Muchas gracias, sabes lo voy a intentar esta tarde, ojala y funcione. Té aviso.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Cool how did r3belto know Anibal knew Spanish? Anyways after you downgrade you might have to switch to touch whiz to reactivate. Furthermore use Google's hangouts and hangout dialer to use your phone as a soft phone in the intermediate. It's actually great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AnibalAlanis:
Well, I'm going to try this now, hopefully it will wor . Thanks everyone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AnibalAlanis:
Hey guys, so I was able to downgrade to stock firmware ICS Baseband FL24, but what now? Can I upgrade back to CM11 now? What else do I need to do? Notice that on these screenshots that I took, there is 3G signal coming from Cricket. When I was on CM11 none of the information like the MAC address, MSID, MEID etc. was on there, so I guess that has to do with my problem. Anyways, just waiting to hear from the Pros. Thanks in advance everyone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
You should be able to just flash cm11 again... Make sure yer prl is updated first...

Your meid number and such may not show correctly... Mine doesn't either..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AnibalAlanis:
Yeah, so I'm back on CM11 and now I get a little 3G icon along with the signal icon, but still doesn't work :( I think my phone is still trying to fetch the signal from Sprint and not from Cricket. Do you guys have any other ideas I can try? Thanks everyone :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
I don't remember if cricket needs a special modem or very much about having service on this phone :D I've used it as a soft phone since waaaay back. I will bump this cause I'm sure someone does ?

And stay on tw to activate and don't flash cm until it's working 100%

Is there a version for the d710 lollipop?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Nah son. Keep track of this forum tho. Should be the first to know ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Thanks guys it worked perfectly. I was able to update my phone to CM11. It took me awhile to load all my apps and apply all the settings but it seems to be stable for now.

I'm having an issue that I hope that someone can answer though. It appears that I'm having connectivity issues during calls. When I make calls sometimes the person on the receiving end can't hear me at all. Normally it ends up with a "Hello! Hello! Can you hear me? Hello!" in which case they can't hear me and so they hang up. It doesn't always happen but when it does it's very frustrating. Sometimes it happens back to back. It doesn't seem that I have this issue with getting calls though. I will have to double check but I don't recall this happening during calls that I get on the phone. Now I figured it had something to do with the modem. So I checked out all the modems that work on BOOST MOBILE.

I tried the FL24 modem and I get the same problem. In fact the connectivity on it is worse than other modems.

I tried the FI22 modem and still get the same issue.

I'm currently on FG31 and it seems to be much stable then the other modems. However I still experience the issue sometimes when I make calls and the person I'm dialing doesn't hear me. It's not a reception issue because I'm at half to full bars most of the time.

I was going to try a JB modem that latest one for the phone which is GC01 for Boost but apparently CM11 shouldn't be used with a JB modem. So I have avoided it for fear of bricking my phone or something.

I never had this issue when the phone was on stock JB. So I'm unsure if there is a setting or something I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great!

[Update] Echo Bug

(update) Hmm apparently this is a known issue with CM11 and has to do with the kernel. It's known as the "Echo Bug". The stuff I've read describe the issue to the letter. Hmm I wonder if it's an issue with the nightlies or something else :( . It has to do something with the whacky volume controls or some such.

I found a thread that relates to it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/99934-for-those-having-problems-on-the-new-cm11-nightly-d2lte-builds/

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
I don't have or notice the echo (I am on the 10-Feb-2015 nightly) but I don't talk on the phone much and I am on Sprint.

Have you considered flashing CM10.2? Or an earlier version of CM11?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
I'm going to try to go back to the snapshot M build of CM11 and see if that fixes the issue. I'm not entirely sure if it's related to the Kernel or CM11. From what I've read it doesn't seem to be related to the modem but an AOSP issue apparently. I keep reading about Blasphemy but I wonder if it's outdated. There seems to be other kernels for this phone. Not sure if switching over to one will work. I wonder what's the latest kernel for this phone available? Looks like it's that FPBug+Trim one or Extremel Kernel V2. Hmm..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
The trim kernel is newer and I think extreme is an updated version of blasphemy. I'm not sure what the status of the trim kernel is tbh since I use extreme. Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Still working on it :)

Yeah I changed the Kernel to Extreme Version 2.0. I also changed the CM11 to the M snapshot instead of the nightly. Also for fun I changed the CWM to TWRP (this is merely cosmetic it shouldn't affect the issue I was having before). Hopefully my issues go away. If not I will have to switch around modems and try some other ones. The last resort I have is just to try another ROM altogether or revert back to stock. Thanks for your insight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Ah it seems like you're a pro now sweet. Good luck amigo! Dirt unicorn is maintained by dastin as well. There's also vanir and slim ROM. All good choices really.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dirtyhewr:
i don't think dirty unicorns data works... just fyi...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Thanks :) I have flashed phones in the past on previous models. It was just some of the wording and warnings for this particular model and roms were a bit confusing for me. Once I understood it all fell right into place.

It appears I still have that issue where the caller still sometimes can't hear me when I pickup. I cannot pinpoint the issue and I've tried several different modems and kernels and CM11 versions. Everything I've read about CM11 and this issue leads me to believe it's related to KitKat and CM11 in general. If you look at my previous post and just looked up the 'Echo Bug' you will see that's a common problem with CM11 across several phones. At this point I'm at a loss at what to do. I've looked into Vanir+Commotio but I really do like the look and feel of CM11. It's very frustrating. Thank you for all your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Yes the echo bug is a pain. My phone was only activated the first year of it's life tho ^•^ so I've never dealt with all that jazz. I don't remember how it was dealt with :s

For like 3 years I've used it as a free soft phone. First with groove IP and now hangouts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Its a great phone actually! I may look into moving into something different in the future though. I want something with a bit more juice that can support CM12 and such. Don't get me wrong the CM11 for this phone is awesome! When it works it's blazing fast and smooth. The only issue of course is when I call or sometimes when people call me they can't hear me at all. No matter how many buttons I press, (power+volume Keys+home button) whatever combination it just don't allow them to hear me (like I'm on mute or something). It's weird and during emergencies I need to be able to have a fluid conversation without this happening. :)

I'm going to try VanirAOSP+Commotio. It appears the regular Vanir download links don't work anymore. The only one that does is the Commotio post, which I assume is Vanir+Commotio. The last version for our device was B72 apparently. So I'm going to give that a whirl and see what happens.

I'm not entirely optimistic though as apparently the "Echo Bug" is an issue with KitKat in general and is usually tied with AOSP roms like CM. So it could be that majority of KitKat roms suffer from this problem across the board. I want to thank you again for all your help :)!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Oh no yeah great phone to this very day.

I might go the smart watch after this phone. The rumoured huawei smart watch has similar specs as this phone but with half the screen. I think voice dictation is good enough to where I won't need a keyboard anyways.

And post in the vanir so someone can mirror a vanir build. I'm certain a lot of people still have it. I do but I'm out and can't upload RN.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Cool let me know when you can upload or post a post for the 10/27/2014 release of VANIR. I posted on the official VANIR thread about it. :) Have a good one today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ttakacs:
Have you tried the Mokee ROM? I flip back and forth from CM11 to the Mokee 8-Nov-2014 release. CM11 has working 4g, which Mokee doesn't have. But Mokee has always been more stable on my phone. I haven't tried flashing Lanchon's trim kernel recently with Mokee. I did when Lanchon first released his kernel and it didn't work with Mokee. Lanchon says that his later builds are all compatible with AOSP-based ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
Is reboot to recovery not working for anyone else? Reboot works fine, but choosing reboot to recovery causes it to sit at the "rebooting..." dialog and I have to pull the battery. I was on build 2015.01.25. Now I'm on 2015.03.01. Problem persists.

Also, when I updated, I couldn't use CMupdater. I popped up saying the updater had crashed. When I turned the phone off and booted into recovery, it popped up with the updater and it said the the update file had an invalid signature. So CM updater started to do something. I rebooted into recovery again and manually updated and it worked fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xruptor:
Hmm I can't say I have tried it. The latest build saids they fixed the 4G issue using dustins fix. Maybe I should give it a try as well? Looks really cool
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mavrikmeercat:
Yep I can confirm the bug. I Did the same thing you did. 1/25 - 3/01 reboot recovery from the power menu doesn't work. If you open a terminal and

$su

#reboot recovery

It works just fine so it's probably a mistake in a string inside /system/framework. I just haven't had time to unpack it and look. Definitely a bug though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s2rooter:
First time installing CyanogenMod

Just wanted to say thank you to all involved for developing such an awesome build.

This was my first ever attempt at installing a custom rom. It is something new for me, and with all the insight on this thread I was able to accomplish my goal (not bricking my phone) lol. Seriously though, it's awesome to be running KitKat on my SPH-D710BST It feels like I own a brand new phone.

On my first attempt of the install I did get the status 7 error. I was using the kernel stock CWM EL26, but then I flashed to the blasphemy kernel 6.6-4.3 and my problem was solved. Install was then very smooth.

I installed cm-11-20150301-NIGHTLY-d710

I did have the following issue; the messenger app was not working fully, I would receive messages but I couldn't reply.

It was suggested by a friend that I try the new Google Messenger App from the play store, I did and it runs great!

Only problem I am having at this point is my battery doesn't hold a charge for more than about 10 hours. This morning I was at 75% rebooted my phone then it dropped to 22% I ran it dead and fully recharged it (turned off) to help re-calibrate it.

I am hoping after a few days it stabilizes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
It should stabilize after a few days. And that's great! This phone is sweet.

I can't get the stock Messaging app to *send* texts unless I am using the reply function in notifications. I can type out the whole text, but the send arrow does nothing. Any thoughts? I'm even running the latest nightly...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Linux guy:
Not per se. It's just not done. It's in the testing phase. Bugs are usually accidental and right now it's more of a hopefully-it-works deal

How to flash CM11 without "Unknown" MEID and Serial #

I just got a new S4, and am giving my E4GT to my wife. I had been running CM11 for some time, mostly successfully. Except I had my MEID and Serial # listed as "Unknown". I figured I botched a flash at one point, but Ting didn't seem to care about it. Until I was in Canada for a bit and my phone stopped being a phone, just a fancy android tablet.

So before giving this phone to my wife, I wanted to reflash it to stock to get back the MEID and then go to CM11. I did so, and the phone wouldn't activate. Turns out the MEID and Serial # went away again. I spent much of this holiday weekend trying different iterations of flashing it back to stock with ODIN, flashing an ICS modem with ODIN, using Mobile ODIN to go to EL26, and then using that to flash a recovery that will flash CM11 (since EL26 won't).

Every single time, with different combinations, the MEID goes away and so the phone can't be activated. I've seen some hints that maybe I have to activate the phone while using stock, but I swear people here have been able to use CM11 without losing their MEID, right?

I finally saw a note on some post somewhere that starting with CM10.x that the kernel doesn't read the base /efs because it is in RFS and the kernel doesn't support that but that "the installer" should make a mirrored copy and the missing MEID means that didn't work. Is that a lead? No? Yes?

I'd appreciate any help on this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
MEID and serial# being listed as unknown is normal. It's always been that way on CM11, and my current activated working phone is that way. If the phone needs to be activated, it needs to be activated using the stock ROM, then you flash back to CM11.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmosiejczuk:
Wasn't expecting that answer. No one mentions that problem and talks about it being a huge problem that causes issues. I *did* have it cause issues when I was up in Canada since suddenly I couldn't connect to the cell network, even roaming.

So was the reference I found to CM mirroring the efs only correct for CM10.x? Was it just inaccurate?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
I normally use CM11 but had to revert to stock in order to update PRL.

The CWM5 that I have now as a result of doing that can't flash CM11, of course, so it would be great if someone could make a link available for 10.2, which I will be able to flash to, and from it (which has CWM6), to CM11.

Incredibly, all copies of 10.2 have been removed from the Internet, as if it never existed. I'll put up a copy on Mega as another mirror if I can finally get it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drmock09:
Need a copy of 10.2 to get newer cwm 6 to upgrade to cm11

I have looked everywhere and all the links I find for 10.2 are dead. I can find 10.1 and 11 all day but not the one I need to get up to cm11. Does anyone have a good link or a cpoy somewhere I can get from them? It would be much appreciated!!! I've also looked on cwm's website and they claim their own software doesnt go up to cwm6 for the d710 even though I know it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
Look up a couple posts -- I found much the same thing.

10.2 was apparently only available on a parallel Earth. However, what I did was use Philz CWM, which makes 10.2 unnecessary as a bridge to 11 since Philz allows you to flash 11 (and when you do flash 11, Philz will be overwritten with CWM6.x). The one I used is philz_touch_6.19.3-d710.zip.

Does no one really have a 10.2? If someone does have it I'll be glad to mirror it in my website ^~^

I wonder if it's possible to build it from source still
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
What's with the recovery.img now being displayed next to the build? Isn't the recovery always included in the build zip?

I had the same problem with the changelog recently. But there wasn't much info on there anyway. I noticed once I got on cm11 the changelog is under about phone and there's a lot more info there then there ever was on the website changelog.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] taiyoko:
I've been fighting with this for at least six hours now. I finally got the TWRP recovery installed as per CM's install guidelines, but now every single zip I attempt to flash with it gives me a Status 6 error that no amount of editing updater-script fixes. As I no longer even have the 10.1 zip from what I had on it before, my phone is soft-bricked with currently no hope (unless I can get some from y'all).

I can't even try changing to the Philz recovery as all links for that are dead.

Please help!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rseiler:
I was looking over the results from that URL vs a number of other phones chosen at random -- they're identical.

If this is really all that's being updated in builds now with CM11, there's clearly no point in updating anymore, is there? Or might there be some underlying system-level things (unlisted) that still make it worthwhile?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
The CM11 updates for the last few months have been all very minor.

From what I've read, there will be no more security updates for CM11 on any devices. There is one (known) remaining Stagefright vuln that will not be fixed in CM11.

I have my fingers crossed that someone will get a newer version of CM working on this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers in troubleshooting a problem I've with CM11 since late 2014. I started after a certain build, but it was so long ago I can't remember which build that was.

Problem does not occur while on stock.

I lose telephony functions almost daily at random times. When this happens I can not make/receive calls or send/receive SMS, There is also massive battery drain and the phone gets warm to very warm.

When in this state, the dialer will lock up when the call button is pressed. The red button turns to grey and sits there. No timer appears. When I reboot the phone, I can hear the disconnect sound that plays when I call is disconnected or hung up.

For close to a year, I've had Tasker reboot the phone daily every morning. Doing that, problem would occur only once or twice a month, usually in the afternoon or evening, which was bearable. Now, for the past month or two, it's been happening more frequently. Pretty much daily. My scheduled reboots no longer prevent it. It can happen any time of day. One morning it happened twice. I noticed it around 5:00am and rebooted the phone. Later, Tasker did a scheduled reboot at 7:00, and a few hours later telephony was out again and I had to do another reboot.

I often get poor signal at home, but this also happens if I'm somewhere with perfect signal. I use GSam Battery Monitor, and the signal graph it provides doesn't always show a lack of signal for the time this is happening, so most times I can't tell when this problem started or for how long it went on until I noticed.

Also when this is happening, BetterBatteryStats will show a history of high CPU usage, usually a lot at 800mhz, I think. Which explains the battery drain and warmth. Though, I do get this problem without the telephony issues, and I have to clear cache/dalvik to fix it. So the two problems may not be connected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmosiejczuk:
The problem I was having with texts was solely a problem with the texting app not recognizing when I pressed the send button. I installed the "KitKat texting app ported to jellybean" and everything worked fine. So if you are having the same problem as me, another texting app other than the base CM app should help.

--Kurt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tommyguns818:
Dude. Thanks. So I downloaded Textra and sending texts work. It's a nice band aid but its crazy that the stock one is messed up like that. Do know if the last Snapshot is the same? I would like to know which CM11 rom/nightly has working texting from stock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kmosiejczuk:
I had handed my E4GT down to my wife, but bought her a new Moto E some 6 months or so ago, so I don't know if the latest snapshots would be different, but I doubt it. I really couldn't get anyone to acknowledge the brokenness of the stock app, and the main developers of CM for this phone seemed to have gone dormant at the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HulkSmashBurgers:
I've always used Textra, since MMS has never worked on this ROM, at least for Virgin Mobile, not sure about Sprint. Textra allows you to set the APN settings manually to allow MMS to work.

Here are the settings for VIrgin Mobile. I don't know what they would be for Sprint.

MMSC: http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088/mms?

MMS proxy: 205.239.233.136

I'm pretty sure sprint settings are set by default when you install textra. You just have to enable manual apns in textra settings.
