I will read back through, but the first thing that I spot that will cause you problems is using the directbootEL29 won't flash a modem. Unfortunately mobile Odin doesn't do well with modems either.

I have read that when going to JB you should first do an Odin-one-click restore to JB FL16 to get the partition structures correct. You will want the Rooted Restore. It will format your internal SD card and erase Everything on it. So, back everything up. (I removed my external SD for this process, but that isn't really necessary.)

Make sure that you have the Rom, the .zip for the kernel for that Rom, the .tar.md5 file for whichever kernel with recovery that you are going to flash with.

Once you have done that, download Mobile Odin, and you can flash your kernel w/ recovery (Some advocate EL26, EL29directboot, or AgatICS safe recovery. I have used EL26 and EL29DirectBoot with no problems) Once you are in recovery, do a complete wipe - (data, cache, and dalvic), flash your rom .zip and reboot. You will then be on the rom.

There is no stable recovery for JB yet, so you will have to use mobile odin to get to a safe recovery to flash other zips with. When you are done, flash the zip for the JB kernel and reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SaveMEH92:
Yes and that kernel is nowhere to be found all da links are down

Easy just use mobile odin and flash el26 cw when it starts flashing and rebooting hold vol up and power immediately let go when white samsung logo appears. Next assuming u have da rom modem and calkulins format all in ur internal (or external but internal preferred), once in cwm activate power button by press vol up vol down vol up vol down. Then wipe cahce.and dalvik cache (under advanced) use calkulins format all zip. Then flash rom jellyverse then flash modem and ur good :)

No recovery for jellybean at the moment

Edit:nvm problem fixed installed root explorer all is swell!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rjdjstrand:
Okay thats how I thought it should be done. I wasn't sure if el26 came with a recovery and I know in reading that most have used el26 in flashing new roms. I will go ahead and use el26 instead. When flashing is all done, should my ability to make calls and send text be working right away or should there be any other settings I need to record before I flash to this new ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SaveMEH92:
Yea el 26 cwm tar is da name of da file.u use it with mobile odin. And ur calls and text is what flashing fl16 is for thats ur data witout it u wont be able to make recieve anythinf. But no worries cus u can still flash it thru one click modem incase u dont flash da modem but just flash rom and modem all in one shot its betterfirst rom then the modem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rjdjstrand:
I am starting with a ICS Stock ROM (FI27) with only rooted and custom recovery (AGAT) installed. Everyplace I have read has said to start with EL26 cwm when going to a new ROM. But you are saying I should do the ODin-one-click restore to JB FL16 first, then proceed to doing EL26, and finally flash my new ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes. JB one-click repartitions the phone. Its something we've had to deal with and you only have to do it once and it shouldn't affect you trying out other roms. However, you will need to backup your internal SD first because the partitioning will wipe it clean. External storage is safe.

Connecting epic 4g to a monitor or TV

Can anyone help me connect my Epic 4g (SPH d700 - Sprint version) to a monitor or an HDTV? I recently cracked my screen and the entire screen went black. The phone still works because i can still tap/swipe, etc. on the screen (and press the areas where I remember icons are. I can open apps, and even silence my reminder app) but i just can't see what screen the phone is on. I want to connect the phone to a monitor, projector, tv, or anything that i can connect it to that will allow the image on the phone to be displayed on it.

I tried buying an MHL micro usb to hdmi connector, but when I connected the phone to an HDTV, the TV was not receiving a signal from my phone to display the image. Is there anything out there that I can do to have the image/screen of my phone to display on another device such as a pc monitor (or whatever)?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rjdjstrand:
So once the "ODin-one-click restore to JB FL16 Rooted Restore method" is done running, what will I see on my phone? Does my phone at this point have the stock JB kernal (FL16) with root, and my AGAT recovery is still available? Will I be able to access my phone at this point? I just want to make sure I understand what will happen when I run this. Thank You.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You will have stock odexed FL16. I would choose one of the two rooted versions. JB does not have custom recovery (nor does any STOCK rom), so if you choose to flash to a custom rom, you would need to odin a custom recovery using mobile odin or pc odin. The one-click odins are the easiest to use to flash kernels. If you're not sure where to obtain kernels, check the OP here or search for the kernel repository.

No matter what you decide, you still need to follow the instructions that are normally posted on the opening page of any rom for specific flashing instructions and procedures.

Edit: There are a lot of quirks with JB. Do as much reading as possible and the first boot takes at least 5 minutes so be patient. ;)

I am on rooted deodexed FL16 by Kobridge, and I was trying to write in the system/csc/feature.xml to turn on the tilt effect on the launcher and i cant get the write to save. I assume that i need to change permissions to accept the write, but I have never had to do this before and I cant figure it out in settings. I am using ES File Explorer and ES Note Editor. Can you help me?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Make sure you backup that file first. Long press the file. Go to properties and there you will see the option to change permissions.

Not sure what to do with rooted stock EL29

Hello all. I am new to flashing and rooting but able to successfully flash my E4GT from ICS 4.0.4 back to GB 2.3.6 via the following XDA instructional post --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 RESET user data .exe file was used.

While I am pretty proud of myself for doing this, my camera, alarm clock, and facebook apps no longer work. I am not sure what I need to do in order to reslove the issue. I keep getting the spint update available notification to ICS (from whence I came), but wasn't sure if the phone would brick if I tried an OTA update and took it that software version since I rooted. I would like to stay on GB as that firmware seems to be stable and after replacing the battery (previous battery was a swollen spinner) all seemed to be working normally subjected to the aforementioned apps that no longer worked.

Any guidance or advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
While you are on EL29, its safe for me to recommend going ahead and trying a factory reset, as long as you have everything important backed up, and seeing if that resolves your application issues. Since you did the reset (restore), I'm assuming you're OK with resetting.

To stop the notifactions while you're on EL29, there is this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30205683

Thank you very much. Do I need to do a reset via the GUI or via the Restore method? Thanks again!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Hold the thanks til we get ya set. ;)

Try from the gui first. Not saying it was a bad d/l, so if the gui reset doesn't work, maybe try downloading once more. I haven't been back to el29 in a long while but there's the possibility that it's app related.. but one thing at a time. See what the gui factory reset will do for you.

FJ12 not supported?

I'm having a bit of an issue...

I would like to flash a ROM, but I can't see it being safe being that I don't have any custom recovery to fall back on.

I'm running modem FJ12 (Virgin Mobile Stock) and I see CWM Recovery doesn't support that yet. (At least not that I've seen)

How can I go about flashing ROMs like this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hituoff:
Sorry about that... and thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satniro:
A factory reset via GUI did the trick. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Good for Moho for thinking of the factory reset. :good:

Don't forget to flash the OTA killer I posted that he gave you the link for above to remove the update notification nag.

Note: Just for your own reference. I think the original problem was probably caused because you tried to retain your data (by flashing the version that retains data ;)). It is usually not recommended as a general rule. Also, don't forget to backup the important stuff on your SD like photos once in a while. I keep dropbox app on my phone. It automatically uploads my photos or screencaps whenever I'm on wifi.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
In my sig (not visible in xda app or tapatalk) there is link to a thread related to battery issues. Post this there.

You need to paste full screen shots of kernel wake locks and partial wake locks. Stop wiping stats and stop rebooting.

I will try that tomorrow as I'm on my phone now and don't want to retype or copy that lol.

I will say since I've tried nearly everything, I figured I'd try wiping dalvik. I was down to 5% battery, rebooted into recovery... Wiped... Rebooted... 46% battery... Huh? I'm at wits end. I unplugged and am trying to run down the 46% and see how fast it goes... Maybe dalvik somehow opened up the other half of my battery? We'll see...

I have been flashing one-click nodatas for some time. I am currently up to the FJ and FL roms which have been giving me a problem where flashing rooted builds leads to complete instability (constant rebooting and freezes) and the unrooted builds have a bug in which the phone log is simply black and unreadable.

I think I need to flash a restore build to start fresh, but I don't want to have to reinstall all of my apps. What is the best way to back up these apps?

hey, new to the epic touch, coming over from Htc evo3d, had a htc evo, and htc hero before. So I'm knowledgeable about cwm, and recoveries, and flashing roms. But as I've read stickies here and there, the process seems to be a bit different with samsungs.

The phone was stock with gingerbread el29 i believe. I rooted it with the ODIN pc click. Then realized that just roots el29 gb. So then I started looking around at all these other oneclick roots. I'm know on FI27 one click root.

Still kinda of confused about safe recoveries, and making sure you have a safe recovery to start flashing custom roms.

So what I want. The most up to date and stable JB rom for the phone. Its hard trying to figure out what is up to date, and what are dead builds.

So if there is a JB ASOP or CM10 thread that is still current point me in the right direction.

Next what do I need to do to get this rom on my phone?

-do i need to do a certain ODIN one click? and then flash cwm? or yeah....confused.

EDIT: I found a pretty easy video on putting a custom recovery on FI27.

Cm10 experimental is really good. Don't let the file name fool u. It's pretty stable pretty much everything works. Or u can try paranoid android. Its my daily driver at the moment and I love it. I'm using cwm and had no problems so far. But check to see what recovery comes with the rom so it will b easier to access your backups. I came from an evo 4g as well where u stay with the same recovery. Happy flashing.

OTG - USB Host question

Hello,

Here is my goal:

I want to use the DSLR controller app. by Chainfire for my Canon 50D. I got an USB Host cable, but my phone is not going along.

I am on a Samsung Galaxy S2 Sprint (SPH-D710) and used Odin to root it to FI27. So far so good.

But where do I go from here?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mewikime:
So I'm currently on stock unrooted FI27, and while I've been OK waiting for JB to come via OTA or Kies, I'm dying to see what it's like now! But I'm still a bit hesitant to do it early without knowing all the ins and outs and making sure I understand everything.

If I install FL16 (I think that's the latest, right?) , I should do it from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35841042&postcount=1, which links to This SXTP Developers page. Will this completely wipe the phone? Last I'd heard upgrading to JB would, but from some of the comments it appears that doing the "Nodata" version will allow me to keep everything, and if I choose "Rooted_Nodata" it will root my phone at the same time? If I do this, will I still be able to do further update the phone using Kies or via OTA, or will I be restricted to doing it with Odin in the future?

At the same time I'm doing this, I want to install a mod that will kill the camera sounds, and there are a couple of mods that tdunham's done, specifically the call record and extended toggles, that I'm interested in doing, but it says they are for "deodexed FL16 only". How do I deodex it? And can I do that while sticking with the stock rom?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Coming from ics, you will need to use the one click that wipes data. All user data and internal sd card will be wiped. You can try the one.click which preserves user data but from other posts, they had issues.

Odin one click is not deodexed. To get a deodexed rom, try kobridge's fl16 rom which is pretty stock.

Oh and ota might work if all you do is flash rooted one click and nothing else. But it is very easy to flash stock fi27 firmware which allow ota update.

can i use a usb jig?

i believe i have bricked my et4g while trying to flash a rom with odin ive used it a few times before so i know how to use it although i was too hasty and forgot the md5 file in the pdf spot and let it go (rookie mistake i know) but now the screen stays black and the notification light stays blue ive tried every method except a jig and a jtag a jig i can manage on my own but am i wasting my time with it? or can i jtag it? or do i have to send it to sammy? any help is greatly appreciated :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Pretty much sounds like an emmc brick to me, coming from experience. If all you have is that dreaded blue light and nothing at all from the screen, you're unrecoverable. All I got was a blue light and anything I tried would not work. I'm betting when you hold your power button, your blue light will wink at you huh?

From all of what I've read for nearly 2 weeks of research to try and recover mine, there is no recovery and a JTAG will not work so save your money. Jig isn't for a brick either.

There's plenty on the subject to read and you should probably read as much as you can before you come to your own conclusion.

Not trying to be a downer, but chances are you're gonna find out that it is gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bamfkiller420:

I was under the impression that the Sprint version of this phone is the only one where Samsung disabled this function. In other words the firmware turns it on/off. Looks like I have to look for a different phone/solution...sigh.

Here to report that regrettably the instructions in the first two posts do _not_ work for the Virgin Mobile version of this phone (SPH-D710VMUB). Mobile Odin reports "Device model not supported" and cannot proceed. I've also attempted flashing the EL26 and EL29 CWM recoveries through standard odin and succeeded only in soft-bricking my phone both times. Thankfully I was able to restore the stock FJ12 rom.

Has anyone actually managed to get clockwork recovery installed/working on a SPH-D710VMUB running FJ12? I want very badly to switch to CM or something similar, but none of the instructions for the SPH-D710 seem to work for this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
When you flash EL29 or El26 using desktop odin, phone will not boot so hold power + vol up to go into recovery. Allthough EL29 directboot should directly boot into recovery if it flashes correctly.

To get mobile odin working, you have to edit 1 line in build.prop. Recomended only if you have done it before. The line that has SPH-D710VMUB should change to SPH-D710.

Is anyone experiencing crazy battery drain after a phone restart? I'm running Jellyverse 0.4 FL16. Batter might be at around 50% when it starts to get a little laggy. I perform a restart through the menu and it boots up at something like 10%. Its pretty consistent. I was also having this problem when I was running stock rooted FL16.

Galaxy SII Screen-locked

I'm not quite a noob, but it occured to me today that I really don't know what I'm doing. I've flashed several roms from zip files, and just flashed a newer rom, Goodness [JB]. I think I screwed the pooch with that one. It had some problems, most notably I don't think I had a JB modem (jk23?) or whatever that means. I tried to flash a compatible modem, and got the "Signature Verification Failed" when I tried to flash. BTW, recovery looked odd (e3?). I'm just spouting things I noticed but had no idea what they meant. I gave up, sort of -- ran out of time, and phone worked, just no internet unless I was on wifi.

Recovery seemed to be missing, and flashing a kernel would fix that, right? This afternoon I installed Odin on my PC, and couldn't figure it out. Just a window with a bunch of boxes that doesn't do anything when I press start. I bought Odin light (play store) and downloaded the FK23 kernel (Agat63's - tFK23 repacked kernel). I added it to the kernel box, and flashed.

And here we are. I have a Galaxy SII logo.... It's nice and all, but I would prefer something my wife can keep track of me with that I get to play freecell on. Help?

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Hold the phone. I seem to have gotten some life out of the PC version of Odin. By some random pressing of buttons while resetting phone, I got into some sort of Odin recovery screen. I then added Agat_FK23 to the bootloader file box and pressed start. Woo hoo! I seem to have a phone again. I'll report back after I re-install everything (I think one of the steps must have been a data wipe, as it looks like a fresh install screen).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Teknician:
Goodness Rom has no custom CWM and what you saw was just a rooted stock cwm. Pretty much uselesss. I also got stuck again flashing Goodness last night and for some reason i always end up stuck at the setup screen not finishing before it keeps crashing.

Thats why i found it best to keep a thumb drive or PC handy with your drivers and a copy of el26 CWM One-Click so if that happens, then you can recover.

If you do get to compete the setup and get to log into the Play Store, first thing is download Mobile Odin and keep a copy of a custom el26 cwm tar.md5 and flash that kernel when you need to restore, backup or flash any zips.

Check out Goodness's thread and there is a compatible recovery kernel you can flash in Mobile Odin that seems to work well. Goodness's kernel is rooted but stock.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Correction. The ROM itself is rooted. The kernel included in the ROM is the stock kernel because there are currently no reliable kernels with a custom recovery for JB. Although Agat is super close! ;)

As for the lockups some people have reported that when they have the boot loop issue they flash the EL29 direct boot kernel and then reflash the ROM. Give that a try.
