile Odin.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ADDICT.ANK:
Flashing zip or flashing in any way doesn't gives that triangle..

it only shows up when it detects something fishy like something messing up and to save it from getting corrupted...

it happens due to dirty flashes sometimes...older cache rendering unknown clashing with the new rom....

simply it shows up when there are conflicts between rom and kernel...and recovery

well triangle away helps dealing with it....and wiping does the job, some tricks....

need any help post here or pm me...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Incorrect. Flashing via any method that doesn't detect a stock signature triggers the triangle. Mobile Odin has a work around because of the flash kernel used, and triangle away reverts the signature key.

Also, the standard cwm recovery methods, I believe doesn't function on this device (someone else with this device please correct me if I'm wrong) because everything is included in the zimage. If it did, we wouldn't be so limited in custom kernel choices.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul

correct...

And yes everything is found in the zimage..

Believe it or not we actually have seen two touch CWM based recoveries. One by Koush that came with ROM Manager and that gave a 90% chance it would brick your phone. The other came from Team Rogue that was pulled due to people confusing it with Koush's.

DeesTroy also had two or three TWRP repacked kernels but moved onto other devices.

All of them were either Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich based.

Repacking factoryfs.img issues

My ultimate goal is to create a basic, flashable custom ROM but so far I have been unsuccessful.

What I can do is

1: Flash stock FL24 using Odin.

2: Unpack, re-tar and successfully flash stock FL24

What I want to do is modify factoryfs.img for my custom ROM. When I attempt to do this however I encounter problems.

I tried to follow this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239

but I don't modify anything - I simply try to unpack and repack the stock factoryfs.img.

To test that I did this successfully I check out my sparse re-packed image using simg2img as described in the tutorial and it shows me that the innards of my repacked sparse image are identical (in terms of size and permissions) to the stock factoryfs. Nonetheless when I try to repack and flash the ROM using this unpacked and repacked factoryfs.img the install fails and the phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SII boot screen.

What could possibly be going wrong? I know I can successfully pack and flash tarballs. I *think* I can successfully pack sparse images. The permissions should be right. What could be wrong? If there is anything I have said incorrectly or any caveats that I may have overlooked I would greatly appreciate any insight. Maybe the location the phone gets stuck booting means something. If there are any details I could provide that would further help I am glad to provide them.

Thanks!

By generic in assuming you mean GB27 or another Sprint build. To answer your question, yes, you will still have service, just fine. However, if you flash anything but a Boost Rom, you will have to change the mmsc url settings from Sprint to boost in order to send MMS. And there are TONS of tutorials on how to do that, so flash and enjoy! :thumbup::)

How to flash just factoryfs.img?

Unfortunately I do not have enough posts yet (10) to post directly into those threads. I agree that would be best.

I noticed your FL24 one click only loads zImage, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, and modem.bin. I am not sure of the mechanism (whether it does not contain the boot information or if it sees I do not need to have those flashed) but I have been hesitant to do anything other than simply take the stock ROM and substitute that file. I definitely don't want to brick this phone so I have been cautious. To flash just the factoryfs.img does Odin take an image file or do I tar the image? I assume I would do this in the PDA section of Odin like for a full ROM? If I only want to flash a few certain images/bins do I just tar them in the proper order and let the phone take care of the rest?

Thank you say much!

As an aside, in your custom-ROM-tutorial tar-flash-order-post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38166110&postcount=3), I know that the FL24 flash order is not consistent with your ICS order (FL24 seems to be a weird flavor that includes an Sbl.bin). The order from the stock ROM is boot, sbl, param, zImage, factoryfs, data, cache, hidden, recovery, modem if that is something worth updating.
