[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
I wouldn't worry about that yet. Just find a rooting method that works for you. Search the forums for 'framaroot,' that might help you. But check out some ROMs and mods and get a little more acquainted with your phone. That's what I would do. But answering you directly...I love lightning zap kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Used Framaroot and now have root. That was really easy haha thank you everyone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MofroShow:
Good stuff man!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
What would be my next step? I didn't see anything about a custom recovery in the framaroot thread so I am guessing I need that next so flash ROMS and Kernals and such, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
No prob...just hit the thanks button. But yes, you should use a custom recovery for flashing ROMs, kernels, mods, etc. Just look for the thread about clockworkmod recovery. You might even be able to use ROM manager to install it for you. Check it out. Just don't forget to do a backup after you get your recovery installed.

Yes, gb27 is sprints version. You are gb28, are you on virgin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Yes I am on Virgin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Yea, its no problem. I'm on boost and have to use sprint versions for things on this phone. B/c there's basically nothing for boost/virgin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
k cool and if I use the one click it comes with a recovery also correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Correct...Agat's recovery is included in the kernels he releases. Have fun flashing! Just don't forget to backup!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Successfully flashed the kernal! Thank you so much. Now its time for a backup and then to find a great ROM to use. And suggestions on a very stable daily driver rom anyone? Is there a consensus 'best' 1 or 2 ROMs?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
I am wanting to flash this ROM: [ROM][GB27] Project X v3.1 {Team Rejectz}(Updated 8/11/13)

But it says "3. Install EL26 (Chris41G) kernel or EL29 Directboot kernel.

They can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1662295

( Look for: GB - Stock EL26 Repacked Kernel or GB - Direct Boot CWM )

Note: For success, EL26 & EL29 kernels are recommended for flashing this rom!"

I just installed agat63's source built kernal. Am I safe to flash this ROM from there or is there a different kernal I need to use. I see it says it is best to use el29 direct boot kernal but from what I am reading that is for GB and I am on JB so that won't work for me, correct?

Edit: I'm going for it lol looks like other people have successfully done it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Well I tried and am now stuck in a bootloop. I was on agats 1.3 gb27 kernal. Wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the X2 file n then flashed Project X v3.1

Then I rebooted and phone booted into a bootloop. What should I do now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Look back to post #8. Anyway, since you made a backup, boot to recovery and restore it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Also, sometimes on first boot, it will take around five minutes to boot. So be sure and give it a little while to boot.

Its generally best to follow the directions given, the devs work hard to figure out what works with minimal issues;):beer:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Wellllll I don't have a backup. I thought I did but I checked my sd card for it and it is nowhere to be found. I Was going to follow instructions and go to el29 but so many people say they have successfully done it from where I was that I went for it. Also I am on JB not GB so I can't flash el29 correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
I did read around before I attempted it. Spent a couple hours reading. Wasn't gonna do it until I felt comfortable. I did feel like I knew what I was doing, but I was wrong :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You can flash el29 to flash the ROM, most roms include a kernel, so just make sure before you flash that one is included because the ROM won't boot on el29

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
OK So am I safe to flash el29 from where I am at now even though I am on Jelly Bean?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Sorry I just realized el29 is a modem not a kernal. I have read so much and still feel so lost. I come from the Droid Charge and rooted/ROM'd it/return to stock n did it all again several times, I promise im not just slow lol. This is just far more complicated, on that phone there was no flashing modems and kernals, just root and then flash the rom via cwm.

So anyways, I need to flash the el29 modem via odin, and then flash the rom? Don't need to do kernal before rom because rom comes with kernal, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
No. El29 kernel. Give me a minute to get back to my pc and I'll link you to everything you'll need and walk you through it.

No, do not flash the el29 kernel. It just directly boots you to recovery...no ROM/system files
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
EL29 direct boot kernel found here

You'll want to use this, I picked the one click as its the easiest option, after you've gone through the process it will boot right into recovery. From here you can flash the zips for whatever ROM you chose. If you're going to be using jellybean touchwiz you'll want to make sure you've done the GB27 one click to partition your device. This will erase your internal memory, so back up anything you don't want to lose!

GB27 one click - follow this link and choose this file SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Restore.exe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Follow his advice SoAnarchy...Stryke has a LOT more exp than I and probly explain it better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
OK So I run the el29 one click. Im with you there. This is where I am getting confused and frustrated lol... My goal was to end up on Project X. Is that 'JB Touchwiz'?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
OK check it out, go to the link to rwilcos site I sent you. Click JB>Gb28>Full Restore>Rooted>then download the exe file. Go to download mode...run the exe. That will give you a rooted stock version of what you had. From there, then you can install a custom ROM. It should have a custom recovery already, if not, you can go from there. There also is a non rooted version on the same page if you want. Either way, that will get you back up and running.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Ok, when you're in recovery from el29, wipe cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik, then you navigate to install from sdcard, then go to where your copy of project x is and select the zip, choose yes to install. Let it do its thing and you're good to go.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
That's kinda why I suggested taking your time before messing with kernels and such. I did the just about the same thing. The one-click exe files on rwilco saved my a**.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Well thats the frustrating thing is that I have put a lot of time into reading and thought I knew what I was doing only to realize I knew basically nothing lol.

Edit: nvm I unplugged and plugged back in and it came up. Here we go!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Try unplugging your device, pulling the battery and going back to download mode first. If that fails, reinstall the drivers. Also make sure md5 matched.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthomson205:
Dude...I searched and searched and read and read for about 6 months before even attempting rooting just to make sure I knew what I was doing. After that it was a few more months before I tried flashing a ROM, and still wound up messing up. And I didn't mess with kernels till even after that. So believe me, I know where you're coming from.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Well my new issue is that after flashing el29, It booted into recovery like expected, yet I can only navigate up and down the menu and cannot use the power button to make a selection.

so folks, the description will point my opinion - not more or less...

in my eyes it´s a kind of impudence to collect many bucks for a device in anticipation some rom-experiance...

emwno has received the device 2 month ore less ago - in meantime samsung pushed the firmware to 4.2.2...

I can remember some words like "give me 2 days to play with it before it´s a develop-unit" - ehrm, kay.... development is urgent missing...

I´m total critical in hardware-funding, so I spent nothing! In this point I get totally right. If I see a result I´ll support the develper with any bucks.

What´s in your mind?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ExploreMN:
How much of the device sent to him was your money?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
Beanstown also got a device paid for by the community.

So far, Beans has produced a deodexed stock rom and Emwo has produced the viable custom recoveries needed to flash the roms and kernels that Beans, Civato etc. are making. Emwo took a good run at making a kernel, too.

Would it be nice if there was more development? Sure, but I'm lazy - I just kicked in some money - more as a thank- you than anything else.

If I actually wanted to see a feature developed, I'd do it myself, or I'd buy a device on which there was active development.

Odin is preferred to push .img or .tar files. ..

They don't call it rom "mangler" for nothing. ..

And users, especially new ones, or those new to Samsung. ...should learn to use Odin and understand it's benefits. ..

Rom manager is a poor interface for sending files to a device, especially at the recovery level. ..as it leaves no recourse to correct its own errors. ...g

Is my XDA2 on its way out?!? I've had it since the end of 2003, but since I dropped the original O2 ROM back into it (Post-WM2k5) and applied the updates from O2, it's rebooted on me twice. Once I was in the train station playing Solitaire and it dropped out on me, and it did the same again about 45 minutes ago shortly after I connected it to the PSU. Battery at 40% and 90% respectively, so that seems unlikely to me.

No obvious method.. no 123 that i can follow and get things done..

I Could only find devs telling users to Search.. ((I've Searched))

And some foggy answers.. Like if your HBOOT is 1.3.5 you can't go back to stock..

Or.. If you didn't do a nandroid to the stock rom.. there's noway you can go back to stock..

most of what i read is frustrating..

And i seriously need to get this phone Stock.. i dont care if it was Gingerbread.. Seriously..
