You are awesome, thank you so much. I've been trying to keep my searches within xda just because I trust them and been going to this site for years now for all my android needs.

I'll keep my eyes open for that victory pit, but again, thank you in advance should you beat me to it.

Is the pit file not in your Odin zip? It's been in everyone I've downloaded.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Sometimes it is, sometimes its not... I've only been lucky enough to download odin once with the victory pit included... the one from the epic cm teams website contains odin and pit and I completely forgot about it until just now...

Awesome! Hopefully when I get home from work tonight I can fix my phone back to stock. We'll see about re-rooting it.

I dunno what happened but I think it was when i finally updated youtube on my device, my phone froze afterwards. I did a hard reset by pulling the battery, and when I started it back up, it wouldnt go past the lock screen. The screen would turn on with the lockscreen, showing its disconnected from 3g, connects to it, screen shuts off, then repeat. So I tried to reformat to a backup I saved when I first rooted my phone, and it froze mid-format. Tried to factory reset, and now after a while, if I restart my phone, it'll go into a boot loop, where I have to reformat again.

All in all, I've reformatted my phone about 4-5 times just from last night through today.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
What rom were you on when it started acting up??? Pm me if you need help with anything tonight so we don't clutter the thread...

Btw, new youtube sucks, shouldn't have updated... older one was much better... lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost701:
To be honest, I dont remember. I rooted my phone over a year ago. I think i was using ics with cwm, but that's about as much as I remember lol, not very helpful, I'm sure. But yeah, if I run into any issues tonight, I'll shoot you a pm.

And I downloaded the newest update cause I read a review saying they fixed whatever issues it had, and I was kinda sick of seeing my phone having updates. Probably would have been better to just delete youtube altogether, but oh well.

I hope you mean CM9 because the Epic 4G with slide out keyboard never got ICS.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Good catch kenny...

@ghost701- if you don't have a keyboard on that epic DO NOT use those files I linked unless you want a fancy brick... if you do have a keyboard then all is well, if not, try the epic touch forum for those files... (although odin will still work, the pit file won't)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost701:
I have a slide out keyboard :laugh:

It's just been awhile since I've played around with the hardcore rooting stuff, so I have no idea what I had. You fellas are making that CM9 and CM10 look pretty tho, wondering if I wanna drag myself around in circles again to try to get my phone to that point.

First things first though, I need to fix my phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Get it booting and running a stable bml rom before you go mtd if you want my opinion... after you know everything is running fine stock, root it and flash it...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost701:
:eek: I suppose I'd use odin to do that? *feels really out of the loop now*
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Everything you need to root can be found by searching youtube for qbking77 epic 4g root... all the gingerbread roms (el30 and on I believe) are all rooted the same way, with odin... qbking makes great youtube vids, watch a few, it'll catch you right up...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost701:
Would that be the people's rom, any chance?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Not sure what you're asking.. the peoples rom is an fc09 gingerbread tw based rom... it is prerooted, but you need to flash cwm (with odin) to install... what you'll need to do is follow the guide to root by qbking77, download the peoples rom and flash in cwm... there is an alternate way of rooting that will allow you to skip some steps if going to a prerooted build after rooting anyways (confused yet??? Lol).

Things you'll need to get directly to tpr (the peoples rom):

1. odin

2. Cwm.tar

3. the peoples rom

Download cwm.tar (can be found via qbking video) and odin that with nothing in odin checked (not even autoreboot). Once odin passes, remove battery, place battery back in, now boot straight into cwm (via 3 finger method (1 key, camera, and power)) and flash the peoples rom... all of this will obviously be done after bring your phone back from the soft brick state it is in at the moment... hope that helped...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Use the video on "how to root the Samsung Epic 4G on FC09" and substitute The People's ROM for the stock prerooted ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Well that made it sound easier... been so long since I've watched the video I didn't even remember what he says to do... lol

Wrong Characters Display

OK, I have searched for a mention of this problem, but I don't understand the root of the problem to get useful search results.

I have attached a screen shot. This is a view of an email. You can see that some of the characters/character combinations are displayed as the wrong character. I think these are largely character combinations beginning with a single quote or a double quote.

I have observed this is multiple applications, so it is not specific to email. I also see this in the stock browser and with Dolphin.

I am currently on CleanGB, but have observed this on stock EI22 and FC09, for example. I have not used many ROMs, so basically only stock ROMs and CleanGB. I have observed this character problem in all ROMs I have used.

Any clues as to what is going on here. If you could point me to a solution, I'd appreciate it.

Just got EPIC 4G and want to get rid of all cell-related services

Hi, Just got SPH-D700 (Epic 4G) that is locked to Sprint, we will be using this strictly on wifi, so I just want to get rid of all cell related services and features, I just don't want it searching for signal all the time and eating the battery.

I don't mind rooting it if I have to, but I just don't have that much time. it is running bone stock 2.3.6.

I am sorry if this is an extremely newbie question, but I just got it and all the info I read is about rooting, customs roms, etc.. and I think what I want to do is something so simple.. Just turn off all cell and install skype and use over wifi.

:D

You will need to root in order to delete stock apps on the phone. Google QBKing77 + Epic 4G for his video guide.

Use Titanium Backup from the Play Store to delete stock apps.

Missing Images and Audio/Music files issues CM 9.1.0 epicmtd

I have searched different threads and still can't find anyone else with this problem.

Whenever I send a picture by email to someone after it is sent the picture is still in the slot but no thumbnail is there. If I click on the thumbnail it never loads. I really have no idea what I can do to even attempt to fix this.

Another thing is I don't know why this happens but when I ever I put songs on my phone there is always an error in Apollo and they don't play them. I have tried using third party apps still gives the same error that it cannot play the file. I have tried using a music downloader and I have the same issue that the file is either corrupt or missing. When I try to play the songs on my sd card on my computer it just stays at 0:00 when the songs played on the sd card before trying to play them on the phone

Viewing messages From Unresponsive Phone

Hey guys, this is my first post so I hope I get this right.

So i have an Epic 4g and a couple days ago I fell on it and a considerable amount of force was put on the phone in the opposite direction in which you slide it open. The springs inside that make whatever the slide action do fell out, and also the screen doesn't turn on any more. Unfortunately the phone still turns on so messages are still being sent to it, as to if I were to switch to a new phone, the messages that didn't get received would also be sent to that new phone.

Turns out that during the time the phone broke some important messages were being sent and I need to see them.

to sum up:

I have Epic 4g

sprint wireless

latest firmware for this model

screen wont turn on but phone will

Drivers have never worked with any pc so I can't view any files

need to view messages, but can't.

I need a way to view these messages, and since the phone is already broke I don't mind doing risky stuff.

Thanks guys

So I rooted my epic using the guide the how to fco9 prerooted and I got root its working fine but I would like to know which apps and tools to use on it I'm still new to rooting and I don't really know much else I can do with it besides texting and music id appreciate any help thank you
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulsatar:
@hated-by-many - depends on what you want to do with it...

You can flash a rom such as a cyanogenmod 10 base. Just download the zip, reboot into recovery, install zip from sdcard and install the file you just downloaded. cm10 is really fast! You will notice a difference in performance right away. Just look in the development section for that.

For apps, you can get titanium backup which will let you do ALOT of things such as remove all of the crap that is pre-installed (if you go the custom rom route, usually all of that junk is removed for you), back up apps and data and plenty of other things. You can create a full restore of your phone with a nandroid backup so if you soft brick your phone (did it twice in the past two days playing with new roms) you can restore to where it was stable really easily.

qbking has some really nice video tutorials if the text is confusing you for putting on custom roms. Watch a couple of them first before trying it out on your own.

Hope that gives you a start :D

Long Press Back Button Modifications

When using every cyanogenmod 9 beta versions the kill all foreground apps feature by long pressing back took about a second to work. The more recent stable versions take about 3-4 seconds.

I know that if it can be changed from 1 to 3-4 or vice versa that it can be changed to whatever a developer wants to change it to. My question is this: how can I change this myself?

I don't know dirt about programming or tweaking anything but I'm a fast enough learner and know how to research how to's well enough.

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but I couldn't find any useful threads. All I could come across were various threads where users *****ed and argued over why whomever wanted to use the feature for whatever reasons and all that nonsense.

Any help I could get would be nice. I don't have any problems reading long pages of directions to accomplish this because I would really like to start using these new updates for Cyanogenmod. However the only way I will is if I can revert that tweak. It's petty, I know, but that was among the functions I used the most and sorely miss.

If it can't be done or if the information on how to do it doesn't want to be divulged, fair enough, I'll leave well enough alone. Thanks to anyone in advance for helping. I'll stop typing now. I've said too much and drank too little.

Connecting epic 4g to a monitor or TV

Can anyone help me connect my Epic 4g (SPH d700 - Sprint version) to a monitor or an HDTV? I recently cracked my screen and the entire screen went black. The phone still works because i can still tap/swipe, etc. on the screen (and press the areas where I remember icons are. I can open apps, and even silence my reminder app) but i just can't see what screen the phone is on. I want to connect the phone to a monitor, projector, tv, or anything that i can connect it to that will allow the image on the phone to be displayed on it.

I tried buying an MHL micro usb to hdmi connector, but when I connected the phone to an HDTV, the TV was not receiving a signal from my phone to display the image.

A Very good idea.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Did you made sure that the MHL cable has the port for the power cable.

The Samsung requires an MHM cable the connects to the micro SD port, the you have to connect a separate power cable to the second port on the adapter to provide power.

If you got the wrong MHM cable with only a the microSD connection it won't work.

I have both cable adapters, one cable works with the Samsung and the other non-powered adapter works only with my Asus table.

Also, sometimes when I connect the adapter to the TV, I have reset the TV to attempt a reconnect. Basically just to wake up the connection, the phone realizes it needs to switch over that combo port to HDMI.

Hope this helps.
