[Q] Can't access sprint services after rooting and installing rom please help

I installed VIPERrom trinity 2.0 (no blame on them great rom I'm sure this is my doing) but now I can't access sprint services I.e. I. Can't make phone calls send texts or access internet unless via wifi...if anyone would have any possible fixes or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

You can either try to reflash the ROM, try a factory/data reset, or Odin back to EB13 prerooted with CWM3 and flash the ROM. Sounds like Odin is the best bet. For Odin instructions follow this:

For EB13 prerooted go here:

Hope this helps.

I greatly appreciate the info but unfortunately neitherof those links helped, most likely my inability to follow the instruction, but when I would download the prerooted eb13 file it did not have any of the files mentioned in the directions...oh well get up early and try again. Thanks again for the help.

To use the EB13 file you need Odin which was in the first set of directions. Here is Odin in case the download link is broken.
This will wipe your phone and restore it to a factory condition but already rooted so on your computer unzip Odin into a directory (I called it Odin) then unzip the EB13 file and put the .tar and .pit files in the Odin directory. Open Odin. Uncheck the F.Reset box. Click PIT and put the EB13-EXT4.PIT in that box. Click PDA and put the EB13 tar file in there. Now power down your phone and Turn it back on holding the 1 key on the keyboard and then hitting the power button. A yellow triangle stating download mode will appear on the phone. Now connect your USB cable to the phone and computer. In a box on the Odin screen a COM number will pop up. Hit start, let it do its thing. If it passes it will reboot. If it gets stuck, pull the battery and try again, try other USB ports or a different cable if it gets stuck a few times. Check your service. If OK then continue to flash ROM.
Now with your ROM already on your sd card, shut down your phone and 3 finger (camera button, volume down, power all at once) into Clockwork Mod Recovery and let it do the EXT4 conversion...do not reboot. After that is done pick Install zip file from sd card, choose zip file, pick your ROM file and hit camera button. It will now flash your ROM.
All this is assuming you still want a custom ROM. If not I will point you to the stock unrooted files.

Thank you so much for the help, once i figured out i needed to download 7zip in order to release the file types it worked flawlessly and took only minutes so again thank you so much...yet after all that the problem was that sprint activated one of our very old phones sitting in a drawer at our house and removed my epic from service haha, so a long, unecessary road but glad to know the process works seamlessly thank you very much.

Epic root and rom questions....please help

Hi everyone, just got the epic last night coming from evo 3d....bought the phone used and it seems like it was already rooted as I have superuser on it....I spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out with no results.....problem is I cant seem to flash anything because when I go into the ODIN menu it says downloading and never gets out of that screen. I have the Kies installed and usb drivers installed but for some reason my phone is not connecting to it....i see MTP driver is not installed and when I do try to install it says that the INF file is invalid. Also there is a yellow triangle when booting phone not sure if that helps to explain the issue....Im on 32 bit XP ....not sure what else I can inform you with to help me....Thanks in advance

When in downloading mode that is what It.is supposed to do. U need to plug it in and run Odin from the computer. Go into the development section and find one of The stock from images from sfhub. The last official release is ek02. Follow the directions in there.

Make sure you have the latest drivers from Samsung installed on your PC. Reboot the phone, reboot the PC, start as fresh as you can. Best way to go about it is to Odin EC05, One Click root with CM3 (purple version) and go from there.
Check the stickied thread with the old stickies in it, you'll find everything you need in there. And last but not least, for the love of everything holy, don't use the stock cord. Get something decent, blackberry cables seem to work the best for me. Make sure the port you're plugged into on your PC is on the back (so it's direct into the board) not one of the front ones.

Well first off, having the thread title as "???" does not help anyone with searching for answers.
I'm trying to understand your situation: So you say you were on Eclair and rooted, and then was able to upgrade to Froyo while rooted? That's not possible. The update would have failed after seeing a file system mismatch.
For Eclair and Froyo, the 1-click root method works. However, for Gingerbread you have to Odin a custom kernel and recovery, then install the Superuser app. Once you have CWM installed you can flash any EL30 rom you wish. The modem is upgraded manually. Look in the dev section for the sticky thread that has the thread link in it.
Video 1: http://youtu.be/kwFRzzIqouE
Video 2: http://youtu.be/jWOLEXqAeCc
To follow up on your Odin woes: use a different USB port that is directly on the motherboard; and a different cable.

2.1? Froyo? You know the Epic has official Gingerbread right? And stable ICS?

Well i know that but the site wouldn't let me name it anything, I mean like 15 different titles that i wasan't allowed to use. Anyway I was able to fix the phone up, i was having a driver issue & that's what was stopping Odin from detecting the phone in downloader mode.

Thanks, I'm trying to convince my GF to get the sgs2, she's on USCC. This will come in handy.

I actually put together a more streamlined package on the other thread. If someone could test it out, that would help others.
Inspired by the above enthusiasm, I put together a quick package to simplify rooting for your phone (if I had a phone to use, I could put together something even simpler)
Keep in mind, I'm doing this all "blind" since I don't have a phone. This procedure might not work, but should be pretty close to working. With some feedback I can fix it up quickly.
Thanks - chris41g for EK02+CWM zImage, themac79 for FB14 zImage, Margey for testing and helping work out root procedure
1) download the USCC rooting package [USCCROOT-sfx.exe]
2) extract the files
USCCROOT-sfx.exe is a 7zip self-extractor that contains all the files you'll need. Just double-click in windows and specify where you want to extract, we'll assume C:\
3) connect phone to PC
make sure USB drivers are installed
enable USB debugging (menu->settings->applications->development)
4) install E4GT EK02 kernel+CWM using ODIN OneClick
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\e4gtauto-sfx.exe
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SPH-D710.EK02_KERNEL_CWM-OneClick.exe (thanks chris41g for zImage)
E4GTAUTO: select Option E (Extra Options), then Option H (Reboot to ODIN Download Mode), press any key to continue, then select Option J (Previous Menu)
ODIN-OC: Wait until yellow COM port shows up in ODIN OneClick window
ODIN-OC: Press Start on the ODIN OneClick screen
Phone will reboot when done
ODIN-OC: Close the ODIN OneClick window
5) Install persistent root
E4GTAUTO: select Option A (Install Root)
E4GTAUTO: when done, press any key to reboot, then any key to continue
6) install USCC FB14 kernel using ODIN OneClick
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SCH-R760.FB14_KERNEL-OneClick.exe (thanks themac79 for zImage)
E4GTAUTO: select Option E (Extra Options), then Option H (Reboot to ODIN Download Mode), press any key to continue
ODIN-OC: Wait until yellow COM port shows up in ODIN OneClick window
ODIN-OC: Press Start on the ODIN OneClick screen
Phone will reboot when done
ODIN-OC: Close the ODIN OneClick window
7) you are done
E4GTAUTO: select Option K (Exit)

Ha ha even better man. Now I just need to figure out how to pull the stock odin information off so we can start at least creating odin roms. Need a debloated one soon. I will play with it more in the morning.

Uscc galaxy sII root (streamline)
Wow!!! Worked like a charm! THANKS!!!!!

Unroot
This process works like a charm to root the phone. How would I unroot if needed?

anyone working on an ICS rom for the US Cellular version? Shouldn't be too hard since it's basically identical to our phone. The source was released a few days ago I believe.

1. The root for USCC samsung gs2 work like a champ. (hat's off to everyone who made this happen so quick).
2. My only problem is that i want clockworkmod to do a rom backup but having problems loading it in. I downloaded the app and flashed and reboot to recovery and nothing.
Do we have a release for this and if not can I use a similar .tar to do so. I just don't want to brick my phone.
thanks
Phone:
Android Version: 2.3.6
Build number gingerbreadad.fb14
And again the new release of the samsung gs2 for USCC

Edit:
Second time's a charm I guess..
I followed the directions. Everything went well. However, after downloading superuser I don't have and can't install the binary. So it seemd that I don't have root.
I'm a little stuck. Anybody have any tips?
Thanks!

Sfhub's method works perfectly! Thank you!

Hi All,
I'm getting ready to replace my USCC Mez with something new.
I'm torn between the Galaxy S II and the Aviator.
My main concern with either is the availability of custom ROMs and extensive development.
Which phone would be better in your opinion?
Are there any custom ROMs for either phone yet?
My searching has turned up a few discussions, but no real useful info.
Thanks in advance,
Elmojo

got my uscellular galaxy s 2 rooted
now i just want to find a way to backup my stock rom then flash different roms anyone have any idea how?
cwm doesnt work with this phone

Is there any information on how to backup your current rom or flash back to stock rom? I'm really paranoid and I'm trying to be as cautious as possible about this so I don't brick my phone, also so I have a backup plan in case something goes wrong and I have to send it in or something.
Thanks

[Q] Kies closes on GB27 update

I'm trying to update my old phone which is now my sister in law's. It's stock unrooted ICS FL24.
When I try to use Kies to update, it gets through the first step of dowlnoading firmware upgrade components, but when it reaches 100% the window hangs for 30 seconds or so and then disappears and Kies closes.
It's the most recent version of Kies, I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it's still doing it. Has anyone come across this and a way to fix it? My sister in law wants the update but I can't seem to do it for her.

What worked for me was using an Odin One-Click package from here.

Use that link to download an Odin One-Click tool that will make your life easy. Whether you're looking to root her phone or keep it un-rooted, there is a tool for you on that page. Download whichever one of the tools you need whether or not you need to root her phone or keep it un-rooted. RESTORE versions will WIPE all user data from the phone. NODATA versions will NOT wipe user data from the phone. After downloading the one-click tool you need, simply turn off her phone and once it's fully powered down, press and hold volume down and the power key at the same time until you see the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo. You can let go now. It will boot into something called "Download mode" and that's what we need.
I'm going to assume you've already installed the samsung drivers since you're using KIES. If not, get them from here and install.
Make sure the phone is FULLY CHARGED at this point.
After the drivers are installed, launch the Odin One-Click program and wait for it to appear. Once it's loaded go ahead and connect your phone to the computer. Make sure your phone is still in download mode before you connect to the computer! The top left box in that Odin window should light up with a yellow box with "0:COM#" in it, once that's lighted up, go ahead and click start at the bottom.
If you do not see a yellow "0:COM#" light up in the top left set of boxes, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as an administrator.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE AND DO NOT TURN IT OFF WHILE ODIN IS WORKING! Once it's done, it will change the bigger box on the left of the "0:COM#" to a green box with the word "PASS!" in it. Once this happens, the phone will reboot on its own. Once the phone reboots, it's safe to disconnect from the computer.
And that's it. You've skipped trying to use the crappy KIES software and you've successfully installed GB27 (JB 4.1.2)! I'd say it's time to celebrate!
Hope this helps you. Cheers! :beer:
(alternatively you could just follow the instructions from the page where you download your ODIN tool from... Thanks to "Admin" from that website for the post, garwynn from here for leading me there, and QBKing77 for instructions that taught me how to do this back when ICS just released for this phone. )

No. Use a NODATA rooted FL24, install Titanium (PRO highly recommended), and backup all your apps, call log, sms inbox, etc.
Then put the Titanium Backup folder from your SDcard on a PC (or somewhere else safe, off the internal storage. External SD card is ok too).
Then run the RESTORE ROOTED GB27, which will repartition your internal storage, likely wiping everything. This is why you moved your backups. Install Titanium and restore your backup. Reboot.
Then reboot to recovery and do a nandroid backup. Copy this backup to your PC for futureproofing.
Now, if you want to be unrooted, you can Odin a NODATA UNROOTED GB27, and you should have all your apps and such intact, without root access.
