[Q] [EXPERIMENTAL] Flashing the Epic 4G to Android 2.2 Froyo - Epic 4G Android Development

Would it be at all possible to flash the beta release of froyo for galaxy s to the epic using ODIN, like as on the i9000?

I really doubt it.
But hey, hit me up with the instructions and I'll help.

No. They're are too many differences between the two (drivers, modem, one being CDMA and the other GSM, etc...) to keep doing it from working.

Don't even attempt it....you wll brick your device

It didn't brick, it didn't even flash the fs all the way It stopped immediately after so much progress, and I don't really care about bricking my phone I can just reflash with odin. I'm working on editing the fs to flash on the epic. Replcing certain files with ones from the system dup.

The Bell network uses the same bands as AT&T, so the modem works out of the box.
Have not been able to get any bell users to dump the modem yet.

I'm trying to find somewhere to download the complete ROM. If the claims are as good as they say, then it might be worth rebuilding my ROM using it. Or incorporating some parts of it.

I am downloading the jk4 fw now will flash jk4 and see how it plays with cm 6.1 b3
Isn't the Development subforum a better place for this? Just sayin'.
No.
This is Modem.bin related not dev related yet.
Here it is the final i9000m froyo modem.bin
if you dont know what to do with it. Read the fuc*en forum noob.
Been using this with cm 6.1 and so far no issues

Anyone know of a place to download a JPU dump? The one on samfirmware.com is just an Odin files, and I can't seem to extract the files.

Should I update

should i update to froyo or keep it eclair ?
Depends largely on how you use the phone. Froyo brings flash to the mobile web and there might be other improvements.

Honestly, why bother with official 2.2 update? There are several outstanding froyo roms out there and they're so, so easy to flash right now, I'd guess you run a greater risk of bricking your phone messing with Ota or kies (although I can't say for sure, since I never bother flashing stock 2.2).
Just browse dev. section.

I too think you should go with a custom rom. To answer your question I remember hearing there were some issues with the drivers for the 64 bit version of windows 7. My guess is that is where your problem is. Try reinstalling the drivers

If the phone is freezin and you haven't done anything to it. It might be a good idea to take it back and get a new one before you do anything. Flashing a custom rom might take care of the problem or there might be something broken hardware wise.
You don't really need to root the device in order to flash it. But, I think it's good to learn how to do it, anyway. I think there are some basic skills everyone should know before flashing the phone:
- different ways to get into recovery and download mode;
- how to use odin;
- how to issue adb commands;
- how to root and install clockworkmod recovery;
- what's a jig and how to make it;
Among other things. Even though, you can flash most roms just by naming the zip file update.zip and using 2e recovery.

^ What he said. READ READ READ and then READ some more.
After you understand what you are doing, I'd recommended flashing one of the Android 2.2.1 "FroYo" i9000 ROMs with an appropriate i9000 reoriented kernel and modem.
CM7 (Android 2.3.3 "Gingerbread") isn't quite ready for a beginner user to flash yet, and the same goes for the beta 2.3.3 i9000 based ROMs beginning to float around the Captivate Development section.
IMHO, you'll find your phone responds much faster with FroYo, you'll get better battery life, and access to a wider range of apps in the market (since many require 2.2+). Not to mention some other goodies like Flash 10.2, Voice Search, and the latest versions of Google Maps and GMail.
For more info on the differences between Android versions, and whether or not you'll get more out of your phone, check out the Wikipedia article on Android versions.
I agree froyo is a lot faster but i am using purplelicious with onix kernel 1.6
overclocked at 1.3. Excellent benchmark.

[Q] Help with Gingerbread installation...

Okay I literally just got this phone yesterday and I see all this talk about Gingerbread and how great it is so I decided I want to try it. I know next to nothing about all the technicalities about this phone so I youtube'd how to do it and found this video that I plan to use to help me in the process. - watch?v=YuURgkUYn1A
So if I follow that process and use the files he uses, I should have Gingerbread and still have my connection to AT&T, GPS, and WiFi? Also, when AT&T finally does release it officially, will I be able to just go to Software Update on the menu and get the official AT&T Firmware and not have to worry about all this technical stuff again?

Try THIS link out, its got pretty much everything you want to know to get started(including vids). The only things that don't work on GB currently HDMI and on some of the roms, bluetooth. If you want to get the official OTA when it drops you will have to go back to stock, easiest way is to use THIS method. Also when GB does drop, Devs most likely will make their own roms based on the official GB.
Once your rooted and have recovery installed use THIS thread to find the ROM you want...
This is just a rough overview, so make sure you READ carefully and take your time, any question you have is usually answered in the appropriate thread.
Here is a link to the latest AT&T Gingerbread leak. Use Odin to flash it, and if you stick with the included stock kernel, everything works as it should. It looks very close to being ready for release. If you want it rooted, flash Entropy's kernel and then use CWM recovery and the Superuser zip you can find on here to install su. Then, flash the stock kernel again to keep everything working (video, bluetooth, etc.).:

Agreed, but in your earlier post, you gave some good links that show how to get started. If he reads the information in those threads, and tries out rooting stock Froyo, installing the modified recovery, and flashing some custom roms, that post shouldn't be too hard to follow.

So, you have a custom kernel with CWM and everything working with UCKK4 in catyrom?
I figured we would have to wait until AT&T / Samsung released their Gingerbread source to compile a completely working kernel. Can you point me in the direction of a custom kernel w/ CWM that has video and everything working in stock rooted UCKK4?
Yes..that was then this is now...lol...with some mods to some jars and framework it will work...learned that myself...

That's legit Dman, it seems you learn a new trick on a daily basis; ports, roms and now kernels. I'm loving how the infuse development is still kickin!
So back on topic lol. Xia, Dman's CatyRom is one of the most recent GB roms (and plenty more), it's based off of the leaks from At&t. Once your ready, look into that!
Edit: Nevermind my question, dman, thanks anyway for what you're doing.
To the OP, a good AOSP Gingerbread rom that I keep coming back to is Serendipity VII. I hope that MikeyMike will still come back to update that one when we get the official AT&T Gingerbread.
You can find that here.: http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/

Kies will have to be thru att...chat w/ support. I'm sure a fix is on the way.
You can get more info here:
Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475414
you won't brick this phone. as for the cappy you can thank Samsung and design gears for that. Samsung put out numerous builds of bootloaders that weren't compatible with each other. some didn't have working 3button combos. design gear figured out that he could flash the secondary bootloaders in an update.zip with bmlwrite to fix 3 buttons and started bakery mg it into roms. also the later captivates were not compatible with the early bootloaders and would brick with the oneclick Odin.
there haven't been too many legitamately hardbricked infuses. maybe some that the owners gave up on but no real hardbricks. out devs leaned the bootloaders lessons before and the infuse has fewer bootloaders and no packages that lack the compatible primary bootloader to the secondary bootloader except uckh1 which is froyo, so never flash from gingerbread to the kh1 build of froyo.

[Q] Bricked my phone

Hello,
First of all I'm a n00b at this, so bear with me.
I have a SAMSUNG GALAXY S phone that came with FROYO 2.2.1. I tried upgrading to CM9 following the instructions in cyanogenmod full update guide wiki.
I encountered a few problems though:
1. That guide is for Android 2.3+, so I had to go to the Samsung website and upgrade the firmware to GINGERBREAD.
2. Apparently, my phone doesn't go into download mode by using the side buttons. So I had to do it using ABM.EXE.
Finally, I was able to install CWM Recovery 2.5 using heimdall. I wiped out data/factory reset, cache partition and Dalvik cache. I go to the download folder to install CM9 nighlty zip and I get a STATUS 7 error.
Now my phone doesn't even load. WHAT DO I DO?!!!!!!
Fancy paperweight
Do you have a Samsung t959v or t959? If its t959 ur in the wrong forum and if u have a t959v then you flashed a rom meant for another phone.
If you have a t959v and can get to rec or download mode then try flashing kj6 one click but seems like you don't have this phone.
