So would any of our Detroit area members that have a PC (or know Macs) like to have a new friend and help a newbie that only has a Mac out?
I live in Livonia, MI and do not have access to a PC. I have tried and tried to get heimdall to work, but do not know enough about computers or Macs to figure out why. I would like to try out other ROM's but since I have no access to Odin, I cannot do some of the things that are required for the new roms.
Is there anyone close that could either help me out or direct me to someone that could get heimdall working on my Mac?
While being bored and wondering if I did something to screw up my Epic, I decided to flash the Stock EC05 ROM from Drockstar (thanks alot for that) and see if it would auto update the PRL (it didn't, but Sprint site was down)
So while on this ROM, decided to see if I could manually update the PRL which I could not be before. I DID
Since this worked, I decided to see if ODIN would work also. IT DID
So I do not know what I did to my Epic that made it impossible for a PC to recognize it.
I do know that I really appreciate the developers and members that post here and would like to thank everyone.
PS Still somewhat computer/Mac illiterate and would like help with heimdall on my Mac
I would have helped you when I lived in novi but I live in lansing now.

Heimdall for Mac doesn't work with the Epic. Something Samsung did with the secondary boot loader messed it up. It does, however, work beautifully on Windows and Linux.

why are you making multiple threads about the same thing?
Yeah man...just use Odin and go back to stock D118...fairly easy.
@ luvjones305
I would've expected someone who has been here almost a year to know how to search or at least not to spam the forum with reposts.
The "official update" will probably suck anyways. I would just wait until one of the developers has a ROM ready. I'm sure it wont be long
uh huh
first of all yea i signed up a year ago it don't mean im on here 24 hours like i don't have a life an if you cant help don't post nothing on here go cry some were else an i already search through here
It is physically painful to read your posts, I mean come on "yea"? Seriously? And that wouldn't even be such a big deal if you weren't a total prick to everyone, whether they were legitimately trying to help you or not. I am hard pressed to think of anyone who is anywhere near as big a prick as you manage to come across as (assuming you're actually not a total prick when not protected by the anonymity of the "interwebs").

So that means the forums are segregated now? Gotta stay with your own kind and can't look at what's going on with other devices? I'm all over the sgs family, nexus boys, general, android and ot. It's kinda nice seeing dev from all over. Integration is good.
I don't deny that, just trying to avoid the off chance someone flashes a Rom not for their Galaxy S variant and has a "DOH!"moment
Haha hell no man. I've already spent the 2 bucks at radio shack for my jig. Only had to use it once. I mostly just trawl the themes and apps for other sgs's but I love watching people loose their minds when an ota hits like the op here. Lots of craziness in general for yall right now.

Sprint tv is free for sprint customers, ive been using it for about a year with no problems on a flashed epic. They recently changed it to search for shows based on your location, which is where it errors out for me, so i dont think it would be "cracking" but more just making it work with our "sprint" phones (after all, we pay for the service). I WOULD LOVE THIS!!!! someone smarter than me please help!

Do all Gingerbread roms remove Sprint TV - if so, is it possible to get back, or is there no room in the rom and that is why it is taken out?

I saw Sprint TV in the market, under the sprint section, just the other day. Stock GB. I don't use Sprint TV so I didn't download it, but maybe you can find it in the Market to install.
I found a way to get it to work. Turn on Wifi Launch it. It will ask to turn off wifi and then launch very odd. Otherwise it wants to download an update and it fails on install. If someone has a newer one that would be great.

I figure to keep people from posting threads after threads saying "please help I bricked my epic" I figured it be easier to have someone do it for them. Since I have plenty of time I figured I do this. If you would like me to root your device simply pm and I will give you instructions on how I will remotely control your pc (if I do it remotely then make sure you have a nonstock usb cable for example a blackberry micro usb) or you can send it to me. If you send via ups etc then you'll be paying for back and forth.*Disclaimer*if anything happens which more than likely WON'T its not my fault BUT will try my best to fix it.
I doubt this will take off but why not put it out there.

Not a bad idea... in my opinion if you can't figure out how to root it you don't need it rooted though. The rooting methods are easy enough and qbking has made some easy to follow videos for everybody... my 12 year old niece rooted her epic following the video and she is no techie in any way! If she can do it everybody can! Not a hit to you though. I commend your efforts!

While I applaud the objective of your kind motives, I have to say that if someone can't root their phone on their own, they don't need it rooted. You have to be able to troubleshoot to fix problems, which requires an understanding of what is happening on your device.

Id say thats noble, but i agree that if you can't learn to root it yourself then you don't really understand the gravity of what root access is capable of.
Second, if I send you my phone, and you root it, flash CWM and brick it them I'm SOL... And if it works before you touch it, but not after, then it would totally be your fault. You may not be liable, but your hands make it your fault.
anyhow cool idea, maybe find a way to guarantee or insure your work and i bet people would pay 10 or 20 bucks for rooting.

I will accept this answer and give you one thanks, sir.
Wow. Reminds me of the 3vo vs Evo 3D stuff.
Well, the only reason I say anything is that it's fairly easy to mistake a SGS2 with a SGS2 E4GT for kernels and you could mess up your phone. So if it's common place to say ET4G where there is already something called the Epic Touch (without the 4G), there might be confusion. I'm just trying to help out and ask why people might be switching them around.
Touch G4 S Epic Galaxy Samsung.
It's the right thread....dun bother me, Ah know where I'm at..
-SGS2_Calkulin's v2.8 ROM
-Overstew ICS theme v2.2
-ssconceptz ICS Camera v1.0

I was raised to be polite so thank you for your kindness
Personally after getting my feet fully into android with this being my first android phone, i think its a good differentiation from other carriers' models of the SGSII. Its much easier to search for Epic Touch, E4GT, ET4G, etc than the other models. I can definitely see where confusion would come from downloading the wrong modem, kernal, etc but I bet it will be worse with the longer names as they try to top this device. Those long names can be truncated, especially when viewing them on the phone.

Oh, are you talking about BWM?
I just don't like calling it e4gt. I'd rather say et4g. Like saying black cat in English but cat black in Spanish. Negro el gato. Evo touch 4g, nexus s 4g. 4g is usually at the end. To me, saying it the way its "supposed" to be said, sounds awkward or clumsy. Whatever. I gave up correcting people on words, grammar and spelling a long time ago. Its a losing battle and you don't have to think too much to understand what they are saying.
