No need to wipe anything as you don't have anything to wipe. Wiping is for moving from ROM to ROM and when you have probs on a ROM. You are stock. Nothing to clean. Once you have AGATS or Garwynn then you can flash a ROM. It needs to be a Jelly bean ROM otherwise you will be back to square one.

OK we are moving too fast. Where are you at this point? Is the phone working? Are you stick on a certain page?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
Rooted! So installing the rooted GB27 over the newly flashed Stock GB27 did the trick.Going to d/l root checker now and make sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Just the rooted one click is all that's needed here. Put your phone in download mode, open and run the one click exe file (try as administrator if you want) plug your phone into the pc after the one click has been opened. A yellow com port should show up, then click run. This will get you on gb27 and rooted.

I'm having trouble finding a custom recovery from AGATS or Garwynns for the GB27 rooted stock ROM (if I'm saying that right). Maybe I'm wording my search incorrectly or something? I don't get any results in the Epic 4G Touch Themes and Apps section.

Wouldn't a custom recovery be in Epic 4G Touch Android Development?

Either way I'm having trouble finding something for my now rooted stock GB27.

Typically repacked kernels will be in development and source built will be in original development. That being said, you should familiarize yourself with RWilco's repo threads at the top of development sections. Everything for this device is there, kernels, modems, one clicks, stock tar files... He's even released an app;)

Cool. You should also post this in the accessories forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hanseric:
That worked. Just completed the back-up. :many beers: to you, Stryke_the_Orc, and JDSingle76!

Almost to my goal--here's my plan for final, major steps. Wouldn't mind another set of eyes making sure I'm not doing something stupid or leaving something out:

Format all with JB Format All X2

Flash Wild for the night ROM

Flash ICS modem (probably start with FI24)

Follow any other steps per install instructions, like install GAPPS for example

Sound like I'm on track? Anything I'm missing/forgetting or words of wisdom before I do first AOSP ROM flash?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Sounds like you're in the right track. You have cwm then? If not, flash el26, reboot to recovery, follow the steps you have above, you should be good. But first, do a backup in el26 cwm, just in case! Good luck, glad you're getting there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigBigDongs:
Hi all - I'm currently on Calkulins GB rom, with EL29 kernel with CWM and I think a GB modem. How would i go about flashing to the JB liquidsmooth ROM? Is it as simple as just flashing it to the new ROM using CWM or do I need to install a new modem and kernel or can I keep the GB modem and existing kernel? I haven't done any flashing since GB so not sure if there's any new steps involved with these new JB roms.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Calk's rom I think came with cwm. If it didn't flash el29 or el26 cwm kernel and then flash liquidsmooth. Your current modem will work fine with that aosp based rom. Liquidsmooth will come with its own kernel.

the only time you would need to flash touchwiz jellybean stock rom using Odin is if you want to try out touchwiz custom jellybean roms. Just for reference.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigBigDongs:
So I tried to flash the liquidsmooth rom in CWM, but I got an install error. Something about assert failed: get prop....

Any ideas what that means?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Did you do a full data wipe? And if so, you may have a bad download. Try downloading using your computer, match your md5s, and flash again according to OP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigBigDongs:
yeah I did a full wipe, matched the MD5. I'm getting the error:

assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device")=="epic4gtouch", etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You should not wipe system partition. With that wiped, recovery doesn't know that your phone is sph-d710 as the build.prop file is deleted. So as a precaution recovery stops rom flash.

If you are using a wipe zip, don't. Manually wipe cache, dalvik and data as the OP of the rom says.

And you are using EL26 or EL29 CWM kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BigBigDongs:
I am using el29 CWM kernel right now. My wipe options in CWM are, wipe data (factory reset), wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, wipe battery stats. I didn't use a wipe zip, so is it still possible i wiped the system partition by using the options i listed?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
No, that wouldn't wipe your partitions. If it were me, and I was sure it was a good download, I would go to dl mode, flash stock rooted jb using pc Odin, then el26, reboot to recovery, and try again. That was you KNOW the build.prop is there and hasn't been deleted. Last time I saw that error for me was when I built a bad port, but LS works fine, so if not a bad dl(I'd dl again from pc, you never know!), then I'd go back a few steps, get back to a solid build, and try again.

Rooting VM Epic 4g Touch on FL26?

From what I've seen, it's pretty close to impossible, I've researched dozens of forums, checked all around (I've rooted a couple other phones before, and one of them took me forever because I couldn't find the right materials) but this is my first Samsung Root, and frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Team BlackOut Jellybean EMail 4.2.2 - Not Gmail - on GB27

All-

I have been having a lot of fun with blacked out, cleared out and holo blue apps; so far I have installed the Play store, Dropbox, Google setting, YouTube, ES File Explorer, among others. Most from Team BlackOut, with the exception of the YouTube app (Kryten2k35).

This time I would like to take a stab at the the Jelly Bean Email app (I don't use GMail). Aside from doing a backup and giving it a go, wondering if this would be a non-starter. This one is a zip file, and wanting to be extra cautious, since the version looks like it is designed for Android 4.2.2, may not play nice with our phone and version of Android.

Thanks in advance for anyone's guidance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You have a link to the app? And you know me, I'd do a back up and give it a go...and if it's just an apk, I wouldn't even do that. I'd just push it to system apps and reboot. If it's incompatible, it'll give a parsing error, or freeze after the push. If it just doesn't work, it'll force close when you try to run it after reboot. But as a disclaimer, I only take chances like that because I do backups alot anyway. But I wouldn't say it was a "nonstarter.". Give it a whirl!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
We Think Alike...

Hi, JD:

Yes, I do tons of regular backups and redundancy storage (apps, data, NAND), since the phone is how people actually reach me.

Here's the link: http://www.designrifts.com/teamblackedoutapp/category/transparent-apps/google-apps-trans/

Scroll down to Email Jelly Bean 4.2.2. It is already in zip format, and the instructions are similar to their other system apps (flash in recovery).

Email for me is a critical component, so having an extra set of eyes would be nice, but I will likely install.

Thanks for the quick response!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
The zip is not deleting existing e-mail. Also exchange is missing. So for any chance that AOSP e-mail app works, the touchwiz e-mail and exchange will need to be deleted first. That zip is for aosp roms.

That was very nice of you. Thanks for trying it on GC01. WOW, that is way above-and-beyond.

Will report back this evening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Yeah, not so much on the push to system apps either...it is in there, but won't load, and now won't let me delete. I don't think it's going to play nice with 4.1.2. Why not just ask Team Blackout to make one for JB 4.1.2? :) Cool dudes over there, and I'm sure they could do it in about 5 minutes! Just a thought :)

GB27 - Gingerbread or Jellybean?

I was looking at installing Jellyverse v3.0 onto my device, however at the bottom, it says it needs to be a jellybean modem.

I know that my modem is GB27, which by initials suggests Gingerbread not Jellybean. However, when I look at the websites that are suggested by Shadow_God, for JB modems, I see that they have modems with initials EK, GA, and GB all within the folder JB.

Can anyone clarify this mess of acronyms? Or even more direct - will Jellyverse v3.0 work with the modem GB27? Hoping for a yes, but I don't want to move forward until I hear back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
The code "GB27" can be broken down into three parts:

G B27 - the year. For our phone, E is 2011, F is 2012, and G is 2013

G B 27 - the month. A=January, B=February, C=March...L=December

GB 27 - the calendar date in the month and year specified.

Thus, EL26 was compiled on December 26, 2011. GB27 was compiled on February 27, 2013.

These codes have nothing to do with OS version, that uses the confectionary codenames, or version numbers (2.2 = Froyo, 2.3 = Gingerbread, 3.0 = Honeycomb, 4.0 = Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.1/4.2/4.3 = Jellybean)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
So govs and scheduler's are the same other than oc/uc ability right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigj231:
Not quite.

Governors control the clockspeed for a given load. if the system is idle, et will normally default to the lowest clock speed, and therefore lowest power state, to conserve energy.

Schedulers actually control how the threads are handled. For instance, video playback would get more CPU priority than bulk file transfers. Read the wikipedia page on scheduling for a more detailed explanation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduling_(computing)

If you're talking about the stability or suitability of governors/schedulers for OC/UC, that'r a whole other can of worms. Generally, a fixed clockspeed is more stable than the adjustable clockspeed governors in my experience. Usualy you have to overvolt when you OC and you can undervolt when you UC. Ideally, you stability test with the lowest voltages you can and find the lowest stable voltages for your chip. Lower voltages mean less heat and longer chip life.

Those schedulers are I/O schedulers. They control how data is transferred to and from the disk. I really like BFQ, but it's not very popular. You will only see a difference under heavy I/O loads.
