Having issues updating to dk28? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i flashed the dk28 modem via the flashable zip in clockwork and says successful then i tried flashing noobnls odex 2.2 rom and says it completes then i reboot then it goes to the samsung screen then reboots from there to the samsung screen to stock recovery, im still able to get in clock work and im flashing stock 2.1 rom back now and it worked.
Any ideas what can be causing this to hapen while trying to flash this?
Also without odin how can i get back to d118 modem? i tried the flashable zip that firon made but doesnt seem to work. i get an error 7 or something and im stuck with dk28?

I didn't even know they had a flashable modem.zip for Clockwork.
Did you try just using Odin?

Well it flashed fine and when i reboot my phone to d118 stock zip, it says i have dk28 baseband version.
When i flashed the rom it flashed like it should of and then i reboot sat at the samsung screen a couple of seconds then it rebooted again to samsung screen then stock purple recovery.

i think im going to do a bunch a wipes odin back to d118 stock complete, however i dont know what is the best to use to save all my apps and settings and what not?
Anyone have the best suggestion?

Is it possible just to flash the d118 modem back via odin? rather then everything?

Yes just open up the full di18 tar file and pull the modem file out. Then you use that with the pit file to flash to in Odin. Why don't you just use Odin to flash the dk28 rom instead of the update.zip? Using that method caused to many problems cause it wasn't a fresh install. I know you want something to backup all your apps but it's always better to do a fresh install. You can always to do a NAND backup and then do an advanced restore of data.

Ok I will do that, i was reading up on odin and btw how do i open the tar file when its an md5 file do i change the extension to tar and open it with winrar?
update ok that worked, now in odin do i put the modem in the phone section cause the pda section wont take the bin file.

Ok so i got the modem.bin out of the tar file, do i put that in the phone section in odin and that will take my modem back to d118 and thats all odin will do if i just put the modem there and the pit file? It will just flash the modem right?

[Q] ACS 1.1.0 on EB13 Modem?

Can this ROM be flashed on EB13 modem? If yes, can eco5 themes be flashed on top of that?
It's not recommended, just update the Modem through ODIN.
Should I use this instead of using odin?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012384
See, my problem is, I used this. Then put the new ROM on then matted blue theme, then helix boot and shutdown. With proper wipes and reboots in between but my pphone seems to run so sluggish. Just moving through screens and opening icons, everything is really laggy. ANy help?
I recommend just using ODIN to flash only the Modem, it avoids weird issues like what you're describing. It's not difficult at all and takes less then 3 minutes.
Can you give me a file and instructions on how to do this through odin?
You need to learn to search so you aren't dependent on people on here.
But for now here's a link to a video on how to use ODIN:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU
And the modem:
http://k0nane.info/rom/acs-ec05-modem.tar
DO I need a pit file too?
Not to flash just the modem.
Ok just so I am clear. I am on eb13 ext 4 stock right now. I just put the modem tar in pda or phone? With it checked or unchecked? And does anything else need to be check on odin? And no pit file. I just want to make sure I get this right.
Modem goes in phone. Be sure to uncheck the "F. Reset Time" box.
If you have any reception problems later on the EC05 modem, it is safe to flash back to the EB13 modem. A TAR has been posted in the thread.

[Q] Rooted, Won't Boot, Please Help

Hi All,
I'm sorry to start a new thread but I've been looking around for hours and I haven't slept (delirious as a result). Here's my situation:
I was on DK28, put on the one click root, and I got SU just fine. I rebooted to tried to flash an update (probably wouldn't have worked anyway) and it stopped and converted to ext4 (I think that's what happened). Since then I haven't been able to get it to boot up past the Samsung logo. My goal is EC05/Syndicate Frozen Rom 1.1.0. I figure I should use Odin for something, but it doesn't work! My drivers were fine for USB (storage/debugging) but not Download Mode. What do I do? Can I set up the connection I need for Odin through CWM?
Thanks
EDIT: is it safe to wipe everything and install a stock DI18 from a zip?

After the EXT4 conversion you needed to flash the SRF BEFORE you rebooted. If the ROM is still on your sd card, 3 finger into Clockwork and flash the ROM. If that does not work then it is best to Odin back to stock and try again, whether it is DI18, EB13 or EC05.
If you did let it convert to EXT4 then you cannot install DI18 from a zip because it is an RFS ROM.
Thanks for the fast reply, I didn't flash the SRF because I was at DK28, and now, as you said I can't flash DI18. Can I still flash SRF? If not, do you know how to resolve the USB problem with Odin?

So you grabbed CWM 3.0.0.6, rooted then booted into Clockwork, it converted you to EXT4 and then you rebooted without flashing SRF, correct? You should be able to flash it then Odin in the EC05 modem.
As far as Odin, try different USB ports, try a different cable. Each time it fails, pull the battery then go back into download mode and try again. Also reboot the computer fresh. I assume your drivers are good.
I'll try that. How do I flash the EC05 modem? Flash EC05 in Odin, Flash SRF in Odin?

The EC05 modem is with Odin, the SRF flashes in Clockwork Mod (3 finger salute).
Heading out so won't be able to get back to you until later. You can always do the modem later.

CWM Freeze on reBoot, Odin no Dice

When I tried to switch from ACS EI22 4 to 5 my phone force close looped because of some issue with launcher pro. I went to reflash the rom from CWM and ever since my phone won't properly load roms from CWM. When the phone has a custom rom it boots right to CWM when I power them up only to freeze again when I try to boot the rom from recovery.
I have Odined to stock EC05, and one click flashed CWM. I have flashed pre-rooted EC05 roms. I Odined to EI22 & EC05 modem Tar and went on to install ACS recovery over CWM.
I have Odined multiple times on multiple stock roms and custom roms. The problem persists. Once I'm in recovery (I've tried 3 versions) and I click "reboot" the phone locks with a black screen with the home buttons on or an image of the clockwork logo (depending on which version I'm trying).
The strange thing is, all of the stock roms work just fine and I was able to install EI22 from OTA with no problems. But who wants that icky CIQ? or Sprint nascar/football/bloatware? Yuck!
I've had some limited success with simple pre-rooted deodex etc roms I flash from Odin, but sometimes recovery loads when I power up the phone. And sprint keeps wanting to force the update on me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I can think of and have searched, to no avail, for a solution.
Does anyone think this is a hardware issue? One of the kernels I tried on ACS 5 was a beta.
If so, how should I go about getting it fixed since it is under warranty. I do have accidental damage coverage.
Most likely not hardware related. I say that because you said you can run stock just fine.
I would try the new CWM5 just released and see if the problem is still there.

That's what I thought and why I continued to Odin and one-click root different types of CWM and ACS recovery.
I'm going to see if the repair store nearby can run a diagnostic. Otherwise I'm going to stay away from any modifications that require me to use CWM for anything since I was able to Odin a custom rom (but it was EC05).
Hopefully Samsung will release the EI22 modem tar and someone will release a pre-rooted version that I can Odin.
I tried odin flashing different recoveries yesterday. Odin gave them a pass but they wouldn't boot from the 3 finger salute (like they didn't install).
I've never tried to install CWM this way so I'm not sure if you need to be rooted before hand or you need a specific kernel.

So it goes back into stock recovery with 3 finger? Easiest fix is Odin in a prerooted EC05 ROM tar like EC05plus then flash a Gingerbread ROM then flash the modem delta.

Yes it goes into stock recovery. Unfortunately flashing in CWM has been the problem that lead me to flashing CWM through Odin. For more detail see the original post. Whenever I try to flash something through CWM the recovery has problems and it fails to load the rom that is installed.
I'm trying as many alternatives to pinpoint the problem. I'm going to try switching SD cards and see if the problem resulted from some kind of data corruption there. Should have an update on that sometime tonight.
If I can't figure out and fix the problem I'll be at the mercy of sprint or if I want root I'll have to wait for a pre-rooted EI22 rom complete with modem tarball so I can odin that.
I saw the OP but didn't see where you Odin'd a prerooted EC05 ROM like EC05plus. Then flash a GB ROM right after. Just 2 steps. Then if you want the modem one more step to flash the delta. It's worth a shot?

I can't flash from CWM no matter how CWM gets on my phone. I tried exactly what you said. My original post says I Odined multiple stock and custom roms. I didn't get around to CWM flashing on a different card tonight, finals got me busy busy.
Enjoy your turkey day!

Thanks, you too.
So if Odining the EC05Plus ROM didn't get you a working 3 finger salute CWM, then maybe you should try ROM Manager and downloading CWM 5.X.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
It must be a hardware problem. I can odin a rom with CWM and it will boot fine. However if I ever try to open CWM the rom will never load again as the phone boots to recovery and get's stuck there.
I confirmed this by Odin flashing and then going into clockwork and not even flashing anything and it got stuck. Flashing in CWM will actually install things as I can change CWM within CWM but I still get stuck when trying to load the rom.
So the only way for me to enjoy a rooted phone is to refrain from CWM recovery.
I went back to a EH17 odined pre-rooted rom. When EI22 gets a modem tar hopefully someone will make a pre-rooted, deodexed, zipaligned odin tar (and if I'm lucky, CiQ will be removed).
Otherwise I'd like to get a replacement but explaining the problem to sprint is kind of a catch 22 since the issue only appears when I load a custom recovery.
How about flashing CWM 5.027 and downloading ROM Manager and installing 5.027 through that as well. Rom Manager actually downloads the CWM 5 and keeps it packed on your sd card and installs it everytime you use it. It allows ROM Manager to be able to update the CWM whenever a new version comes out.

Need tips on flashing EL29 or EL26 Kernel from GB27

I need some tips on flashing EL26 or EL29 recovery kernals from GB27 rom.
When flashed (odin, mobile odin, and zip) my phone gets stuck on the first Samsung E4GT logo. No recovery is added, volume up and power only reboots device to same logo.
Ive done this flash before and never had an issue. I dont know what could be the issue.
Would flashing a stock GB or ICS rom and pretty much starting from scratch be a good idea?
I guess my question is are there issues with flashing from GB27 to EL26/29? Do I need to be on a specific kernal? My only fear is if I flash a stock GB rom I wont have a kernal to flash anything else.
Could there be something wrong with my phone? It really seems to me flashing from my current rom isnt compatable.
Please send me some tips and advice on what roms to flash to get back to an el26 so I can proceed with my goal in all this which is flashing the new SHOstock rom with multi window.
Thank you and I appreciate any help!

It wouldn't hurt starting from scratch. It sounds like your current Rom is having some sort of conflict with the EL26/EL29 CWM kernels. Have you tried flashing a gb27 cwm recovery? That will allow you to flash a new rom. They are stable as dd's now and I use them all the time. Try Garwynn or Agat's gb27, they both come with Agat's custom recovery which has cwm. If that doesn't take, might as well save all your important stuff and give a fresh start a try . Good luck.

I have agats gb27 loaded and can flash from it. I need chris 44g el26 or 29 kernel to flash a specific rom. Rom does not load correctly in agats. Many people had issues and per instructions, user 26/29. I will try to start from scratch.

You can use the stock rooted restore gb08 that's what I used to fix that problem. Try following ny guide to get it running perfect after you Odin the stock rooted.

I gave flashing stock GB08 rooted a shot. I then flashed EL29 and EL26. Still does the same thing.
Doesnt boot to CWM.
If I flash a Gingerbread rom, since my EL26/29 isnt working, will I be able to access my current GB27 state I am in now without issue?
My AGAT GB27 is doing me well to retrieve all my current backups.
I dont want to go back to Gingerbread and not have a recovery to use because it uses EL26/29. So I would be screwed, correct?
Thanks!
I am trying to flash EL29 Gingerbread Stock Rom with Root.
This doesnt work as well. Odin freezes on the flash at FactoryFS.img.
Does anyone know why it would freeze on this file?
I've tried multiple tar files, different ports, different cords, two versions of odin.
I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing. What caused the factoryfs.img file to freeze?
What hardware in the phone could cause this issue?
Any help wouldbe appreciated. All I want is EL26/[email protected]#$ WHYYYY!
If you flash el26 or 29 over ICS or JB your phone will not boot past splash screen. I always use el26 with odin from PC, kernel is flashed from pda slot. Reboot the phone and hold then keep holding power +vol up for like 30 seconds and you will boot into el26 recovery.
If you want to switch from from Touchwiz JB to AOSP or older GB/ICS rom you need to flash a ICS 1 click first like FI27 then flash el26 kernel and flash rom. If you are trying to flash the rooted el29 one click rom it should work. Maybe bad cable. I only flash with blackberry microusb cables.
el26 el29
IM stuck in flash screen. I have el26/el29 in tar.md5 I need them in zip format to flash on Odin. I don't have computer access. Stock cwm-El26.tar and El29 direct boot cwm.tar ?? Any way to get them in zip so I can flash in Odin.

You are confused my friend. Odin uses .tar or .tar.md5 files and CWM recovery uses .zip files. And if you're stuck at splash screen after flashing el29 it's because you can't boot el26 or el29 unless you have that build rom on your phone. They are used for recovery only. Pull battery, reinsert, reboot into recovery, and flash the rom of your choice from there!(e4gt only of course)

PIT file for T-Mobile Galaxy s 4

How could I in Odin insert a PIT file to remap my filesystem.
Is there one for the TMO S4 or could I simply use one from the gt9505?

You don't.
Remapping the file system is not a current mod and is not recommended to try. One of the 95xx variants had a remapped PIT file done to add a little bit of usable space. (You can't use that one. It will break your 919 device) The risk was high and the benefit was low. It's just so cheap and easy to buy a 32 or 64 GB external SD card that accomplishes the same thing.
I guess basically what I'm trying to achieve is for my phone to be able to install custom roms again. Randomly one day I was unable to install any, for it would just install a few apks from each CustomRom installation zip.
I've tried reinstalling stock and it doesn't fix my issue that most likely lies in the file system of my phone.

That is weird. Did you try to reflash back to stock using Odin? Or by flashing a nandroid of a stock ROM?
If using Odin to flash a stock image doesn't work I'm not sure a pit file would help. The stock .tar image for Odin contains the proper PIT file. So it's getting the PIT file anyway.
I'll try again..
I've tried coming back from Odin many times but I've noticed Odin is pretty sketchy because honestly most of the time oI get FAIL status near the end of stock installation but I keep going until it passes and I've tried going back from NAND. I was going to see this phone because no one on XDA nor me could figure out this tricky issue. Someone pm'd me claiming he has the same issue and I told him I haven't solved it yet. I think tomorrow I'm going to maybe try stock install and then wipe data factory reset after and then boot and then go back to download mode and install recovery and try install wicked or maybe gpe. Btw the last ROM I was running was Gpe by Kot49h danvd I think the name is
