is the White different then the Black? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have a black Epic 4G Touch rooted and running EuroSkank just fine. I actually haven't experienced any issues besides video camera with effects causes FC. But I have a friend who has the white Epic 4G Touch and we rooted it, got a custom recovery and all went smooth. The second we put on the ROM on his phone he now is unable to make/Receive Calls and send/receive text/mms messages. Is there a color specific ROM? I tried flashing all sorts of ROMs to the device to fix it, but to no avail can I get it to work.

i have a white one and it works well with all kinds of custom roms. i believe they are the same.

White and black are essentiall the same phone.
Sounds like a network issue.
You could try a complete Stock+Root with an OTA build from sfhub http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 .
This should set everything right.
OR
You could try reseting the network settings. You'll need your MSL and a stock dialer.
Hands Free Activation/Network Reset:
Open dialer then ##72786# (factory reset on network settings)
Enter your MSL and hit OK
On the SCRTN screen select yes
Phone will auto reboot and take you to Hands Free Activation
If you have an SD card, media scanner will do its thing first.
Re-activation will initiate, let it run (DO NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN, no need to Press OK it will continue on its own)
Phone will then update Profile, then PRL, (you can select cancel when it searches for Firmware update if you want)
Phone will reboot again.
To get you MSL (if you're rooted)
1. Download "Terminal Emulator" from the app market.
2. Open Terminal Emulator.
3. type in getprop ril.MSL (make sure the .MSL is capitalized)
4. Press enter and poof, you have your MSL
Good luck

alright I found the problem. It wasn't the ROM at all, it wasn't the RIL, it wasn't anything to do with the custom ROM. It was actually his line that was having problems with the switch. We got it all figured out and the phone works great now. Thank you for your responses on getting it back up and working. We put a test line on the phone and it called just fine, so we found the issue was actually on his number. Phone fixed, and we are rocking the custom Jelly Bean again. Thank you everyone!

Super weird instance... 1x

I have tried several roms, with this phone, on the newest radio, keep in mind, I have 2 Evos, the first one I rooted it and flashed cm7 nightlies with the STOCK kernel, then I went and grabbed my wifes phone and did the SAME exact thing, but she is stuck in 1x, what gives and can anyone tell me if they experienced this?
EDIT: Stock I mean cy's nightly kernel. This just doesn't make sense. I called Sprint to have them force a prl update, no luck.
UPDATE:
mich11128 said:
This happened to me as well when I rooted my mom's phone. We both had CM roms and the same kernels, yet her phone was showing 1x while mine was showing 3x. If it's a coverage issue then just try going to a place with better coverage but if you have my issue, just flash to a sense rom and enter ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter your msl, EVDO, select preferred mode, set it to automatic then press menu and commit modifications and let it reboot (got this off of one of the cyanogenmod EVO threads) and this should work. It definitely worked for me. Just make sure you're wife is actually stuck on 1x before doing this.

So if its not actually stuck, then what harm could it do?
Moderators please post SOLVED in the title please!
Glad I could help out! and to answer your previous question, if it wasn't actually stuck then I guess it's just better leaving well enough alone. We don't really mess with those codes unless it's absolutely necessary because you never know, you could actually mess something up.

[Q] Issue with ##GPSCLRX# for GPS on CM7

Hey guys, I need a bit of help. I have been using CM7 since build 0, and have been having hte GPS lock issue as everyone else has. I finally got around to going back to a sense ROM to clear the gps using ##GPSCLRX#. When I put that in it asked for the password (MSL code) and I accidentally hit ok, finger slipped. It said password incorrect and I'm not sure if it cleared the GPS or not. I tried to do it again, but when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it just disappears and the password window doesn't come up anymore.
I tried going back to CM7 and then back to a sense ROM, and I can't get that window to pop up again. My GPS still isn't locked consistently, just a quick lock every now and again, so I don't think the clear worked. I don't know how to clear it now.
I tried doing it on Myn's 2.2 and the stock ROM.
Today I did a full wipe and installed a fresh Myn's, and when I type in ##GPSCLRX# it still just disappears from the box, and it never prompts me for a password.
I would really love to get the GPS up and running, because other than that I love cm7. Appreciate the help. If someone can get my GPS up and running well I wouldn't mind donating a few dollars to a beer fund or whatnot.
CM7 RC1 is supposed to have the GPS issues cleared up.
Did you try a factory reset?
RC1 still does it.
I did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) when i installed Myn to do the clear, it still wasn't working.
Data wipe via clockwork is the same as factory reset, right?
Maybe this won't help, but you can try unrooting.
Any other suggestions?
Clear Data/Cache on the Dialer in Menu | Settings | Applications? Not sure what else this might muck with.

flash back to frest rom.
copy the attached epst.apk using root explorer to /system/app
when it asks to overwrite accept then install it.
your ## codes should work again.
you can also install 'gps status and tools' and clear the data there
After I went s-on and ran the latest ruu, I had to reapply the GPS fix after I rooted and loaded cm7. I couldn't get the GPS fix to work in Caulkins 1.8. It would reboot and hang at the white evolution screen. I used a rooted copy of the latest stock Tom and everything worked great.

This worked, however I still can't get the GPS to lock. :\
It seems like now I can't even get the GPS activate. If I turn GPS on the icon never comes on in the notification bar. It seems like its only trying to get a lock using the nearest tower or satellite or something.
EVO GPS not locking in GB 2.3
I did a little more research and it turns out that this is a common problem for anyone moving from 2.2 to 2.3 on evo. I found the fix by doing a GPSCLRX from my rooted stock sense rom.
0) Download the 2.3ROM and optional google apps to your sdcard; place it somewhere you can find them when in recovery
1) Download 'msl reader' from android market, run it and record your msl or call Sprint and beg for your msl number and record it for later.
2) ***MOST IMPORTANT PART*** you have to do this from a stock sense ROM. If you made a backup prior to your initial install of a custom ROM just restore it if not get stock ROM from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
3) Once your stock ROM is up verify your GPS works and locks (GPS toolbox or Maps etc..)
4) With your GPS on; Open dialer and press ##GPSCLRX# or ##4772579#
3) When prompted for the password input your msl code from step 1
4) Phone will reboot in 20 seconds
5) Reboot into recover (power button + down volume)
6) Wipe everything and FLASH 2.3ROM + latest gapps

I'm having GPS issues as well. I tried a similar instructions yesterday except I didn't test my GPS when I restored my stock ROM and turn on GPS during GPSCLRX. If i back up my CM7 rc3 now before I try this again can i just use the restore feature again after unlocking GPS or do I have to wipe and manual flash?
** EDIT ** I'm new to this so I want to add that I'm using the SavagedZen Kernel. Do kernels affect GPS? I haven't read that it does but just wanted to add it to help troubleshooting. I restored to stock ROM and confirmed GPS is working. Hope this works...
Works like a charm! I struggled for hours trying to get it to work and then ran across this thread. Thanks a bunch!
Can anyone help?
I'm trying to follow the ##GPSCLRX# fix documented here. I flashed to a Fresh ROM to get Sense, and got my MSL code.
However when I dial ##4772579# the dialer just locks up (looks like a previous poster had the same issue).
I got around it by saving the number as a contact and dialing the contact.
The phone rings twice then says:
"The number or code you have dialed is incorrect. Please check the number or code and try again. Message 7, Switch 351."
I tried dialing the same number from a free alternate dial app, same response.
Any ideas? No GPS really sucks
(And yes, I have double- and triple-checked that I'm dialing the right number. And yes, Sprint is my carrier.)
Oh, and using the GPS Tools app: Tools -> "Manage A-GPS state" -> "Reset" didn't change anything.

crazedfred, I actually had the same problem today. I think it might have something to do with Fresh and not the method to fix it. I originally tried using fresh and encountered the same problem you're having.
Instead, I used Sprint Lovers as my Sense-ROM and followed the same instructions and everything worked out ok. If done correctly, you shouldn't have to dial ##4772579#. Once you input the last pound sign you should be prompted to enter the number from MSL Reader.
Just a note: When I did this today I started to have some data connection issues but I'm not entirely sure if they are related. I'll update if I can figure it out.
I've had these issues any time I moved from sense to aosp...I just flash to stock rooted, run ##gpsclrx#, enter msl and actually use the GPS after reboot...

Broke my 3g! :((

Ok, so I was running MIUI and I needed to do the 3g fix to get my data speeds up to par. Here are the steps I followed:
Go to the Market and download the app: MSL Reader
Use this app to get your MSL #
Flash to any GingerSense ROM (I used VR_GengerSense_Revolution_B4 with success. Has the nicest boot animation I have seen. ROM so pretty I stayed away from MIUI for a minute LOL.)
Launch phone dialer and dial ##DATA# (##3282#)
Select Edit Mode
Enter the MSL Number from above as the password
Select Data Profile
Press Menu button
Select Restore
Your phone will enter Commit mode and automatically reboot
Nandroid back to MIUI and enjoy better 3G speeds!
I got as far as commit mode, the phone didn't automatically reboot so I did it manually. The phone got stuck at the white screen where I pulled the battery, then just gave up and went back to MIUI. When I was back in MIUI, I saw I didn't have data at all! So then I went back to the GingerSense ROM and tried to do the data fix again, but to no avail. I have no 3g. When I am in the edit mode in data profile my username is blank, whereas there was something there before I tried to restore data. Are there any fixes for this?
Flash another sense rom snd see what you get
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, try a different Sense ROM. I have performed this fix countless times with no issues and have recommended it with great success.
I'm not sure why your phone did not reboot on its own, but it should have. Flash back to Sense and update your profile Settings>Updates (I think) then perform the ##DATA# fix. While you are at it, update your Radio, etc. to the latest.
You guys were right! I just tried another sense rom and it worked like a charm! And updating my profile from settings gave my 3g back before I did the 3g fix

[Q] [SOLVED] Stuck on 1x

Hey, I'm running cm7 and I've been stuck on 1x for only god knows how long. I know there is 3g around because when I first got the phone it worked. After flashing different roms it seems to not want to connect to 3g anymore at all. Why is this?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
call sprint and see if there is an outage
Are you somehow stuck on roam only?
You might need to reset your phone through obtaining your MSL code. I flashed my friend's phone incorrectly in the past before lost his 3G.

I think this may be my problem. I do roam sometimes when I never had before. What should I do in order to fix this?
I am pretty sure there isn't an outage because my friend on sprint has been tooling around on 3g.
I'm able to toggle between the 1x and 4g, but I can't connect to 3g. :-/

If I just switched to the stock kernel and then back to the savaged zen one I'm using now, could this fix my error? Just a thought.

I had this exact sh_t happen to me after a flight from Portland to Boston. What I had to do was flash Sense, wipe, then re-flash CM7 (I think it was Deck's ROM).
See if that helps

I had the same exact problem and this worked for me. I found it on goodandevo.net
After following these directions I upgraded to the latest prl and maintain 3g.
'Turn off your GPS. Dial ##3282#, and select Edit. Enter your MSL, then go to Data Profile. Push the menu button, then tap on Restore. Push OK to reboot. Allow the phone to go through hands-free activation, but WATCH YOUR PHONE CAREFULLY AND PRESS CANCEL WHEN IT BEGINS TO UPDATE PRL.'
Found this in the comments here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/09/stuck-at-1xrtt-on-your-htc-evo-3d-heres-how-to-get-3g-back.html
Obviously, first you will have to flash a ROM that has working EPST, after restoring 3g, it should hold thru all following flashes.
I have this problem occur on CM7 randomly as well. I just turn off mobile data for about 5 mins then turn it back on and it seems to fix the problem. Least till the next time.

I've followed your instructions and I read up on that website. I've dragged the two files on to my SDcard and placed the one it told me to in system/app. Rebooted my phone and tried to type in ##3282# and nothing happens. It just dials the number. There isn't an option for me to press edit and type in a MSL code. I press menu and there isn't even an option similar to that. I read up that it's probably due to me using a third party dialer. I am using cm7, so is there a way for me to just show the stock dialer for a second to do this and then go back to the dialer that is set for cm7?

I think the simpliest thing to do would be to flash a stock rom and make your changes and then flash back to your prefered rom. Thats what I did. Flash the stock rom, use EPST and then flash back to CM7. You should have working 3g.

[Q] Sprint Note 2 LTE Issue

Hello there, I have been in the search for a perfect 4.4 ROM to work, I seem to be at an impass..
The 2 that I have tried, and Quite enjoyed so far are the Omni ROM and the Cyanogenmod 11
Both roms have the same issue, I cannot connect to a 4g LTE Sprint tower. I know the LTE Towers are working, My mom has the same phone, Sprint Note 2 and I have Mac's Rom on it and is picking up a very strong 4g Signal, yet my phone which sits literly right next to it, Refuses to get any 4g.. I drove around, went to known working areas, Never once did I snatch a 4g signal.
I played with the settings, it is set to LTE mode, I even tried Flashing as a fresh Install..
I tried flashing a Stock rom, but for some reason after it installs, and on boot up the phone does not work. I get a blank screen and literly nothing. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. At that point I have to either Re-flash or restore a backup through CWM.
Any help would be appreciated, I miss my LTE Thanks
Same issue here. Not sprint though...
In cm11 set your mobile network type to cdma+lte/evdo or global. See if that works.
Next you can try to flash a touch wiz rom and do a hands free activation, verify lte works on the touch wiz rom, then flash to CM11 and see if you can connect to lte.

I have tried setting it to both. Global shows no signel what so ever on anything, I currently have it on cdma=lte/evdo and I just get a good 3g signal..
I might try that one out, Which is a good touch wiz rom to try and do that with ? I dont think I even tried a touch wiz rom yet

Personally I would recommend doing this:
Backup everything to your PC (both internal and external)
Delete the contents of the "0" folder on your internal card. If you use ES File Explorer, you'll need to enable root access, and then while in the app hit the menu button. The left menu will slide open and you'll see "Local".... underneath that you'll find the "0" folder. The problem is the way CM and Touchwiz mount the file system - they don't do it the same way. So when you do a factory reset in CWM, it doesn't clear out one of those folders. (I found this thread helpful - especially posts 2 & 4) I had major data problems on CM10 for 2-3 months, then I found this out.
After you do that go back to stock. Make sure you download the keep root file as well.
To play it safe, once stock, I highly recommend entering ##72786# in your dialer. The phone will grab the latest prl and update your profile. Whether or not you want to update the software (incl modem) is up to you, but I'd rather not get into the knox world.
Verify working gps. (I prefer "GPS Status")
Then go back to CM11.
I will try that out thanks

Update us on your progress.
If it works, consider hitting the thanks button - at the very least the guy in that other thread - I know I thanked him - his info saved me from going crazy!!!
I had working data (3g/LTE) on any touchwiz, but not on CM. It turned out that I had some corrupted data that wasn't getting deleted upon a factory reset. After I cleared out that data, everything was fine.
Hope your phone is back to normal!
Finally was able to download everything and run the tip, Thanks a lot dude! That helped and that did it ! I got 4g Back and everything is all peachy!!! Thanks again!
