Im having some adb issues..its just not working over here. I flashed ACS DK28 rom...I did some one click root method too and my Clockwork is 2.5.1.1. Im trying to flash Bonsai and its telling me to use another one click root but i cant seem to get it working because ADB isnt working at all..
And I tried searching this but search is down...google isnt helping, its taking me to the same links over and over again >.< Im stuck. I have no idea how to get to Bonsai from this ACS DK28 rom
Nevermind y'all. I got it. Had to use Ubuntu

Hey guys I have a quick question. My buddy has the Samsung Epic 4g and was running from store stock DK18 build. He recently updated to DK28 using the leaked update.zip method. So far his phone is working fine with the exception of the gps not working. I dont own a samsung and after reading through all this info im super glad cause I see nothing but problems from what I am reading. Things are so much easier with my OG moto droid haahhahahah. He wants to root his phone and install a custom rom.
But most of the roms I look at say you need the dk28 modem installed first. Was the DK28 modem installed with the DK28 2.2 update zip? Or it wasnt included with that? How can I tell on his phone if he has the DK28 modem? Is the only way to get the DK28 modem on his phone by flashing it using odin? I find it hard to believe that there is no update.zip for it by now. If anyone can help me out with this or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Would much rather just find the update zip for the dk28 modem so I dont have to mess around with odin since I dont own a samsung.
There are way to many threads on here regarding this issue so its kinda hard to sort through them all. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Go to Settings=>About Phone. This will tell you you're baseband version. If it says DK28 at the end you're set...otherwise read on.
I just flashed Bonsai 2.0 and the modem was not included. I used the signed modem update afterwards from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861341
Without the DK28 modem you won't be able to get a signal through the cell radio. Wifi worked but the device was switching airplane mode on and off every half second. Flashed the modem AFTER the rom...I don't recommend this... and all is well.
I was also coming from DI18 and stock rom with a modified kernel.

Ok ok awesome I was thinking that about the baseband version but wasnt sure so figured I would ask. So he does have the dk28 at the end. Thats good. One less step he has to take. How do you like Bonsai? I was actually looking at that one for him. That will probably be the first one he will try.
One more question. How did you root the phone? Did you use the z4root app and then download rom manager and flash clockwork that way? Or did you use one of these one click root programs that I see in this forum? What do you think the easiest way is for him to get root and clockwork recovery on his phone?
Thanks for all your help Zetter I appreciate it.
The best way to root is to use the one-click. It will give you root, recovery, and the recovery redirect.
Rom Manager will not flash clockwork without a custom kernel and z4 doesn't install recovery or the redirect.

For one, it allowed the use of multiple recoveries. For example, for a short period, many of us were running cwm 2.5.1.0 AND 2.5.1.2 since one only supports rfs and the other only supports ext4. Booting into recovery via the death-grip brought you to 2.5.1.0 and the redirect allowed you to reboot into 2.5.1.2.
I believe the redirect is also what allows programs like quickboot to reboot to recovery mode without using the death-grip.

Awesome thank you for the info Digi. We used the one click root method and now we have root and when holding the volume , camera and power button we go into clockwork recovery 2.5.1.0. Is there a special button or combo you need to hit for the redirector to work? Or it reboots you into the correct clockworkmod automatically depending on what filesystem RFS/EXT4 you are currently using? Sorry to be such a pain. This stuff is kinda new to me since I dont own a samsung. I really appreciate your help though.
Ok I after reading the bonsai rom thread I found the new oneclickroot with clockwork3. So I tried that one now and was able to reboot into clockwork 3.x.x.x
and install the bonzai rom. Had a problem after the install completed. The phone wouldnt boot up just got hung on the black samsung screen. I know in the Bonzai thread it said not to wipe but after the phone hung I booted into recovery and and did a wipe then installed the bonzai zip again and the phone booted up. GPS still doesnt work so that kinda sucks. But I guess its all trial an error. I will keep reading. Thanks for the help.
Is there a way to check on his phone if he has the ext4 filesystem or the rfs. I am guessing since he has cw3 and was able to boot into the new ext4 bonzai rom he converted to the ext4 FS but would like to know if there is a way to check.

Like you said, by installing CWM3 you have automatically converted to EXT4...BUT if you really want to check: from adb you can type 'adb shell mount' without the quotes. Or you can type 'su' (enter) then 'mount' from terminal emulator. You should see EXT4 as the fs type for /system, /data, and /cache.

Thanks alot leatherneck. I figured he had it but its always good to double check to make sure everything worked. I see the EXT4 in Term Em. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it.
Im really sorry in advance if this has been posted already, but i have the unofficial froyo 2.2 update because i wanted to use oovoo and skype on my epic and this was the easiest choice, being so i had the BlackBerry Storm 2 for awhile and have no experience with android. Okay so heres my question which i couldnt find, how do i go from DK28 to this bonsai rom that looks promising, i like the froyo update in the beginning but got really tired of the wifi bs and notification bs and not to mention the sms log in your recent call logs? annoying.
For the record i did not use odin to get 2.2 on my epic i used the flash way which i found on this forum, i dont remember where, it was a month ago.
Please help, id really like to enjoy my epic more.
Ive read alot of different posts. and even in the bonsai post there isnt anything that tells me how to root my phone. Cause im convinced i need to root my phone to install this. can anyone help?

One Click Root
That should work to root your device. The instruction are detailed and if you dont know something i suggest reading through it...To flash bonsai you need to have ext 4 so you might want to root with this:
Clockwork 3
This will convert your system to ext4 but will also wipe all your settings and phone clean..many people have had problems with flashing from stock so i suggest flashing bonsai 1.1.4 and install all the apps and setting you want.
Leave it just how u want and without wiping anything (dalvik, cache, etc) go back to recovery (power down phone, 3 finger salute) and flash 2.0.1. The great thing about the new bonsai is that it Backsup all your apps and settings for you
so when the process is done your phone will look exactly the same (which is why i said to flash 1.1.4 first. It will make your life ALOT easier) Currently it will not carry over your theme and i suggest not installing one until themers fix the
framework.apk to work with the newest release. hope this helps and if anything you can ask on the bonsai thread and there are guys there that can help out.
Edit: Forgot to mention that you will need bonsai 1.1.4 on your sd when you root because you need to flash this after the root with clockwork 3. (i think it says flash kernel after. Skip that because it already includes the kernel needed)
so where do i put the clockwork3?
i figured that part out, sorry. i just need to figure out the rest on how to install the damn bonsai rom.
Well once you have ran the one click file that he gave you then put the bonsai rom on your on the root of of your SD card. Boot into recovery. Select install zip from SD card, choose zip from SD card and find the bonsai rom on the SD card. That's it. It will flash and then select reboot if it doesn't for it for you.

how do i go about doing this? ive searched but im overwhelmed as to the amount of data im getting on how to go about doing this. everybody just says search but nothing is as clear cut as it seems.
first i rooted with the oneclick
then i used the viper rom odin with dk17 here
im trying to update to clockworkmod 3 but i think i need dI18 first so i can go to dk28 so i can get cwm3
all this so i can get nebula rom here
all because it says "NEED clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 or higher" i spent hrs trying to find 2.5.1.2 as oneclick root only has 2.5.0.0
btw where is the update.zip's at there should b 1 repository for it
Why don't you just Odin to dk28 then root with cwm3? Its hard to paste where these thongs are using tapatalk. That's prolly the easiest and best way to do it. Once you root and get clockwork mod version 3 and you boot into it , it will convert your filesystem to ext4 and.then you flash.the.rom that you want.

2.5.1.2 is in the thread that had a title like "ext4! no more rfs!!!" in the dev section.
Or get cwm3.
Alright so a while back I used unrevoked on my wifes incredible and it worked just fine. she updated it recently so today I went to reroot and prep to install a new rom. Problem is it failed to get root with the newest unrevoked. Ti backup fails to get root yet mybackup gets it and so does rom manager. I'm trying to get into clockwork through the hboot menu. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by going through there..i tried to backup with cwm through rom manager and it worked (didn't till i flashed the latest recovery but still) but I'd still like to get into cwm for myself not rely on rom manager. I've yet to try to reboot into recovery that way or restore the backup I made as I am at work but regardless..any ideas? I know when things are being ridiculous with the fascinate I can just odin and go from there..is there something along those lines for the dinc? If not what should I do to root the thing..get clockwork again..and flash the new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks!

Your best bet is starting from scratch. Unrooting, rerooting, flashing cwm. Etc.

I can get to HBOOT but from there all i can do is reboot or fast boot, I havent done the factory reset yet but i intend to try. But from hboot I want to get into cwm, or do i get into cwm recovery a different way?
Mind you I havent tried to get into it since flashing the newest cwm through rom manager (or that I remember trying or not..been a hectic past week..im losing my damn mind, grandmother passed away in Anaheim, etc, etc)
also im going to reroot and do a completely different rom, it is stock minus wonky root and launcher pro. I finally convinced the wife to let me modify it.
Ifu don't see recovery option in any hboot option. Like there's no clockwork u should by able to flash clockwork and then a Rom.ican pm you.but if unroot is your objective goto Android dev stickies there's a thread.
sent from dinc
thats the thing, I see the recovery option, but everytime I select it, it tried to find a multitude of images, says file doesnt exist on all of them (4 or 5 of them I believe) and sends me back to the main hboot screen.
Suppose that information would have been useful. Again, hectic week lol
use say u have rom manager?
yes, im wondering if I need a stock recovery image since it isnt finding the PBwhaterver.img Any idea where I can get that?
Also probably helpful, I had used unrevoked forever a while back. Im thinking I need to undo those changes and just retry everything.
Thoughts?
Edit: Downloaded a new clockwork recovery image from unrevoked forever wiki, gonna throw it on the SD card and see what happens. HOPEFULLY that will let me into cwr, if not, how do I just put everything back to stock so I can start over?
try that file. get rid of the mlti part should sayPB31IMG. also make sure no other files of the same name are on root of sd.should say update vol up yes wait reboot no see ifu got recovery got newr versions too. also new urevoked have versions without clockwork u prolly used tht one. easy fix tho
alright, gonna give it a shot when I get home in the morning. Wish me luck.
Alright flashing with rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery from there worked just fine. we are in business for now anyways lol.

Ive searched a few threads and tried a few things but still cant get this working so now im asking for help lol...
heres an explanation of what i did:
Last night i did a usual wipe,and then did a format of the internal data and flashed a Rom,everything went as usual,internal was cleaned up Rom flashed just fine,but then i realized i flashed a older version of a Rom and went back into recovery and flashed a different rom (i think i formatted internal data again,but it was last and i was tired so at the moment i dont remember),and i thought it flashed fine but then i got stuck at the Splash Screen,and thats when i realized that i was getting the "Cant mount data" error...
now i searched a few thread and one suggestion was made to try Philz Recovery (Im using TWRP) so i tried that but i couldnt even do a wipe without the whole just restarting itself so now im back on TWRP and dont wanna **** anything else up so here i am lol.. im currently downloading the tar from the Odin thread (which is taking foreverrrrrrrr) since that seems to be the other solution i found but before i go Odin'ing stuff i figure id ask for suggestions first.. thanks for any help u guys can give...

Using Odin to go back to stock is what I'd do. Sounds like your partitions have gotten borked somehow. An Odin flash should fix that.
Note...if you have updated to stock 4.4 previously, you will need the 4.4 .tar to flash in Odin. The 4.2 or 4.3 will not flash in Odin if you ever accepted the 4.4 OTA
i never did an OTA update but i was on a 4.4 rom before i did anything... anway currently ive flashed the nb4 . tar thru Odin and that just made the recovery font bigger and wheni flashed "update" it did complete but its still stuck on the S4 splash screen... i dont know wtf else to do this is driving me nuts! lol i seriously need like a step by step by file walkthrough cuz im going crazy without a phone lol...and its 4am now and im too tired to keep trying stuff
quick rundown of what i did last:
i flashed the M919UVUFNB4 .tar in odin and that went thru succesfully,but the phone still doesnt pass the S4 splash screen... dont know what else to do really at this point i have to be missing something...
edit i got it back on stock,now im guessin i gotta re-root the thing again smh
