Got my apps back, everything works

So I went through the steps again to root 4.1.2 and was successful! After doing the GB27 repack I checked and no gps, still missing paid apps. Flashed the no triangle .tar and when rebooted all my apps that wouldn't download were already installed. :confused:

Everything works great.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Huh.... I had this problem. Well except for the paid part :silly: but it wouldnt install games like Bejeweled 2 or angry birds. Ya know, large file :laugh: I just left it there (actually forgot about it) then I tried to install and it worked :victory: guess phone was just being stupid. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Anyone got a link to a good CM10.1 ROM that works? I tried one from the USCC GS2 but installation aborted.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Which recovery was you using? And was it for their Jb based S2 ?
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
I actually got one installed with the recovery in this thread but all the apps force closed. I tried different gapps but none worked.
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
OK got the 4.2.1 AOKP ROM running. Now I need help getting my 3G running. I have no clue how to edit apns on jellybean.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Well apparently the APN settings have completely dissapeared and I can't figure out how I fix it. I've searched and searched and nothing will work.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Did you go to voice dialer and say apns? I sometimes for me it wouldnt save after inputting my apns. I'd had to do it a couple of times then it would save it. (note: that was on my fascniate but im sure it doesn't matter).... So my question, you went from JB 4.1.2 to AOKP? How did you do this, with agats recovery? Tell me :D

Nevermind, I lost agat's recovery when I triangled away flashing the stock gb28.... SO how you did you manage AOKP? Team US Cellular?
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
If you download the cm10 rom it eill flash with agats but everything will FC but it gives you cwm recovery so you can reboot into recovery and it will flash aokp. Everything works good but apns. Voice dialer also dont work so I have no idea how to access apns. Im at work but tonight I will work with it some more.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Just again what company are you with? and cant you edit the prop file thing (again imma NOOB) so don't know much about editing build prop files...
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Im with alltel. You can edit the build.prop but I didnt have time before work. Basically, you flash cm10 with agats to get CWM recovery and then it will let you flash the AOKP rom from the us celluar forums. Im sure CWM could be extracted and flashed since it works just fine for me. The AOKP rom with the S4 launcher is amazing. Once I get the apns set up, ill be satisfied. This stock rom just doesent offer enough freedom for me.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Ah well imma wait for you to confirm that it works. :fingers-crossed:.. I know what you mean. Plus I do want the 4.2.2 I don't really like stock... Like my fascinate. I have a lot of roms for it.. MIUI. AOKP. CM9, 10... etc :laugh:
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Well I found some good stuff. There is a .zip that will pretty much port the epic touch 4G ROMs to our phones. I'm fixing to test it out. I had no luck changing apns. I tried converting APN backup and restore to system app. It restored the apns but it didn't fix data. Maybe the ROM convertor will.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
Oh the one on the US cellular site, and alright good luck to ya! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Well I'm still stuck without data. The converter only changed the build.prop to say alltel. Voice dialer works on the new rom i flashed so i was able to get into apn settings but nothing would stick. At this point, I've about given up :(
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
I feel your pain, I flashed several roms on my MX and could never get mms working. I tried everything I could find posted on diff websites :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Well even though I've had barely any sleep trying to figure this out and all I want to do is give up, I'm gonna sign up at the USCC forums and seek help there from the guy who made the converter script. Maybe he can point me in the rite direction.e
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
[MENTION=2928109]brd912[/MENTION]: can ya post a link for the rom that your having problems with concerning the apns?
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2238252

The converter script is suppose to make epic touch ROMs work on our phones. All it does really is flash the apns and a build.prop so I don't see why manually changing the apns isn't working. I've changed it multiple times using root explorer. I accidentally formatted my SD card so I am stuck on this ROM with no backup of my stock/rooted jellybean ROM. May have to use the updater utility to get back to stock.

Another thing, if you decide to try one of the ROMs, you have to flash the CM10 ROM first to get CWM recovery. It will force close everything but you can just boot back into recovery and flash whatever epic touch ROM you want. I've tried a few and everything works except data.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
I just thought of something, and it may work. Since we have Odin, we can flash just the modem.bin but I get conflicting processes. One says you can flash it by simply extracting the bin out of the stock rom. Another says you need to zip it with Cygwin... I'm gonna fire up the pc in the morn and attempt to zip it and our stock kernel, since ive found this info. If I'm successful I'll put it in my dropbox, and you can try it if you wish .:screwy:

Let's try copy/paste one more time..

Bwhahahaha! Can't believe i didid that lol
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Sounds like its worth a shot. I'm almost 100% certain a simple apn change isnt gonna do the trick. I may try it my self. Why pack it with our kernel though? Wouldnt it cause conflict?

[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
So I see there is not a lot of help for the sch-R760 phone, and I've been reading but it’s oh so confusing. I just want to flash my phone so I can use data on another carrier. What do you get when you flash this phone? I like the current setup of my phone just want other carriers. This thread seems the best to get answers. Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
@markmandoo What is ur android version and build number. I'll do some digging..

SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
@Shortyread which carrier? If its us cellular, go to samsung search your phone model select the USCellular. Theyre on ICS it has a tool to help install.. Keep in mind though you wont have data with no one else but them.. Check behind me just too be on the safeside.. Also i agree on not much support for the Generic R760.

SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
I want to use Page plus for service. If you root can you use any carrier?
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Root allows user access to ur core system files,remove bloatware etc..So in short yes. You may need to contact PP and see if they can activate a USCellular phone if so,id look n too the ICS option.

SCH-R760
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
Ok a couple of questions maybe I'm misunderstanding something I have a alltel phone

sch-r760

android 2.3.6

baseband

2:r760.01k.ff24

Don't know if that helps but it is alltel. My nook and droid incredible was easier to understand!!
[Galaxy S II General] markmandoo:
and. = 2.3.6

build = XARFI24

haven't seen any info on this build so far, but I have had limited time to search.
[Galaxy S II General] Shortyred:
How do you tell what your build is? I think mine is xarff24.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
Settings>About phone.

That will give you alot of info.

Wifi tether

okay I am with Alltel and realize no one is making Roms for them because they basically have no more customers. I was able to root my phone using the instructions on this thread. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Model SCH-R760 2.3.6 Kernel FF24 Build XARF124. The root went fine. I have superuser access. I cannot get any of the wifi tether programs to work. Don't think there is another thing I could try. has anyone been able to resolve this? Is there a ROM somewhere? Iv'e read the first 10 pages of the thread, guess I will read to 57, and have found nothing to help. What sucks is I could tether with Fox Fi no root required before root. I have no clue if it would work now. Guess I can try that. The main reason I wanted root access was to tether, All the other things root access allows are nice but I would go back to stock, and use fox fi, if I thought I could get back to stock without screwing something up. I am very new to this. I did manage to root my Samsung galaxy s and had no problem with tether despite not having a ROM. I put one one it and it was for Verizon. Sweet but couldn't text or connect to internet. So back to stock/root I went. The android tether program seems to be the one I have read people have has success with. I get an error about clamp mms. Barnacle just gives all kind of errors. I hope this isn't to much information. I always see you smart guys asking for more information. I tried to make sure I had it all. Please help. All I want is tether. I downloaded some patch to resolve the clamp issue but it didn't work.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

On page 12 or so there is a ROM someone got to work. (daddyodizzel) I've read the following 7 or 8 pages. Still a little weary. I am going to keep reading but if anyone comes across this will you help a brother out? Let me know if it worked for you. Especially if Alltel is your carrier. I am leaning towards giving it a try but am worn out now.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I know This is way after it was talked about but some advice if you are wanting one. My girls both got one for .99 cents. With no upgrades avilable on our plans.The oldest just called and told them she asked every time there is an upgrade if iphones were coming. She was always told no, There answer was they did not even know it was a secret only the top dogs knew. She laid into them about how she woould have waited etc... Long story short is she complained and was able to get the phones.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
As I somewhat read your post... I really couldn't help you out on the wifi tether... I've never used it and the times I've try it doesn't work. Now to business the rom that you saw around page 12-13, etc that was CM9 ICS... It's a good rom don't get me wrong, but why would you get that, when you can get Jelly bean? Also. if you mean by your galaxy S aka Samsung fascinate. I have a couple of roms saved that I've used.... Need to find some of em since I only have one on this laptop.. But yes, I could greatly help with the fascinate... I'm running Avatar MIUI 4.2.2 on it... and if I cant find other roms if you go around xda or rootzwiki find a rom, and I willl gladly try to see if my friend could port it for Alltel. Though that's that. Now that I'm a rant, the only reason I use the S2 (fiance got iPhone :crying: ) is because of the ram. Other than that. I would go back to my fascinate. Which I'll probably switch back and forth. Just let me know if you need help with something. Currently right now, I'm also looking for a new rom. I hate stock always have always will lol. My friend and I have unsuccesfully gotten anywhere lol... But we'll keep trying... It's hard since we're on Jelly bean, usually you have to be ICS to flash a rom.. Since most roms have to be ported form Samsung Epic 4G Touch to ours it's hard, with trying to flash kernels that don't match our phone. Anyways, back to where I was, if you need anything let me know I'll be more than glad to see what I can do. That goes to anyone. I'm sorry I couldn't help with the wifi tether. Best of luck to ya. :laugh:

Backup and restore apn's

Is an app I found. I can't see my apn's from the stock version. I want to try your method, well the method you are pointing to, but am just so new to this I'm afraid I'll screw it all up. Seems straight forward enough. On my galaxy S I installed a rom and the problems I had was couldnt send MMS and no internet connection. I was able to go to stock and it stayed rooted. I wonder if the only thing I need then was APN's? All these terms are new to me. I'm learning them as I read through the thread. I am hoping the app will do all the work of the APN's for me. I have already downloaded it and have a backup. It is on my SD card. So when I put the new ROM on the app will be gone. Correct? I can just download it again and restore APN file which is on my SD card. Correct? I think page 26 is as far as I am going to get for now lot to to take in. I am going to get a little rest then say screw it and give this a try. I want to be able to tether. I figure after installing clockworks if I make a backup I can't go wrong. Just restore the backup and I'll be back where I started. Correct? I know these are dumb questions but I am so new to doing this. The Galaxy S was so easy. This is proving to be a lot more of a challenge..

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

I have a samsung galaxy S2 right now. I rooted it by this thread. Now the wifi isnt working so I am looking for a ROM, may or may not be any better, that will work for Alltel. Your ROM, that you linked to, is the only one I have found. I sold the Galaxy s fascinate. Someone replied that after installing the ROM they had no issues including wifi tether. So I have the APN's backed up. Just a matter of giving it a shot.
[Galaxy S II General] daddyodizzel:
A shame on selling the fassy lol jk :D Yes this phone is quite something... That indeed is the only rom that I've found... Sadly of course.... Oh and I really don't about the app thing... As far as apn. Usually when you're on stock you cant access your apns. have to be set manually... As for that rom cm9 yes making backups is good. Since there's no official stock for our phones. Say, what version of android are you running on your s2?
[Galaxy S II General] hwd23:
Version

It is version 2.3.6 SCH-R760 Kernel FF24 Build XARF124 Gingerbread. Alltel is the carrier. I don't see why the app wouldn't work. It had a back up APN button. It has a restore APN button. If not I'll go back and look at the screenshot you posted. Little confused on a couple things about it but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
[Galaxy S II General] chicinwang:
[MENTION=5229359]hwd23[/MENTION], good luck on the apn's (access point names) I've tried apn back-up and restore, apn shortcut In an attempt to fix LOS (loss of signal) on Alltel, neither of which have worked. I feel it may be in the mms/messaging apk itself, Just my opinion. As far as wireless tether, mine would cycle between connection and a disconnected state. Sorry we couldn't be of more help... :o

Tell us the secret

Sent from my AWESOME ALLTEL S2
[Galaxy S II General] brd912:
Okay.

1. Be rooted and have a backup. (for the the ones who forget this major step)

2. Download your choice of a epic 4G touch ORIGINAL DEV ROM

(as far as i know, the other ROMS will not work) I'm using

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116816

3. Get CWM recovery. I flashed CM10 from team US celluar since its

the only ROM I could get to flash with agats recovery.

It installs CWM.Wipe everything and then flash.now you have a very

unstable ROM but you have CWM. Here's the link

http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/2484-rom-cm10-alpha53-android-41-nightlies/

4. Boot back into recovery and flash whatever epic 4G touch ORIGINAL DEV rom

you decided to go with. Dont forget gapps.

5. Go here http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p... Galaxy S2 (Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Modems/ICS/ZIP (thats a link from the ROM thread i posted above, credits to him) and

download one of these CWM flashable modems. I went with FB15. Flash the zip from recovery

6. Now, to get your apns and to get the alltel build.prop, go here http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/2644-mod-beta-e4gt-to-usccspirealltelntelos-cwm-flashable-zip/ and download the alltel converter. Flash from recovery

and you should be golden.

Since im not the best at typing these things out, but if you download everything

first, then follow the steps, it makes it easier. I had to go through trial and error for 2 days so

those are really just the steps i took. So far, my backup has saved me from some nasty stuff.

I accidentally formatted my sd card yesterday so I lost my backup but the updater utility took me

rite back. If anyone needs any help, let me know!

[Galaxy S II General] hwd23:
daddyodizzel I really needs someone with your knowledge now. My port does not want to charge the phone. What was a minor problem has become serious in the process of rooting and playing around with the phone the last couple days. It kicks in and out of charging. Bad connection. So I want to return the phone. The only problem is I have rooted it. I did a factory reset. As you know that doesnt take root accs away. I downloaded super user then root check to make sure. It is still rooted. Since there is no stock rom to flash back am I just screwed? Is there a way to get into the operating system and undo whatever it is rooting does?

I can lay my phone on the ground and as long as nothing, including the wind from a fart, touches it I keep a connection. So if I am unable to get it unrooted, and heck even if I am I'll want to do this on my new phone, could you please break this down for those of us who don't do this all the time.

Either way, flashing back to stock will save him. Even easier than the updater utility, flashing the MD5 file in the stock.tar with Odin works quicker. I don't have time to simplify that for him so if you could, I'd appreciate it.
