And what about cwm installation after?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Once you get rooted, using the one click or other methods, just use sfhubs autoroot to install agats ff18 kernel with cwm from source and you're good to go.

I admit i haven't paid enough attention to agats thread on fh13 and fh23 to know if they are safe. But ff18 is.

Okay, so basically, I get this error when I try and root my X8 through X8Toolbox.Final

I've rooted my phone through this toolbox already and this problem only started occurring after I re-flashed back to stock with PC Companion.

This is the error:

I'de like to know where the problem persists.

My phone or my PC.

And if anyone could tell me how to fix this, Appreciated.

So after almost 20 years on ATT, have never changed providers, multiple models and makes of phones on ATT and never had a signal issue, outages yes, due to storms but once service back, no complaints

Made the switch for the 1st time over to Sprint, Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB (for some reason the automated system recognizes phones as 32GB).

After 48 hours on Sprint, horrible horrible horrible voice quality issues (ATT has quad band coverage in area, both 3G and 4G) and despite phone being a 4G, can only see 3G icon lit, anywhere within 50 miles of home. I am paying a surcharge of 10.00 extra for 4G for multiple phones, have yet to see the service. Yes, Sprint promised it would work.

Purchased legitimate (yes I know I can root using qbking videos and Team Epic files) wifi hotspot to tether, keeps dropping connection every few minutes where ATT tether was flawless.

Sprint says "we are working on new towers, service will improve, you have 14 days to return phones are we will refund or replace..."

Sigh.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Yes, the $10 fee was originally for wimax 4G, but after people complained Sprint reworded it as "premium data". Now Even smart phones that only have 3G get this charge.

Add far as voice service, yes Sprint is in the middle of their network vision improvements so ymmv, I have great voice service.

Seems you didn't do enough research before you switched to Sprint and went off the sales pitch the person gave you. Sales people in general will say just about anything to make the sale and get the commission.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
The good news is your an educated consumer and you already know you have 14 days to return everything and cancel service and go back to ATT.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pacifik.fuzion:
that's what i would do also. in fact, if sprint's 4g lte service isn't competitive (when it's finally finished) i'm done with sprint and going to at&t.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] siirus09:
1. The GS3 is an LTE phone, not a 4G phone. So if they havent turned on LTE in your area, then yeah no duh you wont get it.

2. You are paying $10 a month for data, not specifically 4G. Yes its BS but deal with it, every company has the charge but in different words.

3. If its not working, complain that you get no service and return it for a refund. You have 14 days.

4. WHY!? Why would you pay? Rooting has 100 different benefits.

My question is, do you even know what you are doing? Did you read ANYTHING about the phone or how it works, did you research the service quality in your area before switching? :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] elephant007:
Where are you located? I can understand your frustration, it's hard for me to believe that you are saying that ATT voice is clearer than Sprints

I mean I guess if you're roaming and on another tower not owned by Sprint

I'm going to guess your location is your major problem, do you live in a rural area? Sprint works really well in Metro areas, not so much in the rural areas although they are broadening their coverage to these type of areas.

In my opinion, CDMA technology has sharper voice than GSM

Too bad you are experiencing this type of issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
If it saves you a year of misery, Sprint's stated *GOAL* for network vision is a pathetic 6 mbps. Compare that *goal* to what people you know are getting with AT&T, Verizon, and even T-mobile *today*, and decide for yourself whether Sprint is even worth bothering with.

Frankly, I'm through with Sprint. If it weren't for the Galaxy Note 2 tantalizing me on or before 10/15, I'd have probably gone to the AT&T store today and bought a GS3 instead. In fact, if they announce a release date after that, I'll just get the S3, becase I hate my unflashable Photon with a passion, and can't replace it with a Sprint S3 because *then* I'd have no usable data service (wimax works ok here, but no LTE yet, and EVDO here has been 6 to ~80kbps down lately. I had faster 1xRTT 5 years ago).

i been telling people to stay clear from sprint for months. I will admit it's bad if your coming from a carrier with usable internet pretty much everyone except Sprint, it will be hard adjusting. I used 8 gigs a month at T-Mobile and with sprint I'm lucky to crack 500 mb. I will be heading back to T-Mobile after dec lesson well learned if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Location, Location, Location.........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Exactly. It's just about stable enough in Dallas that I have ditched my AT&T Note and strictly carry my Sprint phone. Att and Verizon speeds are comparable. Voice quality in this market is unmatched. Sprint wins hands down. whoopdy doo...Tmobile now has unlimited...and is garbage here in big D.

The only one here in the market that may have a competitive edge is Metro with voice over LTE...though their unlImIted data, speeds are capped at 5mbps

I'm not even going to get into the whole grandfathered data on Att being throttled and the new share plans pricing structure being absurd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n@rcotic:
I seriously dont understand how people complain about sprint. Its probably 25-35% cheaper compared to every other contract carrier...and was one of the first contract carriers to offer unlimited data, not sure if it still is. I get many discounts off my bill simply because I have state farm insurance and other various memberships. I had verizon for YEARS, switched to sprint, could hardly tell the difference. 90% of the time its all in your head.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
LTE is 4g....

And because sometimes people are honest? If everyone just stole it, Sprint would be much more likely to figure out a way to block it. If you're going to actually use it regularly I think people should pay for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PR_Grim:
Excelent move
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] splashattack:
I was under the impression that 6mbps was their goal for their average speeds. People with Sprint LTE right now are posting 30 mbps speeds. When I had Verizon I would get 5 mbps on LTE at home, where I had low signal, and 25 to 30 at work, where I had excellent signal. There's a huge difference when talking between peak and average speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
When you leave you will be back, AT&T will still have 2g until 2017, Sprint, and only Verizon will be totally on 4G. do your research choose wisely.

OP do your home work and just leave ntil 4g is in our area. Also the 10.00 surcharge is for unlimited data. Were do you think that would be lower even if you were on 3g 10.00 for unlimited data 3g or not is super cheap. Get a feature phone if you can't get 4g or shut up, because 4g is still not complete and won't be in some areas before 2013. 014 should be totally 4g and VOIP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Stbrightman:
Clueless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
The problem is sprint labeled wimax phones as "4g"

The avg Joe new guy does not realize this. Thus numerous posts on various forums of "I Hafez 4g on my x y z phone why not on this one? This phone must suck"

Poor sales descriptions and poor sales people failed to explain the difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] siirus09:
"Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series does not satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium has adopted for its new standard generation..."

Basically, its only marketed as 4G because it is an advancement in speed from 3G BUT it does not meet the minimum requirements put out by the standard so technically, its not really LTE (which by the way I can already tell you is what Apple will argue in court when Samsung sues for when apple releases the Iphone 5 with LTE). Why should I pay for my already UNLIMITED connection just because I want to use it on my wireless devices? Thats like having to pay extra for using my home broadband/dsl in a wireless setting. Dont let companies fool you.

Id rather have unlimited with a bit less speed than fiber optic light bending speed and a cap of like 3GB before they charge me per megabyte. Enjoy paying for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
well yes, I fully understand the difference.

4g But as ol "joe consumer" defines 4g, LTE, WiMax, HSPA+ are all "4g". Granted likely 95% of the population doesn't get it probably, and salesmen aren't exactly helping the cause, but that's why it pays to be an educated consumer.

And what do you mean it's not really LTE? I could be reading this wrong I guess, LTE But LTE is...LTE. They are already using it as the technology behind the connections, it's just not true 4g as described by 3GPP. Although it does even say the ITU decided they "could" call them 4g technologies...but i get your point.

And I think paying for tethering is bullsh*t. I didn't mean to argue that I just meant that it's something that Sprint want's us to pay for so it still is technically "stealing" and given that, if you're going to actually use it for purposes where you really need it, I think you should pay for it. Just my moral code I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Well Verizon got in trouble for blocking tethering apps.

It's legal to root your phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Well, there's also gripe #2 about Sprint, which ended up being the last straw for me: most of their additional backhaul is coming from Comcast. The problem is, Comcast isn't carrier-grade, and doesn't TRY to be, either. When commercial power goes bye-bye in anything resembling a hurricane or tropical storm, Comcast basically has 6-8 hours of power until it goes dark, and stays that way. This INCLUDES regional HFC backhaul AS WELL AS docsis local loop. Comcast's logic is that if their backhaul loses commercial power, the rest of the area has probably lost power anyway.

For cable TV service, that's annoying, but understandable. For Class 1 telcom, that's totally unacceptable, full stop.

In plain English, that means, "No matter how fast post-NV Sprint might be, 6-8 hours after a storm knocks out commercial power, Sprint is going to be back to single-digit kbps when all data traffic for a tower is getting funneled through their one or two core backup T-1 lines until Comcast gets commercial power restored and comes back online."

Or, put another way, don't think you can depend upon Sprint to save your butt when your Comcast cable modem quits working in a storm, because Sprint will be going down the toilet a few hours later for more or less the same reason.Sprint's towers have backup power, but Comcast doesn't (at least, not "five nines" backup power).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
Not sure where yoh got that info bu comcast isnt suplying the backhaul...not everywhere at least.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
I don't remember exactly where I saw it (probably a post on S4GRU, though probably *not* from Rob himself), but I remember reading that Comcast was, in fact, the chosen backhaul provider in most of South Florida.

To be honest, I kind of hope we get hit by another Tropical storm in September, so I can see firsthand whether AT&T does better than Sprint while I'm still in my 30-day eval. period. In any case, both Sprint & Comcast failed miserably here during Isaac. Comcast was down for ~12 hours on Monday, Sprint/Clear 4g was slow, and Sprint EVDO was slower than circuit-switched CDMA data circa 1999. In fact, I wish I could have remembered how to forcibly launch it (assuming it even still works) to run speedtest on it, too, last Monday.

Really, though, if I had to roll the dice and bet on who's more likely to have high-speed wireless internet during a storm event and at t=6,12,24, and 36 hours after landfall, it would be just about anyone besides Sprint.

I'm sure Sprint will have working voice, SMS, and slow data as quickly or slowly as anyone else... it's just their ability to maintain FAST internet during the storm & immediate aftermath that I'm questioning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
I just really dont know what to say haha. To base carrier choice on which carrier has the fastest internet during a hurricane/time of crisis....I guess to each his own. I would think there would be a few variables there that would be considered uncontrollable( acts of nature...emergency allocation etc lol)

Definitely one I havent heard before.

In April 2011 when tornadoes ripped through Alabama taking out transmission lines (not just local power lines) leaving the area completely in the dark for 5 days I experienced no disruption in my Sprint service, in fact my phone was my lifeline during that time helping me keep up with family and news reports of ongoing rescue/repair operations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
the only the I ever lost service was right after the east coast earth quake, but every carrier did as the towers got over loaded.

But through all power outages hurricanes what not, my phone works perfectly fine. Had to resort to charging it in my car for 4 days after a hurricane.

Evdo is old. When evdo-rev0 came out it was awesome.... because no on cept the few smart phones, blackberries, windows phones and aircards used it. Now everyone including granny's in retirement homes and their 6 year old grand kids have smart phones. They are constantly on the facebooks, twitters, and youtubes.

When you go to a market with 4g, that frees up bandwidth on the 3g network. Which makes everyone happy.

I just tested out lte in a non launched market and got close to 35mb down. Do I expect that at launch? No, I will be sharing with thousands of other people.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Evdo isn't "fast", but Sprint's is *way* worse than it has to be due to inadequate backhaul.

Illustrative example to put it in language semi-technical users can understand. The details are obviously different.

Evdo is kind of like 802.11b. Wimax & LTE are kind of like 802.11n. The problem is that right now, Sprint's '802.11b' is metaphorically connected to 56k dialup, or maybe 128k ISDN, and Sprint's 802.11n is metaphorically connected to economy 1.5mbit DSL... and owned by the neighbor. Sprint pays 2/3 his bill in exchange for being allowed to leech off of it.

Post-NV, Sprint will have a new 802.11n access point of their own (instead of leeching from a poor neighbor with his permission by paying 2/3 his monthly bill), and both that new AP and their old 802.11b one will share the fastest cable internet money can buy, bursting up to 30mbit/sec or more,

Net result: The creaky old 802.11b AP will go from 56k to 11mbit, and the new 802.11n AP will burst up to 30. Ironically, the slow 802.11b AP will end up being faster in most places than the neighbor's 802.11n AP is today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
^well put
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bitbang3r:
Sprint's fundamental problem right now is the fact that their EVDO network is unusable, Wimax is the only thing keeping them viable, and they don't have a single new phone capable of using anything except a network that's still largely a polite fiction -- lush green oases of bandwidth abundance, amidst a harsh data desert mercilessly scoured bare by dialup-speed sub-56kbps drought.

Wimax isn't an albatross around Sprint's neck... it's their life preserver, and Sprint's management is too dense and clueless to realize it.

I didn't leave Sprint because Verizon and AT&T were "faster". I left Sprint because I hated my crippled, locked-down Photon with a passion, and Sprint didn't have a single phone I could replace it with that wouldn't have left me without viable data service for the forseeable future. Let's be honest, Sprint is going to deploy NV to 40% of the sites in South Florida (and Houston, and Atlanta, and everywhere else), then deploy 80% of their crews to other markets, and the remaining 60% is going to drag on for the next two years, with further progress getting slower and slower with each passing month.

Had I been able to buy a $249 Sprint Galaxy S3 with dualmode wimax+LTE chipset, I'd absolutely still be a Sprint customer today. I'd be complaining about slow data and dead zones along the Turnpike through Broward County, but my credit card would still be getting charged by them every month. I laughed when I noticed over the weekend that all of Sprint's phones are at least $50 cheaper than the same phones from AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. At the rate Sprint is going, they won't even be able to give them away for "free" (with 2-year contract and $350 ETF) in a few more months.

At this point, it's too late for Sprint to try and pull a new dualmode phone out of the hat, but there IS one thing they could -- and IMHO, should & MUST -- do if they want to avoid losing at least 10% of their current Android customers over the next 12-24 months: offer to give anybody upgrading from an old Wimax phone to a new LTE phone a data-only plan with tethering for their old wimax phone that's free until 3 months after LTE officially launches in their market, then increases in cost by $5/month every 6 months until they either drop it or decide they might as well just get an additional line of service for the same amount they'd be paying 2-4 years down the road. At least THEN, people with new LTE phones will be able to tether them via wifi to their old phones, and (awkwardly) stumble around with usable data service at home, in their car, at their office, and (with the wimax phone in a back pocket) other places where LTE doesn't exist yet, and EVDO is still dysfunctional & useless.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
It amazes me how Sprint makes you pay for now going over 150$ spending limit. That makes 0 sense to me. I don't want to spend 4.99$ twice a month for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ydoucare:
Sorry, but that's not how it works, at all. Sprint doesn't dispatch a "crew" to certain areas then extract them and send them somewhere else. The OEM's (Samsung, Ericsson, and Alcatel-Lucent) are contracted to do the work, and from there the OEMs subcontract the work locally. When Sprint choses to launch the market, doesn't really have much to do with the work rate of the OEMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duce HD2:
There's good info in this thread. I have to say I'm glad I've tried sprint so that I'll know to never make the same mistake again.

Not saying that other carries are perfect in the least, but sprint definitely has the egde . $40 for data a month and I can barely look up facebook, can't even stream music from a radio app on 3g.

If you live in the sticks, you might have a bad signal. Verizon and ATT have the most towers by far.
