Hi, I am new, and it seems I cannot post to the midNight ROM thread with this question.
I have a Epic and am somewhat new to installing ROM's on phones, but I am generally competent. Anyway...
After reading around a bit, I installed Clockwork Mod v2.5.5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Then I installed Clockwork Mod v3.0.0.5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612
Next I installed the plain BYOR version of midNight v3.2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903984
At this point, the phone booted and appeared to work. I made and received a few texts and made a call.
Then, I attempted to add some of the extras to the midNight ROM, as described in the video. I added AOSP Lock Screen, all the ring tone packages, Gingerbread Keyboard, Google Apps, Sprint Voicemail, Voice Recorder, and Voice Search.
I installed this through CW3, but I neglected to reset any of the user data or caches.
After the install, the phone started. However, what appears to be happening is that Airplane mode is constantly being turned on and off, so I never get a connection and cannot make or receive calls or texts (also seems to devour the battery).
I've attempted re-installing both the plain BYOR midNight and my modified zip several times to no avail.
I can flash the stock ROM back on with Odin, and then everything works fine.
But if I try to install the plain BYOR midNight ROM at that point, I still end up with the cycling Airplane mode.
Any ideas what's going on? It definitely worked the first time, and when I go back to stock it works.
I have the same thing going on. Epic 4G, flashed to Midnight 3.3, seems to work, except that Airplane mode toggles rapidly, so I don't seem to ever connect to the network. Where the network indicator should be, I have a "no" symbol and when when you visit "Settings|Wireless and network", all of the options except "Tethering" and "VPN settings" are flickering rapidly.
Any pointers?
Did you guys ever wipe before flashing. Im not teLly sure this applys to android but try flashing with your radio on meaning airplane mode should be off.
My radio was definitely on when I began the process (not in airplane mode).
I wiped the following:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced
.Wipe Dalvik Cache
.Wipe Battery Stats
Should that have been everything?
I have now gone through it a couple of times and the result is the same. No network, Airplane mode flickering.
Okay, I have now taken the phone back to a completely stock 2.1 and attempted the Midnight 3.3 flash, twice. Each time, I made sure it was completely operational and working well in 2.1, including having the radio on/not in airplane mode.
Each time, I have checked off the steps as I have gone, including the wipes, with the same results. What appears to be a good flash, but no radio/flickering in and out of airplane mode.
Has anyone got a copy of 3.2 laying around that I could try? I am pretty well set on this rom, but obviously the radio needs to work.
Thanks for any replies.
I spotted an interesting thread on another forum, but it won't let me post a link here.
It says:
In my case I think the problem was caused by trying to go from eclair to midnight rom. I'm guessing that midnight doesn't install any radios or modems and the eclair versions don't work with it.

And
You're right in the fact that it d/n install the dk28 modem, so you cannot go directly from di18.

Does that sound right? If so, what would the fix be?
Some additional information:
This also happens with the Bonsai ROM, so it's not specific to the Midnight ROM.
I AM able to get the phone in full airplane mode, at which point the flickering in and out of service stops.
Any suggestions from anyone? From the looks of it, I am blocked from installing custom roms on my phone, until I can figure out why it has no radio when they are installed.
Okay, I can't post in the main thread to ask how, but I spotted this buried in there:
To those with the "no network" issue all you need to do is odin the dk28 modem. That will fix it. This is a dk28 bug...

Could someone give me a pointer on where to find "the dk28 modem" for flashing? If so, maybe I can self heal.
Okay, I self healed.
I used Odin to install the DK28 modem and now I have full network. Thanks for letting me ask the questions here. If anyone digs up this thread and needs a hand with the same problem, just give a shout and I will try to return the favor by helping out.
Off to go enjoy my Midnight 3.3 Epic 4G

Can you do a quick outline on how you fixed your phone with odin? I am having the same problem you had. Thx.

Sure thing.
Once I had a successful flash of Midnight 3.3, other than the radio not working, I chased down a package that had the following in it:
Odin3+v1.61.exe
victory_8G_100528.pit
modem.tar
With the phone off, I held down the "1" on the physical keyboard and powered it up.
That puts the phone in "Dowload" mode, with a distinctive screen.
At that point, I plugged in the phone to the computer via USB and waited for it to be detected.
Once Odin showed that it saw the phone, I loaded the .pit file into the PIT dialog in Odin and the tar file into the PDA area.
Once I pressed "Start", it took about two-minutes and showed a successful status, then the phone rebooted and all was well.
You might have to search a bit to find the files, but once I knew what I was looking for, it only took a couple of searches to find them.
Good luck!
So I downloaded the heinz 57 rom with the steel blue theme. Everything seems to be working, except the home screen transition effects. Like the book flip. I tried flashing a different theme and reflashing the rom. Any ideas?

If you are trying to use the LED as a flashlight try instant heart rate from the market. can't be left on while you multi task and probably is a huge batt drain but works great for both purposes...2ยข

I'm having no issues with my flashlight app. I use Tiny Flashlight
The only issues ive had with Heinz57 is that I cant get the clock on the status bar to change any color but black. And sometimes the market does some weird things, and force closes. So I am having trouble downloading apps/games.
EDIT
I fixed the color issue by restarting my phone after I changed the settings. That worked.
Im still having trouble with the market though. I will try to reflash my phone and see what happens.
Is anyone else having that issue on Heinz57?
my setup
EC10 with root and recovery
CWM 2.5
Heinz57 v4.40.11
OTB Reloaded v 1.3
so far 0 problems whatsoever and its faster than hell. if you dont match this setup. try it. its been literally flawless for me.
i cant get Heinz57 to install. i got the latest update version (5/3/11) and i also completely wiped my phone all the way back to stock (Froyo 2.2) and i have followed directions to a T. but my problem is when i select the zip file to install the ROM from the red recovery it gets to "Installing Update..." and just freezes. the loading bar does nothing and the phone is useless. any suggestions?

My guess is that you aren't waiting long enough. This Rom takes a little longer than most to install.
how long should i be waiting? i can run the EC10 PnP v0.3 ROM with no problems but when i want to switch to ANYTHING else it just stops when it gets to the "Installing Update..." step. it even still has the lines in the loading bar instead of being solid with the download progress. AHHHH! it's driving me crazy! i've been going at it for two days solid now with no luck (although i'm only a noob).
try using the 4/30/11 or wahtever it is. thats what im using and its perfect. the only changes in the new version is he fixed a bug with the MIUI lockscreen i beleive. its basically identical.

You should make sure you're using the latest version of cwm located below, let us know if you still have the issue. I typically flash the .tar in odin (it will replace the existing blue stock recovery so that you don't have to apply any update.zip to get into CWM)

For heinz 57, you require to already have EC10 and the PnP already installed.
So the order i did things in was...
1. EC10 Root and Recovery flashed using odin
2. installed update.zip from blue CWM to get red CWM, , then cwm-recovery-all.zip to keep it red on boot (i think i rebooted once here to make sure i got to red right away alright - no problems)
3. installed mesmerize ec10 .5 pick n pack, from red CWM,
4. then Heinz_57.Hybrid_v4_30_11_OTB.zip installed from cwm red.
hope this helps - i had problems installing heinz 57 until i ready very carefully.
addition: you only need EC10 for heinz, but i could not get just the EC10 root and recovery to work with heinz, so i tried installing the PnP ater the Root and recovery and then heinz installed fine no problems. I am, however having problems with the gps. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067693 for details if you can help - thanks).

er...not exactly.
I've flashed this rom a dozen times, and every kernel available. It works just fine.
Try This.
1: Do a stock (non-rooted) odin flash.
2: Boot your phone, do any account setup, blah blah.
3: Turn Phone off, flash custom recovery-all-fixed
4: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off, reboot to custom recovery.
5: Install heinz 5/3 (it comes with a kernel, and it's rooted) from zip on sdcard (not update.zip)
6: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off.
7: Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and data and then flash your theme.
8: Enjoy.
Make sure you read all the info provided by the devs on their respective threads. If you're applying a ported theme, then read the original thread for that theme.
And remember kids...if you don't know what you're doing, and you have trouble following clearly outlined instructions, and don't check in chat for answers, fail to read guides and tutorials sticked, or are just downright simple...you probably have no business messing with your phone.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Read, alot, ask lots of questions in the right places if you can't find the answers you need from reading. Then post a thread.
And tell 'em J sent ya!

This is something with mrhome. I will add to my op post about it. I didn't know that Livewallpaper work with the transitions.
I seem to be stuck in a loop after flashing Serendipity VII Infuse.
My infuse is at the home screen showing the clock, unlock slider and volume slider. Screens says (no Service). Top of screen is running a media scanner.
As soon as it finishes scanning the media, the screen goes blank, shows the Serendipity boot screen w/progress bar, then back to the home screen with the two sliders.
It does not reboot all the way to when it says Samsung.
I've reset and cleared the cache in the red cmw.
Any ideas?
same thing here.
You wouldn't happen to have a SIM password?
mine worked fine for a few hours. Then I rebooted.

not to hijack this thread, but if i'm coming from froyo, do i need to delete my recovery file before flashing your rom?
mine began after I installed a themed battery pack. sys wipe and re-install and all is well.
Car Dock Issues
So I flashed Serendipity VII yesterday from Infused V1, and let me start by saying it's awesome.
I am having an issue with the car dock, though. It actually worked fine the first time I used it, but now the sound won't redirect to the dock. It's not a huge deal because I can just plug the cable in directly to the headphone jack, but one of the great things about the car dock was that I didn't have to deal with the wires. Anyone have any ideas?
Where do we download it from? I see it in dev section but no links or instructions.

Go to http://serendipityinfuse.weebly.com/ and click download at the top. Took me some time to figure it out too.
I am currently running Infused 1.6 with the Infusion 2.0 Core A kernel. I would like to move to the GB release of Serendipity VII, do I have to go back to stock or can I just flash the download through red CWM from the serendipityinfuse website over my current build and do a full wipe?
Will the download also include the kernel it needs to run?
I'm have seen some mixed information on the actual process for installation coming from custom roms and kernels. This is the first time I am going to be updating to GB.

Don't feel like an idiot, we're all learning over here in Q&A.
Turn the phone off and then hold the VOL + and - keys and the power key at the same time for about 10 seconds then release.
If you are not getting Red CWM then it may be because you do not have Voodoo Lagfix installed. Is your phone stock, have you ever installed any other ROMs? Mine started giving me red CWM after I installed the Infused 1.6 ROM.
Hopefully we can get some more advanced users in here to lend a hand, I would like to learn more about this process also.
im in here let me know whatcha need !
i used to have infused 2.1....or 2. something and i wanted serendipity. so i tried to install and nothing would happen. so i went back to stock and all kind of problems started. but im gonna give this a shot
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------
ok i held the keys and it sent me to a blue screen. if i press reinstall packages it then sends me to the green cwm screen. could someone let me know whats going on lol
i went back to stock using the unbrick method and now i cant download anything from the market. i hit install and the download bar pops up for a second and then dissappears. cant even install apps that i had before
does anyone know if you can restore all missing apps and data with serendipity. i somehow got it to flash and was jw. thanks
I had flash multiple roms on the sgs4g and eventually flashed back to kg4 stock after having random shut offs and other issues with those roms and now consistent reboots right after it turns on. I wiped caches fixed permissions All I can do is get her into download mode and cwm voodoo red screen. At one point during the reboot it went on to AT&T network
The kg4 i have is a stock leaked version with ext4 installed on it. After a day of flashing the phone usually goes into a reboot loop. Has anyone experiences these issues before? Could my motherboard be fubar?
I wonder if your bootloaders aren't hosed? If you can get into CWM, I'd suggest turning off voodoo, get it into download mode, and ODIN chadster214's KG4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
I've found that ROM to be a good starting point for GB ROMs. Let me know how it goes.
Thats actually the kg4 rom I am on and have always used for bootloaders. I factory restored it in cwm and it stays on chad's kg4 the rebooting has stopped for now. As for voodoo linda cant convert due to sd card even though shes done it before and its already partitioned to do so.I think the kg4 bootloaders are fine since they lasted this long until now. Can launchers and voodoo cause this rebooting and shut off problems? I'm going to odin it to chadster's again so it can erase everything.Ill give it a day before problems occur again and report back. Thanks for the response.
Firmware: 2.3.4
Baseband:t959vuvkg4
kernel 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkg4-CL385158
Build GBvuvkg4
1.So I flashed chadsters kg4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1392615 with odin.
2.Then I successfully rooted it following the instructions from the link. Phone works fine no reboots after about 8 hours of use. (I fresh reinstalled apps from market no Titanium restore)
3.Next I flash the kernel stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 which gives me red CWM with voodoo ext4 lagfix. After flashing that kernel I start experiencing the random shut off when screens locked, and rebooting issue. Also I get the "can't access the system/tmb/csc error" everytime when flashing in cwm and reg recovery, and im wondering if thats normal.
So I guess its the voodoo kernel thats causing the issues for my phone. Before I started flashing other roms it was fine, now its acting up
Sounds like lagfix is enabled but is causing you troubles. Get into cwm and disable ext4 lagfix, that should keep your phone from reboots.

I no longer have voodoo installed since I i flashed Kg4 again and left it rooted. The rebooting has stopped. Now the issue is the phone shuts of silently on occasions when the Screen is locked and turned off in m. Then I have to hold on power to to turn it on again. Are there any other recommended stable roms?

KI3 seems to be the "newest" and most stable leak. I personally find the KJ1/3 leaks to be very unstable.
Do you use a task killer? If you do, remove that and never touch anything like it again. That definitely causes random reboots.

I believe you have to disable voodoo before flashing, else you may be stuck with some parts of the file system in ext4. I'm wanting to say I had problems after going from a voodoo kernel to a new ROM when I forgot to disable. I ended up flashing chadster's KG4 ROM, drhonk's KG4 kernel, going into recovery, disabling voodoo on everything, then re-flashing to a non-voodoo ROM/kernel.

Anyways, I would suggest you to remove your task killer anyways. In the worst case scenario, it might actually be faulty hardware. :/
I was running a stock backup, when I decided to try installing Tweaked 2.0 (via ODIN). That didn't work (I watched the boot animation for a long time, and I don't think it ever got up and running; maybe just rebooted over and over).
Anyway, since Tweaked 2.0 didn't work, I installed TweakStock 1.4 via ODIN, which I have done before and had success with. This also didn't work.
And yes, I wiped data, cache, and Dalvik cache when I installed these ROMs.
So, I installed Clockwork Recovery, and had it restore an update, which I have had zero problems with in the past. This time, the restore completed, but when I restarted and got into the OS, *everything* force closed immediately -- even stuff that couldn't possibly be running. After dealing with many freezes while attempting to dismiss this dialog, the radio would lose and regain connection, and I received no updates (e.g. new texts, emails), and the OS eventually became unusable.
What can I possibly do? I have tried clearing data, cache, Dalvik cache, and flashing with stock roms and modified roms, but nothing works: everything results in the situation above.
I know this seems like a duplicate thread, but none of the other threads I found addressed my specific issue, and none of the fixes worked.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
U r flash dancing between roms where one is fp1 n the other is ep4. If u flashed tweaked2.0 on a ep4 kernel its not gna work.
Cwm recovery never works so thts not a surprise.
My suggestion would be to go the post called "how to fix ur phone" flash back to stock using the .pit file. From there boot up ur phone, do the ota update to fp1. Then odin cwm n flash tweaked 2.0

I've installed imnuts' EP4 (Android 2.3) ROM, along with the PIT file, and still had these issues. I can try it again when I get home, but I'm not optimistic.
Do I need to install a kernel or modem or something independent of these ROM flashes?
Well unless the rom says it has a kernel included, it doest. Im thinkin u may have flashed a fp1 rom on an ep4 kernel or vice versa. The flashing back to stock n using the pit file should at least get u runnin on stock ep4 again. After that, if u want to stay ep4 u have to flash tweaked 1.5, or update ur kernel to stock fp1 or the pjb fp1 kernel in which case u can flash tweaked 2.0

I've tried flashing with stock ROMs and kernels (EP4 at the last attempt, from imnuts.org), and absolutely nothing works. Assuming I get the phone to boot all the way up, once the Setup Wizard is finally displayed, I start getting tons of seemingly random Force Stop messages -- including for the Setup Wizard itself.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone? Is there something that these flashes are missing that needs to be fixed? Is it a hardware malfunction?
when u flashed in Odin, u put the ROM in the PDA slot, correct? I've messed up flashes a bunch of times and I just follow the "How to fix your phone" post and it always gets it up and running again. Maybe you have something on ur sd card that is screwin stuff up. Try flashing back to stock (with pit) without ur sd card in the phone.
cnoevl21, thank you for all your attention. I did try just booting without the SD card in now, just to see what would happen. That didn't change anything. I'll take it out completely, along with the SIM card, and reflash.
edit: Yes I used the PDA slot I'm very paranoid about it!
Use Samsung PST to flash an OTA stock (stock, not rooted or debloated or anything) and repartition with the PIT. If it keeps happening keep trying-eventually it goes away. I've had this problem several times.
