[Verizon Droid Charge] ferny_dx:
im trying to connect my sister's DC to my computer to odin EP4 since she cant take the OTA update, but my computer kept telling me unrecognized device, until recently its not detecting it at all now.

the USB is fine, i know this because my DC connects fine through it,

is there a ROM I can flash with CWM to ugrade it? i tried factory restore to see if that would fix the USB problem but nothing happened.

*edit: in CWM 4.0.1.4 i try to mount USB storage and i get this messege E: unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

I JUST LOSAT CWM!!!! and now my phone is in a boot loop
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
For some reason, when I plugged my phone w/ Eclipse 1.1 into my friend's computer, it didnt work. I installed the USB drivers and it somehow worked, even though when I originally got the phone I didn't have to install anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
I'm not positive this is the culprit, but eclipse doesn't have autorun.iso in /system/etc - which has the usb drivers in it and auto-installs them when you connect the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ferny_dx:
Can you point me to the drivers you used, i tried installing the drivers from MY Droid charge but i get a message saying that it is already installed
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I have no idea where I got them from but I'll attach them for you.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ferny_dx:
thanks but im almost sure its the same one i installed, i downloaded it and it, gave me the same message that the other one gave me, it said that the software was already installed, i click install anyways, and it reinstalls it but i connect the phone and its the same banana :|

Can the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted?

Hello to anyone who knows about rooting. I work in medicne so I can figure out anything with the human body but not with rooting my Samsung epic on gingerbread 2.3.6. I have tried different developers, different sites, and read till I went crazy. The lingo gets old. It would be like me talking to the common public about the interpetation of hemodynamic readings and congestive heart failure. Anyhow, I rooted my epic 4g before it automatically upgraded to gingerbread...then it froze...I researched and unbricked it with a program everyone said did not work...but it worked to unbrick my phone even though it was supposed to root my phone...it just reset it to where it was usable again. When I try to go to certain websites for rooting files to download...they seem to be missing...hmmmm.:confused: So again, can the samsung epic 4g on gingerbread 2.3.6 be rooted? If it can, please direct me to some site...so far...I have tried about 5 different sites...no luck. It is also very hard to find anything specific on gingerbread 2.3.6 on rooting...alot of info. on the other versions.:eek:
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Yes it can...that's why this how too is right above you if you would like me to do it for you remotely through team viewer I would gladly ;)

[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
there is a thread that tells you a 3 step method. if you wanna flash another rom then here is what I did. Download the rom you want and put on the sd card. download odin if you do not already have it. download cwm-5.0.2.7-epic4g.tar.md5. open odin uncheck every thing even reboot. then click pda put the cwm.tar into the pda. make sure your phone is in download mode. by holding the #1 button on the keyboard and the power button. plug the phone in to the usb. a yellow com box should pop up. hit start it shouldn't take long but it will complete and the phone will still be on. unplug your phone and take the battery out. put the battery back and turn on using the 3 finger method. ( vol. down, camera and power button) then wipe data, wipe cache, go into advance and wipe dalvik. press the back button click then click install zip from sdcard. click choose zip from sd card and then choose your rom and install that should be all. if you want to stay stock and just be rooted you need to download superuser.zip the link is found in the first video. you do the first part the same but instead of wiping every thing you go start into install zip and then choose the super user zip. reboot your system. then you have to go into the root explorer and delete a file but I cant remember the file name. but then you turn your phone off and then you have to odin cwm again. then you will be rooted. i will edit this when i can remember the file name unless some one beats me to the punch. i hope this helps if not pm me and i will try to help i am going to be flashing back to stock and re rooting to day so..
[Epic 4G General] imuscle:
Thanks...I will try it again.
[Epic 4G General] notsosmrtgeek:
I could not find that file that you are suppose to delete but if you odin cwm. Then flash super user in cwm. Boot up. Go into your root explorer go ino system/etc/ it should say install.recovery.sh. I believe

i havent rooted stock gb. so forgive me. but is system/etc the correct path for the file that needs to be deleted? also better to necro rather than make a new thread for this.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I never deleted that file. I just odin'd cwm5 with reboot unchecked, then unplugged cable, poppef battery out and in and flashed a ROM. That file install-recovery.sh is still on my phone and in the directory you specified.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
You don't need to unless you plan on staying stock. Otherwise just flash clockwork mod boot into it and flash a custom rom.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
The phone will remain stock or I would just flash fc09 deoxed. It's for my wife I might in the future upgrade her but this is her first android so I'm trying to go slow with it and not barrage her with too many changes.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Qbking77 video on youtube I believe hasa link to a kernel (mostly stock, only the key skip fix added i believe) that you can odin to make recovery stick on stock...
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Isnt that a ei22 kernel though from my memory there is not a fc09 kernel of that sort.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i used this kernel on my friends epic, who wanted to stay stock fc09

ShadowKernel-FC09-v1.0.1
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Lol I want stock kernel too. I know I'm being picky.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
It will work for fc09...

Worse comes to worse,just odin again.. but it should work just fine...
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
And really if she's not gonna be flashing anything else, just put the su.zip on your sd card. Odin in cwm with auto reboot unchecked and pul bttery whe complete, boot immediately into cwm after odin and flash su.zip.. now you're rooted and done... down side no more cwm... but you can always odin it in again whenever you may need it...
[Epic 4G General] Magic Oreo:
this **** don't work on my weird ass replacement epic, had to odin to froyo to root then update to gingerbread. I then flashed my CM9 for a few weeks, now after flashing the stock fc09 it broke and i'm back to step one again.

Happy i'm getting rid of it for the galaxy s III.
[Epic 4G General] Reignogleph MMXI:
Years later, he asked:

Are you still willing to root other people's Epic 4Gs remotely? If you don't reply here, I'll try sending a PM, but I'd rather not pester someone who's busy publishing scads of how-to videos.

Sonically, Neutron with Voodoo on a rooted Galaxy S still kicks the ass of the US version of the SIII (unless you use an iBasso DAC or Fiio E7).

I rooted to Bonzai from Froyo until Sprint pestered me nonstop into going back to stock and installing Gingerbread. The phone's old now and they'll leave me alone at this point.

step clean instruction :)

I did figure trial and errors after reading several threads something was not clear in order.

I understood first requirement is to flash EPIC 4G and make it root

Clean Instruction It would help many people to figure it out quickly and less confusion aggravation.

You will need to download to flash CMW ROM file odin will do the job

then plug usb data to your desktop/laptop with Epic

First Step download these 3 files I attached

open ODIN and take all options off except auto restart box leave checkmark

Click PIT and PDA to locate two files after download on ODIN Menu screen

ODIN menu and CMW (CyanogenMod) ROM 5.5 tar file

2nd Step click start to flash your ROM.

It will be rooted you phone ready then you can download new android 4.x

I am attaching screenshot of ODIN software and you see two files after

usb cable plug it will show your phone.

Make sure both PIT victory file name and CMW tar file marked and start if PIT

is not included it will not ROOT your EPIC PHONE!

Cheers!
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
Pit file has nothing to do with getting root... the pit file is for going back to a bml partition from an mtd partition...
[Epic 4G General] uclaglory:
Okay I used my sprint phone so it was not rooted.

I did use two files of PIT and Taz file CMW it did flash my phone ROM and reboot phone it is rooted.

I did try flash without PIT first time and it will not root my phone after I included CMW ROM Taz file.

So I used PIT from other article said use both files then flash it from ODIN software

It worked flawless for me after using those specific files with ODIN
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
I have been rooting these phones for the past 2 years, trust me, the pit file has noothing to do with rooting... qbking77 has a video on how to PROPERLY root the epic 4g on youtube... and there are multiple threads (even a stickied one) with the correct method also... the .tar rom you are flashing with odin has root included already, the pit file has nothing to do with it...
[Epic 4G General] uclaglory:
Thanks for your comments....Yeah your experiences paid well for past 2 years It is all new to me at least I managed to root my phone and run 4.1 JB nice stuffs

Hi Guys,

I have been visiting this site for quite a while, mainly the development forum, but have not really contributed that much due to my lack of knowledge in Android Development.

I want to change this and am interested in taking a course to learn how to develop in the Android OS.

Is anybody aware of any courses I could take that are based solely online (ie, no classroom work needed)? Bearing in mind that I have no real programming knowledge to start with so will need an "A-Z" course. I am based in the UK so UK sites would be preferential.

I have done a Google search but to be honest there are so many different companies out there I was wondering if anyone had any first hand experiences?

Cheers :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
You can teach yourself, find some textbooks (I won't tell you where) online and start reading, download eclipse and netbeans, do some reading about object-oriented programming and being learning the basics of java, start trying to develop applications in eclipse (you will need to download all of the appropriate SDK's, Java, Android, etc), there are plenty of starter posts called "How to program Android" etc. located on the various android forums on the net- I would suggest just jumping in and reading as much as you can. I did, I'm not a full-fledged developer, but I am now capable of programming applications and understanding source code. I need to get acquainted with GitHub now so I can actually begin working on open-source projects, and I have a ton of learning to do myself, but that will take you a long way from being a noob.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendonahue:
Thanks for the advice. The problem with me taking it on myself is that...well...I wont do it! I have 9 or 10 Learn Linux books on my shelf and have read maybe three pages out of them.

This is why I was wondering if there was any online courses I could take, which would guide me through step by step from start to finish. I appreciate it may be more expensive this way but I feel it is the best way for me to learn :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
The toolset for creating Android apps while easy for a programmer to pick up, is probably not the best for first steps in programming IMHO but it can be done.

FWIW On the side of "Java" and "Android" sides, I would suggest picking up a copy of "Java in a nutshell". learning the concept of Model/View/Controller (MVC), and inhaling Google's website on Android development. Each will be useful at some point in your growth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bendonahue:
Okay, so what do you think the best start to programming is? I really feel it is something I would love to learn. I realize it will be a big challenge...but I think I am up for it :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WangerC:
Go for it!!!

I would recommend getting to know a bit of Java first. The Java Tutorials found on the Oracle website are an excellent place to start. I've been learning to program for Android for the past month or so, it's hard going, but very rewarding.

Do a full wipe= format system,data,cache and ext, wipe dalvik then flash a different ROM, It might be the ROM you are flashing don't match the phone, or something to that effect, when I ported MIUI for the first time I got a status 7 and it happened to be my boot.img I was using at the time

I'm pretty handy with Photoshop (I do graphic design) and I was wondering how I would go about making a theme. I am on Melvins stock ROM and I don't use a launcher. It was so simple on the iPhone, so is there a method similar to that of the iPhone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garu12:
Hey I'm in the same boat as you being design graduate myself. Its pretty easy actually you just need to get to know all the apk files and what goes where. The framework-res.apk, systemUI.apk house the majority of the files overall that you will most likely wanna mod. Then you have app specifics. Anyway here is a little vid to get you started very basic like. Its the dev M&S from the Tmob thread. His themes are super slick

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MAGiK9:
That is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much. It's actually fairly easy, and I'm glad I don't have to use winSCP anymore.

Quick question though, what do I download to get the script and all that? And the SDK part?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MAGiK9:
I downloaded the APK manager and I have no idea how to get the framework into the script. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
well you should watch the video! if you don't wanna watch than.

Copy framwork-res.apk from system>framework folder.

Past it in the apk folder where it says "Put here for Modding" and than you can open up the command prompt and go from there!:p

Hope this helps!\

Make sure to do nandroid because messing with framwork will give you softbrick and you will be F*****!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garu12:
lol I was like the vid shows it too! And also you will need to do a search on how to mod .9 png files. They have code in them so if you mod them in photoshop ( I did this at first) they end up all warped and busted. At first I recommend the "extract" for starters in APK manager. Gives you access to all the png files and such. Once you get more familiar then choose "decompile" so you can edit the xml files (change text color etc). Hope that helps

Actually nvm I figured it out :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MAGiK9:
I did watch the video. There are some steps he skips, however. Like selecting the framework, he never tells you how to get it in the folder. I figured it out, eventually.. but I still don't know how to get it onto my phone using the SDK that he uses. That is my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
Ive been at this for about an hour lol. I figured out how to push the file but I couldnt do it from /tools/ so I tried pushing the apk from /platform-tools/ and it worked the only problem is that I edited the battery colors just to test and see if it would work. They were supposed to be red but their still the same color.

Btw to the above post, go to cmd and type "cd c:/" and then wherever your sdk is located. Unless thats not what your talking about then idk =/

Update: It worked...but...bootloops so I had to push the original frameworkres and it booted up and when I re-pushed the one I edited it still gives me a bootloop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:

Nice widget.

Somehow the market download takes forever (slow cloud perhaps)

One suggestion: A different charging icon for fast(AC)/slow(USB) charging.

Its hard to find this on the market unless you add a few words from "west coast labs" to the search.
[Android Apps and Games] ts3li0t:
i don't see the wiget after installing your app?
[Android Apps and Games] philleonard:
Thanks for your replys guys!

britoso: Yes i agree with the different symbols for charging types. The download speed im unsure about, Its only 129Kb.

ts3li0t: Yeah i noticed this was a problem with some devices. A restart of the device has fixed it for the two cases i have seen with friends devices. Hopefully that will work for you. (It doesn't have an app launcher so its only in the list of widgets if thats why you cant see it). I have also seen it with other developers widgets too.. odd :P

Thanks for taking the time guys, really appreciate it!
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
The battery percentage text gets half cut off when my tablet (touchpad, cm9) is in landscape mode. Maybe the widget should be a few pixels taller.

Small Update: Level now drops when it's less than 11% and again at less than 6%, with crossed eyes! Orange level at less than 31%.

And thanks for pointing that out britoso. I have only just seen your comment, but will fix it for the next update. What launcher are you using if I may ask so that i could test it out to make sure its running well? :) Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
late post sry, it must have been a problem with the launcher (nova/tribuchet), now that widgets can be re-sized its a non-issue.

Another small update (Not worthy of a new thread) :P

You should have a menu that looks like this... Otherwise tether options may be disabled on wifi only builds. If so, that's something we can look at.

Yes, it looks like tether options are disabled on wifi-only devices. Which probably makes sense in general but I have a special use case.
