[Q] 4G Not Working - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have An Epic 4G. I am running VIPERrom [SynErgY] EXT4-RFS Dual EB13 5.0 w/Genocide_1.0_EC05_1.4GHzOC_UV_VS7_VC_Kernel. I have followed instuctions to the letter and can not get my 4G to work does anyone have a clue of what to do to resolve this issue.

I did not have a problem when I was running that exact setup. Did you try and restore a backup to confirm its working with previous ROM and the network isn't being serviced or something?

No, I meant wipe data/system, cache, and dalvik 3x. Then re-flash the ROM. Also, did you make a nandroid backup of your last setup to confirm its actually a ROM issue. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone. I use Urban Fury "fully loaded" and Viper SynErgY on the EC05 modem with Genocide 1.1 kernel and Vision Kernel

Yeah JC is right this isn't an issue you would find in the rom its either an issue with the flash or the download. I've gotten where I dl my roms off the phone and flash right away from there. Cuts down the moving parts imo. I've had random things not work before with roms I've tried and it was always caused by a bad dl. Just to ask a clarifying question, are you saying you can't turn on 4g from the notification dropdown or with 4g successfully enabled you have no signal where you normally have signal?

Non-Asop roms always freeze.

I reflash to odin, root with the new one click, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash SRF, after a few hours it will freeze with a black screen and I have to pop the battery to re-boot. I've tried wiping 3 times, turning journaling on, etc. Every non-asop rom eventually freezes on me, however, miui and cm7 never have that problem? Looking for suggestions and and aswser as to why the aosp roms never have the same issue. Any other rom freezes with in 24 hours, cm7 and miui have never froze on me.

Dont wipe before flashing srf...
And are you overclocked?
I wish i knew cause as soong as my phone goes into standby, it wont come back on. i even changed the voltage settings like recomended..its a over clocked kernal but i dont overclock the settings at all
I'm not overclocked, just flashed the genocide kernel to see if that makes any difference. So what steps should I take? What I did was
Odin to stock eb13
Ota update to ec05
New clockwork mod
Wiped data, cache, and dalvik
Flashed SRF

Most new roms backup data and they dont like it when u wipe data before the flash...and cm7 and miui dont do this so maybe thats why your getting freezes.
Simply AOSP dosen't, and I've had the same problem on there. Someone on craigslist needs to just trade an evo for my epic so I can get full cm7 goodness, ha ha

I'm very impatient, ha ha. Right now I'm odining the EC05 stock plus tha's pre-rooted, then Im gonna let it sit for 5, boot recovery, and flash SRF with out wiping, well see how that works. I had my hopes up because it seemed that the new CWM might have fixed my issues, but alas, no.
It sucks, my choices are
Stock, and super slow with everything working
CM7 or MIUI, super fast with out mms, gps or cam (on cm7)
or Everyother rom, fast, but have to pull my battery 5 times a day

I'm talking about true stock. I use your odin tar as a starting point seeing as how its pre-rooted. Honestly have never given it a try as a daily driver, if SRF freezes after flashing and not wiping, I may have to give it a try.
Yours is the EC05 plus pre-rooted with no CIQ right?

Don't worry. This whole thread makes no sense unless the OP means that CM7 is the only ROM that does not freeze.
The Epic has no other AOSP ROM that I am aware of. I guess even the stock ROMs freeze for the OP.

i actually find that sometimes i get FCs if i dont wipe so wiping has nothing at all to do with this
I'm wondering if you are using any cpu control apps? Setcpu? Pimp my cpu? Voltage control?
And/or any ram mamaging apps like auto memory manager?
I would suggest after you get on srf 1.1.1, get setcpu, do a quick auto detect on there, and change settings to conservative 200 min 1000 max, see if that helps, make sure you do NOT have both voltage control and setcpu installed.
Auto memory manager will also interfere with the ram tweaks in srf that's why I included that
Sent from my SPH-D700
@prodigy
CM7 and MIUI are both aosp, neither of those freeze, neither does a stock odin flash, any custom rom freezes.
@dr
I'm not using voltage control or setcpu, but I am using an auto task killer. Could that be the issue? And why is it only on non-aosp roms that I have this problem. Never had a bad flash with miui or cm7, and evey custom rom always freezes after trying everything.

Is this the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch section of the forums?

Just asking cause I flashed the starburst rom and it boot looped my phone. I got into the main screen once but, the task bar kept force closing and it kept boot looping... Any help would be great.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
Yes this is the Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch section.
Did you make a nandroid backup 1st? (If Yes, restore your backup) Did you go into "mounts and storage" and format "/system" before you wiped data/cache/dalvik cache?
Odin another rom.
Search for and download odin v1.85. Then download a .tar file. Where ever you find these items, you'll also find good instructions.
Then try flashing starburst again.

I would suggest 5.0.2.3, or 5.0.2.6 Also...make sure you format cache/dalvik/data/system at least 3X each. If that doesn't work, then try redownloading the ROM. Might've gotten a borked download.

Use this: LoStkernel or this: CWM
But I'm willing to bet that you either didn't format system in the mounts and storage menu or it didn't take when you tried. I would retry StarBurst again first, making sure to Format System Under Mounts and Storage and making sure it succeeds. Then you won't have to worry about any of the other stuff.
Yeah, CWM can be quirky

Clean GB MTD issues

Ive tried 3 times to switch to mtd heres my steps I must be doing something wrong please point it out for me.
Step 1: odin to deodexed/rooted ec05
Step 2: eco5 modem to ei22 converted
step 3: upgrade to newest cwm5
step 4: Wipe data/cache/delvik 3x
step 5: Install MTD Clean rom/ Also tried CM7
Outcome: first seems fine restarts back to cwm5 Im assuming that means its converted to mtd? (should i reflash rom after restart to cwm5?) Then I reboot system and the screen just stays black nothing happens waited forever forceing me to odin again and repeat the steps with no luck over and over again. I have also tried installing clean rom + a different MTD Kernal. Still just a black screen buttons lit up and no sign of life I waited nearly half an hour leaving the phone like this and nothing happened.
Odin is a pain it takes 5 failured to reodin I figured id ask the pros since i want MTD and need to figure this out. Please tell me im missing something obvious and make it a simple solution lol Thanks for your help.
When you flash an MTD ROM, the phone will restart during the flash and should reboot and continue to install. Once that is done it should say install successful in CWM. Is it doing that?
I install in cwm5 it shuts off reboots back to cwm5 and thats it at that point i find myself lost and reboot to system and get black screen. Do my steps look right nothing special i have read all comments and see no issues so i feel pretty slow because i never have these problems and couldnt find a similar one.
If it helps me explain better when i installed CM7 I got as far as the CM7 loading screen and then it froze. So I tried to wipe then install clean MTD to see if it would load either and got black screen right after CM7 logo......Ill try again in a minute I just want someones help first before I try again. Then i will post new info about my issue if it continues and we can figure out what im missing.
When you odin you says it fails? You need a better cable also you converted to mtd but it won't boot so when you go back to stock you need to repartition so have that checked. Also don't go back to stock rooted go back to official stock ec05 not anything but that please. Then once done flash in a custom recovery and flash the ei22 modem conversion and finally wipe data cache and dalvik *once* and flash the mtd rom. Then it will reboot almost half way through and then it should say install complete and it will reboot your system.

Ok im going again to try after reading your post ill edit this reply with my outcome after my attemp Im using my 4g for internet so it will take a few minutes to get back here to respond.
Ok ive tried it all nothing helps reflashed on MTD even still boots back to cw5.
I did however download from the xda app I seen some threads on this. Is it possible thats the reason? I usually download roms from it and they work fine but my 16gb is running low. Im going to try again from a laptop download then transfew to microsd on sd adapter and see. I tried it all how do i check md5?
Also i was trying to flash cm710 so im not sure if that has a issue but ill try not downloading from XDA app because im really tired of starting from scratch with this phone. sm7 i see boot logo and resets to cwm5 Clean MTD i see only black screen and it resets to cwm5.
I had to do a factory data reset right before flashing CM7 otherwise I also got stuck at the circle load thingie.

It was probably some bad downloads. If you want to try CM7 I only was able to get it to flash with a Factory Data reset prior to flashing it. You should grab one of the nightlies from 10 and up with the working 4G toggle.
Well i was dedicated to resolving this after realizing sleeperrom mtd and Marcusant MTD had broken wifi when 4g was enabled. So yeah i resolved the issue by downloading with dolphin browser mini worked like a charm for some reason that browser is the only reliable one for me to download roms. Switched to clean gb 4g wifi hotspot is perfect. Also if anyone knows if hotspot with 4g is broken in cm7 mtd what tether app with 4g tether will work with an epic?

[Q] Lost data after rooting/flashing newest ota (rooted)

Hi guys I'm new to the EVO and trying to help my friend out with his. Some background is it was on stock latest OTA .3. I unlocked bootloader through HTC's tool then downgraded back to 2.2 and used unrevoked forever to regain root/s-off. I then upgraded back to latest OTA rooted/tweaked from Team Notcurnals rom. The radio basically does not work, no 3g at all. In the 2.2 rom it worked fine. So I tried updating to latest radio/hboot/nv/pri etc. Through flashable zip Found on this forum as well. They all flashed fine and updated the radio, but still nothing works. It has the signal bar like its got a signal but no data whatsoever. Lastly I tried flashing Tiamat's kernel, but it would not even boot up with it (Stuck at white HTC screen).
Any help is appreciated, I come from the Incredible so never ran into these problems before.
First off tiamat is an aosp kernel not sense. Assuming you made a backup before you flashed the TN rom,I would suggest going back to that backup or a different rom and see if the dataworks. Are you wiping everything except SD card a couple times for safe measure? I would also suggest using amon ra for recovery.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Thanks for your reply, the data does work in the 2.2 rom I had on it before flashing the TN rom. I did not make a backup of it as I had just used the RUU to get it. so no Root or anything at that point. I can easily get back to it if need be. There is no data or anything that needs to be saved on this phone at the moment.
Is there a flashable zip for amon ra recovery? Right now I have CWM
EDIT: Found Amon RA, am flashing it now.

This is what I use and it has worked flawlessly for me. I use the 3.0.7

Just wipe everything twice except SD card and try reflashing your TN rom. If the data is still borked try a different rom or try downloading it again as it might've been a bad download.

I did not try Myns warm 2.2 yet, but I've tried about 4 other roms so far. I did update the Radio and such, but no profile or PRL (Thats the one within the phone under settings > system updates right?) When I try those it fails every time. It almost seems like a problem with the account with sprint or something at this point, I verified radio is up to date. I'm going to have my friend contact sprint about his account just make sure its still in good working order,
Phone calls dont work anymore either, it says "your account cant be validated" ... Maybe all this is just cause of his account.... I'll look into it now and post an update as soon as i find out.
if it says account cannot be validated, that means theres an issue with the account. either the phone is not on the account or service has been suspended.
Yup account issue, glad I asked if you could make calls lol

New Radio (Firmware Update)

Now that the new update has been leaked we have new firmware with a new radio (.0320). Has anyone seen any differences between this one and .0312, the previous newest radio? Would it be worth it to flash the new firmware if I was running a custom rom (jelly bean paranoid android)?

I tried the .0320 radio on aeroevan's cm10 and it just hung on boot. I then did a restrore to the CWM backup I made before I installed it and my phone booted fine and says it still has the new radio. Wierd... Does CWM recovery not backup and restore the radio?

No, it doesn't, it was probably because of the other firmware stuff. But cwm does not back up the radio

More accurately said...your radio is not affected by flashing roms. Only if you flash something specifically at the radio level.
As for CM10 hanging on boot, it has been a little finicky. I get bootloops, but eventually it brings itself out of the bootloop. If it is truly hanging, try changing the order of flashing...I do rom-->kernel-->gapps. I used to do gapps before kernel, but this seems to bring consistently better results. Don't have any idea why that would be. Also, I think you have to have either the 12 or 13 kernel for CM10 at this point.
The first time u flashed back to cm10 did you forget to flash a kernel? That could cause it not to boot and your backup that worked would have the kernel included where your fresh install wouldn't. This could explain what happened.

New firmware caused bootloop issues for me even after I wiped system, data and cache. I described it a separate bthread in Q
And A. That said, I didn't have good description with the latest radio. Always had the best luck with 622, which is an old gingerbread radio.

no issues with AOKP. I did have a few issues the cwm and i think i just need to reflash recovery. Otherwise, no issues so far.

Running Nit's TSM UKB Evolution 2.0 now with the newly leaked ics firmware with the .0320 radio, mobile data signal is a bit stronger, by as much as 8 to 10 dBm and WiFi isn't dropping out (was seeing random "X" instead of the signal bar before) - haven't run into any FC issues yet. screen transitioned is still a bit laggy sometimes when changing home screen - battery life is on par with other similar roms.

The CM10 roms need a kernel flash following rom install:

Notice the "NOT optional" part.

I didn't reflash the rom. I just did a restore from the backup I made right before I flashed the new radio. I have been running aeroevan's kernel
v.12 with Adreno drivers and cm10 7/30 build for 2 weeks now with no complants.(except for the FFC and video camera.)
If you read this post:

You will see other people you have gotten it to work by clearing the cache after installing the .0320 radio so maybe the restore had the same effect. I didn't see any improvements as far as signal goes so I just reflashed the .0312 radio to avoid any problems. I may feel froggy this weekend and reinstall the .0320 radio this weekend and try the clear cache trick out. If so I will report back with the results.

No I didn't. Didn't really read op, didn't flash this, just saw his post, like I said was gone a while, had never seen rom without kernel, until now. ..

I ended up installing the firmware then doing a full wipe before flashing my last ROM. So basically all I was left with was the new radio. Everything works so far.

I tried just flashing the new radio .320 without the Rom and my aero 8/21 hung at boot. So I loaded the leaked ics Rom and I had the WiFi killing the data bug so I flashed tazz's and macros latest 8/28 build and my service is pretty solid. Ive seen better battery life and less service jumping with this radio. When and if aero updates his cm10 I'm going to try it out and see if things go the same for his Rom. I'm in love with the cm10 builds

After you flash radio on areo's cm10 just wipe cache will boot fine then.
