[Q] can you help a noob out? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so i have been reading and reading and reading and mutha efin reading for about a good 2 weeks now and i got the flashing of the roms down and themes they seem pretty easy, but i am still very confused as to which roms are compatible with my phone the way it sits right now. i do not want to go to froyo i love my GB. so here is a pic of my phone settings. if someone could point me in the right direction i really wanna try this theme. if i cant then just what rom to use would be awesome. and also if you could maybe tell me what factors are involved in choosing a rom that would be like teaching me how to fish. thank you in advance.

If you check in Development all the roms are "compatible" with your phone in some way. Understand the difference between BML and MTD and what that means to you and your flashing choices and how to return to stock if needed and the dangers of making a mistake. I am currently using CM7 but have tried CM9 and Clean GB. Those are all MTD and have their own sets of benefits and concerns. Reading in each of them will spell them out but at that point it is simply a matter of trying them out and seeing which you like best.

To use that theme you will need to be on a deodexed ROM. I would recommend the full version of Sleeper or CleanGB 1.12 BML version. I would recommned reading up on MTD before considering changing your partition table and file system:
CleanGB go to second set of links labeled BML version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483903
Or Sleeper, the second set of links on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22289108&postcount=287
Assuming you are rooted with CWM 5.027 already. If not Google qbking77's videos on how to root Samsung Epic on EL30. And also look for the included link to a video on how to install CWM 5.0.2.7.
As for how to choose a ROM the firmware versions are listed in the thread titles and usually all the features are listed in the OP or first few posts in the Development thread.

so just so im reading everything right i should have bml right? and clean gb has a version for bml i could just use that instead of go to mtd right? and thank you all for the help. love learning this stuff.

Exactly. CleanGB had a BML version and Sleeper automatically detects what partition you are on and installs accordingly. When you are ready for MTD CleanGB MTD version will convert you.

Marcusant made a written root guide in the dev. Section explaing it very very well if u have horrible internet speeds to watch youtube vids... on my phone so can't post the link but its there for just bout evrything

Sep, when u are looking at the different roms in the development section, it will say bml/mtd , things of that nature. Or I will only say bml or mtd. On ur phone, excactly in the screen that u posted, it will say mtd in the build number, or such other wise.

ok so i installed clean gb and then i flashed the bloody survival theme and now i have no 3g cant update profile or prl and before install i wiped dalvik cache and cache 3 times. did i mess something up? o yeah and due to me being noobish i forgot to backup before the theme flash.

It is unusual for a theme to do that. You can reflash the ROM to wipe the theme and check then. It is possible a tower is down near you or undergoing maintenance.

[Q] concerning the recently leaked radios

I just saw that the official gb rom for the evo was leaked with some radios, im currently running cm7 and am curious as if updating my radios to the new ones would be safe and possibly produce better signal?
radios and leak information can be found here(XDA):

Search in the thread for.the leaked gingerbread rom. There is a flashsble zip somewhere in there. Just flash it in recovery, and expect to see some different screens while.it flashes, so don't panic and pull battery. I flashed the radio image last night, and haven't noticed any improvement.

So the zip file that includes the entire rom does not include the radio? Do you have any idea on what page the radios are? I was trying to keep up with the thread yesterday but it was moving fast as hell....by the time I got to work this morning, it had well over 100 pages.
Edit: I'm downloading TMartin's rooted rom now to try it, but the mirrors are slow. I don't know what's inside the rom yet.
Have you tried this radio with the 1.90 PRI? I see you still have the 1.77 PRI in your set up.

The radios are not in Tmartins rom. I think it was around page 50 - 54 that Barnacles posted the radio.img, which needs to be flashed in fastboot. then shortly after his post, someone posted the flashable zip. And you wont have any issues being on PRI 1.90, other people posted screens with that setup.

I flashed the new radio last night on CM7. It didn't break anything but I also saw no speed or signal improvement. From what I have read in the post it is just a 3g update but my 3g didn't seem any better at all. I ended up flashing back to the radio I had before, 2.15.00.11.19.

I ran across this problem with one of my tabs, but not both.
If I accessed CWM using the power and Vol+ key CWM would boot, but fail at flashing.
Go to advanced, reboot recovery
Then try to flash the kernal, then rom.
Im about to post the link to the "package" that has the zimage so people can flash the kernal via heimdall.

So I applied the .so file from the voodoo kernal thread, and rotation works on this ROM. It's also pairing with my bluetooth keyboard folio, so that's win. I pink puffy heart the browser, too. It's fun.

OK, first off.....NOT MY PORT.
But I did stay at a holiday in last night.
This is a cdma cm7 gingerbread port, in a way its kinda a hybrid build. I myself am working on stripping out all the cm7 stuff, fixing camera, apps, weird touchscreen bugs, etc.
I'm kinda shooting for an aosp-ish build, however, I am waiting on permission from original developer to publish any changes I make.
3g and wifi do work.

[ROM](2-7-13)ODIN ONE CLICKS for the SPRINT+ CSPIRE GS3 (LJ7 LI3 LEN) (LJ5 LL1 MA5)

Anyone comin from the Epic 4g Touch should know what this is. For those who don't, its a full stock tar with root loaded in an executable one-click package. This will not add to the custom flash count.
LJ7 Jellybean
There are two versions of Jellybean LJ7. One will wipe all data including internal SD. Performing a factory reset in recovery is recommended prior to use unless you're flashing the version that wipes data. If you are coming from a ICS touchwiz based rom and flashing Jellybean, the factory reset is probably not needed. Just wipe cache/dalvik if there are any issues.
Flash Count Reset Edition
These are unrooted and will NOT wipe data. These will reset your custom flash count before rebooting into the system.Each storage capacity will have its own one click. Be sure to pick the one that corresponds to your phone's storage capacity. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU PICK INCORRECTLY. Wiping data prior to flashing is recommended.
LEN/LI3 ICS
There are two ICS versions as well. LI3 and the original LEN. Neither of these will wipe data. Doing a factory reset is a must if you are downgrading from jellybean.
Note that the stock recovery will wipe your internal storage too. This is why I recommend wiping beforehand so you can use cwm/twrp and preserve your internal sd.
DOWNLOAD FOR SPRINT
These are packed in self-extracting archives so extract before use.
You'll need a pc running windows with Samsung drivers installed
DOWNLOAD FOR C SPIRE
(MA5 BUILD NOW AVAILABLE)

Can the no data wipe version be flashed over a current stock non-rooted LJ7 build? This is how the old sfhub ones worked. Just double checking before I go through with it.

[Q] Need Help with error

I have been running the rooted stock ver 4.1.2 GC01 That i found here on the forums mos ago. This morning i tried to flash a new kernel and rom and figured i would test out a few new roms. I download the blasphemy kernal, slimbean, carbon, CM10.2 and dirty unicorns roms. I was looking for a stable and reliable 4.3.1 rom as daily driver. problem i ran into is no matter what i do i get a operation failed, cant verify signature. after hrs of reading a tinkering. i install cwm but it never flashed over the e3 recovery that came with the rooted stock 4.1.2 rom i had flashed. I read that you had to disable the verify signature in cwm settings but no such option is available. I tried flashing the kernal and all the roms and i keep getting the same error no matter what i try. Can somebody please explain to me what im doing wrong? Also if i missed a stable 4.3.1 rom to dl and try im open to suggestions. i figured i would check them all out and see which i like best. Any help in the error problem and possible suggestions for roms is most appreciated.
Well first off, I would say none of the 4.3 ROMs are "stable". Functional yes, but not stable. Try the EL29 Direct Boot kernel-http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ernels/Recovery Kernels/GB/Noobnl Direct Boot for flashing. Don't forget to get an ICS modem for the 4.3 ROMs and Wimax was removed from 4.3 by Google so no 4G if that's a dealbreaker.

ok, tyvm for the info. im dl the tar file now. hope that fixs the problem. when you say 4.3.1 isnt stable. what excatly do you mean by it. i know with a lot of roms with this phone it seems like its a ymmw situation, esp data from what ive read. Would i be better of just sticking with a 2.2 rom? 4g isnt a big deal for me. im normally on wifi anyways. when im not i just really need to make sure i can get emails form work and txt messages. 3g is generally good enough for that. most the time i have 4g turn off just to save batt, as im a somewhat heavy user. biggest reason i was looking at 4.3.1 is because of an app. I get the "incompatible device" message if not on 4.3 or higher. i know for fact if i manually install app it will work just fine. It will just be a pain to get new updates since i can just use the play store to update. i did read about a work around but i lost the thread due to trying to get this phone to be able to flash roms. other than the app my main concern is getting the most out of my batt as possible. i seam to have huge battery drains lately. so figured a fresh clean install with a custom kernel might do the phone some good.
Sry for the noobish questions. I came from the fascinate, charge and razr on verizon and was active in thoughs sub forums. But for some reason this phone seems to be a pain in my butt for some reason. idk if its because to jellybean, the phone or im just getting dumber lol. again ty for your help ill post back soon on results.
awesome. it now boots into cmw but wont boot back to my rom. i guess i have to just to flash a kernal rom and modem now right? is only being able to boot into cmw and not boot into stock rooted rom normal at this point?
Also is FC14 the better ics modem to use if trying out a 4.3 rom?
Yes, it boots to a "safe" recovery then you flash your ROM and reboot. The one problem with EL29 is it can't flash modems, you can do that after your ROM boots up tho.

Try whatever ICS modem you like. Some report better performance with some than others. You might try the official releases first before grabbing a leaked one. Either way, your phone, your experience is your best guide.
In a word, with items like this (best modem), searching may not be as useful as experimenting.
Swapping those is quick business.
Good luck!

Many thanks! im up and flashing like a champ.Your advice works like a charm. TYVM. I dont honestly know which are leaked and which are official modems. the list i got doesnt say which are which. is there a list that states official modems and which are thanks any leaked? Which modem was the last official ics modem? also if i decide to go with a 4.2 rom i would need to go back to jb modem correct?

D710BST i think Im ready to flash a ROM

So here's the deal. I rooted my D710BST (ICS 4.0.4, fl24) with framaroot. I had no custom recovery so i used mobile odin (i don't have a pc) to flash garwynn's custom kernel ( http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=119 ) so i can run agat's cr. Well now i have random power downs and gps failure. I have not been able to play ingress in over a week and its driving me nuts!!!
I just wanted to run this by more knowledgeable individuals. In theroy (until confirmed), since the kernel is a safe kernel, i can jump straight outta ICS. I am wanting to load ProjectX ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2320041 ). It requires a clean flash. [q] Since mobile odin can flash from internal SD and i lack computer, can i not move all my pics, vids, personal files (etc...) to my external SD, remove it, then flash clean?
noob alert: everything i have ever done in the root world is in this post
5min between posts?!?!? I just wanna edit this one!!! grr
What gives? Do i need to put "[q]" in the title?
I drive a cab and kinda rely on my gps. I can manage, with just my map; but i miss my navi!
Can you put a custom recovery?

More stock stuff? Sheeesh, why am i rooting? This beautiful sounding ROM was developed by your team! Why the discouragement? And, as i said before, i do not have a computer. How come no one will just answer the question? I am a strong person and can take criticism, if that is what i needed. Is your projectX ROM not safe/ideal?!?!? Sorry man, Im just baffled you would discourage use of your own products. Am i missing something? Confused
Sorry for sounding stubborn but, i really wanna try that ROM. Im just saying, if i wanted to stay stock, i would have never researched my way to xda. All the op details were so i can be thorough. The actual question was about the internal (clean) flash. I mean, should i not try your ROM?
If you read the first post in the thread you would see the instructions on how to install... and the first step is upgrading to the official upgrade because this creates the Preload partition, it is a necessary step. Not discouraging you from using Project X at all, I am about to release an update soon. I just want you to be aware of the proper procedure so things don't go wrong. The first post in the Project X thread has all the steps you need along with links to all the files you need.
Oh my god! I am sooo sorry i read that the wrong way! I feel like anass now! My apologies.
Yeah, i read about the partition change from ICS. So, using your link to upgrade and fix partitions would make for a smooth projectX installation? Does that mean i don't have to clean flash, since Im not coming from ICS?

Thank you for all your help. This, in particular, helped me out the most. Without knowing what to expect, I got a bit worried when there was no boot after el29 kernel flash. Limited computer access kinda snailed the process. Once i was up, i had to do the "clear data" on play store and its framework, in order to download anything. I lost your custom store but, I'm running! I am really enjoying all the green! I love the Pandora lock screen and the starry boot animation and the....... I'm sure I'll find tons more, in due time!
