I'm having nothing but problems with this update. Feels like samsung just took dk28 and renamed it eb13. I went back to di18 from dk28 so that my phone can work properly thinking that eb13 would be worth the wait but nooooooooo now I'm back to frustration I felt using dk28. Damn samsung did y'all even try to test this or did y'all just rename and called it official?

I installed EB13 using the windows installer, which totally wipes the phone and I'm having none of those problems. Not knowing how you installed the update it's hard to know what happened but perhaps clearing the caches would help.
i used odin which does a full wipe and im having no issues. im loving this
I updated using the .exe file on the Samsung site and I'm not having any of the issues you listed. And after wiping my memory card it would appear my issues with my media files are gone as well...
Sounds like you should wipe, reinstall and see what happens.
I updated no problem...and ill be damned....I can play farmvile on my phone now...FML

The more I'm reading the more it sounds like the safest, cleanest way to go is the full flash/wipe. I guess I'll have to test how good my data backups are after all...

Basically the full Sammy installer through a PC *sounds* like it will do it. But the recovery boot menu also has an option for clearing the cache and I wonder if that is good to do also before that, just to be thorough.

I think that's true about the full wipe method. The update.zip method assumes that you've got a fully stock phone that you haven't messed around with. That assumption doesn't work all that well with the types who visit xda.
On the plus side, I was using a DK28 rom (quantum) and did a backup in clockwork. After I did the "full wipe" (.exe) method and then did the old 1-click to get root and clockwork back, I was able to go to "advanced" restore in clockword and restore just my data. It worked absolutely perfectly.
Please...please. I beg of you haha. Explain howexactly I would wipe my phone so that I would be able to get te update. I was fooling around and deleted the nascar app and because of this I'm not able to dowload it without and error messege.

sleven, you really should do some reading on the forums and you could easily figure it out: [GUIDE] How To Update Your Samsung Epic 4G to Official "EB13" Android 2.2.1 in the Epic 4G Android Development forum is a pretty damn good place to start. I'd use the Last Resort (Easiest) method if I were you, since you don't seem to be big on figuring things out. CAUTION!!! All three methods listed here will reset your phone to stock, though they will leave your SD card and it's contents alone.
If you want to "upgrade" rather than do a clean install so that you can save your settings & programs, follow this guide:
Download the update.zip file from http://www.multiupload.com/K1MHLS6SNX
Boot into recovery by
Power off your phone
Hold [Volume Down] + [Camera] + [Power] until you're in recovery
Clear cache 3x
Apply update.zip

Droid, from what I understand the "full Sammy installer" completely reformats the partitions and installs a fresh copy of EB13 on Epics. However, I know there's a number of people who recommend booting into recovery (stock or CWM) and clearing the caches 3x in a row. I haven't always done that, but it does seem to clear up a lot of issues that people are having, especially if they flash with Odin / Heimdall.

sleven, I guess I'm taking pity on you, cuz here's a guide to fix your little problem. Be advised, you'll need to have root privileges and a file manager that can navigate root, such as Root Explorer. If you need help getting rooted, see One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!
In the Wiki, check out All *.apks & Framework / Apps safe to remove
Download the Epic System Apps.rar file from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=20HJ9004
Unrar it with 7zip, Winrar, Winzip, etc.
Find the Nascar app you deleted and copy it to /system/app
As long as your /system/app folder is identical to the Epic System Apps folder from the .rar (it's ripped straight from a phone), you should be good to follow the guide I gave you in my previous post. Good luck!
Credit where credit is due: obviously I linked to many other people's guides, wikis, etc. Thanks a lot, cuz that's how I learned to do all this!
I didn't wipe and I have no problems at all. All I did was install and run gps status and now I get instant lock even in my house. It think it is going to take awhile for everyone to get use to the setting.

With some people around here you might need to clarify that you mean to wipe the phone, not wipe with the phone....
Everything has been better than 2.1 for me (GPS, browser, etc), except bluetooth. Bluetooth still can't connect in my car.
If bluetooth would work, this ROM would be perfect.

at first my GPS seemed to be much faster and more accurate (locked into 2 meters!) but now this morning I can't seem to get a lock at all...wtf???
I used samsungs pc installer by the way. Maybe I'll try using Odin instead today...
other than that, which is a huge other, the ROM is running great. I did have to root and run the manual sensor calibration utility though to fix the screen lag
edit: Just did a battery-pull reboot and all seems to be well in epic FROYO land.
Hello I installed the Europeand ROM with Fastboot my phone won't call. 3G does work but I can't make nor receive calls. How do I fix that? I've tried most ROMs and none of them worked.

It was on the stock ROM from a local carrier in Argentina. Turned out it only rejects SIM cards from one carrier. I tried with a different carrier and it worked just fine. Then tried with a different SIM card but from my same carrier and it didn't work. It's very rare

If I have to end up taking it in for an insurance claim what should I do. Unroot and use triangle away. Then tell them my problems. I really don't know what to do here.

Sorry , you're unlucky man. You just wipe all partitions including EFS (IMEI/baseband lost). Only thing is sending the phone to Samsung service and maybe they will change the motherboard or reflash it. No ROM/firmware contains those hidden partitions so flashing your own will not help .

I think that your phone is quite messed up, from the installation point of view.
You have to try to get totally back to stock.
Get your FW from sammobile (the one that matches country, operator, etc). Get stock recovery. Install both, then do (several) factory resets. It should work....
I would not go on very high level workarounds (reinstall PIT< etc), as you might totally brick your phone.

I had same issue on mine but mine is all stock (for now). I had to go back to the settings and pick network operator again in order for it to pick up the network again.
Well I got it fixed. I had to fully unroot then run triangle away and then take it to the sprint store. All they did was a hard reset (not a factory reset but something with their computer) and everything was back to normal. Whew thought I was going to have to get a new phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
hi, did you check first in your apn list if the settings were present (connexions - more networks - mobile networks - access point names )? If not present check on your operator website to get the information needed. Normally It should have helped you with this problem
Yeah I messed with that for hours. In many different roms. I think I did every thing I possibly could except for hard reset.

Okay, so I was listening to a YouTube video via Popup Browser BETA. When the song finished, I tried closing the window, but it wouldn't let me interact with the window. Not sure why. I just figured since the app was in beta it was just confused, so I went to the settings->running applications->I force closed the app. But for some reason, the little window still wouldn't go away. So I decided to reboot my device. Bad idea, apparently...
Now whenever I boot up my phone it'll vibrate, display the Google logo for a few seconds, and then... it goes to a blank black screen. Not a clue why. I've tried:
- Leaving it to charge and rebooting
- Leaving it in the blank black screen
- Booting into recovery, then trying to reboot the device from there
- Clearing cache partition
Nothing works. I still can't boot up my phone again.
I'm running Slimbean 4.2.1 (not the latest version). There really isn't anything that might have triggered this. I can still charge my phone (the charging animation still occurs) and I can still go into CWM Recovery. I'd really rather not have to install a new ROM or anything... but if I have to, is there a way to extract the data I have on my phone now while in recovery or something?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This has been FIXED. Moderators, if you see this, you can close this thread. If anyone else has this problem, try reflashing your current version of your ROM, that's how I fixed mine. I'm not responsible for damage to your device.
Why haven't you tried reflashing your rom without wiping data?

No way of corrupting your data, as long as you don't select to wipe data partition or data is already corrupted. But this is strange that your phone gone crazy like this. Try to reflash your rom without wiping data and see if your phone will boot up

I've not got enough free space on my phone I don't think (it's only 16GB, I got about 2GB free).
Unless I'm mistaken the backup will take more than that, yes? Considering I've got a few games apps that probably equate to about 4GB.

Reflash the same version you were running before this accident, as the newest version requires clean flash. If you want to run the latest version and have your data back, reflash the same version you were running before, then backup your data, wipe phone, flash the latest version and restore your data

Yes either that or perhaps switch to a new one, I've been with semi-stock Android for quite a while now I'm really liking the port of MIUI V5...
Hey, I could really use some guidance here. I'll present the information as simply as I can:
I bought a Galaxy s4 AT&T a few days ago. I've been interested in rooting and flashing different roms, but I think I may have done a bit too much.
I rooted using the motochopper method - great, worked like a charm.
I made a backup of my original rom using CWM. I even took that backup and saved a copy of it on my Mac - perfect.
I thought I'd try Cyanogenmod 10.1, so I downloaded the latest nightly build and flashed it using CWM - so far so good.
Everything was working fine, but my LTE (or any data) was not working at all. I could use Wifi, but once I turned wifi off, I had no data, no gps, no 3g, no 4g, no LTE. I tried the *#*#4636*#*# method, the LTEOnOff app, and changing my APN based on the recommendations provided in this thread - I just couldn't get it to work.
I thought I'd try restoring my original backup, but when I went into CWM to do so, it said that my backup could not be found...(I still have a backup on my computer, just in case)
I needed my phone to work, and badly needed LTE to do so. So, I downloaded this rom: [ROM] CleanROM 1.0 -★| Clean and Smooth! | The Way Nature Intended! |★-
So far, this rom was working fine - it's just a debloated version of TouchWiz - which I like. But, here's my problem now - If my phone reboots, it stays frozen on the Samsung logo (with unlocked lock logo underneath), and I can't get past it. I'd have to go BACK into recovery, and flash the CleanROM all over again, and set my phone up as new with all data wiped.
I really need my phone to work again, and I don't know where to go from here. What options do I have left? What can I do to get out of that frozen Samsung loading screen? Can't I just reset my phone to the way it was? Can't the CM10.1 rom work with LTE?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Your best option is to flash the stock MDB firmware via odin . After you get the PASS on Odin go ahead and manually boot into stock recovery and wipe data factory reset again then reboot. You will have to re root and reinstall recovery but this will take care of any issues you had from a bad flash.

Having the same issue so I figured I'd give these steps a shot. Followed them exactly and phone (AT&T S4, TWRP) would won't even reboot the first time into CleanROM. I'm stuck on the Samsung screen with the lock.
edit: I've noticed that now, when I reboot into TWRP, it prompts me for a password. Hitting cancel takes me to the regular home screen, but I had not been getting the password prompt before attempting to install CleanROM. A permissions issue, perhaps?
edit 2:
I've just spent some time trying a bunch of things with bits of good luck surrounded with tons of bad. Below are the steps I've taken to try to get CleanROM to boot (and reboot) without any issues. Hopefully they help figure out the issues we're having.

I can't speak for OP, but I was hoping there was another way to rectify what has already been done without flashing stock seeing as how I'm on OSX. If that's the only option, then so be it.
Hey. Thanks for the feedback in this thread. I flashed factory through Odin, and everything is working fine. I then factory reset my phone through factory recovery. I'm back to standard touchwiz with all the bloat lol.
I'm going to wait until there a more stable release of cm10.1 - that was a good rom.
Appreciate all the help people!

Your best bet is do what "cataligh" mentioned... flash back to stock via odin...

When you flashed cm10 it probably wipe the internal sdcard, you should ALWAYS do you backups to the extsdcard...period.

As I mentioned before starting over is always the Best and Safe way to go. Shortcuts will only cause you headaches and possibly get you a brick that is why you see Odin stock threads. Do yourself a favor and start over I know it sucks but when your modifying your phones its gonna happen once in awhile.

Yeah, data was enabled - and I was using ATT LTE apn settings that I found on these forums. I made sure to use the right now. Plus, when I rebooted my phone, it got stuck on the Samsung lock screen again...
Juuuuust ODINed back to factory right now for the second time :crying:
Was it these settings:

Yes, those were the exact settings that I used. Is it possible that I could have a defective phone or sim card?
Right now, I am on factory touchwiz with root enabled, and my phone is working perfectly fine. I can reboot, use LTE, everything. The problem starts when I load any CM or AOKP rom...
