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

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

Tired of the bugs on this phone. Please help

OK this phone used to be great coming from a HTC hero but now I'm really starting to regret the purchase.
I'm fully stock with a EK02 Rom. You have to excuse my ignorance as I don't know what the different radios do. Anyway I'm sick of the phantom LOS and needing to reboot my phone only to find I missed texts. In addition the sound bug when trying to play games on rare occasions is just as annoying.
Are there any roms / radios that fix these issues? What about CM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Flash either the EL26 or the EL29 radios and see if that fixes your issues, it did mine.
Is this just to fix the Los issue? Do I need to be rooted for this?

Check out the how to videos by QBKing77. He does a good job of explaining the how to process for almost everything.
http://www.youtube.com/user/qbking77#grid/user/6B97247164921053
This particular video shows how to install the EL26 Modem via Odin. I am pretty sure you don't need root to use Odin.
http://youtu.be/0uGAamjtNwk
Yes, you need root to flash modems, kernels, ROMS, etc.. Shouldn't be difficult to do that, takes a few minutes.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
definitely flash a new radio man. el26 gave me bad battery life. I am now on stock rooted el29 rom radio and rogue el29 kernel and no problems here!

I think if I'm going to go through the process of flashing a new modem I might as well root my phone as well. As far as I recall the only issue people speculated was root caused then LOS but if I already have that issue what does it matter
That said when I rooted my old hero I never used oden before. The little I have read suggests that oden will increase a flash counter that may or may not be looked at if your phone has an issue. I also thought I read there is a new rooting method that doesn't use oden and will allow me to keep everything stock? I'm not sure what the difference is? One installed a different kernal or something like that? And different kernals give different behaviors.
One thing I did before was a nand backup right after root so I could completely restore my phone. I guess I have some reading to do.

[Q] CWM on ICS?

I've read through most of these threads an I'm pretty sure there is no CWM for ICS for the Epic 4G Touch. Is this correct?
I have the s2 for tmobile and it is practically unbrickable compared to this phone. My friend has the Epic and I installed ICS AOKP. It is way more difficult on his phone. I don't understand why it is so different. Given, we have different hardware, but neither one of us have the source for ICS or kernel. But I do have the same CWM no matter what rom I'm on.
1. Is it possible to have CWM on the Epic 4G Touch?
2. His ext_sdcard is not showing up. How to I make it work? I tried DirectoryBind to no avail. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
3. Can i flash zips in ICS recovery? Ive never seen the recovery it put me in before.
4. Am I missing something?
I was under time costraints when helping him out and honestly I'm just happy i got AOKP running on his phone without any issues.
I appreciate all the work everyone has done so please don't take anything I said the wrong way.
Thanks in advance an i look firward to hearing from anyone...

We need ICS kernel source before we can have a proper CWM kernel for ICS.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
We had CWM on ICS for a little bit, but it was causinga ton of bricks because the partitions are handled differently in ICS. I wouldn't attempt to flash anything in ICS recovery because you risk bricking the device. We likely won't have CWM for it until kernel source drops.
If you need to flash something, the best way to do it is to Odin back to EL26, install CWM, and flash everything (ROM, kernel, modem etc.) in one recovery session. Most of the threads for AOSP ICS roms have specific flashing instructions in the first post.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm spoiled on my T989! We dont have source either. We didnt even have a proper leak til yesterday, but ICS runs great because our devs are ridiculous.
I have him running FD26 so I will flash back el26 for the mods. I left his baseband alone and it seems to be running fine.
Thanks again. I appreciate the help
Edit: One more thing. I need to reset the flash counter and remove the yellow triangle every time i go back to cwm right?

Flashing ICS ROM's with AGAT's

Hi all,
This has probably been answered a few hundred times, but I really want to be 100% sure I don't brick my phone. Today I got the new FF18 update and then rooted it and put CWM+Agat on it using QBKing77's awesome videos.
My understanding is that I can now flash between ROM's in CWM just like I used to do in Gingerbread and not worry about bricking it. That is, assuming I don't use a "TW" ROM (not sure exactly what that is) like AOKP or CM. Is that true?
If I want to flash Blazer ICS onto my phone, I can just copy it onto the SD card and install it from recovery? Or do I still have to do the whole EL26 thing?
Only other question I have: if I want to put Calkulin's ICS ROM on my phone but still use FF18, how would I do that? I love his GB ROM and used it for months with no issues.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can flash roms with the safe kernel. Just make sure that you flash the safe kernel back on if the Rom erases it before you flash something else. On the calk question you would flash his from then the safe kernel if I understood you correctly.

I thought we were past this (bricked)

So I just went from running pure stock rooted FI25, flashed agat's 0.5.4 source built kernel via odin, then rebooted into that custom recovery and flashed AOKP 3.1, flashed JB Gapps, and rebooted to blue LED.
We all run the risk I guess; just frustrating to see it happen on a process I've done literally hundreds of times.
Ordered a Jig and we'll see what happens.
Sorry man. That really sucks.
El26 kernel with cwm it is then.. 100% of the time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Are you sure that kernel was flashed? Did you see that it was agat recovery? Did you wipe? How did you wipe? What gapps did you flash? Are you sure you're actually hard bricked (not just soft)? These are just some questions I have that are useful...
Anyways, sorry to hear if you are legitimately bricked.

Flashed Calk's format all script to do the wiping (did not even do factory reset)
Flashed aokp 3.1 unofficial
flashed gapps-jb-20120726
rebooted to blue led
edit
yes I saw it was agat recovery; I was running FI25 stock kernel before that (pure stock, no repack) so there's no question as to kernel version.
I still have my odin window open and have verified the file i flashed

That wouldnt matter if it were only used to install. Erase Cap is just that, an ERASE cap. To my knowledge it absolutely cannot be triggered by an install, although ot may have been present yet dormant. It sounds to me like mis-partitioning. just my $0.02..
Either way, if you cam get the power cycled you MAY be able to boot into DL mode and then after that huge IF you could find somebody who could help you set up a couple tests to find the damage and then partition around it. You may lose a gb or two but its better than Asurion getting more of our money..
This is the reason why I play it safe and keep a copy of el26 kernel zip.and tar on my sd card so when it comes to times like this doing a wiping data/factory reset. I know theres safe kernels out there but I only use them when im just wiping cache and dalvik only but when it comes down to doing a data/factory reset my safest kernel is el26.

He used calk's format all. The script calls a format of the partition just like hitting factory reset in recovery. Which calls MMC_CAP_ERASE. That's what caused the brick.

Below is a copy of the post I made in my kernel thread:
I don't think it's kernel related.
Guys I'm not saying I'm perfect nor I'm trying to defend myself.
my v0.5.4 has been downloaded:
tar format 569 times
zip format 587 times.
This totaling over 1100 times.
If kernel/recovery wouldn't be safe we would of have more of this problem.
More bricks.
I think there's something went wrong.
I can't say what and I can't say why. But knowing that the kernel has been used so many times without any hick ups or problems
makes me think there should be something not kernel related.
I really feel sorry for the brick and I hate the fact that it happened wile using my kernel.
I'll gladly fix any problem and/or brick cause.
Just checked source on my laptop.
CAP_ERASE command is not there.
Unless something went terribly wrong and it came back somehow it should not be there.
End of quote.
I might be wrong. I need any input I can get.
Please let me know if you thing there something wrong in my logic.
I wanna help and I wanna fix any possible problem but it looks like I can't do it alone.
Chip in guys and help me make our experience as safe as possible.
Thanks in advance for any input/idea/thought.

It could be the same reason why chris41g's AOSP kernels were vulnerable to the brick bug for a short while. You may want to reach out to him to see if he's able to provide some advice as to why it happened. Also, entropy is one of the most knowledgeable people on the brick bug, so you may want to reach out to him as well.
OP - I'm sorry you bricked man. This is the reason that even with all of these "safe" recoveries, I still do all of my flashing from stock EL26. It's tried and true and it only takes an extra 30 seconds at the most to flash using Mobile Odin.

This is the first Ive heard of an Ecap on an Agat.. That being said,
Its something we are all always at risk (SLIGHTLY) because the negative effects of EraseCap a built into the phone. ICS software just so happens send a command that makes it more likely to be triggered...
El26 is only and can only be as safe as an ics source built kernel IF the source kernel has the Ecap hair trigger removed.

And therein lies the rub. The only way to know it's truly safe is to dig into the code and actually know what to look for. Most people, myself included, either don't or don't want to take the time. Also, things change, kernel bases change, and since we're all human, mistakes can get made. There's no mistake that can be made when flashing from a GB based kernel.
I certainly wouldn't mind the days when I could use my current recovery for anything I wanted to do, but for me, those days are over on this phone. The alternative is barely an inconvenience anyways.

Epic 4G Touch - Constantly Rebooting!

Hey guys,
I purchased this phone today, went home and immediately rooted the phone.
Everything went fine, until I tried flashing a custom recovery than the problem occurred,
I'm on a FL24 basebad with 4.0.4, and every time my phone boots 10 seconds later it restarts.
What's going on?
I rooted the phone with Odin, once rooted I installed mobile Odin and flashed a customer "Kernel / Recovery" now the phone constantly reboots.
Install the stock kernel.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well the kernel I flashed was 0.4.0, I heard that one has reboot issues so I flashed 0.3.0 and it's working great.
The only thing I can't figure out now is how to flash CWM, keeps taking me to the download screen when booting into "recovery".

How come E4GT ROMS are so large in size, back when I had an EVO and Optimus roms were about 100MB, E4GT are about 500mb?
Well sounds like the recovery was either flashed wrong or is defective for whatever reason..
Here is how to root that version by qb77king. He is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmKN2ewatk&feature=youtube_gdata_player.....
here is a video for the recovery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb63ldWtnoM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
So I'd like to help but need to know more info to go by. Did you enable USB debugging when you flashed the recovery? Anyways go ahead and go to stockroms.net. there you can find a stock ROM to flash your phone with unless its virgin or boost.
I recommend just getting stock jellybean or wild for the night cyanogen.. I know you just bought it but I can tell you its worth it ICS is horrible,Too many problems. You can actually find a jellybean ROM that is already rooted when u flash it.. Anyways download the android root toolkit from the market... This will save your phone's root

Hey Trytohoaxme. So as of right now there is no cmw for ICS. There is Agat recovery which is based off of cwm that is for either a ICS ROM or jelly bean ROM. I have cmw that is a jingerbread kernal that interfaces with CyanogenMod 10.1 which has 4.2.2 jellybean. If you flash clockworkmod it won't work with a stock rom your phone won't be able to boost up..

I'm pretty sure he's just trying to help and avoid misinformation, no need to get offended, bud... And the op stated the issue was already resolved.
He never asked about cwm specifically, just a custom recovery. On TW ICS I've used Agat's, Ruj's, and Slesh's kernels/recoveries without issue. There's really no need for EL26/CWM tar unless you want to play it safe (which i do) going from TW to AOSP or vise versa.
And yes stock TW ROMs are huge. AOSP ROMs end up around 240 megs (give or take) including Gapps.

Graydiggy u are pretty rude. I hope to god your mom raised you better. Show some respect on this forum, XDA is a place for positive feedback, not negative people who criticize others who which are naive and conceited.

Well when people like you give incorrect information like you are currently doing, or makes everything more complicated than it should be, again, something you are doing, I will be rude. ICS has had source for a very very long time and has had a CWM for a long time. JB does not. I have been here for a long time and there is a reason I have recognized contributor. I may be rude, but when someone else risks someone's expensive phone, sometimes it takes being rude. If you can't handle it, oh well.
The reason for my response was because the issue was solved and the stockroms.net is not a site that I trust. We have a repository for all of our stock ROMs.

I already upgraded from ICS FL24 to JB GB27.
The problem I have as of now is, I don't know which roms are compatible with my device?
I'm on JB 4.1.2 GB27, does that mean I can only flash GB27 roms?

You can flash any ROM for the E4GT... You are in the right forums for that.
Oh okay, I was asking because the thread title of most ROMs say "[ROM] FL24 Kuban Kernal" ETC..
Since I'm on GB24, I can still use EL26 ROMs and all?

Just read the instructions for each ROM. They will tell you exactly what is needed.
