[Q] CM9 Signal Problem

Sorry everyone for all these CM9 questions, but Recently I just flashed over to AOKP from CM9. On AOKP no matter where I went there was no signal! So I flashed back to CM9 and still everywhere I went there was no signal at all! I cannot make any calls nor sms....... (I also don't have 3g). Has anyone else ever have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix this?

[polite] You really should research a bit. Everyone here is willing to help those in need, but not spoon feed. [/polite]
Check out the development forum and look for the modem thread. If you click on the top sticky, look for it there.
Next scroll to the FC09 name. It will link you to the ACS forum. Again scroll down to FC09, download the file and you will have a Youtube video to take you step-by-step.
If you have follow up questions, go ahead and post here.

You ppl should read a ton about the developement of android before you go root and flash your phone

Ok, so I odined two modems( and tested them out):EL30 and FB15. I'm currently on FB15 and there still is no signal no matter where I am! Can someone please help me?
- I think I might just have to Odin back to stock and then root and then flash CM9.

If Odining the modem didn't help then you are correct. Odin to stock and check it then move forward from there.

Should I flash ICS?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post at but I'm dying to know. I've been reading alot of forums saying that flashing ICS can possibly brick you to the point of no return. And there are some people who seem to flash no problem. I've used the brick bug app to check my chip version and I have the "0x19" which is, from what I've read, the most likely to brick with ICS. Im new to the E4GT (coming from the Droid X) and I really want ICS but I'm petrified of the EMMC lockup issue. Is there any flashing method that is at least 99% guaranteed that I won't brick my device?
Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I've flashed every single ics leak out there and have basically no idea what I'm doing. No brick yet!

Flash the el26 kernel with cwm and you should be OK to flash any ICS rom . Just be sure to carefully read the instructions for the from you are flashing. Cm9 and aokp I think you have to flash the Google apps after the ROM. Most of the other ones include them. That's one thing about the epic touch we have plenty of great devs that give us plenty to choose from.

if you want but there's no need.

Read! Read, and re-read everything then ask questions!! You should watch some qbking77 video on how to flash the proper way!! Good luck don't brick & if you do brick well its YOUR FAULT FOR NOT READING! Don't mean to sound harsh but there's already waaaay to many "should I flash ics" if your asking that then I would suggest not to flash it! Cuz obviously you most have not read the directions properly. But if you need help or questions your in the right community.

Reading directions is not a problem for me. I've been flashing ROMs on my Droid X for almost 2 years. Trust me, I know the value of instructions lol. I was just curious because, from what people have been saying, the EMMC lockup is pretty random & they're aren't 100% sure what factors cause the lockup to happen. But I will take your advice and continue to read.

I flashed an ICS leak FD24 no problem on my E4GT a couple weeks ago. I'm debating whether or not it is necessary to roll back (i.e: if now that I've flashed already I'm subject to the brick) I really like some of the ICS updates to my apps as well as some of the features. But from one of the posts it sounds like it can brick AFTER you've flashed.

Its not random! This how you can brick your phone! Let's say ur on ics rom and you want to flash another rom. U boot recovery there's a stock recovery and you factory reset that will cause the SUPER BRICK! That's how I bricked my first phone!!! I bricked my second phone because I used the wrong recovery by accident. I used acs recovery to flash cm9. Super brick. I was supposed to use Stock cwm el26! Stock cwm el26 is wat I use to flash EVERYTHING!!!! But good luck and hope this superbirck won't stop you from enjoying this phone! I really like ParanoidAndroid port

Wrong. If you wanna roll back to let's say gb! And u want to flash Blazer 4.1.
1. Odin or mobile Odin el26
2. Factory rest/wipe
3. Wipe cache & Davlik cache
4. Flash Blazer 4.1 and your done!!
The key is el26 cwm kernel!!!!
Edit: but if your on a ics rom and you want to flash a different ics rom! My personal suggestion is to
1. Odin or mobile Odin stock rooted el29
2. Then after it boots Odin or mobile Odin el26 cwm
3. Wipe/factory rest
4. Wipe cache/davlik cache
5. Flash your new ics rom

Just flash it through Odin. You can't mess it up. Flashing through custom recoveries is where people get bricks. That or flashing something for another phone on odin.
FF02 has basically been confirmed to be the final. Download SFhubs version and use odin. It is basically idiot proof. While your doing it watch QBkings video on how to flash through odin. His videos are a great guide and less scary then trying to read and apply what you think you just read.

I just wanted to know if it was safe to flash from aosp to a touchwiz ROM. I did it and it worked but ive had some minor issues with the ROM . Not sure if its the ROM itself bugging out or if its because of the circumstances i flashed it in
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

As long as you do the Odin back to el26 then wipe all and flash it's not the you flashed. Most of the aosp Roms still have some problems. My biggest one was the aokp and and cm9 roms deleted apps I installed after restart if any part of them is required to be on the the sdcard. They are still working on the bugs since they just got source kernel yesterday I'd give it a couple weeks before we see something with less problems from aosp roms

Its not that anyone may not of wanted to help you but your question could of easily of been answered with a little research. That may have been the reason your responses did not come as fast as you may of hoped but I am glad to see you got it working. What rom are you trying to run that is giving your issues. If you are having major issues just do some wiping but make sure its on of the new from "source" kernel that has been put out by agat in development. Or flash a el26 kernel and wipe away then reflash rom. The choice is yours
Good luck and if you need anything else just pm me

You should start at the ns4g modem thread..... everything you've asked here is answered there... except maybe going back to cllean gb... if on an ns4g modem you won't be able to run any tw roms with it... but you can flash back to an epic modem pretty easily...

And I do believe that JB partitions different than other MTD ROMS and an Odin would be required to go backwards.

Or you could go look in development for the thread labeled NS4G modem patch. It's been in the top 10 for at least 2 weeks.

Seriously... your phone doesn't have google??? And just so you know... I don't even own a computer right now, so that's no excuse... I do all my posting and searching right from the trusty old epic 4g....

I installed the Nexus S 4G modem on CM9.1 using CWM5. It was a two-step process: install actual radio from .zip and then apply a patch to CM9.1 from .zip.
The KL2 radio is attached--I downloaded it from the Nexus S' forums, I think. The patch was available from the Epic Dev forum. The thread with the CM9.1 patch also had patches for other MTD ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842037
When in doubt, restoring a CWM flash backup and using Odin to reinstall a Samsung modem returns you back to square one.
Today is my second day on the NS4G KL2 radio. With EC05/FC09 and CM7, the GPS was flaky and often refused to lock but battery life was stellar: with CM9, GPS just flat didn't work and the radios sucked the battery >5% an hour on idle. With KL2, GPS locks in the same indoor location within 5 seconds and the battery usage looks equivalent to CM7's, which for me was the best of all ROMs for battery life.

Well, things haven't really *changed*. The initial warning to use ODIN was just to be safe. But I ran through all the scenarios this morning to see what would happen and determine an easier solution.

[Q] (Q) Bricked Phone

Could somebody please explain why flashing a ROM (AOKP) on this kernel/recovery would brick my phone? I'm not blaming anyone but myself, but I just really don't want to go through it again. My problem is I thought being on Agats kernel I would be safe. But obviously I was wrong. Yes I know, FAIL. At least I got some good years in before popping my brick cherry. :laugh:

I know it's risky, but I mean not like that. Followed instuctions and flashed per instructions like always. I was flashing AOKP. But would it matter what I was flashing, or where I'm flashing from? I do not know if it had any updates. I guess I had hoped if it was unsafe, or "risky" it would have been in the OP. I'm just trying to figure out what the heck I'm missing here. Thanks, I'll be getting a new one $35 so it's not horrible.

I use the el26 kernel or I use chris41g's twrp kernelor even his cwm kernel. They will overwrite the updater binaries using its own. However some zips will not like it and abort. Its safe as hell though. El26 is the first choice though
