Please be patient while root is being worked on by myself.
The mount points need to be adapted from the process I have in mind and it might take a while.
In the mean time, I would encourage everybody to join the freenode irc we have going and join the cause.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=epic-touch4g
Checklist.
[] Obtain root with a certain method on a stock Epic Touch.
[] Pull stock zImage.
[] Pull initramfs.
[] Build kernel with root.
Good luck ....bubby!!

As a former Epic 4G user, I hope you are correct. Our dev section was and is a bit of a wasteland. We had very few ROM updates from Sprint and were it not for Samfirmware, we still would not have Gingerbread.

Same here. I can only imagine how much good stuff we will have to flash in a few months. I think this phone will stay relevant for a long time. I mean, what can't we do on this beast?

As far as I can tell by examining the install script, this is not a permanent install.
Everytime you reboot, it will go back to the original CWM and you will have to run the install again to get this recovery.

You are right. It works perfectly. Does backups and installs but won't stick. How can we make it stick sfhub? By packing it into a stock kernel?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Yes, pack it into a stock kernel and flash/install the resulting kernel.
Curious, have you tried flashing the modem?

Nope. The options that were told to you are your options. Flash a TW rom or boot the temp rom from sd.

Actually someone said the dialer codes are recognized by adding a * before the # but it does not allow any changes on the Epic. Only the 2 options mentioned will allow you to make changes.

I have been attempting to get my MSL. I have a Galaxy S2 on Virgin Mobile USA. It is running JB GB28. The MSL is no longer stored in ril.MSL. Also I have tried using CatLog with SU permission and entering a random 6 digit code for the MSL. It seems Samsung has prevented the MSL from showing up in the logs like it used to. Any help? I really dont want to have to downgrade from JB just to get my MSL. BTW VM has said they will not give it to me.
