Recently rooted, ET4G drops service. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey,
I rooted my ET4G last night to install Chainfire3D and everything seemed to go smooth. Now every hour or so my phone will drop service (circle with the line through it) and I have to reboot it to get service back.
I rooted using Odin and the EG30Plus kernel. It installed superuser and CWM and I am still running the stock ROM, just a rooted kernel. I have updated my profile multiple times, no luck there.
Ideas? Reflash the radios? I don't even know where to get them for this phone.
Thanks.

unlucky.
Its called the LOS bug. (Loss of Service).
It happens with custom (non stock) kernels due to samsungs buggy source.
try flashing the kernel back to stock.

Yeah, this should do the trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099
I'm fairly sure you'll keep root if you flash this over your current kernel, but don't quote me on that. If not, you should be able to simply flash the SU.zip in CWM.

Installed the Zedo kernel and all is well again. I used the Lost kernel first and my WiFi stopped working and the phone overheated.

Make sure you get version 1.0.0.8 of the LOSKernel. Versions .6 and .7 had overheating and WiFi issues. I'm running .8 with no issues, aside from the rare LOS.

[Q] LoS on Several ROMS...?

So I have successfully rooted my E4GT and been so for awhile now. When I got into ROM's i started with the Starburst ROM with I can not remember the kernel... Now I am on Culkins V1.1 with LoStKerlelExp+.
Ever since I started with Starburst and still with Culkins ROMs I have had LoS from 1-5 times a day. Complete loss of any data and call ability. I must force a reboot.
Can anyone help me with what causes this? I have read that its the Kernel and I have heard it can be the ROM.
I would really love to fix this issue and continue to try out different ROMs
I trust this is in the proper posting category.
Thank you!

What he said. The stock kernel is usually the only way to avoid los, and even then there are numerous cases (as u probably well know) of totally stock phones getting hit with los. In the last couple of weeks I've run all flavors of roms/kernels out there and while the best kernel for avoiding los for me was/is LoStKerlelExp+, I still get em'. I'm now back to the stock rom/kernel (rooted, of course) and have had zero los since Friday when I went with this latest setup.
Stock pulled kernal. No Los in weeks. Even in low signal areas.

forgive my newbness, but I need some help understanding the difference/utility between the roms (starburst, Calkulin, etc) and the kernels (stock CWM rooted kernel, renegade, etc).
I rooted my phone using odin and flashed Starburst Rom 1.9.8 on it. As I understand it right now, ROMs come with kernels bundled in so when a rom is flashed a kernel is flashed along with it (right now under kernel my phone is reporting 2.6.35.14-rogue-ET-1.1.1+).
I have had some LOS issues and would like to use the Stock cwm root kernel with the Starburst rom. Is that something that would be stable/recommended? Can I just jump in CWM and flash the stock kernel? Or do I need to wipe everything and live with out Starburst if I want the stock kernel? What will I miss using the Stock kernel instead of the customer kernels?
Thanks for the help. Feel free to flame away AFTER you are kind enough to provide a little help.

You can flash any E4GT kernel you like in CWM. Just remember that kernels are also packaged with things. Some with different CWM versions, some with root and SU. None of that should really affect the ROM, but it might confuse you. For example, the latest CWM mixed into some recent kernels, enables the home button for select and the power button for back. If not aware of that ahead of time you might errantly believe you borked something.
Of course, you can also Odin kernel .tars if you prefer.
Also keep in mind that there are possible effects on things like the ability to customize boot animations or their could be reliance on certain kernels for ROM integrated scripts. Best to ask about successful kernels in your ROM thread.
I agree that the stock kernel is the best i was getting LOS and now I am now. I am rooted using the rom only root. Waiting until there is a root that will remove the triangle concept all in one.
i been getting nailed with LoS at least 4 to 8 times a day. i just reboot the phone, its really fast at booting back up. only wait like 20-30 seconds from the point i hit reboot. after reboot i get signal back i am on stock.

Soooooo ICS....safe yet?

Well I've had my replacement phone for a few days now. Been reading and keeping a close eye on all the ICS threads. These are a couple of methods I've seen posted more and more frequently to safely flash ICS.
1)Make a backup
2)Full wipe
3)Flash FB whatever
4)Flash FB whatever modem
Now to get back
5)Go into odin download mode
6)Odin El29 tar
7)Boot CWM
8)CWM restore
This next method I'm not to fond of do to Rom Manager being used.
1 thru 4 same steps.
5)Install Rom Manager
6)Flash CWM for AT&TSGS2
7)CWM restore
So what I'm here to find out is has ANY of you that have used one of these methods had any issues. Primarily getting back from ICS.
Really itching to flash some new ICS awesomeness but trying to play it safe also. Not looking to dish out another 100 dollar deductible.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
ive been using ICS since my replacement... i just refuse to flash CWM.
I use Steady Hawkins versions and havent had a problem. Once he releases a fb21 compatible kernel/recovery ill flash.
Be safe and good luck...
LOL oh no Caspersfi!!! You didn't learn your lesson the first time.
Thanks dadoc and jason I'm doin the best I can to sit back man.

My first attempt at failed badly! But with some praying and Odin, I recovered and flashed a working fb17 over. But I have yet to get a wifi tether to work. That is the only thing that keeps me from using it as my daily.

I haven't bothered with any of the FB stuff; I hate the stock look, and TW in general..
But, I have been on all the CM9 versions so far, and, I gotta say, that aside from occasional LOS, which is easily cured with a program called fresh network,and a so so gps, it pretty much works flawlessly for me...
And, it REALLY looks nice and different!

Here is a video on how to switch for TW to the native ICS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6yZk_szFU7c)
and if you use the de-odex'd rom you can flash this ICS theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506945)
I've been on ICS for a few days now and just went to FB21 today running TNZ's Blend ICS and it runs great. I was a little hesitant to switch too but just remember to nandroid backup, and fully wipe in cwm and your good. Use odin to flash kernels and get back cwm, then use cwm to flash modems, then update profile and prl when done. If you don't like it then just odin back to gb (don't use cwm) and flash a kernel again, then flash whatever rom in cwm that you want.

personally, I've jumped between ICS and stock el29 rooted several times using the second method... I think you should be fine as long as you don't flash touch recovery.

Ive been using these mostly everything works even sprint tv.. Only thing im missing is wifi tether but usb works.

I've flashed around 30 times between FB15, FB17, FB21 and back to EL29 in various combinations while testing the ODIN One-Click packages in my signature and the CWM repacks in the Auto Root thread.
Didn't have any problems, so I think the early flashing issues are avoided as long as fake flashing CWM Touch using update.zip or ROM manager and then subsequently using it to restore or wipe is avoided.
Thanks sfhub, that's good enough for me.
Time to start downloading and flashing some ICS goodness.

OK, Now that we have our own section. How Many REAL IMEI Issues?

With all of the forums merged it was so hard to get a read on the real amount of IMEI Problems by AT&T Users.
So a quick poll / count. Who has lost their IMEI on AT&T.

I lost my IMEI on my first Sgs3, went flash happy (only AT&T ROMs) but still had data and cell. Not sure where I lost it, but I noticed when I was flashing back to rooted stock from early CM10 preview (official) is when I noticed.
So far with my new phone, I've done the same and still have it. I'm now running Aokp jellybean.
I've had no problems as of today but the fear of losing my imei has definitely caused me to not experiment as much as I would like to! I've rooted, installed CWM-Touch, flashed Ktoonsez Kernel, and flashed back to the AT&T Kernel. I'm honestly afraid to try CM as it seems that ALOT of the people who have lost their IMEI had flashed CM10 or CM9. I bought a Galaxy Tab 2 7" a few months back and it's become my tinker toy to flash ROM's and mess with. I don't want to screw up my $500 Galaxy S3, I like it too much!
I voted as flashed a few, but really it is probably closer to many. Only AOSP based ROMs though. CM9, CM10, and AOKP plus updates for each. Also both Faux and Ktoonsez kernels at various times. IMEI still present.
I do make sure that I flash the EXACT same way every time though since it has worked so far. Only thing I have changed now is moving from latest non-touch CWM (installed through ROM Manager) to latest TWRP (through Goo Manager).
If I end up losing my IMEI without adding variables to my flash process, I will start to believe it is a random occurrence. Until then I have to think partial user error coupled with a bad update script or recovery.
I ALWAYS download the file straight to my phone via WiFi.
Reboot into recovery. Wipe>Factory reset.
Flash ROM.
The last couple days since moving to TWRP I have felt more ballsy and did things a bit differently.
For the first time, I also wiped cache and Dalvik before flashing JB AOKP last night
Still no issues.
Today I decided to flash the ktoonsez JB kernel. I usually only download via WiFi at home (just to keep minimal variables in flashes) but today I did it at work via WiFi. Still have IMEI.
I have NEVER done a Format System so not sure if that might break something.
My process has been if it isn't breaking, try to keep the process as consistent as possible. If something does go wrong, I can say what I did differently. I also haven't had any trouble with the ROMs I flashed despite only doing factory reset then flash.
How do I know if I have any issues with this. What do I look for. I found out and mines good.

I know you found out, but when it happens you will know.
In some cases it seems as though you only get Edge at your maximum speed, in others your mobile data completely died. Generally speaking, there was a lot of confusion and some issues with clarity regarding the issue.
It's possible that there are several different (but vaguely related) issues going around, now that we have our own carrier based forums that should actually help clear it up in my opinion.
Hopefully we will all reach a general consensus on the acceptable recovery (my vote is TWRP!) and method of flashing. The only thing I've personally considered is that it might be an issue with the files transferring via MTP (only because I've never used a phone with MTP instead of mass storage).
I don't think people should be THAT afraid to flash though. If your flash counter is at 0, Samsung should do a warranty swap for you. In addition, it seems like 2 in 25 people (read: NOT FLASHES, but people.) seem to get the issue based only off of the very small number of people in this poll so far.
The reason the issue is so feared is because those that do get it will inevitably be far more vocal than those that don't as they try to find a solution and vent their frustration. Most of the people in the major thread about it didn't have the issue, but were afraid they might lose their IMEI.
I flashed the stock rooted tar that doesn't trip your counter, then injected CWM with dd. I've flashed everything with CWM since then, CM10 included (once) and I still have my IMEI. I'm running AOKP JB now.
I'm about to root and cwm what's your guys input on the best ways

Go for nontrip flash root + CWM topic - worked for so many people without issues.
The only way to screw up IMEI with these ROMs is via Odin, I think. Odin is a scary tool without much documentation, and in past used to be buggy.
Once you get CWM - do not use Odin.

Odin is a scary tool indeed. Someone in the IMEI thread said if I was feeling feisty to flash stock nonrooted OTA ROM via Odin straight from JB AOKP. IMEI is still intact after all that I have done. :laugh:
EDIT: Also, anyone who reads this. Try out TWRP. We need more people flashing with TWRP, if an IMEI goes missing while using it we can rule out CWM being the problem as some have suggested.

[Q] Rooting slowing phone down

Hey guys, I need some help,
I have been using CleanGB v1.1.2 for a long time. Recently, I've been having a huge problem. Whenever I use ANY ROM, after about ten to twenty minutes, my phone just becomes *slow* as molasses. It's unnerving. It could be at the bootloader screen... it could be in the ROM itself... but if I'm using ANYthing but the stock ROM with everything unrooted, the phone just goes slow-as-*&#^-as-*&&& and I have to pull the battery out after ten to twenty minutes.
Any ideas?
My ROMs aren't corrupted. I've tested them all and I've tried installing and rooting from different computers with the same problem. I have tried CleanGB v.1.1.2 and People's 2.2.1 and Thunderhawk 5.1. All have the same problem after ten to twenty minutes.
EDIT - I should add that I have rooted (even as of today) other people's Epic 4Gs and none of them have had the same issue as mine, so I know there's something going on with my phone, in particular.
The only thing I can think may be doing this is that I use the CWM flash + the FC09 rom method to root my phone. Maybe I should be rooting it using Odin as I used to do back in the day.
When I go back *from* the root to the unroot, I always re-partition and time reset in Odin with a stock ROM. No problems after that.

Sadie, I root by odining cwm with auto reboot unchecked, pop battery out and in, 3 finger to cwm and flash ROM of choice. It definitely sounds like a strange issue.

What do *you* think is the best way to root using ODIN? I think the problem is that I've been rooting using the easier, flash-to-CWM in Odin and then flash the rooted ROM from CWM. I think I need to do it all from ODIN and repartition at that level.

Is it happening with your new phone as well? I recommended flash the rom of your choice do not install any apps for a day or two. If all is fine install one app a day till you find which app. My guess would be a app that you use that needs root because it doesn't happen on stock. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, but you need to be on a stock ROM to get the OTA, or you can download the whole ROM from sammobile.com. It's a security fix for stagefright. I just wanted to try the new modem and see if it made any difference. I won't be able to test the kernel, since I switch back and forth between a 4.4.4 TW ROM and 5.1 CM ROM.
Appreciate the info, have you notice better signal with the new radio?

Flashed fine and so far no issues. Previous user might have a bad download or different device.
Flashed via TWRP today.. I had no service after reboot but did another restart and it was working.
Don't know if its any better than the previous modem version but will give it a try. thx

You caused the problem when you altered the stock ROM. From your thread about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile/help/recent-tmo-ota-update-bricked-wifes-t3245890), you said "Had her note 2 with stock 4.3, Rooted it last year to titanium backup and uninstall a couple bloatware apps. " This is what caused your problem. It was no longer a stock ROM when you remove apps. I know it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal, but it is, and you found out unfortunately

That's kinda what I was thinking had happened.
I suppose I shouldn't blame the OTA. I just noticed someone else had issues with it too.
so to the people that actually flashed this new modem and kernel, is it working better than previous iterations?
question:
I flashed the C0H4 modem on note 2 (nameless lollipop rom) seems ok...
DO I have to also flash the Kernel ? is there an advantage to flashing the kernel? thx
Hello! Thanks for this! I flashed this over TWRP 2.8.7.1, and wiping my dalvik cache. My phone's originally T889UVALK8 (16gb SGH-T889 t0ltetmo) and the signal drops but after flashing this (C0H4) the signal greatly improved, although I'm having some signal instability since I'm supposed to have full bars because my house is just in line of sight, 2km from the tower. Also I think I'll do a clean install of another custom ROM since I'm using the CM12.1 t0lte nightly, and maybe this affects my signal (I know I'm stupid for doing it but it works).
Welp. After rebooting, the phone lost signal again. I have to do a wipe of dalvik cache to restore my signal. I guess I'll try using another ROM instead.
Upodate: I may be experiencing hardware issues. I have yet to flash back to stock since my phone's signal drops. I can't flash the firmware because it says 'zip signature verification failed.'

BUT, "yours" seems to be a completely different phone! It says Galaxy Note 4, SM-N910C...
What's up with that?!

It's just the ROM I flashed that makes it say that. That ROM is in my signature... DN4
