I'm in. I'll get the kernel up and running, should be a matter of 30 seconds to put it in the microwave. How long do you cook a 3.5 bag of kernels?

Depends on elevation I believe. If you near sea level about 3 hours on medium. Defrost its 1.8 hours. ;p

Please post questions in Q&A section. Everyone please remember to click the "Report Post" button on the original post to have immediate action taken by the moderators. Also do not post in the thread itself telling the user that he made a mistake or broke a rule as it doesn't contribute to the thread and is unnecessary.
But knowing this isn't real...I'll just go ahead and say do not flame.

Ok so I will try to explain with all the details as I can and thanks for your help
I was rooted with S-off and everything was fine. Was testing some ROM recently when my phone yesterday morning started rebooting on its own. I tried to unplug the battery and go into recovery but it kept rebooting. When i say rebooting it means it went to white screen with htc logo then few seconds with black screen then back to white screen and so on. I tried everything with no avail. Tried RUU from sprint but that did nothing and same problem (only updated my hboot from .93 to 2.02) and when I tried another one the first RUU from sprint available it makes my phone vibrate 5 times and then green light flashing with black screen.
I cannot get into recovery at all. Cannot get ADB to connect and I get fastboot remote not allowed if i tried to erase recovery. Tried to flash recovery several times with no help using Hboot and PC36IMG.zip. Please help me if you can and thanks in advance.

someone would have helped him by now if it was in the qa section, now he's either going to get some bad advice or everyone will just ignore his question
Most likely, this will get moved to Q&A anyhow, and btw, I come to the Dev section last and I DO follow the speed limit (+ about 1% over) and use my blinkers at every turn....

I learned a new word.... lol. But ur absolutely right. People seem more interested in chewing you out than offering a helping hand. Even if the thread is in the wrong place.

[Q] Samsung Stock Gingerbread??

I was wondering if anyone had heard something official (or not) about whether or not Samsung is going to eventually give us Epic 4G users Gingerbread (Android 3.0) or not???
They did eventually give us Froyo, but I'm hoping they're not like HTC and will just drop us like a rock in lieu of newer phones.
~Z
Couple of things here... the fact that you put a [Q] in front of your title should tell you it goes in Q&A not development... also Gingerbread is not 3.0... and there are probably 10 post or more about this. The answer is yes, we are thinking June 20th, not confirmed. There are some leaked versions. Next time search and post in the correct section.

Don't start that flaming crap, just left the 3d and most of the threads are filled with flame this and flame that. Just sick of people talking **** because they don't approve of the location the op might have chose either on purpose or accident. Just saying that this forum is a nice change where you actually get help or learn something by reading the thread instead of following 9 million different arguments over bull.

Firmware version

Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.

Back to stock gingerbread for me :(

So I had to switch back to gingerbread after a week or so of running the ics leak. The deal breaker for me was battery life. I absolutely loved being on ics and consider it vastly superior, but, even swapping out batteries (I have 2) it was still too much work. And then theres the failness of showing someone how awesome ics is and then WTF IS KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE... lol. It was a good daily driver but I like when my phone lasts more than 6 hours. I cant wait for a stable ROM to be released! And I congratulate all the devs on your hard work. Guys if it werent for you I would be so much less of a nerd, and for that I salute you.

Oh my god you flamer idiots need to get a life. I'm sure the OP wanted to inform people who were thinking about flashing the leak that battery sucks on it. Or maybe it's a poorly worded request for help. Either way you don't have to pile on like that.
