Correct. If using the one-click package, and using the rooted restore (wipes internal memory), your phone internal structure will get properly partitioned to be on Jellybean 4.1.2. It puts a fresh install of the phone's OS. If you were selling it, giving it away, or returning it back to sprint, it'd be out-of-the-box clean, at least from a software perspective.

Your kernel and rom will be as they came from Sprint, bloatware and all.

Good luck!

And thanks for downloading the proper files from RWilco12's site. That's where they should be grabbed.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Qaphsiel:
Hello again guys,

I just happened to run into what seems to be a BIG problem.

Last night I decided to get rid of du 4.3 because in the end it was too glitchy for me :(. So I loaded a recovery of a CM 4.1.2 ROM that I had from a long time ago and then I tried to flash 4.2.2 PAC ROM and lightningzap kernel..

Now I cannot get my phone to start up, it just says at sgs2 screen and can ONLY go into download. I fear this is the EMMC bug I heard all about.

Now this is the part I'm scared of, if this is EMMC then my next moves are vital towards not making my phone any worse, and that's why I'm asking you guys who know a lot more about this than me.

So basically since I'm able to access download I imagine flashing stock kernel *may* fix this issue, but I'm not certain, I also looked through a handful of different threads and I'm still not certain the way to precisely fix this.

I understand it was my lack on knowledge that more than likely got me in this jam, but if anybody could give me any advice on this matter I would be more grateful than you can imagine.

Thank you so much in advance.

First of all calm down and take a deep breath it's not the emmc bug now go to rwilcos repository and grab an Odin one click hook up to a computer and one click back to stock while your there update your prl and profile then go back to a ROM in the normal way
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Works great! Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Qaphsiel:
Alright thank you very much for the advice, the one click I'm getting from rwilco's is the "gb27 rooted restore". Does this sound right or do you mean it should be the unrooted one click when you say stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Stock rooted if you want to tinker, no root if you do not want root, or plan to get rid of the phone and provide it another party that would not want a rooted device. Your call.

Does anyone have any camera problems with the official CM nightlys?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
Does anyone know of any "S4 Mods"? I have this app where I can wave my hand over the screen when someone is calling to reject it. But that's all I found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
You can flash TBGS4 ROM in Development or I think there is a post in Themes & Apps that says Turn Your Phone Into An S4 that might have some apks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
How would I get the S voice feature to work? There's a separate file you have to install and I could not get it to work last time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
check to see how much system space you have with Freespace. If you dont have enough room for the separate file, it wont work. I got it to work, you just need enough room to get the second file to load. BTW, it's nice when it works, but I dont live in an area that has 4g, it works great with wifi access. It would tell me that it could not connect to the system a lot, but I think to call or text someone, it should not have to.

S-beam mod?

This may be a really really stupid question, but is there an s-beam mod that will work on this phone so i can receive video from my daughter's Note 3?:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I dont think so. SGS2 doesnt have the s-beam hardware. But you can share files over wifi with allshare or another program like it.

boot looping

I flashed liquid smooth rom on my phone way back when I got it and it has run great since then. All of the sudden yesterday it started doing this boot loop deal where if I boot normally it shows the normal boot sequence then continues to show the liquid smooth animation until I remove the battery.

If I hold up when I boot it won't enter cwm and instead starts a normal boot. Holding down gets me into odin mode but for some reason the device isn't detected by ADB even though I can clearly see that odin will detect it.

It's really important that I recover this phone with the data intact as I have a lot of recipes on the internal sd that I stupidly neglected to back up.

What do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
No, S Beam is hardware, without the UV receptor it won't work, use Bluetooth or Bump or any of the other variety of sharing methods.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
I think you can use a one-click exe in odin to directboot to EL29 or EL26 w/ CWM. I'm sure there is a youtube video on it. Look for QBKing77 on YT. I dont have the time right now to walk you through it, but check that out and let us know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] getyaz:
My device doesn't show up in the one click odin. It does show up in regular odin v3.07... Why is this? Do you know of anything else I could try?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DynamicN:
Are you using the same usb cable when trying the one click and odin v3.07? If so what kind of cable is it. Is it the stock cable? Try using difference usb ports on your pc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] getyaz:
that rolsson

I've tried using the stock cable and I've also tried a nokia cable that seems to be higher quality than the stock cable. I've tried different ports as well.

Attached is an image showing how my phone appears in the device list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Grab the el29 direct boot tar.md5, rather than the zip. Use regular Odin, put the tar.md5 in the PDA slot.

Then when you are in recovery, mount USB storage, copy anything to your PC that you want to save.

If the one click still won't work, you can grab the gb27 rooted restore tar.md5 as well and flash it the same way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Make sure you have the Samsung Drivers installed on your PC

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DynamicN:

Did you hit menu and save right after entering the new mmsc url, mmsc proxy and mmsc port? If you don't save it then it won't work. Also are you putting in the right mmsc url, proxy and port?

Yes. I am following the information someone gave me when I was trying to do this on AOSP. I think it's on page 306 of this forum.

thats what i read somewhere else, someone said that vm phones have a HA and AAA Key that are device specific. i've personally never heard of those though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Reading about what you and the other VM user are wanting to do, there have been statements by Brooksyx that the original epic 4g forum thread works for the touch but it's not exactly what you need.

Meaning, you could use the tools in those thread to get your existing information in case you bork trying to root or accidentally break something else with a one click.

One thing I noticed, the broken MMS fix looks to be CM9 only.

If I was a VM user, I'd extended a request to Brooksyx for assistance. Can't hurt to ask.

URE: SkPaint in getMeasureCacheProc index: 2

Short version:

When running aLogcat I get this repetitive error. Is there a fix for this yet? What is causing it?

Long version:

A quick google search only brought up 2 threads on xda, both for our phone. On April 26th, Rujelus22 responded on this thread by saying:

The only other mention was on the Phantom's Blazer Rom thread on August 30th. Tdunham offered a suggestion to the person with the error, but I didn't see a followup in the next 15-20 pages.

I tried to work through the issue

URE: unknown runtime error

SkPaint is the color/style attributes component for the "draw" calls in the Skia 2D Library. "paints are used not only for drawing text, but also for measuring it."

getMeasureCacheProc - As near as I can tell, it is for "text buffer direction"? Something that was expected was returned "null"?

Possibly a count of characters? bad error catching?

Here is a logcat from CatLog filtered by the PID. I tried to use OS Monitor to find what process used the PID, but it wasn't listed. (yes I did enable root and the showing of system processes).

I am surprised that I could find so little information on it. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Edit: This is no longer a problem in JB. I am adding this for anyone searching.

Hello,

Today I just purchased my Samsung Galaxy S2 from Boostmobile. I've been reading since yesterday and I know there is alot of information in such a little time. I previously had an iPhone 4s and jailbreaking it was a piece of cake comparing it to rooting an Android. I currently have SCS 4.0.4 with baseband FI22. I've seen an FI25 build so does it mean its a newer version than the one I ? is it a better version to improve wifi-3g connectivity or im completely clueless ? Also there are many kernel versions which one is the right one ? what does " do not use a kernel to flash a rom" means ? Also when I installed a ROM and I would like to install a better or different one by installing a new ROM does it automatically erases the previous one ? thanks so much for help. Hopefully I can understand better as I read more.

A few days ago I started getting the no signal sign in the corner of my phone. It was completely stock. Sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldn't. Today it will not pick up any signal. In setting the baseband is unknown. I rooted and tried flashing different modems, but they abort before finishing. At this point it has a Blazer ROM on it and AGAT recovery. The phone connects to wifi great. Also every time it is restarted it is in airplane mode. I am completely new to this but any help would be greatly appreciated. The sprint repair guy told me my phone is junk is he right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CamCroz99:
From personal experience with aborts try using a different usb cable and or using a different USB port. Did you try flashing stock unrooted with a one click?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
The sprint guy probably doesn't know what he is talking about. If you have Blazer rom and agat on our, it's not stock. You need to save everything on it and put a stock room on it and start over., imo.

I have tried the stock unrooted. It doesn't seem to matter. I have tried different cables. Any time I flash a modem with odin or a one click they freeze.

You don't want recovery when flashing an exe file. Hold power and volume down to enter Odin mode, open the exe file, then connect your phone to your pc. A yellow com port should light up. Then press start.

If that light doesn't come on, reinstall your drivers and reboot your pc then start over.
