-Open odin mobile

-Open the rom file (tar file) using "Open file" slot, should have or say "Open File or archive .tar .tar.md5, and separate files supported"

-Once you have picked the file and it loads the necessary slots when you load the file, leave everything as it is and scroll down to the bottom part and you'll see everroot section, make sure at least the first 2 spots are check marked, the 3rd spot is totally up to you, it won't affect root at all. I personally chose to leave it checked, because I use odin :), but that's up to you.

-once you have all that done, check mark both clear slots, it should e dalvik and cache, then one spot down it says flash, click that.

Once this is done it will do it's thing, IE: reboot to recovery, flash, clear, etc.... just let it do what it does and wait for a reboot of the phone and you will be rooted.

The reason your everroot section was greyed out is because you had not loaded the tar file yet, once you load a file or a kernel, that section should then become un-greyed <-----LOL is that a word actually? :confused: I guess it is NOW. I just maded up a word, woohoo :)

Hope this helped clear things up.

did you extract the .7z file to get the tar before opening it with modin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahotcarl:
i was stock rooted ics and used .7z and odin 3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
So the first test I usually run is a plain battery test. I try to use the phone as little as possible on the first day/charge to see how the rom will do with my usual setup of everything sync when you want and a few apps syncing as well like twitter and google+

Mind you this is also the initial setup and sync VIA WIFI as well as testing of 4G and 3G speeds but still kept it under one hour screen on. I think it is pretty decent, but there is room for improvement and if my new battery is already dying then I'm sure it'll get better once I get a new battery.

So once I get down to 1% I'll charge it, but I'm sure that is a few hours away, maybe lunch time even.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] romgnascher:
Flashed via Desktop Odin last night, rooted via this method -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1999417, played until the battery was kicked and a full charge last night.

This is my first taste of JB, and color me impressed. Lots of things that were bugging me about ICS have been fixed and/or improved. New features are very nice, and man is this thing smooth.

I won't comment on battery life yet ... I have a weak cellular signal at my desk, so I rip through batteries here at the office ... currently burning about 8%/hr. That's typical of any ROM i've run.

Outside the building, I get a much better signal and 4g. With ICS Rom's I've never been able to get much above 1000kbps down and a few hundred up. This morning, I tested it at 5907kbps/1057kbps. So that alone is a massive improvement, and it's a fairly weak signal here. Can't wait to test with a closer tower.

No bugs to report yet, hoping it stays that way! This will be my new DD.

Anyways back to the thread.

I can't test speeds at my desk because we go through those micro repeaters in the building and though txt and voice are great net speed never hits better than 100k and that is on a good day. I'll test my 4G in a few and update here.

Thanks for your response. I opened the gallery app and let it sit for a while and it eventually synced. Perhaps it needed Wi-Fi? Thanks again

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
Not going to post new pics, but 1% battery finally.

1h 35m screen time

17h 52m total time

that is with sync on full blast and 3G pretty much the while time except the initial setup and sync.

If it stays this way I am going to love it. Right now it has been charging for a little over an hour and a half and it's at 50% so the battery seems to be charging correctly.

The only thing I'm not digging is the camera sounds are back and no flash under 15% need to get that fixed.

GPS seems to be on par with what I have been getting.

Speed seems good, very smooth, but I am seeing that the KB does lag some. It is not effecting my typing but it is noticeable.

WIFI range seems good with normal speeds.

3G is good, seeing close to 1M on a tower I know runs 1.5m at least.

4G has been a toss up. 3-4m with .35m up. tested on two different towers. I'll do more testing at home with the tower that is around 150 yards from me and barely used as that lands me in the 6's with my previous rom/modem.

Still playing around but seems like they finally got it right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
If I remember right I tested it to and I think you can turn the volume down all the way and it wont make any noise.

My bad. That doesn't work :(. Musta been a different version that did that, probably was on fk09. Sorry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nonstop14:
On GB leaving WIFI on used less battery than 3G, on ICS leaving WIFI on used more battery than 3G. Which is more battery efficient on JB, 3G or WIFI?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
I want to try FK23 but I've had issues flashing the tar files and Odin before. I've gone through 5 phones this way on my insurance so I've just stopped trying. Do you all feel this is a time to jump back in and try again? Still trying to figure out what issue i was having. When i hit start in odin one click it would just freeze after it reached factory fs. Never moved passed that point and definitely never hit the Pass process. This was even on a one click. Any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
My next test is with WIFI on all day as I seen the same thing. Todays times was 3G only.

Never heard of this happening. Maybe your anti-virus or even your OS might be having issues. But for an application to lock up means there are some problems in there somewhere. Try a friends computer. Or do what I did....

BACKUP ALL YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY FILES!!!!! All your personal files will need to be backed up as this ROM wipes the internal memory which means it erases EVERYTHING!!! pictures, rintones, everything will be deleted!! you have been warned. Does not wipe the external SDCARD(micro SDCARD)

Already rooted and recovery installed? then this will work for you. If you are not then this wont work.

downloaded the ROM tar.

downloaded the radio ZIP file.

place the unzipped tar.md5 onto my external SDCARD(NOT INTERNAL storage)

place the modem ZIP(do not extract this) onto external SDCARD(again NOT internal storage)

download and install from play store mobile odin(yes you have to pay for it but it is worth every penny!)

once installed reboot to recovery VIA whatever method you normally use.

install the modem VIA the install ZIP from sdcard(your recovery lingo may be different do to different recoveries)

reboot

open mobile odin and select "open file" and point it to the tar MD5

scroll down and ensure root SU and odin are checked.

scroll down further and punch flash firmware and off you go!

sit back relax and watch the fun happen!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
Make sure you have Kies or sgs2 drivers installed on your PC, May try downloading Odin again with your firewall and antivirus turned off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] winfan:
Thanks for this. I am unrooted for work purposes. Seeing there are new RDF's I may have to wait it out. I use an email client which requires me to be unrooted. I will take your advice though and the others here to try and figure out what the computer issues are.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Hotspot is working fine without hack but only 3G. Anyway to tweak it to tether 4G?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
you can still flash this way just would need to un select the inject root options in mobile odin and you wont be rooted.. but since your phone isnt rooted then you would need pc odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
If you need your phone for work purposes, wait until it is official and approved by your IT department.

I tried sending a pic via text and they never got the message out the pic.

Is this a known issue. .....I know there is an mms bug in the roms with like cm10, just wondered if this was the same bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JWnSC:
Download apn shortcut from the playstore, open the app and press the circle to the right so it's colored. See if that fixes it. It worked for me but I had to change other stuff also as I'm on a different carrier.

Edit: make sure to reboot after the circle is colored.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
Mine works flawlessly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comptonhubbard:
found several issues, capacitive buttons become unresponsive and you have to tap repeatedly to get out of an app, Bluetooth doesn't work well with media and audio, I can now hear the other person and they can hear me in both the car and phone Bluetooth without media (had to connect, disconnect several times to get it to work) but my newer headset with media and audio still not working properly, data kills battery big time (same problem on FK09) -had to turn off data to conserve battery (used WIFI).

Bluetooth issues already discussed in thread so not new
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Did that, the circle wasn't marked, so I marked it. Still didn't work

Odd Mine doesn't seem to work, and I tested it with 2 different people, one on boost, one on tmobile.

Both times it says it sent fine, but they never receive the text or the pic, they just simply don't get anything.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
I solve all my lag issues doing a Factory Reset, after that not more lag very snappy. Only issue battery drain but not too fast at least. BTW Rooting and tinkering FK23 will raise the hell out of problems sooner or later, I unrooted start from scratch "clean stock" way lot better.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
Only issue I am having is the MMS sending pics, other than that everything is SO freeking smooth and fast, battery life is quite a bit better than the other JB roms out too date, gps is a major nice increase over the other roms, as I can lock in about 2 seconds on a normal basis.

I port cars locally and every now and then we find goodies in the cars, some really nice, some NOT so nice IE diapers, smells, nastyness in general, but the other times are nice. I found a Jabra CRUISER bluetooth today, $30 part, and works like a dream, pretty nice really......anyways I got to test my bluetooth on this new build (fk23) and it worked like a charm.

All in all I am very happy. from what I have tested everything works fine, except for the MMS part. I don't send pics a lot of times really, but it'd be nice to have it working for those rare times I do send pics.

For now I'll just have to settle with emailing them

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I'm testing out the bluetooth because I use it regularly. I haven't tried a full rooted flash with fk23 with one touch odin. What I'm trying now is I just one click flashed fk09 and one click flashed the fk23 modem. So far, with a Sony bluetooth stereo a2dp headset, I can hear music, I can hear the caller and they can hear my voice. I should try this with the jabra I tried on fk23 I had installed yesterday to see if It's acting different or the same. Yes I know this is the fk23 thread, but I was testing to see if bluetooth worked on fk09. I'll run it for awhile and see what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I just noticed something and it may be the casue of my MMS issue I've been having.

I was looking at pics, and noticed that my baseban is fk09 stilll, while it seems that others have fk23 so....that brings me to some questions.

-I am guessing that the baseband is the modem, correct?

-if so then the tar file on rwilco's site, doesn't it have the fk23 modem built in?

-I used mobile odin to flash this when I was on fk09, will that way not work?

-did I miss a step or somthing? in short what I did was I was on fk09 rom w/fk23 kernel. I used mobile oding to flash over the fk23 rom and injected SU so I could have root

-a short fix, is if this IS the modem, can I just flash the modem.zip and it fix it, so I don't have to redo everything again? because I JUST got my screens set up lol

and lastly

-I don't have a custom recovery, it's stock I believe, how would I flash the modem.zip without a custom recovery?

Sorry for so many questions I just wanted to cover them all in one post. Hope I didn't miss anything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You cannot use mobile odin to flash the modem.

Yes, flash it in recovery or find the one click on the modem repository.

Edit: You can flash a custom recovery with mobile odin then flash the modem but then you also have to reflash the fk23 kernel in recovery so you need the flashable zip of that too on the phone so it will boot back up when you're done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] easyrider77:
I did a flash of he modem, everything now says FK23.

I tried sending a pic just now and they said no pic got sent, so same issue.

I'm open for suggestions, should I redo things again and like start from scratch?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
I would say starting from scratch is the best idea considering no one else is having the issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
This... Also try flashing vía Odin PC most people reporting issues had flashed vía MOdin so use PC versión Full tar or OC to reduce possibilities. Happy flashing. Also if you experience some Samsung Keyboard lag or system lag do a Factory Reset right after first boot that will solve it.

Gotta say this, very exciting development.

I live in Green Bay, WI and very rarely am I able to pick up any 4G signal. There's literally one block in the city where I pick up 4G. Since this updated modem, I'm picking it up all over town. It's still spotty because technically Green Bay isn't on the Sprint WIMAX map, but it is exciting that I may actually be able to pick up 4G here and there now.

For the short term I'll repack them and put up.

Splitting the 800x800 and 960x960 versions, which were also there but in a different folder

Longer term I'd like to find out where the settings are and fix it.
