Any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advanced.

Put the file I attached on your sdcard and boot into the bootloader, select update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. That image is that you tried to boot into recovery, but there is no recovery.

That means that you don't have a custom recovery installed. Did you have a recovery prior to this? If you're still rooted, and your bootloader shows S-off, all you need to do is flash a custom recovery. Power your phone off. Boot to the bootloader, confirm that it shows S off. If so, cool, you just need recovery. I would use Amon Ra 2.3, it's the most reliable recovery in my opinion. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3. You need to download it, confirm that it's named exactly PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. Power your phone off, and boot to the bootloader. It will scan, and then ask you to update. Select volume up for yes. It will flash the recovery, then when it's finished, select recovery from the bootloader. You should no longer have the triangle, and now it should be a black screen, green letters, and say amon ra supersonic 2.3 or something like that, at the bottom. Make your nandroids, do your wiping and flashing from there. Good luck.

Very cool guys, thanks a bunch.
So I need to download a separate app to do back ups?
Sorry I am confused, the Hero was a little bit easier for me to figure out. IDK why this phone is giving me a hard time.
If there isa video on how to do a back up.
(EDIT) I guess I am not making myself clear. I need to know how to perform a proper back up so that once I download the new rom I have a back up incase I mess up some how.
Thanks in advanced.

Well, on amon_ra 2.3 First make a separate backup of your wimax, and then copy it to your pc for safe keeping. Then make another with everything, except the wimax...you need the first 3 options, but everything after that is at your discretion.
Edit: Well you need titanium backup [personally] recommend to backup your apps.

You boot into recovery and select backup/restore and backup if on clockwork, nandroid if on amon_ra

Im not on either? I guess. I used z4 to root. Is that my problem. I decided to start messing around with my phone again today and it got stuck on that screen of the photo I posted again. So I unhooked my battery and now it continues to boot into that screen. Any help for this? Thanks in advanced guys/gals.

Nevermind, I figured out that is I held down my volume button when I powered up it allowed me to go into that menu and then I unhooked the battery and it was able to boot up that way. Still need a link or explanation on what Amon RA is.
http://noobgui.de/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_nandroid_backup_with_Amon_RA

So what don't you understand?

I do the steps on the wiki and this comes up
So I guess I dont have amonRA, and I don't know how to get it.

Ah, no recovery. Flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader, apply update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3
You can also flash it from rom manager, but rom manager is only on version 2.2 of amon_ra.

Okay, wow thank you. I totally missed that earlier.

Never a problem man.

I am running my virtual window to download the file (I hate macs and androids dont like each other)
And my virtual box wont find my phone so I am having to email it to my self.

Wow im soo confused please help..

I've read and read many threads in this subject. Now im just soo confused. Please help me understand the steps required to update my rooted GB to ICS.
This is what i'm on.. rogue ET recovery 1.1.2 (CWM v5.0.2.7)

So i boot my phone into recovery and install the AGAT.zip to update my recovery then i should be free to install venum rom correct?
Or do i need to be already in a ICS stock rom to flash the AGAT recovery to update to the Venum rom...???
please help me understand..!!!! thanks in advance

Your model number shows SPH-D710 which is the Sprint Epic Touch 4G. This forum is for the SGH-i777 AT&T Galaxy S II. Completely different phone.

Wow... ok.. I feel really stupid now thanks... I'm starting out well.. lol

anyone..??

If you have mobile Odin install the stock el26 kernel from there if not use Odin boot into recovery and use calks wipe all then flash rom should work with no problems its the safest way to flash here's a link to el26 from my drive save ya some time looking. make sure you nandroid backup and titanium backup before hand and also make sure you have the rom on your sdcard.

Its alright, ya got it now =)
I was attempting to flash to the newest AOKP rom(7-13), well preparing to flash to it anyhow. I flashed the latest AGATS recovery as per QBKing's video posted on the...14th I'm sure.
Anyhow, I flashed the recovery and now I am unable to get past the samsung splash. After having done this, I imagine I did it wrong, but I can still get to the recovery, which is AGATS now. You say that the way you just posted was the safest way to flash? I believe you, being that it looks the simplest.
orr
Would i be able to flash the AOKP rom now? QBK said this is the safest recovery, if something on my prior setup isn't savy with this recovery, if I flash this new ICS rom, then it should all work itself out?

So for anyone wondering, I went ahead and flashed the rom, and it worked. I went ahead and installed AOKP rom, and it booted up. I re-installed agats recovery FF18 (<-- this is right right? I need to learn, teach me! lol) then booted back into the rom to make sure that it worked, and it did. rebooted into recovery, mounted usb, copied gapps, unmounted.
I just flashed gapps, and am rebooting ......and am now stuck in a boot loop to the recovery? What happened??
Alright lol, I somehow was stuck in a loop, but I did a battery pull whilst in agat, then hit the power button, it rebooted into agat but straight into the reboot menu, and then I clicked reboot to system and I'm back to the rom now.
I'm not getting any Wifi or 4g, and low signal. but I do have play store. jumped feet first into it, now I gotta deal with it ....

Agats recovery is a TouchWiz based recovery. That's probably why you are having issues with wifi and possible many other issues. I suggest you start again and flash EL26 using mobile Odin , factory reset+ wipe cache+dalvik cache, install aokp rom and gapps right after and then reboot. The included recovery in the latest AOKP, TWRP, has been modified and be labeled as safe. There is no need to flash another recovery. But as you may know, there is always a risk when flashing ICS, so take things slow and double check things

Well it would seem that another one of my problems is that I can't access my storage menu under settings, leading me to believe that I don't have any access to my SDcard. I'm just going to use regular odin to flash down to EL26. then follow btaylor545 instructions below. Unless I ca figure out installing this mobile_odin .apk to my phone somehow. I'd prefer that, don't wanna raise the y_triangle.

You can't go into the market and download it? You could also just download a file explorer from the market and install it that way. And there now an app called Triangle away and will take away the triangle as long as you are on ICS. It's made by the same person who made Mobile Odin, Chainfire.

Yeah, I have the store, but I don't have access to it because I need to be connected to my data, can't via 3/4G, or my wifi, so I can't download anything via market. I'm reading to figure something out now...

Alright!
So through all my fruitful searching (it actually turns up great results here!!) I got Mobile Odin Lite pushed to my device via APKPush. I need to instal an addon because its Odin Lite, but its only for flashing FW's, so I oughta be all right to flash the el26 kernel with Mobile Odin.
So now I have all of the tools available to me, I just need the route. I oughta be fine doing all of this, ICS to ICS, because it's the released ICS, not the leaked correct?

:highfive: i just wanted to give everyone a big thanks... I'm officially on ICS..! :victory:
I basically did as stated by btaylor545 and SkippyDogg...
- Used stock el26 kernel .TAR version
- flashed stock EL26 kernel using ODIN mobile purchased from the market.
- Phone will reboot after flash. Hold vol up and power button to go into recovery.
- use Calks wipe all .zip multiple times..
- then flashed my ICS rom...
Rom used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694483
One last question... If i wanted to try another ICS rom, is it best practice to flash back to GB rom and EL26 kernel then go to another ICS rom or just using EL26 stock kernel be sufficient to jump to another ICS rom.. Thanks again..

Welcome to ICS! :victory:
To Answer your question, just flashing the kernal though Mobile Odin and repeat the steps I mentioned and you're good to goo.

I've managed to get to ICS successfully too! AOKP Fri da 13th build. I'm having problems with service still, can't find where to connect to my wifi, and no 4g. Is that where a different modem kernel would come in?

Mosez, i'm still a noob, but i usually resolve reception issues by flashing a different modem. I'm on FC14 now with this new rom and so far no connectivity issues, i'll give it a couple more days..

I think I'm still on a GB kernel for some reason...when I go to system settings>about phone> it tells me I still have an EL29 baseband version. Whats up with that? Is that the problem causer?

Your base band version is your modem. Flash a rom does not upgrade your modem. There is a section with all the different modems available. You can flash thru recovery or mobile Odin.

Lol, I know now. The delay of any responses to my inquiries is making me search these things out on my own, but the directional assistance of just getting it out of my head and down on the forum helps immensely.
I found the Modem/kernel repository, and am going to flash the FF18 modem to see if it turns out some better results. My question now is that all of the guide are telling me to flash CWM recovery kernel, like a whole new rom, you know. I was curious if I could just flash this zip with the TWRP recovery, and just be the end of it, or do I wipe catch/factory restore/dalvik too?

I believe the newest TWRP allows you to flash modems now, so it should be as easy and downloading the FF18 Modem.zip and placing it on your internal storage, rebooting into TWRP recovery and flashing it. Just as a note, different modems work best on different phones.
So for example your phone might get fast 3G speeds on FF18 but get really slow 3G at FF02. 4G is also affected when flashing a new modem. So you have test out each modem if you want the best possible speed for your phone.
And sadly, AOKP at the moment does not allow you to update the phones Profile and PRL. Both of those actions together can fix signal and and speed issues from time to time.

want rooted stock kernel

I've been following a thread I'll link on putting the stock kernel back on my phone (sph-710bst). I can do this successfully but I really want it stock rooted. Following the instructions of another member in that thread they say to put agat on it and install super user. easy. the problem I have with agat is that now my phone thinks it's an 1900. So at this point I'm back with agat, it's rooted, and I just tried to install the stock kernel from recovery but it's failing. I just want the stock rom with boot access.

Welcome! First, don't worry about the screen with the triangle telling you that it's now an i9100. That's a default screen and we can fix it.
You have two options:
1) Find Triangle Away on this site, download it, run it and reset the counter. Yellow triangle and i9100 text gone. You still have Agat's recovery, which could be handy... and root, whether you are doing from his kernel or applied another solution.
2) Flash the stock kernel, which I have available here for Odin. You could even do the Rooted Nodata which will do that and root you without needing Agat's kernel. Still might want to keep his kernel handy for recoveries though.
Hope this helps!

wow awesome. downloading the reset link right now, i backed up my phone already so i'll do the full restore. i wish i found this yesterday morning when i started all this. think i've flashed my phone about 10 times since then. I'll let you know how it goes

alright the clean install went swimmingly. now i'm stuck trying to install miui epic 4g rom which is why i started doing this in the first place. all i've done since the clean install was install cwm rom and i tried to install the rom that way. only it freezes the phone and doesn't reboot into cwm recovery.

oh, the reason is I don't have cwm installed. looked on this thread and they don't have it for my build (f122). What's my best/cleanest option for loading this rom?

Where are you getting CWM from? Did you get the Agat's Repack .tar file and flash by Odin as recommended?
If not please try to get back into Odin, restart and do only:
1) Flash the one click again to give yourself a clean slate
2) Download Agat's recovery .tar here. Don't worry about the kernel, it's the same between Sprint, Boost and Virgin.
3) Turn on USB debugging and hit "adb reboot download" or Vol. Down + Power to get into Odin mode.
If you need Odin 3.04 there should be a link in my post for it. If not I'll give it to you again.
4) Flash Agat's recovery in Odin.
5) Hold Vol. Up + Power or "adb reboot recovery" to get into his recovery.
Can you also send a link to the MIUI build you're trying? Let's make sure it's the right one.
*Edit* Just saw your post. Skip #1 and start with #2.

MIUI.us_E4GT_v4.1_2.11.16.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_AdhvanIt that's the version. I haven't done anything since I put the clean sph-d710bst back on it. Really wish I could keep the stock kernel with it rooted and a recovery/bootloader on it. Right now i'm more considering installing the ff18 cwm with the autoroot tool

if you put together the stock kernel do you think you can repackage it with cwm? that would be pretty sweet

That's what Agat's repacked kernels are. Since kernels and recovery are a single pkg for this device he unpacks the stock one and adds a custom recovery (just like CWM) and repacks it for flashing. It will trigger the yellow triangle but Triangle Away will fix that for you. Acts like stock because it is... all except for recovery.

The problem with using AGATS is there isn't one specific to this phone, which is the only one boost users should really have. Is there any way anybody could repackage this with cwm?

The kernels for boost, virgin and sprint galaxy s2 are all identical. The source is the same so using a stock/repacked sprint kernel is no different than using a stock/repacked boost kernel. Hence why no one takes the time to repack the same exact kernel 3 times with 3 different carrier names stuck on it.

This one has already been repacked rooted with super user. Follow the link in garwynns post and you can find it there. And as I said, AGAT doesn't have one for sph-d710. I'm only requesting it because an almost fully moddable version has already been made. All that's needed is cwm added to the version garwynn made.

So there's no way anybody can do this? Would become the standard download for boost galaxy s2 users. I'll send 10 bucks to anybody who does it (paypal)

I offered in the development forum, this thread is dead. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34550610#post34550610 here's new one.

Hey, I just installed the T889UVALL4 update, which fixes the Exynos exploit. I had my phone rooted before the update but then I had to UNroot it to even install or to see the update. So I wanted to know if I can still root with the same method as I did before using Odin and install CWM recovery with out bricking my device.
Unless there's a new root.

I try connecting to Kies but that wont connect. I am a noob in need of an expert. Right when I was starting to think I had a grasp of Android, I'm stuck. I'm on stock everything 4.1.1 and T889UVALK8

You Should Download and Flash A Custom Recovery For Your Note 2, Like CWM Or TWRP Through Odin. Then You Should Be Able To Flash A Newer Radio Or ROM.
Are You Looking For An OTA Update From Tmo?

MarDog said:
I was notified there was an update available. I was rooted using CF auto root and after unrooting Super SU, I cannot get the update. It just says checking for updates... I try connecting to Kies but that wont connect. I am a noob in need of an expert. Right when I was starting to think I had a grasp of Android, I'm stuck. I'm on stock everything 4.1.1 and T889UVALK8
HELP!!

update : Kies worked finally somehow. Not sure why it wasn't working the 10 other times I tried. Problem solved!

Probably Wasn't Properly Connecting To Kies. Glad It's Ok Now.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but why can't I roam over to ATT? I have a Tmo value plan (post-paid unlimited) and when I'm in my companies datacenter, my Tmo connection is very poor- to the point where I miss calls and texts sometimes don't come through. I try manually choosing ATT from the provider list but it reports "not registered".
Am I doing something wrong? I should be able to roam over to ATT, right??

This is weird... i flashed CWM using ODIN and everything was fine... flashed a few roms and made backups just fine! This morning i went to flash the new MYROM- revolution and i boot in to CWM and press the "wipe data/factory reset" option and it would RESTART the recovery! i went to restore my current settings and it fell in to a boot loop. i flashed the CWM again via TOOLBOX/ODIN and still the same!!! i restored my original rom ( factory with root) and it booted but now i'm nervous to try anything im using the 6.0.2.7 version (the one that comes with the ROM manager app ). has anyone run into this kind of trouble??? any help would be appreciated!!!

Change your recovery to TWRP. Forget that "old" CWM....Too many problems with it.

Did you try to install it with GALAXY NOTE2 TOOLKIT?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720
Never had any problems with that, so give it a go....

Quasi-bricked GN2 ... help please.
Hello -
I'm rooted and I was trying to install a different system font using Font Installer * Root * .
I followed the apps instructions and wound up with a bunch of Korean instead of where I thought the new font should be.
I then tried to re-boot and got stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have since tried to wipe / factory reset and flash the stock rom to no avail.
I have a Nandroid backup I created with Galaxy Note 2 Tool Kit but I don't know hot to re-install it.
Everything stops at the Samsung screen.
Help!
Thanks.
UPDATE: It's official -- I'm bricked. After hours of searching these fora it appears I need a Samsung signed stock 4.1.2 rom as I'm getting the "E:Signature verification failed" error and teshxx's ROM doesn't appear to be signed (is that correct?)
I'm stuck with the stock recovery and I really can't see any way out.
HELP please!

Question
If I have a tmobile note2 unlocked to use on AT&T and want to root and install Roms will it break the unlock? Where I have to have it unlocked again? I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find an answer except on really old phones.

Problem I can not start 4.3 ROM! PLEASE HELP!

I had this problem with every ROM, when you load the boot animation to give his first vibration when you start to put your information, freezes and restarts. restarted like 5 times. download all the 4.3 Roms to the forum t989 but all feel the same.

I had a issue sorta like yours and I think had bad download of recovery I was using. I went through everything like you did and even used ODIN to back to stock reflashed and same problems. I switch versions of Recovery and retried and everything is smooth since.

Here a picture with TWRP 2.6.1.0 and I think a clean install
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Hmmm this is weird. Flash your recovery thru Odin again and try it then

I am on TWRP 2.6.1.0 as well.
I install the rom only no gapps or anything extra and let it boot and see what happens.
I know it may not be poss now but you could try taking out your ext-sd card and simm card and boot just from the internal drive.
I don't know that it would help but it can't hurt and it reduces variables.

If you have tried a differnt version of TWRP and differnt 4.3 roms all on a clean install, I don't know what else to recommend.

Hey i have the exact same problem! idk what happened, it's fine on 4.1.2 but right when i update to 4.2.2, not even 4.3 it does the exact same thing! any devs have any ideas? idk if a logcat will help in this case

why not just use another recovery like cwm and see if it works with that one.

You need completely wipe everything in order to flash a 4.3 ROM for the first time some times.

try another board that had saved because it has the USB damaged. try to set you up for the 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and also gave me freeze and reboot. and wipe everything very well. I can not be!. but a problem has to see. do not know if I can be my navigation buttons are damaged (broken wire). believe you can be what makes my phone restart?

I had this issue i just updated my twrp. Maybe you should download TWRP from a different source? Maybe the one you have is corrupted or something . IDK try everything.

this doesn't help any, just wanted to confirm the same issue. Anytime I flash ROM above 4.1.2 on this phone it crashes in some way. any custom ROM
