[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thunderclan:
Hello, new to this forum. I was trying to upgrade my phone from FI03 ROM to F127 using Odin one click method

For some reason during the flash, the flashing froze during the middle.

I then unplugged the USB from my computer.

Now the screen says - Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I am unable to get into recovery mode using volume up and the power button or using home+Up+power button - I also tried this taking the battery out and repeating.

I am able to get into Odin download mode but when I try to use the one click method again, it always FAILs

it gets to SetupConnection and then fails after this.

Any help appreciated. Note, I have tried to use different one clicks with the same result.

Thanks in advance.

SOLVED. I tried doing the one click update again this morning and it worked.

I think the original problem was a faulty USB cable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You need to get into DOWNLOAD mode -

Power off completely (pull battery if you have to - you've already screwed that pooch)

Make sure your phone is NOT connected to PC

Re-download a One-Click (PC version - Try here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 )

Verify md5sum, extract and Launch the One-Click on the PC.

Then Power On + Volume DOWN.

Then Volume Up to confirm and enter download mode.

THEN

attache your phone to the PC and it should show up in one of the COM ports.

And 'start'.

Then wait till it's complete - the update takes a full few earth minutes.

IF you want CWM follow the very detailed instructions on this post to take you to sfhub's Autoroot package and add CWM+Agat's safe kernel.

Then take some time and read and re-read the stickies and how tos.

Now all of this assumes that you are using an Epic 4G Touch Sprint phone.

hi im currently in process of porting a stock deodexed rom.

i have changed system files and the update script.for out i9305. at moment i am able to install the rom fine and loads up with or without wipe. i also included the ee modem.

my issue is that when the rom starts all is ok and there are no force closes however i get no network and imei shows null. to resolve this i just flash param.tar in odin and stock file and all is back to original with imei restored.

any ideas on whats causing the loss of imei number

in setting imei and baseband showbas unknown

edit whilst restoring to stock i did not have to restore imei backups so am asuming efs part is fine

but wouldnt that be the modem file iv tried flashing it on radio partition

right iv ported wanam lite rom to our device, the aroma works i boot up fine but baseband still unknown so annoyin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
i am really into this thread. I opened a thread similar at the beginning but they moved it, hope this one stays in here otherwise it will get lost in the i9300 section...... this is really good lets all try get into this, like i said I am going to play around on monday when i return home, so far we got everything going exceept the Modem is not connecting to the Imei correctly, We need an experienced dev.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

Just think how many roms we can have if we get this going
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
Try merging our system and framework so it picks it up as our xxali5 or xxali9 you have to get rid of there base and put our base instead but leave the edited files so maybe the system apps folder stays the i9300 as the apps are the same i think but change the rest into our firmware hmmmm so maybe a better idea would be to have a blank deodexed and zipaligned xxali5 rom move and overwrite our files with the edited files of the i9300 that way all our efs and imei doesnt get touched

Great thread, wish I could contribute more.

At the moment I'm hanging to see what the more clued up guys around here work out!

added the ril files and qualcom ril files but basebands the same

also the serail number has changed on device tried reflashing modem but doesnt help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Basically there are some intensely different changes within the services.jar, framework.jar, android-policy.jar and so forth. 4G LTE is sooo much different than the stock i9300. I am not saying it CAN'T be done. But I am saying it is going to be a complete bastard to do. Put it this way, you'd be better off looking into all of the modifications that have been done to create these ROMS and re-doing them to the i9305.

Trust me, I have looked into doing this with a "customised" build to from sources for ICS for the P7320T tablet that I had. It is the only 4G tablet released here in Australia. The closest I could find in sources for being able to make the connection was grabbing settings systemUI and the others I have listed above ^^^ from the S2 4G LTE. Then I was going to have to modify the systemUI specifically for tablet mode.

I no longer have the tablet nor the patience to want to take on anything like it again.

All I can say is good luck. Feel free to check my threads to confirm that my choices are not a conflict of motivation or lack of determination...god I can assure you that much :P

Just for a tip. I started today with decompiling the android-policy.jar file to see if I could enable the torch app double click home from lock screen feature....this has been done on i9300 right? Go take a look at the full guide on how to do it...go decompile 1 file that I am talking about and you will see just how different the methods are in all of the smali code. JOY!

---------- Post added at 03:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 AM ----------

What tools are you using to "port" this ROM to our device?

I have tools that can port ROMs in about 30-40min.

What have you got in the build.prop for this thing? Do you want to upload the ROM for me to take a look at? The least I could do is offer some help before raining on your parade lol.

Have you considered doing maybe a "splice" of the ROM. Rather than porting the full version, you could do a diff/compare of the modded ROM against it's stock counterpart. Then you migrate those changes over to your "stock i9305" base. That is going to be your best chance of doing this I reckon? also you won't be able to copy across the firmware version. That won't work. Your framework and the firmware version are going to be device specific.

The absolute best thing I can think of suggesting is to go with a known base equivilant?? Like it seems that there is a release of XXALI5 (for touchwiz at least?) on both devices. That would be where I would start first and foremost. I would port with that common version using what I described above and then migrating any further or additional functionality (developer made i.e. Wanams mods) that have been done since the XXALI5 release.

That is going to be your best bet.

Or you guys could just wait for me to release my ROM :) haha...subtle promotion? I think not.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Exactly ;)

I have a methodology that does this very easy. I wanted the OP to upload his work so far to save me a download. But I might just go ahead and do it anyway.

Have you guys got permissions from Wanam to use his work? I will ask on your behalf if not. He is a great contributor to this forum, I don't wish to have him offside.

What I mean is that I will go ahead and play, but I won't re-upload any test files to the forum without his consent;) This shouldn't be too hard

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

Contacted Wanam. I will wait to see what he says and recommends. I have claimed I am not releasing anything of his, so this can be owned by you guys who want it. I am happy to help get the ball rolling to help yous though. I have my own dev team that I work with so that makes me kinda busy. That is why I haven't released my own ROM on here yet lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Downloaded XXLAI5 Wanam, Downloaded XXLAI5 stock i9300, have already downloaded XXLAI5 stock i9305 and I am currently deodexeding it as we speak.

Will deodex i9300 XXALI5 next and then do a comparison to Wanams. Segregate changed files - > port to stock deodexed base = Wanam i9305 for you guys ;)

That's if Wanam approves of course?

EDIT: Hey Mr OP can you please contact me? I cannot send you PMs? Holy smokes you've been around this place since 09!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Ok Analysis done on Wanam compared to stock XXALI5 and have all the of the files seperated and within their directory structure that had changes.

There is going to be some work needed to be done on these main files:

/system/framework/android.policy.jar

/system/framework/framework2.jar

/system/framework/services.jar

/system/app/systemUI.apk

As I expected :eek:

Now the fun n games start :confused: I will decompile all of these files and then diff them against the standard i9300 smali coding and then *attempt* (and I say that with all great intension too) to migrate the changes across into decompiled i9305 files.

I can tell this is going to be a head ache!

Otherwise though....I can honestly say that what I have got so far I know for certain will boot and you will not have baseband issues. You won't however have 15 toggle mod as it stands. Services.jar and Android policy.jar both control this feature. I see that this *IS* available as a mod already on this forum but I am not certain that the creators realise that these modifications (mentioned here) actually do need to be performed.

Lidroid-res.apk within framework will have no rights to control the toggle on the systemUI cause it won't have permissions due to conflicting signature checking. note...toggles may appear, but they won't do anything when you touch the widget toggle, it will be non-responsive.

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
Thats what i said we should just try copying over the whole system app folder and replacing it with our deodexed rom. Try doing that as the firstt step
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
System app is fine, but that isn't where the changes are that make Wanams ROM. You'd have your self a standard ROM otherwise. As in no difference. Or if you just copied the system/app folder ROM would boot but systemUI would force close. You would also have no reboot menu and no USB read from the phone. That would equal disasterous....cause as we all know we don't have SD mount in recovery do we?

Fancy doing an adb push on a phone that doesn't install USB connection files? :)

See I wouldn't be stupid enough to do that without having at least a clockwork recovery backup lol.

It's ok. for the android.policy.jar they are identical (well for XXALI5 they are anyway) to the i9300. So simple trade in there.

Only 4 more files to go and I will have you guys a port ;)

Wanam still has not contacted me back yet though so I we need approval before anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Reset scrolling caches. In framework2.jar

This took a bit of work because my notepad++ kept crashing running compare. If you guys ever have this issue, right click the executable in program files go to properties and compatibility and then check the boxes for:

- disable visual themes

- disable desktop composition

- disable high dpi scaling.

Apply.

No more crashing. Windows 7 aero apparently doesn't like the compare dll?

Anyway not related. I am back on track. last jar file and then it should be ready to package up and it will be the same as Wanam ROM XXALI5
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Got approval from Wanam. Just about to test flash now. Will upload it here if everything works out ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Well, I had a few mishaps with my own device. Namely no root access and also lost hardware ID...meaning no Android Market. This all happened sometime during my lengthy list of modifications so I was not sure where. That mean flash back to stock and restore my data bit by bit until I was set up again. This take for EVER!

So yeah no real feedback from anyone in here so have decided to finish off my own ROM instead. XXALI9 (newer) and a heap more mods than stock Wanam. So far so good.

I can upload what work I did on getting Wanam's up and running (I have not flashed it yet) but will wait till someone actually wants before I go ahead and do that.

Thanks guys

[RAZR HD General] Character Zero:
Thinking about picking up a Maxx HD because I am starting to dislike the Gnex battery life. Its a tough decision since I would have to buy the Maxx HD off contract. Has anyone done this? Do they feel like they have given anything up (besides the ROMS). I feel with the JB leak and forthcoming official OTA it seems like the software is catching up. I know 4.2 is out there but it seems like the changes are more modular (Google Now being an update to Google Search, keyboard can be updated with root, camera can be updated with root, etc.) and am not sure 4.2 will be that critical. It seems the under the hood improvements are done in 4.1. So anyone have any thoughts on if its worth it to spend that much for the battery?
[RAZR HD General] YankInDaSouth:
Well, I didn't come directly from Gnex to Maxx HD, but after 6 replacement Gnexes VzW let me swap out my Gnex for a Maxx. Loved the Gnex as a device, but for me it fell way short as a phone... I had constant call quality issues. I had been running mostly stock ROM's on my Gnex anyway, so flashing and modding weren't high on my priority list - I just wanted a phone that worked as a PHONE!

Right away I loved the Maxx - far superior call quality and, of course, insane batter life. All I wanted was call quality as charging my Gnex never really bothered me. That is until I got spoiled by the Maxx LOL. Not having to constantly monitor your usage in order to preserve battery was a (great) added benefit of making the switch.

Anyway, I decided to go ahead and get the Maxx HD at full retail. As much as I loved my Maxx I really missed my on screen navigation keys (as silly as that sounds). I thought I would return after the 14 days cuz $650 for on screen keys is crazy LOL. Well, today is day 15! This device is truly amazing IMO ... JB will make it that much better (so tempting to flash that leak, but I am trying to hold out for OTA).

My advice is this: if you got the cash and are on the market for a new device I'd definitely recommend the MAXX HD! Great battery, build and radios.

~~ Tapped from the 7th dimension~~
[RAZR HD General] Character Zero:
Thanks for the advice. What really is putting me over the edge is I had this Android night class a couple of weeks ago. I would go into the 3.5 hour class with 100% battery or maybe less since it was at the end of the day. The room killed my reception, I had maybe a bar if I pointed it the right direction. I kid you not, the battery would be done by the end of that 3.5 hours. And I maybe sent a text or two or checked an ebay auction but it was basically unusable without the signal. So its not really about the radio, its more about the battery. Now I have times where I let it sit over night then wake up with maybe 90% if i am lucky and then its a while till I get to a power source. At work I can have it plugged in all the time if I want and in the car I can plug it it. But its starting to become a "wired" device instead of wireless since I have it plugged in all the time so I have 100% when I go somewhere. I hate having to turn this and that off to get a days worth of a charge.
[RAZR HD General] YankInDaSouth:
I hear ya... I am not a heavy user (by my definition of the phrase), but I have been averaging about 1 day / 15 to 17 hours on my MAXX HD. Around 2-3 hours screen time, 1.5 - 2 hours of calls, about an hour or so on Pandora and sometimes there's GPS in the mix as well on a single charge.

Bad reception will kill any phone's battery, but at least with the Maxx you've got a big reservoir ...

~~ Tapped from the 7th dimension~~
[RAZR HD General] anoninja118:
Coming from an Inc4G to the Maxx HD its like night and day. While I did like the Inc this phone blows it out of the water in pretty much every department, and seeing as this is my first Moto phone I am very impressed with the quality. As everyone's saying once JB comes and perhaps we get a few good devs supporting this new Razr line (read: roms and mods lol), this phone will be a BEAST
[RAZR HD General] fonsecaj:
I also went from gnex to HD Maxx. Got it first weekend of release.

I love it. It's really in a different class in terms of build quality, design, and audio. It's got the best speakerphone that I've ever heard in a cell. The battery of course is great and with our extended post-Sandy outage it's been very useful.

I had the giant extended battery on the gnex and the HD Max gets longer life.

Sure it's a drag with no JB at launch, but the leak is already out and hopefully the dev community will latch on to the phone. The HD is a serious device with a pro-quality feel to it. I haven't looked back.

[RAZR HD General] GoClifGo05:
If you have to buy off contract check out the HD dev edition.. It is unlockable just like the Gnex. I get over a days worth of battery with moderate use.
[RAZR HD General] Character Zero:
I thought about that but I would love to just have so much battery I don't know what to do with it. I am kind of tired of turning all this stuff off in regards to saving battery. I am kind of done with ROMS, I hate flashing over and over, I just like to keep my set up. And with ICS and JB, Android is at a pretty sweet spot with Google Now being the one thing that is missing from the Razr HD a the moment. But with a leak or officially soon that will be fixed. I am getting bored with the hardware now, and I think from what I have read, the radios and call quality might be better than the Gnex. I had a Bionic for a short time and liked it.
[RAZR HD General] GoClifGo05:
There is a general consensus on the build quality and radios of the Moto phones... hard to beat.

[RAZR HD General] Bateluer:
I am in the exact same boat. Using a Verizon Gnex with unlimited data plan, means I have to buy at full retail to keep it. I was set to to switch to TMO when the Nexus 4 was announced, but I found its tiny storage and no LTE underwhelming. And the Gnex/JB battery life is atrocious. ~5hrs with heavy use and moderate signal strength. And thats with the ext battery. :(

The HD Maxx is about the only Vzw phone I can consider though.
[RAZR HD General] DertyDOH:
this is the perfect pick for you, unbeatable battery life, even on the RazrHD, the MaxxHD is in its own league. Plus awesome build, and aosp inspired moto ui
[RAZR HD General] anoninja118:
check this out, from the other day... my Gnex couldn't touch it, so glad I switched
[RAZR HD General] PA212:
5 hours with extended battery!?!? that is insane
[RAZR HD General] kevguillot:
I came from a vzw gnex. Battery life was just too horrible for me to mess with anymore. My razr maxx hd is averaging 1 day 17 hours with 4.5 hrs on screen time. My gnex never got 2hrs on screen time. For these reasons im glad i switched.
[RAZR HD General] Bateluer:
OEM extended battery was only 2100mah. :-/ Hardly worthy of the name.
[RAZR HD General] Ncruze:
Also with Team Maxx HD

I have the Maxx HD too. Signed a two year contract to get it. But all of you guys boasting about the battery, i'll need some advice. I havent really noticed the rave. i mean it's better than my epic but not by a lot. I heard after the first few charges of any new battery it reaches it's potential..Could that be it??? Also ive been using it every day for pretty much of the day but no heavy use...could that be it as well??

Last question is i wanted to put the JB leak but was afraid since it's not official from Verizon i could start seeing battery drainage..Has anyone else considered putting the JB leak on their phone?
[RAZR HD General] chefdave12118:
I've had the Verizon g nex, SGSIII, Rezound, dinc 2, Droid X (lol) and the iPhone 4s. Now I have the Maxx HD and this phone smokes all of them IMO. My wife and daughter both have the SGSIII and my son has the Razr Maxx. I've done side by side with all of them and the Maxx HD wins in every department.

Some of you may say "well of course chef is gonna say this he owns a Maxx HD now!". I've had em all (except the Note 2 :p) and this phone is my personal favorite.

The Note 2 is around the corner too. So maybe wait a couple weeks and play with the Maxx HD and note 2 and see which you like better if you're going to pay off contract pricing. I'm hearing reports that the Note 2 has great battery life also.

Hope that info helps ya. :)
[RAZR HD General] DVS_Sokar:
I am currently a Verizon GNex User. However after a rash of replacements I am now approved for a "Replacement Device" after comparing all the features of the Gnex I am pushing for a Maxx HD as it offers the battery life and storage capacity I am looking for plus the option for a micro SD has me excited. I have been using JB for a while so to downgrade back down to ICS will be a challenge however I know of the JB Leak and as long as it's Stock and preforms I am going to be very happy I believe. I am currently awaiting the call back from VZW Tech Support to give me the recommended replacement options. It should be noted I bought the extended life battery and Otterbox. I will be happy to toss the otterbox.

I will update when I "hopefully" get the good news.

Update ** -- They offered a Original RAZR - I indicated that I use NFC and have 32GB of storage and have an extended batter with a 4.7 inch screen. I paid 400.00 with a 2 year at launch so I would not accept anything less then a RAZR HD 16GB.

2nd Update ** -- They have now offered me a Galaxy S3 with Extended Life Battery. The Razr HD is not on the table because it is a "Iconic" premotional device.But at least I will get a great replacement with data now.
[RAZR HD General] acPIZZA:
Iconic promotional device? Or do they just have a bunch if gs3 refurbs laying around? Are they giving you a new phone?
