I actually put together a more streamlined package on the other thread. If someone could test it out, that would help others.

Inspired by the above enthusiasm, I put together a quick package to simplify rooting for your phone (if I had a phone to use, I could put together something even simpler)

Keep in mind, I'm doing this all "blind" since I don't have a phone. This procedure might not work, but should be pretty close to working. With some feedback I can fix it up quickly.

Thanks - chris41g for EK02+CWM zImage, themac79 for FB14 zImage, Margey for testing and helping work out root procedure

1) download the USCC rooting package

[USCCROOT-sfx.exe]

2) extract the files

USCCROOT-sfx.exe is a 7zip self-extractor that contains all the files you'll need. Just double-click in windows and specify where you want to extract, we'll assume C:\

3) connect phone to PC

make sure USB drivers are installed

enable USB debugging (menu->settings->applications->development)

4) install E4GT EK02 kernel+CWM using ODIN OneClick

double-click on C:\USCCROOT\e4gtauto-sfx.exe

double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SPH-D710.EK02_KERNEL_CWM-OneClick.exe (thanks chris41g for zImage)

E4GTAUTO: select Option E (Extra Options), then Option H (Reboot to ODIN Download Mode), press any key to continue, then select Option J (Previous Menu)

ODIN-OC: Wait until yellow COM port shows up in ODIN OneClick window

ODIN-OC: Press Start on the ODIN OneClick screen

Phone will reboot when done

ODIN-OC: Close the ODIN OneClick window

5) Install persistent root

E4GTAUTO: select Option A (Install Root)

E4GTAUTO: when done, press any key to reboot, then any key to continue

6) install USCC FB14 kernel using ODIN OneClick

double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SCH-R760.FB14_KERNEL-OneClick.exe (thanks themac79 for zImage)

E4GTAUTO: select Option E (Extra Options), then Option H (Reboot to ODIN Download Mode), press any key to continue

ODIN-OC: Wait until yellow COM port shows up in ODIN OneClick window

ODIN-OC: Press Start on the ODIN OneClick screen

Phone will reboot when done

ODIN-OC: Close the ODIN OneClick window

7) you are done

E4GTAUTO: select Option K (Exit)

2. My only problem is that i want clockworkmod to do a rom backup but having problems loading it in. I downloaded the app and flashed and reboot to recovery and nothing.

Do we have a release for this and if not can I use a similar .tar to do so. I just don't want to brick my phone.

thanks

Phone:

Android Version: 2.3.6

And again the new release of the samsung gs2 for USCC

Second time's a charm I guess..

Hi All,

I'm getting ready to replace my USCC Mez with something new.

I'm torn between the Galaxy S II and the Aviator.

My main concern with either is the availability of custom ROMs and extensive development.

Which phone would be better in your opinion?

Are there any custom ROMs for either phone yet?

My searching has turned up a few discussions, but no real useful info.

Thanks in advance,

Elmojo

Is there any information on how to backup your current rom or flash back to stock rom? I'm really paranoid and I'm trying to be as cautious as possible about this so I don't brick my phone, also so I have a backup plan in case something goes wrong and I have to send it in or something.

Hey all, I was wondering where to find the USCC stock tar for this phone. I have a problem that my phone restarts when it goes to sleep and I need to reset to fix it hopefully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sparkplugDev:
So I want to help my cousin Root his USCC GSII, He hates touchwiz (and I can't blame him) and has been considering switching to iphone. I want to preserve his faith in Android and flash CM9 to his phone. I want to go into this cautiously because I want to make sure I don't brick his phone. I went to this page: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1342728 and I am a little lost. I haven't actually looked at his phone yet and it may become very obvious when I do but what am I looking for here? Quite frankly though, since I am flashing CM9 anyway, could I just boot into CWM after I flash the acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar and flash CM9? I have been looking at Rooting other versions of the GSII (specifically t-mobile) and all you need to do after flashing clockwork is flash su through clockwork and you're done. I can see that somehow this .tar changes the kernel and you need to reflash the stock kernel to get back to a bootable phone but since I am not going back to stock could I just hold down vol. up & down + power to boot into CWM, make a nandroid for safety but then wipe and flash CM9, or do you have to complete the process before going back and flashing a ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lost In Xanadu:
Thanks!

The streamlined approach worked perfectly for me.

One issue with my wife's phone though. I followed the exact same instructions, and got different results with my wife's phone. When going into file explorer, I see superuser and some install-boot files, but when comparing to mine, her phone is missing busybox, su, and a few install-boot files.

I followed the streamlined instructions both times, and got different result. Any ideas??

Hey guys, I've been having trouble rooting my SCH-R760 GS2 all day. I've been working for hours and I finally found this website. It seemed simple at first, but now my phone seems to be stuck in the download phase after initiating the E4GTAUTO Reboot to ODIN Download Mode. Please help, I've tried this about three times already.

Hmm... after root my G2 keeps restarting every 5 minutes or so... I can re install using the simple upgrade tool from Samsung to repair the issue, but no root :( I've tried flashing my rom first, as well as clearing out my default cache (both before and after rooting) but i cant get it to work without the restarting issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

also, i hear that this version is identical to the Sprint Epic 4g Touch. is this true and would a tutorial for rooting this phone work for mine as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Conscript69:
My sch-r760 will not successfully boot using the ek02 kernel as directed in the thread, and using fb14 ultimately leads to permission issues with installing root. Ultimately i've failed using your provided method on my phone.

Odin

Android SDK with ADB set up. (I recommend adding to your path.)

One of Agat's repacks - you can pick between FL04, FL16, OR GA10.

Broadband to upload a rather large file.

This should give a hint what you'd be working on.

Hey i have a us cellular s2 and i tried this and was unsuccessful. Messed up my phone and i had to have it reset. Not a big deal but i was curious if you could make a video for it? There are tons of video on how to do it for at&t and t-mobile but nothing for us cellular. And i really need to have my phone rooted so i can use it with this dam Appradio 2 that has been giving me so many problems.

Also not sure if it makes a difference but i had sent my s2 to Samsung last month to have the charge port fixed and when i got it back it had an updated software on it. Id you need my kernel number or anything i can provide that if it will help. Im currently on version 4.0.4 ICS

I have update my battery mod (seen here and here) with better colors (less bright yellow!!), less noise around the numbers, and a new charging icon (abiet minorly changed).

Here are the gifs just like before (notice that the charging icons are included now):

I spent more time on this than version #1 making sure that it looked good and that all the colors matched together and with the general android theme. I started the yellow a little sooner and have the red start coming in at around 10-13% instead of 7-10% before. I have also removed some of the flashier red glow that showed up from 0-5% and so all in all this is a very simple and clean battery mod. And here's another shout out to lex_is300 whom I took the basic design from.

I am not sure why it is not lined up with the wifi icon when you open notifications and I haven't tested other battery mods to see if this is normal. If I get around to it or if someone lets me know their thoughts I can look into it more.

Download the CWM flashable zip here (the standard SystemUI.apk from stock CM9A2): http://www.mediafire...y04n4jcj06vjbxy

Ok total noob here. Managed to get the tablet to boot from sd. Didn`t flash anything or root I think. Only thing that was done was partition sd card option and now will not turn on. Tried holding down power and home and volume, sd card removed. Not sure if it`s the 8gb or 16gb model as don`t have the box. The last thing it did before the battery went flat was a black screen which it hung on after the partition. Any help would be great as just want it back to factory settings
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
OMG you repartitioned without know if its a 16GB. Your device it's most likely 8GB because repartitioning a 16GB Nook Tablet has not bricked any device so far instructions are clear and also states it is for a 16GB NT.

First you need to make sure if its indeed a nook tablet 8 or 16GB. Plug in your NT to your PC and see if it boots from sdcard, you need to make it boot in order to fix it. Adam Outler has released an unbrick method for 8GB recently, you can find it in development section.

Good Luck!

[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
Could this be true?

Verizon and authorized dealers are almost hiding the Rezound from customers. I have been in a number of stores where the Rez was either not on the sales floor or was over powered by other phones like the Razr or Gnex.

I always wondered why Verizon would do this considering the power of the phone and the millions that went into promoting the Rezound before launch.

Could the reason be because Verizon is pissed that HTC took the ONE series to another provider and left them high and dry? Also there is no HTC phone coming up at Verizon (I could be wrong about that so don't kill me).

What do you think?

[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
not every verizon store has pulled the rezound from the displays. they still have them in stock. the problem is neither the rezound or the gnexus sold well. i chalk it up to virtually no advertisement. 98% of any commercial ive seen was for the razr.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I'm not sure its lack of advertising so much as the Rezound & the Nexus are not really what the average Joe Schmo customer is looking for.

I recently ran into a couple really smart, really rich guys I have known for years & both where using iphones. One guy lives on Cape Cod (in a 3 million dollar house) & I stay with him for a week every Summer. When I was there, him/his Wife/his son & his daughter where all using iphones.

When I asked him what the appeal was, he said "I just want it to work & the iphone has never let me down. It also has great battery life & does everything I need it to do"

Both guys could care less about customizing/unlocked bootloaders/custom ROMs etc. Heck, none of them had changed anything but the wallpaper in their phones & they LOVE them.

Users here would NEVER be happy with the restrictions of an iphone, but we ARE NOT the typical average VZ customer by any means. We are a tiny fraction of actual users.
[HTC Rezound] joblabbo:
Without a doubt VZW is forcing every sales rep to push Razr's. Everytime I had to visit a retail store in the last few months the rep would go out of their way to recommend or suggest that I look at the Razr.

Sales representatives are just manufacturer lobbyist now, most can't tell you the specs without looking at the data sheets.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
you know why we're forced to push the razr? they offer a spiff. it adds more money to what we make every time we sell, and Motorola has a website where you register sales and win prizes for selling them. honestly, I'm liking the razr more and more each day. my boss got the razr maxx and loves it.. came from the Inc 2 with extended battery. the maxx is thinner than the rezound! lol.. either way, that's why we push the razr. thing is, i've got four rezounds in stock that i can not get rid of because we can't sell them at 199 because we'll be negative for each phone. verizon really screws us with these constantly changing prices
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
i won't lie, as much as i like the rezound id take a razr maxx in a heartbeat.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Only reason I'd take a Razr Maxx is the fact the battery is superior.
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
The battery issue is starting to resonate.. I've been thinking of the Razr a lot lately..
[HTC Rezound] mighty_markus12:
yeah same here, the rezounds battery life isn't very good at all. funny thing is i could slap a rezound battery in a thunderbolt and go 24hrs+ but on this device im lucky if i get 12hrs.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
This. My wife rocks the TB and it kills me how much better the battery life is. I think there may have been some kind of hardware flaw baked into the rezound. Eating up 800+ mA just from turning on the screen is crazy! (Although, the screen is so sick!)

I still dig the phone, but I feel like its going to be a long 2 years when its all said and done. Having to be constantly plugged in is a *****. This post just cost 3% LOL!
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
I think you're right. I cant remember seeing any verizon smartphone commercials other than their annoying droid razr commercials every 5 seconds all day long. I dont know if its verizon or motorola footing the bill for that advertising but its got to be expensive.
[HTC Rezound] joeydanger:
It seems weird that for such a great phone, I had to walk to the back of the store to find it (after another store in town didn't carry it). Verizon also had the iPhones in the back corner, actually further back than my gem of a phone. I love the Rezound and love that HTC has made leaps and bounds past their older models (former EVO 4G owner). The battery life is much better than before, but I know it's still not perfect. I can't complain though with 20 hour battery life with listening to music 5 hours straight and using the navigation for a half hour, along with constant email/messaging/data usage.
