what it will do for you!

website: keep up with the latest news and releases w/o digging through 300 pages of thready goodness

wiki: the wiki will be user driven and team viper supervised...so you guys will be in charge of populating the wiki

i also get E;cant cashe/recovery/log on first booting CW
[Epic 4G Android Development] shortyboy:
i ahd the same problem.It turns out that somehow my memory card got corrupt.So to fix this you'll need to save all your files on your card and format ur card either using ur pc/laptop or phone.in order to get ur phone running again,youll need to ODIN DK28.from there one click root then restart the install process of the viper rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nom303:
thanx ill try again and report
[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
ehh

i dont think this question has been brought up, but is there anyway to install the ViperGovernerKiller (i cant see the original post, i forgot the actual name) without installing the rest. I have DK28, EXT4 File format, and im currently running Clockwork 3.0.0.5 with the Quantom v2.7Rom.... if the answer is yes, can u plz tell me how...

and if no, do i have to install everything from the original post?

sorry for the newbish question...
[Epic 4G Android Development] nom303:
my comp wont recognize my phone, is there a way to use flash back to dk28 stock thru sdcard?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gbrement:
I am having the same issue as your #1 and I am running Afterlife 4.0.1. I have tried using different dialers and uninstalling apps that integrate with the dialer but nothing work.

Not experiencing #'s 2, or 3. I may have had the problem in 4, only with trying to display a pic in my handset message app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
ROD, this is such a major step forward.

Three cheers for Team Viper!

Will the ticket system be publicly viewable? That way you may avoid duplicate tickets. Not sure if it would work, but I foresee a boatload of tickets that homers like me can answer, perhaps public suggestions on the tickets. In the past couple days, 3 or 4 of us have answered dozens of questions...of course a lot of that has been re-hashing guidance from you guys.

Just a few thoughts
[Epic 4G Android Development] Doogiehowser:
Ok, this may seem dumb but im a noob when it comes to flashing roms (started yesterday) and i want to install 4.0.1 hell. im assuming it doesnt share the same instructions as 4.0.2a. correct me if im wrong but do i just reboot into cw, wipe data, cache and davlik 3x each and flash the rom? im arleady running another dk28 rom so i dont need to flash the modem via odin. Reason im doing 4.0.1 hell is that i had trouble flashing 4.0.2a. tried 3 seperate times and had to odin back to stock each time. Thank You ahead of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
I posted some comprehensive instructions several pages back. Search the thread for my name. People have had a lot of success flashing from stock to 4.0.1 then 4.0.2, including myself.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
heres a strange observation ive noticed.... why does my ram in the task manager say im using 208 out of 303 but my mini info widget says 100 and even lower sometimes? Which one of these is telling me the truth? im running 4.0b
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
You got it right. Once you have the dk28 modem flashed, viper 4.01 is flashed like any other rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Have you tried rebooting both your phone and computer and/or using different usb ports?

[Epic 4G Android Development] garr741:
is there a new download link for the 'ViperRom Governor Kill" the one posted that links to DropBox doesnt work.... help plz
[Epic 4G Android Development] Doogiehowser:
Im currently running quantum 2.7, do i need to odin back to stock and then move forward? or just CW then wipe data/cache/davlik then flash 4.0.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
resolved :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] narn17:
I just rooted and flashed to Viper ROM, and i need the google apps. Where can I find all the gapps and e-mail? i tried to search but all i find it Gapps for CM6. Also having problems with the MTM gingerbread keyboard, keeps force closing if i unselect swype
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
I have a question im on 4.0.2b right now and i was wondering can i format my sdcard i wanna start new on it but since its part of the file system the ext4 will something happen to my phone. Or am i perfectly ok formating my sd card and just moving back all the files i just finished backing up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I am such a mental midgit when it comes to computers! I got in the chat as Tony Montana and am still trying to learn how to use it. I would like to test the Wifi Tether. I will go back in the chat and learn on the fly...I hope. What a noob I am. How embarrassing!
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Love to help...as long as there's not a quota or anything. I have tax season coming up, so I may not be on as frequently, but I'm always happy to help.

...anything to get MY questions answered more quickly! ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
like Meatloaf said, i'd be happy to help out some as well, if you need anyone else. I use my phone a good amount, and I think the team has done an amazing job getting the ROM to where it is, it's just running so great...... speed, battery life, etc., and I look forward to seeing where it will go :)

cheers!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Webinator:
This might be a noob question but can you get live wallpaper to work on the rom. I have a sick Matrix live wallpaper that I would like to use but if I cant its no biggie.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Arghhhhhh I think I deleted something important from my phone files because I tried to go back to trinity while I had apocalypse and that didn't work, I couldn't get passed the samsung screen. So I used odin to put it back to stock which worked but now it won't update. At all. :( any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
Sooo I honestly probably plug up my phone once a day now (used to be about five or more). Whatever you guys did, was the BEST WORK I have EVER SEEN! LoL. Also my sd card issues happens 2 out of 5 instead of 5 out of 5 now lol, for what ever reason that is. But I will say my phone has been rebooting on its on ever so often, maybe 3 times a day. Could be due to the stress I put on it, but sometimes im not even using it :(. Thats the ONLY problem I see. Other then the drop down buttons not showing in the 4.b update. I really liked Heaven's dropdown, will that be compatible in the future?
[Epic 4G Android Development] harismahesh:
I tried to start from the begining....

But ODIN failed and now when I start the phone, a black screen with a small picture of mobile and system connected by a line and triangle in middle is shown...

Please help...not able to boot to recovery mode or downloader mode
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
what do you mean it 'won't update'? do you mean flash a new ROM? did you re-root after getting back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jwhisl:
I was using version "a" the rom, then decided to flash part "b". Now all my epic does is start up to setup wizard, but it keeps force closing in an endless loop. how do I fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
same thing happened to me... I ended up starting over: odin back to stock/re-root/flash up to 4.0.2b. 2 other things that have seemed to be helpful are: formating your sd card, and flashing 4.0.1 first, and then 4.0.2a, then b.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Well when u go back to stock, a message pops up saying and update is ready for your device and you can decide to update now or later so I chose update now and it started to update but then said something about "signature not verified," so I tried manually going to dk28 myself, I tried odin and it didn't work, I tried the other method where you flash the update zip file and it aborted the operation as well. And yes I tried re rooting it and it worked
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
There is an app in the viper store to give you that option. Go to the store hit epic then do a search for "wallpaper" You will see the one for live wallpaper support.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jwhisl:
Thanks, I'm going to try clockwork to get back to stock and start over. Maybe I shouldn't have let "a" boot up before I applied "b"
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Did you do a nandroid backup on "a" before you applied "b"?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
oh dang, ok....

is everything working where it's at now, on stock DI07, or 17 or something? I personally don't know if you can go from there to DK28, without it updating itself. and I'm not sure why it wouldn't update properly....

but you did properly try and odin just the dk28 modem? try and sit tight and hopefully someone can help you...
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Thank you, its working fine where it is now, I'm just bored with it "/ lol ill try and odin it to dk28 one last time though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
lol, that's cool.

one question: did you root before or after the update notice came?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Which one of the DK28s are you trying. One has the modem and bin files, the other the tar. From what I understand there was a bad one out there for a while. You may want to try another version or make sure you have a good download. What size is your file?
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Before......that was probably a bad idea
[Epic 4G Android Development] slabhurta:
Anyone have some screens shots of the Heaven and Hell themes? Wanted to get an idea of what they look like before i DL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
Its 289MB. Does anyone know where I can get a different one if this is the one that is corrupt?
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
yeah, maybe. in the future, it's probably always best to Odin straight to stock dk28..... or at least 18. it sounds like maybe you went to DI17 or something like that, and then rooted before it could update to 18?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
My Tar file is 295MB. Let me look in the thread and see if I can remember which one it is
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
I think this is the one I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861253

edit: maybe not it says 289MB
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Try following the instructions I listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10354786&postcount=2663

I just did this a couple of days ago and my phone is running better than ever.

Stock DI18 to Stock DK28 to Viper 4.0.1 (I did Heaven) to 4.0.2a + b. Remember to get your GPS lock after each flash.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: I wouldn't get too hung up on the file size, in Explorer it will say 295kish KB but 289 MB. If you follow the thread I provided, it will have to download .md5 files, Odin will check the file before it flashes to verify validity (you can select the .md5 file directly, you don't need to remove the file extension). For the DK28 file, I had to D/L 4 times from different hosts before my D/L was kosher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NikieFurrz:
that sounds like a major possibility!

EDIT:

ok i did it! instead i waited until it updated before i rooted it!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
question

flashing to 4.02b i have 4.01 right now and 4.02b is an update .zip can i just use that and go straight to it? or do i need 4.02a first thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
This rom isn't cw3 compatible you need the old one and the one that you install while flashing the rom. Check my stats and you'll find that a few pages back I discovered this and posted how to fix it
[Epic 4G Android Development] silasclaphan:
Any news on the non ext4 4.0.2 rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
You are correct. Wipe and flash and your done
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
finally got 4.0.2b working, is there a reason why when i log into facebook from my phone's internet i get flagged as accessing my account from Overland Park, KS, US

Location estimated based on IP=184.254.157.120
[Epic 4G Android Development] Topgamer:
do i need to be on 4.02a to update.zip to 4.02b? im on 4.01
[Epic 4G Android Development] Strange Brew:
Any word on a non ext4 version of 4.0.2? I know its suposed to be faster with ext4 and all, but the epic is plenty fast enuff for me already :). I rather not take the chance of reducing my $600 phones life span. Would be different if I was able to get upgrade price for my 2 epics but I paid full value.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jtmercutio:
I have only 4 apps installed (dolphin HD browser, Facebook, Handcent, and TweetDeck) and whenever I try to install wireless tether it says insufficient memory? And everytime I try to search the thread it says I get a message saying search is temporarily down lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] chaostrodamis:
No full rom today?
[Epic 4G Android Development] raylusk:
Yes you need to be on 4.02a before doing the 4.02b update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] silasclaphan:
Doesn't look like anyone is gonna answer us. I've asked a few times now myself. We aren't asking for the rom, just am update on where its at.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeeceeBabe:
A little patience is always nice too, flooding the thread isn't going to make the update come any quicker. BT already said it will be released soon. (FYI he is human and has a life, with other things to do also.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] shoehorn:
Is it possible to install other themes on 4.02b without issues? I guess just do a backup before I attempt. I just wanted to know before I tried it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cgarcia200:
U tell him neecee. Just be pacient trust me it will be worth the wait 4.0.2b was worth the wait for me and alot of people on here as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] diego1985:
I hate to be the one to say this, but this Lady Neecee is fine as hell if that's her pic. I apologize for my outburst though lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] silasclaphan:
I know he's busy and human and had a life, duh! Lol! I wasn't trying to rush team viper in any way, I just asked the forum, not just bt, if any news had been givin. I work 12 hour nights 6 nights a week and don't have time to fly through 300 pages of forum for something that someone on the forum can answer in 1 sentence. I throughly appreciate the viper team, the have resurrected my interest in the epic and can't wait to see whats next. So I apologize ......
[Epic 4G Android Development] silasclaphan:
Do I apologize if I offended anybody in this forum by requesting updated info, thought that was what the forum was for, info and help. Keep up the good work team viper, you have my loyalty, as long as viper is around, they won't be another rom on my epic!
[Epic 4G Android Development] konaman:
Hahaha I have been thinking the same thing everytime I see her pic in her posts. I'm always like, man this girl is cute. Sorry neecee I had to give my 2¢ since it's already out there now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Are any Team Viper guys still here or is anyone here to annswer a question?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well, I was getting ready to Odin back to stock and realized I got the version with pit and tar not pit and bin. If anyone can hook up a link, I would really appreciate it

[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
+1.... Lol,
[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
not sure if anyone answered this yet.

You should still be able to get into Download mode.

suggestion: Charge your phone for a while before you try.

When it's charged unplug it from the charger cable.

Try to get into Download mode.

if download mode works, connect it to your computer and flash the stock ROM through odin.

you should use DK17 and/or DK28 for best results. you can find stock images(roms) here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853209

if you screw up your upgrade you need to know how to restore to stock. it's a crucial ability.
[Epic 4G Android Development] blademonkey:
Very cool, i'll try to help as best as possible on the wiki. Other than copying and pasting i'm pretty useless. :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] dallas90733:
We understand (FYI he is human and has a life, with other things to do also.), but heck, I guess I am addicted to flashing every other day..hahahahahaha :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
I know it is typically standard procedure, so this might be a dumb question, but with flashing 4.0.2a and b, should I recalibrate my battery via CWM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
i was about to ask that same question due to the fact that your suppossed to wipe the dalvik cache after the calibration process but i wasnt sure if that would erase the built in dalvik cache with battery voltage thats built into the rom....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Quicksand Jesus:
Heads up, I can't download the Goverener Killer. Just an FYI
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
if your running any of vipers roms you dont need to install it. Its already baked in
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
It's not built into all, but definitely the latest 4.0.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Fangs87:
Do these roms have trouble connecting to 4g or is that a current issue with all roms? im in an area (tampa FL) that has supposid great 4g coverage or the dark blue from sprints map but it doesnt find the tower / towers and says theres no 4g networks in range when im out on the street
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
yeah your right i assumed peeeps would have atleast the version one step below heaven hell hehe
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Mafia man, if you have the tar you can use it alone instead of the pit and bin. Just put the tar in the PDA section.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I need some help here. I have pretty much read everything. I have to go back to DK 28 stock and start again. I am in Odin, my phone is found, when I try and install the tar.MD5, I take the MD5 off and it still fails. Also, I have a modem.tar not a modem.bin like it says in directions...help
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Thanks. I'll try that. I have never had to use Odin before. I was running 3.0.3, then 4.0.1,4.0.2a&b with no problems. All of a sudden I was adding something and got a bad download and the problems started. Gonna try that
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
you using odin the odin version i am? Also the modem should be a tar file that was my mistype im sorry. Here is the file i used to odin and took the md5 off the name.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epi...our-epic-to-2-2-v-dk28-and-other-useful-info/

Also the version of odin i listed comes with the modem and pit file as well try those. Also try this.... install the file from link above and the pit file only then once it goes then do the modem by itself. I would also try the modem and pit file that is also in the above link. Hope this will get you rockin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Still no success. This is what I get:<osn>All threads completed(succeded 0/failed 0)
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
OK, let me know if I can help more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I will try this thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
Odin is recognizing your phone isn't it? And you are in download mode not clockwork right.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
you using all the files listed in that link i posted right as well as the version of odin thats listed in the same link right?

Heres another thing double check your adb file is running in your device manager odin will see your phone even if the proper drivers are not installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yes and Yes. Thats why Im trippin here
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Lost me on that one. One Click root exploit again first?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Sorry guys. I only slept for 2 hours. Kept losing my connection while downloading stock DK 28 last night. Took 4 hrs
[Epic 4G Android Development] swp22:
no the link i posted below my original post which is this one

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epi...our-epic-to-2-2-v-dk28-and-other-useful-info/

this link has the md5 file as well as the odin version you need to use with the modem and pit file in the same folder.. once you get your phone to flash to dk28 with these files then you use that One click root exploit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cerebralzulu:
No, you use Odin first then one click.
[Epic 4G Android Development] asapelectric:
you need to put file into Odin, then plug phone in, then start it.. Sorry, if you did do this, just thought it might help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Bcrippsy38:
I'm having the same issue with mine, anyone know if this has been addressed or found a solution?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Thanks for the tutorial swp22.

Always helps to get some anecdotes down for people to follow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
I was having a hell of a time flashing the modem to my phone last night. Odin kept getting stuck at various stages. I even tried going back to an old modem, just because I thought I was doing things wrong. Turns out, the stock usb-micro usb cable isn't very good (?). I tried a different cable, and lo and behold, worked like a charm, first try. Not sure if this will fix your problem, but I was following the directions explicitly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] henboffman:
The modem.bin file is in the modem.tar file and has to be extracted.
