This type of behavior reminds me of compulsive gambling. He's bricked three phones and yet he's still going at it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] codkill:
Well thats the truth. I love working with devices like this and don't give up... usually.

Thank you for the information. It must be these computers. Im going to install xp on an old laptop and try again if I can get it back to download mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xodaQo:
To be truthful, I'm the same way, but if I bricked one phone trying I probably wouldn't have another go at it.

Just keep in mind that if you have actually bricked three separate phones and keep replacing them, there's going to be a point when someone asks themselves, "why has this guy complained about THREE bricked phones?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] gullzway:
Have you tried the Volume Down Button??

My bet is you have a bad cable. I spent 3 Frustrating days before going to bestbuy and buying a $20 blackberry MicroUsb cable. It flashed the first time after that. Also you should always be able to hold 1+power and insert the battery to get into download mode, pretty hard to Actually Brick an Epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] codkill:
As weird as it sounds, they do not power on no matter what. Sprint gave me a new shiny Epic with another battery and sd card, so it wasn't so bad...I guess. But im staying away from Odin for now, only update zips and adb. Unless someone that lives in downtown Chicago and has used Odin on their computer and knows it works wants to flash my phone for me!?!? I don't know what the weak link in this was for me (computer, cable, specific port) but don't want to mess up another phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
Thanks for the advise. I noted having this lag issue back on page 18 and hadn't found a solution yet. I had the lag problem from the start, but I've been using this for about a month now.

I wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache 3x each. I think the dalvik was the culprit- the first wipe took a moment, but successive wipes were rather instant.

I have a noted improvement in the lag -no more lag- with one exception. Sliding the phone keyboard out still produces a 5-10 second lag in bringing back the shortcuts and widgets. Auto-rotation otherwise isn't a problem- just sliding the keyboard out.

I had minimal data loss after the wipe. A few old emails downloaded again, FB had to reload all the content. Otherwise the wipe went smooth.

-UPDATE- 1-26

Lag has resumed after 1 day. I am again experiencing the lag when closing apps and sliding the keyboard out.

-Update- 2-24

The odexed version was better performing and ran smoother for longer. But I couldn't paste any files in the system folders. It always indicated that there was insufficient space. Weird.

Anyway, I just updated to eb13 with the genocide 1.2ghz kernel and converted to ext4 and my epic has never been this cool before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kylechx:
well, with the new update rolling out the next few days, can't wait to see this updated with the new ROM. Especially since we won't get the OTA update
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
EB13 extended posted, RFS at the moment, ext4 coming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
Bump, Ext4+Clockwork 3.0.0.6 updated.

Enjoy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
This is exactly what I was waiting for!

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
A few people have been having a problem using Voice Dialer with Bluetooth earpieces on at least one EB13 ROM.

On a whim, I tried both the RFS and the EXT4 versions of this and noticed something interesting.

RFS (CWM 2.5): Voice Dialer works fine with Bluetooth.

EXT4 (CWM 3): Voice Dialer doesn't work with Bluetooth.

Other than EXT4, has anything changed between the two downloads?

EDIT: Yup, it's deodexed. I'm guessing there's something in the deodexing that introduces the bug, since it was first noticed in Dameon's deodexed EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
fergot to update the front page with that link..

the cw2.5 is odexed, the cw3 is deodexed cuz ext4 HATES odexed
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
Unfortunately, Dameon's Voice Dialer fix doesn't fix the Bluetooth voice dialing problem. That pretty much means we can't have both EXT4 and Bluetooth Voice Dialing. :( I have some tough choices to make.

EDIT: I forgot to say it before: Thank you for this!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Muscles:
That's it. You've got EB13 Release and clockwork preinstalled, rooted, and ready to use.To get into Clockwork, hold Volume Down Camera and Power to flash your own rom.

After the whole Odin process do I need to flash a rom or am I fine when the odin is done?
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
thats actually more a personal choice, i tend to just take stock use the SDX app remover to get rid of the bloat and move on with that.. for now til more roms come out that are whichever version you odin'd(rfs or ext4) i'd stick with just stock and sprint stuff removed to save lots of bugs and persistent flashing(unless you're a flash junkie)
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
NP!

as to the BT issue, i believe that's because on the odexed version it's missing some of the alsa configuration fiels and drivers for some reason(like dbus.conf and alsa_sound.conf "might" fix it, of course that could just be related to the ext4 kernel that dameon built. since that's what im using for the ext4 version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Muscles:
Thank you thank you thank you. I will be doing this to mines and the wife's when she gets home. I prefer stock as well. One more can I que the Oct kernel after I odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bagelicious:
This is what I have been waiting for! Big thank you to everyone who contributed to this! You guys are awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
i love u man! <3
[Epic 4G Android Development] ms79723:
weird thing...none of this works for me now. idk whats goin on. i actually updated to 2.2.1 with the samsung installer that was posted on their website..and ever since then i cant get Odin to work. Cant go back to 2.1, cant go to DK28, cant use this, the only way i can get my phone to boot up now is by using that samsung program. this is crazy. its all good though and I thank you for putting this up for people. I wish it would work for me but its all good..no short cuts for me this time :/
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I had Bonsai 2.0.1 on dk28 w/ gingerbread 1.9 theme, genocide 1.2 OC kernel. Went into CWM, wiped everything 2x, battery pulled, Odined using the CWM3+ext4 zip from this thread. Worked perfectly!

Huge thanks buddy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mr.Muscles:
Sweet, and to confirm the overclock kernel works. This phone is really nice now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drivenapollo:
Thank you so much for releasing this. I can not get my computer to root my phone on stock eb13. I have installed and uninstalled drivers, with dozens of reboots. Even upgraded to windows 7 to see if that fixed it... lol ya . Your dk28 extended was the best and now you released the update! I can't thank you enough.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Interesting. This bluetooth dialing issue on the EB13 version of the ROM - is the issue just that bluetooth dialing itself doesn't work, or that bluetooth as a whole doesn't work? I installed the EB13/deodexed/ext4 ROM and everything works fine except that I can't even pair bluetooth headsets to the phone anymore. When I try, I usually get a FC from android settings...
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
I don't have any problems pairing. And the earpiece works with Vlingo, so it looks like it's just a problem with the Voice Dialer. You may be experiencing an unrelated issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
I would like to note that the following work on this rom:

Asop lockscreen

App widget picker

Comfortaa fonts

I picked up the above from midnight rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] undagroundrican:
where to install Voice search Fix for ext4 deodexed?

sorry very noob question but im coming from an evo and im trying to get used to this .tar and .pit method with odin, should i just replace the system files with these?
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
Very dumb, basic question but I honestly have everything else covered. I'm currently on RFS - will flashing this convert me to EXT4 or do I need to be on EXT4 beforehand?

I know Clockwork 3.x is on here but I'm not sure if the ROM will convert my filesystem or if it needs to be on ext4 first.

Thanks for the flash and I can't wait to clarify that.

Ok, since this is a full wipe anyway the answer is self-evident. Flashing away......
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
OP, this looks like EXACTLY what I need, but I have a few questions if you don't mind so I am sure.

CLIFFS: Epic 4G, running FROYO(downloaded from Samsungs site). Things were going smooth and then I decided to get rid of some apps via SDX removal and Titanium Backup. Well, all hell broke loose and weird things were happening. So, can I safely ASSUME(yeah I know) that this flash is for me as to achieve Froyo, Rooted, with CLockwork? BTW, I backed up my apps via Titanium. Also, should I reformat ths SD card or just leave it? THANKS!:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
You use Odin to flash the tar file

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
Whoot!!!!! Wunnerful, wunnerful. The whole shebang with one tar file. No problems I can tell so far. Pandora works, Music player works, camera works. Bluetooth including voicedial works wooohoooo!!!! Have to go out to check out GPS. Would there be any benefit to flashing the Genocide 0.3a kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
My bluetooth voice dialing is working just fine. Bluetooth paired up and connected right off the bat. I Odined back to DI18 from DK28 and flashed the deodexed version in the OP. Happy as a pig in s#$%.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes there would be a benefit in speed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Yes flash this. I would suggest using the cwm3 version just make sure before you boot into cwm you have a compatible kernel like genocide. It will be much faster than stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
Stoney, can you confirm that the Voice Dialer app actually works with your BT headset? That is, you press the dial button on your headset, the Voice Dialer pops up, and you can then dial by voice via your headset?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
I attempted this the first time and everything locked up. So, I unconnected it and when I went to power my phone, I had a funky looking symbol(Phone-Triangle-PC). So, I booted into download mode, followed the instructions and BINGO. All good, used titanium backup, restored everything. A little tweaking and back to normal. THANKS! BTW, I am clueless on KERNELS, so I just used the method from the original post and it worked for me.

BTW: I used 2.5 and worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
2.5 works great, I just prefer 3 because it converts to ext4 and you get a performance boost. Kernels are very simple. You flash them just like a rom only they require no wiping beforehand.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hyuga:
This worked like a charm. I installed this over DK28 custom ROM. Used the ext4/CWM3 version.

Easy and fast way to get to stock EB13. Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] IMPuLSe EX:
fk yeah!

Thanks a lot, mate. :D

You literally made my weekend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quicksand Jesus:
This is great, but does anyone have a mirror that doesn't go to one of these cheap spam sites?

Looking for a mirror the the EXT4 version, TIA!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Quick question, can I flash to any ROM now and if I happen to not like the ROM, how does one flash back? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
Completely didn't work for me coming from DK28. Totally bricked, can't even enter download mode or get anything whatsoever to display on the screen. Remove battery, three finger salute, plugged, unplugged, every combination of those, no dice.

edit: Screen of odin. I am absolutely bricked here, recommend everyone stay away from this method until it doesn't ruin phones (even a small fraction, I'm sure many have flashed successfully).
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
Uhh...why is PDA unchecked on your odin screenshot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] slidez:
Redirector working for everyone else? I can get into CWM3 fine with the 3 button method but quickboot just boots me into the stock recovery...
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
So you didn't follow the directions and manually unticked the PDA box and you'd warn otehrs that this method is broken? tsk tsk

The reason it bricked you is that you repartitioned and didnt have anything selected to write to those partitions with odin.

What you did was essentially like formatting a harddrive without bothering to put system files on it so that it was bootable.

Hate to say it but it's user error here, not the method or the flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Just in case for future reference which boxes should be checked under the options in odin. All three or just the re-partition and auto reboot. I am only interested in ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
You can leave whatever is ticked when you open it, ADD the tick for pda and pit if you've loaded those files and if you're changing between ext4 and rfs, ie coming from an rfs rom and wanna flash the ext4 or coming from ext4 and flash the rfs, tick repartition.

but IF you tick repartition MAKE SURE that PIT AND PDA are loaded and have ticks next to them.(thats the important part.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
Should the CW3+ext4 version be automatically converting to ext4? Because my experience was flashing that (complete with repartition tick), then booting into CWM3 and having it convert my partitions to EXT4. (And getting great file I/O benchmark improvements after the conversion!)

So I'm not sure what the repartitioning did. Oh well. Still worked for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] musclehead84:
I love how people tell you to stay away from doing something when it was their fault. Follow the directions.

Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
OP, can I flash any ROM now, also if I flash a ROM that I don't like, how and can I flash back to my original set up? THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
Absolutely user error. No thought, of course, is given to the idea that software should try to warn or even prevent user error from a single errant click.

And no, I didn't intend to uncheck 'PDA' -- note that I *SELECTED* the file so I obviously I was following the directions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
That's funny, I did follow directions -- where in the directions does it say "Ensure that PDA is checked"? Was I supposed to magically infer that step or something? I selected the file, per the instructions (obviously, since its listed).

Or where did Odin warn me for that matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
Maybe this should be added to the top post. If that were written up there, I would have checked (per this whole "following directions" thing).
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
I can't plan for every possibility, Odin it's my program it's samsungs and it's what we use. While I will be adding this to avoid issues in the future, let's be honest here, it's not up to me to check and teach everyone how to use a program thats been the epic's major tool since it's bee introduced. as a side note if you select the file it adds the check mark they only way to get rid of it would have been to manually untick it.

Once again, if you're unsure about something go look up the answer.

If it looks wrong don't do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Stoney60:
EXACTLY!!! Although I wish other voice control commands such as "PLAY" to start the music player to the album/artist commanded worked as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
That's all I ask, that the warning be placed up so that a particular mistake (and it was my mistake, no doubt) only be made once.

Plus the Sprint Store said they'd have a new one for me tomorrow, so that's not too bad.

[ Oh, and Odin may have been used since forever but this was still my first go. ]
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I am sorry to hear about your issue, but if you have to put a file somewhere doesn't it make since that you would load that file? It's not like you try to install software on a computer without putting the disk in the cd drive or downloading the file first. It is impossible for a dev to think of every way someone could mess something up especially when it seems to be so much of a common sense item.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nonzenze:
Don't sweat it, it happens.

Actually, in my line of programming (I do HPC/scientific computation) we spend immense effort validating data and ensuring that the user does not enter something incorrect or inconsistent (or do something we haven't tested). Coming around to this field I have to remind myself that it's not how things are done here.

As to the actual matter, it would be nice (but not compulsory obviously) to emit a warning when the PIT is being written but not the PDA. Something like "You probably shouldn't be doing this. Continue anyway Y/N?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] lsujim:
I followed the instructions and everything worked fine with the installation. However, I'm now unable to download anything for the Android Marketplace. It keeps saying, "Download Error: Download was unsuccessful, please try again". I went back to stock sprint using the Samsung phone flash and it still will not download anything from the market place. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit: I got it working. It was an error during the syncing of my gmail account. Thank you for this easy root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] art3mis-nyc:
that line up tehre that i mistyped should read "It's NOT my program, it's a util we "borrowed" from samsung" Feel free to write them i'm sure they'll be happy to do an update for ya sometime next week, but have to push the update til next year because windows might be putting out an update ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] f10g44:
does anyone have working 4g after odining the cw3+ext4 version, then doing file system change in cw3? if so how? everything works untill i boot into recovery...
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Couple of questions...

So if I have stock EB13 already installed, I can just Odin to EB13 de0dexed with cwm3/ext4 installed?

When it's done, what happens afterward? Just boot up the device and bam? Or do I need to go into cwm3 and flash a kernel or whatever?

Will Heimdall work for this, or would you not reccomend it? (the mac/linux alternative of Odin)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
I've got that setup and just checked: 4g works for me. Have you updated your profile and PRL since ODINing?

- ODIN overwrites everything, so you can basically go from anything to anything. :)

- This version of the deodexed rom comes with a kernel that supports both rfs and ext4. When you ODIN it, you will be on RFS. The first time you boot to clockwork, it will convert to EXT4. But no, you don't need to flash a kernel if you don't want to.

- I am not familiar with heimdall, someone else will have to answer that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Thank you! Ill just do it on Odin when I get my hands on a PC to be safe (unless someone can confirm it)

So after cwm3 converts to ext4 I can just reboot?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bobulus:
Yep. Two quick things:

- Be aware that Odin will wipe all your user apps and data, so back that up with something first.

- I'd suggest doing the ext4 convert before reinstalling all your apps, because to do the conversion, it has to temporarily move all the stuff on the internal memory to somewhere else, so the more stuff on the phone, the longer it'll take.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lsujim:
Is there a way to display the stock startup sprint/samsung animation instead of the word android?
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
Was on stock EB13 (rooted with super one click) and wanted clockwork, this seemed like the easiest method.

Everything worked great. Just follow the instructions. Thanks a bunch art3mis-nyc!

And nonzenze, sorry you bricked but the first thing I look for before trying root type stuff with my phone is who bricked and how...so your fail at least gave me confidence following through *pats back* :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dzuchowski:
what do you mean tick repartition?

will this method also support other roms as well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Thanks for reposting the entire op... tick repartition means check the box next to it. Also make sure the boxes for your pit and pda file are checked. If they are not you will brick.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Really does that matter that much to you? There is a thread about boot animations go there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
OP, this Flash saved me, thanks. I did step one, flashing to CW2.5+RFS. My question, can I just go(it's been 4 days since flashing)and flash to CW3 +ext4? Will I loose anything? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
If you use odin you will lose everything on internal memory. If you flash cwm3 you should be fine, but make sure you have an ext4 compatible kernel ready if you don't already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jhdreamer:
Anyone know why CWM3 works fine on first boot to it but after installing a rom (supernova) it will not see sd card? I cant flash or do anything realy in recovery....
[Epic 4G Android Development] sandman512:
Got to be honest, a little confused at this point. Don't I need Odin to "FLASH"? And does it come with a EXT4 kernal? Sorry for noobness. THANKS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I tried extracting the .rar onto my mac, but it wouldn't let me?

Why not?

I mean, I could just use Heimdall instead of Odin so that shouldn't affect the .rar's extracting process to be corrupted?

I downloaded: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6

Anyone else have this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tommi_han:
Reboot will not redirect to cm3 only to stock recovery, any ideas?? Using reboot manager
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
You have to boot into cwm3 using the three finger death grip:

Power + Volume Down + Camera Key
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Guessing you are trying to use quick boot or rom manager. You have to use 3 or 4 finger method.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
It comes with a basic dual kernel, but using genocide will give you a faster phone. You flash roms and kernels in cwm recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] imtjnotu:
can anyone help me...i get to the modem.bin or the factoryfs.rfs and it just freezes...doesnt go anywhere and the screen turns blue or green...i have pda clicked but there is no box to check pit...it loads up and then just stopps everytime ive let it sit for 30 minutes and it does nothing
[Epic 4G Android Development] skee/07088:
what version of Odin are u using???

cuz every one i've used had the field for the pit file on top of the pda field....try using this one..posted from the 1st page.
