I want to go back to touch wiz for a while but I need WiFi tethering. How would I get the hotspot hack like in the Touched by S4 ROM? I don't want to use a Google play store app if I don't have to.

Sorry to take up a post but I am happy that this thread is still put to good use. Thank you all!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Search for Hotspot hack, I believe it's in general, could be wrong though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
I'll look there. Also, where would the boot sounds be found at? I flashed a boot screen but the carrier sound is still there.

Thanks. One last question, where are the 3G/4G icons located at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Im not sure what file they are in… but if you are looking for themeing options… and you are on touchwiz. Take a look in the theme thread and check out Missing Link. Its the holy grail of theming… its an aroma installer..so you pick what you want when you flash it…

Frustration nation

I've been at this for two hours now:

I'm trying to go from Wild for the Night (10.1) to VILLUMINATI (11.0).

Here's what I'm doing: Standard wipes. Flashing 10.2 to get the right CWM. Boot and then rebooting into recovery. Standard wipes. Flash 11.0. Flash gapps.

Here's what's going wrong: Status 7 installation error when flashing gapps. I've tried the mini modular packages and the micro modular packages from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942. All of them give me status 7.

If I skip gapps and try to reboot directly from flashing 11.0, it won't boot. It gets stuck at the splash screen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a Virgin Mobile D710 with a FJ12 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rruleford:
U need to flash the right cwm on it's own. Flashing a ROM doesn't change your recovery. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strangelady:
I read in the VILLUMINATI thread that you can get the correct CWM by flashing either a 4.3 ROM (or a kernel) that has the correct version of CWM. Users in the thread said to simply flash Hood Pope (because Dastin includes the recovery in the ROM), and they seemed to find that that worked fine.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

My solution was apparently to change the modem.

That's how I flashed safe kernel to hoodpope to cm11
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strangelady:
No, I didn't, and probably should have.

My apologies for wasting your time: I can't get mms to work with either Textra or 8sms, and there's no voicemail app and I can't use Google Voice for my voicemails because Virgin Mobile doesn't allow call forwarding. So I need to go back to 10.1.

This is incorrect for this phone. Roms include a kernel, and kernels include recovery for the d710.

With every ROM I've flashed so far, I have no mobile network connection. I have factory reset all the ROM I've flashed(cm 10.2, cm11 villuminati, mokee 4.4.2, etc) and still have not been able to obtain mobile networking. When I reflash stock gb27, or any other stock for that matter, the mobile connection is fine. On forums for all the roms, users say that mobile network is working (3g, 4g, etc). But when I flash it doesn't work. Also when I find the "mobile plan" option in the settings of the ROM, it tells me to insert a sim card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I don't run those versions but I think you must be using the wrong modem.

Jellybean requires a JB modem and CM (& Kitkat?) require ICS modems or you're not going to get data properly.

root just gives u root access to system files so you can modify system files install ROMs etc... your device will remain the same except you will have root access. do your self a favor an do some reading then do some more one wrong move and your device will be a paper weight this device can b a bit tricky until you become familiar with it .

want to get weird epic 4g touch up to Kit Kat

At some point I followed some guide somewhere to sideload a firmware that wasn't coming OTA. From that point on my phone has been stuck at 4.0.3 while other people I know with the same phone have been getting updates. So, to take matters into my own hands, I rooted the device but now I'm not exactly clear on how to get it from Ginger Bread up to JB or Kit Kat. It's rooted.

*and it has a custom recovery on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dotzip.:
4.0 - 4.04 is jellybean

you would find a ROM for the device you have and follow the directions in the ROMs OP to install it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Not that it really matters but JB is rev 4.1.2.

And if you EVER plan on running Jellybean, you MUST MUST MUST run the one click odin that Stryke posted a couple of posts ago. Also, back up your internal SD as it should wipe it out.

The reason for using the one-click odin is because it will repartition and format the phone so JB will fit into the new partition sizes. If you don't do this, you will have problems. And it only needs to be done once.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dotzip.:
damm your right 4.0-4.3 is ics my bad i just woke up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] goathouse774:
That's encouraging, but I feel like I started down that path only to hit a wall. I started with this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2139759 to get rooted and tried the Jelly Bean recovery initially, but the phone wouldn't boot (black screen forever) so I flashed the Ice Cream Sandwich version and that worked (presumably because it matched my present OS version???)

Then I saw this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2637510 and got excited to try it, until I saw the warning that I had to have a minimum of the current stock firmware for it to work. I don't have that; stuck in ICS currently.

Do I need to upgrade to Jelly Bean firmware before I can flash that sexy Kit Kat rom? Can I use something like the Clockwork Rom Manager to handle this stuff for me? What should I do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yes, you must be on jellybean firmware. Also, never, never, never use ROM manager on this device. I would flash the one click I posted above, then follow the instructions in the ROM of your choice for the installation.

LTE its separate hardware, this device will never be able to get it. Also, MK2 is not for this device. Flashing anything not meant for your specific device is the fastest way to brick it.

EMERGENCY~ODIN Failed BADLY

Hi all, I'm usually pretty good at fixing this type of stuff but yeah lol not this time. I had rooted it with Framaroot App and then integrated SuperSU into system so I was permarooted. Then I installed ODIN Pro and downloaded a recovery+kernel .tar file and flashed it to get recovery, and stupidly I didn't wait long enough but when it flashed and turned off it didn't turn on for 5 seconds and I instinctively pulled out the battery(STUPID) then turned it back on and it showed Samsung Galaxy SII Splash Screen for 2 seconds and buh-bye.. So the recovery did install and I can also access download mode. So I also saw in recovery mode that there was no ROM and I don't have a ROM on my SD-Card. I put one on and it won't get into the external_sd folder. (Says its empty but it doesn't on my PC, all the other folders work in recovery too just not the ONE I need lol!)

You might want to verify the md5 checksum of your download matches the one posted for it on their download site:

I'm not sure what else it could be. Try an older version posted there perhaps. The status 7 error itself points to a syntax error in the installer script but I'm not sure if that is your particular issue.

I don't know if anyone is familiar with the cm11 villuminati ROM by dastin1015, but I'm posting in hopes someone can help me. The latest build of this villuminati ROM is the march 23rd build. In this build there is working data. However my problem is that the ROM displays that I have working mobile data, but i don't get any mobile connection. I've done system wipe, and have even gone back to stock gb27, and worked my way back, yet I still don't get mobile data. It seems that when the ROM runs for the first time, data works fine. But if the phone restarts, it says data's working but its not. I made sure I was running an ICS modem, because this is a 4.4.2 kitkat ROM. Sure enough, I am running fl24 modem. I am also running paranoid android gapps if its relevant. If anyone can help me in this area, I'd be very grateful. I couldn't post on this ROMs forum because I just recently registered to xda.

Accessing settings menu crashing phone

So I just flashed Project X v4.0 on my E4GT and now any time I try to access the setting menu it freezes then crashes.

I think I was pretty meticulous at following all the instructions very carefully after having had to do a recovery with Odin following a soft-brick situation (I blame my own carelessness messing around with my phone after working a 12 hour night shift).

It doesn't matter how I try to access the settings, and even trying to long hold the WIFI or GPS toggles from the pull-down freezes the system (screen will go dark when I hit the power button but waking it up doesn't even bring the lock screen, it just displays the frozen screen again) and it eventually crashes and restarts the phone.

Anybody have some guidance? Should I just try to flash it again? I'm trying to be a little more cautious after the near-brick-experience. :o
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, try flashing right over itself first.

Tried that a few times with no success. No clue what could be wrong, I verified the download with MD5 checker... anyways I decided to give up on 4.0 for now and try out 3.9 which flashed like a champ and seems to be working so far with no stability issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
On 4.0, you should go with a clean install. JB Format X2, wipe cache/dalvik, flash ROM and NOTHING else. Reboot and let sit for about 10-15 minutes. 4.0 is a really nice mix of ROM control and TW. Make a nand of 3.9 before you try it.

Kitkat help!

Okay, so I am fairly new to flashing...(the last phone I flashed to a custom ROM was a Droid before my Epic 4G Touch)...I have a VM Epic 4G Touch, and rooted and flashed it to Villuminatti and everything went fine...followed the directions to the "t", and it was AWESOME...however, the MMS and Voicemail didn't work properly (couldn't download any MMS, and voicemail notifications were through a text message). So, I flashed it back (on accident to the Sprint JB version and then finally to the VM Version), and now am back on GB28... Is there a version of Kitkat that does not have the MMS and voicemail issue, or is there a way to fix it? If so, could you please provide the downloads required to re-root and flash the correct version of 4.4.2 so that my mms and voicemail work?

If there isn't a more stable version of 4.4, does 4.3 have any bugs/issues? If not, I would like to flash to 4.3...sorry if my technical jargon is a bit off, I am not up with the times anymore..lol:D

Original Dev vs Official CM

Two questions:

1) Are original dev ROMs that get stable enough converted into official CM nighlies? Example here being dastin1015's official CM 10.2 ROM, did it originate from a original dev ROM of dastin's? I can't find any paper trail linking it to Hood Pope, although that is my suspicion.

2) ROMs that are updated recently (like CM11 ROMs Villuminati and MoKee) are pulling directly from the CM source. Could the recently updated versions (like the Villuminati 4/27 build) be categorized as very similar to official CM11 M5? would the next release be consistent with the changelog in M6?

Boot loop while on battery

My niece called me today and said her phone keeps rebooting while on battery only. It woks fine while plugged in. She already tried a new battery with same results. The phone does not have a custom rom, just a stock rom. I can't remember if it was rooted or not. Before calling me, she did a phone reset from settings. Any idea what would cause a boot loop only on battery? Thanks!

Fixed: It was the sd card causing the problem. She put in a new one and all is good.
