No one can hear me when i Receive/Make phone calls??? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dont understand whats happening... It was working fine then all of a sudden im having issues with people hearing me when i make or receive calls. I can hear them but they cant hear me and when i toggle speaker phone it echos and makes weird sounds on the phone and the phone calling... have not dropped it or anything. When i use a voice recording program the mic works just fine. I just flashed the super nova rom (works great with Dk28) and this **** started happening. I tried to apply AudioFixRC.zip but it fails to flash and puts my phone in a boot loop... any help would be awsome.
Ive Flashed other roms and the problem still occurs.
Please any help would be rad.

You need to post more info
Which file system are you using rfs or ext4.
i had the same issue once
but when i used Odin to go back to stock dk28 tar it cleared the issue.

I used odin to restore back to the stock rom, kernel and removed root hoping it would solve the issue. Didnt help... still having the same problem. Everythig else works great. So whatever stock file system is, thats what ive got now. Any ideas??

Honestly...
Any ideas would be appreciated!! Im so glad i own an HTC Inc!! Ive been toying with a few phones and the epic has givin me nothing but problems! I would never buy this phone. Tryed to talk to my gf out of buying it but she didnt listen. So many problems!

I've heard of.people.having similiar problems on dk28 but not that bad. Try going back to di18 that should fix.it.

[Q] bricked phone and broken odin

please help me, im in big doodoo... i dropped my old epic in the snow a couple of days ago and lost it. just got my brand new 100$ replacement one and decided to head straight for eb13. i ended up with cwm3.whathaveyou and then from there i ended up converting to ext4 it seems. i made the mistake of trying to reboot with the odexed stock eb13 rom. which started this downward spiral of an increasingly less functional paper weight. basically now i cant even get to cwm or stock recovery. i cant do anything except start download mode... which i assume is the only way to fix it now, however everytime i start to flash a stock update such as dg27, dk28 or eb13 they keep getting stuck. eb13 got stuck on the "boot.bin" and dg27 is currently stuck on param.lfs
i know that my own ignorance has gotten me into this mess not reading throughly, but i was hoping some of you not so ignorant geniuses could help me out of this mess. any advice on how to get odin to finish its work would be greatly appreciated.
Wrong section.
To answer your question though. You should go to the stock DI18 per the instructions on the wiki.
okay. how and where do i move it?
It should go in either Q&A or General. This is for ROM and Kernal development only. You can't move it unless you delete it and make a new thread. An admin will have to move it.
please dont make any new topics in this section. this goes in q & a. pls read rules
okay sorry. how do i delete my post?

i Was where you are two days ago heres what you can do
Make sure you cant boot into any kind of recovery.
Call sprint technical they will try to reset it for you while you're talking to them on the phone act stupid but say you were trying to upgrade to froyo with samsungs exe.
they will reset it and it shouldn't be able to get pass the samsung boot then delete everything off of your sd card.
take it into your local sprint store they will fix it for free but remember tell them you were upgrading to froyo with SAMSUNG's Software not odin.

What u can try to do is uninstall odin and re install it that might help u. Also make sure u put the tar file under PDA section and retry. Hope that works for u. I would say flash back to di18 first then see if u can get th ota

Also if youre on EXT4 and using odin i think youre supposed to have repartition checked....that might help
Try flashing with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Use the second link: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
edit: piggy-backing on iSaint's post, yes click re-partition for this flash. When I flashed, I actually had all 3 checked (repartition, reset time and auto reboot).

The link is for a Odin flash, not cwm. It will flash EB13 kernel and modem, preroot and install cwm3

I say grab the Samsung Phone Flash tool and go stock EB13 and then try again. CWM/EXT4 and EB13 stock kernel don't play together. You need a modded kernel.
Solved
Thank you all. Especially Isaint. I tried every ones suggestions and just ended up taking it into sporting and they have me my phone back and updated to eb13 within 20 minutes. Thank you guys all again for saving my life.

[Q] [Help] Girlfriend wants root

Hello all... Recently my girlfriend and I had purchased the Epic Touch 4g for her. She absolutely loves the phone but the signal strength isn't the best. I have had a Droid 1 for 2 years now and have flashed roms/kernels on a weekly basis for the past year and a half. Can anyone recommend a good starter Rom/Kernel? Is flashing a rom/kernel for the Epic Touch just as easy as flashing for the Droid? I've done some research and I am a bit overwelmed. It seems like clockworkmod recovery is being ran on the Epic Touch but the process for flashing is different? (maybe not, but like I said, I'm a tad overwelmed ).. Also, are there any tweaks after root that would improve signal strength? If anyone can help me out to get us started I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
-Mike
I recommend starburst rom v1.6.. it comes with LostKernel which is a good kernel to use.. for root though, there are dif. methods, i originally rooted mine with Zedomax Kernel through Odin.. fairly easy .. so get it rooted, and i'd go with starburst v1.6 which when flashing it through CWM once you have root, also flashes the lostkernel
I recommend Starburst. Runs sooo smooth and its the only ROM that I see being actively updated. Viper just got into the game so if you don't like touchwiz, you can flash his ROM too which uses another launcher but i would say equally great. Comes down to preference and what works best.
And to get root and clockwork, I followed bubbys
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287776
It seems to get root you have to use odin, but once thats done you can use clockwork to flash ROMs. If you get issues Odin is there for support.
Thanks! Too bad my girlfriend starts work in an hour
Take a look at this thread Id really recommend to check the links I have linked to save you some pain....

So wait... after reading that thread it says that the bootloader keeps a record of everytime you flash with Odin? So if something happens to her phone and we need to take it in, they will know we rooted it?
A good reason to use starbursts rom is because its just way smoother some how and he stream lined the rom and did a bunch of tweaks that make noticably fast/smoother. That's the reason most are using it

Cool, thanks, I got worried for a little bit there... I mean, we got it rooted and everything just fine, but I failed to mention to my girlfriend that there might be a slight problem if we tried to take the phone in ... I figured that problem would get solved eventually but it's good to know I'm in the clear
yeah I wouldn't worry about it, chances are if you flash everything stock theres still a counter chances are they wont notice or pay it much attention. its possible but, I've had friends take their evo in with security off and everything else flashed stock and it was ok.
Bring her to me I will root her. Don't bring your cable I will use mine to plug in her smoothly in order to root through odin.

You can use a jig, it will get rid of the yellow triangle on bootscreen and bring the counter down to zero.
The jig costs $7 MAX, all you do is plug it into microusb while phone is on, and the phone reboots automatically, and everything is back to normal. Process takes about 30 seconds max, and you can use the jig multiple times, with how many ever samsung phones, it is NOT a one time use deal.

[Q] Anyone else get these issues after Rooting?

So there are a few things that happen when I root so i had to unroot the phone cause of these issues.

Use the epic touch Zedomax kernel v3 ,, it is the best out it is already rooted overclocked to 1.6 more battery life, flashes perfect with odin put into pda and flash youll be rooted with orange clockwork recovery!
if you need t go back to stock first use the eg30.tar put ino pda in odin!
This works perfect and is flawless

Do i have to restore to factory after i flash that kernel?
Not booting into recovery...
I also am wondering if I have to go back to stock. When I reboot into recovery, I get the exclamation point inside a triangle with little green android guy, and have to hold down power button long time and _then_ reboot into clockwork mod. That’s not right, is it? Here is the detail: Got my SGS2, Sprint, rooted, using ZedoMax's method (Odin, flash his ROM, voila: rooted). But then had trouble flashing Clockwork Mod. Recovery 3e requires signature verification for flashing external files, so it's barfing, throws error can't read file signature, hard stop. Replaced the ROM with his new one: SPH D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v2.tar. So then flashed acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar to try to fix Clockwork mod...no. Then flashed latest build from Zedomax: SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernel-v3.tar. Still, recovery doesn't go straight to orange menu, which is not right, right? I know, I'm a noob, but I can't even begin to explain how much time this has taken. Thx to anyone who can help.

[Q] Any Suggestions on a dropped phone

OK hopefully you guys with tons of Epic 4g experience can help.
My wife dropped her rooted Epic 4G and now it will only boot into recovery.
I have tried to wipe the phone completely, re-flashed the rom, downloaded a new rom and tried to flash that and even considered trying, dare I say it, try to un-root the phone.
It doesnt seem to be able to get past the samsung splash screen. Do any or you masters of this phone have any suggestions on how to fix this. Could it be something with the hardware? And is it worth trying to get it fixed with the new phones about to come out.
Grateful to all that help

Flash it back to stock via odin.
Give me a sec to link you the how to video.
Make sure you have a nonstock usb.. otherwise you might end up soft bricking it.
If this video doesn't seem within your abilities then I can remotely do this if you'd like via teamviewer.

it boots into recovery, so it's fixable. do what uber said. odin it back to stock. if you know how to do so and need the tar files, just let us know.
Something like this happened recently when my lady dropped her phone. It would take like 20 minutes to boot up, and would act extremely slow to where it was useless. Cwm worked fine, and even an odin to stock wouldn't save it. We had to file a claim and replace it.

Can't flash back to stock!!!

So here's my problem, I got the note 2 a few days ago, and as with all my other android phones the first thing I did was root it and start flashing roms. Well the first thing i tried to flash was the note2core kernel, which completely disabled any sort of connection i had to the sprint network.
After doing a restore in TWP, i'm still having the same problems. its now at the point where i have network connection (texts/calls) but have no internet (4g/3g). When i try hands free activation, the 4g symbol pops up and it looks like its connecting, but when i try to use data in anything else, it just says no connection and the 4g symbol is no longer there.
So after all this, i decided screw it i'm just gonna go back to stock, i'd rather have a stock working phone than a half functioning one. Using the note 2 toolkit, i downloaded and extracted the stock rom, but it keeps getting stuck on sboot.bin and failing, leaving me now with a phone that doesn't do anything but tell me to connect to kies and do an emergency restore, which i've tried to even less success. all other roms just get stuck in bootloop, and the only thing i can do now is flash recovery that came with the toolkit through odin which will let the phone boot up fine but i'm back to square one, no internet. Someone please help me, i've researched this through the forums for hours and hours now, it seems some ppl have the same problem but no answer. if i can just get back to factory form i'd be happy. Thanks to anyone that can help me with this miserable problem.
**update** things have gotten worse, my twp backup no longer exists and i'm stuck in an endless bootloop
Damn budy just days ago? and already messed this great device up. Dont worry I'm sure is just a hiccup but nothing I can help with. Kernel you mention tho ive never heard

Worked like a charm!!!!!! thank you so very much
The sboot.bin will fail its a safety thing samsung put in to stop from going back to older boot loaders ... There is a workaround for it...please read more before flashing kernels that are not for this phone .... that was the first and worst thing you did ... note2core is not a sprint kernel ...
