This has been posted several times, but I thought it might be useful for some people who may not have seen it.

To get into the Android system recovery/Samsung Recover Utils
Turn off phone, hold volume down, the power button, and the camera button at the same time to enter the recovery partition, and recover the phone
Use Volume keys to move among options, and the Home key to select

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip - Manually update from your SD card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition - Didn't do anything for me

I hope you find this to be useful information. Feel free to add other codes you have discovered, or correct any misunderstanding I may have about what a certain code does.

I added the GpsSetup hash code to my original post. I just came across this one, and it appears to be the same GpsSetup mode as found on the Vibrant. You might want to write down the default settings before you change anything, just in case.

 

[snarf77]

which one has the slot index

 

[sacwoo]

Any of these activate/update the PRL?

 

[Aero]

tested ril dump yet? what a mess

 

[bfguns]

is there a section to test the 4g hardware?

 

[KC2UUZ]

Neat! although we've seen some of these before, (the GPS one) It's still nice to have at your fingertips. This should be a sticky! hint hint.

 

[rando991]

The app "GPS Status & Toolbox" has a reset feature in it's tools menu and you won't have to change the phone setting.

Thread is officially stuck.

 

[dlwicksell]

I added the audio settings menu to my original post.

 

[MBM7881]

when you access the lcd menu test there is a button that says receiver. what does that do exactly? if i hit it what happens?

 

[rando991]

Anybody know what the GPS code is for Froyo? The one for Eclair doesn't work anymore. Maybe you don't need it with GPS Status and Toolbox reset tools working now on the Epic...

 

[Shultzbaby]

To remove screen lock and enable shutdown via long press of power button:
*#7594#
Yes this bypasses the screen lock, pressing the power button brings you straight to your phone, no annoying wallpaper flick or passcode. Youre welcome!
Woops epic 4g touch my bad

I got my msl code when I swapped phones online, they send you an email with a "6 digit code" for programming the phone manually, which just happens to bee the msl. (Sprint)
