[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You may have heard... the zerglings fought a noble battle against the samdroids and held their own for many battles, but were finally defeated on the EL13 battleground. Starting with EL13 the zergrush exploit is plugged. Do not fear, as the zerglings have enlisted their old ally Odin to fight the next battle for them.

We all owe our gratitude to sextape for providing us the FF18 leak. All your thanks should go in that direction.

This One-Click ODIN contains the

STOCK FF18

Modem/Kernel/ROM for the E4GT.

The modem, kernel and ROM are

EXACTLY

the same as the Official FF18 OTA update as verified using SHA1 checksum and tree comparison. (see this post)

The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of FF18) on top of this w/o issues.

This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.

This does NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.

This is equivalent to using the Auto Root Package on a stock ROM. In fact, if you used that package to UNROOT (Option B) this ROM then it would become 100% stock. After flashing this all functions of that package will be functional.

There are two versions provided, a FULL Restore that resets your whole phone, similar to a factory restore, and a No Data Restore, which is the same, except it preserves your User Data. The NoData version is only suggested if you are upgrading or remaining at the same version.

Instructions

- Video by qbking77 [ODIN One-Click / Install CWM / Review]

0) Backup anything important

and

Disable any PINs

This process will restore you to factory software. All your Android data will be reset.

To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or dropbox.

Note #1:

Please DISABLE any PIN code you may have created to protect your phone. As a security measure, after the flash, Android will ask you for your PIN, if you have one enabled. It is simpler to have no PIN active. If you forgot your PIN then, after the factory restore, just enter the wrong PIN a few times and it will warn you. Enter the wrong PIN again and it will reset the filesystem.

1) Install Samsung USB/Android drivers

(if necessary) [USB/Android]

2) Download the FF18 full restore One-Click self-extractor

SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe [Mirror1 / Mirror2] (RESET user data)

[MD5: 16c7d577feda23d1f4deb448d6453735 / Size: 311,608,965]

SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe [Mirror1 / Mirror2] (PRESERVE user data - do NOT use if downgrading versions)

[MD5: 14ac16b15ef819af73b997a718134aea / Size: 310,594,612]

Mac/Linux

- Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).

Android

- Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).

3) Extract the package

double-click on the self-extractor file, specify the directory to extract to (instructions assume C:\)

4) Start ODIN One-Click

Navigate to C:\Odin-OC

Full: Double-click on SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-OneClick.exe

NoData: Double-click on SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe

Note #1:

On Vista or newer, you may need to right-click on the file and Run as Administrator.

5) Place phone in ODIN download mode

6) Start ODIN flash process

Press [Start]

7) Complete - PASS!

When complete you should see a screen similar to what is shown at top of post

Phone will automatically reboot

Status should change to green PASS!

Boot process will be slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the 4G logo screen.

If you want CWM use Option D in the Auto Root Package to install FF18+CWM-agat-src (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary)

If you need to clear NVRAM/Sprint data login info, perform a ##72786# reset from the Dialer and enter MSL.

Type getprop ril.MSL in adb shell

or

terminal to retrieve your MSL.

For

NoData install

:

- If you are getting random force closes, wipe cache/dalvik-cache

- If you have troubles with Android Market, clear data from

menu->applications->all->market->clear data

- If you have troubles booting into Android, perform factory reset in ICS using the ODIN OneClick Factory Reset tool. Do NOT perform factory resets using stock recovery or privacy->reset, at least until you read about the EMMC superbrick/lockup bug and understand what the trigger points are and what you are exposing yourself to.
