I got a lightly used GS2 to use with Ting, and brought it up to stock Jellybean without a problem. Trying to use gorei's 10 minute method to get to Kitkat left it stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen, and attempting to bring it back to JB with the stock ODIN recovery exe provided my Samsung leaves me at a bootloop on the Sprint-4G animation. What's my best plan of action to try and get some functionality back to my phone?

Project X

I need to remove some bloat on my galaxy s2 and im running project x i was wondering if it was safe to factory reset on this ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
If you want to debloat, you should try Project X 3.6 Bare bones. It is an extremely debloated version of the ROM.

Touched By S4 to Cyanogenmod 10.1

Hey, all. Recently, I've been running the Touched by S4 Rom on my phone. However, I would like to flash Cyanogenmod 10.1. But from the research I've done, I'm gonna need some sort of... EL26 recovery kernel and EL29 modem. Right now, I'm on GB28 with AGAT 0.3.5 kernel. Now, what I want to know is, how exactly would I go about getting Cyanogenmod from this point? I don't want to end up bricking my phone, or getting any boot loops.

I do have the full Mobile Odin app, if that helps. Is it possible to flash the Cyanogenmod 10.1 through AGATS? Sorry if my questions seem a bit disjointed and all over the place. I'm just being really concerned and cautious. Thanks in advance, guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acesavant00:
That's my device info down there!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You don't need the EL29 modem to flash. However, because there was a bug awhile back, must devs recommend using a "stable" recovery to flash roms on E4GT. So my advice, do a backup, flash the el29 recovery, reboot into recovery(your phone won't boot when you flash el29 recovery), wipe everything, flash all the cm stuff, reboot, profit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acesavant00:
Thanks for the advice, man! Do you know where I could find the el29 recovery, and whether I could flash the kernel safely throufh mobile odin? Also, will this method work for more recent versions of Cyanogenmod, like 10.2 or 11.1 for KitKat?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Look in the stickies in the Android Development section, you should see rwilco12's Kernel Repository, every kernel for this device is there. Yes it can be done through Mobile Odin, just make sure you grab the tar. This method will work for flashing ANY ROM on the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D3athrow:
I've had my 4g touch for a long time, about 2 years now. Finally decided to put something other than touchwiz on it but the only roms i can find are stock and require me to know my software version, which about phone doesn't show.(stops at hardware version)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I'm not sure I follow. Snap a screenshot of your "about phone" page, and then link the rom you want to flash and I'll tell you if it's compatible. Also there are tons of custom roms for the E4GT my friend. Some REALLY good ones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] D3athrow:
Ah, well after some fiddling anyways i managed to get cm9 installed on the phone. ended up having to wipe the phone after the first try because i didn't see the big warning about flashing from ICS

But maybe you can help me with my new issue. The phone is detected on my computer when i plug it in via USB however all that comes up are 2 'removable disk' drives that prompt me to insert a disk. I am unable to access the internal storage of my phone anymore. I've tried usb switcher and it's on mass storage. i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a few times and tried different cables.

Stock VM

Hey ya'll. I've moved on to the SGS III (still with Virgin Mobile) and my mom wants to have my S II. I'd like to get it as close to stock as possible before giving it to her. I've been on Wild for the Night for almost forever. And I was dumb and never made a backup of the stock ROM before flashing 10.1, so restoring a backup isn't going to be an option. What are my options? And does the phone have to be activated on my mom's account before I do anything to it? Or is it okay to get it back to stock before putting it on my mom's account? (I've never had reason to put a previous phone back on stock so I have no clue about the dos and don'ts.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Just flash back to stock tar via Odin before swapping it to your mom, you'll be 100% stock. Just make sure if you have anything on your internal drive, save it to pc before flashing tar. Here's the file to flash(one click is there too if you're familiar with flashing those). This is for Sprint, but hit the back button on the site for other carriers. Good luck!

I'm having a problem with cyanogenmod 11 for the e4gt. Anyone notice how the phones max brightness is not as bright as gb27 stock rom? its definitely not a display setting issue. I think its something with the system files. anyone know a fix for the dimness, or system files that control the screen? Also, ive heard of people having the same problem with cm11 with different phones. I came across a forum that says you need to edit the system file "hw_config.sh" in the "system/etc" directory, but no such file exists in my version of cm11. Help?

Hello all,

Trying to do my due diligence and searching various forums with no luck/clue... </wtf>

I'm moving on to the S3 after having used the Epic 4G Touch for some time with CM 10.2 Build 20140330. Instead of throwing it in the scrap heap/recycling it, I'm looking at re-purposing it into an XBMC client. I've successfully tested its wireless capabilities/throughput on my network and its video playback, but I'm looking at a good general purpose ROM to get MHL/HDMI output+audio to my TV.

Could someone please enlighten me as to the "best"/"most stable" ROM(s) I can evaluate to serve my purpose? Any advice is better than nothing.

Thank you all very much.

I already rooted my phone, running goodness 1.0.3 on fk23. I wanted to try out some 'newer' roms and to backup my current rom, however I'm still on the stock recovery. What is the proper way to get CWM installed while keeping my current rom intact?

thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
How did you flash goodness? Isn't it a zip that has to be flashed through custom recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Yep. That's the only way he could've. I don't remember 100% but u think I packed it with one of Agat's kernels.

Bootlooped please help!!!

I need help. I was on El29 stock. I read that mobile odin could flash one click files after they're unzipped. Well i did so and flashed Gb27. The phone bootloops and cwm is lost. Also my charger port is damaged so i can't odin. Is there any update.zip that i can flash thru stock recovery or anyway i can fix this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Boot into recovery and try wiping cache and Dalvik. Sometimes they don't clear properly with a Mobile Odin flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:
It doesn't show an option to wipe dalvik. I wiped the cache and its still the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
It's under advanced
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shar88:
I did flash through recovery, but its the stock one, not CWM. As such there's no backup/restore which I would like to preform. I'd like to get a backup before I start playing with flashing again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Philz recovery is the best there is in my opinion. I'm pretty sure he has one for the E4GT.

Edit: here's the like for the D710. Flash the tar in Odin, done. And be sure to go to his OP and thank him. Man does amazing work.

There is no advanced. When i flashed Gb27 thru mobile odin and it bootlooped i lost cwm. I only have stock recovery. I tried all of the different update.zip's and none of them seem to pass the verification.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Word to the wise. Don't flash roms through mobile Odin. Try flashing the rom again through pc Odin. And before you do that, flash philz tar through pc Odin(after going into download mode on your phone), and reboot into recovery so you have your backup
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:
Thanks for the advice. Is there any way that i can fix it with an update.zip or something because my charger port is broken.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If you're in a bootloop, and are on stock recovery...hmmm. Without being able to flash anything through Odin or cwm, I don't think so. You could try an an ota zip through stock recovery, but chances are it will fail. I know there are some around.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:
I've tried all of the ota zips and they all failed. It's disappointing. I appreciate the help tho.

I did once get Touched By S4 to flash in stock recovery fwiw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:

I renamed it update.zip, put it on the sd card and hit "apply update zip from sdcard" in stock recovery

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n00b-xda-disciple:
My sgsiii mini variant had that same problem. I think you need to repartion with odin. Get a hold of your pit file, stock rom tar ect for odin pc. Your partition table is screwed up so nothing is able to mount... NOTHING. So without your charger port i don't think there's much you can do besides getting your phone replaced. I wouldnt recommend mobile odin ever...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:
Thank you. I can get the charger port fixed for $30. When i do i can just odin a rom of my choice right or do i have to find a thread on how to repartition with odin first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Just flash the tar of your choice. You were trying to flash GB27 from EL29, so just grab the GB27 tar from [MENTION=4513677]rwilco12[/MENTION]'s repo and go from there. Once you're up and going, you can then flash your custom recovery from Odin as well. But I would definitely try to get the port fixed if you plan on rooting and flashing much with this, or any phone. Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Real550:
Okay, thanks a million!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shar88:
Thanks for all your help. I was just about to flash this but then read how it does not support touchwiz. My current rom is TW(goodness). Does this mean I won't be able to backup my rom, flash a tw rom, or boot a tw rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Philz certainly supports TW. And when you flash it, you can back up your rom, flash any rom you want, TW or AOSP, and boot fine. Not sure where you got that from, but I'm on TW and use Philz exclusively.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
I'm thinking he forgot that the E4GT has recovery packaged with the kernel. It isn't that way on any of the newer Samsung models like the S3 or newer. Agat's works great on TW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Hmmmm....I guess you're right. I did use Agat while on the S2. Didn't get philz until the S3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
All you would have to do is swap in the TW kernel zImage to use it though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shar88:
Ok let me make sure I'm doing this right... I'm on fk23 with stock recovery on my rom(goodness). I want to put cwm on so I can take a backup before I try something else.

Can I just download fk23 from here and use the tar and flash with odin? My rom and data will be exactly the same with just cwm installed?

Thanks for all the help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yep
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shar88:
Ok so I ran the mobile odin instructions here. Clicked opened file, selected my tar file, selected flash firmware, hit check, phone reboots... and then just boots back up into my normal rom without flashing anything.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Do you have a custom recovery? Or are you stock?

Hello there.. I am on JB GB 27 one click odin root. Yesterday I flashed AGATS recovery for the above kernel and it was so quick and smooth.

Not Exactly Sure What's Wrong

Today my NON-ROOTED cell was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 message/symbol...I took out the battery to "rest" it, but it didn't work.

I researched and asked some questions and was advised to wipe cache from recovery mode...It didnt work. I was then advised to wipe data/factory reset from also from recovery mode. Nothing as well, the only change is now I CAN'T get into recovery mode.

I can however enter download mode. After doing more research I found out that I can possibly do certain things to make my phone right again.

I was trying to do Odin, but Kies 3 DOESN'T recognize my device and it seems I need that to install drives. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Kies and used 3 different USB cables in 2 different ports.

Not sure what else can be done and I want to be as careful as possible. I'm a bit of a noob so please be patient with me :angel: !!!

I appreciate any and all advice, opinions, and suggestions. Thanks in advance! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Did you install the drives to your PC so Odin recognizes your phone? If not, it won't show up. Once you get Odin to recognize your phone you can flash a stock tar to get you back to a working phone hopefully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mysticaries88:
I'm not sure how to do that. What steps need to be taken?

Is anyone here on a recent Villuminati? I'm on 4.4.4. I'm coming to it from 4.3.1, so am still getting used to things, but there are two things that have baffled me about it so far:

1) There used to be this cool feature in settings>launcher>dock>pages. It allowed you to have more than 1 dock at the bottom of your screen. You could swipe horizontally to get to them. I can no longer find this setting.

2) What you get when hitting the menu button (or whatever you call the lower-left soft button) from the home screen is now completely different. I'm used to being able to get to Settings and also Apps (i.e. settings for apps) very quickly from there, but they're both now gone. Is the menu that comes up when pressing this button customizable? I realize that you can scroll down and see a bunch of things, but none of that has helped so far.

[MENTION=5749196]cudencuden[/MENTION], you're not supposed to see an actual new COM port showing up in Device Manager. Sometimes it's a bit of a black art getting USB cable communications working properly. I had *great* difficulty with Win8. Are using it? If so, I'd suggest Win7 for this. Or just another machine, if you have one. Also, did you run the oneclick as admin? Another thing that comes to mind: try a different driver.

The best thing is to download Philz Touch recover for D710. It is the Best way to flash KK ROMs. There is no need to flash a bunch of stuff. Once you have Philz on your phone,

1. boot into recovery

2. install Philz Touch

3. reboot into recovery

4. wipe data, cache, dalvik

5. flash ROM and Gapps based on what the OP said.

E4GT Menu button self-activation

Hey all,

Figured this would be the right place to post, my being a noob and all. My E4GT has been exhibiting the issue where the menu button goes on and off on its own. I've read a few threads on different boards (can't link any since I'm a noob) which cite various possible causes, ranging from hardware to software issues.

A little background:

I've had the phone since early August, and the problem only started to exhibit itself around early October (still on stock ROM at that point). I'm currently running AOKP, but I flashed back to stock FF18 a while back and updated one version at a time. The issue persisted across all of these. It's not quite as bad in AOKP with the touchscreen sensitivity cranked all the way up, but still happens from time to time and is quite annoying. I went to Sprint (with a stock phone of course), and they refused to replace it citing the fact that "Samsung told them it was a software issue and a patch is on its way in the near future". They said that they had tried replacing touchscreens in the past to no avail, and that all they could do was factory flash my phone to see if that fixed it. I've searched the site here and have found nothing relating to this particular issue in the E4GT section.

My question(s) is/are: Can anyone confirm whether this is a hardware or software issue? If it is something that can be remedied, would someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of said fix? I can't for the life of me seem to find one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It is a hardware issue. There are couple other threads and in one of them some said that sprint opened the device and cleaned something near the antennae that fixed it. This is happening when you are in low signal areas. So no fix but if you are lucky, cleaning could fix it..
