Thanks

I guess what I meant was from the reading I've done and questions I've asked (everyone..and you know who you are:rolleyes: think I've bugged everyone to death:confused:) I've come to understand that the difference between Garwyns 5.0 and Agats 1.3&1.4 is the ability to oc/uc. Otherwise the govs...etc are the same.

Thanks for the link it was/is very useful.:thumbup:

Again thank you:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Yep, that pretty much narrows it down...there are a few other differences I'm sure, but those are the biggies :)

My phone frequently freaks out and spams the menu and search bar. Best I can figure, it happens when signal is poor. My phone effectively becomes unusable because the menus and keyboard either pop up rapid fire or refuse to go away.

I went to Sprint and they refused to do anything because I put a custom rom on. So, I flashed to 100% stock and it kept doing the same thing. Sprint replaced the screen. Still did it. Sprint replaced the phone. New, 100% factory, just out of the box phone still did it.

Is there any fix or recourse for this issue beyond buying a new type of phone?

Also, my sounds (SMS, email, gmail) irregularly reset to defaults, which is a huge problem being I use it for work and certain contacts have alarms to wake me up. Is this the phone, the apps, or what?

I can not get any boot ani's to work for me - I am running jd's deodexed ROM and nothing works - I've tried RTB - flashing in recovery - adding it manually - nothing works - I hate the stock VM boot ani - can someone please help ! :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If you are still under warranty, the only solution I could find it send it back to Samsung. They replace the screen and something else(defective heat shield, I think), and it worked perfectly for me. It's a hardware issue. There are work arounds that allow you to disable the keys completely and use touch screens keys(pie menu, for instance). Google graydiggy phantom key xda, should pop right up for you. And the default sound issue is new to me, sorry. Does it do it on stock as well as custom rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kayden96:
That's odd. It worked fine for like a year and then started having the issue and then a new device had it out of the box. If it was a heat issue, why does it usually only happen with low/no signal? If I'm sitting on wifi and shut it off, it happens right away until 3g kicks in.

Yes, unfortunately sounds mess up with every rom I've used. I thought it might be a problem with the sounds being located on the SD card, but even after moving them to internal flash it still happens. It looks like rebooting has something to do with it...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
After doing some research, it's probably because you're trying to flash bootanimation.zip, correct? Well, that rom(all new jb stock) have proprietary boot up files that are .qmp files. Try this link, it should work for all Samsung devices according to XDA news. Let me know!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah that MOD should work as jdsingle pointed out.

Here is what I did.. Using Agat's kernel. Not tested on stock kernel

-Removed bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from /system/media folder.

-Copy over any bootanimation.zip to the same folder and set correct permissions.

-Deleted poweroff.ogg and poweron.ogg from system/media/audio/ui folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
thank you jd !!! oh wow - I didn't remove any of that stuff - lol - I just flashed the bootanimations4u zip (with agats kernel) then owned RTB and tried a boot ani and it worked ! still had the original sound though - should I still delete those files that you did ? and can I get rid of the stock sounds ?

nvrmd - got rid of sound by deleting the poweron.ogg file - and so far, I've tried 3 bootani's from RomToolbox Pro and they have all worked !!!!! thank you guys - very much appreciated -

Been Searchin

I have a few questions, I have read xda for months and cant seem t find these on any thread or forum...I have the d710(boost) E4gt I can not access dtmf tones to have automated calls recognize me touching the keys (Voicemail mainly). I have searched everywhere...Hints, point me in the right direction? Google is my best friend, but I can't find it anywhere...

3. Not as important but if you have time as well or know; sprint tools/cdma tools does nothing what is it? It just comes up blank.

Running latest Dirty Unicorns on FL24 modem if that helps.

Almost there

So I'm ready to finally flash my first AOSP (previous post) and just have one or two last questions: it looks like wiping everything wtih JB X2 is maybe not the best way to go if I want to restore from backup (according to dev's OP.

Can I wipe the phone manually using AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.3.4? I seem to recall you can but don't remember what I should (and perhaps more importantly

shouldn't

wipe)?

Another question, when I flash stuff onto the phone, like a new ROM for example, how do I do so without replacing the existing CWM I have with some other one? Maybe I'm not asking this right. I just noticed that when I used a one-click ROM (GB 27 stock), it seemed to replace the CWM I had with another one.

(Just when I think I'm starting to understand this stuff I hit these Pockets of "Duh..." :confused:).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Those are fine. Just don't use the no data ones. Also keep in mind that this will not format USB storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ci2e:
Okay, so what do I need to do exactly to format everything apart from the SD card so I can reflash FI27 rooted restore, then use Titanium Backup to create a clean fresh slate?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Odin one click will wipe all data. To format USB storage, do it in settings.

I have recently had my s2 flashed over to cricket. Want to get my phone rooted with recovery...am running GINGERBREAD EL29. There is also a rom that I would like to use called CelestialBody Rom...is it possible for me to use this once my phone has been rooted w/recovery? Any help is greatly appriciated. If possible a list of the downloads I need. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
You can pretty much flash whatever ROM you want without worrying about losing your Cricket flash. I change ROMs at least once a week and haven't had any issues.

With that being said, there are still other issues to address, depending on which ROM you go with (TW-based GB, TW-based ICS, AOSP ICS, or AOSP JB). You'll need a special Cricket-specific messaging app for sure.

(Edit) Links below are from the og Epic4g section but confirmed working on our device...

Flash the zip in recovery to get 3g data working on any AOSP ICS or JB ROM, including cm9/10, AOKP, MIUI, PA... you get the idea lol

Hi all,

I've been posting frequently lately b/c I got a new E4GT and need to root it. My new phone is on 4.0 from factory. I'm on OSX and was referred to this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1939813

After DL and flashing, my phone is stuck on the 4G splash screen at start up.

I wasn't aware it wasn't for attempting to root but a full restore. (I may be getting my terminology wrong. Forgive my noobness).

I'm without a phone and internet in my home. I'm at a Starbucks writing this.

Anyone can help with directions in lame mans terms would be my hero.

Thank you!

You will need a pc that has the phone drivers installed on it to flash anything to the phone at this point.

Thank you so much for chiming in. So say I can get to a friend with a PC, which drivers would I need? I'm a big noob when it comes to these things and I always dread flashing b/c of my dumbness, can you perhaps be specific?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You should be fine with AGAT_Recovery tREC_v0.3.4 but to be 100% safe specially when flashing AOSP roms, use the EL26/EL29 stock repacks with CWM 5 which are linked in post 2 of this thread.

-Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Thats all you have to wipe manually.

ROM comes with their own kernel and since recovery is tied to kernel on this device, there is no way of keeping what you had before.

Remember that Agat, Garwynn's or any stock touchwiz kernels will never work with AOSP roms. Use the kernel that comes with the ROM or use lightning Zap kernel which is in the original dev forums.

How can you connect to Odin without download mode?

Are you able to boot stock recovery by holding volume up and power? (DO NOT DO ANYTHING IN STOCK RECOVERY, JUST REPORT IF YOU CAN BOOT TO IT)

I assume not, but are you able to boot to the stock ROM you had before trying to root?

What does your phone do when you pull battery, reinsert, and hold down power and volume down(try to go to download/Odin mode). And what about when you do the same but volume up instead of down?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tylarious:
Goes directly to the encountered issue page. It's connecting to odin though, through that page. It shows a progress bar and everything, so do you think that means I could just reflash a stock rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Matt_the_Geek:
without reading the entire 179 pages of this thread, and already being a tad frustrated at this point, I'm just going to ask. WTH do I have to do to get the USB Drivers to work? Win7 64bit, Virgin Mobile SGS2 stock, downloaded the 1.5 Samsung drivers from rwilco's site, uninstalled any Samsung drivers I had, deleted the folders for any others I downloaded. reboot. install the drivers from rwilco site. reboot. reboot phone into download mode, plug in. instantly get unknown device error, no even trying to search for a driver.

ok, it didnt like that. repeat process above, except this time boot phone in normal mode.

Nope, same crap.

was reading about having to "dial" *#7284# but it asks for my MSL that I dont know, (and MSL finder app cant find) and also *#9090# but that doesnt do anything on my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Try this:

1. Uninstall all drivers including KIES if you have it installed via the programs in control panel.

2. Disconnect the internet. This is a must since stupid Microsoft Windows 7 will still go out to the internet to update drivers even if they exist.

3. Install the Samsung Driver Suite (that should be what you're getting from Rwilco's site correct?)

4. Plug in the phone and see if it installs all the drivers correctly.

5. Reconnect internet when completed.

We can help with storage issues after you fix the driver problem.

Note: This is a known issue. I've had to reinstall my drivers several times with this method as Windows 7 downloads updated drivers on it's own and it hoses up things. ;)

On your MSL thread, it doesnt list the FL26 that I'm on, I assume not gonna work for me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It should work. Backup your rom first, just in case. ;) You won't be able to do anything unless you're rooted anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Matt_the_Geek:
And rooting is something I want to do as well. But, unless I'm thinking wrong, I need USB connectivity first.

Try my method for driver install and see if it works first anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
And you have tried a different PC? If yes and you had same results then it seems there is something up with the USB port on the phone. Now maybe it charges OK but a bad usb port can still affect data transfer.

Trying a different cable isn't a bad idea either. The stock samsung cables are not exactly the best quality.

SPH-D710_GB08_950738_Rooted_Restore.exe To get a GB27 modem and that should reset everything for JellyBean, and I'll have root right? Then just flash a custom rom away?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I don't understand what you mean by fragmented. They're pretty straight forward. If you're not already on a jb ROM, use a one click to partition the device, which I see you're doing. Then choose your ROM, use el29 or el26 recoveries to flash the ROM, follow any special instructions the Dev designates (ie wipe data, cache, dalvik) boot the ROM, flash a recovery if not provided, and flash any desired mods. Profit.:beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I wasn't replying to you in particular.

If you are going to flash a jb touchwiz ROM then you don't need to change modems.

If you are going to flash aosp jb ROM then you need a GB/ICS modem.

Roms come with their own kernel. Links to kernel needed to flash a new ROM is in post 2.
