(Q)EH17 root and recovery - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I odined my phone with the odexed stock rooted eh17 with purple cwm. Eh 17 is acting a lot crazier than eh06 did. I have a problem with charging the phone the red led doesn't always light up but the phone is charging so that's not a big deal. What is making me nuts is if I plug it in while off sometimes it just boots into stock recovery however the 3 finger salute gets me into clockwork recovery. Question is, why is it going to stock recovery. Does that stay in the phone when you flash clockwork. I was under the impression it was overwritten and I have never seen it on any other ROMs and believe me when I say I have flashed every one on in this forum.

Sounds like you need a reflash. And yes the stock recovery is still in there. If you check most custom recoverys there is usually and option to reboot into recovery which woul take you to the stock one.

[Q] Dual Recoveries?

Not sure how it happened...well I do know....Flashed offical CWM for ROM Manager, but didnt think it took because it said I need a CWM compatible kernel. And then i used E4gtauto to add CWM-rogue because i didnt think I had it....so today when i booted into recovery from ROM toolbox, it went to CWM, did a nand and rebooted, but it booted into Rogue...? How can I get rid of one of them?
The nand you restored had a kernel with rogue on it. You should only have rogue on there now.
And I don't know if others feel this way, but I always only use the built in reboot menu or volume and power buttons(from off state) to go into recoveries and download mode, reduces issues

Please do yourself a favor and never ever use rom manager on this phone again, it will give you some shiny paperweight eventually
Thanks for the heads up, but what about ROM toolbox? It seems to be fine even rebooting into recovery among other things...

I know this Is a simple question,

I just flashed the fh13 ota zip which has the normal stock recovery and I want to try flashing agat's kernel/recovery but last time I tried to flash the FI03 ROM and agat's tFI03 kernel my phone wouldn't boot. I tried both the .tar and .zip and my phone just hung at the 4g splashscreen. I was able to use my backup to restore back to a working setup. But with the stock recovery i no longer have that option obviously so what options do i have to cover my ass if something goes wrong?

Going from ics to gb

So basically I was having issues with my phone and ended up getting a warranty replacement. So b4 I sent my old one back I needed to revert it back to stock. I found a flashable zip from zedomax that returned the stock kernel, recovery, and ROM. Only thing it was 2.3.5 gingerbread. I was running infamous 3.1 and did darkside super wipe and cache., well after flashing the zip I got the stock recovery, and part of stock boot animation, well after the stock boot animation then came the infamous animation then nothing. It wouldn't boot up past that.,I ended up using Odin and fixing it and converted stock that way. My question is... Is there a special method going from ics to gb?

Yeah just use odin or a flashable zip to return to stock no big deal
I know how to Odin and get stock...I'm asking if there's anything special to go from an ics ROM to a GB ROM? BC when I did it I soft bricked, using all the darkside
Wipes.

I have flashed from GB to ICS back and forth a few times never really had an issue like that the only real issue I have ever had was a few apps force closing but a quick wipe of the cache took care of that issue

don't use the CWM flashable zips. if you do you should flash the rom and kernel too? you probably did but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. I would suggest flashing via odin to get to stock then wipe data/factory reset through stock recovery. that is the cleanest method to get to stock. the CWM flashing to zip sometimes leave stuff behind from earlier flashes.

rooting jellybean

hey guys just updated to jellybean today and i was wondering how to root my phone. my baseband ends with LJ7 so i'm not sure if i can still root it or not
I update my phone from Ics to JB and I tried to root it with S3 tool kit, but didn't do it. In facti was only able to go to down load and CWM recovery. Plus blank scree when reboot.

Ya great idea. Even tho if i had to guess hes one off the people who are getting the recovery overwritten with stock and cant master even getting into a custom recovery. So hell be back in ten minutes askin what hes doing wrong. Thats why i recommended the full tar. it literally CANNOT fail. j/s

Stuck on black Galaxy note 2 screen

Someone please help me. I tried to flash the unroot back to stock through twrp as ma5 wasn't working all that well for me and i wanted to start from scratch unrooted and get the sprint ova for the ma7.
So i flashed the file and it said that it was successful. It even went to the special recovery like it was supposed to before rebooting. Now we get to the problem. The phone wont reboot. It just stays on the first black galaxy note 2 screen. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Someone please help me.
U coukd try and flash another rom or use odin to flash a stock rom.

I tried both of those already. It acts like everything flashes ok but then when it reboots, it stays on the black note 2 screen
You can try flashing twrp through odin and make sure auto reboot is not checked
Then reboot into recovery and flash a rom.
Unless you can reboot into recivery, cause if you can then this is pointless.

I had to order a new phone through Sprint. Luckily it was so screed up they couldn't tell whether it was rooted or not. Which is double good because I also had a broken secure element
