No, after Odin is done ( it didn't fail ), and when the phone rebooted performing the factory reset part (android with spinny core thing) it just fails, fails to read or mount or it says '(no such file or directory)' like the system,cache, recovery_log,etc... though what i think is that the OS isn't there in the first place, does the one click restore the system and the other important partitions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yes it wipes all partitions which are to be flashed with odin. You said you tried flashing just EL26 CWM with odin and then boot to recovery but you still had stock recovery?

That sounds like the flash didn't process correctly and it's trying to pull data from partitions that aren't there. When flashing the full ROM what build are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sickysticky:
I used sph-d710-gb28-stock-rooted-restore.exe I got it from another forum. I'll post the url when I find it. But while googling I read somewhere u can delete the stock tethering apk and replace it but that was a fail. ..

Been Running JV for Several Days, Still Loving It

Hi, jdsingle76:

Thought I would update you. After a few days on JV, I turned off the battery bar animation after adding comadose, added the latest (non-beta) AIO, transparent pulldown, and let me tell you how awesome this ROM is to run. Rock solid, battery lasts for hours while I am at my desk and the phone is asleep (for 2 hours, it will stay at 92%, for example). Loving the look, battery life, and the plain fun of tapping at the lockscreen with the sound up and watching the ink and hearing the bubbles/rippling sounds. Oh, and the phone is doing everything that I want.

I think that one needs a few days to get used to the ROM's features and to give it a chance to work its magic (i.e., settle in, reap the benefits of awesome battery life) to consider if it is the right one. For me, I'm hooked.

So consider this an follow-up thanks. I figured that it would be kind of rude to ask for help, get up and running, announce success and disappear.

Have a great evening!

Mike in Tampa
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:

Help: Can't find instruction for putting GB27 on rooted Epic Touch

I'm a noob. I rooted my phone a few months ago. Running CM10.1 now. But I'd like to go to GB27.

What's the best way to do this? Should I unroot and do it via KIES (I'd want to re-root for other advantages)? Or, should I update?

Prefer the update if possible. If someone here would point me to some relatively idiot proof "How to", I'd really appreciate it. I know it's here somewhere. Thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bbakes2012:
I would recommend not updating with the OTA update from Samsung as my fiance found it glitch. I recommend team sxtapes GB27. It runs a lot smoother and is the same thing as Samsung's.

Easiest way is to do an Odin One Click. Use a PC. Follow the instructions on this and even view QB's youtube video on this. There is both a stock root and stock unroot.

[MENTION=5111740]gamepro602[/MENTION] So just to confirm, you still are not getting a full reboot immediately after flashing EK02? At this point you've rebuilt your full bootloader, all of your system and data partitions. In theory if you let it sit long enough it should boot up.

If you aren't booting up directly after flashing the OC then there is something else going on beyond what we can fix here. I would recommend looking at warranty options.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Gb28 is meant for your variant.

Gb27 is meant for Sprint.

Yes, you can use it if you'd like but you'll then have the Sprint bloat (vs Virgin's) and branding. Also, you may have to then set virgin's apn/mmsc settings so everything would function properly. (Mms)

If you're just wanting latest/stock then you're already set.

It's all a matter of where you're trying to end up.

Hopefully that made sense. If not just say so. :beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You will be fine using restore, it will just erase all your data. No need to install su, it's built in. that is what is needed for root :). No cwm, it will come with stock kernel, but you can flash a custom recovery with odin or mobile odin after, and agat has a recovery that allows for overclocking. That should about do it. Good luck, and let us know if you get stuck. That is what we're here for!

Awesome - will be giving this a shot tomorrow - cant really foresee any problems - seems pretty straightforward - but......lol......after rooting i wont have a custom recovery to flash with correct ? You said agats has a recovery with o/c ability ?

Not Seeing Back Button Killed Process Message...

Hi, jdsingle76:

I hope your Sunday is going well.

This may seem like a stupid question, but I recently upgraded to the new 3.5 AIO Mod (JV version), added glass transparency effect, and now I am not seeing that message that showed after exiting an app with the back button. Just did a backup from Agat's recovery, as a precautionary measure. Wondering if I lost something in the above process, or if that message is something I turned off in the settings menu without knowing it.

Thoughts?

Edit: Just reinstalled comadose v1.5, wiped cache partition and dalvik following the install, said "yes" to correct this problem with the stock recovery question, and second time seems to have been the charm.

Thanks again for everything.

Best,

Quick question, I am on el29 rotted with cm10 beta2. I was trying to flash the PACman v22.1.1 rom but I realized that my phone no longer reads my external micro SD. It doesn't recognize it so I can't transfer the zip files to it. Is there another way to flash this rom onto my phone or am I pretty much stuck on cm10?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Hi, bossmanamr,

Based on the version of Pacman you want to flash, it looks like your path is pretty straight:

Boot into a safe recovery.

Preferably EL26.

Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik.

Flash

Reboot

From what I have read, you should be able to flash EL26 from mobile Odin. From there, as long as you can get files onto your internal SD card, you should be good to go. I'd there anything preventing you from pulling the external SD card out prior to flashing? I am unaware of any of the CM based roms (I am speaking broadly) that require a functioning external SD to flash.

You could use your computer to transfer what personal data that is in the external card onto a new one, then just remount the new one after flashing.

Let me know if this is of some use. And more importantly, keep us up on your progress.

Good luck!

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Boss...not sure why it's not reading your external. No worries, just save it to your phone's internal drive. Should be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
This happens sometimes, try unmounting your external sd card in settings, storage and then remounting it. 99.9% of the time this corrects the issue:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bossmanamr:
el26/el29 will both work so that's not the issue. Its just if I do a factory reset wont it delete all everything in the internal SD? And yea I can pop out he micro sd and put it back in but that doesn't seem to help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If you do a data wipe in cwm it wont wipe your internal. Only thing that will wipe your internal is formatting it in the settings menu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Try Stryke's Suggestion for Ext SD, or Get a New One...

Hi, bossmanamr:

As others have mentioned, your internal storage will remain filled with whatever files were on there before and after the reset. On restart, you will have a phone that needs setting up and/or restoring if using Titanium Backup or similar set of tools (GMail address, etc.). I would still recommend backing up everything on both your internal and external (if your computer can read it), storage prior to moving to Pacman. I also do take recommendations (EL26 in this case) as the way, since I am new at this. Regardless, let us know how you are coming along. I love hearing great news! Best, Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Are you sure its not reading your external SD? It may have been mounted differently. Go to root directory of your phone and then check under "storage". Use ES File Explorer from play store to navigate the file system.

I'm really stumped on a problem with Google Goggles (see attached screenshot) and the Slim Bean Rom. As you can see, the image is very distorted (it was supposed to be a red night lamp). I'm taking the picture from the Goggles app itself, not from the camera app.
