[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monotune:
ok, this is what happened:

1. I rooted Clockwork (successfully) to my phone

2. I replaced Froyo with Eclair using Odin

3. I downloaded Samsung's Desktop Manager to upgrade to Android 2.2

4. after I connected my phone to PC, my phone went blank

5. when I pressed the power button, it booted to this error message:

(it's a Phone then a "!" then a PC. so I presume it's about the Epic to PC connection :/)

I can NOT boot in recovery mode or any other mode, it stays right there on that message

I've NEVER heard nor seen of this message before

can someone PLESASE help me? :(

EDIT: can a mod please delete/move this?

I pulled my battery out for about 10 mins, put and left it in (but didn't power it on)

about 2 hrs later I turned it back on and I completed the upgrade

very weird :/

Help

I'm getting this same error when I tried to update from 2.1 to 2.2. How did you end up solving this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Problem solved

you have to go back in download mode and use odin or samsungs exe

try diff. cable, ports, computer

I know it is not Motorola's practice to cut off HID bluetooth profiles (like samsung does) to allow keyboards and the connection of WiiMotes and such, but just to be sure...

Could anyone confirm if this phone is able to pair with a Wiimote?

I know it seems like it wouldn't be a major feature, but I have had this black wiimote sitting around for half a year now waiting to pair to my Vibrant.

I recently downloaded "mikebeecham's" HD Icon pack from the forum, available here at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=828832 . I decided to take these icons and apply a sort of frosted "matte" glass look to them. Pending his permission, I would love to be able to release them. Anyways, here is what I have done so far.

I love my phone but it's frustrating seeing other galaxy devices getting updates left and right while we get left in the dark

I posted a comment on samsung forum saying that this phone is great but it's already outdated when it hit the stores and they denied my comment

Honestly I'm losing hope due to the fact my girlfriend had a Droid Incredible with 2.2 even my old G1 has 2.2 it may be to much for it to handle it but it still has 2.2

Btw. If it wasn't for you developers I would have left a long time ago Thank You Guys

[Continuum General] imnuts:
It will get 2.2 eventually, but only time will tell how long. If we can get kernel source for the I500 phones, we should be able to get you a working kernel, and you may be able to use one of the Fascinate Froyo ROMs then. The biggest problem you'll have is getting the kernel until Samsung releases the OTA or source because of the different video driver used for the screen/ticker/soft keys.
[Continuum General] sytech55:
I'm with you on this update lincoln3823. Very frustrating hearing other phones have froyo while a phone released in November is unable to get an update.

I love my phone but I'm going crazy with my RSS not working at all and SNS not working correctly (facebook-yes; twitter-no).

I've even reset my phone and it worked for maybe a couple of days.

Why won't they push an update to froyo??
[Continuum General] lincoln3823:
Well it was said that samsung was charging carriers to release ota firmware updates. I don't know how much it is true but I'm starting to believe the rumors.

Sent from my Rooted space time Continuum w/ 2600mAh battery
[Continuum General] sytech55:
If that's true, that really stinks.

Sure wish I new someone who knows the answer to this question.

Heck, I might even pay for it, if the cost (ROI) was worth it. Sure would like to see flash on my phone. Besides froyo has 57% of the market vs. eclair at 31%.

That's crazy considering the Continuum came out in November.

On another note:

I haven't rooted my phone and I noticed your signature as Rooted.

Question? Is it worth rooting? I've read Pros on it but haven't seen any Cons. What's the drawback on it? Updates? Can you revert back to stock if I choose too.
[Continuum General] dfgged:
There is only 1 con of rooting. Having to re-root after an OTA update :-P

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum General] lincoln3823:
Yea are no cons every since I rooted my phone. I was able to freeze all of verizon garbage freeing up memory thats usually taken by crap that I don't use eg. skype and you can root and unroot as many times as you like

[Continuum General] sytech55:
I hear you dfgged.

So like I've been looking around at forums to root my phone but I have no idea what I'm doing. Really none. Just got my continuum in Jan. I read about OneClick and SuperOneClick (think that's right) and sometimes it works and sometime not.

Can you point me to the "Root for Dummies" section?

Also, what software do I need to backup my phone incase of trouble so I can revert back to stock?
[Continuum General] dfgged:
If you want, I could make a tutorial much like my one for CWM. It might take me a bit to edit it though, but better late than never XD

Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.
[Continuum General] sytech55:
Tutorials are always great. I'd love to see it.

BTW, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick. It worked perfectly and I've verified it using Root Checker. Now my next step is I want to remove or freeze the bloatware.

I'll direct future non Subject (Are we ever going to get 2.2) related questions to appropriate Threads posting.
[Continuum General] jodakiel:
I really didn't have an idea about rooting either....seems like I was looking everywhere for rooting information. I tried z4 multiple times with no effect. superoneclick worked. I am running a windows 7 laptop. The phone drivers updated (downloaded from the net) when I plugged in my phone. Then I followed the video instructions on superoneclick site and everything worked fine. continuum w/ verizon. Now I just need to figure out how update to 2.2 :) I"m on the way!
[Continuum General] DroidXcon:
There is no leaks available yet so the only way to get to 2.2 is to wait, or hope that Adrynalyne can get a leak.

But both imnuts and Adrynalyne are both working on custom roms so there will be some love for the continuum
[Continuum General] tclair:
Continuum

It's now March 29, still no 2.2. Any info?
[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
samsung submitted ec17 for the fascinate to verizon...and apparently that is still in testing...im just gonna assume it ll fail testing like most of their updates and never come out :o

the fascinate root crowd no longer really cares though as the mesmerize 2.2 officially came out w/ source....

but it seems like continuum updates follow quickly behind fascinate updates...so if hypothetically a fascinate ota occured like this week then it would probably be soon after for the i400
[Continuum General] ExNukeSquid:
Ok, I was just fine tweaking 2.1 for now until something happened and we finaly got 2.2+, since Eclair isn't really that bad. Now I am starting to see 2.2+ only apps (ones that I want to try mostly) and it's starting to make me less patient. It saddens me since this phone had so much potential with the decent hardware and interesting ticker feature, but it is quickly being left in the dust as the little android that couldn't... /sadpanda
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Looks like Samsung has released the Froyo source code for the Fascinate... that could be a good sign... Of course, isn't there a Fascinate on Rogers (Canada) that has had Froyo for awhile?

Now for the continuum. Come on vzw. You can do it.
[Continuum General] e5usmc:
I'm currently running 2.2.1, baseband/build version S:i400.0.6V.EC01, kernel version 2.6.32.9

Tried to attach a picture, but still a noob...

Its coming.....
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Screenshots? We want your ROM!!!
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
Where did you get your update?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
I was on 2.2.1 too, with the same kernel version and rom build... How did you do it though? Because imnuts's kernel is what I used, and I thought I was the only one who got that kernel from him :P isnt very stable, so we didn't post it :P

So what did you do? Lol..
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Here's his screenshot btw... No chance you could send a system dump to Adrynalyne or IMNuts is there, Sarge?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
What? ! ? ! That is an original froyo rom for the continuum, not just a port from the fascinate! ? Wtf? Lmao
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
So many questions? ! Lol..

Like, did it come with it- or was it a upgrade? o_O
[Continuum General] imnuts:
e5usmc, if you really do have Froyo, I'm sure that everyone here would love for you to this guide. We don't need all of that data, but if you could dump system, recovery, and kernel, it would be much appreciated. (/dev/block/stl9, /dev/block/bml7, & /dev/block/bml8)
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Looking at the picture now big makes it kinda look like its a fake :l I'm still going to hope not though...
[Continuum General] e5usmc:
Yup, it's the real deal...

In the interest of self-preservation, I'll not be answering how I got it, sorry.

Been running it for a full day now, and really like it over my last version. Like, duh...

I'll be doing what I can to help, but please pardon me in advance for being cryptic, stingy with info, and otherwise slightly paranoid... It's not without reason.
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
If you want to do anything you can to help just please, PLEASE for the love of God dump that data... I hate being behind on tech, especially something as necessary as Flash :( I will love you long time if you do it lol
[Continuum General] lincoln3823:
Honestly if you really felt paranoid then why did you release this out on this forum you could have talk to one of the two developers we have working on this but you have to go out and bragg and leave us out in the dust you're no better then samscum with their horrible update schedule

I will see what I can find once I'm able to root it... which wont be before mid to late week next week.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Alright, sounds good... If you need help rooting, we got you covered :P There are really easy methods to do just that for our phone :)

Kinda anxious though, hope we can find a way to chop down that week waiting period ;) lmao
[Continuum General] KDOG2020:
Shouldn't we be wanting to go straight to 2.3 instead?
[Continuum General] dfgged:
That would be nice.... Honestly, I just want Froyo at this point. I'm not all that crazy about gingerbread and I'd rather just get froyo, and I'm sure everyone else would like froyo. I think since we've waited this long, we can wait a bit longer for gingerbread after we get froyo.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Lol, we have learned to be (very) happy for what we get =P
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Yeah I don't even care about gingerbread now. There isn't much in it that I want bad, but froyo is a huge update that should be mandatory. Imo, flash takes these devices from smart phones to pocket computers.
[Continuum General] Weudel:
Had Froyo on my Eris (which was not Flash capable) and I miss Chrome-to-phone and some of the newer apps that aren't even available to us because we're stuck on Eclair... Not to mention the jump in performance and improved battery life, but Samsung might Wiz all over that with their UI... Just get us to Froyo so we can strip all of that bloat off of there...
[Continuum General] jodakiel:
So any news on froyo...leaks rumors etc?
[Continuum General] ntien:
did some research and from what I read, its not looking good. The only articles i saw of the continuum getting 2.2 said we were scheduled to get it 2 or 3 months ago. I dont know if that means samsung gave up or if theyre still working on it
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Trust me, we are getting froyo :P its just a matter of how much longer xP hopefully soon now that Samsung finished 2.2 for the Fascinate a while ago...

So, we just gotta hold on :)
[Continuum General] ntien:
They have a lot of stuff im hoping theyll fix! My ticker doesnt get any feeds at all from facebook, twitter, rss, etc. I hope they make things right with froyo! Will updating to froyo remove my root? And can I update to froyo from the DL17 ROM?
[Continuum General] circa881:
I have the clean ROM that adrynalyne put out and the peanutbutta jelly time kernel plus a couple other things and my ticker if working just fine
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Was it not working before? If so, I may just have to install that... though I don't want to go through the hassle of redoing everything :(
[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
frankly im kinda shocked it hasnt come out yet :eek: ...the january MR for the fascinate/continuum launched within a week of one another...

but whenever verizon and sammy tag-team something........results may vary
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
I'm starting to get seriously fed up with this. I'm sick of being left behind! If we don't get Froyo in the next two weeks I'm returning it and buying a Nexus S. It's even more bullcrap that i specifically asked when 2.2 was coming out when I bought it because I didn't want this BS to happen and they told me within a month it was coming out. After this I think I'm done with Verizon.
[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
honestly id still take a nexus s on either sprint or tmo even with a gingerbread continuum..but thats me
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
So uh... Guessing this isn't happening now is it?

Teach me to get my hopes up :(
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Bummp for hopeful dump....

I seriously think Samsung has killed support for this. I've tried to get on their live chat support for this every day for the last few days and it ALWAYS says there are no agents available. The questions page is down too....

I hate to say it guys, but we're ****ed unless this guy dumps his (which I still doubt he even has) or adren somehow can magically modify the fascinate kernel :(
[Continuum General] jodakiel:
Well I guess it's time to make some noise again then. Need to start spam messaging verizon and samsung about getting an update. Post messages on popular sites and generally cause a stir. Finally worked due the fascinate users. ..otherwise time to demand a new phone.
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Well Google just announced they are making guidelines for carriers and making them put out updates for the first 18 months of a devices launch... this bodes well for us provided the guidelines cover already released devices and they get the guidelines done before the 18 months is up for us lol.
[Continuum General] Weudel:
The way I see it, Google just bought Samsung 6 months (I'm due for one in August) before I upgrade to make me forget how awful they've been treating us. I'll wait until Ice Cream Sandwich is out, but if we don't get Froyo this month and Gingerbread by September at the latest, I won't be getting another Samsung phone.

I hate this phone. It's full of bugs. They won't give as an android update let alone updates for bug fixes. Worst android phone imaginable.
[Continuum General] Weudel:
The only complaint I have with this phone is the lack of update and the Ticker. It is not the worst Android phone by a long shot. The hardware is spectacular, and with some minor tweaks this will be one of the better phones available. Don't let the hate go too far.
[Continuum General] ntien:
Do you think once we get 2.2, there will be more development for this phone? I'm talking about ROM's, ticker mods, developers, etc.?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
You and your bajillion questions o_O

First this board is too quiet for how long, now its way too loud :P hehe..

No affence bro, just realize that the same questions you have almost all of us have :P

And try to figure things out on your own sometimes too never hurts ;) like how about downloading kernel manager and checking if there is a continuum section or not for example... Or reading all of our threads on the latest developments before asking ;)
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
This hard. Motoblur or not I'll probably be going there. Unless, as I pray to God every night, Verizon gets the Nexus S or the next variation on it. Samsung or not, I'd get that.
[Continuum General] jodakiel:
I agree the hardware is good but it like running a quad core on windows vista. .. no worky.

Sammy dropped the ball on the continuum. If they want loyal customers well they d better try some good ol customer service. Otherwise it doesn't matterwhat hardware they provide.

[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
that makes no sense...you want an open unlocked google experience device the nexus...yet would also buy a totally locked and non-root friendly motorola device...way opposite ends of the spectrum there

a lot of us bugged the crap out of every samsung twitter person for months for the fascinate update...didnt help, but it was kind of fun :)
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
The thing is that so far I've had no reason to root my continuum. Yes, it's rooted but I've had no need to use any of it's rooted features. The reason behind getting the Nexus is that they are constantly updated and pretty quickly.

And from what I understand the Droid series and the Thunderbolt are completely rootable.
[Continuum General] nitsuj17:
since last summer motorola locks down their phones...that means no kernels, no *real* clockwork recovery (just hijacks) no aosp...just the same 7zip roms over and over and over

That's weak... I'd rather have a Nexus S anyways but Sprint gets 0 signal around here.

Recent Press release from samsung said that they're updating the Galaxy S line to 2.3 in Mid-May. I'm in the live chat right now seeing if that covers the continuum as well, I'll post the log when I'm done :)

To those who have called, what did they say? I would love to see this thing get the 2.3 update.
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Finally got through to someone who could tell me stuff. They essentially said the same thing that tech support lady said. There is an update but it hasn't been approved by management yet so it isn't released. I told them I wanted to file for an update and that I was very dissatisfied that the continuum is stuck on 2.1 while all the other galaxy S phones are now set to have 2.3 in May. He said he was filing a report and sending it to management so they would know that I was calling to push for the update, so I suggest you guys all do the same. We can use all the numbers we can get to do this.

EDIT: Made a new thread about this, hopefully it will help get the word out to more people than being buried in a thread. I plead for you guys to PLEASE call that number and help. Seriously. I feel cheated and ripped off and I'm sure many of you do as well... This phone has SO much potential but it's getting forgotten and left behind.
