How I solved my los issue. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

As soon as I got the phone I rooted and flashed starburst I immediately had los issues it got so bad at work I had to reboot 8 times a day. I was about to go back to stock whenI got the idea to completely reinstall the rom and then flash the modem and......it worked absolutely no more los. I am currently running star burst no issues

When u flash through odin there are pit, pda, phone csc etc. You havent use odin have u?

You can only flash .tar files in PDA, those are your standard set of files (ffs,data,cache,modem,kernel,etc).
You can flash .bin files only under PHONE.

[Q] Rom Manager

ok so i just rooted my et4g and i installed rom manager, im trying to flash the recovery and it has four options to flash.
none in which say et4g
only
samsung at&t GalaxyS2
samsung GalaxyS i9000
samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)
samsung GalaxyS2
which one is my best bet?
if any of them i think the bottom one is but i was worried that one is for the euro s2?
any help would be greatly appreciated
None of the above.
so what do i do??
i want to flash a rom already! haah
Odin a rooted kernel with clockwork mod (chris41g's lost kernel is what I used), and follow the ROM install instructions from the development section.
and lets just say if i used this vs using that method lol

If you are worried about customization issues or just want to remain stock, I would flash this. It is completely stock with cwm. You can than flash a prerooted rom or su.zip and you are rooted and ready to go.

Ok, stupid question... I flashed the ACS version, now how do I get of the yellow triangle again?
I tried to flash this with cmw and my phone won't boot up now. Is anyone else having this problem? I did it twice and the same thing happened, so I just flashed another kernel.

The yellow triangle is triggered when you ODIN flash a kernel (or kernel+CWM in this case) which is not signed by Samsung. The way to get rid of it is to flash a Samsung-signed Kernel or to use a USB jig.
I'm uploading the EL26 ODIN package right now, so if you wait about an hour and a half, you'll be able to flash a full EL26 rooted, then use the Auto Root package to install EL26+CWM, thereby avoiding (or getting rid of) the yellow triangle.
Sorry if this has been asked....I DID look.. But will this kill the 4g tether hack? Im on thr ek02 with the hack.. Will this kill it?

Well if you can't get into cwm try to odin back to stock ec05 then flash a custom recovery in odin and then download a rom and flash it in cwm. I'm sorely confused on what you did please expand
Sent From My Cyan Samurai
i used odin 1.85 and used the lostkernel 1.02.4 something like that when i tried to root my phone.
Okay well I've never heard of it. Anyways just go ahead and flash back to stock ec05 if you don't know how to do this then follow this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Once back on ec05 you have two options update to ei22 or just root ec05 by flashing a recovery not a kernel. Ill provide you a recovery give me a second.
Sent From My Cyan Samurai
Kala..if u have the stock ec05 file on ur pc..odin back to eco5, and then let the phone do the ota update to ei22. From that point u can go ahead and the rooting process. Make sure u are not using the data cable that came with the phone.

[Q] Epic touch 4g on boost mobile

I have a epic touch on boost mobile on FC 14 MIJJz BLEND ICS v2.3. my question is what would happen if i flash the new fc18 modem will any of my settings break?
thanks in advance
i have a epic 4gt on boostmobile with blazer rom 4.0 but every time i flash any ics rom my 3g gets messed up i tried everything to get it to work i used qpst to reload my settings but that doesn't fix anything...do you mind telling me they way you flash your rom or is it just the regular way from cwm or one click... Can you tell me your settings on qpst so that i can compare them to mine

is that answer for me?
The answer is probably for me.. . Yea i did the apn settings but it didn't help its like there's something in the rom that's stoping the data from being received cause it shows the 3g but when i open up applanet it connects with no problems so i don't know what to do....... Yes i flashed every modem out there but it doesn't help im probably going to reflash my phone to boost again to see if that helps
Flashing a modem/kernel/rom through cwm or odin should not touch your meid or ha/aaa hex keys needed for 3g data.
That's the thing it doesn't all my settings are the same in qpst after i flash but it just doesn't connect to the Internet but like i said when I open applanet it connects with no problems so im thinking that its some setting in the browser or some where else that doesn't let the browser connect

His problem comes from any ICS rom for some reason, but since you're running fine on FC14 now, any update should be fine, especially since the modem itself changes nothing but the baseband and is compatible with any rom.
Right my 3g works fine with any rom just not ics roms
