[Q] In need of help... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently tried to flash a ns4g modem while running miui on my epic 4g. I couldnt get my internet to connect so I just odined back to stock EL30. After doing that I noticed that instead of the 5 or 6 signals bars showing up in the statusbar there was just a cirlce with a line through it meaning that there was no connection. I odined to EC05 and I STILL dont have a connection. What should I do?

Did you repartition during the odin? I think that would prevent the phone from booting, but maybe not (I've never tried - no idea what it might mess up)

Question. Complete factory reset ( like odin)

Is there anyway to "odin" my phone without using odin?
I want to it to b straight out of the box but. My phone won't connect to my computer so I can't use odin or any program that requires usb connection
Other than th regular " factory reset" button in my phone is there any app or anything I can use to getmy phone back to stock?

No. But there are ROMs you can flash that are very close to stock. Search for ReRFS ROM in development.

Nope. ONLY way (unless someone can prove me, and the "higher ups" wrong) to change your modem is odin or wait for an official release.

Yup that's what I thought...
And if I had a backup that was from a ec05 modem and I restored it would it change the baseband version for me?
Just posted in your other post...but no. Modems are an entirely different beast then roms or kernels

Lost wifi calling after attempted Odin root

I am risking getting flamed but I find the search rather difficult on my gs2, I attempted to duo the Odin root (haven't completed due to having to do a hard reset) and I had noticed that wifi calling is gone is there any way to get that back? I have also noticed that keis no longer talks to my device it says I need to connect it no mater if I am in debug mode or in normal mode any ideas?
Perpetually stumped....

Odin wont root your phone. It installs clockwork mod recovery OR can be used to return your phone to stock configuration.
If you did something to root your phone with Odin, which it wont do, its no wonder you are experiencing problems.

could you have possibly used ODIN to flash a pre rooted 2.3.5 rom?
Are you saying that if you go to settings/Wireless and network you don't see WiFi calling there? it might be there, but just disabled.

Yeah this is wierd, ODIN doesnt even touch the ROM on your phone. All it does is flasha new recovery image.(if you followed the ROOT guide in the dev section). If you did anything with superuser in ODIN then you might have bigger problems than wifi calling...
Actually JessieJames11191981 hit the nail on the head it took me back to 2.3.5 how do I get back to 2.3 6 when over the air says there is no update available and it won't connect to Samsung keis

use this thread to root your phone and install a custom recovery

then just flash a custom or stock 2.3.6 rom and bam wifi calling. If you want to keep some bloat but have an easy way to remove some download and follow the insructions of this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322642 It has a program called bloater where you can pick what bloat programs you want to keep and which to remove

[Q] YouTube won't play videos

Yesterday I tried to watch some videos on the YouTube app. Any video I tried, the screen would remain black and the phone would vibrate two times before saying it was not able to play the video and try again. Same issue happened today. I even tried uninstalling the updates, but still nothing. Did a couple reboots just in case, still no luck. I don't recall having this problem before but then again it's been awhile since I've messed with YouTube on my phone. Did some searching, couldn't find a solution.
Currently running 2.3.4 GB EG22. (no set dev make)

Why are you still on a leak? We have official EI22 2.3.5 now. Flash a new ROM and try it. If it still does not work uninstall the app and redownload from the market. You have not deleted any DRM files, right?

I didn't realize there was a full release. Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I get home.
And, I have not deleted any DRM files, to my knowledge.
I've had a similar problem it was because of the kernel that this would occur just flash one of the newest ei22 roms and you'll be good to go

Nope. I never got an OTA. Factory data wipe formats system, data and cache. OTA actually screws up people's phones. Better to Odin EC05, root and flash a GB ROM, then flash the modem delta.

What? Ota has never scewed up my phone... I've accepted it like 10 times now after using odin to go back to ec05... I would rather use odin to root cuz the one-click always fails for me... but the ota has never harmed my phone one bit... also I have ALL drm files deleted from my phone and youtube plays fine...

I meant SOME people's phones dude. Some would not take to the new recovery no matter what that is why I prefer old reliable and I just Odin a prerooted EC05, flash CWM5 and I'm off and running...2 steps. Works every time.

If I'm going to an EI22 ROM, I don't have to Odin back to an older modem to go to the newer one, do I? I just got confused by the recent replies about going to EC05 and then going to EI22. Why downgrade just to upgrade?

We never got a modem.bin for EI22 only a delta from EC05 so yes you have to Odin in EC05 modem for the flashable to work.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I take it that the EI22 is an update that happens when I got into About Phone and have it check for updates?
Well, when u odin back to ec05 and turn on ur phone, sometimes u get an automatic alert about the update, and sometimes u have to tap on "update android" to make it happen. But u will eventually will see the update. It does take awhile though. Make sure u have a full battery doing this.

Phone stuck in airplane mode

So I flashed pa2.53 and the 4.2 gapps and got signal, then I tried the nexus4g modem still no signal. Then tried to odin back to stock now my phone is stuck in airplane mode. I've flashed other roms before and lost the modem but was always able to flash back or odin another modem. Is there anyway I can fix this besides flashing back to stock and going to sprint?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Reflash PA, NS4G AIO, and gapps again. Only way I could fix it 2 weeks ago.
You may have to flash the AIO twice to get it to stick.

I've tried that and has worked in the past. This is different though now its stuck in flight/airplane mode. I'm hoping its not a hardware issue
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Are you wiping before the reflash or dirty flashing?
If wiping, looks like an Odin back to stock might be the only solution.

check /system/lib and delete libsec-40.so
check build prop and make sure epic rill is "#"ed out and crespo ril is in.
i am assuming you want crespo 4g modem. its not likely you will have to odin.
I've done clean installs more than once and odin with victory pit and d700-fco9 tar which always did the trick before. None of that is working. Although I still get wifi.

Clean installs won't help. The only way you can get out of it is by clearing the NvRam. Download the respective modem.bin file of the current stock Rom you are on, b. Flash it using old Odin1.8* with Phone EFS clear and auto reboot ticked. Update your PRL and Nam if you have a backup. That should get your phone working.

After dealing with this same issue and the nexus patch (which I stopped using for better compatibility), just ODIN the FC09 modem.bin. It can be found among the sticky threads.

I currently have this problem as well. I'm stuck using the nexus modem. I did odin back to stock and was able to get back on the stock modem BUT when I try to flash CM7 or CM9 it flashes it but brings up "no service". Sooooo what's the secret...???? Please help me...

Either Odin with the EFS clear then flash the Epic modem or there is some kernel jumping game someone mentioned.

Yep I did that. I odin and cleared EFS. (As long as I'm on stock, Im back on the FC09 modem). So once I verified that, I flashed CM7 and it says no service. I must be missing a step or something. Is there a step by step on how to get back to epic modem from a nexus modem? If not, maybe we should think about creating one.

Did you verify service on stock? It needs to go through hands-free activation.

Does anyone have a baseband fix. I can't connect to the Sprint mobile network. I feel like i've tried everything. Any ideas? I've tried going back to stock, flashing radios/modems/kernels. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you flash Aospa 4 or cm11 through TWRP? if I remember in both threads they say to flash via CWM or you'll lose your baseband. You might have to flash a total stock image via Odin to fix it.

yeah i flashed Aospa, but i did do it through CWM...for some reason my SD card wouldn't work after the update so I went to downgrade back to stock. I tried flashing from ODIN with the stock image but it was failing at the boot.img part every time. Maybe I got a bad stock image? I'll search for the stock through xda and re download and try. just sucks because it took almost two hours to download. thanks again for everyone's help.
