This right here. It requires drivers for the phone to work correctly oddly enough... I'd have never guessed it beforehand myself either..

This is exactly what I can't stand now he won't even get back on tell us if he fixed it or not ....lame

"Rocket surgery"... Lol didn't know there was such a thing haha

Since you are on EL 29 you should be able to use the exynos exploit to obtain root without a computer by using the apk in the thread below.

I have two d710 and I too would like to know if there is a way to root with out a computer. Currently one of my d710 does not charge(I have to remove battery and charge the battery separately from device, its not so bad I have multiple batteries).
I have tried different cables to no profit. I have one of my D710 rooted rocking CM11. But would love to be able to root the wife's phone to.

Not a newb....not new to flashing...but really need help

I have flashed hundreds....and I am honestly telling you hundreds of phones and times and this is the first time I have gotten stuck...problem is this time it isn't my phone.
I had a co-worker ask me to help him with his SGS 2....took me a few to realize that his Sprint SGS 2 is actually the epic 4g or 4g touch....but anyway I made a back up through his recovery and then did a factory reset, cache wipe, system format, and davlik wipe before trying to flash AOKP 34 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565994
Well the flash failed with a status 7...tried to restore the backup but it says there are no files. If you try to boot it just sticks at the Samsung logo....I can get into Odin mode but no computers so far have recognized the device. The other problem is so how is CWM is gone and I am left with what I assume is the stock recovery....you know the whole signature required stuff.
What can I do to get this back to working again?

Your a n00b if you don't know questions go in q&a.

SPH-D710 = Epic 4G Touch
SPH-D700 = Epic 4G
Two different phones. Luckily, I own both.
What you should do:
1. Download Epic 4G Touch drivers
2. Use a non-stock cable
3. Download Odin for the touch
4. Download an Odin tar for the latest E4GT stock (EL29 I think)
5. Run Odin as admin
6 Reboot download mode
7. Plug phone in slowly to a back port on a desktop if possible
8. Put the Epic Touch pit in the pit section (NOT victory 8g)
9. Put EL29 in the PDA slot
10. Start Odin

Windows Odin 3.07

First off I apologize if this is posted already but I searched and didn't see it. I ran across this on google yesterday when I was messing with my phone. It is the latest version of Odin for Windows. Not sure what the differences are other than some additional options, which I don't know if we can use yet So here it is if you want to try it out.

Have to watch this one. I asked about using this in a couple of threads a while back. All I heard was crickets. Probably stick with 1.85 anyway, if it ain't broke..

Ok I have been screwing around with it for about an hour and it does seem a little buggy. I was able to flash several .tar files but for some reason it had a little trouble with sfhub's el29 tar. When I tried to flash it I got the same thing you did. I flashed a different tar and it worked. Came back to his to test again and it worked. On a side note is there not an EL29 stock tar out? I can't find one that is a full stock tar that deletes data and everything?

I understand that. Unfortunately I am a habitual updater. I have to have the latest versions. Detrimental at times for sure but I can't help it

They must have changed something in how they use the underlying images in the tar file. Since 1.85 works fine, it isn't highest on the priority list to figure out what they changed right now.
There should be a link to the EL29 tar that was leaked from Samsung in 2nd or 3rd post of the EL29 ODIN thread, but I'm not sure if the end link is still active. It has been a while and megaupload and lots of file lockers got shutdown in between.

download for my PC reinstalled. thanks

A while back I tried the 3.04 version and it hung on a .tar too.
Had to use one of sfhub's One-Clicks to get my phone back.
So being very much in need of a working phone I just figured it's not ready for prime time and left it alone.
Maybe someone with more intimate knowledge can find some documentation as to it's underpinings and changes.
Thanks for the find. I may try this later when I'm feeling bored with a working phone. ;-P

ty for the find though; its much appreciated 8^)

I'm coming from being a heavy htc user. What is the benefits of having these files. What can these files do that source code cannot?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

This is the bone stock file that. Ame loaded on the phone. These will fix most problems people run in to. They have the modem, system, bootloader, and cache.

So odin files is to Samsung as ruu is to htc? Any hope for multi task screen Or should I not count on it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I believe so. These are exactly what came on the phone. So no multitasking yet.

Yup, just like an RUU. It won't really have anything to do with multiview, but with the files available, devs can get a little more creative and try new things without worrying about having no way to bring the phone back if they mess up. So that could potentially get people working on multiview.

No. This is in case you mess up your phone flashing or need to go back to stock for returns or warranty purposes.

Just to make sure, should I download this firmware or just leave it alone. I really don't wanna mess up this device lol Thanks but I'm new to this kinda stuff

If you download it, you only need it on your desktop along with a copy of ODIN. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, disregard.

Hard Bricked?

I accidentally flashed a pit file in Odin which I think was made for a Galaxy Vibrant, my other phone.
The phone wont boot at all. When I plug it into the computer, the computer makes noise like it registers it though. The normal 'ding' sound followed by an error-like sound.
Is there any fix?

And I want you to know that I was laughing at Rushing's comment, not your dilemma. I'm sorry you bricked your phone. If this does not get moved to the Q&A section soon, you may want to ask the question again there. I'm sure someone will chime in there with helpful comments, even if it's just to confirm that you need a new phone. I've never had to deal with more than a soft brick, so I'm not sure if a jig will help you or not.

You screwed your phone. You flashed a vibrant file on a T989. I've done this mistake when I was a super noobie thinking a "galaxy s2" name applied to all of them and I flashed a I9100 on my T989. I enjoyed a night of disappointment before I was able to call and finally get my replacement sent (it was under 20 days, thank god!) if your not so lucky, your screwed. However if they will accept it and return it they wont question you at all as long as you are super-hard bricked and cant boot or get into download mode or anything.

If you happened to change the recovery via odin, which I think you did, for something that ain't xompatible with our phone, yes you're done.
Nothing can be done sadly
