[Q] epic 4g touch update - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

quick question..
im currently running the starburst rom and i got a ota update to fix the signal loss, first tried to update and it failed.. did some searching online and read that i had to go back to stock rom to do it.. went ahead and did it.. did the update..rerooted my phone, reflashed the starburst rom, couple of hours later got another ota update.. is it cause i reflashed the rom that it wiped the update out or is the update in like 2 or 3 stages??
android version
2.3.4
baseband version
s:d710.10 s.eko2
kernel version
2.6.35.8-lostkernelexp+
build version
starburst 11.13.11 v1.9.8r
if any of that info help...
thanx and i appreciate all help and appreciate all your guys hardwork

Yes you wiped out the update. The update is from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6. IE sprints system is seeing your model with the outdated firmware. So it is pushing out the update again.
Starburst is based on 2.3.4 they are working to resolve the update issue as we speak. So for now flash something like Calkin's rom wich I highly recommend or anything ACS. they are a talented bunch. I dig they ****. Or be patient and get some MIUI or CM7 or 9.

thanx for the info man... i was losing my mind for awhile...i didnt know cm7 could work for my phone..imma check it out..had it for my evo..worked great

I highly recommend viper rom! I get great battery and speed from the latest release. And I have no force closes at all.

The OP said he did not want to use odin and upgrade the modem.
But, I do agree that the latest viper rom is great. Using odin to upgrade the modem is not difficult and the epic is pretty much impossible to brick so I would encourage you to try upgrading your modem to dk28 and going with viper or bonsai. Both are great roms. If you don't like them it is easy to use odin to return to stock.

Yeah i agree, however viper has to much going on like the lock and unlock sounds get annoying afther a while but its still a good rom. Bonsai is probably the best rom I think super smooth and no f/c.

Syndicate rom is exactly what your looking for. No odin runs on Di18.

Oh my bad, I thought the DI18 viper rom was still available but I just checked and it isn't. So then my next opinion is Syndicate or Epic Experience.
If you're looking for a DI18 ROM, OP, just click the link in my signature.
If you want 2.1: Go with ACS rom
If you want 2.2: Go with midNIGHT, bonsai, or viper [in that order]
I was on midNIGHT for the longest and it is fast, stable, everything works! I'm currently on viper. I def like the rom. I find that the battery seems to drain faster than midNIGHT even though i'm getting about 9hrs on viper. Navigation is not working atm, but i'm sure it'll be fixed by the weekend.
That said, being a former hero owner, it may seem confusing and hard at first but its really not difficult at all... just read up and drop a reply, someone will be willing to help!
Hey man I came from a Hero and I felt really intimidated too. I actually thought I bricked my Epic first and then had to learn how to use ODIN. Its actually pretty sweet because as long as you can boot into "download mode" on your phone (the number 1 and power) you can restore back to stock via ODIN. I would suggest you take the time read up on how to use ODIN and flash the dk28 build with the modem. Just be aware that it can mess with GPS.
I finally have a ROM I like "Truley Epic Rebirth" its the only DK28 Rom that has a modified kernel that will give you full adb permissions. Every other Rom only gives you root permission via shell with is annoying if you do any font customizations or custom boot-screens etc...
Bonsai ROM definitely! 4G Sprint hotspot app works, nav, gps, no force closes. I'm running it with ADW on top and it's quite stable.

do as he says! if you don't want to upgrade to dk28 modem then syndicate ROM is def the way to go.. smoothest dkI18 rom out.
Flashing zips is easy with the epic. I say try em all and decide for yourself which one you like best. Load up your sd card and while watching your favorite tv show flash away until you find one you like. I will tell you this though, all of the 2.2 roms are based on the same kernel until we have an official source so there isn't a whole lot of difference. As far as appearance goes you can theme over any rom. Personally I'm running midnight rom with the emotionless beast theme but I change my rom out from time to time, one thing I don't change is my theme. Love the emo beast!
If you want to go to froyo then def. Bonsai. A new version is getting ready to be released and its fast and very stable.

[Q] Noob flashing help for my Defy

Hey Guys,

Flash baseband after

Iv made a previous thread asking a question, but i just want to get this over and done with
im currently on CM7.2 baseband .56 (Gingerbread) and im wanting to go to Arconium 4.0 ICS, now this is where my question comes into play
in order for me to flash arconium it says i need to flash bb72 i cant be bothered right now upgrading to stock ICS 4.0.4 which i cant do through pcc cause i have a custom rom
can i do this... flash the kernel > flash arconium 4.0 ICS > then flash bb72
but if i do that will i still be on bb56 on arconium ICS and would that lead me to bootloops? this is a question im taking seriously cause if i get bootloops i cannot be f*cked going back to stock
EDIT: can i use bb56 on arconium 4.0 ICS and if so could i just flash bb72 after i have installed arconium?

go away mate, FOUFC
you could edit your old thread..
But yes everything shuold work like you said. Dont forget to flash the libs for the baseband
libs? sorry i havn't started on bb's yet
Every baseband patch need their own libs.. Look at the threads from there you get the baseband there should be the libs too
i really have no idea what u r talking about
You have the baseband file which you have to flash with flash tool.
But there are more files you need. These are called "libs" or libraries
theyre in a flashable zip which you flash through recovery.
Look at this thread. There are the ftf files for the flashtool and for the bb 72 the libs.
The libs for over baseband you can get by another thread.
But you dont have to update the baseband for ics. If everything is working dont flash the neweset.
I have bad wifi issues after i flashed bb72 and cant fix them even after flashing my old bb again

Flashing to ICS from rooted EL29

Hello all:
I'm a noob here so forgive me if I've missed something somewhere else.
I am on a stock EL29 rom and I'm rooted. I haven't done the ICS OTA update, but I would like to try ICS. The OTA notification keeps bugging the **** out of me. So, Here are my questions:
1) How do I flash ICS on a rooted GB EL29? Do I have to unroot first and then do the OTA update? If not, what and where are the correct procedures?
2) When I boot to CWM, it shows a Team Rouge logo and the menus aren't exactly the same as the menus I see in various demo videos. How can I get a "stock" CWM and flash it over the Team Rouge CWM? I downloaded ROM Manager and tried that, but the phone still boots to the Team rouge CWM.
3) Should I just forget flashing ICS altogether and just flash a new ROM/Theme on EL29 instead? If so...what's a great ROM to flash?
4) Any other suggestions y'all might have
I have Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version S.D710.10.S.EL29
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL29-CL852097
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EL29
Hardware Version: D710.010
Thanks in advance....
Steve
Ok so do you want ics rooted? If so you can find a one click in the stickies and if not and you just want the ota you will have to unroot because you can not have a custom recovery and update ota

Yes, I want ICS rooted. But if I do the one click, can I do it over top of a rooted EL29? I've also heard that I have to have a certain CWM to do the flash to ICS. Is that true?
I also want the ability to back the other way.
I'm just really worried about bricking the phone....I've read enough on here to be abundantly cautious....
Just do the one click and then flash agats kernal via computer after(QBking77 has a video on YouTube showing how to do it).

You can flash a direct boot cwm from mobile odin that is safe. Then from there flash whatever ics rom you want. No emmc brick risk.... also that will keep the yellow triangle off if its not there already

If u wanted to go back you could do the mobile odin flash then restore the nandroid.

I would even say give the JB AOSP a run. Battery life is great, has a couple cyamogenmod components, and is really really smooth. Last build today really made this phone a daily driver for me. Flash the same as ICS cyanogemod but make sure to flash jellybean gapps right after the ROM.

Thanks Dante...I was reading about that Rom earlier. From what I've heard, the battery life sucks on the stock ICS, so if this one has great battery life, that definitely would go a long way to recommend this rom.
Thanks again!
CM9 battery life is great. I havnt tried that AOSP JB but I haven't found one that was stable enough for a daily driver... I'll wait a month or two before JB on the e4gt.

[Q] No LTE!!

I keep running into this problem of not being able to connect to 4G after I flash a custom ROM. I flash back to stock and I'm fine. I also tried flashing the modem. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated
first, make sure 4G is suppose to work on the ROM. It's possible it may not.
If it suppose to, you may want to update your PRL and Profile. May be worth effort before you flash the new rom as well.
A
I've had this problem once or twice before. It was simple, but everyone's case is different.
Try going into settings, under wireless and networks click more settings and make sure you have lte along with the other 2 enabled. Could only be on cdma. Who knows, it fixed my problem.
Hope it works!
The ROMs I have tried have been cm10.1 based. I'm sure it is LTE ready but I could be wrong.
The ROM didn't have the option to update my PRL or Profile, is there another method?
The ROM is Avatar 2.13
My modem is MC2
My PRL is 55014
Galaxy note 2 SPH-L900
Yeah I tried rebooting the phone in CDMA/LTE still no luck. Only get LTE when i reflash the Stock ROM (rooted)
I don't know. I haven't tried CM since I've gotten the GN2.
Yeah I haven't flashed CM since I've had the Note either. Wish I could of been more helpful to you. Try pm'ing someone who's made a cm Rom?
There are a lot of nice people on Xda that are really helpful.
I assume you've tried using the search bar at the top?
Yeah I tried a few things I found but nothing worked. Gonna try hash codes next.
Would you recommend a good Custom Rom?

It is all user choice. Try them all, easy to flash. I like the minitab which I am currently running. Jellybomb or slimrom are other choices I would pick from. There are usually twerks and perks of custom roms. Make sure you read the op to the exact t.
Thanks man, im lovin Minitab. Having trouble getting youtube or netflix to work but sofar so good. I downloaded JellyBomb ill try it out tonight.
Its a cm10.1 problem. I'm in the same boat right now.
