[Q] Best way to go about this...?

Alright so heres my situation..
I tried rooting my Epic back when it was DI18,and ever since, its rooted and has recovery... but I cant flash a ROM due to some error .. I havent tried in a while but what I want to know is, whats the best way to get myEpic to the latest update and get it re-root?

Use odin with a pre rooted tar file

Which would u recommend?

Flashed to cricket...

I just had my epic flashed to cricket. Its not currently rooted but I'm considering doing it. If I root it will it mess up my flash job or does it have to be reflashed? Also is there specific roms I have to run for cricket service? Help is appreciated

[Q] DK28 Flashing

Hey Team XDA,
I recently bought an epic 4g for my wife but it was loaded with DK28. It seems I've tried my darnedest to odin/flash using the computer. I notice that while booting into recovery I have an option to use update.zip. Is this okay coming from this ROM? if so, must I go to a specific update.zip from DK28?
Thanks for your help guys/gals!

Is the phone rooted. what recovery do you have. I would say try to flash a different rom and then try to use odin. make sure you flash a bml read the wiki on rooting and or watch the video's that qbking77 has made he has a lot of helpful videos and links to the threads you will need.
hope this helps

Download the el30 in android development and use odin to flash it. You won't be rooted yet, but that will get you up to date. Dk28 you say? Wow, they were old skooool.

What i did first was flash a rooted kernel with Odin .
Odin:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
Kernels :http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/SPH-D710/Kernels i like Team Rogues Kernels
Now that your rooted boot into recover by holding volume up + power at the same time and make a backup of your current Rom
Then i just followed the install guide for whatever Rom i was flashing .
I like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578880 rom because everthings working and it is updated all the time

sweeeeet thaanks again man
so its safe to flash el26 kernal on a el29 rom??
edit: im also not rooted

What Rom do you plan on flashing first ? Some require you to flash a certain kernel for their Rom .
But it should be ok for you to flash any recovery for your first one to make a back up.

Sprint s3 flashed to virgin mobile successful. However I need some help with roms!?

Hey. I got the phone to work on virgin mobile with 3G data. But I'm rooted running stock 4.1.2 and custom recovery. Here are my problems.
1. Battery life sucks!
2. I'm scared of losing my flash do to the 4.3 rom list.
3. I have the lG2 bandbase.
I guess I'm being a noob here. But can I flash a 4.3 rom and not lose my flash. I spent 18 hours flashing it. Dont wanna go thru this again. I had the htc evo lte flashed before and ran 20+ different roms but the more I look into flashing roms to my flashed s3 it scares me.
Thanks for any help or what should I do
