Help with update

Hey guys, I've been gone from here for awhile, but when I first go my et4g I rooted it and put AE mod 4.0. Now I can't install the update which I figured might happen, and I would like to be able to update to fix the LOS and still have root. What is the easiest way to do this? I'm not too concerned with keeping AE mod if that is a problem, but I do need to be able to tether, so I do need root.

Just flash the already rooted update in the dev section.

So after that flash is it updated or will I have to receive the update still?
EDIT: Feel real noobish right now but which Kernel is it? The way they have the things listed is kind of tough if you aren't sure exactly what you are looking for. I also just read a thread about different modems. Do I need to choose a new modem file as well?

The latest update is el13.. Look in the dev section, there week be a stock rooted el13 rom and some custom el13 roms. there is also the el13 modem and a modem. All flashable.
You won't get the prompt to update any more.

Thanks for the help, got it flashed hopefully this will be better. Have you noticed if the modem change improved service on your phone? I have XM on my phone and to be honest, I lose the signal so often on my work drive that it really drives me nuts. And at work when I tether my speeds are not nearly as good as they were on ATT. Kinda hoping this helps with some of those things. Any reason to think it would or wouldn't?
once again thank

Love Hate relationship. Return it?

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

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.

Wth is LOS lol

Lol i tried to sound it out
Ive tried fb21 and fb27 and i get a gray triangle saying loss of connectivity while at home if thats what your talking about

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

Bought Phone From Swappa

Hey guys bought my E4GT from Swappa 2 months ago, and I love it the only issue is that I keep experiencing LoS, I'm running UnNamed EL13 odexed and from what I've read it seems if I'm still having this after EK02 I should probably get a new phone but the problem is I don't know if Sprint will give me one if I'm not the original owner. Any Sprint employees know if I'd be in the clear of am I just gonna have to deal with this little bug. THANKS!
come to think of it I haven't flashed a new modem should I just do that?

What modem are you running?

I'm running EL13
edit: I was looking at kernel not baseband I'm running EK02

Upgrade to an EL29 setup and no more Los.

kernel too?

That kernel gets along just fine with the EL29 Modem.
(I'm assuming it's the kernel that came with UnNamed since it's what I have on mine atm.. 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EL13-CL806482 )

thanks guys, it seems to be playing nicely with the EL13 kernel so we'll see how it goes

which is the best ota?

i just did a factory reset back to eg30. which is the best ota? i like this one seems really smooth.

im actually on the eko2 update right now and wondering if i should stay on it. was on el29 for the longest time and i like this one. what are your thoughts?

when i got my e4gt i updated it right to el29 then rooted it right away. i wanted to restore it back to out of the box stock. im on ek02 right now and liking some features like the scrollable wallpapers ( i understand lots of roms brought it back) and just seems smoother. just wondering if el29 is really worth it like i said im enjoying ek02. and what is Los? thanks for the quick response!!

[DISCUSSION] FG20 Build

This is a thread to discuss the FG20 build for the Boost Mobile version for our phone.
As to my knowledge there are no issues running it on our Epic 4G Touch without of course a simple APN fix to get MMS.
What we've noticed is that its a more polished version of FF18 and what we should have essentially gotten for our phone.
I would like to know your experiences on FG20 and how it's running for you.
And note any bugs you notice please!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Everything seems fine, some (but fewer than FF18) apps FC on me. The multitask bug is still there, I haven't tested if the exchange bug is still there. Battery life seems a bit sketchy, but better than FF18's. This is near 92-95% percent of what our ICS update should have been in the first place.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

I not sure to try the full ROM because I only flash the modem and can't even make a good call 95% of calls drop on me and the people I tell to call me they all went directly to my Voice mail.
Maybe I should try full ROM but dunno.
Edit: I just notice a few hours ago service get a Lil better, I will try again maybe was Sprint Service problems.

guys i dont know if it was just me or something, i flashed agats kernel and it didnt boot, so im guessing something is different in the kernels, also mobile odin didnt recognize it...

I've been on the fg20 modem for a few days now and not had any problem, I've have no 4g in my area and spotty 3g... my 3g speeds have been more or less the same as they were on ff11, but the consistancy and stability of the connection has improved and this has helped my battery life, not that I had an issue with my battery life... voice calls have been good and I've not noticed any change from what I experanced on ff11, which prior to this was the modem I got best results with

Hello, I tried the FG20 rom and noticed that there was no Roaming option in the settings, so I did a quick search for Boost mobile roaming and found that BST doesn't allow roaming. So for now, it's back to the somewhat unreliable (WiFi) FF18

Did you try Roam Control to force roaming?

No, sorry. And since my last post, I've gone even further back to old reliable Blazer 4.1. But am keeping the FG20 modem however, figuring that it should be at the very least no worse than either FF18 or EL29.

I'm not sure what you're questioning, but I'll try to be more specific. After trying the FG20 ROM/Modem and realizing that it had no roaming option, I first reverted to a backup of FF18 ROM, keeping the FG20 Modem. But FF18 has an annoying WiFi issue where it often disconnects while in sleep mode. So I then restored old reliable a.k.a Blazer 4.1 ROM which doesn't have any issues whatsoever, or at least any that bothered me. The modem itself, whether EL29, FF18 or FG20, all performed about the same regardless of ROM type, so as of yet, there is no reason to go back to an earlier version than FG20.
Bottom line, when I mentioned WiFi issues, they had nothing to do with modems..... I think.

I am still trying to figure out what makes these builds so different.

Seems like more trouble than its worth. I think a lot if people thought fg20 would be our silver bullet. I have a feeling we'll see an update for our ics before too long
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I'm running this but I'm also on boost. Find it to be an improvement over the last few ics leaks. Using agat's latest release 4 which I loaded thru Odin since mobile Odin doesn't recognize the device anymore. All in all pretty smooth with good battery.
