Wife switched to evo... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife got the evo today so we are going to sell the epic but Idk how to to get it back to stock or the official update...its unrooted with stock dk28 and I want to get it back to either eclair or official froyo but all I have at the moment is a MacBook so I'm wondering if there is anyway I can run Odin through a virtual machine with win7 or XP or if I should just borrow a PC for this job...trying to save some extra money for a baby on the way so any help is much appreciated

I thnk there is an app called heimdall for macs.

heimdall does not work for the epic on macs. works great on a pc though. your best bet is using a library pc or a friends pc.

Agreed put odin and pit and tar file on usb and go to library or a friends place

VirtualBox with Windows XP should work with Odin.

First of all why is your wife making the decisons of what kind of phone you have? Secondly is if she is already making you switch phones wait till that baby pops she will be telling you what underwear to wear or does she already? I have a baby too and I got my epic brand New when my wife was pregnant so I've been in the situation recently enough. Just sayin man your gonna have it REAL BAD SOON.

USB Charging But No Data?

Hey, guys. I am pretty much feeling like this is a broken USB port, but here is a quick run down.
Flashed up to an EG22 based ROM a while ago, and flashed the modem via odin. This was a WHILE ago. And have flashed a few roms since then.
Soooo, here is my dilemma: Somewhere along the lines, I have lost any kind of data connectivity. Charging works fine, and I have tried this on a few other cables (stock, and a Western Digital external hard drive cable, and one 24 dollar cable from radio shack - i was desperate).
So, I am figuring that this is a bad USB port. Stupid. In order to do an insurance claim and get a new phone (thinking about going to a Nexus S 4G, since it is this phone's "equivalent"... I think) I have to have this thing back on an EC05 modem, or else I bite the cost of the phone.
any ideas, guys? I did QBKing77's full reset trick, still on EG22. That was my last effort after flashing a bunch of different ROMs.
Thanks again!
Sprint won't care if your rooted. I bet they wouldn't even check it in the first place. Take it in. But first, get something really small (q-tip) and put some alcohol (isopropyl) and clean out the port with the phone turned off. This is a galaxy s problem, happens
There is currently no way to change your modem from anything other than EB13 without Odin or Heimdall. Sorry. Just bring it in.

I had the sameeee exact problem and did everything I could but my phones usb port was just broken lol
This is what I did
there is a rom that will make ur phone look like stock ec05
Its over here in the development section look for something like "stock ec05 refs rom" or something like that
But the thing iss that I was stuck on eh17 no eg22
But that rom worked for me
I'm not sure if it'll work on eg22 but hopefully it will just download it on ur phone and flash it and just give it back it'll look completely stock

I'm having almost the same issue here, as my phone can charge through the USB, but it won't detect it as mass storage mode (debug mode run well, though..)
I can run usb tethering too, but only the mass storage mode doesn't work..
I have try using another cable, going to other ROM, but still no effect, and now I'm using a card reader to read my SD card, which is quite lame.. -_-

Came from OG evo to e4gt

Ive been reading on xda ever since i had a hero and rooted it using some guides on here and decided i would finally post lol. Upgraded my evo to e4gt on 28th of sept and havent looked back.
I rooted it last night using crawrj deodexed with busybox and its been running great so props for that. I have only experienced LOS twice since i have had my phone but those were instances that i was actually out of signal and it came back once i was out of the deadzone. So overall i love the e4gt compared to my evo .
Anyone else come from the evo to the e4gt? Also after rooting this phone any sweet mods that are must have yet? Thanks

I, too, came from the EVO4G to the E4GT. If you're having LoS issues try the LoST Kernel and if you wanna try a custom ROM try out Calkulin's (new but my favorite), ViperROM or StarBurst.

I came from EVO4G (which I absolutely loved) to EVO3D (HATED except for the 3D) to E4GT and this phone by far is the best one of all three.
I loved my evo 4g as well, my fiancee is using it now as i added a second line and moved my number to the new phone (e4gt) and gave her the evo . I do have a question, i odined this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282415
and i am trying to make sure this did not change my kernel. I was completely stock before this so by what i read in his thread i should still have the kernel the phone came with correct?
My next question is can i odin this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305099
which would be the same kernel i have at the moment but with root and cwm because i am currently rooted now correct?

The first one contains no kernel, so it's definitly stock, just rooted.
second is stock also.
Okay so the second one would keep root but add cwm. Thanks
okay so now i am rooted with cwm5 and stock pulled kernel with no yellow triangle on splash screen, thanks for the help guys
I started out with the HTC Hero as well, i upgraded to the HTC Evo and i loved it but i wanted the Evo Shift so not too much of a change there. But i got this phone about october 25 and i never looked back once, what an amazing phone this is, sure it feel like plastic but thats because they wanted a light weight phone.
I just rooted for the first time two nights ago and been having issues with media because of a file ".nomedia" that file tends to stop the SD scan so it skips over pictures, music and other things but since i removed it i can play music and see my pictures again except a few that the file locked them some how. but Since Calkulin came in the picture to E4GT that made the E4GT a much better phone :-D
Lol ya, i was kind of scared to root at first because of all the LOS reports after rooting but once they came out with the stock pulled with cwm its all good now really no reason not to root and boy do i love odin, makes life easy compared to when i first rooted the hero and evo by using command prompt and adb lol..... This phone is great, no actual LOS issues for me but i hope samsung/sprint release an update so everyone can enjoy the phone for what a beast it is.

lol i agree, i was thinking this odin stuff was going to be confusing, since i knew HTC phone used HTC sync for phone drivers. but when i found out needed samsung kies on the PC to get the drivers and started up odin it was a breeze, never thought rooting could be so easy. Since rooting the HTC Evo Shift from 2.3.3 was a PAIN where had to downgrade the Hboot.
I had one incident where i lost signal but that was the kernal i tested for a sec, i ended up going back to LoStKernelExp+ which is the bomb and glad Clakulin decided to use it.
I just came to the E4GT from the OG Evo myself, it's amazing. CM7 was nice but the blazing speed on this thing really is something to behold!
Guys OG Evo owner here myself... I still have both phone as I love them equally now. So I just flashed one of the OG Evos best developers roms... Caulkin is making roms for us guys so check it out here
The good ole days are back...lol
Going to get the E4GT today. Charging circuit went to hell on my EVO and it's way out of warranty. I can pay the $100 insurance deductible and get a refurbed EVO, or upgrade with $90 buyback on the EVO and get the E4GT for $110.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
For those of us OG Evo folks who moved to the E4GT, how do you root it without getting LOS?
I have never gotten LOS on my E4GT & that has been what has given me pause in rooting. i really miss TI backup & a few other pieces of software. Teather would be nice too (Granted the web browsing speeds are too damm slow to bother).
Anyone want to point me in an OG Evo friendly direction on what & how to do it all?
I am starting to feel like I might join the Verizon bandwagon with the NP. I am getting sick of the unusable data speeds.
Thanks,
Rich
check out my original post on this thread, it has both .tars that i used to odin onto my phone to get root+stock pulled kernel + CWM5 and you should be set. LOS is not really caused by root, its an underlying problem in the hardware/software from what ive read on the forum and some kernels can cause it to happen more often and others less often. I am using the stock pulled kernel which is the exact same that is on unrooted phones so if you get LOS with that you would have gotten it with no root as well.

[Q] to those on boost mobile

hey folks i put my og epic on boost mobile about 10 months ago and well today it broke but it gives me a perfect excuse to come to the epic touch so im going to buy one tonight , but after doing a good amount of reading today i gotta say im a little bit nervous about it , i have heard of all sorts of problems like data and apn settings not sticking and going back to their originals every time you restart the phone to a thread i read that said someone rooted their phone and was no longer able to send mms , ive been through it all with the og epic and if its really just the same process as the old one then i should be fine but i am trying to find out some people who have there epic touch on boost who are active in the forums who i can ask for assistance if i need it , what im basically going for is rooted and deodexed with maddoggins lockscreens (love that guy) and if i can get to that point i can start putting themes together
anyways thanks and any responses would be appriciated
well i got the phone :-D its already rooted so hopefully thats a good thing its running 2.3.6 el29 looks like stock kernel , i was really hoping for feedback but here goes ...
oh yeah i will be following these directions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419488&highlight=boost
CORRECTION ... i am experiencing shenanigans since the sanyo 6760 usb drivers will not install on a 64 bit OS and all 3 computers here are 64 bit ... i guess i will have to do this tomorrow so i would still like to say that before i get started any experience from anyone thats done this would be greatly appriciated !!!
I don't think your being ignored just havent seen boost stuff around these parts for a while, although I think I saw a how to a while back for boost users may just do a search and hope for the best gl!

not many people trying to do this with the epic touch so you may have to try to look at some other avenues to get this going. Best of luck to you

Hard Bricked...

So being the idiot I am, I accidentally hard-bricked my phone because I was flashing back to stock via ODIN, but I happened to install the file that was for my OG Epic (I happened to flash it yesterday) because I saw D700 and automatically assumed it was for my E4GT.
Now I cannot boot into recovery or download and the only thing that happens it he blue LED lights up.
Can someone please explain to me the possible solutions that might work for this?
Thanks in advance.
Is there any connection being made from the computer to the device?
do you know how to open device manager?
Nope, no connection and yes I do.
my guess is if odin doesn't recognize it try using different usb cords. if not jtag might be your only way out. unless you go to sprint and play dumb with a good excuse. sorry to hear that.
I'm gonna go to the Sprint store and play dumb tomorrow. I went today right before it closed and they said that they would have to run diagnostics and open it up. I think they would figure out it was rooted and just give it back to me though.

How long have you had it?
If less than a year.
This is what you will say:
Hi, I was using my phone last night talking to my gf/bf whatever the hell you swing. and suddendly it powered off it. I did notice the phone was getting pretty "hot". At first I thought it was the battery that it died. but when I plugged it into the charger nothing happened and thats why im here.
its still under manufacturer warranty so theres no ****in way they will say no they cant.
Yeah I've only had it for less than 2 months, so I think that they should replace it.
yes so trust me just do what i said and youll have a new phone
I have a question I was flashing Odin3v1.85 and instead of pda,i click bootloader and flash tar file kernel,so now im stuck at galaxysII screen and when i go into recovery its says volume path not found,any help for a fix,thanks in advance.

If you can get back into odin mode my guess would be try to flash back to stock and make sure you put it in the pda and also make sure nothing is checked except for auto reboot. Follow qbking's video on how to unroot/unbrick. This is like I said though assuming you can still get into download mode.
thats what i was thinking of trying,and yes i can get in download mode.
I think I had a bad download flashing a theme. I couldn't get into recovery or Odin and trust me I tried a lot. All I had was a blue light. Took it to a Sprint repair store and said it died charging over night. They tried to bring her back but couldn't. They swapped it out. I know I got lucky. Glad I didn't cancel my insurance. Lol

I actually made that exact same mistake the day I got this phone. I upgraded from the OG epic and just double-clicked the wrong file and didn't check before starting odin. since then I replaced phone, bought a $5 jig online and tested it by making the same mistake on purpose and BOOM!... download mode
I recommend the jig to all my friends with samsung android phones now. it allows you to be a retard
Update: Well today I went to the sprint store and played dumb and told them it just stopped working. They took it in and tried fixing it but couldn't so they ordered a replacement one for me for free So to anyone who's thinking of playing dumb at sprint, try it out, hahahahah
I just hate getting refurbs tho, they always burn in the screen.
I've been lucky,, I well say when my phone was new, got extremely hot all the time.but I've had for 6 months so far.

How you got into this...

Well i was sitting back wondering how i got into rooting phones and decided to post this, How did you guys get into modding, rooting phones and when you started?
Well i got into this just before i got my tablet, which was a coby kryos, and it wasnt very good and didnt have the android market, so i did some research and found a website, and proceeded to do this thing called rooting. after it was all said and done, i thought i was done messing around with the phone, but then i find out about this other OS that is android but runs a little better than the stock rooted OS. Called Cyanogen mod 7. followed the instructions and it worked. so i took it further and rooted my phone i had at the time, the intercept. Thus this addiction was formed.
Everyday i would look to see if there was an update for my phone. or a updated version of cm7. Once i found out that there wasnt really a big community for either the kyros or the intercept i decided to go to a galaxy phone. took my sisters upgrade and got the E4gT. and since then its almost been smooth sailing for rooting, etc.
Now i am to the point where i want to start developing roms and what not, just have to get the courage to start such a big project.
How did you guys start with this? Whats your story? Keep us occupied while we wait for source and leaks.
Well I started all the way back from the sony psp days, I was super desperate to play final fantasy 7 and wasn't willing to buy my 3rd ps2 just to play it and the thought of it being portable and play it anywhere is too good to pass up, then learned how to start flashing custom firmwares for it, then moved to jailbreaking ipod touches(yes I had three) but jailbreaking is annoying, i actually had to go leaps and bounds just to make it do what android is capable of as stock(play any videos format, flash content, download anything online,etc) so just decided to buy my first android the galaxy s fascinate(redhead step child of the galaxy s line) and now here
i went to sprint and i had the choise to get a I-SUCK OR A galaxyi got a galaxy never like apples i saw videos on youtube of people modding the galaxy so i gave a try and here im learning
well for started i almost bricked my phone the first day lol tell how i came here and i went to the galaxy s2 forum not epic 4g touch.. lucky i figure it out that i was in the wrong forum and i came here and use sfhub one click l29 since i follow his instruction never had a problem again...
My first android phone was the HTC Hero. It got a couple updates and the last one sucked. It was horrible. Phone was super laggy and froze all the time. By then Gingerbread was out and Spirit said the phone would not run it. Did some research here on XDA and found people running GB who said the phone was much faster and more responsive. Did a bunch more reading to make sure I knew what I was doing and flashed a GB Rom. It was much better and had all kinds of new features.
Had to run the stock rom on this phone for awhile, but as soon as I found an easy way to root and mod it (thanks Sfhub), I flashed a custom Rom and never went back. I doubt if I will ever use a stock Rom again. I'll be getting a GS3 in September and there will be many great Rom choices by then. No doubt I will root it the day I buy it.This thread was a good idea. Thanks
How i started rooting phones, thank the htc touch pro for that. Ive used developers talents to modify 4 different platforms ;windows mobile palm,apple (ipad) and now my second android

i think its a great hobby too. Even when im doing other hobbies, i seem to sneak away and go on premium and look around. i know theres flashaholics, well i think im more of a xdaholic.
and everytime i see people with android phones, i try to explain to them that they dont have full advantage of their phone, then i tell them to come here. most of them do some of them dont. This is a great community and the more the merrier. its always nice to be able to ask things about your phone with other people that have your phone. anyways continue...

Mightymike use to have the best roms. When he released roms his servers would crash. Nrg would come out with the latest and greatest for EVERY phone. Thats where sense started and always was memory hog. Back when xda was mainly a gsm website. Cdma people were all at ppcgeeks. I still see a few guys every now and then from ppcgeeks.

I used to have a Motorola hint. Always tried to play games, but no luck. Started learning about unlocking and got Motorola phone tools. I was able to fix my phone after I thought I killed it sideloading music onto my sd card. After that, me and my honey got Ascends, and I wanted to be able to fix my phone if I did something...stupid. read a bunch on rooting and one day, I took the plunge. I was a little apprehensive about voiding my warranty, but loved being rooted and Rom'ed. Got my Ascend 2 in December and rooted that. Then my buddy gave me his old HTC mytouch3g Fender edition. That was a beast to root, but I finally got it. Just waiting to save up for a better phone now...must mod!!! That's my story.

How I got into this
I've been reading about flashing and rooting ever since I got an evo 4g 2 yrs ago. Upgraded to the evo 3d and it came with a defective screen. I Ordered a Epic touch 4g to replace it and I got tired of all the b.s. about ics and decided to root. I can't believe I waited so long to do it. The bottom line is a week ago I flashed my 1st Rom using Odin one click, thank u qbking77, sfhub, sextape, chainfire , and everybody else who helped.Now I'm running cm9 nightlies after trying stock ff02 and ff11 and couldnt be happier. Im hooked. I rooted my girls evo earlier (s off and all) just to quench my thirst for a new rom to play with. I got a little to used to holding an evo again and accidently walked out the door with it on my way to work,lol. She's probably looking all over for the phone right now! Sorry honey. Hopefully she checks her email or fb on the PC ( cant call her) and sees my messages b4 she ends up tearing the house apart.
I have always been messing with everything electronic since I can remember. My dad worked on PC's so they where always around. I started really getting into phones with my Samsung a900 back in 05. I made a website on my home server that it could go to so I could side load apps and ring tones to it. Then I went on to WM and it just never stopped.
i had the HTC hero and wanted live wallpaper but i couldn't on stock so i rooted and ended up running cm7

Yeah I've been working on computers since I was a little kid. I remember helping my dad build his comp. When I was like 8. So I've been into computers for awhile. But i never had a forum I went to as much as this one. Even right now as I wait to go to work I'm on here 3-4am. Fb doesn't even get this much attention. Lol continue...

I've always tinkered with electronics since I was little. Pissed my dad off a number of times taking apart computers and frying the HDD (didn't know static=bad day for a HDD when I was that little). I moved on to software from there. All of it is self taught the hard way or from the magic of Google. Eventually I got a Blackberry and started flashing "hybrid" setups on them until Android came out. My first Android was the MyTouch 3G Slide. I learned a lot from that phone before I moved to a G2. Overclocking a phone to 2GHz+ was just insane It was like having a nuclear reactor in my pocket. Now here I am. I've progressed to being able to decompile apk's, do what I want, and recompile a working app. We'll see what the future holds.
Good luck to every other aspiring dev on here. Don't get discouraged by any complexity or any trolls on here. I promise you're probably over thinking most things and trolls are just trolls.
Mytouch 3g. HTC decided to skip the 2.1 update and make me wait longer for 2.2 I took matters into my own hands. Thought I messed up when it got stuck at the splash screen. Turns out I missed the gapps file.(used to have to flash it before cm). After that all my phones were rooted within 24 hrs. G2,Mt4g, g2x, nexus s, and now my et4g. Unofficialy updated the dell streak 7 to honeycomb. And am currently trying to convince the gf that I won't turn the transformer prime into a $500 brick.
