thanks, man

Welcome To the Epic 4g Touch

I am enjoying doing the noob thing right. I've read a ton of threads, great developers here that offer a ton of support, smart testers who give good feedback that gets incorporated into subsequent work... I've searched for all my questions and will say that I have yet to have a question that has not already been asked and answered. Starting with THIS guide thread you made here was awesome. The videos by qbking77 were handy to start off with. They are slow and simple, but that is exactly what we new users need to follow in order to not break our new toys, and to not ask questions about how to up-screwup our phones. I have tried to click Thanks all over the place for so much good work all around. I thought I'd actually REPLY on your thread here, since the guide is where I started. Thanks, man. I appreciate your time.

Fantastic Thread

Just upgraded one of my phones from the OG Epic to the E4GT a few days ago and I wish I had read this thread FIRST. Would've saved me a bunch of hours of sifting through threads and a headache or two! :o So far it seems the E4GT community is very friendly, organized and there's surely no shortage of development to keep me busy playing with my new toy. Thanks for the great thread and here's looking forward to learning with/from you all. Cheers!

Thanks OP, this guide has valuable and important information. I am working on developing an app onPhoneGapp and need to root my E4GT to install the app, can say that it was sucessful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] velocity250:
Just got the E4GT and love it. Amazing job explaining everything and including the links. Many thanks!!! I bought this one directly from Boost so I don't know how much carries over from Sprint's modems, roms, etc. I heard all and then have heard none. If anybody knows the answer to that it would be awesome. Again, great post!!

Virgin Mobile SPH-D710-VMUB

So Virgin Mobile US now sells the Epic 4G Touch under the name Galaxy S II 4G. The model number is SPH-D710-VMUB. It comes with ICS off the shelf.

So. How can I root it? All the FAQs are about Sprint phones, and the few that mention VM are generally talking about pulling service off an existing low-end VM phone to use it on a wiped Sprint phone. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the info regarding getting custom roms running on this device, I'm finally happy with my phone's performance. Second, I wanted to make a suggestion for this thread

Having read it multiple times (as well as the other stickies), and getting overly paranoid over the possibility of bricking my phone, as well as instructions that seem to be different for GB and ICS (but really the only difference is flashing to safe recovery), I got really confused about the custom ROM process, spending entire day researching unrelated threads. There is a lot of good information in here, but I wouldn't say it's beginner-friendly (imagine if you went to buy a car and the salesman started warning you of all the possible ways you can total it if you're not careful). I'd suggest appending a quick summary to the top. Really the only thing a first-comer needs to understand is this:

In order to get a custom ROM running from a vanilla ET4G (regardless of your current version, GB/ICS), you need to follow these steps (which should only take 15-20 mins, and will avoid bricking the phone):

0: backup any data you want, it will all get erased

1: root the phone (by download self-extracting pre-rooted ODIN ROM with same version as your current android to your PC, and flashing it over existing ROM on the phone)

2: get necessary files on your phone (google 'el29 direct boot', copy that to your phone, copy 'MobileODIN Lite' to your phone, copy the ROM you want to your phone, unplug phone from PC) (if you follow this step, it will avoid bricking, regardless of current version)

3: overwrite stock recovery with custom one (install MobileODIN, select EL29 Direct Boot you downloaded, and flash it)

4: install the ROM (once in CWM, clear cache, clear Dalvick cache, wipe all data, select the ROM you uploaded to the phone and install it)

If you decide to try a different ROM, repeat, skipping step 1.

No mobile data

Ok, i know i'm late as all things holy, but i just recently decided to do the whole shabang on my SPH-D710VMUB. I downloaded cm 10.2 worked fine except for NO MOBILE DATA. It does say everything is Sprint which I can see that is the problem. I've read that flashing this ROM with JB will not give you data. So I flashed a stock ROM (ICS), flashed custom recovery, then flashed cm 10.2 again, still NO MOBILE DATA. I'm no newbie but i'm by no means an expert so I'm a little stuck at the moment. Please every link I find is closed or not working anymore. Like I said I know i'm late but any information would be useful.

Also, big issue I have with this phone is the phantom menu and search button pushing. It used to happen somewhat all the time with bad signal. Not so much on wifi. Now, i'm on a new WIFI and the cm 10.2 flashed, it does the button pushing CONSTANTLY. I've figured ways around it by remapping the buttons but it still vibrates and everything like its being pushed. Was wondering is there a way to fix this problem? I heard a screen fix fixed the problem but I want to know for sure. It seems to me a software issue because in the custom recovery, it doesn't do it. But when the phone is on it does it.

Please please need help

There was a virus/trojan/whatever that caused the DNS servers to be changed on people's computers. The FBI stepped in and set up DNS servers using the hijacked addresses so that lookups would still continue. As of last night, the FBI shut those down so anyone still infected can't do DNS lookups anymore.

Unplugging your modem won't do jack to help.

This is a revamped version of the "Quietly Rooted" boot animation released a few years ago. At 1280x720, the animation is gorgeous. Rendered in Cinema 4D specifically for the HTC EVO 3D. If you have speed issues, please tell me.

HOW TO INSTALL

1. Flash the zip through recovery, and your done.

(You may want to back up your stock Sprint_bootanimation before installation)

[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i dl'ed and can tell you that you'll get a black screen again
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
give that one a flash should be good to go.(all zipped up for flashing in recovery no need to rename )
[HTC EVO 3D] TheKnux:
So I don't need to rename it back to the spc bootanimation?
[HTC EVO 3D] cburk01:
Okay, dased, that's beyond great :)

But, one issue, the animation loops until the phone starts. I know you have to do something to the desc.txt, but I don't know what it is XD. If you could do that for me, I will post it in the OP and give you credit. Also, will you allow me to reuse the flash able CWM zip? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
sure go ahead,

(you had your desc like this

540 960 24

p 1 android(this is what caused your black screen problem)

should look like this(for this animation anyway)

540 960 24

p 1 0 android(for no loop)

or 540 960 24

p 0 0 android(for loop until boot up )

if you use p 0 0 xxx as the last line before the hard break(hit enter after the last line of text) it will loop

if you want to stop the looping just open the animation itself(inside the flashable zip just change the p 0 0 android to p 1 0 android) if you do that i would copy the last image frame stick in new folder(rename the new folder to anything you like) and change the desc to

540 960 24

p 1 0 android

p 0 0 android2(can be any name you wish it to be)

so it doesnt leave black screen until boot up(but thats just me)will have just that one image on loop until booup

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

nope should just flash in recovery

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

oh and inside that zip there is a new default.xml that will add boot and down animation sound (you can remove that if you wish your choice just delete the CID folder)and moves both boot and down animations and sounds for them to system/customize/resource.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheKnux:
Not having the looping problem but after it shows HTC quietly rooted, it goes away and just shows a white screen until phone boots up. Also, I seen the PlayStation one bootanimation with the startup sound I think in the HTC wildfire s forums but never got it to work. Can anyone get it to work for the evo 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Yep i can

And not a looping problem was made to loop:D
