[EP3HA][Stock][ODIN] EP3HA Full & Debloated Deodexed (10/9/11)

I got a request earlier today to make deodexed versions of the EP3HA release, as I had made for the EP1W (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260214) release. So here it is. These files are 7zip just like the original release from TBH. I tried .zip .rar and .7z and found the highest compression was with .7z so thats what I used.
There are absolutely no changes from the TBH release except that it is deodexed. It will delete all data and leave you stock rooted, including the recovery, so you will certainly want to follow up your ODIN flash with a flash of CWM 4.0.0.8, which is also attached.
EP3HA Full Deodexed
EP3HA Debloat Deodexed
CWM Recovery 4.0.0.8
In case you want to use the Debloated version, but there are still some apks that you want from the full version, here is a link with all of the original apks from the full version:

Yes, that is the stock theme. However, because it is deodexed, you can either theme it yourself, or use a theme that is already out there.

Deodexed allows [easy] theme creation and install. It is possible to theme without deodexing, but its more difficult. Aside from that, no advantages that I know of. Some have claimed performance differences one way or the other, but I don't think there is any substantial difference.
If you are asking what is deodexing...http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/. Basically, for each apk there is an odex file, by deodexing you combine them into a single file.

How can I get EXT4 voodoo lagfix working? Tried the kernel but didn't do anything except for take away the boot sound. Other than that it works great, thanks!

look for and download Imoseyons v3.0.0 kernel, flashes fine and it will convert you to ext4 no problems

Buzzing, popping crackling noise issue solved?
I've had issue with buzzing, popping crackling noise during a phone call running several different Gingerbread roms, until I encountered this one. I honestly don't know the reason or the cause of the buzzing noise running on other GB roms prior to this one.
I've been running the full deodexed version of this ROM for a few days now, and it has been running flawlessly, no more buzzing noise issue so far. I made sure I took cautious steps installing it. First, I installed the factory EE4 rom properly, back to stock, before I odin this rom. Then I installed Imnut's [8-17-11] Clockwork Mod Recovery (the orange version), and backed up everything. Then I installed imoseyon's GB kernel, v3.1.0, and backed up everything. I use GO Launcher EX (not a big fan of TW stock launcher).
I'll continue testing and will report if I run into the same issue.

hey stranula just a quick question, would it be possible for you or someone who knows how (if its not hard I could even learn myself) to make a CWM package of the debloated leak? I like to be 'bleeding edge' lol and run rom betas but its a pain in the ass to have to Odin back to stock every time to start over when I mess something up

So i went back to ee4 stock, then flashed this rom, i installed clockwork mod recovery via odin it said successful but how do i boot into recovery? I thought it was power volume up?? I cant get it to go into cwm to intall th voodo lagfix. I also cant download toast titatnium from the market. No search results. Any input?
EDIT: GOT IT TO BOOT INTO CWM......UP+HOME BUTTON+ POWER BUTTON. I STILL CANT GET TOAST FROM MARKET....SO WIERD.

You can d/l Quick Boot from the market. QB lets you boot into recovery.
I think Titanium Backup is what you're looking for.

Yeah am an idiot. For some reason i thought the word toast was in there hahah. Yeah def dl quick boot. Thank you so much

Lol. No prob. FYI, when I said I ran a backup, I was using CWM 4.0.1.4 to do an image backup of the whole system.
I hope that solves your buzzing issue. I'm still buzz-free so far.

Well I just made a couple phone calls and no buzzing or crackling. I hope it holds out. I didn't do the cwm backup. Do you think that's necessary to avoid the static noise?

No, no effect to the static noise issue.
I just recently discovered this nifty tool (cwm backup) myself. The image backup/restore feature lets you backup your current system, as a whole, in case you want to restore it at later date. It stores it into a file in clockworkmod folder. Usually whenever I'm satisfied the way my system works, I'd back it up to the card. And if I want to try a different ROM, for example, I'd run a backup before flashing the new ROM, and if I feel like going back to my previous system, I can just restore it from the card. I may choose to backup the new system prior to doing that, just in case I want to flip back to it. The feature seems to be working well for me. YMMV.

Rainbow Screen/GB Bootloader Flashing

I flashed the Octane ROM and now have the rainbow screen. I am told I need to flash a Gingerbread bootloader but I cant figure out a 100% sure way of doing this. I have read I also need some sort of kernel just not sure what one. All I did to the phone so far was get clockwork recovery working and flash the Octane ROM. Sorry for the noobish question but I am completely new to these Samsungs and theyre a little more involved than the HTC's I have previously worked with.

I'm guessing you're coming from Froyo. You should check out the SGS 4G Bible here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554. Look under ODIN ROMs and install Chadster's KG4 ROM (last one listed). That's the first GB ROM to have the bootloaders on it. After that, you should be able to drop whatever other GB ROM you want on it.

Excellent thank you! Could I backup the current ROM in clockwork recovery, flash Chadster's KG4 then just restore my backup? Or would that also restore my old bootloader? The phone is my girlfriends and she just got it setup the way she likes and I would hate for her to have to do it all over again. Shes not as patient as I am when it comes to this kinda stuff.

I believe that would be ok

No worries. Glad to help. Did it all work?

If you're coming from Froyo, DO NOT advanced restore your data on a GB ROM!
That will cause multiple issues on your phone. One of them being no incoming phone calls.
In order to move from Froyo to GB, your only option is to use Titanium Backup. Backup all user apps and data and restore them when you're on GB.
GB to GB is fine, but you must flash the Bali kernel (yes, it is a Froyo kernel) to perform an advanced data restore. You must be sure to flash the kernel back to a GB kernel afterwards. If not, you will be in a boot loop.
As for keeping HOMESCREEN settings and such, unless if your girlfriend has a custom launcher on, like ADW or LauncherPro, you will have to manually set up everything again.
In terms of PHONE settings, you'll have to set up everything again.
I hope you see this post before flashing, or else you'll have to reflash everything for your girlfriend!

I assume by advanced restore you mean some sort of restoring through Clockwork Recovery?
I only use Titanium Backup for backup and restore of apps. So backing up the apps on Froyo and restoring them on the GB ROM through Titanium is fine correct? I hope so cause I have already done this once lol.
She does use ADW EX so restoring that wont be an issue.
So If I just backup all the apps with Titanium, then flash the ROM+Bootloader mentioned above, then restore the apps with Titanium Backup it should be fine?
I assume doing this would not have changed the kernel at all. Should I flash some sort of GB kernel while im at it?
I really appreciate all your guys help on this one. Im more nervous about doing this stuff cause the phone isnt mine lol. If it were mine I would be flashing all day long! But in this case I want to get it right the first time.

Just an update. I did the above and it fixed up the rainbow screen. Thank you all for your help. I couldnt have done it without you guys. GF is now happy with her newly updated Octane rom

[Q]Reflashing s7 from cm7 and app install problems

So I flashed the unofficial cm7 build from the dev forum meaning I now have blue Cwm instead of red that I used with s7. What steps are required to reflash s7? Do ihave to use sgs kernel app to reflash kernel then flash s7?
Also I'm having issues restoring apps with titanium. The "stock" app installation screen doesn't allow me to choose install, only cancel. Does this issue stem from not having done a factory data wipe? The thread I read only mentioned to format the system disk but I don't think it was written from the perspective of having come from s7.
Mad props for any help
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

Yes you will eventually have to use SGS to flash a kernel. Maybe this is the long way around but when I flashed back from cm7 yesterday I used sgs kernel flasher and followed the instructions for infused gb. When I flashed the kernel it got stuck converting partitions to ext4 (probably because they were already in ext4). But I did a battery pull in the middle and was back in red cwm. After that I flashed infused again without hassle with infusion core b. That being said, as long as you have red cwm, you should theoretically be able to flash whatever rom you want.
So in short : just follow the FULL instructions to flash infused v2. Then flash s7. Hope this helps

Thaanks! Will try this if my reflash of cm7 doesn't fix issues....do you think my app install problems are stemming from a previous install?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

Hmmm...well out of habit I always personally makes sure I format everything, wipe the dalvik cache, fix permissions and wipe the cache partition as well. A lot of the devs stress that this is necessary so I wouldn't doubt that your app install problems are from a previous install. Something tells me, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that when you are going from a voodoo enabled ROM like infused or s7 to a ROM like cm7 that doesn't use voodoo lagfix, you will have issues with trying to get your apps back because they were using a different (but still similar since they are both EXT4) file system. This is just my guess. If anyone could elaborate more on this please do.
I would highly suggest flashing back to stock if you still experience issues or even ultimate unbrick so that way you can get a clean slate. Maybe try using apps2sd. I own it and can verify that it works well. Many others have also praised it. Good luck!

i went and did another install of cm7 before i ultimate unbrick back to stock. i figure out the app install problem; unknown sources wasn't checked...very noob. but the promt at the beginning of titanium caught me off guard and i cancelled before i could read it.
i, too, noticed that my app icons were intact on my desktop after the s7 to cm7 flash but most (if not all) those that did not require root would force close upon opening. reinstalling the app worked, but i had to get them from the market at the time as my unknown sources box was unchecked. also, i've noticed that widgets do not reload after reboot.
one more thing, after the second flash of cm7, i noticed that flashing gapps only provided me with the market. others such as email and talk were available for dl thru the market but weren't loaded from the gapps flash. i tried multiple times to no avail.
i'm about to ultimate unbrick and reflash cm7 from stock. one more last thing, i'm fairly comfortable with red cwm but have only encountered blue with cm7...how do i wipe the dalvik cache?
thanks for the help!

When using TiBu, make sure and restore apps using the "restore all apps with data" option, just did it coming from S7 to MIUI and worked fine.
As far as Gapps go, I downloaded them from the Cm7 wiki and installed them manually from blue CWM just to make sure everything was added and it worked for me.
Dalvik is in advanced just like red CWM, just a different color.

Anything new?

Rooted and installed humble 5.0 a month or two ago and its been good but lately lots of freezing pulling batteries and the battery is dying fast so just wondering if anyone recommends anything else? I am thinking its not really humble but maybe something i installed so i plan on wiping everything back to normal but hey its a good time to try something else too

Danalo's Rooted ep4d is solid.

thats humble isnt it

It's not really Humble, just a slightly tweaked version of the factory EP4D release.
You can also try the InfinityROM and TweakStock versions of EP4D.
I just installed TweakStock on my wife's phone and it's pretty nice.
I'm not crazy about the clock tweak, but my wife could care less.
FYI: I've been running Humble 5.0 for about as long as you have, and I haven't had any issues with lock ups, or the battery.

Yeah I may just restore humble can i just do wipe data or do i need to reflash it

I'd download the CWR version of 5.0, wipe data and cache, then just install the CWR version from your SD card. Easier than using Odin. If you don't have Titanium Backup Pro, it's worth the money. Makes reinstalling your apps (including any launchers you might use) a snap.

This ROM with this THEME is a great combo..new and fresh

I actually just spoke with verizon and there is an issue with the phone itself so they are going to replace it. is there a way to restore to stock yet?

You SD card will have whatever extra stuff you had on it whether you flash a factory ROM or not. Some of the folders on the SD card are system folders which most of the content will be replaced with the factory Odin. If you want your phone to be completely stock, wipe your SD card and then Odin the stock ROM.
You can also delete the information from the SD card manually. Folders like "Voodoo" and "clockworkmod" are a dead giveaway that the phone was rooted.
As long as the phone can read the SD card, then its fine to go ahead and either wipe or format the SD card before Odining the factory image. Or just delete the obvious stuff manually, or whatever...

I think I understand what you're saying now. Do this before taking your phone into vzw for them to look at it. I always call them and they over night a refurbished unit so I don't worry about the sd card.

Seconded on TweakStock. It's the most stable rom I have ever used (as in not one issue whatsoever while still lightning fast with excellent battery life). I flashed the one with the experimental kernel so I don't know how it works with anyone else's, though.
I'm not a fan of the clock placement either, but dwitherell posted a flashable fix that I was going to try out sometime.

what stock rom should I use i see a few I would guess bloated but one says if your on epdm4 you wil have issues etc

If true stock is what you want... Odin the stock froyo rom, let it ota update to the latest gingerbread, odin cwr and flash superuser through cwr. Than use titanium to freeze whatever you don't want.
Charge, stock-rooted.. XDA Premium

i want just straight stock no root or anything. if i go froyo is it gonna matter what radio or kernel I have now?

Infinity ROM is a good one- also I found that the TweatStock is great on battery life and you can use the ICS themes.

Really? Just flash on top of it? Seems like there would be conflicts.

When you odin the froyo rom it will put stock radio and kernel on it. Let it update to the new gingerbread. If you are coming from a lagfix kernel make sure you disable lagfix. When you odin the froyo rom I would recommend odin the pit file also to make sure your partitions are accurate.

Cant restore backup CWM!

So I finally got my wife to trust me the other night and went for it. All I did was install clockwork mod then root by installing Imoseyon's v.4.0 Kernel. This allowed me to keep all her data and use the voodoo lagfix as it has helped a few other friends phones that I have rooted.All was well till the following day when she complained her phone froze several times and needed a battery pull to restart. So being the compulsive person I am I had her go into voodoo control and uncheck the enable lagfix box. Once restarted she was unable to open any app that was on the SD card. They were just grayed out as if they werent even there. Now she is very unhappy.
I have tried to access the backup I created in CWM before i messed with anything. I get an error. Next I tried flashing the recovery files found here on XDA. Then restore back up. Still an error. So now i have flashe Tweakstock which works but she wants the phone back to stock. I tinker with my phones and friends phones constantly and can usually figure things out when they go wrong but I am really lost here. Any and all help is greatly appriciated.

Which version of CWM did you use?

5.0.2.7 I think, its blue and has a dancing banana in the backround.

In cwm, go to backup/restore, advance, and just restore data

Yes I've had bad luck with that version of cwm. I would try first using the 0817 cwm release to restore the backup. If that doesn't work, i would extract the tar files using 7zip or something similar on your pc, grabbing the files you need, and pushing them back to the proper locations.

Correct. Place it in PDA and flash it.

So i flashed the 0817 version of CWM. All is well but it still wont restore. I have double checked and everything is in the clockwork folder on the sd card. How do I manually flash them using ODIN? Is this even possible?

So i will be a little more clear with what files I have in the backup folder. There is:
.android_secure.vfat
boot.img
cache.rfs
data.rfs
datadata.rfs
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.rfs

Have you try to restore just data? Make sure you mount all your /data before try it. when you select restore did you see your old backup? Also what sms app you used, stock?

Didnt work. I do see my old backup and stock sms.

First of all, which cwm did you make your backup in? If it was orange then you have to restore with orange cwm. If it was blue then make sure you have the newest version of it. The older ones had problems with restores.
If it doesn't work then you might be out of luck. Maybe you had the old blue cwm and the underlying problem was that it made bad backups but restored good backups fine? I don't really know then.
I have had zero problems with the newest cwm by the way.

Well thanks everyone. I think im just out of luck. I went back to stock using the directions at the top of the Charge development section and now when I sign into the market on my computer to push some apps to the phone, it doesnt recognize it. Any clue here?

can you download apps from the market from your phone? If not try boot into cwm and do the following:
1. mount /system, /data etc.. all of them. Once done they should all displayed unmount in front of all.
2. wipe factory/data, cache, davik cache.
4. reboot and sign in with google account then try to download from the market.

To sort of finish the CWM question, CWM 4.X and CWM 5.X do backups differently. Thats why there are problems with restoring with the wrong one.
With that said, sometimes backups don't work.
Also, you flashed the wrong kernel. Imo4.0 is made for EP4P, not the current OTA for the charge, which is EP4D. Imnuts 0130 PBJ Kernel is the only one made for the Gingerbread OTA.

Thanks ninja I just wish I had that info about an hour ago. The way I read it I was good with Imo4. Guess I should stick to messing with my Rezound.

I don't have any problems with imo 4 except bass boost in voodoo sound. I am on ep4d stock deodexed. ep4d and ep4p are nearly identical...
I can backup and restore on orange cwm perfectly.
You might as well take the opportunity to trick out her phone. Besides, what are u gonna lose besides text messages?
