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!
I have had my TF for a week or so, and have had no issues whatsover. I have am rooted, running a custom kernel.
All of the sudden I am having the TF reboot at random places, and now it is freezing even in CWM recovery. I wiped everything and went back to stock and still having the problem (on 3.1). Anyone else with this issue, and does it sound like hardware at this point? I think I may return it today, but I am nervous since the screen on this one is perfect.. don't want to get one with light bleed like my last.
Thanks guys.
yes. A quick search will show you the multitudes of threads regarding this issue.

Yeah.. I get that.. I have been on XDA for 4 years.
I understand the freezes and reboots happen and are happening and other people are having them happen, however per my subject line I was looking for people who are having it happen while they are in their recovery mode. I have had the tab freeze after booting into recovery, as well as during a restore and backup. I wasn't having any issues for an entire week and without any kernal or rom mods this just started. (SPECIFICALLY IN RECOVERY MODE AS WELL AS NORMAL MODE)
If it freezes + reboots in recovery, see if a Ramdump file is placed in the root of your /sdcard/ folder. If so, paste it up here so we can look at it.

I actually have a bunch of those files. I attached them here. Oddly, today I am trying to dup the issue after the tablet has sat on but unused, it is working fine. I went into CWM, moved around the menus and waited for it to freeze but it didn't. I restored my backup and am currently testing different things to repeat the freezes. I know there was an issue so if possible I would love to be able to find out what it was/is, and make sure it will or won't happen again so I can get a replacement if needed while I can.
I post if I have the issue again..
EDIT: yup rebooted 3 times again after barely using the tablet. Also completely locked up on one boot before I even put in my pass pattern.
I then went into recovery mode, moved around the menu system and it froze again in CWM.

Hey there superevilllama, glad to see you back on XDA. Question, are you running custom firmware, ie. custom kernel, ROM, etc? If so, I would suggest downloading the stock firmware from ASUS and flashing back completely to stock and see if that alleviates any issues. If this continues to happen on a completely stock system, you might have faulty hardware.
It was the kernel...
Alright guys.. It was the kernel. I wiped and reset to stock, thinking I had already went back to stock kernel but apparently flashed the same kernel instead of stock.
I checked Clemsyn's kernel thread and # 17 of his had other people getting lockups and reboots too, OC or not. Gave me a scare because I did a bunch of things at one time.. updated kernel, got a new keyboard dock, updated setcpu.
I kept freezing all over the place and rebooting, OC or not. Thought I restored back to stock kernel but I didn't. Thought it was wierd as I had no issues before. Back to 16 of Clemsyn's kernel and all is well, both when not overclocked and OC to 1.5ghz.
I appreciate your help guys. Glad to know my TF is still in good shape. Good thing because the replacement I got had bbaaadd light leakage. Now I can just take it back.
Yes, it was the kernel.
More importantly, it looks like it was the clock speed.
sassafras
It is wierd that it froze in recovery mode tho. I thought recovery had its own kernel, I didn't think it used whatever kernel I had flashed. Eh either way I am glad it is working.
Okay, I'm basically going to just copy and paste my issue and edits here from the Zeus thread I couldn't get any help on. The edits are so anyone who actually read this can see what I did and have been doing so they don't suggest something I already did.
So the other day, I tried to flash to the Doctorz ROM and of course, made a Nandroid backup. After messing with Doctorz, I went back to Nandroid or clockwork recovery (whatever it is) and after restoring, I was on another modem and stock kernel. I tried to reflash Zeus and wiped partitions cache and dalvik cache and now I'm having serious issues. I have my SIM card in my phone, but it keeps telling me I don't even though it's there. Even weirder, I have one or two bars even after I pull out the SIM card. Earlier, it was detecting that I had a SIM card, but said "Invalid SIM card" or something and now whether it's there or not, my phone says it has one or two bars even though I can't do anything. What's going on??
I've tried rebooting several times and activated Wifi and airplane mode, but had no luck. SIM card's in right now, but my phone says no service.
EDIT: Forget it. I just did a factory restore and wiped everything and reflashed Zeus.
EDIT 2: Okay now I'm having other issues. My phone recognizes my SIM card again and now I'm getting my normal signal, but I can't do anything wirelessly, like send a text or use up data. It SAYS I have signal and am connected to the HSPA+ network and the arrows are flashing and whatnot, but I can't do anything wireless. I can't go into the market, send a text or use the internet browser. Someone please help?
EDIT 3: Okay, I was wrong on that last part. My texts weren't going through because of bad signal, but I definitely have no data AT ALL. All I have are a few bars, but nothing about 3g/EDGE/HSPA+. I think this is an issue with APN settings?
EDIT 4: Messed with some APN settings... kinda back to square one, where the H+ shows up and I get Edge sometimes (I have bad signal where I'm at) and the arrows are flashing, but NOTHING. I still can't use the market or any data at all.
EDIT 5: I just decided I'd try to be next to my router and turned on Wifi... my phone would not pick up a signal from my router at all, and it works just fine. I'm starting to think this is a modem-related issue...
EDIT 6: Okay, I kinda fixed the problem, but my data speeds are SUPER SLOW and sending one message takes a really long time. I know I have bad signal, but it's never been this slow, even when I manage to pull up two or three bars. I tried messing with build.prop, but as I'm on Zeus, the settings were already fixed up.
EDIT 7: Okay, the Wifi issue was because I used the wrong WEP key. Oops. After I managed to connect though, I couldn't get any data. My phone just doesn't want to use up any data apparently? I reflashed the modem Zeus normally uses and now if I manage to get some data, it's unbelievably slow and can't use Wifi data.
EDIT 8: I forgot to mention that if I don't get to connect somewhere with data, my phone will just tell me there's no data connection or whatever even though I have two bars. I tried to fix permissions and rebooted, but no luck.
Someone please help. This is really annoying.

Damn! That's a lot of edits. Odin back to stock, and start from scratch. But remember to do a factory reset from Phone, go to settings, Privacy and erase everything. that will clean up everything that you have there.
That's the only option I see will fix all your problems

Yeah, that's all I could come up with. Thanks anyway. I did that a few minutes ago and flashed Zeus. I'm just waiting for my phone to load up. I tried to let it load up, but it kept saying not enough data on the partition or something. I probably shouldn't have tried to flash Zeus immediately after flashing back to stock. After I went to CWM from flashing to stock, I immediately tried to flash to Zeus, but had issues. I'll take the blame for trying to rush and take shortcuts. I'll see how this goes again though.
Okay, after flashing back to stock with Odin, my phone loads up and does the "Rethink possible" thing when you turn it on and after that, nothing happens. The screen just stays off. If I press the power button, nothing happens, but if I hold it, it just reboots and goes back off. This is just annoying...
EDIT: Okay, it worked the second time. I have no idea why as I did nothing different, but it works. Now I'm gonna try to flash Zeus again.

Faint,
I got lost trying to understand what you were trying to ask.
Gtg unbrick is prob the best option.
It's usually best to describe the system, setup, the bug and the attempt.
Then pose the bottom line question.
Check my last sigs link.

Well what I was asking originally was how I can fix the problem I was having, but flashing back to stock via Odin helped. Now I'm having ANOTHER issue... after FINALLY having fixed up everything, I tried to restore some stuff with Tibu, but then my phone started saying a bunch of processes were force closing or something, so I tried to reboot and now I think I'm bootlooping. I'm stuck at the "The Collective" thing that shows up when you boot up your phone and it doesn't do anything. It'll go and do what it normaly does, go black and start up again, then come to a complete stop and repeat the process. I then went to CWM and tried to wipe factory settings, cache and dalvik cache, but I'm still having this issue. Geez, it's one problem after another, and all I wanted to do was restore my apps. On the bright side, I DO KNOW flashing from Odin helped because once I regained control of my phone at the way it should be normally, I had my normal data speeds and didn't have issues with data. I'm going to try to fix this bootlooping issue now. :|
EDIT: Escaped the bootloop(?). Thank God... I honestly thought I'd have to flash back to stock with ODIN AGAIN and then redo everything.
Hey, so another question... before I flashed to stock and everything, I backed up all of my apps with TiBU, but now I can't find them; the restore file(s?) so I can get all of my apps and their data back. Was it saved to the internal SD card? Because I formatted that after backing up...
EDIT: Never mind. I looked around my SD card and... ugh. All my apps are gone and so are my backup files for the apps. Great. Thanks anyway, you two.

If you did a factory reset from within the phone, it will erase everything...
After you odin or heimdall a stock package, and flash a new ROM, don't restore tibu or apps. Download new.
Occasionally they get corrupted and cause you phone to soft boot

One more thing to add on to the TiBu thing, when you restored your apps what option did you use? If your restoring the batch options only select "missing apps with data.". Any other option and you run the risk of getting constant FC's.

I have found this to be the best for me also, new ROM...fresh install of all apps...so easy when you have the apk's, I just put them in a folder, then to my sd and install away and if I need to update I look that app via the market and update that way, or via the desktop pc thru the market online.
I found this site very useful has all my apps I need/require:

Yeah, it seems that's the best way to go. Even though I backed it up with CWM, I didn't expect it to not backup the kernel and modem. I realized the kernel part a lot sooner, but after having a lot of texts that didn't go through the way they normally would, I thought it was an issue with my phone and then I decided I'd check the modem and found out I didn't have the KL2 modem I'd normally have.

Well I already had everything figured out by the time everyone said something, but I appreciate the effort and tips nonetheless.
I'm fairly new to ROMs (this is my second). I have followed the instructions and successfully installed the ROM, modem, and update.
2 questions:
1) Wifi does not work (will not turn on). I had wifi problems on my last ROM. I have reinstalled this ROM numerous times today thinking something must have failed since wifi does not work. This seems to be unique to me since I can't find anything in the thread regarding wifi problems. Any suggestions?
I've gone so far as to use darkside superwipe as suggested in a different thread. Still can't get wifi to turn on (just sits with "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message on screen). Never errors out, just stays like that.
2) ROM Manager: Fix permissions fails. I get the following error when I select fix permissions: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for the help!
You should post your question in the ROM thread. The developer (seanscreamz) or one of the other testers will see it and be able to address your problem and help you out.
I can't post in the Dev section yet. 6 more posts and I will ask there.

Ok, I figured I might as well make sure that my wifi woes are not a hardware issue. I've reverted back to stock Skyrocket OS to make sure wifi is available and working in stock form.
Following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348, I reverted to stock and I can confirm that wifi works in stock form.
I've also reformatted my sd card in case there is any chance a corruption on it would cause my problems.
Now going to reinstall SkyICS...

I now have wifi again!
So now I get to try to get back to SU and CWM without losing wifi...wish me luck.
still have wifi!
OK, rooted and CWM installed. I still have wifi, which is good. I'm afraid to select 'Fix Permissions' for fear that will break my wifi.
I'm going to install Sky ICS now and see what happens.
sky ics and wifi!
OK, It took a few attempts, but I now have SKY ICS installed and wifi is still working.
I've installed the base ROM and the modem...not the updated yet. My download speeds are terrible, but at least I have wifi. I think the data speeds get better on the update.
Sean's instructions say to let the phone "cache and settle". I have no idea what that means...so will try to wait 10 minutes or so before installing the update.

My uneducated guess with the data speeds is the modem for UCLE2. I haven't had the chance to go to LTE on SKYICS yet, but data is definitely slower on "4g" networks.

quick update
Here is a quick update:
I spent some time redownloading all my apps and in general setting up the phone. I then ran the SKY-ICS update. Everything seemed to be working great.
As an added bonus, the email app in SKY-ICS syncs with my employer's exchange server! Which is so awesome. The stock ROM, and the last gingerbread ROM I had on the Skyrocket would not connect to our exchange server. I was very pleasantly surprised by that functionality.
I then lost wifi again. Wifi seems to be unpredictable and I'm not sure if it is hardware or software related. I again have wifi this morning, but didn't for the last two days. Also, my phone won't restart, it appears to get stuck in a powerdown state.The haptic buttons stay lit, but the screen is blank. I have to pull the battery to get it to restart.
But overall, I'm very happy with the performance and functionality of SKY-ICS. I will do some digging on the restart problem.
Guys, I have a huge problem. I installed DPI Modder Pro the other day and set to 160. Everything was cool until I realized I could not make a call after installing 7/1. I see the time increasing and the other person I'm calling is getting the call but I can't hear anything, sometimes though its just stuck on "dialing" yet the other person's phone is ringing. I luckily backed up right after installing the 6/30 nightly but I can only use the phone after the first boot from a restore. If I reboot, calls are gone again. Can't make them, can't get them. I flashed back to stock via Odin and was able to repeatedly reboot and have phone access with rogers 2.3.5 stock. I did a clean CM9 install and like usual, the first boot ran the call no problem but after a reboot, nothing. I don't know what else to try. I've fixed permissions, wiped with CWR, you name it. I'm stuck on 6/30 and I can't power down or reboot or I have to restore to get calls back.
Please help. PLEASE.

Try installing a custom from like embryo for Samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket and install it and apply a radio, the developer has a list of the radios which are compatible. Afterwards make sure your data is turned on sometimes when I turn off my phone and reboot my settings get rearranged to where I can't use the web with 4g etc. I hope either of this two things help you out mate
Good luck.

Thanks man. I love CM9, things were going perfectly with the nigntlies and all of a sudden this. It's such a kick in the balls man, from laughing it it up with the sickest ROM to not being able to power the phone off. I'm at a loss here, I've tried everything I can think of. Like when you flash stock with Odin then do a clean install of CM9 you'd think the problem would be gone. Nope.
Try out embryo. You'll like it
It works, its fast, you get S voice, and you get the newest touch wiz launcher if your a fan.
---------edit------------
Wrong post above. I am sry mate I hope you find a way to fix it. Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik. However, their is a way to fix it and I hope you find it.
Samsung Galaxy s2 Nuclear Rocket - Embryo 3.2 [UCLE2 BASE]
iPhone 4S - Gave it away, not cool enough
iPhone 3GS - Went for a Swim
Dog - Custom Rom [Golden Retriever] [BEAR2 BASE]
I went from loving this phone to wanting a bus to drive over it. This is bull****.
You can't lower the dpi to anything lower than 190 on cm based ROMs
Sent from my SGH-I727
u do realize its ur own fault right lol? this is a well documented issue, the phone.apk won't work with anything below 190 dpi, thus the reason for ur distress. Turn it up, or search for a modified phone.apk that will work at that dpi that was kicking around in the cm9 thread, but you'll have to look a waaayz bacl
No dude, you don't get it. I've wiped. I've Odin back to stock, full wipe all the way. I rebooted a few times on rogers ics stock and it worked. I then installed cm9 from the ground up using the chopsticks guide. It went perfectly, then, after reboot, boom, no calls. This is with 240dpi in tact.I can text, wifi, data, etc. no problem. But phone, nope. Any reboot of any kind kills the phone, regardless of dpi. I have the modified phone.apk, no difference.
pls help

From a reboot I always open up my browser and let it load a webpage, followed by opening up Google Play and letting it load. Then I open the phone and test a call. 9/10 times it works doing it that way. I think the radio isn't loading first like it should be or something. Either way, that's my workaround for this phone I hate/love.
Im back to stock 4.0.3 and now workes fine
