As remotehugger said, the exact answer depends on what version you have. One option is to download a GS2 Rooted Stock ROM from rwilco12's repository (for the proper carrier version) and flash with Odin. He has that available under the Misc Downloads section. I know you can use Odin3 v1.85 for this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You do need to be rooted to use mobile Odin, so to root you'll need to use Odin on your pc. As far as the triangle and flash count, triangle away will fix that, I do recommend paying for the paid version as it eliminates the possibility of grabbing the wrong flash kernel and bricking your device. You can then use any of the tar files or one clicks for this device found at www.rwilco12.com to gain root and upgrade to jellybean:beer:

If it's saying flash an ics modem, then you're probably wanting cm or aosp rom. To flash a modem, use pc odin or custom recovery.

Downloads > GS2 > Your Version > Modems

You can download the version you want, whether that is zip, tar or one-click. Once you download it and unzip you can flash using the 'Phone' setting in Odin. Alternatively the one-click should take care of that for you by getting into download mode, plugging into your computer, and hitting start.

Just fyi, FL24 is the latest ICS modem, and you can download them all here. Rwilco12 has an app now too, with all your flashing needs at your fingertips :)

Last week I flashed Agat recovery v0.3.5 then did a backup and I'm still. Now I want to flash CyanogenMod 10.1 4.2.2 - WFTN rom but I'm kinda lost here. Do I have to in this order:

1. Install Clockworkmod Recovery.

2. Flash gb27 full restore.

3. Flash el27 kernel.

4. Wipe 'data'cache'dalvik'.

5. Flash CM 10.1 WFTN rom.

6. Flash gapps.

I think the only thing I may have left out was the modem.

Do I need to back-up all my apps to my ext. SDcard first?

Do I flash an ICS modem?

Can these actions be done in Clockworkmod Recovery?

I know I can use Mobile Odin to flash kernels but I'm not to sure about the rest:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yes, but you want el26 kernel and yes you'll need an ics modem. It can all be done from the el26 kernel which you'll need to flash with Odin.

But make a backup just in case
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlock420:
Thanks dude
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
So is this the correct order below if not please correct me:

1. Flash GB27 full restore kernel.

I visited Rwilco12's Repository, but which GB27 EL26 kernel has CWM that will overwrite the Agat recovery I flashed last week :confused:

I do know that after I flash GB27 full recovery my device will reboot so reboot to recovery to flash

2. Flash CM 10.1 .zip from "internal" sdcard.

3. Flash GApps zip from "internal" sdcardard.

Where do I find Gapps :confused:

4. Wipe 'data'cache'dalvik'.

I know I DO NOT restore apps so I moved my apps to my "ext" sdcard 32gig.

5. What ICS modem:confused:

When and where during this entire process do I flash this ICS modem I'm looking for:confused:

Sorry if I seem to be chasing my tail but I'm just trying to be super cautious not to brick my brick:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
After you flash GB27 Full restore, your internal memory will be wiped, so back up anything you have on your phones memory you wish to keep Allow the device to boot and transfer the ROM of your choice, along with gapps to your device. This will also leave you with the stock recovery so you'll need to flash the EL26 kernel via Odin found here. Afterwards flash your rom and recovery kernel of your choosing (unless the ROM comes with a kernel, then flashing the ROM alone will suffice) and reboot.

The compatible gapps package should be listed in the OP of the ROM you chose.

Correct.

Any ICS modem will work, you're best bet is to experiment with them to find the one that works for you. Typically its best to allow the rom to boot fully, then reboot to recovery and flash any extra's. I'm not 100% sure if this carries over to modems, but I have done it this way to avoid potential issues.

The order looks fine, so you should be able to just flash and enjoy:good::D

phone activation and rooting

My Phone Specs:

Carrier: Virgin Mobile

Model: Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch model sph-d710

Software version: Android 4.1.2, G28 Stock

Hi,

When I joined Virgin Mobile, my number was transferred and activated for their service plan.

Would this be lost if I rooted my phone? Would I have to call virgin mobile to reprogram my phone?

If this was stored on a SIM card, I guess it wouldn't be an issue. But this phone does not use a SIM card.

From what I understand is that memory gets wiped when you root.

I do not want to install any custom roms, I just want to have root access.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ADDICT.ANK:
Do this backup ur efs folder. It contains ur Imei. First

After that root ur phone. It will be fine.

And no data is wiped while rooting. But do backup ur efs foldes as i said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Incorrect. To properly partition this device to rooted jellybean, your data will be wiped. It's a pain, but necessary.

So, my phone number and data plan that's activated with my phone

. Correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
No, only what's on your internal memory, and only if you use the one click. Any pictures, documents, etc, will be lost. So back up to a pc, so you can recover all your files. Your imei and service won't be affected. We regularly have virgin mobile and boost users flash these without issue.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ADDICT.ANK:
No.

Not ur ph. Number. Just ur imei and restore it back later..

And well i dnt thnk that it gets wiped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Use this link and choose this file SPH-D710VMUB_GB28_1014481_Rooted_Restore.exe

This is the Virgin Mobile rooted one click jellybean stock ROM. Be sure to back up anything you have on your internal sd card that you want to keep.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

IMEI doesn't get wiped regardless of what carrier your device gets flashed to. Its a static number to id the device itself. What is an IMEI number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LM44:
Ok, Thanks to Stryke_the_Orc and Addict.Ank for your help.

Just curious. Since these phones don't have a SIM card, where is imei stored? Is it on a different partition separate from android?

You have to be on your dialer to get to call settings. So hit phone like you're going to make a call, menu, call settings, voicemail settings. And also go into app manager and clear voicemail cache(that's how you reset)
