ok got it - thank you - will buy it tomorrow - looks like the way to go for sure - and ill look into rom toolbox too - btw....so far I am really liking this phone - its much better than I expected - scored 4140 on quadrant stock - my toshiba thrive o/c'ed to 1.472 only scores 3200 at best - lol - anyone using PimpMyRom on this phone ?

Highly recommend buying mobile odin. Huge time saver if you flash alot of stuff. And yeah, definitely check out RTP. I think you'll find it very handy. And I think I recall Shadow_God of Jellyverse fame toying around with pimp my rom. Shoot him a message on jellyverse off topic and pick his brain.

If I have a backup of a TW GB27 ROM...made on agats recovery and am currently on a aosp ROM with cwm..what is the easiest way to restore without having to re flash the entire ROM then restore?

Can I

Mobile Odin EL29

In recovery flash agat zip that the backup was made on

Advanced options reboot recovery then will I be in the agat recovery that I can restore with?

I know I need to flash the modem but does that work?

Thanks in advance

Loving JV, but Want to Try Blu Kuban This Weekend...

Hello, All, ,

Like a tempted idiot, I can't help but want to try Blu Kuban, as it looks as if some changes are coming. I'll likely be coming back to JV (can you beat the flawless experience?), but I suppose a fickle nature and temptation to try something new is pretty strong.

Wanting to get it right before I flash, here's my plan,

1) As I am already on Garwynn GB27 latest recovery (v0.5), boot into recovery, I've already done a nand, so no need to do again,

2) Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache,

3) Flash downloaded zip,

4) Reboot, finish step 2 from instructions

I'm assuming that I do not need to run TD's format all, since I'm already on a jellybean ROM, and I'm hoping that the deodox to odexed difference will not be an issue. If I want to go back to JV, just follow the above.

Please poke holes or fill gaps. Being a noob is not fun when coupled with the desire to tinker.

And thanks for all you've done for me and others.

Best,

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
You will need to wipe data along with cache. Also if your nand is of jv rom then just restore it.

Q : is it possible to flash my phone (Epic 4G Touch) to Local/International Version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] micmars:
Thanks for the Guidance...

I appreciate the input; definitely an omission on my part.

Another question, if you don't mind. If updates are coming this weekend to BK/GB27 (minor fixes/tweaks is my understanding), would it set me back in any way to go ahead and flash the latest version now, and then flash the forthcoming updates as opposed to having the first flash be the updated version? To me it seems a net-neutral choice.

Thanks for both your guidance and this thread!

Have a great day!

Best,

Mike

Never, ever flash a different phone model rom/kernel/modem to your E4GT.

Not only will it not boot, but you run the risk of bricking the phone rendering it completely unusable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
It wouldn't set you back. You'll be a few days into BK when the update comes, so you'll have the interface down. BK is a great ROM, at least the ones I've tried are. Haven't flashed jb version yet, but I'm sure it's awesome. Ruje is an amazing dev. You'll just have to flash over the BK you flash now, wipe cache/dalvik and dirty flash the updated bk over the bk you flash now. Should be fine. And if you're completely changing roms, I'd suggest jb format all. Good habit to get into. Have fun.

Ok guys - i really want to start messing around with some roms or kernels - i am rooted of course - Virgin Mobile SG2 model # SPH-D710VMUB build GB 28 - my concern now is this : i dont, or havent found, any way to do a backup before i start flashing stuff - can someone please point me to where i need to go to put a custom recovery on here so i can do a nandroid before i start messing around - i have searched and i think agats recovery is my only choice - i havent found any CWM or TWRP for my phone - Once again, thank you for all and any help !

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Agat comes with cwm..that's what it's based off :). Flash his latest recovery (gb28 or gb27 will work), do your backup, wipe everything(jb format all), then flash rom. Just follow the dev's OP and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
Thank you jdsingle - you answered me over in the agat recovery thread too - lol - my only concern is i dont see a GB28 recovery, only GB27 - i dont know why it concerns me cuz as far as i can tell it will work fine on my build - i just dont want to do something i cant recover from ya know ? Especially since i dont have any kind of backup to fall back on(redundant-lol) - but it looks like the agats GB27 kernel has everyrhing i want - cwm - ability to o/c - some init tweaks and so on - i just want to be sure - i feel like such a noob - and im really not, i swear !:o

It'll work. I'm on Boost GC01 and use Agat's gb27. It's fine. Trust me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
JV is an awesome rom. One of the best out right now. If you flash that, or even stay on the gb28 you're on now, agat's gb27 will work for o/c, mods, tweaks, backup, restore, etc

Sent from my Aoikazed by Pio Thrive
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
No, you don't need to tick anything except wipe cache, and since you are going from ics to jb, then you will want to wipe data as well. Just make sure as you start using MO more that you uncheck the wipe data..noob move we've all done! Good luck

Sorry, got you confused with someone else. No that's fine. Flash the tar using MO, just check wipe cache in mo, not data. Then if you move to jv, use jb format all from cwm(follow his post) and all will be well. And you don't have to stick to TW Roms..just read the e4gt rom ops to see what kernels work wit cm, aosp, etc. good luck!

Awesome! Have fun with it. You should be able to dirty flash jv and not lose your data. But you have a backup so doesn't matter. If you flash jv you will lose custom kernel, but just reflash after you get jv set up and oc, tweak, mod, to your hearts content
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
Thank you for that - i was gonna ask about the kernel - lol - its like you read my mind - but what about the JB modems ? There is a lot of stuff listed to flash along with the rom - but since im on JB all ready i just need to flash the rom and nothing else correct ?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
If you have a jb modem already and getting 3g, 4g, wifi, etc, fine stick with that. Fleshing roms doesn't change modems, and you can't flash modems using MO. Just use cwm if you want to try different jb modems, but no, it's not needed if you're up on data now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] remotehugger:
perfect explanation - thank you - so I can flash rom's with MO ? I figured id have to use agats recovery (which plays just like CWM) to do roms - man, I am really surprised how different phones are from tablets - lol -

No, you can't flash zip files with mobile Odin. To flash new roms you want to be in cwm, you can get there by going into recovery (volume up and power)

There is a free app called quick boot that will get you there also and save the wear and tear on your buttons;):beer:

JV and BK Are Awesome and Different...

Hi, jdsingle76:

BK is really nice, and it fits a certain style. I personally am enjoying it, and will give it some time. Given its recent release date, I am pretty amazed at how stable it is and well-executed it is. SG's ROM is equally stunning, but they are just different. A minor niggle I have is the system sounds seem disabled throughout enough of the system that things like third-party alarm apps don't function. I originally coulld hear the screen unlock and lock when I first flashed, but now only unlock. I may reflash, since I would hate to call something a bug if it is by design (bare ROM) or user error. Oh, the Google voicemail was an interesting jaunt, as well. It is nice not being tethered to Sprint's visual voicemail, but then you get this message-in-a-call feature that has to be turned off from your Gmail account. Once I figured that out, I really like it.

As to Nashville, I spent my college and grad school years there (it has been quite a while), and still love the city immensely. I get back there every few years, as I have many good friends that never left.

Glad to hear you like it. It is a really great place.

Have a great weekend!

[If you have any ideas on the system sounds, please let me know (pitiful that I use this phone as an alarm clock).]

Edit: Caught this from OP: "Silent Camera/Boot Sound/Screen Clicks" and figured it may have something to do with the lack of alarm clock sounds. Sorry if this is just my mistake, but it'd be nice to have an alarm even with the silent screen clicks. Please let me know your thoughts (can't have both, or can have one or the other, etc.).

Edit: What can I say? I actually prefer voicemail, sound and don't like my calls getting routed through Google's servers. Both ROMs awesome, BTW.

Best regards,

Mike

Power shutter/shutter sound on CM10.1 WFTN May 13, 2013

I just flashed dastin1015's WFTN May 13, 2013 over the previous Apr. 25, 2013 release. I wiped cache and dalvik per the instructions and the upgrade went just fine. The camera, unfortunately, has now started playing a sound file when I take a picture. Toggling the power shutter setting has no effect. All previous versions of WFTN that I had been running (the most recent four prior versions) did not play a shutter sound. The sound is annoying, and I'd like to disable it again. I'd prefer not to remove or rename the file (which I have identified). I'd like the option to disable the sound to function as it did previously. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it that preferably don't involve wiping user data?
