BThomas22x HELP!

I saw a video on YouTube by randyshear. He has his Epic running Android 2.2.1 DK17. I have to have this setup. Its an Epic on steroids. Forgive me because I am a noob but I was able to do the leaked Froyo update so if I can get the files on my desktop, I think I can follow your directions but how do I get the Odin, Clockworks Mod, and your ViperROM? Must I download them 1 by 1? Is there a link with all three? HELP ME PLEASE! I will stay up all night to get this setup.

did u make a back up at all before the modem flash? if not then try flashing the DI18 then go into clockwork and do a full wipe a couple of times then clear the dalvik then try flashing the rom then the modem... someone else care 2 help being im not a expert on this

[Epic 4G Android Development] Skubidu:
I accidentally allowed it to flash and went to the market, unchecked "update automatically" and selected "Uninstall Updates" and after the update to Flash 10.1 was gone, Hulu worked fine afterwards. No reflash of ROM needed in my case.

I get into download mode, open odin, plug my phone in, it is recognized, I put the DI18 in the PDA spot and flash it, it gets a little ways and says failed every time.

Rez,

Follow the following posts in this thread (post #687 through #691):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841948&page=70 -------> This will get you back to stock with DI18 basband modem.

You will be able to recover your DI18 modem and then reload whatever rom you desire.

BTW, modem.bin files don't go under the PDA. They go under phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wonderhunt:
I am a little lost at what you'd described. are you trying to install dk05 rom from this thread, but during the flash of the new modem, your phone won't boot. Or you cannot get into clockworkmod, but then you talked about install DI18 rom. it seems like you tried to do 3 different things that might conflict with each other.

My guess is that, if you have DI18 and without flashing this DK05 rom, your phone won't boot.

you can always take the battery out, wait 10 seconds and put it back in. Hold Volume down + Camera + power buttons all together, and that will get you into clockworkmod recovery.

if all failed, put the phone in download mode and flash the stock DI18 frimware and modem using Rodin to return to stock and start from there.

Hope I help a little.

Is there any reason why Speech input was taken off this rom? When I'm in the home screen and I press the search button it does nothing. Also my swype speech button doesn't not work because I have no speech files. Anyone else having this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rez0469:
I know the modem.bin goes in the phone slot. Here is the full story..

Last night I decided I wanted to but the viper rom on, it said you didn't have to flash the modem or the pit if you didn't want to. I figured I would give it a try so I downloaded Odin and the pit and modem files along with the impact rom. First I went to put the new modem and pit in while in download mode, it said it passed, I made sure only the two boxes were checked. My phone shut off and didn't turn back on. I waited 20 minutes to let it do its thing and still was nothing. I pulled the battery for a couple minutes then put it back in and thats when I kept getting the phone..triangle..computer. Today I got the modem and pit to install and it said it passed on Odin. the phone restarted and stayed on the samsung screen for a long time so I pulled the battery. I tried to get into clockworkmod recovery and it would only go to the samsung screen, the led wouldn't turn red like it did in the past, it just stayed on the samsung screen. No matter what I try or how long I wait it won't let me go into the clockworkmod recovery. I tried flashing a couple of the different stock roms that were out there. I open Odin, turn my phone on, boot into download mode, plug it into the usb, Odin sees it there. I put the DI18 rom in the pda spot and make sure the auto restart and debug are check marked, then push start and it does a couple things then fails.
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
ONLY reboot should be checked
[Epic 4G Android Development] wonderhunt:
Ahh.. like I had thought that's what you did. You should not have had flashed the modem first before the ROM. DK05 modem only works with DK05 Froyo firmware and above, DI18 will not work with it.

can you try the 3 button way to go into clockworkmod while the phone is off?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rez0469:
Three button combo doesn't do anything. Just boots the phone up like you are holding the power button. I saw some place in this thread that you should have the debug check marked also.

I posted a screen shot in the last post of my life story.

Edit: I just tried it with just the reboot one marked and it did the same thing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Follow the instructions found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773032

Download the Odin and the pit file found on this page. DO NOT DOWLOAD anything else.

DOWNLOAD "SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" from here:

http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV

Steps to flash back to stock:

1.) Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)

2.) Make sure you have the "SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" and the pit file inside the Odin folder.

3.) Start Odin and make sure only Autoreboot and debugEn are checked

4.) Load the pit in into PIT.

5.) Load the "SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5" into PDA

6.) Hit start. It will do its thing. Doesn't take long you can see the progress bar. Device should reboot and should be done.

If it sits on File Analysis for longer than 30 seconds its not going to happen.

OK so you did this and it didn't work or you are stuck at "File Analysis" or you got a Failed error

1. Check and make sure you do NOT have any other boxes on the left checked besides DebugEn and Reboot

2. Make sure you have the .pit file in the pit section and the .tar in the PDA section.

3. If you are stuck at File Analysis and you made sure that # 1 and # 2 were done or if you got an error then:

3a: Reboot your PC and pull the battery on your phone

3b: Wait for PC to reboot

3c: Open Odin

4c: Put batter back in phone, boot to download mode

5c: Once in download mode connect via USB to the PC

6c: Run it again

That's how I have been doing it. I did it again and it came up with the same damn error.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
I have no idea. I have always done it the Aridon way.
[Epic 4G Android Development] littlepr:
Down load all the files I mentioned to eliminate corrupted files (it happens).

Reboot your PC and shut off phone and pull battery. Start the entire process all over again after powering phone and PC back up. Odin is finicky so it might take a few attempts but hopefully you get lucky.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rez0469:
I hope so also. I love the phone when it boots up lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
nah you can check debug too, but i've never really encountered a problem with Odin so it never really mattered ....but those are the ONLY two that can be checked... reboot and debug.

UPDATE!!

Ok, So i'm uploading an update right now. It has the search button working and the calendar sync working for me. The only thing i can do is upload it and have some other people try it out. I've also added a few more features to it to make it run faster (even without the fix) and i've added a few apps. I've made a sdcard app folder so it will automatically put a folder on your sdcard with apps, and i've set up a2sd as well, and put an apk in the system files for this. Just play around a little bit and you'll see differences here and there. Got a whole new dialer look and made the status bar (dropdown) transparent. Let me know how ya'll feel about this one when it finishes uploading and let me know if i need to change/add anything.

ETA: 3 Hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:

gps doesnt work eather wtf. im done with this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] J3ff:
First of all, it really depends on how long since you flashed this rom as the GPS generally doesn't work at all as we think it's a software issue.

However, after flashing my gps WITHOUT ANY modification has worked fine all day.

Usually the gps bug will show it's ugly head somewhere after 12 hours to a day of running.

I'm not hopeful.

You will have the gps bug with every rom you run, until samsung puts out a fix for it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
if you have root explorer, you can multi select all your apps in "data/apps" and copy them to your sdcard, if not, i'm sorry but you'll have to download them again. You can always write them down so you'll remember which ones they are? lol sorry man...

When I go to "reboot into clockwork recovery" i get that samn damn error about E: failed to veryfy and E: signature verfification failed.

I'm using the "rom manager" you preinstalled ....... wtf am i doing wrong! :(

basically it wont boot into clockwork recovery mode. Just android recovery which doesn't work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
if you drop down to 200000 you'll get about average scores... which is why i added a2sd with my update so you can install your apps on the sdcard ...downside to installing them on the sdcard, you can't use widgets... it's just a thought though...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
if you don't have clockworkmod installed on your phone, i recommend going here and getting it... follow the instructions on the page and it will tell you how to install cwm. Once installed you can boot into recovery holding the camera, volume down, and power buttons at the same time.

I look at it this way ...someone else tested the 200000 and they had a lot of apps on their phone. So if they have that many apps on their phone and they ran with 200000 then their scores aren't going to be that high because it's full ...hence the a2sd that i've included so you can free up as much space as possible if you want to use the fix.
