[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid707:
One more question... In regards to doing ODIN do I need to have anything special selected i.e. enable USB debugging or checking Unknown sources (allow install of non-market applications)?

Are there any other things I need to think about or setup aside from the phones drivers prior to ODIN?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid707:
The samsung drivers are on there. How would I go about verifying that 'it' can see my phone?

Also is this the latest & greatest root/cwm? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

Also would the uninstall mentioned at the bottom of the above link help (shown below)?

uninstaller http://firon.net/xda/one.click.stock...aller-di18.zip

V2.5.5 update did not take.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket321:
To verify odin, shut off your phone then hold "1" and press power. You will see a full page android icon with a shovel.

Now open odin and then connect your phone. Drivers will install and odin will highlight a com port. At this point odin sees your phone and you can flash or just close out.

If you don't flash something you will have to pull your battery to reboot the phone.

Your link is the latest root & cwm using RFS file system. There is a version 3.x which converts the file system to ext4 but you can decide later if you want to go that route. I believe to install 3.x you have to load this older version first anyway.

As for the un installer I haven't used it so maybe someone else can comment on if out would remove the old root.

Btw what happened when you attempted the 2.5.5 install? Get any error?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid707:
I was successfully ran ODIN returning my epic to stock & then loaded all of my apps etc using mybackup onto the phone. I did v2.5.5 & got root!

Now I am trying to move on & am somehow stuck again...

Two things. First it is suggested to update recovery on this link to a permanent root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=782300

I mounted my phone to my cpu after downloading the zip file & extracting it. Then I ran runtrylast.bat. It seemed to work however I am unsure. At any rate there is a more stable option on that link at the bottom that has the following instructions:

update.zip method:

1. boot into ClockworkMod Recovery

2. Apply : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/no...date-fixed.zip

Am I ok with the runtrylast.bat setup that seemed to take or do I still need to do the update.zip method?

*****

Secondly I am trying to get this rom setup: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864445

I did a nandroid backup so that step is complete. I have download the zip folder to my cpu. This is where I am stuck. How do I apply this rom to my EPIC? Do I need to go into download mode? Once in dl mode how would I pull this zip file from my cpu to the epic?

Thanks again everyone for all of your help! This is an intimidating process & now that I have ran ODIN & read a ton of info on this great forum this is getting fun again. Thank you for helping push me along as I get this figured out. Cheers!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclosure:
connect your epic 4g via USB to your computer.

Mount the Storage.

copy it over to the root of the drive.

(which is / or /sdcard -- im not 100% on this but i think they're one in the same)

---

to mount the storage

either uncheck usb debugging and select storage when the prompt comes up on your phone and then copy it over using windows explorer..

OR keep usb debugging checked and go to your android sdk where adb is located and type:

adb get-state

it should return "device"

then use

adb push <local file> <remote file>

so for example if the rom is named johns-rom.zip and located under C:\roms\ and you want to put it on the root of your sdcard (where the rom would go) you would type:

adb push C:\roms\johns-rom.zip /sdcard/johns-rom.zip

it will let you know when its done, it will take a bit so dont panic.. so give it some time. then once your done you reboot into the CWM recovery, make sure you do ur nandroid backup, then wipe data, wipe cache and wipe the dalvik cache then select .zip/rom from sdcard [i do not mean the update.zip option] and then it will flash the rom and your good to go.

note: (i do suggest putting the file under a folder in C:\ and not using any spaces in that folder name because that will mess this command up unless you know how to use the "~1" so there are no spaces in the command line)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Since you have backed up all of your apps, my advice would be to follow the steps in [[http://www.youtube.com/user/randyshear#p/u/9/pleE_tzmiMo]this[/url] video. It will take you to stock dk28, then one-click root w/ cwm. I know this works for sure and will have you rooted with clockwork on Froyo dk28 build. I know you said you have rooted and so forth, but you seem unsure that everything is done. This video will ensure that you have rooted and cwm on 2.2 You can also check out his related videos for walkthroughs in flashing 2.2 based roms like the Viperrom, Cyanogen, etc stuff. Just make sure to click 'like' on his vids! Show some l-o-v-e.

Good luck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helchez:
In orderto use that rom you need to have the dk28 modem. From what I've read you are still on di18. If you go to the first page of viper rom's thread there are specific details on installing their rom and links to everything you will need. Just read everything and take your time. I would also suggest starting with viperrom apocolypse or even hell they are a little bit more stable than frozen. Some experienced people are having issues flashing that rom.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid707:
Thanks again for walking me thru this. Also the links are very helpful. I will work on getting upgraded to DK28 tonight & then setup viper rom. I am sure I will be back with another 21 questions...lol.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKid707:
Ok so I have ODIN to DK28 & have root via v2.5.5! I have reloaded ROM Manager & have went into clockworkmod & successfully completed a nandroid backup.

Now I am stuck at this point:

I have download Viper Rom Apocalypse. I have unzipped the file & there are six folders as listed below:

- data

- kernal

- META-INF

- sbin

- sdcard

- system

There is one other item which is a file along with all of the above listed folders titled 'installbusybox'.

I understand at this point I need to copy files that where unzipped for the ROM to my EPIC. My only question is do I move all of them? I know it sounds like a stupid Q but I wanted to make sure. Or should I drag the download zip of the rom from my cpu to my dcim folder?

Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helchez:
Hey you don't need to unzip that file. Just connect your phone to your computer and transfer the file you downloaded, not the unzipped files to you sd card. Then power off boot into clockwork (vol down, camera, power). Then if you have already backed up you want to wipe the phone 3x wipe the cache and wipe the dalvic. Then you want to go to select install.zip from sd card, scroll down to viperrom and let it do its magic.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewtang:
I have Serendipity 4.3 on my captivate and yesterday my phone spontaneously died. Prior to this I always saw significant battery drop. However, once the phone died it wouldn't reboot or even charge. I then removed the battery and placed back then I was able to charge it. I have had it unplugged for 7 hours and I am still on 100%. I verified this in my settings and even installed different widgets to check it as well. Also, when I was having poor battery life my battery usage for display was ~89% but has now dropped to 50%.

Is there any way that somehow my battery improved this much?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I'm not a n00b, so I wouldn't post this unless something was up. Haven't ever had issues w/ contacts' pics loading - specifically, their Facebook profile pic. All of the entries in my Contacts list are perfect - they have their Facebook pic on them.

Today though, in the native Messages app (hush, I've been a long-time Handcent user, prior to that, ChompSMS), no one's pic appears - just the default, androgynous avatar. Well, I should say that no one's pics but my fiancee's - everyone else just has the default icon.

I cleared Cache and Data for the Messages app. I also cleared Cache partition and Dalvik Cache via Recovery.

To recap:

- Facebook for MyTouch/HTC Sense is syncing live feed and contacts just fine

- Contacts in the Contact list show their current Facebook pic

- It is

only

in the Messages app, that I am no longer seeing contact pics

Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onefast:
i have the same problem from time to time... what i do is export my contacts to sd, then delete the facebook for mytouch account under "Accounts & Sync". Then I go to settings, "applications", all, then clear data under contacts, and contact storage. The only bad thing is that now you have no contacts. you have to import them from your sim or sd. Then create your facebook account in accounts and sync. Then link all your contacts to their facebook account. This is a long and horrible way to fix it, but it works for me. i wish there was a faster way without deleting all of our contacts.

hope this helps
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
Thanks for the response, One! It's not a show-stopper, so I'm going to keep on looking for less-invasive options, but if I can't get a resolution, I'll give your steps a shot.

Thanks again, One.

Anyone running 2 batteries and wanting to charge them outside the Streak might want to look at one of these by Solar Technology International.

Can you post a pic without the battery, mainly to see the pins if they are moveable, and also where does it plug into? USB? or goes straight to mains?

[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
I have the Freeloader pro2 package with the cam caddy, niether charges my streak, I was gutted when I got my streak. Had been usind the charger for my camera battery & touch hd while out on treks but the streak won't take charge from it and the battery can't be charged from the cam caddy, neither can my sony nex5 camera battery, another £100's worth of beaut kit rendered useless!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Volcanodancer:
I seem to remember the Freeloader Pro kit is about £60 with the Camcaddy. Don't bother with the normal Freeloader, it won't charge the Streak.

The pins slide and can charge many things. I use it with the official Dell charger and it gets the battery up to about 95% - for some reason it stops just short of 100%. It can also charge from the Freeloader but I only get about 60% from a full charge.

The Freeloader PRO needs a modification to charge the streak - if you feel confident, open it up, and then solder together the centre two pins on the USB socket, otherwise the Streak won't see it as a charger (this mod is required in general with all USB chargers)

I recently got a Lenmar USB clip - this also works with the Freeloader and is awesome and tiny!

I'm trying to get to the bottom of this problem: it started ever since I flashed Cognition 3.02 and Firebird 2 kernel last week. That was my first endeavor into custom roms. This week I'm on Cog 3.04 and Speedmod kernel. I'm in the US on ATT in a big city with good signal strength.

It's the strangest thing: I can hear calls perfectly fine, but the other people that I'm talking to complain of static and background noise, and basically can hardly hear a word I'm saying.

Anyone know what in particular causes this type of situation? I really don't want to go back to stock rom, but I may have too because, well, I do need my phone to... you know, make phone calls.

I constantly listen to podcasts on my commute to and from school, where service is extremely spotty, it drives me INSANE when I miss some important part and have to rewind because the sound cuts out and the phone beeps every minute or so.

That being said the most recent information I found was from the beginning of last year.

"According to Xuxian Jiang, the bug allows malicious websites to access and upload the contents of a user's microSD card, including voicemails, photos, and online banking information to a remote server. The flaw apparently resembles a similar bug in previous version of Android, thought to have been addressed with Gingerbread. However, as Jiang points out, that fix is easily bypassed. Apart from removing the microSD card, disabling JavaScript, or switching to a third-party browser, Android 2.3 users have little recourse in squashing the bug."

Are you asking to change RoMs? What diablo posted is one option to change the kernal not the RoM. You can use his method posted to find a more stable and improved battery life kernal. I would simply change the kernal if you like the Phoenix interface.

If you want to change RoMs just follow the same steps as how you flashed Phoenix.

Pretty much backup, Odin, master clear, root, install clockwork recovery, place RoM in SD card and flash new RoM through the recovery menu. I'm sure you used this guide:

i'm not sure about an actual temperature range, but i would say anything that doesn't burn your hand when you hold it is acceptable. what build of cm7 are you using? i've been running set cpu set at 806 with nightly builds from a week ago up to today (13-19) with no issues.
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Running build 18. 806 has always locked my phone up, even on CM6

But afaik, the temp the phone gives you is the battery temp, not the cpu temp, so it could be much higher than the reported number...

Anyway, 42° is moreless the line temp for me.
[HTC Aria General] L551:
Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

My battery got to around 46C while charging.
[HTC Aria General] Darius_bd:
Well, if it's just charging you can create a setcpu profile that it lowers the mhz when doing so, so it doesnt heat up too much. At any rate, supposedly every good device should work fine under 50°C, if it's charging without overclock and you still get 46° then it should be safe.

If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. Try loading the "Perfect System Monitor" app from the Market. It will give you CPU temp data. I wouldn't worry about anything under ~50* C.
