Running ICS 4.0.3 on my E4GT!!! You Jelly?

[briandearing]

Was so stoked when I found this. So far, running great. Problems I was having with v1.0 (wasn't receiving texts was the only one I found I had) was fixed in 1.1. Just thought I'd spread the word and the love.

good question lol. Fixing that now....

I thought the modem was suppose to be with the ROM. Whats the latest one that would work with 4.0.3?

Your modem will only be flashed along with the ROM if your flashing a full TAR in Odin. If you use CWM to flash your ROM and/or kernel, you have to flash your modem separately. The latest modem is FB21, which you can find in Calkulin's Stock FB21 thread.

Because according to Steady who does these recovery repacks, flashing in CWM may cause bootloops. I personally use sfhub's autoroot tool to inject the new kernels, because using Odin increases your flash count and causes the yellow triangle on the boot screen.

Until sfhub updates the tool with the current kernel repack, you can either use an older kernel, or pull the zImage out of the current one and place it in the tool's kernel folder then use the generic kernel option. I know this sounds complicated but it's quite easy once you've done it once or twice.

You could flash a TAR from your sd card using Mobile Odin, but its a paid app.

Can you please post a link when it's done on here? Everything was running ok when I had the old modem. I Flashed FB21. Now, I get a few FCs on programs. Also, I was trying to look at those camera settings for @maluminse and My media scanner won't stop running. Been running for like 20 mins now. I'd appreciate it if somebody could let the devs know. I was gonna post on xda, but it wont let me since I'm a noob there lol.

 

[briandearing]

wait, I just check again and media scanner finally stopped. No, none of those options I saw

Well FB21+CWM-Rogue is a *kernel*, not a modem.

Also I've never seen a modem cause an FC.

Kernels could theoretically cause them, but I've never seen it happen on Samsung and more often than not the FCs are caused by something on the Android side rather than the linux side.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm kinda familiar with kernels, but not at all modems. I don't understand why they popped up after flashing the modem then. Maybe they will go away after flashing the one you mentioned that's coming?

My question is about the "Flash Count". What is this and does the phone only have so many times it can be "flashed"? Why is that a concern Jay? Just curious.

Whenever you flash a *kernel* not signed by Samsung using ODIN it increases the flash count and causes a yellow triangle at boot. The flash count is visible when you go into ODIN D/L mode using Power+VolDn (after turning off the phone)

The yellow triangle can be removed by flashing a stock kernel or running triangle away, but the flash count would need to be reset using a usb jig which you can bulid or buy.

Some people theorize that Samsung or Sprint might try to deny warranty claims if they see you installed non-stock software, but I don't believe they can do that legally unless they prove the changes you made caused the issue your returning the phone over.

Anyway, in practice most Sprint repair centers don't care about the ODIN flash count, but some folks feel better not attracting any attention at all with their repair claims so they don't want the yellow triangle nor the odin flash count to be greater than 0.

Some people just don't want the yellow triangle because it isn't aesthetically pleasing.

I don't believe there is an explicit limit on the number of flashes you can do, though all EMMC has a limited lifetime of writes, you may never reach the range where issues would arise.

Anyone get wireless tether to work? It worked fine with my rooted stock GB, same app not working with this. TIA

I don't think anyone has wireless tethering working yet. Once we get source and some more time I am sure the creators of the hacked hotspot app will get a new version out. As for now that is one of the downsides of using these leaks. If anyone knows better, please feel free to jump in.

 

[briandearing]

v1.2 are out now.....loving it. The only issue is battery life. I'm coming from Calk's v2.8.1 which has that battery saver script. I got 10.5 hours of CONTINUAL use (Screen about always on and constant web browsing and downloading) with my extended battery. I'm only getting like 5 now.

For those that read this, and get down to this post, I would be cautious about flashing these ICS leaks for the time being. There is something going on that is corrupting /data partitions, and even people who know a lot about Android rooting and flashing have bricked their phones. I've had no problems yet, but I plan to take extra precautions now, and I'll be flashing a full Odin EL29 restore before I go anywhere from here. It seems to be the one surefire way to make sure data wipes go smoothly and as expected.

Best to be patient and careful at this point rather than a potential frustrating exchange or JTAG service.
