Question about spr s2 being rooted then flashed to cricket.

Plan on using qbking77 one click kernel and philz recovery but as far as flashing to cricket what firmware do I need or can I flash the i9100 with a cricket (or generic us) modem and kernel?

Thanks for the response, though I still don't see the setting in dirty unicorns...

Unfortunately I have a real problem now. My phone refuses to roam which is an issue because I will be in a roaming only area for the next few days. System select under mobile network settings doesn't seem to do anything. I can select anything I want but every time I navigate away my phone reverts to home only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Toggle roaming off and on a few times, should fix it.

I tried that in system settings to no avail but then I remembered I used to have roam control. It worked like a charm. Idk what roam control does that system select doesn't but it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
Don't flash anything unless it's for this device, the d710. Flashing i9100 (or other gs2 variant) kernels and whatnot is a good way to permanently brick this phone.

Not doable. Cricket uses CDMA, i9100 is gsm. Tell your friend to try straight talk, simple mobile, etc.

In that case, head over to cricketusers, they have instructions there for how to flash the device to the cricket network.

As far as firmware is concerned, you are able to use any Sprint rom from this forum. Modems and Kernels are rom specific, so read the OP of the rom you are flashing to find out what you need.

Note that MMS will probably be broken out of the box, and data may have issues as well. Cricketusers will have better info than I do as far as fixing APNs, etc.

Hey guys

So earlier today I decided to root my epic 4g touch with odin one click and my wonderful wife grabs the phone while i'm away from it and knocks the plug out.... to make matters worse she pops the battery. I turned it back on and i'm getting the connect to kies and boot in recovery error and when I go into download it states that my battery is to low and it seems that my battery wont take a charge now, any thoughts guys?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Obtain external charger if its not charging with USB cable. Charge battery first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demig0d01:
Yeah I actually have one it's been charging for some time. When I plug it in I get the Connect to Kies message for about a second then it goes black. I then get a dim blinking blue light. I tried the volume buttons and removal of battery, tried reinstalling drivers and I just ordered a jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sgs22012:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sgs22012:
Can you get to ROM manager or adb install it and which recovery do you have?

Should be able to (if recovery / ROM manager available)

Use ROM manager to reboot into recovery and via certain recoveries (philz adv works fine) reboot into DL mode from recovery and Odin flash.

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Do NOT use ROM manager under any circumstances with this phone. You're asking for a hard brick. Try booting into DL mode(volume down+ power button, has to be simultaneously). If that works, flash a one click to get you back on track.

As far as a stable ROM, there are several stock and custom in Android Development, esp some REALLY good TW builds. All about personal preference. Go through the threads, and if you hone in on one in particular, then give it a shot. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed in any of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demig0d01:
Everything is stock and it won't let me in DL are all when it's unplugged it acts as if there is no power at all and when I plug it in it goes to the connect to kies screen for a second then powers off with a dim blinking blue light.

If you have a soldering iron and a micro USB cable you can make one super easy. Just take out the wire and short the (I think) middle two pins. There is a video somewhere, I'll edit with a link.

E4GT's Storage Not Cleared By Hard Reset ?

@ "jdsingle76 / Adreaver"

Thanks for the replies & excuse my taking so long to respond.

Well that's the thing, I did not initiate installation of the "Google Backup".

Upon reboot I immediately saw notification that a Google Update was available. Then without me doing anything it immediately self-started its download & installation. Which caused me to think it was part of the reset procedure. In fact I couldn't & didn't get access to the UI(desktop) until it completed & by then it was installed.

So anyway a "Hard-Reset" doesn't actually wipe the "E4GT's" storage,huh. So that means with or without the "Google Backup" I'd still be left with my brothers pix & music. Well if that's the case then that's where I got it twisted. Because I thought a Hard-Reset would wipe "All Data"(including storage). Ok then, I'm off to to do another Hard-Reset & follow the steps you both offered.

Thanks again & I'll post back to let you know if it goes as expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
I recommend using Odin to flash the GB27 one click rooted restore. This should wipe everything, as it repartitions the device. To be safe, back up anything on the phone that you want to an external location (such as a PC or DropBox), and remove your external sd.

If it STILL restores data, factory reset in stock recovery would be a last resort. Note that this caused instant hard brick on ICS firmware, not sure if anyone has tried on JB.

[MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] any idea whether or not Factory Reset in stock recovery was fixed for JB builds?

Can someone tell me for the sph d710 if there is another cwm base recovery for 4.1.2 (US Sprint s2 Epic 4g) or can I put the GSM i9100 Recovery on as long as I use cdma roms
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Don't use anything I9100 inn this device. Your asking for a brick. If el26(chris41g's) or direct boot el29 for flashing and if you want cwm as a dd, I recommend Agat or Garwynn's latest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Xproject187:
Thanx for the reply & although I don't doubt "your" ability to achieve resolution on this issue, I'm not quite ready to start flashing just yet(Unless there's no other option) besides I don't have a USB/E4GT data/pwr cable yet & I've got a lot of reading & preparing to do before I'm comfortable with taking that step. At this point I'm aiming for a Hard-Reset, Format of the Hard-Drive(storage) & a Nandroid. Then I'm off to rooting & research, so I can develop a game plan as to which Firmware, Rom, Kernel, Mods or Tweaks I might wanna try out, but thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
There is some confusion about what you are trying to do. If I understand correctly, you want to absolutely obliterate anything that has ever been on the device, restore it to brand new factory state with no cell service, then root/install a custom rom/etc.

To do a full factory reset (##72786#), you will need your MSL. You can either get it from Sprint (well you can't, but your brother should be able to), or you can root the device and look it up in terminal by typing the following:

su
getprop ril.MSL

To make a nandroid, you will need a custom recovery installed. Recovery on this phone is included as part of the kernel, so you

must

flash a recovery kernel first.

This is really late (sorry about that) but dim blinking blue light means your battery crapped out on you. I have had a couple do this to me.

I was thinking about that but it's a pretty new battery and it died right after plug was pulled, when I would go into DL mode it would say battery is low and it seems like it won't charge. Now it's to the point where it won't even turn on.... I have to find my spare battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
It sounds as though there is no kernel on your device anymore, if this is the case it won't/can't charge as the kernel is what tells your device how to accept the charge. Try the spare and see if you can reconnect to Odin:beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Nope.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Two methods. One is actually safer than charging it in the phone, the other could burn your house down.

1) get an external battery charger. They run $10-20 at electronics shops.

2) strip a USB cable, find the leads that deliver power, attach the positive lead to the positive terminal in the battery and the negative lead to the negative battery terminal. Do not leave this attached for more than 20-30 minutes tops. HUGE fire hazard. Perform at own risk, don't blame me, etc.

Sorry you're having a hard time with the ol' phone. There are portable, generic made-in-China wall chargers. Buy from a U.S. seller or wait 3 weeks for it to arrive tho. I'm sure Sprint sells one that will cost as much as buying a new used E4GT. Any chance you have a friend who has the same phone?

System App to Data App...

This modded app stuffs the app in system, and I'd like to have it in data apps.

It would be immensely appreciated if someone could look at the zip contents and let me know how to alter it accordingly. My fallback would be to install it then move the apk it spawns to data apps, but I'm thinking it won't be that simple.

Love the look of the app, but it uses a too much of the limited system app room for my comfort level.

Flashing aokp

I'm getting ready to flash my first rom, Dirty Unicorns. I"m on stock rooted (framaroot) 4.1.2 (GB28). I have Garwynn's+agats recovery. I've downloaded Dirty Unicorns, the recommended gapps, and fj12 (VM ics modem). I know that I'll need to update the prl and profile once I flash the modem and that I can't do that from DU. Do I flash the rom, gapps, and modem then boot and then boot back into recovery and flash el29 to update the prl and profile? I've read somewhere that I can flash a ics modem while on JB. That just doesn't seem right though. It would make it easier though. Flash modem, update, and then flash rom and gapps. any light shed on this would be appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I Still Say...

I still suggest flashing a stock rooted ICS ROM one click, do all of your updating, direct to boot, wipe everything twice as QBKING77 indicates, flash ROM, flash gapps, reboot. Your modem and kernel will be what's needed. Your recovery kernel of choice will enable you to flash any ICS modem you wish after you are up and running.

Stay away from JB modems during any part of the process.

It's fundamental, not an afterthought, when the OP in all of the original dev threads say no JB modems...

I'll hedge if another more knowledgeable than I says otherwise.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the quick reply. It all looks pretty straight forward. I've been reading the forums for a couple of months now.it took while before it started to make sense. Just one question. Is there a reason for flashing the ics rom instead of just the modem and updating with el29?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I Suppose You Needn't...

I suppose that you needn't.

Here's instructions posted by Big Boy Laroux in response to Bbakes2012 coming from GB27 in the WFTN FAQ thread (a similar situation as yours)...

Mobile Odin EL29 kernel

- Use EL29 CWM Recovery to Wipe, Flash ROM, Flash Gapps

- Reboot

- Once ROM is loaded, Reboot into recovery

- Use included CWM recovery to flash modem .zip file

- Reboot

I installed the complete ICS one-click with root because I wanted to follow the video as provided, as it was my first time installing anything other than the one-clicks. One minor benefit of flashing an ICS one-click is that your ICS modem is already on there, so after you have flashed gapps, you are up and running.

Good luck!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Yes, Actually...

I suppose. When I tested JD's 4.2.2 Rom, I had an ics modem after I went back to his Boost JB rom (modem doesn't come with the package). Ran it like that for a half day before I saw my baseband didn't match my kernel and build. So yeah, it worked fine, but didn't wish to tempt fate, and put the right modem back in.

But the order of things could play a factor, since modem was last. Otherwise, they were wed for a while before I separated the inbred bastards. For all I know, the relationship may have lasted just fine.
