Yeah I'm postitive, a pre-wipe hasn't been necessary since TRiNiTY. Just follow the instructions and you good to go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
I love the new rom 1601 in quad. Loving it so far so good. But it didn't delete anything from my sd card
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
yeah 99 times out of 100 it wont wipe your sdcard ...but there's still that 1 time where it could and i wouldn't wanna be cought without my stuff, so i tell everyone to backup their sdcard
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
need help

I currently have the quantum 2.7 ext4 rom... can i switch over to viperrom 4.0.2 without a odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
yeah it didnt wipe my sd card. loving it btw
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes you can ...you just have to make sure that you flash all zips ...1-4 because if you don't flash the first two, you cant flash the ROM, and the last one is the Kernel which HAS to be flashed AFTER the ROM. Just download the ZIP, and follow the instructions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] uwanafeelapino:
edit: trying out the new 4.0.2a

anyone notice battery level issues. mine jumped form 100% to 80%, I also use android system info and it says 73%. to my knowledge they both use to read about the same.

Question..

..::VIPERmod Governer Killer::.. will this make the 3g speed faster for sure? does it say flash at your own risk because it might harm it? sorry, i'm just very curious because im about to flash this
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Download ViperStore from the market if you don't have it already, then download "Dalvik2Cache And Undervolt" and flash that through clockwork. Let the battery drain to 0, recharge to 100 and the battery life should be amazing after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I say flash at your own risk for all the Mods i do because i have to cover myself ...i have yet to meet ANYONE that has had issues with it. There was a post a little while ago with peoples speeds before and after, and the speeds jumped considerably after they installed it. There isn't anything added in the file that could corrupt your phone, so you're 100% safe to flash it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
thank you for the quick response! i love your rom :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
So far this has been the only fc that I have been getting does anyone know what this means and has anyone gotten this yet.

The application com.sec.android.app.screencapture (process com.sec.android.app.screencapture) has stopped unexpectedly. I have gotten this about 10 times now it only happens ever once in a while when i press the back button or when i just open a app but nothing closes or stops working this message is just annoying.
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
I get that and the gingerbread keyboard
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cali77:
Might be a silly question, but why is this update takes more work then the other ways we usually flash a rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Because it's going to EXT4 ...which is faster.
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
need help

bt... its not letting me flash the zips... believe its because iam in ext4 already and damean mentioned something about edify in his thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Ok so honestly I have only read about 4 pages out of 53. Still I have flashed many many ROMs on my epic and a bunch of other phones for my friends.

Couple of quick questions I didnt see answers too.

I am running the newest clockwork 3.0.0.5 with EXT4 already. I am running the quantum rom atm.

Due to Viper trashing everyone else in the poll gonna try it out.

Read all the OPs.

Seems like steps 1 and 2 for the newest version get you the newest clockwork and EXT4 installed and working. As I already have these I was thinking I could do a full wipe, wipe caches and then just flash the ROM and kernel (step 3 and 4).

Was just about ready to do when I saw a cpl posts up you told someone they HAD to flash all four steps.

Is this true if you are running the new clockwork and EXT4 already?

Thanks!

Oh and just by what I have read so far, this is a great team, looking forward to getting on board! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
the edify was only referring to Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
problem..

its not letting me flash the servicesjar_signed.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] makipsee:
i dont think u need this anymore
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
thanks but its still not letting me install the first zip...
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Is this and the viperstor .zips clockword 3.0.0.5 compatible yet?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I believe in order to flash anything, you have to flash "1. Flash First", then go to advanced and reboot recovery ...then you'll be in the new recovery and you can flash stuff then
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
help

think im bricked guys can someone help me out.

ran through all the steps followed perfectly.

phone booted signed in to google. selected launcher pro and got fc . so i rebooted and phone has got stuck at sammy boot for 10mns .

reboot same thing . so i tried to odin back to dk28 , said passed but still will not pass sammy boot. what to do .:(
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I'm not sure how that works, as i have not tested with the new clockwork ...i do know that regardless of what you do, you have to flash the ROM then flash "4. Flash Last" (which is the kernel) afterwards or it wont work
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
About to install....I hope I am not that 1%!. THANKS FOR THE THOROGH AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
boot into recovery, flash the first flash again, then go to advanced and "reboot recovery" ...then proceed with the install again, you should get it back then
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Hey guys i think mine is stuck in a boot loop or something like that i installed the data govener and the dalvik2cache and when i restarted it would load ok but when i get to the lock screen it just restarts and just runs the startup animation again it keeps doing that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
i honestly think its not letting me even flash the first zip because im already ext4 on another rom... i think i have to odin back to rfs and then follow theses steps...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Are you getting the error on line 2 for "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
@teamviper is it necessary to do all 4 steps if we already have ext 4 and cwm 3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
That's odd ...that's the first i heard of that ...i'd try reflashing zips 1, 3, and 4. (You MUST flash 4 after you flash 3 or it wont work)
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Your not bricked try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
line 2 it is..
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
I'm not sure as i haven't tested it yet ...but try flashing zips 3 and 4 from the download and post results ....3 and 4 is just the ROM and Kernel. (zip 4 MUST be flashed AFTER zip 3 or it wont work. Zip 4 is the kernel)
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
I already did this when i installed the rom. Do I have to do it again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
I don't think you hae to do 1 and 2 if you have don't the ext4 and the cwm. If you guys don't mind try it and let the devs know. You all want roms and then say ill be the tester well test it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, we recently just ran into this problem. You're going to have to Odin back to stock DK28 then start over. It will boot right up after that. I believe it's because it's already running EXT4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Bt is this modded cwm you refer to cwm3 or your own variant?
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
no go on flash three
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Sorry, i should have been more clear. The Data Service Governer Killer comes baked in, but if you want to flash anything else, then follow the steps i posted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
Lol there are people that will test but not me...sorry not comfy with odin YETTT...
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
on flash three it states an installation failure.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Nah it's not CWM3 ...I Haven't put that in yet ...but since you already got CWM3, theoretically, you should be able to just flash the ROM and the Kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
that 1st link no good . didnt work for my. bt i tried what you said got an abort message when trying to reflash . and when i hit advance reboot to recovery it goes straight to sammy thats it and hangs up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
This is what I did

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

Odin phone to DK28.tar (whole ROM)

Install with Odin3_v1.0.exe and s1_odin_20100512.pit, SPH-D700-DK05-Extended.rar (Uncheck F. Reset Time)

(Link: http://www.multiupload.com/FU8S28969Y) (ODIN, PIT, and ROM in zip file)

Make sure GPS locks after installing

Install with Odin3+v1.61 and no PIT needed, SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar (Uncheck F. Reset Time)

ROM (Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794138)

ODIN (Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?z5nwqqz79f6ai5q)

Make sure GPS locks after installing

If you want to root again. Install one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5 with clockworkmod Redirector 2.5.1.0 to phone

(Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388)

Then did 1 thru 4
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cali77:
Will future updats include this ext4 where we can flash as we normally would in the future?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yes, you're going to have to Odin back to DK28 stock, use the one click root/recovery and start over ...it will boot right up after that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Yeah, i'm pretty sure it'll all be just included together... We're actually working on an updater-script to flash everything in 1 go so there's no issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jpcahn:
Help Exchange Account support is gone!

Viper Rom always had Exchange account available until now. The only email account available is Google. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] wj0t:
oh, lol. i did skim through the post so i probably missed a lot of the added features.. thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
The email flash is available in the ViperStore. Just download and flash through the modded CWM. Flash 1. Flash First, then go to advanced, then reboot recovery, then it will reboot, then flash the email.zip and reboot ...you'll have email then.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
Can someone help It wont let me reinstall the rom its saying line 2 error and when i try to do the backup it gets stuck on lost+found on the cache. Is there anyway I can get my phone to work again i cant install any roms or get the backup to work do i have to go back to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Ok, coming from CW 3.0.5 with EXT4 you can NOT just flash 3 and 4.

Just tried got an error.

"Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer suported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockwork mod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to creat working update zip packages.

Installation aborted."

You have been warned ;)

Will post back when I got everything working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Unfortunately Yes... You'll have to Odin back to stock DK28, then use the one click root/recovery and flash 1-4 again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
Thanks a lot for the feedback :) ...i really appreciate the info!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
So do i have to do a complete factory reset with the stock rom and then do the one click and odin all over agian.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
How come no one stated on how awesome the bootup is!. Now this time... Really please don't change this! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Apparently even flashing the first of the four gives the same error. I am going to have to odin back to stock.

Not really sure why this is. If the ROM is EXT4 compatible seems like this should work. But I am no dev so what do I know. *shrug*
[Epic 4G Android Development] BThomas22x:
In this order...

1. Odin to DK28

2. Use OneClickRoot/Recovery to re-root and add recovery

3. Re-flash the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cali77:
Sounds good. I think I'll wait on that particular update then. Thanks man all you guys are doing a great job.
[Epic 4G Android Development] USMC_LOPEZ:
Thankz and good job.. Will donate soon.

[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
BT and Team Viper: I followed your directions and everythings perfect! You guys knocked it out of the park! Its effen great! Thanks again for all of the hard work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Just to be clear here.

YOU CAN NOT FLASH THIS ROM AT THIS TIME IF YOU ALREADY HAVE CLOCKWORK 3.0.5 INSTALLED.

You have to start with clockwork 2.5.x or it will not work!

While I have "Odin"ed a bunch of times to fix things, I have not actually had to odin all the way back to unrooted stock in a very long time. Having already flashed the new clockwork 3.0.5 with EXT4, in order to make this version of this ROM work I had to odin back to FULL STOCK without any clockwork, and reroot with CW 2.5.x.

You must follow the directions in the OP carfuly! I caused myself far more work than needed by not slowing down and taking my time.

I am working on doing everything from scratch again, slowly this time. :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] fromchaos0646:
Is there a way that I can see that I am running ext4 for sure? I followed eveything in the op for flashing the newest viper rom to a t. I just want to make absolute sure that I did it corectly.

Also, I tried to flash the gingerbread theme and when I rebooted, it hadn't changed whatsoever. Sorry, I just hate the stock viper theme.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:

[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
yeah thanks i tried that. couldnt get the first link to work . but did try others and it seems when in download if not mistaken the should be a download bar on screen of phone. well i dont have that . but again it says passed and will only reboot to sammy . seems im screwed at this point as this is my business phone . lesson serverly learned.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
Optional to verify ext4 on phone....

Put phone into usb debugging and plug into computer

Go to command promt and type: adb shell mount (on computer)

you should see

something

like this to verify ext4

(This sample is not from my phone, not sure if all will be the same, just to show where to look for ext4)

((((((notice ext4 in))))))

/dev/block/stl9 /system ext4 rw,noatime,odiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto _da_alloc 0 0

/dev/block/stl10 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data= ordered,noauto_da_alloc 0 0

I apologise if question was answered and I missed it, I am getting FCs when I try the installed Gingerbread keyboard. Can I flash the one I was using on Afterlife without any problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Will re-rooting with the one click exploit v2.5.5 erase my ROM and revert me to stock again?
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
No it won't you need to odin back. Then you use the one click to install the root and cwm
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdawg929:
I just flashed the newest rom and i like it as i do all the other ones but is there a way to get the old launcher back? the one that was in the afterlife rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skandranon314:
Ok finally got everything working correctly.

I think it would be a good idea to update to OP to warn people that this will not work if you are on Clockwork 3.0.5, IMHO. Even after Odining to full stock and rerooting, following all the directions, and successfully installing the rom and kernel, I am still on clockwork 2.5.1.0. I have never had to revert clockwork before to install a rom. Although to be fair 3.0.5 is brand new not even two days old yet.

In any case any problems were of my own creating and following the directions correctly worked perfectly! Rom is smooth and fast. Far too soon to compare but so far so good.

Only reason I am posting this really is to help out the devs and anyone else who may be trying to come from CW 3.0.5.

Thanks for another great ROM for the EPIC! Was starting to think the dev scene for the epic was dead, then all of a sudden it exploded!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
explain what you mean by "odin back"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] A4b_mercenary:
What are you trying to go back to stock dk28 or stock dk05. And odin is a program to install files to your phone so what you have to do is

1. Open odin up.

2. Put your phone in dl mode by pushing 1 and the power then plug in to computer.

3.put the pit in. The pit slot and then put the .rar in the pda slot push start and should reboot and to stock then re do alover again with the dk28 file

Hope that helps if not ill do my best to walk you through.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Domminater:
Well right now I have a DK17 baseband running the 2.6 Viper ROM, and I want to apply the 4.0.2a ROM, so would I still have to do the same process? If not what should I do?

[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
flashed the rom easily, and it's lookin' great... awesome job Viper team!

Hi BT, I think I realized what was happening with the undervolt mod on 4.0.1, based partly on a blurb I caught in another thread: as the battery did eventually drain down to it's last quarter or so, it didn't like beng undervolted, and shut down. but, since it really did have power left in the battery, it started to boot up again, and shut down, and boot up, kind of in a circle? that seems to be what was happening on mine anyway. is that possible? or maybe you have thought about this already?

also, I'm curious about the battery icon on 4.0.2.... is my mind being blown and my battery has not dropped down past zero yet?? or did I miss in the thread earier that the battery icon does that? that would be awesome if it was the former, lmao. but when charging, I'm seeing the icon seemingly indicating that there's no charge.

oh, and lastly, how bout this.... VIPER PHONE!!!!! lmao. hardware specificaly designed to run viper rom... The Viper Phone... hah! loftly, yes, but hey.... possible? someday? LOL!

P.S. I think my mind IS being blown... my battery DID finaly drop down to 98. if this is for real then maaaaan! amazing.. lol.

[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
I am coming from Viper ROM 4.01. I followed the instructions included in the download for Viper ROM 4.02. Everything seemed to go smooth. When I rebooted at the end of the process and started the set up script, I allowed Google to restore my apps. This downloaded my previous apps and everything seems to be working great. One thing I am seeing is that my SD card still has all the previous information on it. It was like the install process didn't reformat the SD card. Did Google download everything back to my SD card or did something go wrong in the process and I am not running the ext4 file system? By everything, I mean my pictures are still on my sd card, all my clockwork backups, my sms back up and restore backups, etc.

By the way everything seems to be running great and the about phone screen shows Viper ROM 4.02 with EXT4. I just want to make sure I am getting everything out of the ROM I should.
