I don't see what the problem with age is either. I'm 22 now but I was lucky enough to have a dad who was a network engineer, I was the only kid at school who knew what Novell Netware was.

My biggest advice to all you young guys that want to start a career in coding is CODE!!!! Like crazy too! With a cheap computer you can do everything you ever wanted. The cost of experimentation is the cost of electricity! Code code code all day.

Also talk to the devs, start showing up in IRC channels, reading bug reports, and talking to experts about what they do. If you show interest in their work they'll be more than happy to help you along. And if you keep up the interest some day you'll get invited to join the team!

Kudos for being on these forums and having a passion for learning

And screw the status quo, don't accept what you're given at face value. Improve everything and help others.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Im also thinking on making a revised version on How-To port a I9000 ROM. There are some posts about this but they do contain some outdated data and links to the tools you will need.

I also was considering porting a SGS4G ROM to ours (much harder) but the problem is there is no good kernel (SGS4G source built w/vibrant specifics).

Does anyone have the di18 baseband? I want to keep my dk28 and revert my baseband back to di18 then forward to eb13 but not have to lose all of my setup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Can't update from DK28 to EB13 in CWM.

Working as in, my baseband now says EB13, and I can make a call and browse the web.

You cant flash a full modem.bin with ClockworkMod (I've tried).

So you'd have to use Odin, which means u should just use the EB13 modem.tar for Odin..

Lemme get the EB13 Odin link here in a sec I'll put it in the OP..

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Perfect. I'm waiting for the devs to get their roms updated, but I want to try out the new modem while I'm waiting. I just need to try something and know that I don't want to go back to stock so this will do for now. Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I used the .tar in odin, worked like a charm. Phone shows EB13 and got a GPS lock in my house in about 3 seconds to 10 meters.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I am using an ext4 rom (midnight currently). The odin file is only for the modem. You should be fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Correct, the modem has nothing to do with the file system you are running.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DiGi760:
All we have right now a is a delta from the di18 modem. You'll have to wait until we have a proper odin image with a modem.bin. Then someone can pull that modem.bin out and make a cwm flashable update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Don't expect an update.zip from DK28 - ever. It's unsupported, rejected by Sprint and ignored by Samsung. Nothing's coming.

Flashed eb13 modem with odin, running Bonsai 2.0.1 and genocide eb13 kernel 0.1a... working great so far

now just waiting for eb13 roms and some more custom kernels to come out
[Epic 4G Android Development] globalninja:
I'm gonna wait until custom roms get released to flash eb13. Maybe even cm7 by noob

Sent from my Epic 4g.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jerbeck24:
Wait, theres not going to be anything from DK28 to EB13 from the devs on here? My computer crashed, so I have no odin access...
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
There will be - but it's not going to be like the OTA. Updating from DK28 to EB13 will likely require Odin for the modem.

We are, however, looking for a more elegant solution.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
+1 there wont even be an updatezip for just the rom, I have no problem odining the modem but, kinda don't want to have to Odin back as I'm comfy on my dk28 there won't be a simple bonsai flash as long as we have the modem?

Sent from my Bonsai Epic 4g
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The ROMs will always be a .zip. I was referring to an OTA update, from stock, like from DI18 to DK28 or DI18 to EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I haven't found one..

If you have the EB13 modem then a Bonsai that flashed the EB13 modem_delta.bin (more than likely will happen) should not cause any issues.

It will just fail if it's anything other than DI18 or EB13.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
In other words, if I flash the new modem via Odin, my current bonsai ron will work fine then once there is a new update for bonsai it should be no problem updating as long ad I have the modem?

Yes.

The EB13 modem works fine on stock DI18 even so have at it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
So here are the steps....

Odin : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip

USB driver, under the Software category here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D700ZKASPR

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).

1. Open odin

2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)

3. Connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)

4. Select the victory_8G_100528.pit on the right in the pit section

5. In the PDA Section place the full Stock DI18 tar (SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 approx 255 MB) for a full wipe and full return to stock. You can get the file from a number of sources here: http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV

6. Hit start. It will do its thing. Doesn't take long you can see the progress bar. If it sits on File Analysis for longer than 30 seconds its not going to happen. See the troubleshoot section below.

7. Device should reboot and should be done. You will have to root / install ClockworkMod.

My question is... Under step #5 we replace that file with JUST the modem file correct?

Second... We wont have to root/install because we just flashed the modem.

Third... Are all of the other steps the same or not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Chabsin:
For flashing the modem only, you put the modem file under phone (not under pda).

And you do retain root (at least I did. Running quantum 2.7 and just flashed the modem to eb13. Everything seems to be running fine).
[Epic 4G Android Development] brickwall99:
I forget, to flash via Odin which button do you select? PDA or PHONE?

Edit: Nevermind, just found the above post lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Cool, ill probaly do the modem flash tonight then. Seems like there is no reason to goto d118 at all right then since im waiting for a custom rom update.

Just to clarify last question, i dont have to odin the d118 modem to then odin the eb13 do i? can i just oding eb13 modem from dk28. Im sorry im a little confused, i understand that only the DB13 modem update zip only works if i have the d118 modem, but if i use odin to flash eb13 modem, can i go from dk28 modem to eb13 modem using odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Same question. Can we just flash modem to di18 then flash eb13? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gsrboy171:
i just download the odin tar to desktop. open up odin select phone. seach for the downloaded file from desktop. unselect the reset box. put the phone in bootloader mode. connet your phone. you should see com something in yellow. hit start and wait till it says pass.

i did this from the dk28 modem with no wiping. iam also using the viper 2.0 rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Ok, so I did bootloader mode and it has the Yellow triangle with Android digging and says... Downloading...

Do not turn off Target!!!

What is this all about and what am I supposed to do?

Nevermind, I saw what was supposed to pop up on the laptop and its all working now. Have EB13 on the phone. Followed the last few posts and its installed.

I thought I was supposed to see all of that information on the PHONE not the laptop. :) Scared me for a second and I thought it was downloading who knows what. lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
Ok, so maybe screw this modem cause after the install I started getting REAL terrible data just like that of other people in the D/L post.

I was running a terrible 220kbps for the most part, and now with the newest modem I am running this...

31kbps

18kbps

This modem is going in the trash for now or at least until we have some news on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The modem runs fine - quite well, even.

Ignore the -0 results, the app just didn't store those right. Granted, this is on a kernel and ROM not yet publicly available... ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
k0nane, i was curious if anyone sent you guys the official OTA file yet? if so, i'll get off of stock Eclair and enjoy my phone until you guys release, lol. i have yet to get the OTA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quickstang:
I wish I was getting that, but I wasn't. I guess time will only tell why some have the problem and some don't.

Going back to DK28 made it much better than it was. Running it with the teamviper 1.2Ghz Kernel and the phone isn't that bad so far.

It'll make due for now.

Hey now, none of that unreleased stuff for us who don't have it. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
GPS performance?

dnathan13 mentioned a quick lock but has anyone done any practical GPS testing? (maintaining lock while moving at high speeds or changing direction often; navigation)

Every DK28 ROM I've tried loses lock at least 3 times during a 10 minute trip and takes 30-60 seconds to get it back. Hoping we will see better results with EB13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
I did get a consistent lock coming to work this morning, but I never went over 45 and it is only about a 10 minute drive.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
We won't be needing it - I've had the official TAR since it came out. Thanks though!
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
ok cool, you're welcome. just trying to do my part..... looking forward to the goodies :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
Thanks for the response, I'll have to flash tonight and check it out on the road tomorrow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] riceknight:
I've had almost the same experiences with DK28 except that it takes a bit longer for me to randomly lose signal.

I'm looking forward to testing the official build, but I'm holding out for a good ROM as I'm not in a rush to restore everything to only have to do it all over again once then next Bonsai or Quantum comes out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
I skipped steps 4 and 5. I put the EB13 modem tar in phone and flashed. Phone rebooted on its own. No need to re-root. Everything stayed the same. I flashed the modem directly on top of DK28. No need to go to DI18 first.

Works like a charm! I get GPS lock down to a couple of meters in like 2 seconds. WOW!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
So u don't need the put file, just the modem.bin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
I think the pit is still needed.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:

[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:

[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:

[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
Don't take my word as gospel. I'm not a dev, just a sys admin who can figure just about anything out. One problem I have with phone hacking is there doesn't seem to be a guide that starts you out from scratch. I came to these forums and started searching around and notice most everyone talks like you're a pro or have some sort of clue. I have a clue in the tech world, but I've never hacked a phone.

I see terms like "reboot via the three fingered salute". Do y'all have any idea how that sounds to a noob? In most forums you can find the answer a few pages back.....some of these threads are 400 pages long and cluttered and really difficult to find anything in...at least in a timely manner. I'm not complaining. I get that it's impossible to give a step by step in every post.

I had to spend a week or two prior to making any attempt to root my phone just researching what terms were what......so now I have a bookmark folder dedicated to this site with maybe 60 pages in there. Though this was my first time using Odin, I had read a great deal on it before I used it for the first time today.

Again, I don't know anything to be fact.....everything I know is an educated guess based off of research, and I always assume the risk I could ruin my phone. I'm OK with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:

[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
We've all been there at one point. The nature of the beast I guess.

The one that got me for the longest here was TWS (Time Without Signal).

Try searching that in Google. ;]

At least you appear to be doing your part on the research end.

And you included a link to your source of info, which most fail to do.

I'm not much of a dev myself when it comes to android (yet), and most of what I know is based off research.

There's always that initial "diving in" when dealing with a new platform/device to hack and play with.

Remember, read, read, read, and then read some more... Learning is fun!

ok have some questions flashing the new modem via odin:

my phone reads fine i put the victory pit in the pit section and then put the rar file modem in pda section right?

also there is only one pit file right?

ok figured it out, modem goes in phone section

what exactly will happen if i put the pit file there or not?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubecoder:
Read up a couple of posts, at least 2 people said it flashed fine with out a pit.

I believe they both were on DK28.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
ok so here is what happen in my odin experience:

1. Followed the instructions with no issues with the computer failing to connect said success.

2 so then i forgot to put in my sd card, so i got force closes all over the place and asked if i was feeling lucky. :(

3. put sd card back in and said System /uids inconsistent :( and tons of force closes?

what did i do wrong?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I can odin no problem and said it past but, when i boot up i get sytem uids inconsistant and tons of force closes. What is the solution im able to get in clockwork im can odin in download mode, i just dont get what happen?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
maybe ill odin back to dk28 modem. and try that and also maybe i can try odining with the pit file on both.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
can anyone help me out, what happens when you odin says pass reboots and it launches with uid inconsistant?

Factory reset maybe in order?

Im trying to reflash the rom and see if that does any good, maybe it was kernal or something, this is what i get for trying to use odin and following directions :( it did succesful it just gives me that error,

reflash didnt do anything, ill guess ill try restoring my nandroid back up, if not guess ill have to odin back to d118 and factory reset.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
maybe this will work, like it worked in the past when something goes wrong restore the nandroid backup and the new modem is hopefully there and have no issues. if not im going to be sad, and have to odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
phew remind me next time to do a more recent update of nandroid back up, grr, btw i finally have the new modem after going through that crap.

am I missing something here?

I have Bonsai 2.0.1 and the 1.2 Kernal. I had DK28 in the Baseband (I looked) I ODIN'd the EB14 Modem. Everything was Successful..

I also did a PRL update, there was a new one (for me anyways) and my 3G performance is AWESOME!!! I havent done any actual Speed tests but its great...

I guess my question is was I not supposed to do this cause I had DK28? Im confused I thought I saw you have to have DI18..?

Also just checked GPS, turned my GPS on and within Seconds it found me within feet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bdillon:
You only need DI18 to flash it via Clockwork. You can Odin it over anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] volDeus:
Odin'd last night over DK28 and Frankenstien.. Seems to have the same GPS issues that DK28 did, worse even, losing lock more often. Not sure it's related, but I also have had to soft-reset multiple times this morning to get Maps to load or plot directions. Data speeds are about the same as DK28.
