When you go to odin download mode by holding down power + vol down it will show the counter and that counter tells virgin reps how mnay times you have flashed a custom file such as kernel, modems, etc. Yellow triangle says the same thing that you are running custom firmware. Unless you have to take the phone back to virgin for warranty, there is nothing they can do.

Both can be easily reset or avoided. If you use the odin one click files, you will neither get the triangle nor the counter will go up. Even if you increase the counter and get a yellow triangle, there is an app called yellow triangle that resets it.

There is nothing to worry about if you read and follow steps carefully. There are users on this forum whose counters read in 1000s.

recovery for FL24 (rooted)

Has there been any status update for a custom recovery for ICS FL24??

The new Agats doesn't work...it keeps making the phone reboot.

Long time listener, first time caller. I've got a question! I apologize if it has already been answered, but I haven't found anything by searching (I absolutely blow at searching for stuff). I want to know how to install a Jelly Bean ROM onto a Virgin Galaxy S2, which is basically the Epic 4G Touch. If I could just be pointed in the right direction for all I need, and tutorials, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Which jellybean rom specifically?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ixlair:
Whichever has the best compatibility with the phone. I want to go for a stock experience, but having extra stuff would be nice too. I noticed there isn't an official CM10 build for the phone, which is what I wanted to go with. I'm just open for suggestions. Whatever gives the most features, with a stock interface and the best compatibility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
I didn't have a problem with the CM 10.1 build in the Original Development section. I do prefer PAC-man for the extra goodies though. As far as compatibility, Read the OPs. They tell you what works and what doesn't.

If you want the most bug-free experience, stick with Touchwiz (not the leaks or rooted) and install APEX launcher or something else.

GB08

Hi! I used the one click restore to go from FI22 (I'm on boost) to GB08 and everything seems to be working except mms.

Any ideas? Is it because I'm on boost and GB08 is sprint? I've tried searching but am at work with no comp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Yes. You'll need to set your mmsc/apn settings correctly. If you can't find in searching, post again.

Noob with Q's

Alright, I'm not trying to be the jerk that posts a question that is in a hundred spots. I recently flashed my wifes epic 4g touch with a cyanogen mod nightly and her signal has went from almost crap to crappier. Talking with friends I heard I should be able to get an update for the radio without having to flash a whole new ROM to her phone (she hates change and it was a huge shock for her to go from ICS to JB). If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be spectacular.

Second and last question...my daughter, with the same phone, is having a problem with her phone randomly shutting down on a stock ROM (FI27 if I'm not mistaken). We took it to the sprint store they repeated the steps I took of taking the phone apart inspecting for water damage or damage to the chip itself, updating PRL, profile, and checking for updates. The only thing they found was the same thing I found, a swollen battery. Received the replacement battery tonight and long story short it still shutsdown and reboots on its own....if anyone has experienced this or has guidance that can keep me from having to buy her an iphone would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all for your help with this stuff...

John
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
1st: Try installing a new modem. I like FL24 (latest ICS) on AOSP JB builds. Don't forget to update your PRL & Profile, which is easiest to do by just flashing the entire FL24 one-click, then back to AOSP after you finish updating everything. Don't use JB modems on AOSP ROMs.

2nd: My phone does (did?) the same thing. no swollen battery though. It hasn't done it for a few days now. See if they (SPRINT) can get her a new phone. It's a hardware issue, since it's completely independent of ROM.

You may be luck though, and just have an issue with the ROM. Try installing one of the non-rooted one-clicks of a stock ROM. Make sure it's the restore version. It should go without saying, but backup anything important first.

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

I think it's just an XML file of device settings and configuration that kies uses for updates and such. our phone is based off of the GT-I9100, but it isn't a GT-I9100. Don't mess with that file unless you really need to. If you really needed to, you wouldn't be asking about that file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wartzay:
I'm slowly reading through all the threads but I do have one question.

I am currently on a stock (FL14 touchwiz JB) rom. Is it safe to install another one click JB rom? Or do I need to drop back to the EL29 kernel to do so?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
One click odin is fine. No need to go to el29 to flash an odin one click.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MarcAntonyy:
I'm running CM10.1 (WFTN) 4.2.2, with FL24.

After flashing the 4.2.2 update I started having system/system UI/gapps.process FCs. I wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, and reflashed, then wiped and fixed again, with no luck. I then flashed Exit_Only's tweaks and at some point in the past week have lost the ability to get a lock with GPS.

It seems it's time to start fresh, but it's been a while. I want to do this once and get it right.

What ROM, modem(s), etc, using which method/process, and in what order do I need to flash in order to get GPS locking again, update PRL/Profile, and all that good stuff, and the ultimately work my way back to flashing the latest Wild for the Night build?

I love WFTN and don't want to change a thing - I just want to get the kinks ironed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I would do this.

1) Full Odin to stock rooted el29.

2) Flash el26/el29 cwm recovery kernel.

3) Flash whatever modem you want.

4) Update profile and then prl.

5) Get GPS lock.

6) While GPS is locked, hold power + vol up to get into cwm.

7) Flash your ROM. Make sure you wipe data and caches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grumpwagon:
Warranty

My E4GT is showing the issue where the menu button is repeatedly phantom pressed when in a low signal area. Sprint has recently confirmed this as a known issue, so I'd like to go in and get my phone swapped. I'm on WFTN right now, and want to flash back to full stock. So I have a few questions about this process.

What's the best way to do this to avoid the yellow triangle? What is the current stock build that people on Sprint would have? I'm hoping I can do it from mobile odin, because I'm on Linux, and away from my Windows computer for a bit, but if it has to wait for odin, that's fine.

Thanks!

EDIT: Also, I currently have 2 flashes on the Custom Binary Download meter. Would I need to use TriangleAway to reset that before doing anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
This is FI27 ICS stock .tar.md5.7z file. You will need 7zip to extract file and then use mobile odin. http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...) (SPH-D710)/Stock ROMs/ICS/FI27/Original TAR

Yes use triangle away to reset counter and get rid of yellow triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grumpwagon:
That worked very well, thanks.

One last stupid question. Does doing a factory reset delete everything on the internal storage, even non-android stuff? I copied some of the flashing stuff there (from the internal sdcard), and want to make sure that's gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Go to storage and choose format usb storage. That will wipe all of 11.50GB from internal storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grumpwagon:
Right, I know that, but I meant the actual internal storage ("/"), not the usb storage ("/sdcard0"). I know that's sort of the whole point of factory resetting, I just didn't know if it actually formatted "/" or if it just deleted everything android related.

I'm pretty sure it is a format, but I'm just being paranoid. I don't want to be denied warranty for a hardware issue for previously running custom software.

Thanks again for all your help, this is a great resource!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You flashed the full stock ICS .tar file? If so the 2gb storage got wiped already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wartzay:
Anyone know if I can I flash a different modem without having to wipe or reinstall my rom? (CM 10.1). I want to try a few different modems to see what gives me the best signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grumpwagon:
Yes, you are able to. Remember that CM 10.1 (at least WFTN) is not compatible with JB modems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
I don't believe any of the non-TW ROMs can use the JB modems. I've had the best luck with FL24 though. YMMV.

google contacts

DQOTD (Dumb Question of the Day)

I did this:

(1) Had inadvertently synced contacts with facebook, gmail, yahoo mail, phone, everything. So in my contacts I had a million entries. I wanted the like 30 phone numbers of my friends and that's it. They are my google/gail contacts.

(2) All I *wanted* was my google/gmail contacts.

(3) I had a bright idea: Delete every contact I see then just sync with google!

(4) I know see how this was a dumb idea because that then deleted my contacts from google, syncing the deletions. Not cool.

(5) Next idea! Take a nandroid, since I like everything except that I just deleted my contacts, restore a recent nandroid from a few days ago, see my contacts, sync them with google, restore my current nandroid, receive my google/gmail contacts back... all better.

(6) Nandroid from a few days ago, though, showed zero contacts...

Any advice?

Sigh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Unless something that you sync'd to had priority and didn't delete at the server level, they're gone.

Login to each thing you sync'd to from desktop and check.

By chance did you ever sync a backup to the samsung cloud or kies? (Samsung backup prompts on the newer builds)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Thanks. Makes sense, but those 30 legit contacts were only in my google/gmail, hadn't synced elsewhere. I still thought that I was on to something with looking at previous nandroid backups, so I tried one more time to restore the recent nandroid with a twist: Since I had a newer modem I new the data would not connect, and I clicked *off* my home wifi before restore, so it couldn't sync anything. Restored recent nandroid and poof! There are my 30 contacts - sync nowhere!! (lol) - export as a file to SD card. Problem solved. Lesson learned. Cheers! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevonL:
Alright so I just rooted my girlfriends phone and opted to put PACman JellyBean 4.2.2 on it. Is there anyway to update the radio on this phone or does it happen to just have a somewhat weak signal overall? She's coming from an HTC Evo 4G and in areas where she had signal perfectly fine, the SGS2 is struggling to maintain a signal. Thanks!

If it helps, the phone was originally running FL24 and I rooted it by doing flashing the rooted ODIN and then agat recovery and then flashing the 4.2.2 ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Well you can always login to gmail.com and then under contacts there is an option to restore contacts under "more". Google saves them for some time. You can go back upto 30 days in the past.

Yes, install the EL29 modem. Modem zips are in the development forums in the stickied modem thread. Almost everytime after flashing a new modem you need to update profile and prl. So you have a choice to flash a full stock el29 odin one click rom. You will lose pacman. Update profile, prl, and get a gps lock and flash pacman back. You can make a nandroid backup and restore it after flashing the el29 stock rom as well. But imo el29 temp boot is quicker. The video is in post 3. Watch it and it will make sense what temp boot exactly does.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You mean device settings? If yes, then using nova or apex launcher's "activities" widget add it to one of the home screens.

If you mean "developer settings" for overclocking, go to about phone and tap 8 times on build version(the last thing in about phone).

You cant use a pc? Pc because mobile odin wont flash modem. But what you can do is flash FL24 modem in cwm first, then using mobile odin flash the FI27 full stock unrooted tar, once on fi27, accept the ota update to FL24.

I'm finally starting to see how this phone works - very different like I've said than what I'm used to. Thanks a lot for the help. I ended up doing a one click perm Odin to EL29, then installing CWM onto it, nandroid back to my original rooted FL24 because it wouldn't let me restore or flash Pacman again, going from Agat to a fresh install of Pacman and then a restore of Pacman from there.

Hopefully she notices improved signal now as apparently at her work where she used to have decent signal the phone jumps into roaming. We'll see what happens today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
I found it easier to use the one-click EL26 kernel (only) with CWM. Then I got to keep my FL24 modem and use a known safe recovery. Not saying Agat's isn't safe, but I already had the EL26 one click. I also have the EL26 zip on my SD card, so I can just do a complete clean flash without ever using a computer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DevonL:
Have you had good luck with that? Since I did the update yesterday her phone keeps losing internet (3G as well as WiFi) connectivity.

When updating a ROM should I wipe cache and dalvik first? Is it necessary? Thanks :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
When updating a rom it's usually best to do a full wipe but you usually can get by with just wiping cache and dalvik.. But if you ever have any issues a full wipe is needed before reporting bugs

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Grumpwagon:
To expand on this, definitely full wipe if you're moving between different ROMs. If you're just going between versions of the same ROM, you can usually get away with just dalvik/cache (unless the dev says otherwise, or you start to have problems).

Totally Noob

I had my Epic Touch for more than one year and I decided to enter to the root world. Looking in the web I found QbKing77 site and I follow his videos. By the way I'm running my epic totally stock with build # ending in FL24. I follow his first video on rooting with a file called SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata. Everything went okay. Then I decided to follow the second video on how to install Clockworkmod. I use the file called SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.3.0.tar and the mobile odin. After rebooting my cell went nuts it keeps rebooting all time. I decided to pull the battery enter in recovery mode and make a backup to my SD. I try to contact QbKing but as today he never answer me. So I went to the most powerful tool we can have, GOOGLE. So once again I enters to recovery mode and do a factory reset, I think that was my big mistake. Then my cel still rebooting over and over. So I went to Rwilco12's site and follow a tutorial and went back to stock, unrooted the phone. Everything okay again but of course I lost everything. I went root again but this time no clockworkmod. Do I need the custom recovery? Can I use the backup I had in the SD and restore? If restore, the phone will went crazy again since the backup was made when it had rebooting problem?

Can somebody recommend me a good ROM? I saw I video of one called Blue Kuban or something like that but I saw that it was for FL27.

Now that I'm root how can I take advantage of my phone being a root user?

I hope to be posting in the correct place.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
Well first of all, to flash roms you need a "safe recovery"

Second, the Rom thing is up to you if you want to upgrade to JB or stay on ICS via rom;) (or GB...)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
What you can do is restore nandroid and then flash FL24 kernel with no recovery. So you will be rooted with no cwm. It sounds like rebooting issue started after you flashed the sxtp kernel. Also you need to wipe caches before flashing a kernel.
