I am running unnamed rom with steady hawkins stock pulled el29 kernel. I went through and changed all the "el13" references in build.prop to "el29" but that didn't work...any advice?

There is an answer to this in the UnNamed thread, have you tried it?
I just wish I got the notification...I've been waiting for it on my stock Epic 4G Touch...wish I could just push the update instead of waiting for Sprint to push it. Used to work like that on my HTC device...but Samsung phones do it other ways.

Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like the update makes our phones able to print money or anything like that. It'll come, and when it does you will wonder why you made such a big deal about it.
Meh...Im just inpatient...I actually dont mind the static wallpaper...tons of people are *****ing about it.

your talking to a guy who says "no way not now or ever will i root my phone".
that means no custom roms, no themes, no taskbar mods, no nothing.
with out a custom rom, this phone barely even runs live wallpapers.
i think sprint id will be a thrill for him...
2 yes, 2 no. I should add, that it runs just fine on stock rom. I've been on xda long enough to learn tricks to keep it nice. I don't even use live wallpapers, except to make my iphone friends jealous. Anyways, thanks for the input.

For anyone running a modded ROM, Sprint ID is extra trash you don't need as you can get the same thing, and far better done, with Themes and such.
For a stock build, it is not that bad, as long as you pick the clean ID
The other options are just bloatware... rofl...
The only people I have found that like it on sports fanatics and for the ESPN theme. Sprint ID is no more than a stock theme changer which is bloated with running services. For those that want Sprint supported themes...use it. I won't because I can handle my own wallpapers and ringtones and which apps I dl and use.

More sprint garbage adding on the epic, thanks god for custom roms!!!
Not sure if this was already posted, at least I didn't see it. Anyway, if it was, my apologies. Just wanted to pass along.
According to the Sprint website
12/15 update - for those devices where the update has started but did not complete successfully, there will be a fix available soon. The target is next week, but nothing 'official yet'. I don't have information on whether it will be a new OTA push or available only via the Service Centers, but will post an update as soon as I learn more.
It seems like there were more than a few issues on the whole EG30/31 thing so they need to do it again, lol. I'm just wondering if now they will take the opportunity to just combine it with the EL13 update.

I was wondering the same. Maybe a OTA that has CIQ stripped out. Sprint is obviously trying to save face right now. They are trying to keep us at bay. Look what happened once we started bombing everyone with CIQ info.

I absolutely LOVE everything about this phone EXCEPT the LOS issues!!
I've only had it for 5 days now and experienced 3 LOS!
Since I'm still within 14 days, should I return it? thinking of getting the Photon instead.
From personal experience I'd say hang on to it and try flashing some of the newer releases to see if it doesn't improve the LOS issue.

I know you are asking because apparently you need the help of others to make up your mind... (sorry I am a smartass) But quick question what rom are you on cuz buddy LOS is a thing of the past up in herrrre... And that PHoton are you serious would you trade in your S clase Benz for a C Class Benz....
Root that sucka and flashing one of the stock EL29 roms or do the upgrage on your phone for the complete stock version... Oh yea and if you gonna ask where the roms are then maybe you should return your phone...LOL (smartass again)
exactly, flash something different (I'd recommend calks) and that issue goes away :O
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Doesn't even need to flash roms, root, and all that. Just OTA to EL29 and it should get rid of the issue.
Hey playya like the benz analogy, I was thinkin the same thing about the photon swap.
Yea update your phone dawg LoS was fixed officially in december
If you have Los on EK02+ get a replacement

What's the latest stock version?
I'm on EL29 version 2.3.6 running fully stock since there was no reason to go custom until now.
and thanks for all the help so far. looks like I'll either update to latest stock version or go custom.

I think almost everyone on this forum experienced frequent LOS until Sprint issued a firmware update that fixed it. I haven't experienced LOS since and it would happen to me several times a day. Update your firmware and you should see this go away. (my recommendation is to go with Calk's non-ICS firmware since it's probably the most stable at the moment)

Sounds like you need to get your phone replaced. The loss of service was fixed with ek02. el29 was the update after ek02 and it's the most recent update. You shouldn't be having any problems.
And you're flat out insane if you step down to a photon.

I'd definitely suggest Call's E4GT rom its one of the better ones out there, i havent had any issues with LoS but i did just get my phone in december. But for sure keep this phone !
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yea, I would try flashing Calk's EL29. It should solve the LOS issues while improving the phone in mutliple other areas as well.
If that doesn't work, just take ot back to Sprint and replace it with another one. I would highly recommend staying with this phone though, not the Photon.

I was initially going to flash to Calks ROM anyway but this phone was pretty awesome out of the box until the LOS issue.
I think it's safe to say Im keeping this phone since there seems to be a fix for LOS

Exactly my thought... OP, as you are on EL29 you should not be experiencing LOS. Are you sure what you are experiencing is actually LOS, and not just poor Sprint service?
I'm not an expert flasher but the devs here have made it so simple I've been able to play around with several of the ICS releases but I always return to sfhub's stock-rooted EL29 and get amazing performance out of it.

I believe so. It says something to the effect of no service and roaming charges will be applied. So i'm assuming thats LOS.

If your phone is up to date I wouldn't flash anything on it. Just take it to a store and get it replaced. The LOS issue has been fixed. Unless your counting the ghost LOS problem. I had that one until I switched to EL29.

Ummm try to take a screenshot, idk what you're talking about?
Only time I ever get LoS is when clearing RAM in Task Manager, which I think is normal? Only for 2 seconds then pops right back up and runs perfectly
So a friend of mine wants to root his S2. He tells me the model # is SPH-D170. Samsung shows both EPIC & S2 are that model.
I just wanted to confirm if someone can tell me that the root instructions for the EPIC and ROM's work with the sprint S2 as well.
Thanks!

If he wants to change ROM's.. he can just put the phone into download mode, flash a kernel via Odin that will have a custom safe recovery. I suggest Agats kernel found below.

Just make sure you guys pick out a ROM people swear by Blue Kuban but it really comes down to the person.. if they want a themed ROM or stock experience. take a look around the deving section.

This discussion is only for user's who have had their E4GT flashed to Boost.
I have tried almost all the roms. Including the Samsung Boost leaks. When I'm on all the ICS roms I get a data error then update profile and it's gone for a while but comes back often. I have been running Calk's 3.0 GB and never have a data error.
Of course, that is why my daily is the aforementioned Calk 3.0.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

I've used both paranoid Rom 2.2 (which I'm currently using) and the stock ff18 Rom and have never had the 3g stop or anything related to that and I'm on boost. I also wrote an updated guide on how to COMPLETELY flash that can be found somewhere in the older flash to boost thread in this section.

In order to have working 4g you need to clone or change your 4g mac address to a working active sprint address or a clear mac. Reference this thread for more info.

Have tried both the Boost leaks and many of the Sprint roms. Currently I use Calk's gb 3.0 since it doesn't give me any data error's. Since I don't know anyone who has gotten a E4GT from Boost I have no way of knowing what if any the difference is. I created this thread because I wanted to know if Boost user's were getting data error's on ics. Still haven't gotten any feedback on that.

More specifically since both replies relate.... Boost has this with 4G now...I mean same network essentially right? I would THINK in my tiny little mind that the need for a full BOOST flash plus additional 4G mac tinkering may not be completely necessary outside changing some minor things? ...I guess that's more where I was headed with that question, but it will end up rooted and flashed anyway...
Rigel, I'll move my wandering mind to a new thread if you prefer.
