OK - I tried this and as soon as I press the last # a screen pops up and says to enter my MSL - which I happen to have thanks to bilg's link to tdunham's MSL fix -so I enter my MSL and tap "OK" and absolutely nothing happens - it just sits there -grrrrr.......lol - wonder why it didn't work for me :( gonna try illinipo's idea now and see what that nets me - if that's a no go - gonna have to call VM - probly could have it solved if I would of called already - lol -

Very nice, thank you! How do I uninstall dsp manager if it's a system app?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] illinipo:
I did some googling after I posted, and basically VM has their device MSLs on lockdown :( Pretty much nobody has been able to get their MSL from a CSR. I don't think the Ting procedure is any different from what you already did. You might be in for a loss of unlimited everything...

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

If you are rooted, this is as easy as booting into recovery, adb shell, mount /system, cd /system/app, mv DSPManager.apk DSPManager.apk.bak

Or move it to the sdcard to free up some space on the system partition. Like I said I'm coming from a phone with 700MB of total memory, so I just got done moving 75MB of system apps off that partition earlier today.

Hey guys what I wanna fix my friends Google playstore and you guys already gave me suggestions on the fix which didn't work..except for data reset... I haven't tried that I don't wanna erase his stuff.. But I might have to because not only will the play store work but downloading from the web doesn't work either.... My only solution would be to hook em up to my laptop and Odin flash a stock non rooted ROM boost mobile version...but I wanna know if it'll work instead of messing his whole setup...what could be causing his problem? BTW he is Dominican so its very hard for him to understand what I say in tec talk if you catch my drift..

Try flashing a gapps package...if he's not rooted and is on this device.. Use framaroot to obtain root...use mobile Odin to flash custom kernel appropriate for his current ROM..flash gapps for the android version he is on from the new custom recovery...

Before that...try wiping cache and dalvik in the new recovery you put on...wipe the data and cache for Google play and Google services first..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] illinipo:
Ting pricing is in tiered buckets, not unlimited, so if you use more than 500MB of data a month or 1000 texts, it will get expensive. It is just another Sprint MVNO, so don't expect an improvement in data coverage. Ting does roam onto the Verizon voice/text network, though, so if you travel a lot it could come in handy.

If you do decide to switch, I can get you a referral link for $25 off (and I get $25 bill credit...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
oh - I see - Ting is a carrier - I was thinking something totally different - im on VM and it's 35 a month for 300 minutes and unlimited everything else -

While yes its always preferred to update prl/profile after a modem flash...I have flashed and not did it because I'm on a cm/aosp/aokp ROM..and still had data...

Can some one point to me where to update prl on cm build
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
There are 2 ways "update prl on CM" although one of them isn't technically on cm and the other isn't technically an update.

Option 1: use the el29 directboot kernel in conjunction with the el29 tempboot ROM. Google "teamepiccm temporary stock ROM" without the quotes, it should have all the info you need.

Option 2: enable CP mode, USB debugging, and make sure you have your MSL. USB debugging is in development options, and [MENTION=1042140]tdunham[/MENTION] has guides for CP mode and getting your MSL.

Once you have these all set up, download the prl file you want on your device and flash it with qpst. There is a guide in general for how to do this.

Is there a way to put widgets behind apps? I want go for the 'card-style' look of google now and such and put white rectangles behind clusters of apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
That depends entirely on your launcher - I know nova can do it, and I assume trebuchet can as well, not sure about tw launcher. Go into your launcher settings and there should be an option (usually under advanced settings or similar) called Allow Widget Overlap and Overlap When Placing.

The xda app doesn't like when I try to post pics, so I'll edit with a screenshot when I'm at my laptop.

Hello,

I'm on the e4gt. I'm running 4.2.2 and for whatever reason I am having a lot of MMS failed to send errors. I figure it may be a good idea to reflash my modem on my phone. Is this correct?

If so, where can I find the proper modem I need to flash and how would I go about doing it? When I looked around I saw that mobile Odin was not a good idea for flashing modems. I'm not certain if this is true. Thanks for any and all help/advice.

J
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
What rom are you running? If you're on 4.2.2, chances are you're on AOSP, which means you need to have an ICS modem. And you are correct, mobile Odin won't flash modems on this phone. If you're on AOSP, try flashing FL24 modem through cwm it PC Odin, and you may have to also update your prl and profile by flashing to jb tw, depending on what rom you're running. And it may also be an apn issue. What is the rom and what carrier do you have, and we'll be able to help you better.

I usually use PACd2tmo20131017 or similar. Sometimes I'll nandroid a fresh flash, in which case I'll add NA to the end (no apps).

But you are fine with whatever method you use as long as there are no spaces. That can cause issues when restoring.

Thank you! Dude
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I'm not familiar with DU, but from reading around, some have had issues with varying things. Try flashing FL24 modem first. Then if that doesn't help, you may have to flash back to stock and update your prl and profile. There are tons of tuts on how to do that. And DU is Sprint, and you have Sprint, so your apns should be good, but check anyway, through your voice dialer.

Transfering files

Hi, I just got a S2 last night and I finally figured out how to get rooted. My question is though, why can't I transfer files via USB like my old NS4G? Why does it show the phone as "Connected as a media device" to my computer?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You still should be able to transfer files. Phone will show as SPH-D710 in my computer. You can turn on usb debugging in development options and then your sd card will show as a storage device in my computer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bettzysdaddy:
Well, I was on rooted FF18 and my phone was still showing up on my computer as a media device, even with usb debugging. I ended up just Odining back to EL29 and then flashing ParanoindAndroid to get to Jelly Bean and get stuff working again. Idk why they made this phone so customizing unfriendly. But now that I'm on JB, I'm no longer regretting my purchase and now get to enjoy the same features my NS4G when I move stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MattMatt0240:
1: because I purchased pro a while back and would like to get more use out of it. 2: just to check out a different ROM or, say leave a TW in a slot to do prl updates while I go through the list of modems.

what should i do??

if anyone could help please do. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II 4G on virgin mobile on black friday and attempted to root it earlier today and failed. It came stock with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 and the build# had a j in it but i dont recall what it was.

I got the yellow triangle after getting clockworkmod on it and it couldnt import superuser for whatever reason. so i flashed FF18 by mistake and saw that it was for sprint after the boot (dumb mistake) so I have been scouring XDA for a stock VM rom so i can just start over now but can't seem to find it, im not even sure if it's out yet :(

and for some reason now its not booting it goes to a crash mode and does a dump.

i saw sextapes post in this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833166&page=60 and gave me a little hope but ive just had a very difficult time finding out how i can fix this.

with the ff18 rom i was able to make and place calls send and recieve txts but not send or recieve mms so i got into the apn and changed the mms settings from sprint back to vm and now its not booting. i was hoping someone was in a similar situation or could maybe tell me if there is a stock vm rom out yet.

New Question (from a newbie...)

I have had a Sprint E4G for about a year, without any significant issues. I am still running Gingerbread EL29 because of all of the nightmarish stories that I have seen posted here and on the Sprint forums regarding battery life (and other bugs) since ICS was pushed OTA in July.

My question is, now that I think I am ready to take the plunge to ICS, is there an OTA path to "catch up" from EL29 to FI27? Alternatively, can I skip the OTA path and use Kies (or something else) to upgrade directly to FI27? I have read many of the FAQ's but I'm confused as to whether I need to upgrade through each of the release versions incrementally (starting with FF18) or whether I can just "skip" to the latest version.

I should add that if I can avoid it, I am not interested in rooting at this time.

I suppose I could also go to a Sprint store, but then I would have to try to convince the techs that it was a good idea for me to have ignored all of the "Automatic Update" reminders I've been getting for the last 5 months...

Many thanks for any advice,

TL;DR version:

My build number ends in FJ12, I'm not sure how to root this thing. The phone is from Virgin Mobile, I don't want to flash to any other carrier.

Wall of text version:

Hi, I'm a helpless noob. Yesterday I bought a new phone, I'm pretty sure it's an Epic 4G Touch, but the box just said it was a Samsung Galaxy S2, are they the same thing?

The model number in about phone is SPH-D710VMUB, and a lot of the posts I'm seeing have people using SPH-D710 referring to the Epic 4G so I think that's what I have and the VMUB part has something to do with it being a Virgin Mobile phone.

Are there instructions on how to root this phone somewhere here on the forum? I read the one click root thread, where there were a bunch of four digit codes listed, that I think are referring to the last four digits of the build number, but I'm not finding anything for "if your build ends in FJ12, run this"

My full build number is:

IMM76I.FJ12

My kernel version is:

3.0.15-1135978

SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 12 16:57:04 KST 2012

I've only rooted one Android phone before, so these questions might be completely stupid because the other phone I rooted was rootable by just typing some codes into the dialpad.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction of getting root, and using Virgin Mobile as my service provider?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Only answer i would provide at this time it's to wait for the stock kernel to have as a backup before going off to rooting. You can look in the general locations but i believe Garwynn was trying to get a hold of the stock pieces.

You can root the sprint way but going back to stock might prove a challenge at this point.

But i could be mistaken since i don't have VM.

Hello,

I am running king kang and am very happy with it, except for a few things:

Can't send mms pictures (is this a known bug?)

Gps seems to be a bit off and gets lost more often (might one of the tweaks in the tweaks and fixes topic fix this?).

I also thought I should take a chance at trying different modems. Does anyone know how to check what modem I am currently on?

Also if you flash a new modem do you need to update prl?

Lastly, what is a good method for checking to see if the modem has made any improvements?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Not sure about MMS. Try an app like handscent for testing.

Your baseband version is the modem version. It is where you see what ROM version you are on under settings. Jb tweaks are advertised to help with gps so flash and test. Yes a profile prl update is necessary for best data performance. And there is no scientific way to test improvent with different modems. Flash and test speeds etc..
