[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ReIgN116:
No, I've rooted several phones... Og Evo, Evo shift, Transform, Photon, Photon Q, S2, S3, S4, and some others I can't remember right now... Lol, I've rooted every phone I've gotten my hands on. Samsung phones are a different beast, use to HTC phones. I'm a cautious person when it comes to flashing different roms...still trying to get use to flashing this phone...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gorei23:
The only dangerous thing about flashing this device is using an ICS kernel, we have a thing called the EMMC Brickbug, if you try to wipe data on an ICS recovery that's not safe (Such as some stock ICS kernels), your phone will be destroyed, with no known method of recovery other than board replacement. But any other kernel is fine :D.

Best guide to Flashing a Rom!

I absolutely give you props for this guide. It's simple and to the point. The visual definitely helps for those that learn from visual learning. (Like myself) With me being so careful in flashing roms (bc I've bricked two phones already through trial and error) I felt extremely comfortable with this guide. I flashed Villuminati 4.4 Kit Kat this morning and everything is flawless. Thank you so much. #firstpost, Yay!

Updating profile and PRL

One question... How do I update PRL and profile? In my about phone menu settings. Everything shows except serial number and IMEI number?? I've read different ways but once again I am trying to scope out all my options to find the least amount of possible damage. One way I read was to enter yourself through dialer codes but I noticed this Rom isn't recognizing the basics. And then another is to flash back to stock Rom through EL29. But I'm afraid of losing my recovery or bricking.... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DankVader:
Thanks for a great write up. I'm currently on stock rooted GB 28 software version 4. 1.2. However I'm on a Virgin Mobile device. Is there any suggestions on what I should do differently to flash this 4.4 rom?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

I'd also like to ask about battery life on this rom. Would it be a significant improvement over my stock jb rom? Right now I only get about a day on a charge. With a stock battery and minimal usage. I'm really looking for something that will extend my battery life. Thanks for any and all suggestions or help guys. :highfive:

The CM you posted is 4.4.4 but there isnt a 4.4.4 Blasphemy Kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
No. The Blasphemy kernel is only used for its newer CWM recovery needed for flashing KitKat... Once KK is flashed, you won't be running Blasphemy anymore.

Hi,

I have a stock epic 4g that i rooted with framaroot. Phone is at Android 4.0.4. How can i tell if i have firmware gb27? If i dont have that firmware how do i get it?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gorei23:
You don't have GB27, GB27 is 4.1, the only way to upgrade is with a computer, instructions here. (Use Simple Upgrade Tool.)

Although this method for custom romming may work with 4.0.4, flashing on this phone from ICS (4.0) is not recommended because of the EMMC Brickbug, which could destroy your phone if you flash from ICS. (Info below)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DrakonVolk:
Awesome! Thanks so much for this great walkthrough guide. I couldn't successfully perform the backup before flashing, but other than that, it went perfect! Thank you!

Question, guys! Mine is a FreedomPop flavor of D710. I can't get mobile data working after installing CM11. Any advice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gorei23:
Unfortunately I don't have much experience with FreedomPop.

Most people get 3G, I've seen some problems with FreedomPop's SMS/Calls but not 3G data.

Note: Kitkat cannot get 4G on our devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DrakonVolk:
I'm not getting 3g either. Any ideas? Much appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erickrocks1126:
Thanks! Running great so far

Was on SlimBean ROM but just did this process this morning. Since this process starts you from stock unrooted GB27, I first used the official Samsung update tool (SimpleDownloader) to reflash the phone back to bone stock GB27. Had to do it twice...first time, I flashed to GB27, it would boot loop to the 4G screen. Reflashed it again and stock GB27 was working just fine.

When I flashed this, I used FI27 modem not FL24 (as initially indicated in first post). Upon first boot into CM11, I was getting a lot of "...process.android..." errors, but after rebooting a couple times, linking up to WiFi, and letting it go through the "Android is updating" process, it all seemed to work itself out.

Have only had it on a couple hours on this ROM so, but the basic functions "seem" to be working: hooks to wifi, internet works, cameras work (well, just turned them on to see if they would turn on), messaging app opens, phone app opens, file manager, settings, etc. Need to check GPS since some have posted that might be working correctly. However, I'm only using this as a game/web-surfing/music player device, so I probably wont check if phone or messaging or cellular data is actually working. Otherwise, seems to be doing fine.

Thanks to the op for posting this process, and all those others that built/provided the various files necessary! :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erickrocks1126:
I had a similar issue where I went back to stock GB27 using the Samsung tool (I was already rooted and running SlimBean ROM). First attempt at flashing back to stock GB27 it kept looping to the 4G screen. Powered off, pulled battery/put back in, and tried the Samsung tool again. Seemed to work that time for me and was then able to proceed.

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

For me, I had to load to the phone's internal storage. Mobile ODIN, for me, doesn't see my external SD, even though the phone itself recognizes it.

Update on 4.4.4

I updated my Virgin Mobile flavor E4GT to 4.4.4 two weeks ago (10/4) using the files available at that time, here's my review so far:

Good:

Much faster and more stable than my previous supported 4.1 version, I like it and really appreciate all the work put into it! Camera, calls, 3G, 2.4 ghz wifi all work great, battery life is better also.

I used the FC14.zip file from the Modem download page, was that the right one to use?

Issues:

1. The 5 ghz WiFi range has dropped to the point of unusability. There is a 5 ghz WiFi router at work that I was using before with strong signal from 25 feet away, now I can't even detect it unless I'm standing within 6 feet of it. It's the only 5 ghz WiFi I've tried, but it works fine with three other 2.4 ghz routers.

2. I'm using the default launcher / home screen. When rebooting, or sometimes during calls, I lose one or two app icons from the main screen. This has happened several times.

3. YouTube doesn't work, sound can be hear but the video is black when playing.

On balance I'm happy with the upgrade, I'm curious to hear whether anyone else has experienced the problems above or knows of a fix?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numanair:
1. I haven't tried any 5ghz wifi

2. Do you mean the icon turns into the little green android but the shortcut remains? Or does it entirely disappear from the launcher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allenj2020:
2. The shortcut disappears from the launcher completely. I have to go back into the full apps list and re-add it to the launcher. It has happened with different app shortcuts, I haven't noticed a consistent pattern or way to reproduce it yet.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Bhargav97:
As Vagelis1608 gave you the link, it is for CM11 (KitKat Rom). If you have never made a rom before, you can't make a kitkat ROM. You may mod already existing jb roms to look like kk. But to get original KitKat, you will need to compile the whole stuff from the source code and this is what a developer can do.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] chraso:
yes, you can start from scratch.

read tutorials at http://xda-university.com/ and do some research what you want and how to achieve it.

As a new user I had to remove your link to the madteam thread index.php?topic=5883.0

Hi,

Just wanted to say that 5 days ago I knew zilch , nada, nothing, zero about Android phones or their workings but thanks to this site and its many contributors I now not only have at the very least a superficial awareness of the numerous elements involved in making an Android phone function but also have finally rooted (a donation to shortfuse.org is on its way) my Samsung Europa (GT-I5500) which currently is using Build FROYO.XWJQ3.

All I want to do now is upgrade to CM11 and 5 hours or more since rooting all I have done is gone round in circles because of links that are dead. I understand that I am looking for info on a device that is long past it's sell by but should not XDA have archived all the relevant files etc ?

Perhaps the fault is mainly mine being a complete noobie but I have spent so many hours trying to get up to speed that right now I am so exhausted mentally I am switching off and will return another day to continue researching.

Not sure why I decided to post to you other than that I came across your name many times while searching the forum. If you have the time and patience to point me in the right direction regarding upgrades it would be most appreciated.

Thanks :)

Possible it is, however, it is necessary to remove components and applications that consume many resources, because the device has usable 181MB and a CPU can only run up to 768MH.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's only one root process that'll work. I need to see your bootloader details so I can direct you to the correct one. To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.

With phone powered on

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

With phone powered off

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

Please post the first five lines.

Hi there,

I have tried Cyanogenmod and haven't been able to rotate the soft keys into landscape mode (they stick to the same place as portrait). With this, even in expanded desktop mode, many apps are not in full screen. So is there a custom ROM which allows the rotation, just like the stock rom does? Or any app perhaps.

Hi there,

Thanks to all you ppl on the forum i managed to upgrade my brand new MDA Pro with UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe as found on the ftp.

Speed seems better, and i like MSN....

Yesterday i noticed some green jittery lines along the righthand side of the screen (LS-mode). When i flip the screen to Portrait mode it stays in the same spot (then it's along the bottomside).

Looks like this:

. . . . . . . .

- - - - - - - - - -

------------------

_____________

It's moving, and seems to be active when i touch the screen or when the device is 'thinking'..

Anybody know what this is / how i can fix this?

I already tried searching the forum for 'green+screen' and 'weird' but nothing usefull turned up :cry:

Thanks in advance!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] murc:
Seems to get worse

When i try to play a video (TCPMP) it seems to get worse and the jittering goes like mad. It stays in a particulair portion of the screen (bottom in portrait) and takes up the space of about 2 startbars stacked on top of each other.

They look a little like status bars of some sort, anywauy, i don't want 'em :x

Please don't tell me to do another upgrade.. would be my 4th in 4 days, and it takes about 3 hrs to get it right (with installing all apps and settings etc). I noticed that spb backup doesn't like it when i try to restore my settings into another ROM than it was made in.. but that's not my actual problem >> green lines from hell IS

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jorgee:
This looks like a HARDWARE problem. I get these in my PC before when the video card was on the fritz.

Anyway, if you don't want to hard reset, i cannot help you.

If you do hard reset and the same problem is still there before installing ANYTHING, then it would probably be HARDWARE unless you re-flash the QTEK rom....

Whaaat?? Just got the D*MN thing 4 days ago, treated it as a newborn child...

Anyway, i tried the 2 softbutton reset, same, tried the power/lightbutton reset, same, tried ClearStorage, same... Should i install another ROM perhaps.. any suggestions?

I noticed the weirdness showing up at the bootscreen (with Qtek logo), then comes the windows logo, which seems to be clean, and then pin-code-screen has it again.

Jorgee it indeed reminds me of faulty videocards on my PC.. aahhh noo, not again :shock:

Weird stuff though, never dropped it, bumped it, could it have something to do with ROM upgrading?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jorgee:

Make sure you flash it back to the correct ROM before returning it. hehehe

Maybe someone at the store twisted the screen MORE THAN 180º (someone like the sales person) then stuffed it back in the box and turned a bind eye.

Ive been S-On for years now with no issues, currently 2.09 and 3.15. Running Sense 5 Y10 with ElementalX Kernel. I was curious if there are any advantages to having the latest firmware which means going S-Off ?? Like I said, its running fine and snappy with no glitches, PRL updates, but with newer ROMS coming out, I dont know if it will conflict with my older firmware, Also if I do go S-Off, can I keep my current Sense 5 rom ? Thanks for any input, Im kind of old school and if it aint broke, dont fix it. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Going s-off as far as I can tell doesn't affect the rom. In my opinion it makes it a lot easier to flash the roms. The main reason I went s-off was to run the operation jellybean. I had to downgrade my touch panel. I'd you are hboot 2.09 I recommend rumrunner. It's quite simple to use but make sure your antivirus software is disabled or else it most likely will not work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PullTab:

Eventually you will need to get the latest firmware so in fact you can use the newer builds. As well as mentioned above it makes it easier to flash the ROMs. To go s-off is a quick and easy process. I'm running omni kit kat and its smooth as butter...

.android_secure

OK, I've got one that's been bugging me. I have a LOT of apps installed and if I have moved a number of the larger ones to the SD Card (to free up /data), once I get to greater than 1GB in android_secure, my phone fails to boot completely and just locks up. It's not the SD Card (32GB Class 10) that has errors (scanned with both Windows and 4Ext), just seems to be too much for the OS to handle.

I'm still running ShiftHackedA05P 2.8 (CM 2.7.3) from days gone by. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Edit: And I use Autostarts (Advanced mode) to turn off receivers for apps that I don't want to load, and LBE to disable permissions.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
You might try using a Rom that has ext4 support since it supports larger file sizes.
[Thunderbolt General] ByteSizeSln:
Thank you for the reply, expert one :)

The folder has ~87 files of sizes 3MB to 40MB, which causes the lockup after booting at random times (sometimes it makes it further and ultimately boots, after MANY battery pulls). Once the folder is pared down to a lesser total size, the phone boots more rapidly and doesn't lock up; seems to be a linear relationship between how many files and the total time to boot until the CPU usage drops.

It might also be that most apps are moving away from app to sd since it isn't used as much anymore.

Normally no big deal but at times I am unable to send/receive texts or make/receive phone calls. Has Verizon stopped using this middle transport for LTE?
