You can not ever pull your battery while using a ROM that has journaling disabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You will have to use the backup you made before flashing bonsai. If you don't have one, you will have to wipe data and re-flash bonsai.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
You need to odin because you yanked with no journaling on so you probably have some corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
Odin might not be necessary. He should wipe and re-flash first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Hmm, ive pulled the battery multiple time when one of my apps froze and didnt have an issue.. while journaling was disabled..
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
so wipe all data in clockwork advance (cash.....) and re flash bonsai 2.0.1 o my SD card?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
So have i, and never a problem, until now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
It's Russian roulette. You never know when it's in the middle of a write.
[Epic 4G Android Development] huytrang90:
WEll, you all got lucky. You SHOULD not pulled battery while phone is running without journalling. You never know what may happen.

even with using power off, and while phone still going down you yank battery (before completely shutoff), you may experience corrupt data. It happens to me before.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
I didnt backup, because the instructions said bonsia will during my rom upgrade
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
so whats rthe best way to get my phone back up and working with all my data from the bonsai backup?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Super, i guess i got lucky.. ive been lucky many times cause ive done a battery pull at least 6 times!! Knock on wood..
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i've figured out how to basically brick the phone, all I need to do is use the Rerfs file and it hangs on the boot screen. is there a way to remove the clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 via update or whatever so I can take this POS back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Thats just used for the flash and restore process I believe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Did u use the return to rfs zip and the back to stock recovery zip, might work.. i dont know, ill see if i can find some links to them..
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The instructions also say to make a CWM/Nandroid backup .

You can't because when you tried to re-flash today it overwrote that data with the corrupted data.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
No i copied the .gz and moved it to a different directory, so i still have the orginal backup.

I tried an advance restore using the .gz, but it said MD5 mismatch
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I could've sworn you experienced some of these issues yourself while using one of the Wireless Tether betas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
return to rfs supposed to flash stock dk28 and change back to earlier clockwork mod but it doesn't, just hangs. so nothing else will work. I could brick it with that one and use noobls remove clockwork, but Its from sept 2010 so i don't think it will work.

So i copy "ncRestoreData.zip" to sd,

Run "ncRestoreData.zip" in CW,

will the script ask me where the bonsai-backup.gz is?

and This one process will restore my phone and get it to boot again??

Or is there something more than the use of "ncRestoreData.zip" that needs to be done?

Thanks for your help.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
Ok so here is what i did:

copied ncRestoreData.zip to SD

Created a new folder on SDcard/data-backup

copied SDcard/bonsai/backup-data.cpio.gz -to- SDcard/data-backup

Wiped all data factory restore

installed bonsai 2.0.1

ran backup-data.cpio.gz

phone is up and working again

YAY!!!

I'm glad you got it sorted, and that my mod was of use to you.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Short answer, No.

[edit]

Not if your current Baseband is DK28.

[/edit]

Long answer::

The standard method of flashing images (kernel, recovery) to our phone is a binary called redbend_ua.

From my experience redbend_ua does not effectively flash a modem.bin.

Frion had a file out for DI18 that supposedly could flash from any modem to DI18. I think this is where the confusion is coming from.

No offence to Frion by any means (and a big thank you for all you have done!), but I wonder if he tested that file before making that claim.

Frion's file consisted of a modem.bin from DI07 and the modem_delta.bin from DI18.

The idea was that you could flash the full DI07 modem.bin with redbend_ua, and then apply the delta patch to it using write_firmware_image.

I tested Frion's file while running DG27. What happens is, it looks like it's flashing (flickering screen, blue "reboot" text, etc) but upon rebooting, the baseband had not changed.

Until there is more development with alternate image flashing (or more known about how redbend_ua works), there is no possible way.

I have personally tested this until I couldn't stand to any more.

I'm getting a bit tired of seeing people ask this, so please, the next time you see someone talking about this, link them to this post.

And if you've found an alternative please share it with us all!

after letting me sit there for an hour and a half, they come back and say its rejected because it was flashed, apparently that caused the hardware to break. so I told them it doesn't say anything about not flashing and the guy said thats just common sense, apparently I have none of that.

Why did you tell them you flashed it?

its kinda obvious, i didn't tell them, the guy booted it up when i first gave it to him, not like you couldn't tell, thats what really pisses me off, just tell me then, don't make me wait an hour and half, reject it in your system so I can't go to samsung for warranty.

Not true. The modem in the install instrutions is a tar. I flashed it last night with no pit. Worked flawlessly.

lol! I think I saw that in another thread. That will get er done!
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
The modem itself is a bin file. If you are flashing it with odin, you will need the PIT, and it needs to go in the PHONE box. If the modem is within a tar, then yes the pit is not necessary (assuming the tar is configured correctly), but it needs to go in PDA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
When you are using odin with a tar file pay attention to the interface box. You will see that odin accesses the pit that is contained inside the tar file.

PS: I am so glad you guys keep the backup/install process so clean and simple. It always works and with no data corruption. Was curious to try Syndicate and it reminded me how nice it is to flash Bonsai as I had to install all the apps again on Syndicate. Don't get me wrong it is a nice ROM, just using Bonsai is a so easy and also nice.

Thx k0nane! I had no idea what Carrier IQ was till I read your post. At best it cannt be good. At worst.. scary! Thank you for all your work in getting rid of it. Hope to see it removed from other ROMs as well.

In case anyone does not know what it is, look around the dev forum for k0nane / acs ROM that was just released with carrier IQ removed in the title. In the second post he gives a lot of great info about CIQ, and what it does.

* Note - this is not a ad for that ROM, I have not tried it, still love bonsai! Hoping a CIQ free bonsai will be in the future ;)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
Well the Bonsai team may decide to or not try it. The perspective of Bonsai and ACS are IMHO fundamentally different, which helps make the world go around. I would call the Bonsai effort to be somewhat minimalistic in that their goals are a fast powerful daily driver whick avoids fluff. ACS's flavor appears to me to be balls to the walls and all about front running technical ideas and solutions.

Personally I see room for both as Bonsai and ACS both have large followings. What makes it neat, now that we have source, is you can run the ACS rom on a Bonsai kernel and vice versa.

From what I understand Sprint/Samsung took it off for reasons unknown. I liked it, but others thought it was a waste of real estate.

Personally I think the Bonsai website sucks from a technical and usability viewpoint. It looks to me like they just grabbed some free store software and tried to get it working.

I have never had the TWS bug so I can't really comment on it. Just curious if the people who have it are in low signal strength areas. Have no idea why they took out the quickboot feature as I really liked it. Sometimes my phone nneds a quick memory flush. :D

Wasn't that what Rodney King said between beatings? :p

[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
I usually get about 2-8% after toggling airplane mode so it is definitely a bug. It was good immediately after flashing but went to 90% after a reboot. Didn't try a third or reflash so not sure if it corrects itself. Waiting to see others' results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:

[Epic 4G Android Development] x130844:
Apologies..

Ok guys,

i had mentioned that 3.0.1 wasn't as good on the battery as 2.x

I figured out why, the modem was not updated, it was still using the dk28.

Here's what i noticed, when reading the instructions i was under the impression that bonsai installer would update everything, without me having to wipe stuff and update extra manually, i was wrong.

I had to Odin the modem from eb13 onto the phone and now the battery seems to be great.

Thank you for this great release so far!
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
The problem with the restore is you're stuck with the AM/PM in there which is a waste of space. I'm a big enough boy to know when it's AM and PM. I just want the time back.

I'm still having issues with this rom in general with a bunch of google force closes today after some time with odin, wiping and flashing last night. Really don't feel like going back to their forum for support either.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Google force closes can usually be fixed by clearing data in google framework and any other app that is force closing. I had this because of a corrupted contact after phone drop/battery out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
Mattallica, did you have TWS issues before 4.0?

Mine was always random. If I heard the 3g beep on boot it didn't show up, no beep=50% TWS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Mine did the beeping sometimes and sometimes didnt and ive never had this so called TWS bug in any roms, guess im just lucky also dont have it in the new one.. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Just first flash the am/pm restore then flash the removal of am/pm in the the gingerbread theme thread, i would assume that would work personally i like the clock and am/pm to me it looks weird without the clock and without the am/pm

Ive still unsure that flashing the am/pm removal on top of the restore will work, if someone wants to give it a whirl and let everyone know if it works for them then people will be satisfied.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I had the bug, but it never seemed to effect my battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
