[Q] Rooted phone attempting OTA constantly

I'm running a rooted epic with Froyo EB13
with Baseband version EC05.
I'm not running a custom kernal
The phone every week will download the OTA update, it obviously wont install, I get the little red triangle after it begins a reboot.
I pull the battery and it reboots into CWM.
How do I get this to update?

Either reinstall all stock apps,and revert your baseband. Or just forget it and odin to ec05

Thanks Chris,
Do you know where I can retrieve the baseband from?

Don't waste your time - just Odin to EC05. OTAs suck anyway.

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.

EI22 Question, Help.

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue as me with EI22... I have had it twice now and eventually the 2g just goes away, wont connect and then i lose the signal completely... I have odined back to EC05 and it works good. I just upgraded to ACS ICS 5.5 from v2 of ACS.. I have noticed that signal seems weaker with EC05, wanted to go back to EI22 but didnt want to encounter the same issue...
anyone else have this? any ideas or help?
Thanks!

try installing a different kernel, than update your "prl" and "profile"... then reboot your phone. see what happens. a really good kernel that i recommend is the shadowkernel

im on samuri_gen 1.2 kernel now.. i thought that was a good one...

well it's suppose to be, but if your having problems with signal and speed, perhaps for kicks or trial and error, you should try a different kernel, just to see what happens. maybe better results, maybe not. only one way to find out.

I'm certain signal has nothing to do with the kernel try flashing other modems on ei22. I that sometimes others phones like other versions of modems ec05 and ei22 and not he only ones. Just the official "stable" but other are still usable. As for speed yes the kernel has to do with. Also try going back to ec05 not updating to ei22 but rooting and flashing a ei22 rom and flash the delta zip modemEc05toEi22.zip

If their phone wasn't rooted yet how did you get clockworkmod on? Odin? You can't flash with stock recovery.

no, their phone is not rooted "yet", but i booted into "stock" recovery and just hit install update zip. oohh, i think i know what happened. i didn't click on the file name and rename it to update.zip... thats why it probably failed. wow, how did i miss that.

You cannot do that. Only Samsung or Sprint signed zips can be done as an update.zip. So it would have to be renamed and ssigned or it will fail. He needs to root first and that is easy on EC05.

It is a delta script bulit to change your modem to the ei22 since there is not an official tar for ei22 modems. And it could help you because I know some people have issues with signal when they update rather than take the path of just flashing an ei22 rom and updating there modem thru the modem.zip and ill upload you it in a minute.

The only way to get the ei22 modem is to either accept the ota update to ei22 gb or to root and flash the ec05toei22.zip on a rooted phone... I think I still have the delta file somewhere I will post here when I find it...

El30 update on ei22 cleangb?

Hello once again! I am currently on the CleanGB rom rooted with cwm, ei22 and I keep getting a popup asking me to upgrade to EL30.... from what I've been reading its a little sketchy...
Anyways, my questions are:
If I were to upgrade, would I have to go back to stock ec05 and upgrade to ei22 then el30, then root and install cwm again? (And what are the pros/cons)
And if I wanted to hide this update message permanently how would I do that?

If you mean the EL30 maintenance update it is some minor fixes and a few touchwiz changes. I would just kill the update notice and wait a few days for CleanGB to be on EL30 unless you like stock.

The biggest thing EL30 does is gets rid of the battery sucking spyware CIQ!

I have cleanGB and am allowing the EL30 update to fail so it will leave me alone.
When it fails, does it just hang with the exclamation point in the triangle with the droid guy? Or does it actually tell me it failed?

He was already on a custom ROM, which means it had K0nane's CIQ removal done to it.

It says it failed for a second then hangs at the exclamation point. just pull the battery and put it back in and reboot.

This happened to my wife's epic this morning. She tried to install the update on her rooted epic (no custom ROM) and it gave her a "failed" notice and froze for about an hour. She didn't know what to do so she took out the battery and all works fine now, no update.
I'm wondering if the failure was just because of the phone being rooted, even though she is not on any custom ROM. Anyone know if this is the case?

Yes the keyboard fix probably kept her from updating... there are some stock el30 roms in development that you can flash for in cwm...

Answer：
1. use R.E., remove the files .zip in the directory /cache
2. scroll down the notification bar and select upgrade message, then select upgrade. the phone will reboot automatic.
3. the phone will stay in the screen with an icon, now remove the battery and put it back.
4. press voldown+camera+poweron, boot in cwm, select "reboot...." and the phone will reboot in android. then the notification will never appear.

I know it's superficial but that's pretty much the only thing I cared about for the EL30 OTA. I've been running CleanGB 1.0.4 MTD as long as it's been available with no complaints.
Love that new callscreen though! The rest of my family just got onto my plan with 3 stock Epics for Christmas, and their new call screens make me jealous. Haha!

Mtd is a parition like bml... except with mtd you (the devs) can choose how big they want /system /data and /cache.... and instead of rfs/ext4 you have the yaffs2 filesystem which is really stable... unlike ext4 if you have to do a battery pull you won't get corrupted data like you do with ext4

[Q] No service after flashing to CleanGB, CWM 5.0.2.7 from 2.1 DI18

I thought this phone was on 2.3, but it was on 2.1 (or 2.2) DI18. I updated CWM to 5.0.2.7 and then flashed CleanGB MTD.
When I reboot, I cannot get service, and airplane mode switches really fast between on and off.
I believe it may be the modem, so I am trying to upgrade the modem from DI18 to EC05 so I can update to EL30. However, the current DI18 to ECO5 flashable zip I have is giving me an error (Status 7).
Aside from from the modem, any other thoughts on how to fix it?
Thanks.

You can just flash a modem through odin . I think the newest official tar is el30 so here it is : EL30 Modem.tar place this in the PDA box in odin make sure nothing but auto-reboot is checked and hit start. Make sure you have a trusty cable and not a stock one. You could also need to update your prl as well as your profile so do that wait a minute or so and reboot the phone. You can do this in the about phone section where it says updates or something similar.. i dont know cuz im on cm9
It could also be a bad download of CleanGb so you can always try redownloading and reflashing that.

I would say coming from Eclair, he might want to stick to official 2.3 Touchwiz for awhile rather than go to AOSP ROMs.

Hm
No matter what you choose to flash, I would of Odin'd the latest Official Tar, and then done a profile update, prl update, etc. THEN Flash the rom/poison of your choice. IF you do end up going to whatever MTD rom, there's an EL30 SD Temp flashable build on Epic CM9 Blog that can let you update your profile on MTD Roms that support kexec, which I think most, if not all, do by now. That way you can update your profile, prl, etc without having to Odin back. Glad to hear that a modem update fixed it!
