I upgraded my wife's EPIC to the new CWM purple 3.1.0.1 and now the recovery is stock. I couldn't find anyone else who upgraded having this issue. Anyone have a clue as to how it happened?
I redid the upgrade via the standalone ODIN file and still didn't take, I'm assuming because cwm was already gone.
The phone is still working as it should with the same ROM. I also see that after I did the ODIN file that the phone has an official software upgrade for the EF02 radio from the EF10 radio that is currently on there. Wierd??
Nevermind... I'm an idiot. Switching between a gazillion devices, I forgot you have to include the camera button when going into recovery. Lol!

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.

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.
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.
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.
Backstory - I have been rooting and flashing custom roms for the last 5 years starting with my 1st HTC Evo. So I have a lot of experience.
But this is wearing me out. So I picked up at Note 4 this past Friday. I only got around to rooting it tonight (Hawaii time). (Which is also weird because all of my phones were rooted as soon as I got home. Note 3 rooted only 20 minutes after I left Sprint last year.) Any ways, I have the NK2 build. I rooted using the Chain Fire method and I flashed TWRP 2.8.3. Did a full wipe and tried to flash Bonsai the deodex version. TWRP kept rebooting every time I tried to flash the rom.
Does anybody have any ideas on what to do? I haven't tried flashing TWRP 2.8.1 yet though.
I wasn't even aware TWRP updated to to 2.8.3.0 but do see it now. I'm using openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltespr.img downloaded from flashify.
BTW, I don't see a Bonsai NK2 ROM. Try a NK2 ROM. I'm running rooted stock NK2 so don't have a suggestion in regards to custom NK2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-nie-stockish-knox-root-sprint-stock-t2919346
Its wasnt labeled Bonsai. It is a NK2 friendly rom. Meh. I guess i still have to look around.
OK that's basically stock NK2 deodexed; didn't mean to steer you away from that. Bad download? Try again.
The weird thing is, i downloaded thru chrome on my laptop and i got a message after it downloaded saying it was a file that is not normally downloaded and asked if i wanted to discard it. Sigh. I hope i can get this on my phone. Thanks for the help
Have Wi-Fi connection available to your phone? Download to phone.
smh. I just noticed that I was trying to flash it off of my sd card. ARGH!!! Thanks for the help samep.
