New to epic =) - Epic 4G General

hello just got my new epic 4g about 3 hours ago i just came from the samsung mesmerize and before that i was on captivate so far i am loving the epic (because of the keyboard) well i was looking at roms and things seem really different compared to the mesmerize... the rom i was looking at was the Frankenstein FROYO rom and i am looking forward to pick up and test out that rom but the thing is i am a little confuse on some of the things it wants me to do like the whole DK28 modem thing and the convert to ext4 system..... what is this stuff about? and also the whole No Journaling thing? so far i am rooted and thats about it on my phone where should i start lol

Welcome! I also use Frankenstein ROM.

Ok. The dk28 is our froyo leak that we have. If you go into settings and about phone and look at the baseband version that tells you your modem version. If you update to dk28 then the baseband version should say dk28. If you update to dk28 using Odin to flash the rom it will automatically update your modem. The ext4 thing is changing our filesystem from stock Rfs to ext4 which is a lot faster. When you update to dk28 use the one click root with clockwork mod version 3 and once finished boot into cwm by using power down,camera and power button and the cwm3 will automatically convert your filesystem to ext4. The no journaling mod speeds up the phone by about 15%. Having journaling is enabled to protect your data. If you bare in the middle of something and your battery dies it is there to protect it. Now when you disable it you just gave to be careful to Jake sure your battery doesn't die while your doing something cause it could corrupt your data. I've been using it for almost a month and I haven't gad any trouble. Good luck. Anymore questions just ask.

Welcome! Glad to hear you are enjoying the Epic so far. I use MeatROM. It works really well, especially with ext4.

Musclehead hit everything spot on, though I'm not sure exactly how much no journaling speeds up your processing capability. I'm on Viperrom Frozen, which uses EXT4 and flashes through CWM3. I think it's terrific. Tried Bonsai but it was too stock for my taste. It's a barebones, clean deal with Bonsai. I go more for the theme and baked in stuff personally.

so im a little lost here i am following this guide to upgrade to 2.2 http://briefmobile.com/how-to-update-sprint-epic-4g-to-android-2-2?cp=5
when i try the first way it says update verification failed
and the 2nd way in odin says SPH-D700-DK8-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 is invaild and then end sooo im a little stuck here and when i use the one click root with CWM3 it wont boot into the CWM it still stays in the standered manger

now i am stuck even more i got CWM3 to install and right after it it turned my phone into a ext4 system it wont boot and stays on the samsung screen =/ and i have the update.zip on my sd card but it is still giving me a error saying error 7

If you run CWM3/Ext4 on your 2.1 install it will bork and get stuck on the Samsung screen. CWM3/Ext4 only works with DK28.
I don't know if you could apply a zip via CWM3 (while installed on 2.1) or not, I would wager you couldn't... but since the DK28 update should apply all the changes as you would by flashing I'm not sure.
The proper process is DK28, then CWM3/Ext4, then rom.
If your DK28 tar file is giving an error in Odin before you even try to apply it, download it again and retry; something got messed up in your download most likely.

ok got my phone to go back to stock 2.1 with the odin way soo gonna try and download the dk28 file again and see where that takes me

Yeah give that a go if the new file checks OK, odin it to get to 2.2 (or you could download the update.zip if it is still floating around out there and install it via the samsung recovery). Boot it up and get your gmail configured etc, then go to debugging mode and run CW3 again.
Reboot into CWM3 and let it finish, then it should boot right up to the phone again. The pick a rom (if you want one) and apply it in CWM3. Just make sure the rom is compatible with ext4 and CWM3. Some are compatible with neither, some with ext4 but not CWM3. It usually says in the thread title which it is.

ok redownloaded it and installed my settings says i have 2.2 and the baseband says DK28 and did the CWM3/ext4 and now im stuck at the same samsung screen again

After you ran the CWM3 batch file, did you reboot into CWM3 to let it finish the installation (down volume, camera, power button at same time to turn the phone on)?
If yes, did it complete without errors?

this is what i am doing right after i installed the DK28 file i started my phone and used the oneclickCWM3 root it went thru fine and started up fine so i reset it and did the whole cam,power,volume down stuff and then it went into CWM and was updating my file system to EXt4 and then after it said complete it restarted and then just hangs in the samsung logo

At the CWM3 menu, you have to install a ROM from zip file.

ok everything is good just need to know if my undervolt took in dont know how i find out about that

So you got past the cwm3 conversion? Yeah you needed to flash a rom or it would get stuck. What undervolt mod are you talking about? What rom did you flash?

I did the franken rom it said that it had the undervolt option in it so I downloaded that and threw it in with the rom

I may have killed my Vibrant (i kno...wrong sec but my thread is in the rom bible)

i need help...my vibrant is sitting at a blk screen after odining the stock jfd.tar . i had had voodoo lagfix and a market lagfix on there earlier and i dnt think i took it off correctly bcuz i was late to class but shouldnt odin take care of thatif i selected repartition and the stock jfd.tar file?...could it be that its still setup as EXT4 and not rfs like it should be when its stock? now i JUST noticed that it will only boot completely if i load a custom rom despite using odin to revert to stock. what happens is that it boots to the tmobile pink square but no sound, when the galaxy S screen comes on, then the tmo sound comes on (late), then the screen goes blk w/ the touch buttons lit. in order for it to boot i have to flash the root update in clockwork, reboot, then flash a ROM, reboot....have i done somethin wrong? why wont it boot when i odin it?
you need to disable the voodoo fix before you do anything, because its like you said, it still assumes its ext4. In odin its trying to flash its looking for rfs partition. If its too late to disable voodoo, you may want to try flashing one of the 2.2 ROMs through Odin, those seem to fix all bricks (non JTAG bricks that is), and brings phones back to life. If you use a 2.2 i recommend Eugenes very first one where you don't have to mess with kernels and such

I had the same issues. Here's what I understand. Voodoo changes the filesystem to ext4, as you know. But RFS can't read that. For some reason, the kernel doesn't flash properly because it still sees the ext4 partition.
So here's what I did to fix. Pain in the arse, but it works.
In ODIN, Flash Eugene's Froyo that does not brick ROM in the bible
When that is complete the recovery will come up and there will be some errors. That's ok. We don't want this one.
THEN flash RFS (you should already have it) from the bible.
SHOULD be good to go. Like I said, it's dumb that you have to go through that, but it is what it is. I did it 4 times in 5 hours using trial and error. I know this method works.
Good luck!
in adb, i ran "adb shell", "mount" and i checked the "/dev/block/" and it said "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data_tmo rfs rw,nosuid,nodev,vflat,llw,check=no,gid/uid/rwx,iocharset=utf8 0 0". so i think its rfs..i think lol is there a command in adb that can disable the lagfix?
is the RFS file ur talkin about, "s1_odin_20100512.pit" ?? or is it somethin else?
I agree, flash to froyo that does not brick, then flash back to the original firmware, not leaked updates. I have had great luck with checking repartition when flashing froyo, keep it checked when flashing back to stock. Then uncheck it and flash the stock rom a second time.

No, the problem is probably mmcblk0p4 a.k.a /data being and ext4 filesystem, but if you flashed the stock kernel the phone won't be able to mount /data since it won't understand the ext4 filesystem... and THAT's the problem.

that pit file just tells Odin how to setup the partition tables... its the actual .tar file that contains the .rfs install files... if you can get into Clockwork and install a custom ROM, then you can disable the voodoo lag fix, and reflash the stock kernel so you can go back to stock
or
like everyone else has mentioned go to froyo, then go to stock
If you can get into clockwork, just flash the flashable zip version of the froyo Rom. Accidentally forgot to disable voodoo when I flashed it earlier. What do ya know, the ROM booted all the way up. That will work without odin. Given that it wasn't a fluke and u have access to clockwork still. If not odin is your only option. Point blank.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9742964/Vibrant_Frankin_Twiz_Update3.zip
thats eugene373's Frankin-Twiz3 custom ROM preloaded with JACs Voodoo kernel, just flash through Clockwork and it'll install the voodoo fix again so you can disable it
If it doesn't help you, it may help others in a similar situation.

I'm probably asking for it, but ...
How is this thread "in the rom bible"? You messed up in some manner, didn't quite understand exactly what you were doing, you don't fully understand what a fstab is or how partitions really matter, sure, I understand that. But why does this warrant a thread: yeah, that's a bit beyond me ...
After reading several other threads promoting self-policing, why oughtn't it be sought here.?! If the only reason that this thread is offered a place in dev is because there is a mention of ext4, then we are all in trouble.
I've been flamed and chastised before for my views, but if no one polices, then who will? Is your question really geared toward the development of something Android related? Then perhaps you have a valid thread. But if it's not genuinely development related, why are you posting here?!
disable-lagfix in an update.zip
This article has a link to install the disable-lagfix with an update.zip file. If you have access to recovery I suggest you use that.

what method did you say you were using to install the .zip files?
clockworkmod
Which ROM are you trying to install? Sounds like you might be installing a ROM for DI18 or DK17 (I did something like this the first time I tried flashing).
Quantum ROM v2.5.0
Quantum 2.5.0 is modified to use the ext4 file system, and to be able to use it, you need to do other stuff first to convert it to ext4 from rfs before you can flash and use Quantum 2.5.0. If you dont want to deal with all the extra work, just flash Quantum 2.1.0 or some other DK28 Froyo rom.
If you do feel like messing around with all the extra steps, go to this thread [MOD] Epic4G EXT4 Support [Froyo Only] [No More RFS!][Updated/Fixed] (also accessible through the Epic 4G Development section) and follow the steps there

Problem after installing the wrong Voodoo version

My brother and I both have a Vibrant. He broke his so I loaned him mine for a week. While he had mine (which I've upgraded to 2.2), he installed Android 2.1 Voodoo 4 on it. Little to say, after rebooting, the phone wasn't booting past the boot screen.
I've now followed some instructions from the forum, and have reflashed my phone with Eugene's non-bricking ROM through Odin. The phone boots up just fine now. However, I am trying to install ROM Manager on the phone, so I can reflash my recovery ROM (non Voodoo) - and the Android market tells me it can't install the app due to not having enough free space - though I have over 1GB.
I am guessing this is because the internal disk is still setup in the Voodoo file system, and just enough space was repartitioned for the OS to go back on.
Can anyone help me restore my phone?
EDIT: I've also tried flashing a different recovery ROM through ODIN (with repartition), which also wouldn't let me get past the bootup screen.
I'm taking a wild guess here, I seriously don't know, but did you click repartition in Odin? I think that's would work, but like I said, I'm not completely sure.
I didn't repartition for the Eugene rom fix (as per the instruction I read), but did when I tried to load another version ontop of that.
I was in the Voodoo chatroom, and was able to get some help. It sounds like I need to download a stock ROM and then reset my file partition to get rid of the EXT4 partition, and reset it all to the default.
I have Eugene's "non bricking" rom, but I don't think that's what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I need and how to do this?
Just search for the stock Odin images and flash back. They should be in a sticky. I would repartition as well.
I am trying to find a stock version I can ODIN flash. Do you know where I can get one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I've gone through ODIN, done a reflash to the stock firmware, and repartitioned the phone as well.
Now, when I boot the phone up, I get the T-Mobile screen and the Galaxy S screen, and then the phone goes black (with no lights on) and doesn't go any further. My phone has been sitting on the desk like this for 20 minutes now.
I am wondering if this is like when moving to Voodoo, it takes a while to change the format to EXT4, is the phone having to go back to the default?
I 1am into the same problem with the old voodoo. What you'll need to do is flash back to stock via odin. Ur apps memory will be real low. Flash an old 2.1 voodoo. Let it do its thing once booted put a disable voodoo file into the folder and reboot. It will be ok after that. Hope that makes sense.

Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far
I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.
I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.

I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.

help(resolved)

Hey I just seriously screwed my self over bassicly I tried to get miui to boot from the samsung fascinate however when I installed it in cmr it spassed out then powered of then went to the bootloader and I get a red error message saying can't mount data or something so then I tried to reinstall Eco 3 Odin using Odin and it worked it booted but it says I have zero data on my phone and I can't install anything. I also tried the oneclick soft unbricker but it fails saying adb divers are not installed when they are. I'm doing this on my phones browser witch is the only thing that seems to be working right now I also tried a band restore but I got the same data error message.
Have you tried restoring to DL17 and then re-upgrading to 2.2?
And how about a good old odin flash?
In worst case, I would ask imnuts for the full odin package, or use a fascinate full odin package to get you off your feet, then reflash the modem, and recovery, then wipe In recovery cyan cwm... Then flash ec03

He is on a Continuum, but you can use a fascinate Odin package to reformat partitions if they get messed up, then just reflash recovery and start fresh if you can get in then... That wasn't a really good thing though to suggest to a newcomer necessarily, so thank you for pointing that out
okay heres what happened firts i wanted to see if i could get the miui rom for the samsung fascinate to boot on the continuum there pretty much the same phone minus the ticker and screen size so i went into clockwork mod and wiped everything then went to install zip from sd card and clicked on the miui rom witch was the process we always used on the hero. then after i clicked on it, it started to install then my screen started shacking and my phone turned off. when i turned it back on it when to the bootloader and a red error message poped up saying
e:cant mount /dev/blockstill(invalid argument
and when i go to recovery it says the same thing when i try to wipe/restore nand it says the same thing. so at that point i powered off and went to download mode and reinstalled eco3 odin using pda mode on odin and it worked then it rebooted and i got to the set up screen and i got 2 force closes daily brefeing and something else i went ahead and skipped all that stuff and it loaded fine after that. however now for some reason it says i have zero system memory so i cant install any apps or save data however it does recognize my sd card but i cant install to sd card. so bassicly the phone functions just no internal memory. at this point i honestly dont know what to do everything on the hero was simple and straight forward and we never ran into these kind of problems. ive also tried to restore my nands and reinstall clockwork mod but still no dice. what i need to do now i guess is get the necessary files to go completely stock and see if that helps. and if someone could point me in the direction to those files i would really aprechiate it. oh and i tried the one click unbricker it sayed success but didnt really do anything.
oh and i know trying to install miui was stupid but i was just wanting to see if it would boot lol.
Download the PIT file in the Development forum, as well as the DL17 Odin package from the FAQ of the EC03 post I made. Flash the DL17 in PDA, with the PIT, and re-partition selected. After that, you should be back on DL17, and can do whatever you want from there.
huzzza!!!
thank god that worked thank yall so much i still cant believe that just happened but restoring the stock odin image worked and all is well. so i guess tommorow i can reroot and restore my nand.
once again thank yall for the help.
