Thanks to tnpapadakos for the info. to fix the charging phone with phone off auto boot to recovery issue all we have to do is use the 2.5.1.4 recovery. then you could always flash back to the latest clockwork recovery when you dont need this one anymore but can go back to the other one when you wanna charge with the phone off.
You could either flash it or put it in your sdcard in clockworkMOD/download/mirror.kanged.net/recoveries for easier access to flash from Rom manager. Make sure its named recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-vision once its there when you go to ROM managerr and go to all clockwork recoveries, you can flash that recovery without getting an Error! or rename it to recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision and flash it through that option.
Now does anyone still have that recovery? We can't get it from the ROM manager because you will get an ERROR. if anyone has it, post it here and ill add it here for everyone to get.

I looked in the first page.. there is no such fix about fixing the phone booting into clockwork recovery when you turn off the phone. I'd lovea link to the page in that thread were you posted the fix.
edit: OP here is the recovery you were looking for 2.5.1.3 correct?

You led to me links on the first page of an ancient thread that have no use because they dont work. and the first link only leads you to download the latest recovery. But here's the best part, your link you had in that thread doesn't work anymore. How cool are you?

While you would rather be right. We would rather be happy.
Also... what good does it do you to give you what you want? It's more helpful if we show you how to get there instead... teach a man to fish, right? So how about you stop expecting (and demanding), and instead learn a little... it won't kill you to read through a thread (I'm still here, aren't I?)... instant gratification just shows how arrogant you are.
As for the broken link? There are numerous posts about a mirror being made by someone... how about you click "search" one more time?

damien667 said:
Its not a kernel patch, its a init.rc service than runs before recovery that reads the kernel command line for the offmode_charging variable... if it sees it it stops recovery from starting (even though you are in fact already booted into the recovery system) and starts a keypressing service (to reboot phone into regular boot mode when power button is pressed) and also the battery charging service that is supposed to display the battery icon charging animation (which doesn't work in cwm)... those services (binaries) were grabbed from the OTA recovery... if you read my previous posts, you would know.

Fantastic. Thank you
I had the Cm7 gx4 rom not too long ago, and it had a really cool wallpaper that I used, and I'd like to have again. Off topic for a second, it was a white honeycomb pattern.
Anyways, I've tried going through the zip file for the wallpapers, even went through RC1 and RC2 to find it. Then tried opening the ADW zip within those roms and trying to find it there. I have an old nandroid backup from when I had that rom, and I was wondering how would one go about opening up the nand and extracting files? all that comes up when I open it at IMG files. Is it possible to navigate through it like a zip file?

Yeah. I did a search and all (as I stated in my post), but I must not have searched the perfect keywords. XDA search seems finicky.
And I hope you didn't get the wrong idea from my post. I wasn't trying to say that you, specifically, should have helped me. It was more out of frustration with the fact that no one at all replied, and the fact that there actually was a perfect thread that I couldn't find.
Anyway, thank you for finally opening my eyes, and I will hit the thanks button for you when I get on a computer instead of the app.
I got those img files extracted by using dsixda's kitchen; rename those nand imgs as boot.img, and use kitchen function #22 to extract them.
Was this the answer you were looking for?

Figures. Well, I guess I just posted mine at the wrong time. The Q&A section moves fast.
Hey folks, just got my epic 4g two days ago. been trying to root it since then. the battery life is terrible on the stock ROM and i want something that allows me to use my phone without worry about draining all the power. I cant seem to root it though. i tried this one click root;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
but it says the phone is not connected. so installed drivers, tried a different cable and nothing has helped. what can i do? also, if someone could just lay out how you flash a new ROM and such. i havent seen a FAQ or anything that clearly outlines the process and im very confused.
thank you!!
You need:
1. A USB cable other than the stock one, it's a POS
2. Switch USB ports if one doesn't work, use one in the back if it's a desktop
3. Restart Computer/Epic if it still doesn't work
tried all of that, and ever port on my computer. no luck.

If you've finally successfully rooted, then you've done the hardest part. From here on out please make an effort to browse and search the forum, or GOOGLE search your question with "XDA" in the search bar. Everything you have asked up until now I can easily find answered 10 times on this forum.
There are many of us here that are happy to take the time to help you get the most out of your Epic and try and answer your questions, but we get very tired of constantly answering the same questions.
It's time to wean you.
To put you on the right path though, I will answer you. This is a rooted STOCK rom you have now. No adjustments except the freedom to adjust it yourself. You want a custom rom to flash over that, such as Bonsai, Midnight, or Syndicate Rom Frozen, which I will not link you to .

When in recovery:
-Make a backup of your current ROM (this goes for whenever you are about to flash anything)
-Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
-Flash kernel of your choice (make sure it works with your rom and is for your phone model before flashing)
-Wipe cache & Dalvik cache
-reboot and let phone sit for 5-10 minutes
If your phone ends up in a boot loop or you run into a ton of FC's then the kernel isn't for your ROM, either choose a different kernel or a different ROM.

Thank you sir!
What are some good apps for overclocking and underclocking and all that good stuff?
What ROM are you on? Most ROMs nowdays (AOSP/AOKP/CM derivatives) come with some sort of performance control app already baked in (some work, some don't for one reason or another). But without knowing what you are running, you'll get generic answers.
Otherwise you can just search in the market for OverClock and see what they have. SetCPU, CPUTuner,...They are all out there.
I appeciate that too sir.

Do some reading in the thread for the kernel you are trying to flash. You're doing something wrong. But giving us info like " I'm having problems again, I cant flash a kernel" is not helping anyone to help you. You'll have better luck READING instead of wanting it spoon fed to you. All the info you'll need is there in the threads for the kernels. Search, read, accomplish.

You've been asked numerous times to help us help you. Without the info on what you're running, you're just hurting your self and cluttering up the thread. Please tell us what rom you are running and what kernel you are attempting to flash each time you post.

I'm using Snipers PACMAN, and battery just seems to drain way to fast. It is the latest push. Being newly registered on here I hate to introduce my self this way but I need advice. What tweaks are being used by people for the SPH-D710 to help with this issue? I originally started with the CM 10.1 rom and found I had no data, flashed a different modem. Still no data, switched roms and now have data....go figure! But the battery drain is killing me, I've got it throttled back as far as I can go and it still be a daily driver. So anyone have any suggestions?

Most 4.2 Roms use ICS modems. As for battery us betterbatterystats found here on xda or gsam in the play store to determine if there's any rogue apps keeping the phone from sleeping. I also do manual syncing. Greenify is a great app to keep apps from running on their own. You can also use a custom kernel to limit max frequency and even undervolt. Kernels also come with different governors

After reading through the above posts you should have some useful ideas about what this governor does.Also...as for installing a governor, they will be included in the kernel that flashed with ur rom or a kernal of ur choosing(MAKE SURE IT WILL WORK WITH THE ROM YOU HAVE) Im new to this, so if there is another way I dont know about it. Do ur research... As for setting a governor.. There are many roms with built in performance controls as well as many apps to set them. I suggest (set cpu) . It has a setting that will make a zip so u can recover from ur settings if u bootloop. This is found after u install and give it root permission. Hit ur menu button and click SAFE MODE.

This site is so great about that because there is just so much knowledge here to learn.I think some people get over-whelmed by it though or they are just unsure and need that go ahead push to know it works.

Ok since I can't ask a Dev a question about the kernel I want to install.....which I kinda understand, but being stuck not being able to ask questions about something specific after reading all the pages blows! (rant off) [Kernel] Lightning Zap! Phase 4 Updated 15JUN13 is causing a boot loop, I followed all the instructions to the letter, crossed every T, dotted all the I's. Thank god for backup!

Well, you're commenting on a thread about battery life, but not posting about battery life. That's not going to help you much.
I also read that you want to ask a question, but I don't see a question in your post. If you do have a question, a great place to post it would be here: [Official] One Stop FAQ Thread - Noob Friendly (All questions go here). Okay? :good:

Well let me clarify it for you, it's my thread. The original question is still valid being as I was pointed this direction by a reply to my original post. Let me lessen your confusion on this matter......What other steps can I take to increase battery life......scripts didn't seem to help and a tweaked kernel put me in a boot loop....and whom do I ask if not the DEV?

Hey bro, easy on the tone. Because there are so many ways to ask the question, the best way is to just spell it out how you did above. Battery life depends on the apps/ROM/user all at the same time. I am on Project X ROM. It has Crossbreeder installed. Now I am not no where informative about that app other than a lot of people like it. So with that being said and it is installed on the ROM, I leave it. I also have ROM Toolbox Pro. I have adjusted my CPU control to 1000MHZ. I also have DS Battery Saver Pro set to custom and to kill all apps when the screen goes off. Last the ROM I am on comes with Greenify. A great app in saving battery. I also turn off data and only have WIFI on when I need it. No need to just let things run. With that I have had 50% battery life left after 11 hrs. That is my setup and may not work for you. The main thing is to understand that battery life for EACH phone is different no matter how many common denominators people may have. Team Venum did a comparison of ROM's and their respective battery life. I don't know the post, but if you type "battery life" in the search, then I am sure you can find it. As for you response, I was in your shoes at one time. It does help to be specific in your questions. Not saying that you weren't. Reading each and every post will get tiresome, but if you type in what you want in the search, you will get a slew of post to get info. I have only been a member for 4 months, but I have learned how to flash a ROM, Mods, push and app, setup custom home screen. I have even been given the honor of testing a ROM. If you still need help, you can PM me and I will do what I can. Have a great one.

Thanks Gil, this is exactly what I have done.
1. flashed from 4.03 to WILD-FOR-THE-NIGHT-07052013-d710, had no data....tried to find a fix for that...gave up after trying tweaks to help with the battery issue and no data.
2. Clean install of d710_PAC_JB_4.2.2-v23.0.0_20130719-015400, now have intermittent data, wifi works, blutooth works, flashed Fl24 modem with no apparent improvement in data connectivity, thought after reading a kernel flash might fix issues, here comes the boot loop....flashed smdk4412_p4 waited patiently for 2hrs watching Pacman chasing ghosts.....booted into recovery and ran my backup tried it 2 more times on clean flashs gave up after 5 hrs. By clean I mean wipe/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, install from zip.
3. this is how I installed the kernel:
Make a backup
Download .zip to PC
Transfer .zip to sdcard
Reboot to recovery
Flash
Phone automatically rebooted after install
waited and waited......boot back into recovery. restore by backup.
everything has been done with CWM based recovery. I'm stumped....frustrated to no end......

First off...I have had the lzp_4 boot loop on me. I pulled the battery,waited about 2 min. Put it back in and booted to recovery. Then I wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted and it took off(booted fine). I have no idea why or how, but this worked for me. Now to my main concern. If you came straight from ics to a jb rom I think this is going to cause you issues, if you hadn't been on jb before. I suggest the one - click full restore(it wipes data,so back-up you're internal memory).This will get you're phone partition right for jb. After this. I think you should be able to flash what you want with no problems. I didn't see a problem with how you flashed. Wipe cache and dalvik on the kernal flashes you do.Here's the link for the one -click..
go to linked page and click on download ota at top of page
I would read through the page it sends you to well.Don't forget to thank those guys..Hope this helps.Hit me up if it doesn't.

Doing a one click restore worries me, I'm not on sprint any more and worried about losing my flash to my current carrier. Is this a concern I should have since I'm not used to working with odin? I'm more than willing to try another ROM also, I'm not locked into this by any means.....

The carrier should not matter if you are on an E4GT phone. But if your trying to go to a JB ROM, you will need to aupdate to GB** for your phone. For sprint it is GB27. Have you tried RWilco12's repository to see if your carrier is listed? Also QBKing77 has a lot of videos concerning this specific phone. How to flash specific ROMs and upgrading specific build, modems and such. Something has got to work for you.

Well now I'm stuck on Sprints 4G boot screen just keeps looping.....WTH.....I've never had a phone be a pain like this....guess I let it kill the battery and see what happens. Recovery is there, not cwm so can't even restore my backup. I'm just frustrated by this phone! Gill, bigmike any idea which way to turn now?

What ROM did you flash? Was it ICS or Jellybean? What carrier are you on. That was never revealed.
Never kill the battery. I sed you tried" Wild for the night" and Pac something. Can you get to recovery?
