I used to have a 3g vibrant and I had cwm in it and I no how to use Odin and am comfortable with Samsung. I went to sprint and got the evo 3s which is what I have right now. I root the phone and instead of cwm I installed twrp and it is fantasic. Can I use twrp on
et4g and how similar is this phone a far as flashing modems and kernels to the original gs line of phones?

Which are safe to flash with? I hate having to flash back to el26 kernel.

dont you think that if there were other safe ones, then el26 wouldn't mentioned in every single thread?
with that said, try twrp.
There are several different unlocked recoveries (unlocked stock, agats) that you can flash zips from but for roms el26 for now. It literally takes 2 extra minutes to flash it.
I heard that twrp for cm9 is safe, I have not tried it yet.

I used to always odin back to EL26 to wipe/flash, but ive been using agats FF09 & FF11 recovery and have wiped/flashed many times and havent had a single issue.
Either way agat or new TWRP was it really that difficult to flash el26cwm. I mean use mobile Odin and its all of 20 seconds..... Hey you got to be happy though

I never said it was harder but I would like to just be able to flash just like we used to.

Had my old S2 for almost a year a it broke 2 days ago. It was replaced under advanced exchange, so I got a refurbed unit running FI27.
I am in the process of moving to another apartment and I don't have internet access, so I need to do this while I am at work today. I've tried to read all of the stickies for the past hour and I am more lost than ever.
It was so long ago when I rooted my original S2, that method obvioulsy no longer works.
Just need a link to what the easiest way to root and install a recovery on my device for FI27.
I know someone knows off the top of their head and can point me right in the direction. I'm in a time crunch and could appreciate the help!
TIA...

That should get you root.
Or you could flash el26 one click exe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26295021 and then flash a rom.

So I used the no-data to flash and get root.
However, trying to get a recovery on. Can I just use Rom Manager to install CWM? I was going to use it flash CWM recovery, but it asked me to confirm the phone model, and I didn't see the sprint version listed.
Nevermind, I installed Agats FI27 recovery, all is well!
Thanks guys! Should be good now!!
No don't do that. Google mobile Odin lite and dl the free one from XDA. Then flash the kernel I linked for safety. Then you can flash anything.

hey guys just updated to jellybean today and i was wondering how to root my phone. my baseband ends with LJ7 so i'm not sure if i can still root it or not
I update my phone from Ics to JB and I tried to root it with S3 tool kit, but didn't do it. In facti was only able to go to down load and CWM recovery. Plus blank scree when reboot.

Just get a custom recovery and flash this

Ya great idea. Even tho if i had to guess hes one off the people who are getting the recovery overwritten with stock and cant master even getting into a custom recovery. So hell be back in ten minutes askin what hes doing wrong. Thats why i recommended the full tar. it literally CANNOT fail. j/s
Ok here is what I have and what i am looking to accomplish. I have a sph-d710 sprint, flashed to boost mobile. Gb27 I have stock firmware rooted, and still have stock recovery. I want to flash a 4.3 build. What kernel that includes a recovery should I use? I prefer twrp but will use cwm if I need to I also have mobile Odin pro for flashing the recovery/ kernel. This is my wife's phone so I am asking for info so I don't screw anything up. Before this I've been strictly using Htc devices and they are so different in steps to flashing brick free. Thanks

You need to flash a safe kernel via Odin one-click or mobile Odin like El26 or EL29 direct boot, and also the recovery and the kernel are together so keep that in mind

Ive looked thru the forums i apologize if i missed it. Ive got a sprint samsung galaxy note 2 running 4.3 ive tried to root and install a custom recovery using the toolkit, but it doesnt seem to take the custom recovery. if anybody could please help me.
I haven't tried rooting since 4.1.2, but I used ToolKit to root and it installed a custom recovery. From there, I just flashed the recovery I preferred to use. Maybe be worth while try using ToolKit. I believe there is an option to just install new recovery.

So i know ive gotta flash one of these but which one? Sprint Samsung galaxy note 2 4.3
which ever one you prefer first. I use TWRP. Some use Philz, which is based on TWRP. From what I've read, it may be good idea to go with Philz over TWRP when and after converting to Android 4.3; something about TWRP not backing up or restoring correctly. Obviously there is still ClockWorkMod (CWM). I can't attest to it because I haven't used it in over two years.
Odin doesn't work either.....I've been having the same problem. Been wanting to root my note 2 for some time now but to no avail.

try using odin3 v3.07 to flash philz 6.07.9 that works for me
