I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think root is the issue. I don't believe the jb leaks have all of the dialer codes and menus required, at least not yet. You should be fine getting the cricket flash from any other non-aosp, pre-jb tw-based ROM.

And since you never lose root, Mobile Odin=no PC needed on your part :thumbup:

Let me know if you get stuck with 3g data, MMS or YouTube after you're flashed to cricket ;)

im kinda slo so i need the dummies version, how do you odin the kernel and recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Kernel and recovery is one file.

Your phone has to be in download mode and desktop Odin has to be running on PC before you connect phone to PC. Once connected you will see com:xx in Odin.

Load the .tar file in PDA slot in desktop Odin. And hit start.

No service, unable to update prl or profile

I'm having some trouble with the leaked FK23 stock rom. I did the restore and once my phone rebooted I keep receiving the data roaming notifications. I have tried updating my prl and profile but whenever I try updating I receive an "unknown error". I have also tried re-flashing the FK23 modem and allowing data roaming but I STILL can not get a signal or make calls or access the internet. I also tried restoring back to older official stock rooted roms such as the FF18 ICS and EL29 GB but was unable to get service or update then. Now I'm back to the leaked FK23 JB and thought to try using the terminal to get my MSL and that's not even working :mad: I'm at a loss here, can anyone please help?

Thank you for answering, especially since you are the only one to try to answer so far. That said...

Yikes. Isn't Lucky Patcher an app for bypassing license verification in order to get paid apps to work without paying the developers? I don't think that's cool, and can't endorse using something like that. App developers put in *so* much work... you know? I'm not sure how using that app would resolve the storage error, but I also don't want to get into using Lucky Patcher.

What lucky patcher (mainly) does is remove the ads from the free apps (see screenshot below). But you dont have to use it. Just install luck patcher, remove fixes & backups, and uninstall lucky patcher once done. This should work.

BUG FREE Costum Revovery with Kobridge GA10 Jelly for Samsung Epic 4g Touch

Does anyone know of a custom recovery for Kobridge GA10 Rom that does not affect your applications. You see I flashed AGAT_GA10_repack.tar as a custom recovery, it worked and booted up fine with the Kobridge GA10 Deodex rom, however I noticed that I couldn't download particular apps such as games from the market, in addition certain apps would show up with an SD Card image rather than the normal icon. When I tried downloading certain apps in the market it showed up as [error couldn't install on USB storage or SD card]. So I have tried all of the following such as clear cache and data on both Download manager and Google Play Store App and nothing seemed to changed. I also tried unmounting the SD card, but that didn't work so I ended up re-installing the Kobridge rom again (rooted) and noticed that everything is working flawlessly now, however now I'm stuck where I can no longer do a nandroid backup because I do not have custom recovery... Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. Thank you,

sincerely your fellowrocker.

Wild for the night 10.1 01/31 update?

I downloaded CM 10.1 on 01/26 and have been stopping by teh thread every couple days to check for updates. It looks like there is a new version (as of today) and I just realized I have no idea what the process is to update, and not sure if I even need to. The description in the log is that it modified the "upstream" - a term I've not seen before.

Question 1: What is the process to 'update' an original mod? (my hunch is that you just repeat all the same steps, but if I don't need to wipe all my data that would be pretty awesome.

Question 2: Do I even need to update to this version?

Thanks for the help!!:confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
No data wipe unless mentioned.

Upstream changes are changes in CM 10.1 code which are merged into the ROM by developer. May be someone can explain in detail.

I understand, but the whole point of my post was just to see if I can follow those 3 videos without reading or figuring out additional steps.

The latest official update to FI27 really messed up my phone. Hoping CyanogenMod will work better.

EP4GT, CM10, No root access?

Recently I bought a Sprint Galaxy S2 from an individual for $100. I suspect it had been rooted because it would let me uninstall Sprint bloatware. :highfive:

Last night I upgraded it to 4.1.2 using Odin and what I thought was CM10. I also went through the steps found at XDA for upgrading the kernel and modem.

I used the following files:

CODE_SPH-D710.FK23_549262_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Kernel- SPH-D710_FK23_549262_Kernel.tar.md5

Modem- SPH-D710_FK23_549262_Modem.tar.md5

Here's what I'm looking at right now: Of course, SPH-D710

Baseband: S: D710.10 S.FK23

Kernel: 3.0.31-549262 se.infra@SEP-108 #3, SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 23 23:21:58, KST 2012

Build: JZO54K.SPH-D710.FK23

When I attempt ES Task Manager "Root Enhancement" it tells me "It can not get root access on your phone."

I downloaded SuperUser basic but apparently have no idea how to use it. :confused:

Also I now have Sprint bloatware again that I can't uninstall.

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys. Appreciate your work.

Not only that, but the last two steps were redundant. You already had the Tar (which includes all pieces then you flashed the modem and kernel separately)

Not sure where you got confused but the CM10 thread is pretty clear on how to get there. But I have to remind myself that what may be clear to me, may not be clear to others. Not a jab, just a fact when someone is looking at it the first time.

I'll give this a try. I didn't have CM10 installed before... not that I'm aware of. I attempted to install it several times and it continued to fail. Instead it rebooted to ... something other than what I had when I bought the phone, more generic looking. That's how I ended up with FK23, thinking it was someone else's CM10 upload and probably safer.

Thank you for your time and reply.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

MoHo, if the flash of the kernel and modem were redundant.... then that's where my confusion came in. The links were listed with the CODE link. So I took it to mean flash the code, then the kernel, then the modem.

However, that's with the FK23 files.

The CM10 in question didn't come from XDA. I found it on Android Jinn here: androidjinn. com/cm10-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-rom-for-epic-4g-d710installation-guide.html/2

I rebooted into recovery and followed the step, but it wouldn't complete install. It would begin, then display the android laying down with his chest open and a red warning triangle.

From there I found myself on XDA with the FK23 and on to where we are now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:

I did what it said and I get the yellow triangle. But when I went back to ES Task Manager it still says it can't get root access.

I'm confused but trudging on. Following MoHo's link, I'm currently in the midst of updating to CM10. I'm watching the splash screen now.

That looks more like it when I ran CM on my HTC Hero.

Wish me luck. Thanks for your time... and to you MoHo. Much obliged. :good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Until this device is on the Official support list, we'll stay at Beta label. But they are good enough for a daily driver.

The yellow triangle will happen with flashing a custom kernel/recovery with Odin. Using Mobile Odin to flash will not cause that to trigger. You can use Triangle Away after you obtain root to reset the binary flash counter (that's what triggers the Triangle).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Do you have access to a pc to use an Odin one click? If so, just grab the GA10 One Click.

Make a nandroid, save all of your items from the internal storage (the restore version will wipe it) and give it a shot.

You can try the No Data first but if you have issues I'd suggest the restore.

If you don't have a pc to do it with, you can get there with Mobile Odin, just a few more steps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] danidiva:
Grrrrr, okay, i'm following the directions on the list in the link and I can't figure out what I'm doing. I'm getting lost right around here:

Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).

First of all, the ZArchiver it links me to is an .apk, and.. basically i'm just getting really really lost. I also can't make a nandroid backup bc when I go to recovery (vol+ / power) the option isn't there. i can reboot, apply updates, wipe data, wipe cache, and "test redbend fota[FS]" . but nothing says make a backup? :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You do not need to worry about android instructions as you have a PC. Just download the .exe file.

Also to make a nandroid backup you need a custom recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] danidiva:
so how do I download a custom recovery to do that? And then once I've made the backup, what do i do with the .exe file? I have Odin, but it doesn't do the Yellow/White thing?

No Go

MoHo... I appreciate your time earlier. Unfortunately this is turning out to be a bust for me, a comedy of errors. Where I was earlier only had partial functionality. My gmail app worked. But other net connected apps wouldn't; Facebook, web browser.... open blank screen and close after about thirty seconds. However; on the uptick, ES Task Manager and SuperUser finally approved root access and allowed me to toss the Sprint bloat.

So I figured I'd make the move to a CM10 attempt again. This time using links found here: http://epic4gtouchroot**DOT**com/epic-4g-touch-roms/cm10-1-rom-for-epic-4g-touch-android-4-2-1/

Same fail. I go into recovery, begin install from SD Card, then the dead Android appeared. So I reloaded back to where I was moments before. So far I've seemed to find the better luck with the TAR files. I just keep finding CM10 in zip.

Should I flash the kernel first instead of the ROM?

Even CWM crashes on me if I use it to tap "Reboot into Recovery." All else tells me to install CWM Recovery first, which I thought I had done when it asked me to verify my model, then said "Flashing... 100%."

In the stock recovery I find no flash for CWM nor Odin. LOL ... I can't help but wonder if I'm confusing the system itself; like, are these leaving artifacts that may be conflicting?

I've gone from 4.1.2 back to 4.0.4, ha!

I don't recall it being this difficult when I tricked out my Hero, and that was my first root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
It should be same but mobile Odin won't work. So use desktop Odin instead. You will get yellow triangle on boot.
