ok so when i first got my spring galaxy s2 (epic 4g touch) i rooted it but i think i used the method for the galaxy s2 and not the method for Epic 4g touch. After i did that the phone didnt have any service. long story short i couldnt fix it so i got another phone (epic 4g touch) and i would like to root it but scared it might happen again. Did that problem happen cause i used the wrong method? Is there a diff when it comes to rooting a galaxy s2 and sprints version called epic 4g touch? Thanks
First of all you posted in the dev section... Please post in Q&A ... The reason your phone didnt work is because you flasged a galaxy sII kernel not an epic touch one... Just look for a kernel to flash and flash it in odin from our section of xda not the original galaxy sII

I have some totally noob questions about this all and the reality is that I've been wondering. What are the differences between the epic 4g touch and the gs2 on other carriers? When searching the xda forums do I need to be careful about whether certain ROMs are for the epic or another carrier phone? Ive had some problems with my flashing. The starburst RoM bricked my phone for awhile until I was able to find a stock image to restore from. I had backed up right before I flashed but for some reason it didn't finish and I didn't realize so when I went to backup from this starburst rom that put my phone in a continual boot loop I was screwed. I think my phone wont ever be able to go back to new like the day I bought it. Any ideas?

Im kinda new to this too but i believe this section is for sprint epic touch 4g. Any roms here are for epic touch 4g and they will work. You probably messed up the steps wrong that cuz to bricked ur fone. I flashed few roms work fine included the one u mentioned. Just a lil reminder backup be4 u if flash anythings!

Treat other GS2's as different phones i.e. those roms will not be compatible with the Epic 4G Touch. Stick to the Epic Touch forums for roms/kernels/images, etc.
i kno this may be a dumb question, but will the roms from the Samsung Galaxy S II forum work with my epic 4g touch?

No. Don't flash anything from the original GS2 or the other US versions. That's a good way to mess your phone up and others that have done it are having a hard time fixing issues caused by doing it....drivers no longer work etc.
The original had a hardware button in between two touch buttons on the bottom and it's roms and drivers are designed for that setup.
Tmobiles version uses a totally different CPU and AT&T's phone has a GSM radio.
Don't flash any roms or kernels that aren't specifically for the Sprint Epic 4g Touch.

From what I read I wouldnt flash those roms. Its very likely you will brick your phone.

i which some one would bring the 3d galery and the 5.0 touch music player
lol only epic touch roms can be flashed to the epic touch.. other roms can only be flashed to our phone if they are ported over by the devs..

Its too bad we can't flash the roms across variants of the devices. Otherwise we'd have a jillion roms and development would just be super amazing for these devices. Blame it on the carriers.
im telling it was not ported i got the yellow triangle plus all the i9100 stuff

Yeah we're not saying it was. Your best bet would be to install roms only on the development forum for the Epic 4G Touch, stay clear of any other board.
Sorry if there has already been a thread on this but just trying to find out if the Epic 4g touch roms will work on the US Cellular version of the S2 as they are basically the same phone except for Wimax and 4g.
I don't know if you ever got an answer. Go to team us cellular .com epic 4g touch roms will work only if they are custom (read not stock). Check out the website there is a converter to allow them made by allenme. I'm currently running Pac man for a epic 4g touch.

This forum is for Epic 4G (SPH-D700). Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710)has its own dedicated forum...

Ok I know this is very confusing, but you're in the wrong forum. This forum is for the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G. You have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch.
You want to ask/research your question in the Samsung Epic 4G Touch forum.
But to answer your question directly, you'll most likely want to install CyanogenMod. You can access that link by going to CyanogenMod.org -> Wiki -> Devices -> d710
You should be able to find any help in the Samsung Epic 4G Touch forum of XDA Developers.
If you're considering switching providers then I would suggest seriously considering moving to Ting a post-paid-per-usage Sprint MVNO. PM if you want a $25 Ting referral credit or have any further questions.
Wow lol this is the second forum I'm being told is the wrong one lol, HTC is much more simpler lol, but thanks for the explanation bro ill check it out
