Odin question - Epic 4G General

I have a simple question, do i need to do the dk17 modem update every time i flash a new dk17 rom? Also, should this fix GPS cause i still cant get it working. Thanks

No, you don't need to. There are various DK17 gps fixes out now, usually referenced in the OP of the ROM thread.

click the link in my signature and in the first and second post I have the steps you need to take to have it work perfectly.
i had problems with bionix final, thought about flashing the ji2 gps, though, the ji6 gps was working fine in 1.9.1. but i ended up just flashing fusion anyway and gps is back to fully functional. i know that doesn't answer your question necessarily, but i posted in the final thread about the gps and never got an answer.
so try flashing a ji2 or ji6 gps (even though final is based on ji6) or flash fusion or 1.9/1.9.1.

Viper Rom DK 17 2.8

I know there is a Dk 28 version now but I'm still kind of new to the game and want to fully understand everything b4 moving on. I was able to get viper rom dk 17 2.8 installed this wkend after a bunch of mistakes on my part. Everything seems to be working well on this version except for the fact if I go to any web page that requires me to log in. When I click on where I type in my username or password the page will force close. Seems like some sort of security issue. Is there a setting I can change or is this a limitation of DK 17 version. Thanks for your help.
For future reference, this post should go in the Question and Answers section.
That being said, DK17 is an older leak, therefore support for it is going to be minimal. It also wasn't around all that long, so devs didn't spend a huge amount of time on it. The DK28 roms are going to be more stable.
If I were you I would go to this thread : Return to Stock
- Once your phone is back to stock, root it again like you did the first time using the one click.
- Download and install the DK28 modem and pit file using Odin. Should be the same steps you took to install the DK17 modem and pit.
- Then download one of the DK28 roms, i.e. viper, bonsai, quantum. Install those from clockwork.
If you need steps explained a little better than post, but don't do anything you are unsure of, cause you don't want to turn your phone into a paper weight.

[Q] DL09 Quick Questions

Hey everyone! I hate to take up another thread but i like to be as sure as possible when it comes to messing with ODIN, since from what i understand that is where most people have likely bricked their phone.
Currently im running sonofskywalkers 2.3 rom i believe with DI01. I want to update to the newest one, which from what i understand means i need to upgrade to DL09.
My question is they say not to flash 01 stuff to over 09, so do i need to completely revert back to stock to push the new stuff since the rom i am running currently is for 01. Or am i safe to go ahead and update the radio and stuff, and boot up and get into rom manager to download the newest rom?
Thanks for your patience community and quick and helpful responses.
You are fine flashing over what you have, the issues mainly come up when you don't flash all the parts together (ROM, kernel, modem).
As far as Odin goes, as long as you use the PDA function, and not the PHONE function, you will be fine.
Edit: BTW, are you running a voodoo kernel? If so, that needs to be disabled before proceeding
For one, make sure voodoo is disabled if its on your kernal. If thats okay, then I would just odin this and then try to find a root method that would work. Or instead of rooting your stock, just flash a rooted rom onto your phone after the full odin.
BTW if you do want to keep stock, know that it can be a pain to get root to work. For some people it can be annoyingly hard, while others are able to use something simple such as the one click root. I was able to get one click to work, but it varies. If something goes wrong, you can always just re-odin the full package again.
I thought i might add here that you mentioned reading not to flash di01 stuff over dl09.
What that means is after you odin the dl09 upgrade you should no longer flash roms, kernels, themes and such that are not dl09. Flashing a di01 kernel would not work once you upgrade to dl09.
Hope this helps.
Have fun

AOSP Questions

Bear with me guys......haven't posted much on here, more of a lurker.
I have been following the AOSP Rom for the Fascinate for the last two weeks and now with the MMS working I would love to give it a shot. I have a couple of questions before I get started.
I am currently running ComRom 2.1 with the PBJ-50 Kernel. No themes or anything like that.
1. Is it safe to just do a data wipe and factory reset then just install the Rom over top of what I have?
2. Is there a Kernel and a Modem with the ROM?
3. Anything special I need to know if I decide to go back to another Rom (from what I have read just ODIN back to stock and Rom away)?
Sorry if these have been answered already.....I searched and did not find my answers. Thank you for your time.

1. I couldn't answer this with certainty as I haven't flashed it myself and haven't yet dug through the CM7 thread in development to put together correct steps
2. yes there is, but you can flash a custom kernel like OTB or the gingerbread leaks' (ec09) modem as I've seen these work though not for everyone
3. as far as I know all you need to do to go back is just odin back to eclair/froyo with the 2.2 atlas pit file and proceed from there
don't have any experience with CM7 other than what I've read so someone who's done it could probably shed more light on this

I just flashed cm7 today...
1. Data wipe, cache and factory reset should be enough. You need to download and install the 7/04 build, let it boot up and reboot back into recovery and then install the 7/13 build and then the gapps. There is also a modified cwm that you can flash to your phone that's been edited for cm7 not everyone uses it but I did and it works perfectly.
2. There is a kernel included but alot of people have better audio quality with one of the otb kernels.
There isn't a modem. But it seems like most of the newer modems are fine so your current one with comrom is probably good.
3. To do back to stock youll have to use a full odin package. But you probably won't want to anyway.

Thank you for the answers. Now I am more comfortable. Thanks.
Not sure how important it is, but I would wipe cache and dalvik as well. I used ED04 modem for a while, and switched to EC09 modem after everyone seemed to recommend it for the MTD roms. TBH, I havent noticed much difference between the 2 radios, they both worked well for me. As far as flashing back to a TW rom, check the sticky in the dev section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
I am already running the EC09 modem. Have been for about a week or so. I watched as others have had good luck with it so I made the jump. I probably will stick with the EC09 as it seems to work fine with AOSP MIUI Rom that I want to try. I tried the EC09 on my wife's fascinate and it ran like crap.....kind of funny how two different build dates run to differently.

GPS - (Firmware or Modem)?

I believe I'm having some serious GPS problems and would like to Odin GPS-Related things. Is GPS held in The Firmware or the Modem?
The page below seems to have links to both, but no description of what exactly is included in a Modem or Firmware.......

When I googled it, it said in newer phones it is kernel related. Modem in older phones.
Fixed it......Had to literally start fresh. Stock, Reroot, Reflash, the works. GPS works now. Dunno what exactly the problem was.
