MMS on SC 2.9.1 - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. And, yes, I did search first. I am on SC 2.9.1 EB01 voodoo. I have not updated to the new kernel. I did flash the MMS patch. My problem is that I can not receive MMS. At least two people have sent me pictures via MMS, and I receive a message saying downloading but no pic. Haven't tried to send any. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.

I know SC 2.9 required the DL09 modem, I assume 2.9.1 would require the same? I know my messaging didn't work properly in 2.9 until I flashed the DL09 modem. Then no more messaging quirks like you mentioned. On a side note my GPS performance also improved to.

Have you tried these? Adrylalyne has been up to his usual greatness, making stuff better for us. I am runnung SC 2.9.1V, eb16 rom, and eb01 kernal, with zero problems and heavy data, txt, and phone usage.

It appears that I have an almost identical set up to yours with SC 2.9.1 but I have not upgraded to the new EB16 kernel as the last one was a fail. Three separate people have sent me pictures by MMS, and none were successfully received. I today re-flashed the EB01_mms patch without success. SMS and email seem to be working fine.

What gave you the idea that SuperClean 2.9 requires the DL09 modem? That is most certainly NOT true. In fact, Adynalyne recommends NOT using the DL09 modem if I remember correctly. But, just pointing that out, that information is dead wrong. The recommended modem is EB01.

I Odined back to EB01 according to Adrynalyn's post, then reinstalled SC2.6 and pictures aarrived with mms. Same with 2.8 and 2.9.1. Adding Super Dark or Nitro Dark Eclipse theme resulted in inability to receive pix by mms. I tried all the variations, and this is the problem without a doubt. FWIW. Anyone else experience this?

I'm also having this problem. Odin'd to EB01 then flashed 2.6 to 2.9.1. The phone is working great but the inability to receive pictures is annoying. Is it necessary to go to 2.8 before 2.9 or something of the sort?

It is said in the thread you have to install 2.9 before 2.9.1.

Now that I do not have a theme installed, there appears to be no problem receiving pix via mms. My post is inaccurate - I went from Odin EB01 to SC2.6 then to 2.8, then 2.9 then 2.91. Sorry for the error. But mms works on all the SC ROMs I tried, as long as I did not flash a theme on top.

[Q] EB01/EB16 - how do you know?

Hey, a question...
I flashed the 2.8v, which I thought included the EB16 kernal, but the phone still says EB01 on the "About phone" thingie in Settings. Now, I just flashed the EB16 voodoo zip file on the first page of Adrynl's thread...it still says EB01.
I'm running fine, GREAT, really, but justr wondering where to look so I know I have the EB16 running, and if I am still on EB01, then....why?
Thanks guys, and thanks Adrynl for the fantastic work.
Jeff
You are on EB16 unless you flashed the EB01 kernal after installing SC2.8v.
The only way to check which kernel you are on is by running a command.
Check out post 2178 in the superclean thread (page 218).

Jan 2... that would be closer to DL30. Did you come from a DL30 version of Super Clean?
Just to make it confusing for you all:
There are currently 6 kernels floating around. EB01 voodoo and non-voodoo, EB16 voodoo and non-voodoo (included with SC2.8), and another set of EB16 voodoo and non-voodoo kernels that were an attempt to fix all the conversion problems (but at the same time introduced a BT bug).
Depending on which kernel you have, you might be getting a different result for the date. It depends on which files they used for that kernel.
If you find that you aren't on the kernel you thought you were, but you are happy with its performance, you might want to think about just sticking with the kernel you have since there isn't a huge difference between them. Everything will get sorted out soon enough.

[Q] Apps keep forceclosing on superclean 2.8v

For some reason my apps keep forceclosing on superclean 2.8 and also which launcher does this come with it-is it the launcher 2.1 cuz there's a patch for stock launcher 2.2 I think?
EDIT: Also when I click on the vzw 3g mobile hotspot it gives me a warning that I have to enable it by Verizon bit than it hives me options of enabling it... can we enable it mow cuz of the dummy tether module??? :/ Quote confusing...
What were you running before 2.8? Voodoo or nv?
Did you wipe cache or data or davlick cache?
If we don't know where you were, can't help you get to where you want to go.

Yeah sorry. I was running stock 2.1 ea8 update than odined to Dl01 back to stock-flashed superclean 2.6v and converted to voodoo trying to than flash 2.7 which was unsuccessful. Than 2.8 came out so odined back to dl01 and flashed superclean 2.8 which didn't work so had to re-odin and flash everything about 5 times but it never converted to voodoo. So started fresh by odining back to stock Dl0-wiping data, factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache-than flashed superclean 2.6v-making sure to wipe everything again before flashing, converted to voodoo successfully so than flashed superclean 2.8 wiping everything again. Everything worked just some apps would forceclose, like words with friends, sometimes browser and wells Fargo app.
And is it just me or does the vibrate feature seem different... like it vibrates differently? :/.
Stock than voodoo 2.6 and than voodoo 2.8.
And yes I wiped everything-i even at one point tried wiping dbdata, boot, system, ddata, ext data... than mounted everything-system, dbdata, data, and one other thing. which made me get stuck at aamsung logo when trying to boot.
Start with a Superclean version that doesnt have the EB16 kernel, think 2.4 was the last to use the EB01 kernel. Flash it, boot up and then flash 2.8

Oh is the forceclosing not normal? And you saying to revert back to Odin stock-wipe everything again-than flash superclean 2.4 then 2.8?
Btw you know anything bout the vzw 3g mobile app? Cam we use it or do we still have to pay and sign up from Verizon? Cuz tjats the first time that option popped up.. :-/
The conversion process in teh EB16 kernels are borked I believe. So yes, Odin then flash 2.4 then 2.8. The dummy module just doesnt report tethering, its not a hack for the stock app. You have to use wifi tether in the market or the like.

Ah so apps forceclosing are not normal... damn. I've already odined so many times... oh well. Really? That's weird than cuz before on 2.1 when it gave you the warning it just gave you the warning but this time on 2.2 after the warning it asks if you want to turn it on, turn it off, or close the app... so if I put turn it on would it automatically sign me up for the tethering option in vzw or would it just give me an error message since I'm not signed up for it on vzw? :/. And what quadrant scores are considered normal for voodoo cuz I've heard of scores ranging from 1400-1800 but I only got 1350 or something like that-ranked underneath nexus one with 2.2.
Thanks by the way.
EDIT: Btw do I have to disable voodoo first before odining back to Dl01 or just Odin it back since Dl01 Odin deletes everything including voodoo? :/

You dont need to disable voodoo when you odin full package.
Ok thanks. But about the vzw 3g app what would happen if I click to turn it on?

[Q] mms not working in SC 2.9.2

Hello, tried searching for answer but can't get a hit. I have had SC 2.9.2 non voodoo running fine for a week. Everything seems to work fine, but I just tried to send a picture message today for the first time and noticed it doesn't work. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I had trouble with the MMS in SC until I flashed the DL09 modem (SC 2.9 requires it supposedly).
I had the same problem with SC too. I think however it has something to do with the MMS app that is part of the ROM. The first thing I do is check to make sure I get SMS MMS and can make phone calls when I flash a new ROM. When I flashed SC 2.9.2 MMS didn't work but I then flashed the patch to go back to the samsung MMS app that is provided in the thread and it worked perfectly. The picture I attempted to send before went though...8 hours later lol.
Im on the EB01 radio and JT's EC10 voodoo kernel.

[Q] Lost signal in new CM7 Kernel. Anyone else?

Unfortunately I can't post this question in the thread that the issue originated from but :
last night I was on com rom 2.0 with OTb1.6 kernel and ec01 radio. I did the ODIN flash to DL09 modem and then up to ED04. Had no issues at all. This morning I decided to take the plunge into gingerbread and used this thread here JT1134 CW7. I played around with this for a few hours and didn't seem to have any issues besides the known bugs. So then I decided to up to the newer rom by nemisis2all
Nothing seemed to have any issues in the orange CWM while applying the update
Now I have no signal.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Also is there a link anywhere for just the original kernel from JT1134 CM7 test build 06/09
EDIT: looking at the phone status is says baseband unknown. So I think I'm just going to wipe all and go back to the original 06/09 build byJT1134 unless anyone has just the kernell.
Thanks up front
Josh
You should try flashing a recent modem first to see if that resolves the problem. I am using EC01 just fine with the 6.09 build from the thread you linked. I have noticed on occasion mobile data will drop, but it seems toggling wifi fixes that (cannot say for sure). But I have not had any problems with voice signal.
It is still an alpha, so keep that in mind, but it has been working great for me.
with the ED04 modem, I did have the signal drop for a few moments earlier, but it seemed fine after reboot. and I have noticed that the mobile data does drop occasionally after being on Wifi for a period of time, but reboot seems to fix that too.
Ya i even just tried to flash all 3 times data, dalvik, cache and then install the CMW7 test 2 from JT again thinking it would jsut revert to the old kernel included in his and work again. But it is still no signal and no baseband version.

I probably should have read in a bit deeper, in order to flash to the ED04 modem I actually had to flash back to a touchwiz rom then flash over the DL09 and I used CWM 3.0.x to flash up to ED04. I had tried to do it in the orange CWM that came with CM7 test 2 and it failed multiple times. After I had gone back to DL09 and updated modem I just flashed CM7 back over and have not had much problem since other than data dropping.
I Just Odin the modem back to DL09 and then CWM Orange from DL09 to ED04 and working again. Thanks for the input guys.

[Q] Going from stock ED05 to TSM PoolParty or Res

I hate to have to ask this, but it's been a while since I've modded my Fascinate. I just received a refurb'd replacement of my Fascinate that was running CR 2.1. The new one received the OTA update to ED05 2.2.2 today after I activated it.
I'm thinking about going to PoolParty or TSM Resurrection. It's been a while since I've done any of this, and I wasn't very active once I got the old one setup so I'm pretty rusty.
From what I gather if I want to go to Resurrection I should Odin PWGB (no modem?) first to get to EH09, Odin CWM (any version?), then the PW fix permissions, then TSM, and the new TKSGB kernel?
Should I stick to the ED05 radio, or is there a newer one that doesn't fry cards? Am I on the right track? Are the directions the same if I want to try PoolParty? Is one preferred over the other?
Thanks for your time.

the modem was never the reason for fried sd cards for one...ec09 modem gives the best data speeds, but tends to jump in and out of 1x. if you want tsm yes you must odin pwgb, odin cwm 2.5.x, then flash tsm in recovery.
pool party is mtd and requires cwm4 to flash...read the how to go from anything to vgb,cm7,miui guide in dev section.
Thanks for your input. I just odin'd PWGB without radio, so I'm still on ED05 for now. I have to leave for work, so I won't do TSM Res just yet. I see they're reporting reboot issues now with TSM Res. Is ED05 the current radio besides EC09 with the potential issue of jumping into 1x? Do I have to change the radio if I want to go to TSM Res?

yea roboots have been a problem on eh09 roms... ed05 is the most current readio but between that and ec09, ec09 gives better data speed. They both will jump in and out of 1x, but ed05 does it more imo...I think your location and signal area will determine which works best for you. No you dont have to change radios to go to tsm or any rom for that matter.
