Ever since i went to "Swiss Cheese Samsprint" EE03, my phone won't vibrate. I'm back to ACS now, but also tried urban legend and get nothing. I've odin'd back to EE05 twice now with no luck. I even tried the EC05 that's pre-rooted to see if there was an issue with my EC05 tar.Anything else i can do or is it a hardware issue?
There was one time when it did start to vibrate again when i reflashed "Swiss Cheese" but once i rebooted, it never vibrated again. It's been weeks with no vibrate at all. Nothing else i can think of to get it to work again.

Why do you want your phone to vibrate so badly eh?? Lol, jk...
Seriously though, you mentioned how you used odin to go back to stock EE05, and pre-rooted EC05. Have you used odin to go back to perfectly stock EC05? If it doesn't work after that, I'd take it to the Sprint store and have them look at it. Vibe motors could have gone. Who knows? And since you'll be rocking the stock ROM, you won't have them looking at you funny like if you were to bring in a rooted device.
You can do so many things with the vibrate, just try it, hahaha.
Yea, i did go back to stock EC05 with no luck. But i can't stand stock so i'm back to ACS and tried flashing several kernels to see if that would help. It's odd, over the weekend i lost all ringtones, system notifications, system sounds. Basically, none of the sound worked besides media. I reflashed the twilight zone kernel and that restored the sound.
Since backing up in titatium in EE03, i can restore anything to EC05. Is that common? It could also be because i went from ext4 to rfs back to ext4.
I had a similar problem a while back. Mine would only vibrate for phone calls, but nothing else. My solution is here:

@ the OP - is this development or a question? There is a question mark, so I would guess it goes in q&a
Wish people would start thinking before they post.

just use odin with ec05 stock with everything checked re-partition and reset time. dont forget your pit file and there u go everything will be working again. if that doesnt work then the vibrate feature on your phone is broke. good luck ohh on odin pit in pit and ec05 in pda
Moved to Q&A. Don't post questions in dev
Thanks for the assistance for who provided me some. I've tried to odin back to EC05 but didn't do the pit and didn't leave all the options checked. I only checked the one i always check off.
Sorry for putting in the wrong thread. I thought since it was cause when using a leaked 2.3.3 build that i would be in the dev thread. It's not that i can't read or dont know what i'm doing. I'm stuck as i've tried what i can to get vibrate back working and haven't had any sucess.
I can't believe that there's more responses about the wrong location for the post as their is about my question. I mean, seriously, is it that big of a deal to move it.
Thanks moderator for moving the question to QandA.
You probably have gotten the vibrate motor dislocated from the board. Take a small phillips screwdriver and remove all 7 screws on rear.. Take a credit card and slide it into the crevice behind the back housing, and slide around device, popping the clips. Look for a circular medal piece with red and black wires.. Make sure it's in good physical shape. Or take it to a repair store.

Hello all,
So I am having a little problem with my Epic. For the past couple of days (after coming from cyanogen) my phone has been rebooting on it's own after turning the screen off. At first I was using midNIGHT Rom then I switched over to Mammon's Bonsai.. I did wipe data x3, cache & dalivik. Both ROM's are EXT4 (not sure if that has anything to do with it)
Today I experienced something different, it did a reboot & I looked on the bottom left corner and it said Safe Mode. I have never seen that before. Could this have anything to do with EXT4? Is it really messing up my phone? I was thinking about odin back to stock dk28 but wanted to see what you guys thought it was before I did so. The strange thing is... It has happened on 2 different ROM's, if it was only one of them then I wouldn't have any worries.
Also not sure if this could be the problem but I have the AOSP Lockscreen (Edify version) that pfdmedic has posted on his site. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it either. Is anybody else having these problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm not having any problems but I have seen some posts where some people are having the random reboots but never the safe mode you said. I would Odin a nice clean dk28 and just start over. Somewhere along the lines something got messed up. That would honestly be your best bet. Good luck and keep us update

Thanks! Yeah I figured I would have to odin back (don't like to... but ya know) I'm going to odin now, flash back to same ROM and update you guys.
Once again thanks for the answer!
I've seen safe mode once.
All I did was (3x clear+) reflash the rom.
Are you by chance using the aosp lockscreen. It was causing reboots on bonsai for me.

lets see i can make calls and receive but as soon as the call ends. well when i end it with the end button it vibes once then few seconds later vibes trice and phone apps FC's. Plus it seems to reset the radio as well. i odined to stock ec05 since SRF hates my phone above 1.02. it may be a problem with something I removed?
rooted stock ec05 stock kernel
A bad ODIN? Sounds like your radio specifically. I would reODIN all of EC05 if not at least the modem to see if that fixes it. You're on stock? No custom ROM? What did you remove?

So my Epic is doing someting strange. Whenever I leave my house and any other place where I connect to wifi, my Epic partially crashes. I get the "buzz...buzz, buzz, buzz" which indicates an FC, but my screen goes black and I hear the startup sound and my phone will reset to the home screen within a few seconds. It will continue to do this while I'm out of wifi range, unless I turn off the wifi radio. I can turn the wifi radio back on right after I turn it off and not have a problem. Its like the phone crashes because I move outside wifi coverage. The steps I have taken to solve the issue include:
flashing from EC05 (which I was on) to EF02 - no effect
re-flashing to EC05 - no effect
wiping the phone through CWM and flashing EF02 Plus - no effect
flashing the radio from EC05 to EF02 (no effect), then to EF10 no effect
Currently I am on EF02 stock with the EC05 radio. I've had this Epic for 8 days as my last one I dropped to the ground and that killed it so Sprint gave me this new one, and I do mean NEW ONE because the repair center was out of the refurbished replacements they give for phone repair exchanges. Any advice, tricks, omens, or portents are welcome as I am tired of my Epic crashing.

When you say you flashed to EC05, do you mean you Odin'd in a stock EC05 and ran that for awhile? And you still had this issue? Try this thread to get back to stock and see if you still have the issue:

If anything your phone would just be roaming all the time if it was searching for that and not finding it. I know nothing about tower boosters or how they work sorry.

I've had his replacement Epic for 7 days now. The first evening I brought it back from the Sprint store, no problems. When I left the house the next day I had only driven about 2 blocks from my house before I started getting the Forced Close vibrations/crashes & partial restarts. That was with EC05 stock, no modifications. Since then I have flashed EC05 Plus, EF02, and EF02 Plus, trying each version with each of the EC05, EF02, and EF10 modems. Each time I flashed I went into CWM and wiped the cache 3 times, as well as the cache partition and dalvik cache. There were no problems or errors when flashing (at least none that Odin reported) so I can only assume its a new conflict with something the ROM's don't change/update or this new phone's hardware is faulty.
If it did this right out of the box when you brought it home, it is a bad phone.
Muchas garcias. I figured it was probably a bad phone, just needed confirmation. So if I Odin back to EC05 and use the PIT file to repartition, will that eliminate all evidence that I rooted my phone (or at least any that the repair techs could see)?

Wait, did you root and put a custom ROM on your phone? You said the night you got it the issues happened. I was wondering your setup at the time because I have had random issues similar to yours.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
No, this problem started with stock EC05. I rooted and flashed custom ROM (EC05+, EF02) in hopes it would correct the problem. But it has not. The night I recieved this replacement the phone did not act up. It was the next day when I drove away from my house that it started to behave weird. The phone was still on EC05 ROM at that time with no rooting.

Ok, then that does sound like a bad phone. If the phone is doing the multiple vibrate thing, something is wrong. Especially if it does that on stock setup

Yes. You will be good to go. Shouldn't even be a question since you just got it.
I wasnt paying attention when flashing my kernel and accidentally put it in Phone.
So now i have no radio at all... I went back to the stock kernel and to zedo's the right way, and flashed a new ROM but it wont give me my radio back.
Does anyone have or can give me an EB30 radio tar that i can put in Odin?
Thanks in advance.
There should be a link for it in the guide thread in the development forum.

Thank you! Didn't know it was there, Thanks button hit.
I'm in the same boat. My friend flashed the a ROM in Odin meant for the UK version of the Galaxy SII, and bricked his phone. Still starts up but no calls, no 3g/4g, no signal bars, no wifi.
For those who are having the same problem, here is what I discovered, you don't have to use heimdall to flash the modem.bin, just flash it in odin in the PHONE slot. Works perfectly.
The links to the modem.bin are dead.. does anyone have this please? my phones working again but no service thanks

Unfortunately the eg30 modem has not been successfully pulled from a phone.
Here's the eg12.bin.
http://db.tt/p4652Cdf
Many people, including myself have trouble with the EG12 modem. I realize this is your only hope right now, but test something out to make sure your not having the same issues. While phone is in deep sleep, screen off for 2 or 3 minutes, not plugged into PC or charger. Try calling the device from another phone, if the modem is effecting your device it will not ring while in sleep mode, or ring at the very last second before being sent off to voicemail.
I hope all is well for you!

Perhaps this is a issue that is connected with the LOS/Ghost LOS issues. I never experienced this until I read a post claiming the EG12 fixed LOS. I flashed and about 2 days later realized my device stopped ringing while in "sleep mode" We found links to EG30 but after Md5 checks they were the EG12 renamed. The day I found out I was not getting calls while in sleep I took the device to sprint who ordered me a replacement. Later on that night after working with mjcollum I came to the conclusion that EG12 was the cause or a huge contributing factor of my issue. Anyway, replacement has EG30 and I have no more device ringing trouble.

I am very new with flashing a rom. I have flashed mkasick's kernal over the samfirmware release and now Toad's amazing rom. I am experiencing unusual results on both. Out side of reading the threads and watching for updates, is there something else I should be doing? I have checks relevant threads every day for the last week or so. I am beginning to think I may need a new epic. I will reodin this thing again to see if the results improve, but I have the ever discouraging feeling I may need to go back to Froyo. Stock unrooted Froyo for me had reboots and shut downs more than any other rom since but at least I knew when my phone shut down. Any suggestions to help me out would be much appreciated. Thanks!
You did it wrong. The kernel goes after the ROM.

I see my written english is just as terrible late at night as it is during the day. What intended to state was that I have flashed 2 roms in my time with my epic. First the Samfirmware one along with that amazing kernal and more recently I have flashed Toad's rom. I did not mean I flashed a kernal first (though I almost did try by accident the first go).
At this time, I am still having issues. I know this odin, like most, contain everything (as toad stated many times in his thread), but I lack confidence that I didn't miss something obvious. I flashed odin with the pit file as stated and removed the md5 extension before doing so. If any other details would be helpful to know, I would be glad to provide them.
What are the exact issues you are seeing?

Post my second Odin'ing, I have only had a few app issues. For starters the 'My Files' was gone until reboot. Upon a reboot, I had a random android icon in my app drawer that didnt correspond to any particular app and stated it was missing (whatever it was). That is it as of now. On the first odin'd usage, I had freezes where the phone would make the startup sound and even the sprint screen would flash but I could use the screen button to turn the screen on and off during this. I had other random freezes where screen would just look up on the home screen and another where I had full function, but the status bar no longer existed. Last night before I flashed again, I had some screen tearing right below the status bar. I have not been able to reproduce any of the errors, but I suppose my epic may just hate me. Thanks for taking the time to ask.
There are apps that some ROM builders take out for bloat or to make room for superuser and busybox (rooting). These may be Sprint TV, Asphalt, TeleNav and others. Once you figure out which app you are missing we can help you get it back. Some also remove myfiles but I see yours came back. This is a good reason to run Titanium backup before flashing anything. You can restore missing apps with it.
I am running Titanium as we speak. I never realized the difference between that and App Backup & Restore. Night and day there... Thanks again for the help.
