Your phone is already rooted so don't worry about trying to get that. It is already unlocked. First you need to get a custom recovery. Download this file:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0d1pir6ea2yqp0y/bRcbIfF2J1/PC36IMG-Amon-v3.11.zip

Rename it to exactly PC36IMG.zip (!!it is case sensitive!!). Place it on the main directory of your SD card (not in any folders). Pull battery out and put back in. Power on phone by holding in the volume- and power button until the phone boots to bootloader. It will automatically scan and find the file and ask you to apply. Say yes. Now you will have a custom recovery to flash a rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TudorBlue:
Not long had a Samsung Galaxy S2. I like it, its decent but one feature I cannot find which was on the Galaxy S 1 is the add me setting/feature on the camaera. Had l,oads of laughs with this when I had my original Galaxy S1. Ive looked through every setting but cant find it, so its safe to assume that Samsung left it out of the Galaxy S2. Is there any way to fix it OR is it a feature on any customs roms?? If so, I will root my phone. Thanks in advance guys:confused::confused::o

Hello. I have an interview with Sprint on Friday for a job as a Retail Consultant. I figured i would be great for the job because I have a background in sales, a big fan of Sprint and an even bigger fan of cell phones. I am very excited for the job opportunity. Was just wondering first if there was any advice any current or previous employees could give me on getting hired or do's or dont's or w/e (or any other advice regarding employment by Sprint). Second not to get ahead of my self but was also just wondering what benefits or discounts (ie free lines or early upgrades) I would receive with the job. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

2) $29.99 Free & Clear Plan, 3000 minutes, Unlimited Text, and Data, but no subsidized devices. However, Sprint Rewards Me Plus allows you to buy a new phone every 6 months for the discounted price off-contract.

Good luck. I wish I could give you a reference but everyone I know at Sprint works at the corporate office and not in retail. So, the only time you would see them is when you read the name of the person who signs you checks.

But seriously, everytime you look up something on the computer you can thank my Mom. She designed the storage systems.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kawaski47:
I have been thinking about my skills and I that if I'm in sales then I have to love what I sell. Well I love cell phones so I think that would be cake for me since I can talk non stop about them. Question is though how viable of the career is this for someone in their mid twenties, have a three year old son, on his own... Etc... Basically is a job at the sprint store a viable option for a career for me? Or is it more of a high school thing?

Sorry for derailing te thread btw. Hope you get the job!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
you get two year pricing (no MIR) once per year on handsets, and free service for your personal line. (EDRP)

You get 25% off of accessories, and up to 20 advantage club lines.

I worked at sprint for almost 3 years, I now work at Chase, but you should be happy with the position as long as you dont mind retail hours and holidays, and dealing with the most demanding (and arrogant) customers in retail. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
They stopped the 6month offer when the iphone came out now everybody gets the same 20 months no matter what.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PlagaDeRock:
I went through 3 total interviews with sprint trying to get a job there. Each one went great, but ultimately never got the final call back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
I am a father of 3 and the does not work and I make enough to pay our bills in california of all places , so I would have to say it is a viable career, remember that if you do get hired this is corporate and they take care of us better than you average commission based 3rd party retailer benifits 401k stock investment and yes a free personal line for yourself + 30 advantage lines for freinds and fam.

Pretty Viable, but in sales it is about your own skill and dedication that makes it that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
I'm not surewhat the true differences between corporate and preferred are as I seemingly get what all the corporate wigs get and more at my indirect store. Except for the advantage plus plan lol but truthfully I don't believe I would use it.

I started in retail a long time ago (pre-merger, legacy Sprint), and can tell you, it's an awesome place to work. I'm now in corporate, and extremely happy here.

Yea there is the grind, etc. but there are also opportunities that often come up that you might not even be aware of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clamknuckle:
Rewards me plus isn't for corporate employees, at least, I've never heard of it, ever, and I've been here 6 years.

The upgrades for employees are every 20 months now.

If you can sell well, you can make a LOT of money. I know sales reps that pull in 6 figures.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Just got hired myself.

I just got hired there a month and a half ago, and I work at the Retail Store on the Sprint World Headquarters Campus. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is about the third interview. If its anything like mine was, you will interview with the DM, and he will try to scare the living s**t out of you about the job. He will set up next to impossible situations, and ask you how to solve them. The questions start out easy enough, but he then will take away each option you come up with. This does two things: to see your problem solving abilities, and to see how you would handle an irate customer. He will try to make you feel insecure about the spot, telling you how difficult the job can be because of the irate customers. He will then ask you what makes you most nervous about the job. He will further explain how you will encounter many of these no win situations on a regular basis, and you will have to deal with many, many upset customers. Then he will ask you again if you are nervous.

It is NOT as bad as he makes it sound. DO NOT be nervous about it. And, if you keep a smile on your face, no matter what the customer may say to you, let them vent, and then address their concerns, you can easily flip the irate customer 180.

If you show nervousness or they believe you might not be able to handle the pressure of dealing with the customers, you will not get hired. You want to sound confidant in your abilities to handle anything thrown at you, while not sounding egotistical.

With all the great advice everyone is giving you, you have got this in the bag. Good luck!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MeWarning:
I bought my E4GT the day it came out and as I was just joking around with the sales guy(this was a corporate store) he mentioned employees have to wait awhile before they're allowed to buy some of the new phones. He said it would probably be a months before he would be allowed by Sprint to buy one of ours and he said they had to wait something like 4 months or something like that before they were allowed to get others like when the EVO 3D came out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Yeah, its a customer service thing. Sprint employees nearly 50,000 people. If we were allowed to buy the new phones the moment they came out, we would go through most of the initial stock of phones. So we have hold times comparable to the supply / demand chain. Companies like lg have little wait time, because nobody cares. Samsung has little wait time, because they actually make enough. HTC and Motorola have longer wait times because they don't put out as many at first to see how it goes. Apple likes to apple things up a bit and puts out 6 phones to last the first month, so the wait times on those are ridiculous.

Thanks for asking. It went well. I think they really liked me. We talked for awhile and I told them about my afinity for Sprint and cell phones and how im always flashing roms and visiting xda. They said i might even be better as a technician, and that that position had recently open as well. Also that they were going to call me in the middle of the week to set up another interview. SO AWSOME! ! ! Fingers crossed lol!

When it comes to cell phones most managers could care less about you're knowledge of them or your ability to sell a phone. Most reps are fairly clueless when it comes to actual phone knowledge. They basically want someone that can sell new activations.. That's the name of the game. Phones sell themselves for the most part.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigRitz:
Hopefully the Tech thing works out for you , that being said I know my manager and DM would not have hired me if the words root or XDA would have come out of my mouth during an interview. Knowing how to root and a lot about devices is not always a good thing to the Sprint store manager to them it is a customer service nightmare as the first time you decide to cross that line and help a customer and it goes wrong..... man here comes issues left and right... cust " he broke my phone he said he could make it better he said it wouldnt ruin anything he said he said he said " its just not anything they want to deal with especially when they have to now cost enventory to swap a device that you broke.

Again please realize Im not ragging on you I hope you get the job there should be more of us in the industry who do this for the love of the equipment anf learning but as mentioned above this to Sprint is a business, and they make money off activations and bringing oin long term customers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brekec88:
I get were your coming from but it honestly had the opposite affect. They didnt really know to much about it but they said ALL there tecs root there device. I think it gives me a head up becuse I already know 1000x more than the average user of this phone ( and Androids in general), and they seemed to like that. I didnt really just throw it out there ,	I was telling them how much I was into phones and they asked what I did with them. Hopefully it doesnt affect there decision but they want me to meet the head technician at the next interview.

And I would never root a customers device lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] air2k57:
Not with current traffic we have in this state lol. Sucks really, every store has been dead this year. Last month I was top in my district, good commission check, but far from being close to six figures.

If you work at a good sales store with a good crew, it is a good job. I'm in college and they work with my changing school schedule, reimburse some tuition, and we have fun at work. Can't beat free employee line either.

It is bs at times, like how they require you to sell phone connect now :/. Anyways, good gig, you will get frustrated with systems at times, customers, just like any retail. If you work at service and repair store, prepare for *****y and way demanding customers.

When I got hired as a technician they really looked at your repairing and traige skills. As far as the sales go... I got hired as a tech with NO people skills whatsoever. When it was slow I watched youtube videos on how to sell. mainly selling cars because they go hard at selling. I practiced my people skills with service and repair customers. Learned how to sell and became a Hybrid as they call it here at Sprint. You should deff deff deff try to become a hybrid. You get comissions off repairs and sales. Double commision means double the salary! Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
money is everything.. unfortunately a company focused on sales isnt always the best.. they always try to sell me something i dont want or need which in turn ruins my trust with sprint..what ever happened to the companies that do real needs assessments and will be honest and tell you when you dont need something? as far as tech goes, from what ive seen/heard from sprint techs you dont need to have much skills or knowledge to be one at sprint.. sad that i try to prevent going to the stores because they rarely fix the problem.. your better off searching xda or the internet and fixing your own phones then going to a repair center lol

Congrats on the Job and good luck! Don't know if I could do sales..

And, to answer your question, lil lady says she only knows of Sero (Everything Plus) discounts, not free service. She works for 'em. (I would assume the the free part comes like for me, it's a provided phone from my company so I can do my job 24/7. Or so they would like me to..cough cough. Or that they are travelers for the company.)

I think the only ones who get free service are execs and GMs. All the lowly slaves just get a discount and maybe a free phone (idk if they still get free devices or not)

Having successfully rooted the phone, I did the following;

1. Copy your custom ROM "zip" file to your SD card (Root directory).

2. Turn off your phone.

3. Turn on your phone by holding the power button and the volume down button together.

4. Once you see the white screen, choose "Recovery"

5. Make a full wipe/format and clear all cache.

6. Choose "install from sdcard/zip file" and then choose your Custom ROM zip file from your SD card to flash your Custom ROM.

The following then comes up; Clockworkmod recovery V5.0.2.0

Every single person on this particular device forum will stand by his custom ROM. I do not know a SINGLE person who has tried a custom ROM and has gone back to a branded/stock ROM except for warranty purposes...

There may be one or two wildcard exceptions (can't vouch for all the nuts out there) but custom ROMs are waaaaay better than the stock when it comes to speed, battery as well as features.
