If I remember right, there was some kind of issue with the signal icon. When your WiFi is off, can you still access data? Such as the internet. I think you have 3g regardless of what it says.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
Worked like a charm. . . I'm back to stock:

Android 4.1.2

Build JZ054K.SPH-D710.GA10

Software Version GA10

I booted to recovery and Android is on his back. So now to get CWM recovery back so I can flash CM10.1. . .

Do I grab the once click recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vsfh:
bleh. Directboot el29 killed my boot. I can still get identified in Odin.

What's the best steps here, knowing what I want to do is triangleaway?

It seems to me what I should do is grab the individual files needed and flash via Odin, triangleaway, do whatever I need to do to get CWM back in, and then nandroid back to my last backup. Is that correct, and does anyone want to point me to the proper file(s) for use? Since I've done this, does this remove my root, or would I still be rooted?

So much I still somehow don't understand about android, which is hilarious, considering I've used linux for 15+ years. Sigh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I apologize in advance for not paying attention.

Why not just flash a rooted ics one click, use triangle away and go from there?

I guess I'm not understanding all the multiple steps you're trying.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vsfh:
I always thought CWM was a better / safer way to do flashing, and that download mode gave you an easier method to bricking your phone

Download mode is what I've got now... I'd love to still get triangleaway, get back to CWM, and restore my last nandroid. If I can do a one click, I suppose that's next. Any recommendations to which? (ff18?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
You can do a one click if your goal is to restore a nandroid.

What is your nandroid? Is it an ics rooted with custom recovery?

Do you currently have a custom recovery?

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vsfh:
My nandroid is from my CM10, it's cwm 6.5. something.

It wasn't ICS (if it was I would've run triangleaway, lol.), it was JB (CM10 beta 2).

Currently I appear to have bricked my recovery -- I can't get to boot recovery, just download mode; I'm guessing that either a) it was corrupted (no md5 remarks) or b) kernel fuzziness / compatibility issues

Thinking oneclick -> triangleaway -> nandroid, however, not certain about that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Oneclick an ics> Odin a kernel/custom recovery> triangle away> nandroid.

FI27 lightweight Rom

I'm running the FI27 Lightweight Rom on my Sprint epic 4g touch. I really like this Rom but I can't download the app 'Words with friends' it gives me a error "Couldn't install on USB or SD card". I have used to Calkulin's Format program and reflashed the rom still same problem. I fixed permissions still same problem. I cleared data for the play store still no fix. I'm lost on how to fix it. I would of posted this on the roms developer page but i cant yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I just installed it and I am currently on that rom. It installed just fine. Maybe your storage is full. OR try this - If you have an external sd, unmount it, install game, mount sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BlazinThat:
How can I tell which kernel/recovery is safe? Are ones after a certain version the safe ones?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
The 2 linked in op are as safe as you can get to do everything in a recovery.

Then you have agats and kuban kernel in original dev forums.

Then you have jb cwm6 kernel that is on jb roms.

These are all considered safe but I always use gb cwm5 kernels when in doubt. Personal advice.. Dont flash jb roms using ics kernels. Instead use the ones linked in op.

Enjoying King Kang But...

I have successfully flashed King Kang Alpha 3.1 on my e4gt, and in the ROM's prior posts I see that there has been mentions of the desire for a 4G toggle, as well as a bug with the task manager not showing up on long press. Those are my biggest gripes too. Might there be any mods or alternate changes out there that would allow for them?

Soft brick vs Hard brick

Ok, I have spent a really long time figuring out where to post this, but I still can't figure it out. Please forgive me if this is the improper place.

To start, I have a Samsung Galaxy S II from Sprint. The Epic 4G Touch, Model SPH-D710. I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 OSX. Recently, I followed the steps as listed by h tt p:// epic4gtouchroot .com /epic-4g-touch-root/ how-to-root-epic-4g-touch-on-mac-or-linux/

The Terminal went through the entire process and said it was successful. I thought 'Wow! That was easy!' However, upon rebooting my phone, it never booted past the splash screen which showed "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" with a yellow triangle at the bottom. At this point I could access Download mode, Recovery mode, this splash screen, and the charging battery that is shown when it is charging and powered off.

I was so confused so I spent about 3 hours on xda looking for an answer. Next, I downloaded Odin and packaged it for Mac. Then I downloaded the Samsung drivers just in case, and the stock ROM for my particular phone. I went through and tried to use Odin. Much to my dismay, Odin would not recognize my phone at all.

So then, I downloaded a .zip file containing the Official Samsung ROM, and put it on my internal sdcard. Under ClockworkMod, I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and wiped all user data. Then, I applied the .zip file using the option in CWM, and it said that it was successful. However, upon rebooting, it went back to the same screen with the yellow triangle.

Next, I downloaded the CF root, and tried to apply it the same way through CWM. Again a fail. However, now upon rebooting to splash screen, it would progressively turn from a black/gray screen to a white screen. Once it got to the white screen, it stopped and stayed there for about an hour. Then it died.

I tried to boot to Download mode but it says that the battery is too low. So now I am trying to charge it. However, it tries to load the charging battery icon that is normally shown when charging a powered off phone, and flashes to black. From this black screen it again slowly turns gray then white. Once it reaches the white screen, it turns back to the charging icon, and starts the stupid cycle over again. Its been doing that for the past 30 minutes.

UPDATE: My battery is not charging AT ALL. Whether plugged in to computer or wall it continues the cycle.

UPDATE 2: I made a video so that you can see what the phone actually does. I still can't post links, so please remove the spaces. http :// youtu .be /4LW60EknFWw

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Josey Wales:
Lol. . . I hit that little button a few too many times last night and reached the limit. Will do when able:highfive:

So which is the correct "one Click" .exe EL26 kernel with CWM included:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
I also suggest Google searching for jbformatallx2.zip. I'd link you to the thread, but I forgot where it came from. i think tdunham made that. But if you're gonna be flashing jb Roms, its very useful, you don't have to manually clear caches, and reset. It does it all for you in one step.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

Yes you can use that, but make sure you have ALL the files you need for the ROM you want to install on your SD card BEFORE you use that. If you are talking about what I think you are, that's the direct boot kernel, all it does is put you in recovery. I personally don't use it, I've never had good luck with it. Just look through the forums and read about how to install safe recoveries, such as cwm, twrp, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awesomepie87:
No, no data at all. In the settings it says that the mobile network state is disconnected, and the network type is "1X". Which is the metro version of 2G. But still no data at all. Can't even connect to the internet without wifi. This is really bothering me, I have wifi at home. But when I go out I won't have wifi to depend on.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Also I did a factory reset and installed another ROM to see if it was liquid smooth but the same thing happens. Network state is 1X, and I can't use data. Also no 3G widgets from the play store worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
OK, so you have the epic 4g touch right? Does metro pcs offer that phone, or did you have to get it flashed to that carrier?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awesomepie87:
I have it flashed to Metro.

Seems like I'm not getting data on any AOSP based ROM. I have tried Liquid smooth, carbon, cm10, and slim bean. This makes no sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Sounds like you need to flash stock, stock based, or whatever ROM you had working in the beginning. Other than that, since you flashed to another carrier, what youre asking is a little beyond my experience level. Not exactly sure what's going on with your setup since I'm not there. Keep searching/reading/googling, and I'm sure you will find an answer. Good luck!

My second flash went prefect as I followed the instructions and tips provided by you guys to the tee:highfive:

I got the opportunity to sit down and go through CM10.1 4.2.2 WFTN and think it's a pretty good ROM. I think I will hang-on to it for a while before I consider flashing any other ROM. I want to try tweaking what I have now. . .

So is it pretty common to flash different safe recovery kernels or are they just ROM specific? I remember flashing an Agat recovery before I went stock full GB restore cwm

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate:cowboy:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
[MENTION=5370957]Josey Wales[/MENTION], usually, kernels that are correct for a ROM come with them. Customs are for when you want to tweak/speed up your system. Its kind of a personal preference. I still think you should refer back to one of my earlier posts, but if you are interested, feel free to browse through the threads for your phone. Just make sure you know what you are doing before just jumping in. The devs that support their kernels will be more than happy to answer your questions and help with any problems(should they arise.) Also, you might want to take a look at some of the mods available, like scripts. But I would check out some tweaking apps first, just so you can be more familiar with the terminology and what exactly you are going to be modifying, before flashing any kernels or mods. Just look through the epic touch forums and I'm sure you will find something interesting. I personally use and love the lightning zap kernel, also run operation killjoy with it. I've been wanting to check out blasphemy kernel, but what I have is working great, so "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," right? Just be careful and have fun.

Hi Guys

I have a situation was wondering if you guys can guide me, am new to all this so please take easy on a Noob Newbie ￼

Am on Djembeys latest pre rooted rom which is using CSC XXBMG4

My stock rom uses the OPSMG2 CSC.

After successfully rooting I noticed I got error from Kies saying my firmware is not supported, after reading some possible answers it mentioned to use a CSC changer from play store which I did. At first it was saying I had OPS code which is right, but after doing a factory reset and clear partition cache and ran the prog again and now states BTU.

I noticed too after resetting that the default language went to English (england) instead of English (Australian) this caused a conflict with TTS and asked me to set the language to match what the default was for it to work.

My Question:

The CSC changer doesnt have OPS as an option to change too, I want my service providers CSC but cant find it as a seprate file. Sammobile gives a complete rom that am not sure how to extract.

How can I fix my CSC to the one recommended for my country?

Can odin extract only the CSC from the rom am using? Example use Djembeys pre rooted roms but dont use the CSC provided in it but use the CSC from official stock roms?

If so how do I do this?

And why after flashing back to stock rom with no roots does Kies still have problem with my firmware?

Thanking you all in advance

Cheers

Metro has been CDMA for years. With the recent merger with T-Mobile, they have started the conversion to GSM. It makes sense that they are starting by expanding the metro network via GSM to areas with no presence. It gives them a chance at a trial run.

Should be built into a rom I believe most if not all aosp warn you at 15/14% when the phone auto shuts off it does that to protect battery. If you were to drain the li-ion battery to zero it would not hold a charge again.

Problem with CM 10.1 9-01 Nightly and TWRP

Hi,

Since I installed the 9/01 nightly of CyanogenMod, I can't reinstall TWRP.

I enter CWM recovery and flash it, and it says that it installed but when I reboot recovery CWM is still there. If I flash back to the 8/27 nightly, TWRP installs just fine.

Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Any particular reason why you prefer TWRP over CWM? And did you check md5 on your recovery kernel? If it's not flashing it might be a bad download. And have you tried flashing through Odin?

I've gotten to like TWRP overall, mostly the interface. Haven't checked the md5 but the recovery installs perfectly using the previous version of the nightly.

I've only seen TWRP for this device in the Original Development forum and those are all .zip files. I've used Odin some but I thought they needed to be .tar files for that.
