[Q] Questions about SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the stupid questions but please bear with me...
First of all i have my epic with an deoxeded eb13/ rfs/ with genocide kernel and i want to put SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0 on my epic.
However i have a few questions:
1) right now i have an epic with clockwork 2.5.1 i think and rooted it with
oneclick 2.5.5, so i dont have ext4... so i was wondering if i could still flash
this rom without much problems
2) i heard that there is a nasty bug that wont let you charge your phone while
it is off with some phones with clockwork 3.0.0.6 (or something like that) and
ext4... and i was wondering if that was the case with this rom?
On a side note... does the can't charge while off bug affect all phones with clockwork 3.0.0.6 and ext4?
Thanks in advance!

You have.to use the one.click root with cwm6 and boot onto it so it can convert you filesystem to ext4. Then you can.flash the syndicate rom. That rom seems to be.the.only one that has the.problem with the phone.locking up when turned off on charge. I'm on bonsai rom and it doesn't do that.

wait so bonsai with ext4 and the new clockwork on eb13 works fine and doesnt have this problem with the battery charging? -thats the only reason why i havent converted to ext4

1. You need to odin to eb13 using the eb13+ext4 odin
2. Yes. You cant charge while the phone is off (you can while it is on or locked)
3. It does effect all roms
Steps for eb13 syndicaterom
1. Download odin and ext4+eb13 and follow those instructions
2. Before booting into clockworkmod (vol down, power and camera), load syndicaterom onto the sd card
3. Boot into cwm, it should do alot of gibberish. When it is done, make sure the text is orange
4. Wipe data/factory reset. Do this three times
5. Wipe cache once
6. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik once
7. Go back and go to install zip from sd, go to choose zip from sd and choose syndicate, choose yes and wait for ot to finish
8. Reboot and have fun!

Okay but I'm still worried about not being able to charge my phone while its off...
Will I still have this problem if I just convert it using the new oneclickroot and continue using stock eb13 deoxded and genocide kernel and I just want to double check... if I use the new bonsai 3.0 with clockwork 3.x and ext4, I won't have the same problem?
Sory for all of the stupid q's, I soft-bricked my phone and don't want to do it again...
Thanks!

Just use bonsai 3.0.0 (maybe it is twilight kernal that causes the charging issues) if you want to charge while it is off.

Thanks I'll try bonzai once I get done with my hw and report back in on my (hopefully) sucess!
In worse case sinenario, I made a nandroid backup so I can revert me back to rfs right?

Nandroid doesnt bring you back. Odin does and maybe if you use the 2.5.5 root it will fix your batter not charging if it doesnt.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Well in that case I'll stay away from the twilight kernel to avoid using odin again... thanks for the heads up!
So, that means that the twilight kernel doesn't agree with ext4 and the new cwm, causing the battery bug...

I would say get one of those chargers off of ebay with two extra batteries for $10, it has worked great for me. No charging in the phone anymore.
I always worried about how hot the phone gets when the battery is charging.

i believe, from what i've read in the Frozen thread, the battery does charge, even tho it doesn't look like it. unless i'm wrong...

So far the only issue I'm having with this ROM is a force close of the stock email app, which I prefer over the gmail app. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Otherwise I am quite happy with this ROM...it's the first ROM that I flashed (second overall) that I could figure out!

So I can still charge my phone on syndicate but I wont be able to tell if it fully charged?
(I can already forsee overheating issues and me messing up my battery due to leaving it charging over night)
Thanks for clarifying the battery problem...

I just noticed another issue with this ROM. Words With Friends doesn't load when you open an ongoing game. The ad tries to load and then you get this:
http://twitpic.com/47c2c4

Yeah you can. But you could also just leave your phone on and charge overnight if that worries you. Place the phone somewhere where it won't heat up easily, like a table or something that won't absorb heat. Only bugs with this ROM noted is the stock email app FCs when opening an unread email or marking an unread email to being "read," some people noted a few issues using dolphin browser and it loading pages, and the battery thing (but that is a CWM 3 issue). Concerning the Words with Friends bug, there was a fixed posted in the ROM thread, just do a search.

Thank you! I found these instructions but I am very, very new to this and would need a step by step explanation as to how to do this.
We do block ads by default - though that shouldn't show up when ads are blocked. If you'd like to test, just rename /etc/hosts to /etc/hosts.bak and reboot.

You're welcome! You would need Root Explorer (or some other similar app) to rename the file. Just navigate to the root of the directory, find the folder called "etc," go there and find "hosts" and rename it to "hosts.bak." To be honest, I haven't done it myself, but I would assume that's all you would have to do lol. I've also heard that if you installed the AdFree app and then uninstall it, that would fix it too. Again, I haven't tried it before.
To be safe, make a nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong. Better safe than sorry

[Q] RA Recovery

Can Someone Customize it to be able to go through folders to flash zips instead of having to drop everything on the root of my sd card it's looks really unorganized and I always forget to put the zip on the root of my sd after wiping everything then trying to flash something. I wouldn't mind donating for that and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that wouldn't mind donating for that being put in there.
The first recovery agent i had, clockwork or whatever, it let me go through folders. I'm not sure why the more recent version doesn't let you.

Yeah and also can anyone enable loop devices in it because I think it is one of the reasons why the dualboot doesnt work.

You would have to go to Amon_RA and talk to him. i believe i heard he was busy for a while. Maybe check with him on updating RA from 1.8.0 to something like 1.8.1. We defiantly need it!

Clockworkmod is for the noobies once first after rooting and using rom manager....unless you have RA, you wont wipe data nor dalvik or even battery stats correctly with clockwork. Clockwork needs a major overhaul. Clockwork and RA are two totally different recoveris. RA's feature is for there to not be so much clutter. so its scans /sdcard just for roms.

right clockwork has a ton of issues. i agree that it needs to be updated....or that someone needs to come along and try to combine both RA recovery style and clockworks style into one recovery....except do it right! (not halfassing it) but still......clockwork is always good for searching those folders. RA is good for wiping and stability and outrageously good for the nand backups!
First, amon recovery has its own thread and this request has been asked many times before.
Second, amon has the ability to mount the sdcard to your pc while in recovery. Honestly if you are doing any kind of flashing on your phone (besides nands) you really should be near a pc the whole time.
Last, if you read the amon thread, amon himself said that writing recoveries is a hobby and not his profession. Make your request be known in his thread and be patient although this request has been made many times like I said even by me. But when you realize how valuable the usb ms toggle option is (along with apps like astro, root explorer, etc) you will eventually get into the habit of triple checking your steps prior to flashing anything.

For the folder issues, I just use ASTRO file manager to move the file I want to flash to the root of my SD. It's not hard, and can be done in a few seconds.
I see that a lot of the "experienced" android users prefer Amon_Ra recovery over Clockwork. I have to say that I personally have used Clockwork with no problems what so ever. Even a chicken**** noob like myself can use ROM manager w/o a problem. I never had a problems backing up my current ROM, restoring it or downloading and installing a totally new ROM.

Make sure you have at least one amonra nand backup squirelled away though. Clockwork doesn't back up the wimax image or rsa keys. Amonra does.

Question about AOSP roms

Every non-Aosp rom I've ever flashed (Acs, bonsai, midnight, simply aosp, viper, et..) have always ended up freezing and forcing me to remove the battery to re-boot, I've followed instructions, re-downloaded the roms etc. CM7 and MIUI, both Aosp, have never had that problem, always flashed right the first time, never had to flash twice. I guess I'm just curious if anyone can explain why aosp roms work fine (minus mms, 4g, and the other aosp bugs) and every rom based off of official releases always seem to end up failing?
Sent from my Samsung-SPH-D700 using XDA App
wrong section man, this is not development (it will be moved soon).
If you are following instructions to the point in ROM guides, I have no idea. Sorry. But more specifics on your problems would help us help you
Its because most of the non aosp roms are backing up and restoring your data. If your coming from a clean flash you have to flash the rom twice before it will boot up properly.
And yes this belongs in the q&a forum

Haha you're not the only one! On DK28 I had to flash twice everytime! And then for a little while on EB13. I don't know what changed though. But I havent had to do it for a longtime. Maybe it's because I never boot into stock before flashing?
It mainly jas to do with us having a crappy recovery.

I experience this to an extent as well.. w/ SRF 1.0.2 it flashes first time and works flawlessly..
What I've found is that all devices aren't created equal. Some work really well others are finicky.
What I've found that works for me is immediately after a flash, I can tell if it's gonna be wonky or work. After the flash, if it 'delays' before popping back up to the recovery menu, it's gonna fail. If the recovery menu pops up right away I'm good.
When it 'fails'.. I'll reboot system.. on the white samsung screen, pull the battery. boot back into recovery, then re-flash. boot system if it doesn't auto boot and you're good.
Not sure why it's like this, but it works for me. MY device doesn't always play nice w/ every version of every ROM and rather than whining in all of the ROM threads about why the rom sucks and I can't use it.. I've figured out a way to use them through troubleshooting and process of elimination using some of the 'fixes' that are posted in the different threads.
all Epics are not created equal. Just gotta figure out what works for yours.
EDIT: now that I think about it, (not that it's a big deal) I'm gonna go find noobnl's thread about checking for bad blocks on the ONEnand... just curious if journaling is trashing my NAND (I don't think it is, but ya never know)
EDIT: Still only 3 bad blocks. Nothing to worry about for me

That's not true. He mentioned Simply which I know for a fact doesn't backup/restore data.
1.) Odin back to EC05
2.) Re-root and Install CWM3
3.) Let it convert you to EXT4
4.) Upgrade to CWM 3.0.2.5
5.) Wipe data.
6.) Go to Advanced/Mounts and hit Format /system
7.) Flash the rom of your choice
8.) If it fails again wipe data x3 and then system x3 for good measure, try try again.
Hope that helps.
Pst make sure to use the proper section next time
Still not sure why this is in development.

[Q] HELP - tried to update, now not rooted, all sorts of other problems

Hello,
I am having some serious issues with my Evo. For several weeks now my Gmail accounts have not been syncing at all, incredibly frustrating, to say the least. I was hoping that the Gingerbread update would take care of this, so I followed all the instructions I could find, downloaded the de-odexed zip update, booted into recovery, wiped davlik, then installed that zip, and it seems to have updated (I'm running 2.3.3 now, that's the updated version, right?). However, not only has that not solved my syncing issue, but now when I went into Titanium Backup, it said that it could not establish root access! Also, when I go into ROM Manager and try to "Manage and Restore Backups," nothing comes up, when I know there are 3 backups on there (I was trying to delete one of them to free up space on my SD card).
Maybe related are the terrible space issues I've been having. It's also for some time now been telling me that I'm running low on space, but I have moved virtually all of the big programs to the SD card and deleted things I do not use, so I really don't understand how it's having such space issues.
Anyway, I really need some help here. I guess the number one most important thing I need to figure out is why I am no longer rooted. Can I just reroot like I did in the first place? But I'm also very bothered by this syncing problem, and the space issue is not far behind.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I'm obviously fairly a novice at this. Thanks much for your quick reply, and thanks in advance for your help.
Superuser is the app that gives you root permission

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.

Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.

so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

No idea but sounds like you need to do a factory reste

None of that will touch your sd card. And you don't need to. The errors are in phone memory.

yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop

Info on my phone:I'm using Samsung Epic 4g that was running clean GB 1.0 (build 18). I have Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.7 installed.
I was messing (foolishly I know see) with the voltages on my phone. So I went to Voltage control and under general tab and set "Min=1000Mhz" and "Max=1300" and set the CPU governor to Performance and then I hit the but to change these settings. when I did this my phone frozze and rebooted and started doing the boot loop on the Samsung screen. I figured it was the some setting for the cpu and searched for a way to reset the voltages from CWM. My search lead me to this this post I thus I searched on the genocide thread and attempted to use the tool there to reset the values from CWM to no avail. So I just gave up and tried to re flash my Clean DB(I wiped data factory reset, delvaic and cache partitions before installing) and still I get the boot loop.
No backup to restore? There is a file Voltage Control makes if you allow it called vcremoveboot-CWM.zip. Did you flash that? If that doesn't work try a Factory Data Reset.
Not to scare you but you mighta blew cpu ^^ jk but yeah use the removeboot from voltage control I hope you have one its a life saver if not then odin back to stock ec05 and reroot.

If you don't have the file to remove VC boot settings just pm me. I'll send it to you and if you have a card reader on your pc just put it at the root of sd and flash it through cwm.

Yea unfortunately no backups. I'm still kind of new to rooting droids (only my second ROM ever) so i don't even know how i would go about doing that. I did flash a Voltage control recovery that was listed on the Genocide EC05 Kernel 2.0 forum post, but other than that and a completely new flash of Clean DB I haven't flashed anything.

Thank you I definitely would like that. Unfortunately I tried a completely clean install (I wiped data factory reset, delvaic and cache partitions before installing) and still have the same loop issues.
Do you know how to odin back to stock ec05? If not I can give you a link to a video tutorial. This might help you. Just make sure you don't update to ei22 or you'll have a hell of a time trying to root it. Not bad but for a new guy its very confusing but I can walk you through that if you need it. Pm me if you need a walkthrough I can give my number and ill text you thru it ^^

/facepalm I should have known that Qbking would have a video don't know why I didn't look. I Used Odin along with the video and now i'm out of the woods and safe back in EC05. I really appreciate the time, effort and quick response from you guys.
Good. Now go into CWM and do a backup. Download Titanium backup and use that as well so you are prepared next time. Glad you got it worked out. Run a backup before you flash anything.
