[Q] Rom Manager - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

ok so i just rooted my et4g and i installed rom manager, im trying to flash the recovery and it has four options to flash.
none in which say et4g
only
samsung at&t GalaxyS2
samsung GalaxyS i9000
samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)
samsung GalaxyS2
which one is my best bet?
if any of them i think the bottom one is but i was worried that one is for the euro s2?
any help would be greatly appreciated

None of the above.

so what do i do??
i want to flash a rom already! haah

Odin a rooted kernel with clockwork mod (chris41g's lost kernel is what I used), and follow the ROM install instructions from the development section.

and lets just say if i used this vs using that method lol

damn so i just have to chill then? no other way of flashing recovery?

If you are worried about customization issues or just want to remain stock, I would flash this. It is completely stock with cwm. You can than flash a prerooted rom or su.zip and you are rooted and ready to go.

Note for future: use the backup feature in recover before flashing things you aren't sure of.
The backup in recovery is referred to as a nandroid if you didn't know already, it will always bring you back to exactly how your phone previously was. This way you won't have to ever ODIN to stock.

OTA T999V - Jelly Bean - 4.1.1

Hey All,
Can anyone confirm that the T999V is getting the jelly bean update, for us on Wind Mobile.
Can we install the T999UVDL update.
Dont install the update as released by samsung. I think it has the modem included and flashing modems from previous builds caused problems for the T999V variants. Check one of the roms released by Wildchld. They should be ok for you but check in the thread to be sure.

Pull the battery, go back to your homescreen.. try downloading rom manager, and reboot into recovery from there and flash from there. You are using wildchld's rom?

So Download the ROM from WILDCHLD from the development section, plug in your phone into computer, put it on your sd card.. (hopefully your rooted), reboot into recovery and flash wipe data/rest, clear cache and clear dalvik cache.. reboot and it should take about 2-3 mins to boot up and your done!

[Q] (Q) Bricked Phone

Could somebody please explain why flashing a ROM (AOKP) on this kernel/recovery would brick my phone? I'm not blaming anyone but myself, but I just really don't want to go through it again. My problem is I thought being on Agats kernel I would be safe. But obviously I was wrong. Yes I know, FAIL. At least I got some good years in before popping my brick cherry. :laugh:

Well, All flashing involves risk. I have flashed many times from that kernel/recovery. What were you flashing? (ROM / KERNEL) did it have the update script binary call for eMMC_format_all comand? Sorry to hear that you bricked.

I know it's risky, but I mean not like that. Followed instuctions and flashed per instructions like always. I was flashing AOKP. But would it matter what I was flashing, or where I'm flashing from? I do not know if it had any updates. I guess I had hoped if it was unsafe, or "risky" it would have been in the OP. I'm just trying to figure out what the heck I'm missing here. Thanks, I'll be getting a new one $35 so it's not horrible.

I use the el26 kernel or I use chris41g's twrp kernelor even his cwm kernel. They will overwrite the updater binaries using its own. However some zips will not like it and abort. Its safe as hell though. El26 is the first choice though

Lock up and restart alot?

anyone else having this prob. sometimes i will use a app and the screen will go black and unresponsive i can still turn the screen on and off wit the power button but it eventually restarts however it does the startup animations but does not make the sounds. any fix?
some history:
tooks some time but decided to root, once rooted the factory os would not boot. so i did the restore to factory flash with counter reset uploaded by a fellow member of xda and then did the flash to root.
now i have this prob.
What Rom did you flash to? Stock or something else? Also, Root method? Odin CVM, Flash root zip? just trying to see if there's anything that sounds odd or off other then the issue you described. I rooted with CVM Flash (odin) and zip root method.. Flashed The People's rom, No resets here.

I have seen this a few times recently. I did not have that happen when I read on ICS. It only happened after I updated to lj7.
It is interesting to note that the phone appears to restart and recover but when I look at the uptime for android I see that it was not a full reboot.
