heeellllppppp

I flashed this ROM this morning, and I am not stuck in bootloop (Samsung galaxy sII screen, power off, sII screen).

Here is what I did

1) PC odin stock gb27

2) Flashed agats recovery v0.5.0

3) wiped cache and dalvik cache

4) ran format allx2

5) flashed jelly verse rom v3

6) flashed agats recovery v0.5.0 (following advice from previous poster that stated that flashing the rom will leave kernel without recovery).

How do I get out of this?

THANK YOU

EDIT----i booted to recovery, wiped cache and I see the blue samsung blinking, but it's been doing it a few minutes. If I read correctly, this ROM takes a while to load the first time..well, any deodexed ROM I believe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
Did you flash the Rom and kernel in the same session? You have to let the Rom boot first......

Can you boot into recovery?

If so....just wipe cache/davik and reflash rom

Then let it boot first....flash nothing else with the rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You got stuck in boot loop because you totally went against S_G's install instructions. You should have flashed it using El26 after you pc odin your one click. And it's always a good rule to let a Rom "settle" before flashing custom kernels, and not flash rom/custom kernel in the same session.

Follow op, from the beginning. After the rom boots, then pc odin(or mobile) the custom kernel of your choice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabril15:
thanks for the quick response. what do you mean by session?

I flashed the rom, and then the phone went into the bootloop. I pc odined-the agats recovery kernel, and the boot loop continued. I booted to recovery, flashed cache only, and then the bootloop stopped and I saw the blue samsung logo. I am now typing in my email address at the first screen, but i have bad reception so I may have to step outside. Should I stay like this, or do what you suggested (reflash the rom)?

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

well, i posted my proposed steps yesterday, and both bilgerryan and someone else agreed, so I followed that route. I trust their input. REmember, I came from JB already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
As do I...but like both SG and I said, you flashed the rom and Agat's in the same session. And you are in the log in screen, that's good. Once the rom settles(give it a little bit, have a cup of coffee and come back to it after you set up Google), and then flash your custom kernel(if you go to about phone you'll see if it's there, but if you reflashed the rom, you lost cwm). Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabril15:
awesome and thank you.

At present, the phone rests peacefully with google setup. I need to add an exchange account, but I will wait a few minutes as you said. My present kernel is 3.0.74+ Garwynn@SXTP. So I am good staying like this, right? Just let the phone rest a bit.

So to learn/educate. I should have flashed the ROM, let it boot and relax a bit, and then flashed the recovery kernel? My problem was that after I flashed the rom and rebooted, I went into bootloop, so I didnt have the option of relaxing a bit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
As long as you in the set-up mode....you're good to go....glad you got it up...:thumbup:

Like TD said.....some phones can use source kernels to flash roms and some can't. ...its all about trial and error....

Safe side...

Odin el26

Reboot to recovery

Format x2 (if first flash)

Flash Rom

REBOOT....

Set up phone

Odin/Flash Kernel you wish....

Reboot

Flash mods that you wish....

Same session means....flashing rom and then kernel back to back without rebooting inbetween.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
For what its worth the latest custom kernel from Garwyn I've found is 5.0..

That's the one I've always used on jelly verse and it seems to have worked he best for me.

shadow_god---sorry to bug again. what do you mean by "Odin el26"? Do you mean to install "This One-Click ODIN contains the STOCK EL26 Modem, Kernel, and ROM for the E4GT"? from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416477 OR DO YOU MEAN TO JUST FLASH THE KERNEL.

Despite everything looking ok, I do not see any of my google contacts, and I get a server error when accessing the play store. Perhaps my gmail setup didnt take properly, so I'm thinking of starting all over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
The el26 recovery kernel is all you need, no need for the entire ROM or you'll need to one click back to jb and be back at square one:beer:

thank you again. All working ok.

Now, to the mods..

For example. what does this do: Jellyverse AIO 3.5 Mod? I dont see screenshots, so I dont know. It is a zip file, so I imagine you flash from recovery. But does it put an app icon on the phone and then i can select the mods? Is that how it works?

How's it goin?......been awhile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabril15:
ok. NBA Finals are over, and the Heat won, and my phone works awesomely with this ROM.

I had this issue with BK, and I see it here as well, so I will ask to see if the answer is the same.

In the status bar, my left side notifications become so dimly lit that it's hard to see them in normal lighting (see the attached image). When the notification (text in this case) came in, it was bright and super nice at the top. Once the text finished displaying, the icon stays up there but as you can see it is super dim.

I believe rujelus stated that it's some sort of gradient that was applied to JB.

Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it to display bright and normal? Look at how sharp and crisp the battery % looks in comparison to the text notification.

Calk EL29 to JB Flash

Hi guys,

Just confirming, I can go from Calkulin's EL29 Gingerbread rom to this, following the steps of course. I see you need to Odin to EL26 or EL29 directboot. But since I am on an EL29 Gingerbread rom, I can boot into CWM and then wipe, flash modem, and rom like normal. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You can, but I wouldn't. I'm not sure what cwm Calk has on his rom, but if it's not one of the safe kernels, I'd follow the OP step by step. And do a backup first :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Use 3Minit to change it to a more visible color (I believe you can only do this with AIO v4.0 and the newest 3Minit)

Team Rejectz
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itbmd:
Sorry, maybe I should've clarified. I meant boot into CWM, wipe everything, install JB modem, JB kernel, and then rom. Or does this rom come with a kernel of it's down? I didn't mean doing a dirty flash. I always do clean flashes. I was just more asking if I needed to be on EL26 as opposed to EL29 (since the EL29 directboot is safe, I assumed so). If someone could clarify if this comes with its own kernel, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabril15:
you mean to change the color of the status bar? Because with 3minit I cant change the color of the GO SMS Pro notification (obviously).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shadow_God:
In the 3minit app.....you should be able to change all notification color to the color you want.....it will change all incoming notification to that color
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
JV comes with stock jb kernel. If you want cwn with this rom, after it boots, and settles in, flash Agat's or Garwynn's latest using pc or mobile Odin. And I recommend flashing chris41g's el26 safe kernel as opposed to el29, because el29 won't flash modems sometimes. So mobile or pc Odin(or flash from recovery and reboot to recovery) el26 safe kernel, follow OP from there. And coming from gb, you will need to flash a stock jb rom to partition first, and make sure you have a jb modem dl to your phone to flash after you flash jb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itbmd:
Thank you for the clarification. I will get the el26 safe kernel and follow accordingly. I did not know I had to flash a stock jb rom first. Can it be the stock rooted rom? Or does it have to be totally stock? Just to clarify the steps, I will:

1. flash el26 safe kernel

2. follow steps accordingly, wiping and installing a stock (rooted?) jb rom

3. then flash kernel for recovery

4. boot into recovery, and follow steps to install custom jb rom

I know there are a lot of ther smaller steps, but I think I understand all of those. Just wanted to clarify the main points. Let me know if that is incorrect.

Also one final question, will this totally wipe out my usbstorage folder with my pictures etc? Even when doing a clean flash and using Calk's format all from rom to rom it didn't. But since this is my first time going from gb to jb, just wanted to make sure. I sincerely appreciate all your help. Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, it will wipe your internal sd only. Your external will remain intact. So either move everything you need to keep to your external (if you have the space) or back it up on the computer. You will only have to do the one click Odin this one time to correctly partition your phone for Jelly Bean. The flashing of the el26 kernel does not need to be done until after the Odin one click.

shawdow-, yes in 3minit I can change the color of all status bar icons. Unfortunately that particular color selector doesnt offer the option of setting it to be transparent. My signal and go sms pro icons are blue, so ideally, transparent would be fine. What color would I chose that will let blue icons look their normal blue? I've tried white, white-ish, grey, blue (made it worse).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
You can change the color of the status bar as well. This is yellow with blue everything else. Shows up better with lighter colors.

Or Stick a Blank PNG as the Notification Panel Image...

If you are unhappy with the blank PNG,,switch back to the color picker and that will trump the image you previously selected.

Blank PNG Here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk7ap4c8p1578j2/Blank.png (you can find them anywhere, but this one seems to have worked fine); 3minit seems to do a pretty swift job of scaling the image to fit the status bar. If I'm wrong on the scaling issue, please let me know.

Screen shots below show where in 3minit settings you can do this. The first home screen has the blank PNG as the notification panel image, so the wallpaper goes straight to the top, the second has a pure black, which is the one I prefer.

Good luck!
