Hi I also have this issue. I've tried on a few pc's and laptops and it stops at that point for 20 mins+. Also when I try to turn on the phone I just get a screen with "Samsung" a phone icon and a computer icon, can someone tell me how I might go about fixing this issue?

make sure when you flash you use odin 4.03 to flash back to CJ05...and then from there install the patchoob versions. I'm guessing you had the sprint update as well. That update prevents you from flashing using the regular kernels. So, make sure you flash back to the CJ05

basically follow this guide, it should help you figure everything out and get everything working:

Sprint Bricked my Phone.. I can't flash ZE, ect

oh and when u get that logo of the conecting phone and computer, just take your batter out, put it back in, and hold down the volume down button, the camera button, and the red end button until you see the "downloading" screen again.
 
i actually have a question of my own, is anyone else having problems witht the new kernels? Does the screen, when using the internet browser or something uses internet, flash sudden lines across the screen? mine does that sometimes, was wondering if there was a fix for this.

Well, I had already flashed with "CL14_STOCK_FIXED_with_CJ05_SBL" and then tried flashing to the new ZE10.2. It worked, but since then I have had nothing but issues with the camera (which won't work) and other errors with brightness, etc.

well did you remove any applications? if you removed brightness.apk or camera.apk it would be causing the problem

on occasion a bad flash can occur, perhaps try flashing the files again but ive never heard of this problem. sounds kind of odd. i would think its related to either 3rd party apps, a bad flash or apps you removed.

if you wanted to go back to *stock* or wipe the phone, flash the cl14 system with cj05 sbl file. it'll clear the data and put it back to default with the latest stock updates.
then you can flash the ze10.2 kernel to get root access and remove stock sprint apps if you want.

anyone know what causes the little flashes of lines that come across the screen...is it because of the new kernels?
Click to expand...

yes the new kernels have a gfx driver that improves gfx performance at the expense of a couple lines. ze10.2 reduces the lines quite a bit.

Yeah - I had started again with stock ["CL14_STOCK_FIXED_with_CJ05_SBL"] and then went to ZE10.2 - and didn't remove anything - and after flashing I got the brightness app issue and camera app issue....
 
10.2 was the first one I tried...if the lines were greatly reduced on this version I shudder to think of how bad it was on earlier editions. Between the lines and my icons bouncing all over, I went back to the stock kernel
 
Not completely. But then one of the reasons the lines are there are because they are a trade off for the speed. I'm happy to live with em for now.

After having 10.3 for more than 24 hours, I can say with confidence that this is the best version yet. Phone overall performence is greatly improved as well as batter life alone. Nice work guys, if your watchin.
 
I went and updated with the SPH-M900_ZE10.2-dev-2.0.1_KERN.7z found in the /SDX_Files/Dev Files/2.x Kernels/ directory - and when I looked at the version info in About Phone - nothing about being 2.0.1....

Any idea how to flash to this kernel?

not sure what you mean by "updated with" and wanting to "flash to this kernel". if you already used Odin and updated with the Dev kernel, then its already "flashed".

this kernel is designed to run with the alpha/beta version of 2.0.1 which some people have been working hard on getting to run on our samsung moment - Try 2.0.1 on your moment
 
okay so its great we are getting all these kernels and everything, but what happens when the 2.1 update comes out. do we have to do anything specifically, like take out the kernals....go back to cl14, or do we just go from whatever we have to 2.1?
 
I suspect we will have to revert back to stock completely....Including the stock CL14. But don't quote me, I don't know for sure.
 
So i have been Browsing posts figuring out how to flash/root my Moment, but i cant seem to load any of the URL's that have the downloads on them..

http://moment.blacktowersystems.com/roms/custom/

i was trying to see if anyone else posted the same issue but cant seem to see any... i have also tryed to open just the flat out Fileserv.co.cc as well and i get the 404 not found

i have also tested on other computers as well as i have had friends try to open the links.. and nothing.. and i really donno what the problem would be other then the site itself?
 
The steps are slightly different if your phone came with CL14, correct?

I downgraded to CL05, then switched to ZE 12.1. Was i supposed to first downgrade to CL05, then upgrade to a modified CL14, THEN to 12.1? Or were my steps fine?
