Agreed and yes I'm a flashaholic most definitely. I wanted to get comfortable with it and look it over first. Also got it on my S3 which is what I will put the pro on first then my wife's E4GT. Once she gets used to the hole root thing I'm sure she will be a flashaholic also.

Not looking good...

Hi, jdsingle76:

Not looking good. Getting alternating blinking light/blank screen with Samsung GSII label. Doing this for about 3 minutes.

help, please!

Thank.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Probably an issue with flashing the recovery kernel so soon after, bad dl, who knows. You have bootloop, so not all is lost. Remove battery, reinsert, reboot to recovery. Wipe everything using jb format, then flash just the rom, let it boot, set it up, then after set up, flash the cwm kernel, tar version, using mobile odin. Let me know how that goes.

I'm In

I'm in. Did the above after I hit the submit key on my message, oddly doing exactly what you said whilst outside smoking, feeling rather a man of intense faith with a bit of Louis CK thrown in for good measure. When I saw the AGAT logo, it felt very nice. When I felt the vibration in the device as the ROM was settling in, after the blue Samsung logo sat pulsating, I knew I had something good happening. Immediately logged into my Gmail account, and went straight to the Play store. When I came back in here and saw your message in my inbox, I was amazed at the support of this community, glad that I've hit the tip jar over at SXTP Developers, and...oh, what the he##. This ROM is absolutely beautiful, smooth, fast, and I feel like a kid again. Now it's off to tinkering. What fun. Thanks so much, jdsingle76! Now, off to Titaneum Backup Pro, Mobile Odin Pro, Nova Prime (maybe), UCCW, Zooper Pro, Minimalist Text Pro, pairing bluetooth, messages, call history, etc. Serenity. Over the top? No! I have WiMax back. When Sprint makes good on their promise of blanketing the Tampa Bay Area with LTE, I may use one of my two upgrades this year on the SG4. In the interim, I'm sticking with this phone.

Again, many thanks.

Awesome man. Glad it worked out. Be sure to thank SG for that sexy a** rom. Keep looking, he and a few others in the E4GT community have some great mods and tweaks worth checking out as well. TD's AIO is very cool, as is SG's Sense theme, for starters. Have fun, glad you got it going. Enjoy!

How do I check the flash counter?

I need to take my phone in for a replacement. The hardware keys don't work at times. I already have the phone set to the factory rom. How do I check to make sure my flash counter is set to zero? I don't have anything on boot up that would indicate this. When flashing ROMS, I always used Mobile Odin.

This would be for the Samsung Epic 4G Touch D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Get triangle away and run it, then delete the app, and check root with root checker just to make sure you're unrooted, then delete that app. Should be g2g after that

wondering which ROM I should use

Is there anywhere I can find a comprehensive list of ROMs and info on them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
You'll have to look the the development sections.. And please don't ask for opinions. No one is you but you. No offense but those conversations are just filler..

And before anyone suggests a thread; several have been made, along with a wiki page. They start well but burn out. Besides, the dev threads, and discussion threads for them, should be the primary resource anyway.

My two cents. I'll wait for change.

Fair enough. I started in the dev threads but there are so many, I just didn't want to miss any options. I plan to look through the threads to get a good idea of each ROM, but was just wondering if there was a good place to start.

Thanks for the quick response
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:

JB ROM to JB ROM

Maybe I missed something, could someone point me in the right direction. I have 2 JB ROMs I want to switch between. I have installed and backed up both. After I backed up the ROMs I didn't know witch one was witch, so I restored the second one listed and it was the ROM I just installed. I rebooted to recovery and went to restore and resotred the first ROM listed, When it rebooted, my gallery would not open, I had no pulldown, some apps were not installed and I saw no way of getting into my settings. I end up having to reinstall the first ROM. After that I rebooted to recovery and restored the backup which put me back to where I was before I installed the second ROM. I have a back up of the second ROM. If I want to restore the second ROM, I know reboot to recovery. Do I wipe cache, delvik and data then restore or do I have to reinstall and then restore? If I have asked in the wrong thread, allow me to delete and please provide me with the correct thread. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Sounds to me like a bad backup. First, go into your folders and give your backup that works a name, just don't put any spaces. Since your second rom restores no problem, here's what I would do. The roms sometimes don't play nice when you dirty flash. Reboot to recovery, wipe everything using jb format all, then reboot back into recovery, and try the first rom restore again. If that doesn't help, you'll have to reinstall the first rom from scratch. Once you have it where you want it, back it up. But everytime before I do anything in recovery, restore, mods, tweaks, etc, except backup, I wipe cache and dalvik. Good habit to get into. Good luck!

loss of pictures and ringtones...

Hello all,

Spent a lot of time on here, but done very little posting. Had an AWFUL meltdown yesterday

after over a year of happy flashing on my S2. Hardbricked the phone after a failed in Rom update

followed by a failed Odin. So Sprint handed me a new phone, and after some weirdness, managed

to restore the ROM I was using and restored the data using the Nandroid backup I'd made. Everything

is smooth now EXCEPT my ringtones and all my photos are gone. Gallery still seems to think they

are there, as there are hundreds of blank pictures in the folders they WERE in before the meltdown.

The same is true with ringtones. The phone thinks they are there....but they don't play when selected.

Am I SOL? Was it just a bad Nandroid? Did I misunderstand about what a Nandroid is supposed to do?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for your time all....this forum is absolutely invaluable.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It is probably installed as a system process. You may be able to find it and freeze/remove it with something like Titanium Backup but I would ask in the Milestone rom thread before doing so if anyone knows anything about it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thumper333:
Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Freezing a system process can cause problems too. Make sure you backup first if possible before hand. ;)

Did a backup and froze the process, no issues so far. I looked at the details of this thing and it's listed as teamhacksung.apk never heard of this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cerj:
Definitely leave it frozen for a few days at least before uninstalling. No harm in waiting, but possible if ya dont. You may go to use an app and realize the app you uninstalled was needed for that one to work. I uninstalled an app too soon and had to flash the rom I was running again, and i just got it how I wanted. Talk about being a lil bummed

What is an "Inverted App"?

Just as the title says, What is an "Inverted App"?

I've seen this a lot in threads lately and wanted to know what difference is?

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

After installing a .zip mod to a custom ROM, can you uninstall it or do you have to re-flash the ROM to clear the changes?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Inverted apps - light text/dark background versus dark text/light background. (I might be backwards but you get the idea)

And yes, unless a mod to flash back to original settings is made, if you flash a mod, you'd have to flash the ROM to go back the way it was. But usually, if you ask nicely, the mod creator will make a reverse mod.

(and fyi, tapatalk doesn't show post titles so not everyone will see it)

So I was trying to do a recovery to a backup I had done soon after I rooted my phone initially, but it didn't work. I wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then I chose the backup I did, but it says MD5 mismatch. I need to take my phone to Sprint to get a new battery and I know that they won't do it if they see I'm rooted.

Some widgets work with an s3 launcher port, some didn't. Touched by an s3 and one other (forgot the name) could pull this off. Check the dev section then check the themes and apps section to see if the widget may have been made to work.

Seem to Have Lost Agat's Recovery After Updating PRL...

Hi, jdsingle76:

I hope your Saturday is going well, but I seem to have lost Agat's recovery. I've been running Jellyversse for a few days now and loving it! Unfortunately, when I reboot to recovery, I seem to be back to the original stock recovery mode, and Agat's recovery appears to be wiped away. Don't know for certain, but it sure looks that way. Do you know how this could have happeneed? After running Jellyverse, I figured that It would be safe to do the PRL and Profile. Any thoughts? Mine are to simply load Agat's recovery again. Please let me know. It may be wishful thinking, but I hope that I can do this without having to perform a factory reset.

Thanks!

That's because when you flashed JV, it loaded stock kernel. If you want custom kernel, just download the tar and flash it with mobile Odin. Easy cheesy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
I just reflashed the tar file using Mobile Odin Pro, and have custom recovery back. All is well. Wonder if that happened because I did the prl and profile updates.

Small Item Driving Me Crazy

Hi, jdsingle76:

If I haven't driven you nuts with questions, I do have another question. I, like an idiot, installed TD's 3.3.1 upgrade and then noticed that SG put it on the JV thread. So what is bugging me? I have a white 4GLTE icon instead of the cool blue WiMax icon. All else is awesome. Any quick fixes, or full re-install as I suspect.

Thanks in advance.

Help to upgrade from GB to ICS

Noob asking for help.

Somehow i did rooted and installed EL29 custom ROM an year ago and would like to install ICS now.

What i have " EL29+CWM-Rogue" & SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe

i am thinking of installing CWM9 beta 2 but somehere i read that Rogue CWM is not good to install CWM9.

qbking video ("How to Install the CyanogenMod 9 Alpha ICS Rom on the Samsung Epic 4G Touch") asking to install "El26 kernel tar" to install CWM9 - IS IT OK TO FLASH EL29 KERNEL WHILE I AM ALREADY ON EL29 ???"

Are there any easier way/ROM for me to do with my current setup???.

Any Help Greatly appreciated. I am so desperate to do it ( been thinkign abiout it long time), please Help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Yes it is fine to flash the el26 cwm. Qbking recommends that to flash CM9(not CWM9 like you keep putting:) because it's a safe kernel. Flash the safe kernel, wipe everything, flash the cm9, and you should be good to go! Enjoy

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVObastard:
Hello again, my wife has been enjoying the "new" (rooted) phone very much thanks to the very helpful people here. I am curious about other custom ROMs now and wonder if I can flash her phone directly to another custom ROM. I read one thread where the DEV said to flash FL24 first then his ROM, and I have seen others that don't say that. Does that mean it is safe to flash directly to that ROM? Here is what the phone has now:

Baseband version: GB27

build no. Jellyverse_3.0.GB27

Software vers. GB27

Agat's recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
May be that Rom dev knows that there may be some issue when flashing his ics fl24 Rom from jellybean gb27. I haven't had to do that and have gone back and forth from ics and jb so it depends on a Rom.

===================
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
One word of advice as you delve into the world of flashing, whether it be this phone or any other, read the dev's OP and follow his installation instructions to the letter when installing his ROMs. It will save you a whole world of headaches in the long run. Devs spend hours testing builds before they post them for public use, both themselves and sending them out to other folks for beta testing. There must be some issue that he experienced(Like Blues said) where you need to flash FL24 first. You could always do a backup, then just flash to it, and worst comes to worst, you're stuck in bootloop and need to do a restore. As long as it's an E4GT Rom you're flashing to, give it a shot. Or just do the above, to be safe, and follow the dev's instructions. Either way, good luck, and enjoy! :)

Quick question

If I am on Jellyverse V3 and make a nandroid on kernel 5.0 with agats rec..then want to switch to Aosp. I know I need diff modem and wipe all safe rec then flash.

My question is once I do that if I want to restore my nandroid can I boot into rec which will prob be a version of cwm..then flash the 5.0 zip with agats..then under advanced options select reboot recovery will I boot back to cwm or into the agats rec on the zip I flashed? And if I boot back to agats I can restore backup from there. ..correct?

Also I saw you told someone to name the backup..every time i have renamed one it can never find it? What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
What I have found is that whatever cwm you use to do a nandroid is the same one you want to do the restore with. So if you do a backup using 5.0 with agats, before you try to restore that, just Mobile Odin that kernel again, reboot into recovery, and restore. However, to answer your question, you want to do that same thing, only from recovery. If you flash a kernel in recovery, and then reboot into recovery using advanced options, you will then be on your newly flashed kernel. You're essentiallly doing the same thing either way, your way just has an extra step. And the way that I rename my backups is with es root explorer. I go to my sd card, long press the name of the backup, and rename it. Works everytime for me. Not sure if maybe you're moving them out of the clockworkmod/backup folder, or what, but just find the backup in the CWM folder, and rename it, don't move it, or anything like that, and when you go to recovery, when you hit restore, it should show up as the new name. If not, just boot back up, and do a search for it, see where it went :) Good luck, hope that helped.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
Thanks the reason i ask about doing jt in recovery is if I'm on an aosp rom and mobile odin garwyns 5.0 with agats that will be a prob right? So if I flash agat zip in rec then reboot rec in advanced options I would be back on the kernel I made a backup then I could restore it right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
ok i tried to odin to gb27 rooted restore to get everything back to normal, after odin was done , it was doing a factory reset and it failed, it said something like "error can not mount or read E:\ [insert every important partition here] no such file or directory" and it won't boot, though i can still go to stock recovery and download mode. one person suggested that i flash a different kernel and that would fix it, will that work or is there another fix or is there no fix at all:confused:

Edit: could i try flashing the EL29 direct boot kernel so i can flash a ROM? its just an idea....

Edit: tried the above, didnt work, and i gotten the yellow triangle... im screwed....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
After Odin did it not boot on its own? That should've reset for you..can you reboot to dl mode and re odin again?

Long as odin is an option should be ok. Yellow triangle jusy means you're not on stock kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
its no use... i've tried the root restore like 3 times [even the stock restore] and even others and even a no data it still fails to read, write, or mount all the system partitions when doing a factory reset, if all else fails, i guess i have to do a jtag repair.

btw is there any way if i can get my data off my internal storage?

and yes i can still go into Odin

Edit: flashed an alpha PA rom to the phone i think that screwed up my system partitions :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Yeah flashing a recovery and rebooting to recovery in advanced settings will make the phone to boot in the recovery you just flashed.

Did you check the md5 for the odin one click .exe file? Also did you try to odin full EL29 Stock rom with the one click?

Can you boot to recovery? If yes, you can use adb to get the files off of storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
[MENTION=4652861]BluesRulez[/MENTION]

i didn't check the md5s of the one clicks, i'll do that and i'll try to odin to EL29

though right now i can only go into stock recovery and Odin mode

Edit: the MD5 of the one-clicks do match
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
[MENTION=4652861]BluesRulez[/MENTION]

Odin to EL29 with no avail, it still fails during the factory reset, do you have any ideas, because i tried everything i could think of, i might have to go to the last resort:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
I know I'm late to the party on the back and forth conversion on JB to ICS and back.

Some think that it's proper to repartition correctly since there is the change between the two. And its not a bad idea to take that step. Better safe than sorry, right?
