Why are you still on a EH06 ROM? All the leaks had random reboot issues. Flash Legendary or ACS EI22 ROMs. Then use the Wireless Hotspot instead.

Def use wireless hotspot instead and update your modem. It should fix your problem.

There is no tar yet. You have to Odin the EC05 modem then flash the EC05toEI22 modem delta. All can be found in the modem thread in the stickies at the top of development. You need to get on an EI22 ROM as well. Random reboots are a problem with all the leaks.

go into the tether settings and disable auto 4g turn on, then use it proper and you should be fine.

The only thing you use Odin for is full .tar files which are usually ROMs and modems. You put on sd card and flash. Also I am guessing your phone was sponged not bricked.
when you had fc on EF02 it was prob just a bad flash....

My GPS stops working after a while. It indicates locked on in the status bar but it never works. I'm on Bonsai B13 with EEO3 modem.
What does this EEO3 GPS fix do? Not sure if I should try this or just flash EFO2 modem.

Neither...the GPS issue is in the leak ROM itself and won't be fixed until source code is available no matter what modem you are on. The best thing to do if your GPS works sometimes is to reboot daily to clean out bad GPS data. I am not sure what the ACS-EE03GPSfix does but doesn't hurt to try it.

wifi not connecting after rooting?

I can search and enter the password but it stops at obtaining IP address. It still connects on my other devices so its not the wifi itself. I just rooted using the latest method with Odin. I tried the unroot with Odin method (which didn't even unroot) just went back to factory kernel (ok?). Also km not sure how to get my old version of Swype back so I can completely 4ever if I wanted to. Any advice would be awesome, thank you I'm advance.
Odin crawrj's odexed or deodexed with Busybox and root....depending if you will be using themes..then Odin bubby's pulled stock kernel or Chris41g's LoSt kernel or his stock with CWM kernel. I had same issue but with 4G and this method fixed it right up
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I'd like to be stock, with a "stable"kernel.
I'm having a similar issue. I rooted for the first time this weekend, and my wifi will no longer connect. It starts scanning for networks, but then just turns off after a few seconds.
I messed up while rooting, so I had to unroot, update to EK02, then rooted it. I'm also running LauncherProPlus, if that helps.
Its been my experience that flashing a different modem version will alter everything from 4G to wifi to your connection strength to the sprint network. There is a good thread in the stickies section explaining how to do this.

Updateing used epic

Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol
Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?
Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone
Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.

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.

I haven't had a reboot since the kernel release before EI22 released. Try Odining back to EC05 and accept all the OTAs.

I haven't had any reboots that I've noticed. Even on EI22 I only got a few lockups or reboots, and it always seemed it happened when I was downloading data and tried to switch networks (usually 3G to WiFi).

My 4G works great too. In Daytona, we had 4G a week after the Epic release. They have expanded the coverage in the area as well. No reboots at all since the source kernel was released.
