Yeah from the above post and from the OP's post it sounds like you are trying to use the root method for the Epic 4G which is NOT the Touch version at all. You are trying to root a E4GT with the Epic with a hardware keyboard if you are using the root method you are linking.
i have epic 4g its not touch. what should i do .everytime i use that method its stucks on power up screen.. the links u give will lead me to gingerbread 2.3.x ???
actuly new to android help me pls.
Honestly, not to be mean, but you probably should not be rooting or flashing anything until you read more. You can and will ruin your phone. Also, you are in the Epic 4G Touch which is the Sprint Galaxy S 2. You need to go into the Epic 4G which is the Sprint Galaxy S which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=713
DO NOT USE THE FILES THE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE LINKED YOU TO!!!!!!!!!!! They thought since you posted in this subforum, that you had our phone. Go to the subforums I linked you to and ask there. Also, READ, READ, READ and then READ some more. Especially if you don't want to turn your phone into an expensive paper weight.
Please take ^^^^^^ his advice and stop doing this. You.need to do alot of reading.

Does anyone have an epic with froyo baseband version 5s on it? I'm thinking about using the update.zip method to get it on my epic. Could you provide a download link? My mother's epic was trying to get froyo with baseband version 4s off her phone and the people AT SPRINT gave her baseband version 5s still froyo. I would appreciate it I need more internal storage space asap on my epic.
This should not nd in this section as you are not developing anything. You should search and you would find your awnser. All the dk28 build we have will work on any hardware version

oh my, you're gonna get super flamed for this. ROM is preference. There are lots of great ones. Read the stickies for root, don't accept any OTA updates..if you update OTA the 2.3 kiss rooting goodbye..Read! Then read some more. This is the friendliest advice you are going to get from this thread you started..I promise.
Go with unrevoked. Check out YouTube. There are many great walk throughs of it there. Just make sure video is for latest unrevoked (think its 3.2) !!watch full video a few times b4 u attempt it 2 get familiar with what's gonna happen. U can always ruin back. Do it on a windows PC is my advice.

If nothing else, you could go back to stock to regain phone functionality.

Having same problem as the op, also flashed to stock which did not do anything. My baseband is "unknown," if anyone has a solution to this please let us know. Thank you very much.
just odin to stok
Where did u get that rom from?

Oops, sounds like you flashed a GSM ROM. Do you have usb support to Odin a stock ROM?

This is correct. The rom you flashed is for GSM phones and not the Epic Touch. Search this forum and you'll find some solutions...which involve having to flash new radios as well as new stock kernel. Flashing just a stock kernel/rom isn't going to help you at this point...you'll need to restore the CDMA radios as well

Not sure what these numbers and letters mean....
Mine sais EL29, so i only flashed the ROM (Blazer ROM 4.0) that had all the same information as my phone displayed under "About Phone"....
This page http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=716 has a list of ROMs, a few of which i would like to use. Specifically the new ICS leaks (Hurry up SPRINT, release the ICS ALREADY!!)...
My question is... is the "EL29" "EH17" "SRF12" and all those others the firmware versions? Modem Versions? What are these? If a ROM specifies this information anywhere, will i have to upgrade or downgrade to the appropriate files (Or firmware) before flashing the ROM? I have no idea what these are or what they mean.
From what i've read and picked up, i know that some of these things will have to be done through ODIN and I think I read that some other things can be done through CWM, like flashing the ROM itself.
I just need a little more information on how flash ROMs properly concerning what needs to be done BEFORE you flash a new one
Things I already know:
1.) Must install a ROM compatible with your phone (DUH)
2.) Sometimes you gotta use ODIN (Is this only for root? Or do you use this to upgrade/downgrade modem firmware or something, too ?)
Also, what other file exensions should I be familiar with and what do they do? I just want to be able to modify my phone with no problems and a collection of links and bookmarks for me to pull it off. I'm not trying to be a programmer (yet =)
Any links specific to my questions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

WRONG SECTION
your looking for the epic touch this is the one with the keyboard.
But to answer your questions those are firmware versions that the ROM's are based on for our phone anyways.
Hahahaha. Dude typed all this crap just to find out he's in the wrong forum.

Well, we can still help...
EL29:
E = 2011
L = 12
29 = 29
So if this is a ROM, the base version was built on December 29, 2011 (apparently samsung employees worked the holidays...). If this is the modem version, guess what, the modem was built on December 29, 2011.
So to recap, the first letter is for the year, the second for the month and the last two for the day.
SRF1.2 = Syndicate ROM Frozen. This is an older ROM, based off of EC05 (March 5, 2011), and by the name, Android 2.2 (Frozen Yogurt). I don't know if there was an SRF for the Epic touch.

I already petitioned the mods and the big mods refused. That is why Jay posted the Non-Touch stickies but the problem with that is accessing with an app you don't see the stickies unless you click on that subject. Viewing from a PC also has a picture of our phone with keyboard open.

Thanks,

Questions go in Q&A.. that's why it's there.
