Hey guys,
so i am having a bit of an issue. I did a search and didnt find anything as far as this problem.
So here is the problem, i am not getting ANY audio or haptic feedback on my epic. I came from the stock eb13 i made a backup of it in CWM before the ext4. I rooted using Dameons on click root EB13 with cwm 2.5. I then flashed Bonsai 3.0. I had some problems with that so i went back to stock DK27 with Odin. I used Odin to then update the kernal and go back to stock EB 13 using noobln's files for going back to stock. I was fine until I flashed the kernal patch for video lag on the camera and tried to install the Hulu patch. I have restored twice now to my backup from before ext4 yet the phone is still rooted.
could the kernal be in conflict with the stock EB13? If it is still the kernal with EXT4?
I am also getting a window that says my internet connection isnt working but it will load everything.
Would doing a full wipe and and Odin back to stock EB13 get rid of this?
everything else is working flawlessly except for sound and haptic feedback.
Can anyone tell me what files I should use in order tio just odin back to eb13? I am afraid I may hav mixed up the pit file and the tar. May be why I am having issues as well?

Small update. Wiped the phone and flashed the viper kernal and rom. Still have the same issue. I must say though I like. The viper teams rom.
Ok so I was looking over some things and it turns out that Odin did not load the PIT file when I tried to go back to EB13. Would this cause this issue?
So I did a full factory reset to stock EB13. No luck, still having the problem. Maybe its a hardware issue then. I unrooted it andd Odined back to stock, and nothing.
This is frustrating.

hello,
i first rooted the epic 4g eclair with one click root and then i rooted it to clockwork 3.0.0.5. after that i installed the new viperrom, but in the rom, the airplane mode keeps turning ON and OFF.
i have tried different roms like moonlight, etc. but the same problem.
is there a way to solve this problem ??
is there a way to go back to rfs from ext4 ??
please help
rahul
first, we gotta figure out what the problem is. my guess is you're not on the DK28 modem.
go to settings > about phone and post what it says for Baseband version. The last 4 letters should be DK28. if its not, you'll have to check development for posts on how to get the DK28 modem, i think you can flash it by itself in ODIN or there might even be an update.zip for just the modem now, not sure.
once you do that, i'd reflash the ROM, then see where you're at. if you already have the DK28 modem, you might want to either re-ODIN the whole DK28 rel.tar or maybe even go back to DI18, your call.
thanks. i finally managed to flash back to DI18 using odin. that was a relif. thans again
You probably just needed to do a fresh flash before you flashed froyo did you odin the modem and pit file? That's not airplane mode flashing on and off it was just your phone not able to get a signal from the tower proper.

I tried to post this on the actual thread about this Update, but I was not allowed because I had not posted 10 times previously.
Anyway, I am new to rooting Android phones….new to android phones for that matter. I have had the Samsung Epic 4G for about a month. I have been looking into rooting the phone, finally decided to go for it. I downloaded the filre for Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13 from this site. After doing one run of that bat file and getting stuck on the startup screen, I realized I needed to find a compatible ROM and Kernel and install them before rebooting.
I reset the phone to default settings, using the info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909384 and then I used the kernel
from the original update thread, Default Stock Dual FS kernel For EB13, and the Bonzai ROM from their website. This time, the install worked properly, and when my phone rebooted, the firmware is listed as Bonsai/Kernel_v4.01. So I wanted to backup and uninstall some Samsung Bloatware from the phone,and as I understand it, the Titanium Backup is the best way to do it. Well, I installed it, and it has consistently said the program could not acquire root status. I clicked on the “problems” icon, got busybox and upgraded superuse, and that did not effect anything. I even reflashed the Bonzai Rom, but the end result is the same, I am still getting that same message. Since I have replaced my Rom and have installed Superuser, I have to assume I have rooted the phone, so what could be the problem here? The app SetCPU also says I do not have Root Access. So I am not sure what to do at this point.
Sounds like a failed root:
Root again with the oneclick 3.0.0.6, power off, 3 finger boot and ext4 will be put on automatically. After ext4 installs install bonsai before rebooting.

Is there a difference between onclick 3.0.0.6 and the one in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612,which is labelled 3.0.0.5/6? Because, if not, that is pretty much what I have done already.
Same one.
I would odin to eb13, odin ec05 modem, root, boot to recovery and allow ext4, flash bonsai 4.0.1. Can't remember if 4.0.1 adds ec05 modem during flash, but if it does you can skip the ec05 odin (sorrry, but my mind has been on 4.1.0 for the last week).
The odin process will get rid of the kernel you currently have. Flashing the rom doesn't do anything to the kernel. The odin process will give you a nice clean slate to workv with. If your phone wants to do an ec05 OTA update during this process please tell it later and don't do it.

This exact thing happened to me after trying everything from the EC05 OTA. Just run the bat file again on the phone...nothing else and it will work fine.
So lemme say first i can over from an HTC and love the way this baby works. i was very active in my HTC and flashed and did a lot of stuff to it, also doing a lot to my brother and sisters phones to. Evo and Captivate. my brothers evo like my HTC wasnt that bad at flashing could just download and go. I had so many problems with getting odin or one click to read my phone i was so upset cause i couldnt get to flashing. WELL now my comp is a champ and working like a charm, my phone on the other hand not so well. I once got SRF 1.0.1 to flash but it was real buggy on me, force closes, browser was screwy. Also Odin flashed SwissCheese but was slow. The reason i Odin flashed it is because no matter what rom i try and flash i get stuck on the samsung screen. even SFR 1.0.1 does it too. I have looked all over for the answer and nothing. I know what i am doing when it comes to these androids and am very good at figuring out the solution, but i am stuck. I am 100% sure i have done everything step by step per the devoloper.... just saying, anyone have a clue? think it could be my phone?
Odin back to stock. I have a video made, click the link in my signature.

2 things, first coming from stock EC05 is screwy to begin with and it is best to do all the wipes. It would be much better to either Odin in an EC05 or EB13 prerooted. Then when you pick a ROM is it EXT4 or RFS? If you pick an EXT4 ROM make sure you have converted to EXT4 somehow first unless the ROM says it will convert it for you. If you try to flash an EXT4 ROM on an RFS system without converting, you will get stuck at the SAMSUNG screen.
Okay well here's a little update... I have tried using 3.0.2.5 many times in the past with the same results. Stuck at samsung screen!! I have made sure to use the flashable rfstoext4 before flashing a ext4 rom, even tho SRF converts for you. I feel like a baffled idiot on this because I have done this so many times on other phones and am very quick to figure out a solution if needed... BUT I AM LOOOOOST I did see a few good suggestions I am gonna try... I am gonna odin a prerooted rom and see.
For ****s and giggles I tried to flash the ONE rom that did work for me SRF 1.0.1 and it worked! But very buggy still. Even a fresh dwnload of he rom will not work as it didn't before. Just the one file I downloaded before as its been the only one that worked. Also I tried to flash SRF 1.2 on top of it and still stuck at the samsung screen.
I am confused as to what is going on. I have tried many different things and to no prevail. I even started to think maybe it is the stock rom I am odin'in to but even flashing over the SRF I had the same outcome....
You think it could possibly be a phone problem?!?!

I flashed an EXT4 rom without converting. What can I do to fix this?

Did you try to restore a nand backup of your last working configuration? You can install an RFS ROM like RFSplus or one of the Gingerbread leaks. Pull your sd card out and put it into a computer to download and copy an RFS ROM onto it and put it back into the phone and flash.
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.
I'm planning a major upgrade of my phone later this month and want to have as much information spelled out in advance as possible.
I think I will first upgrade my CWM to 5. Am I correct in understanding that CWM5 is out of beta and stable? I vaguely remember reading that its keys do not work perfectly with Froyo kernels, so I haven't moved until I do everything at once.
I'm leaning toward SleeperROM. It seems updated often and actively. On the other hand, reports that there may be wifi issues give me pause.
Whatever Rom I go to, I'll go back to RFS, because while I'm on Ext4 now, avoiding force closes is more important to me than operating speed.
My question is: Can I upgrade entirely with CWM, or will I need Odin? Has a way been developed yet to get my modem to EI22 that does not need Odin, or is it still recommended that I first Odin to a full stock EI22 Gingerbread, re-root and install CWM and my new rom from there?
If you had to do the upgrade process now, what steps would you take?
There is no modem.bin for the EI22 modem so no Odin. You have to flash the modem delta from CWM with EC05 modem on your phone. Then just flash a GB ROM and enjoy. Backup with nandroid and Titanium Backup. Not all data is compatible so some things may have to be set up again. I had to redo my email accounts in stock email client.

Now I'm not NEARLY as experienced as Kenny, but what I did seemed to have worked out alright. I didn't use Odin (have a Mac) and used CWM (purple at the time) for it all.
I came from Froyo and did a CWM update to GB. That put me on EI22 with EC05 modem.
Updated to CWM 5. I did this as I was researching and getting ready to goto a custom ROM.
I then CWM'd to Legendary ROM (so choose your ROM here, I guess).
Then through a lot of trial and error with all the different modems, used the CWM flash able ECO5 to EI22 modem updater. This put me on Legendary Rom with EI22 modem. EI22 actually works fantastically for me.
I haven't had any problems since (minus bugs and whatnots from the Samurai Kernel and Legendary updates).
It sounds like you are pretty savvy. I don't think you will have any problems getting what you need done without Odin.

It's also all personal preference. I Odined back to dg27 and got the ota package, Odined ACS Recovery, then flashed nubernel and then stock deodex EI22. Took an hour or so to reinstall apps and restore what data I wanted to keep. I like a super clean install, if it even matters much.
