[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MattMatt0240:
Alright, first of all, I'm new to rooting samsung devices and ODIN. From my understanding, I should be able to install CWM-AGAT after this root method for FH13, and install a custom ROM afterwards in recovery (EX: CM9/CM10). I appreciate all the Devs' hard work, thanks ahead of time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidModder:
Yes sir! CwM is whats flashed at stock root but you can install a zip for another recovery over cwm
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sdnegus:
there is no custom recovery when i flash. can someone link me to a flashable recovery that is safe for this version?

There wasnt a recovery? Are ya sure? I had a CWM-Based.tar.md5 installed when I did it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magnum_Enforcer:
So when I flashed this through Odin, CWM was installed?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidModder:
It was or wasn't?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magnum_Enforcer:
I'm asking if it was SUPPOSED to be installed when I installed the ROM via Odin? I don't have the phone in front of me to check it myself.

Edit: Just checked to see what recovery was on the phone. It's the stock Android system recovery, not CWM. Guess I'll flash that at some point.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidModder:
That's ridiculous when I rooted, Odin flashed the recovery. However, please note this was intended for FH13
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bongzilla:
i can also confirm that no recovery was installed over stock android

very good write up! quick and easy. thanks!

i just came over from a 3vo, where CWM was not the best recovery for our phones

can anyone recommend the best recovery to use and possibly link? (maybe its CWM)

People new to this phone, read this

Everyone should read this before flashing anything:

That thread gives basic explanations of what will brick the phone and how to avoid it. With the brick bug that this phone has, you have to be even more diligent to avoid it. Very experienced developers have ended up with paperweights.

Droidmodder, you might want to put a link to that thread in the OP. If people are looking for instructions to root, they definitely need to read that thread as well.

For anyone who also wants more in depth information about the brickbug read this thread also:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidModder:
Thank you, ill be sure to add it to the OP to prevent any soft bricks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
I am not talking about soft bricks. I am talking about unrecoverable paperweights.

I know that you mean well by making these tutorials, but please read all of the stickies for the device that you are giving instructions for. To not be aware of this at all points to the probability that you just transcribed QBKing's you tube video. Keep the spirit of wanting to help, just research a little more.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
Yes you have a very good point. :) Also with this phone recoveries are packed into the kernel, not seperate. you must flash a custom kernel to have a custom/safe recovery. Do not wipe from a stock kernel/recovery. (notice driftinganomaly's refernce to paperweight)

Know "safe" custom recoveries: (I recommend flashing via ODIN or Mobile ODIN) safest way

Agats custom kernel/recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 (.tar file)

Also OP The FI27 OTA is available. Same steps as FH13 to root. found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

Just for getting custom recovery add ODIN kernel/recovery.

The steps are:

1) put phone in download mode as before to root the phone

2) open ODIN and make sure on the left side only auto reboot is checked

3) load the .tar file you downloaded in the PDA slot

4) connect you phone with the usb cable. (yellow COM:) will show in ODIN that you are connected

5) press start and ODIN will flash the kernel/recovery for you and reboot your phone when it is done

(you will see a green pass when it is done)

6) you have a custom recovery to wipe and flash ROMs with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidModder:
Thanks. I'LL update the OP for sure, I just have one too many projects goint on and im very busy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Thanks for putting this together!

Don't know if you want to add it to the OP but I now have instructions on the Repo on how to gain Root access without flashing the full ROM. Instructions are available at http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/HowToRoot.html

Just to echo what others have said I'd maybe just add a big disclaimer asking everyone to read the "How Not To Brick Your E4GT" thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525495) before flashing anything to their phone.

Thanks again!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Michael61182:
I hope for a response even though seems as this thread hasn't had a post for a few mmonths now. Will one of these kernels autoroot my phone and are they compatible with fh13 build? The link on first post is broken, I've seen the same file posted on other sites as well, but the links are broken as well. I did download Odin and install the drivers and flashed a kernels so far. The first time it got stuck on boot screen with the yellow triangle. Then I downloaded another kernel, this one rebooted the phone. I downloaded a root checker app and it said it was not rooted. I installed titanium as well, that also said no root. I flashed another kernel, but still no root. My main concern with flashing kernels is if they will work with my build. I have rooted a few phones before, but it seems trickier with this phone. I usually run on linux but could not get it to recognize my phone, also had the same problem with my galaxy tab 2 10.1. I've used an old laptop running windows xp to use Odin. At the moment I'm not even interested in flashing a Rom, just want to delete some stock apps. My roms of choice were always MUIU and Lewa though. I appreciate the help.

I'd post a reply to the official thread, but I still can't as of now due to low number of posts.

So I downloaded S'perience ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888350

Then I tried flashing it as needed. The phone restarts and voila, S'perience. However, I found out that I had lost my root.

Busy Box is installed, but when I checked via Root Checker, it told me that some SU binaries are not present, therefore my phone has lost root.

I tried rerooting my phone and flashing S'perience three times, but the same thing happen. Yeah, I did the usual factory rest, cache and data wipe, etc, and I have no idea why my phone loses root when I flash this ROM.

Can anyone help me?

Okay, so I finally installed S'perience on my LWW. And for the sake of comparison and exploration, I'm trying out Hyperbeam.

So I did the following:

1. flashed .58 firmware,

2. unlocked bootloader

3. installed Rage Kernel

4. CWM

5. wipded data (factory reset)

6. wiped cache

7. wiped dalvik cache

8. flashed base ROM (Hyperbeam)

9. flashed patch

10. flashed lockscreen

Then reboot.

Now, my phone's undergoing bootloop for a good fifteen minutes. And it's still continuing as I type this. Anything I did wrong?

Thank you so much in advance.

Flash a safe kernel like hydracore and then you can directly flash cm10 through cwm
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
You don't need to flash an alternate kernel, you're fine to flash over cm9 kernel straight off. I'd recommend doing a clean install and do full wipes after flashing gapps as dirty installs can cause fc's as well as other lingering problems.

So:

Reboot into recovery, flash paranoid 2.16.

Flash gapps.

Wipe dalvik, cache and data.

Reboot.
