Aw, they even named it Odin Mode for us.

hmm, call me a noob but what are we looking at in these pictures.

Noob, , those are benchmarks of the SGS2E4gT, the about page, download mode for flashing tars via ODIN and I believe the bootloader screen.

I have a feeling a lot of us Samsung noobs are going to need our hands held. Coming from HTC, the new terminology seems confusing.

I couldnt agree more with you! Ive been flashing roms on HTC since winmo days all on HTC devices, all this terminology is confusing! LOL. I got the Photon too and its the same thing, REAL different from flashing HTC. I just havent "studied" enough with the Photon though (even though I am unlocked and rooted) because I knew it would just be my backup phone once the E4GT came out.

I found this thread in the international SGSII forum.
Definitely helpful for those of us new to Samsung.

It's not so bad. Odin is just a tool to help flash a full image to your phone including modem and kernel. We still flash roms through clockwork mod most of the time. Tech associates at sprint stores use odin to remove your custom roms and root. We use it to flash completely back to stock. In order to use Odin (and for it to recognize the phone) you must be in download mode (was hold 1 and power on, on the og epic). Bootloader should be the same as on HTC, it is where you can flash custom roms (provided its not the stock bootloader shown here). Stock bootloader is where system updates are flashed once the update.zip is downloaded and detected on the sd card. Was real scary for me too...when coming from WM!!!
edit: hope the explanation wasn't too elementary, I'm no dev.

well sorry I was just asking cause the screen talking about custom rom got me confused, but I have owned very very many phones so far and have rooted every single one of them
Evo 4g, Evo 3d, Photon, nexus S, Atrix, HTC Inspire, HTC Hero are just some of them

It's very obvious to me that the bootloader is unlocked out of the box.
You get to *odin mode* by holding down volumne + and - keys at the same time along with the power key, release power key when device turns on while continuing to hold + and - keys untill the droid guy screen comes on, then release.
I'll betcha that the existing galaxyS 1 root files work

[Q] is the leaked 2.3.3 or just a cover up of 2.2

went to a sprint store and the sprint representive said the EE03 for the epic 4g was a fake and was not the real gingerbread but a covered up version of 2.2 froyo is this really true????
Lol are you serious? The guys messing with you
xDDDDD. Wait you were serious? Sorry.
He's messing with you man. EE03 is a leaked version of 2.3.3, it most certainly NOT 2.2!
No. Otherwise Netflix wouldn't work on it. It is NOT an official release but a beta version. There will be later versions before it is released.
i can't speak for others, but IMHO the devs in this community know more than 99% of "Sprint store" employees about what is going on with the epic and with gingerbread.
Have you tried running the leaked EE03 rom? it has some functionality to it that is definitely an improvement over stock EC05 froyo, but also definitely a little way to go before a fully functional gingerbread release.
on a different note -- anyone hear about the progress of EE19?

sounds like they just wanted to try to sell you a new phone. nexus s may have some things that are better than the epic (like being a purely google device), but with these gingerleaks here and the real gingerbread on the way the epic is still the best phone for me.

I Totally have to agree the epic 4g is clearly a better phone if you screw up with it or something i have always been able to reset it and sprint techs not even having a clue i did that.
So, I work for sprint and I can tell you that xda has more info than we do. They don't really tell us much at all, xda would have info up for weeks before they officially tell us anything. Kind of funny

So I just got my Evo, and out the box it already had the Anti-Root OTA Update installed... well she took hers to sprint today since she couldnt get Netflix to work, and they told her there was an update availible to fix that. so she downloaded it on hers and now netflix wirks great for her.
So she comes home, and grabs mine and updates it for me... trying to prove to me that she knows how to do some things... Now my software number is 4.24.651.1... yay... wonder when THIS one is gonna be cracked so i can finally root this thing!
sorry dude the root method isnt availabile yet but devs and unrevoked are workin on it i think they will have root method out by october bro
Leave her...
I believe you can flash the ruu back to 2.2 and root.

You can't be serious?!? Within 6 days people can find a way to root the EVO 3D, but the Gingerbread update that's been out for a month, can't be cracked?
I'm in no situation to get upset, I guess. I don't know a thing about how to do it, but I had to replace my rooted phone due to a cracked casing, and I just received the new one 2 days ago.
I'm missing all the goods....like Synergy.

Originally the Evo was rooted before it actually launched (thanks toast!). HTC has gotten better locking the Evo down since then.
Does this give you free access to her purse now? LOL

Tell her that you have made a choice to leave her for your phone. and you want to have great sex with the HDMI port on your phone. lmao!!!!! Cause we all know it is that small since you can't tell her NOT to touch your phone. lol! but then again, girls will be girls. they'll do what they want anyway because they actually think they know what they are doing because some idiot at sprint told her that. lmao. anyway. hahahhahahahahaha. The only reason I root is to use the SO CALL FREAKING 10 DOLLARS a month they are stealing from us. Use as much internet as I can. hahahahahaha

{Sprint} Why Galaxy Nexus over the Evo LTE

Both phones are giving me the itchy trigger finger, and the phone's release dates are only a month apart. So I pose a question to the current G-nexus owners. What's the reasoning on choosing a device that is less superior and both selling for the same price?
I'm a nerd, So I like the idea of NFC and google wallet. Also, I wanted a pure google device. I hate that HTC is always the last to get updates and the first to add bloatware. If I was to look at another device, it would be the S3
If it s dual core evo, I would say just get the nexus

I am in the same boat here. As I see it I have three options. Stick with my Evo 3D, get a Gnex, or get a Evo 4G LTE. Right now getting a Gnex is looking good .
Super Amoled screen is better in my opinion. It's much more beautiful.
The Gnex is going to receive Android updates a lot sooner than the EVO.
HTC (in my cases) appear to drain battery quicker than any other manufacturer.
Why get a phone that will have a locked boot loader and wait until they release the unlock or wait months for someone to crack it ....no thanks

This is the same reason I went from a HTC 3d to the Gnex .... HTC is too good at locking down a bootloader. Some of the latest HTC phones need a jump wire to root them! That, to me, is crazy.
I loved my original Evo, but changing to the Nexus S, then to the Galaxy Nexus was the best thing I ever did. Nexus phones are a million times better, whether you leave them stock and unrooted, or you like rooting and roms. There's just so many advantages to Nexus phones.

I had no clue the One S had a super Amoled screen. That explains why the screen "WOWed" me.
Get the Nexus.
The new Evo will likely break easily, be laggy, and get updates 6 months later.
Also, developer support.

I hope to also get the Evo 4G LTE as well if all goes according to plan. I want both devices, but if I had to pick one it would be very hard for me. Yes, the GNex will get updates the soonest and there is a lot of support, but I still like Sense and developing for it. I know lots of my EVO 3D guys are getting the LTE and have asked me to make a ROM.
The new processor in the LTE might only be dual core, but it is a monster. I think it will be a good phone and it will be all about preference.

Coming from an evo3d to gnex i will tell you i will never buy another htc phone in my life. The smooth vanilla ics is amazing. No root problems (so easy to root), you dont have to worry about having a certain hboot to flash kernels and such, Plus the evo lte is kinda ugly imo.

It depends on what you want... The GNex will get official updates to Jelly Bean and, more likely than not, Key Lime Pie. The Evo, on the other hand, will be lucky to get Jelly Bean at all, and KLP is almost out of the question. Also, the GNex, like all Nexus devices, has first-rate dev support. If software is important to you, then there really is no other option-- the Nexus is sovereign!

Really? Been a long 7 days for ya, huh? Not enough that we got our Odin restore, a new leaked build with new radios, EOS, CM9 Kang, JakROM, TWRP, and being able to flash any custom kernel on the Gnex forum? All within 5 days of the official release. I think we're off to a great start.

Will it ever even be possible to have a working 4.0+ for the EVO 4G?

Dozens of people all working on ICS and JB roms but not a single one of them are fully working.
Without HTC's help in releasing the drivers for the FFC and camcorder will there ever even be a working rom or are all of them just going to miss out on features of the phone forever? 4G not working is fine since 4G EVO version is not going anywhere, but missing out on the camcorder and FFC are big deals..
Seems like this topic comes up at least once a week now, in some way or another.
To answer your question though, no. Without the source for the drivers, developers would have to come up with it from scratch, which is very meticulous and time-consuming as I understand it. Sure, the possibility exists, but I believe the chance of it happening is slim to none. Not that I think the developers couldn't do it, but we're talking about a device that's 2+ years old now. There are newer and greater devices out there that are still being supported, not only by great developers but also the manufacturer, which is key to this entire issue. When the OG lost the support of HTC and went EOL with Sprint, it was pretty much game over as far as source code ever went. If you want a fully-functional ROM, stick with GB-that's where the OG shines

As you can see the development for the OG is just about dead,theres no real reason for anyone to attempt to make a driver for it,the phone is close to being obsolete,so it would be useless.

I completely agree, as long as they feel that they could loose profit by having potential customers sticking with their old phone, they wont release a thing. But when ICS is old news, then don't be to shocked if they just happen to go ahead, and out if pitty, throw it our way.

They can't release something they don't have. Do you really think they would write drivers for a device they no longer support? That's a waste of time and resources better spent working on currently supported devices.

It's true, but I believe it's because there are a lot more newer devices that are being supported. This is an old phone and i'm surprised it's still being developed. For me, I'm using this JB Rom and loving it so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1947452.
I do believe there will never be a fully functioning JB ROM cause the camera drivers don't match up. Not to mention the EVO hit its max software with GB. Anything past that starts to lag. Having that issue now with JB on my Nexus S.

[Q] Did I just brick my phone? Any way out of this?? Need your help XDA!

Hello XDA! I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II and rooted it yesterday. Root brought it back to Gingerbread and I went to install ICS on it today following these directions.
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ics-a...amsung-galaxy-s2-international-version-i9100/
Here's where I become stupid. These directions are for the international version and I have the Sprint version (with the four capacitive buttons on the bottom.) Now, no matter how I boot, I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
A normal boot up reaches that screen (just power button), vol up + power reaches that screen, vol down + power reaches that screen. I don't see the "Galaxy S II" splash screen before that.
Help me XDA! You're my only hope!

This "Galaxy S2 i9100" is NOT the Epic 4G Touch (Sprint Galaxy SII).
Are you sure you're in the right forum?
If you do have the E4GT and used this method you're done. End of story. There are some possible ways of getting this thing back but it'd be a waste of time for you in my opinion.
Take it back to Sprint and tell them you can't read, didn't understand, can't follow directions or whatever and try and get a replacement. Tell them you received and update and the phone died or something.
And if you are on the E4GT and get a new one then please take some time to read the stickies and how tos here. ALL of them ALL the way through.
Good luck.
I am on the right forum this time. Going back to Sprint tomorrow. Crying myself to sleep tonight.
I'm going to walk in the store with a written note that reads "I'm dumb. I can't read. Phone broke." Hopefully I walk into a Sprint store and not a Verizon store.

Well, seriously, good luck.
If/when you get your new phone come back and spend some time here and you'll see how fantastic your device can be as long as it's not a paperweight.
Thanks. I shouldn't have a problem getting another. I'll fall back on a Galaxy Nexus I used my upgrade on but plan on returning it for the Nexus 4 next month (hopefully). The E4GT is a beautiful phone!! I'm really blown away by it! I'll be back in a few days to find solid working rooting instructions and CM10. I'll do my research. Thanks leader.
He's made it to our Wall of Shame quite epically! Great attitude.

Well like you said his attitude is awesome! Smart and humble.
He'll probably be one of those who learns to really get enjoyment out of this device. And hopefully contribute in some way.
Man this poor dude has been kicked all over the forums, LMAO. I hope he has a flame suit and an ass pad or he's gonna be hurting tomorrow

I honestly feel bad for him and wish I had the means to help him. Just one of those hard learned lessons, I guess.
Good luck, buddy! If they show you mercy and give you a new E4GT, c'mon over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28513684 for any help you may need! Just make sure it is BEFORE you hard brick your phone. Again, good luck!
