[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robertsanidiot:
I guess my comments got lost somewhere, so I'm just going to start over.

I'm trying to root my Virgin mobile galaxy s2. It's my first ever root. The main reason I'm doing this is so I can use jelly bean because I'm inpatient. My EXACT build number is, IMM76I.FL26. As far as I've checked, there aren't any one-clicks on the first page of this thread that match my build.

So, my point is; Help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I think the only ICS one click for virgin mobile is - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=63

It is FJ12.

What you could do is first flash the FL26 kernel using desktop odin PDA slot - http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=120 then flash the CWMSuperSU zip in custom recovery which will root the phone.

Hello, first post here. I've been running the blu kuban 1.0.5.3 on my girlfriend's phone for a few weeks. I picked up her phone today and noticed google talk is gone (no icon, nothing). Also when I try to run google+ it says cannot connect to server. Gmail still functions fine. When I first installed the rom (along with part 2) I verified that talk was working. I don't think the fix for gtalk referenced in blu kuban's development thread applies anymore since that was many versions ago. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Same fix for gtalk will apply. Remove any parts of gtalk and then from kuban updater, go under "put things back to stock."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] foxer720:
There is no "put things back to stock" option in this version of the updater. There is a "stock" menu that lets you download the full rom, part 2 v2, stock status bar, stock framework, and the default kernel.

I get a red exclamation mark with the dead android guy trying to do the update from fi27 to fl24. How do I fix this? I try applying the ota update, which didn't work because of what I mention in my first sentence. then I tried doing the manual update, which gives the same result.

no data / 3g

PLEASE help...I flashed the joyride jb rom and everything works fine except the 3g...I flashed my phone to CRICKET...wi-fi works...gps...everythin but 3g..i turnerd off the 4g and i enabled data over mobile network...but there is no enable 3g option on this rom...i tried to flashed all the modems on the jb modem repository...nothin...only data in wi fi mode....anybody help...im not a noob ...been at this for some time now but this is a first.i have looked and looked at the xda forums to no avail....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery? Have you removed any stock sprint apps. Remember you have to be fully stock for a successful ota update. If you are fully stock, you may have a bad download.

If talk is not in the updater, reinstall ROM without wiping data but do wipe cache and dalvik.

Joyride jb is codename? For that you need to be on an ICS or GB modem. Enabling mobile data enables 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joe.stay:
I was stock rooted when I tried to update the ota. When that fail because of the red triangle, I stock unrooted and downloaded the manual update and same thing happened. So, I downloaded again to make sure it wasn't a bad file and it still happened.

Thanks...I'll try ICS modem...but as I read in the forums was that for the job. I need job modem???. And yes it is codename...has anybody else got a job ROM that'll let me 3g?.,..gonna try a ICS modem now

Sorry lol.....my settings at predictive...the thread told me that I must run a jb modem or I will loose 3g..but the codename android joyride ROM 3.8....doesn't give me data other than Wi-Fi..can call and MMS and such...any clues?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
This is where it gets tricky. JB modems are required for

TW JB

modems. Codename is JB but it's AOSP JB so it isn't compatible with any of the JB modems. You will need an ICS or GB modem with Codename to get 3G working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shaun111:
no data 3g

ok...so i tried the fl27 modem (that what my origanal firmware was...) and no go....is there another jb rom that will work on a flashed to another company phone????i would really like to run the jb...but need my data...not just phone and sms,mms....like i was saying when i go back to the sprint rom i get a option for 3g on/off...4g on/off...???/

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

ok..so i went through a list of ics and gb modems....me mobile data is on and my 4g turned off?...i still will only get wi-fi data...is mabye because i am not on sprint network??? i am on cricket but dont know why that should matter?...any body who helps with this will get an immediate development donation...

Kernel for android 4.2.1?

anyone know of a cwm kenel usable with an android 4.2.1 rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
The 4.2.1 ROMs comes with their own kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joe.stay:
Hi. I am going to do the following steps and want to know if it is correct, so that I don't brick my phone. I am currently stock rooted fi27. I also have stock recovery.

1. Install Mobile Odin Lite.

2. Then go to http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...ery Kernels/ICS/Agat63 Recovery/Stock Repacks and download the tar file that is in the stock repack folder: tFI27_Agats_Recovery-rev1.tar. Is this the correct tar file to use? There are a couple of agats recovery files buy I'm not sure which on will work on my current setup.

3. Run mobile odin and place that tar file in the kernal section and run it.

4. Go into recovery after it installs successfully and do a nandroid backup.

That's all I have planned out right now. Is this all correct? Will this change the odin count? Can I go back to stock recovery anytime I want? What's the chance of bricking? Also, if I do all the above, can I do the update from fi27 to fl24 manually and still have root?

Edit: i meant tFI27_Agats_Recovery-rev1.tar
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
No. The tFE kernels are stock repacks only. They do not have custom recovery which is what you are probably looking for. You want the kernels that were rebuilt from source with custom recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421

Latest is 0.6.8.

I can't even find these on Rwilco's new site so I linked you directly to Agats.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joe.stay:
I thought tFI27_Agats_Recovery-rev1.tar is a stock kernal with agats recovery on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Derridad:
So, FJ12 is a Jelly Bean update, or something? What exactly does it refer to?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
FJ12 is an ics leak for virgin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Derridad:
So, if I understand it correctly, the only way to load 4.1.1 on Virgin is to flash something like Paranoid Android, which comes packaged with 4.1.1, and I must use the Desktop ODIN? Is that the easiest way? Thanks, sorry for being a total noob!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockingfreely:
Read This which is important to know for boost or virgin sph-710 users., I think I can help because I have a Boost Mobile Epic 4g touch phone. Anyways in case if you haven't got an answer yet, the epic on boost is almost identical to the sprint phone, with the exception of the boot up screen, the scroll down window saying boost or sprint, and the boost id apps etc. What matters when flashing Roms is two things..1. First off make sure that the Rom is specified for your device under the model number SPH-D710........ 2. Second check your Android version and Software version. The Android version is simple, if it ways 4.0.x (the x being whatever) you know your on Ice Cream Sandwich, but if it says 4.1x then your on jelly bean. So the next thing to know is your software version which can be displayed under different places (Baseband, kernal, and Softwhere version). Its usually 4 digits, For example FI27, FI18, etc, I have GA10 and am running jellybean. IMPORTANT: Picture texts and other multi media devices do not work after flashing a sprint rom however, there is a simply solution which can be flashed into your phone by a custom recovery such as AGAT. Here is the link to do the trick. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1758735 What that does is change your APN settings to the correct one to your boost device. I've tried many methods, this is the only thing that has worked for me and your do not have to mess with the APN settings or download anything for the market to correct the problem. Any questions and I'll be happy to help

~RockingFreely
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] driftinganomaly:
Could you post a link to the solution that you found? It could save someone with a similar problem a lot of time.

Most of the people trying to help you have the Sprint version. We have not run into the carrier specific problems that people on the newly available alternate carrier versions are running into. I have read about more work in progress to help developers make things work for other carriers, but it isn't streamlined yet.

These are very helpful people on this thread. The more information that they have, the better for everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Not necessarily.

If you have your mmsc and apn settings, you can flash the jb one clicks, you can have full functionality of the rom.

That's the break in the off settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
This is to fix 3g on Sprint e4gt's that have been fully flashed to cricket already. Only needed after flashing an aosp or other cm9/10 based ROM. Flash in recovery.

how do i change my apn to boost???

im on cyanogenmod 10.1 wild for the night and i have a sgh-d710bst.... how do i get a boost apn?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Putts:
Apologies for my noobishness, but I just came across this thread and wanted to ensure that I'm doing everything correctly. I just came from a HTC Rezound (and before that, HTC Incredible) on Verizon and the whole root/recovery/ROM process looks quite different on those. I bought a used E4GT on eBay to port to Ting, and I'd like to run the CM10 beta on it. I already used Odin One Click to root as listed in the 2nd post, but are the CWM install instructions still valid? The phone is on ICS/FI27, but I need to download a GB/EL26 kernel to get a custom recovery installed? The basic steps from here, as I understand it, are as follows:

1. Download CM10 beta and Gapps. Transfer them to the MicroSD card.

2. Download the repacked stock EL26 kernel from here (TAR/MD5 version) and also transfer to MicroSD card.

3. Install the Mobile Odin Lite apk on the phone.

4. Use Mobile Odin Lite to install the EL26 kernel. This will also install CWM recovery. This will also make the phone unbootable due to a GB kernel running on a ICS stock rom.

5. Boot the phone into CWM Recovery (power + vol up), and install CM10/gapps from there.

Does all of this sound correct? Thanks!

:( not recognized by pc

First of all, forgive me for my language for I am upset with myself and hope someone can help me. I did not know where to post this, so I figured this was best place. There was not a Dumb Ass Thread or I would have posted there.

I did some dumb stuff and used the Galaxy S2 GT-9100 forums to alter my phone. CWM, KERNEL, and Reset whole phone to GT-9100 cause things were not working lol. I did not realize there are so many versions of the Galaxy s2. Well after all the garbage I did. I am still able to go into ODIN, but I am not able to get my computer to recognize my phone now. There is no ping/notification nothing, no prompt about wrong drivers. After all of this I looked under battery and it was model Model SPH-D710, now in Odin it shows samsung gt-i9100.

Anyone have any advice?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do at this point. Flashing the international versions firmware rewrites your partition structure and changes drivers, etc. Unfortunately your only option to restore the device is possibly a JTAG service. Sorry! :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2ndComing:
That is what I figured, althought the firmware failed. But I guess it still hit teh drivers or something for the usb...what about a USB-jig?

blu kuban & Sprint voicemail notification

I installed the latest blu kuban and unistalled google voice / installed sprint voicemail from rom updates. Everything works except there are not voicemail notifications- the envelope that tells me to check my sprint voicemail. I'm not interested in sprint visual voicemail, nor google voice, just traditional voicemail with notification. Is this possible? Thanks!

SPH-D710

Hello,

I am running Android 4.0.4 with 3.0.15-1127689 rooted (Odin) kernel and IMM761.FI27 build.

This morning I got an OTA update notification and I hit OK. Here is what I got:

Android system recovery

Installing package

Finding update package....

Opening update package....

Verifying update package....

Installing update package....

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop","really long GUID")

Error in /cache/35935f252780.update_SPH_D710_FI27_to_FL24.zip

Install aborted.

This tells me that the rooted version protects from OTA updates.

I rooted the phone some weeks back, hoping to get USB host to work - that does not work however.

In order to get to FL24 I would have to un-root, correct?

Is the FL24 desirable in the first place or is it just a small patch? If that is the case, I might just ignore it and wait for Jelly Bean.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.

Bootloop after setting permissions for tweeks

Have found an issue with changing permissions to utilize tweeks within a rom but every time I change permissions (0777) then run execute in script handler as the op says I get an errror message then bootloop. I have read through the rom and searched this thread with no luck on finding the answer. In other roms the tweek have only said to change permission and have not talked about executing inscript handler and they work so why would some tweeks require the execute in the script handler?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Can you be a little more specific so someone can better help you and not guess? What tweaks? What ROM?

My apologies

The Dark Angel Rises version 4.0

set permissions to (0777) RWXRWXRWX

In root explorer or any file exploring app go to system/etc/init.d folder

press on script, set permissions, then click on script again open with linux script handler, then execute.

all set, script is now running

Rom runs great, I was just trying to use the tweaks to increase battery life. When searching threads I could not find information on permissions and executing in linux script handler. Would like to understand why some rom only require permissions to be changed for teaks to work and then why some require the addition of executing in linux script handler. I follow the above instructions but once I execute in linux script handler I get bootloop. Wondering what might be going wrong for me as it does not appear to be a problem in the rom thrread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Did you try giving the execute permission and then rebooting the phone to see if that helps?

Try this app too. I have had success with scripts and this app - Script Manager - SManager

Is there a trick to getting to download mode? Vol Up, Vol Down, Power???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Is it GSII boot screen or GT-i900? You said "can't seem to get Odin to connect" and then said "a trick to getting to download mode". So what is it exactly? You can or cannot get to download mode?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockingfreely:
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, just like everyone else you got to learn, and sometimes the hard way lol...But I think you'll be ok, I've yet to brick my phone and I've done the same, as you would call it, "dumb ass things" like flashing roms on my boost epic 4g that were international. I've actually had the multi rom on my phone, mind you with no service, the settings and home key not working, in addition to having the screen flip upside down hahahaha

So if you haven't already found a solution, maybe I can help or at least give you some advice for the future. As long as you are able to hold the volume down and power key to go into download mode (find anyway to get in download mode for that matter) your ok. Noobs call a brick when there phone doesn't boot up, but a true brick is when you can't access your recover or download mode...for whatever reason, in my experience our phone manages pretty well with flashing roms. Now just to let you know, you can also flash roms if you have a custom recovery, your stock one won't do the trick (as far as I know it useless). Here's where you can go to flash your phone back to stock ics....... Sorry ( can't post a link but type this is youtube "How to Unroot/Unbrick the Samsung Epic 4G Touch to Stock FI27 ICS" This should solve your rom issue your having and bring it back to stock. You can always google to found a rooted version as well ( don't forget to download an app called "adroid root toolkit to save your root and restore it to any new rom)Now remember to download samsung keis anywhere on your computer for the correct driver. A couple of things to check before you began flashing a rom. 1. Look at your model number.. Sprint, boost, and virgin are all sph-710, and also have a unique name like the "epic 4g touch." 2. Check and see if the rom your flashing will work for your baseband or software version, and look for 4 letters example fl18, fi27, fk23, GA10, etc. 3. Its a good habit to find a custom recovery to do a complete nandroid backup (this just means have your phone saved exactly like you have it with all your apps and data, wall paper, etc down to the bone save) or use a program like titanium for your important apps you want to save. Any questions I'll be happy to help ..

the problem is she is in houston and not very technical and having horrible service on hr phone. obviously she cant update the prl for her new celluar area. if i was there i would temp flash stock and update for her.

she is capable of flashing and nandroid backups and retores....

Backup before trying out other ROMs

Hello guys,

I have an e4gt on FI27 rooted with the "SPH-D710_FI27_CL1127689_Rooted_Nodata.exe" method. Basically what I want to do right now is to make a full backup of my phone how it's currently is (a nandroid for example). But I have no idea on how to install a recovery or w.e to start the process. I've read things like replacing kernel or installing a new rom that includes the recovery in it, but flashing the wrong thing might brick my phone or make it unstable. So basically what do I need to do to make a backup?

2nd if i want to try a custom ROM, would I be able to transfer all my data to it (apps, contacts, messages)?

3rd, since I programmed my phone to pageplus, does a nandroid save those settings too?
