I know i'm not the only one but i'm like a kid waiting for Christmas. In short, I bought a new Evo 4G used, its not even 2 weeks old. Gingerbread is on it (4.22.651.2) and im waiting for the ability to root /unroot [which way im not sure] and last i was told its Ruu is not made or found yet. Please make this an easy transition and let me know here if the Ruu is created and if the steps will be different than the other steps you've guys shown here and on youtube, please! Also, I'm paying for Boost's blackberry service (60 bux a month) which i won't need when i get the Evo 4G going. I would be over grateful for your patience and consideration. Also, i did do my due diligence to look for all the info and tried several rooting options i.e.: Unrevoked3 and so on, with no luck.
Thanks!!

If you would have looked harder (sarcasm), you would have found that there is not root method for the newest OTA update. There are dozens of threads pointing this out.
Thanks, tgruendler [re-sarcasm] I did indicate that i knew the OTA wasn't able to be rooted yet HOWEVERm if it did come about if it could be posted here, i'd Highly appreciate it since there is a TON of information throughout the site! Yet, Thanks for the Razzin'

Not sure I understand your question but I presently have a Blackberry 8530 on Boost mobile but i just bought a Evo 4G which it seems to have been updated to Gingerbread 2.3.3. I can not root it to switch it to boost. I don't know if anything in your thread helped. But thanks!
you dont need root in order to get it on boost mobile
you just need to fix some things ,, due to forum rules i dont know the legal wording to use .....but on gb its a lil tricky to get the info fixed and that is where i am in this moment in time

the ruu they are talking about is a rooted version that'd only work if you didn't have stock 4.22 on your phone. Just keep waiting...

So I've done the whole search thing, and XDA now offers a cool display of related threads when I start a new one...but I haven't found something related to Cyanogen Mod 7.1 for our variant of the GSII.
I hesitate to flash cyanogen because 1. it's not stable anymore (according to their forums), and 2. our model of the GSII is arguably not like any of the other GSII's because we have a different chipset.
Had anyone tried to flash cyanogen mod onto this phone or does someone know that it works?
Thanks in advanced!
10-22-2011 EDIT: So people don't need to sort through the clutter, the answer is no there isn't CM7.1 for the T-Mobile variant of the GSII and no one should attempt to flash the one from cyanogenmod's website for the GSII.
Thanks for answering my questions!
Cyanogen mod roms are built specifically for each device. Don't ever try to flash a build from another device. Even the ATT and International galaxy s2 have differently builds even though they're pretty much the same phone

I believe CM isn't even available for our phone yet. Only for the other SGS2 models.

DO NOT attempt to flash roms that were not specifically made for our devices! The ONLY roms that are safe for the TMO GS2 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1332
Thanks for the information. I thought that would be the case.

None of the unlock solutions from the market work on our devices. If you are a T-Mobile customer, you can call in and request the unlock code, otherwise you can get it by faxing in your sales receipt. There is a good discussion of the topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18643213

My statement was in reference to the GSII only. Users reported too many bugs...but again that's not for our GSII.
If you check their forum there is no more "stable mod" link to 7.1 for the GSII.
The mytouch4g should be fine.

I apologize to you if my question was naive. At least I didn't go posting in the developer forums.
The development seemed active enough for this device that I was considering there was a chance of availability. I'm also not rushing or demanding anything from the developers/developer community. I also give thanks and donate to them.
Other's have graciously answered my question, and to them I say THANKS.
Hey Guys,
I just recieved my galaxy s2 4g yesterday. I have already rooted it and installed the recovery (yay). My question is, can I install the rom from the official ICS release from the UK on my US phone? Or will I have to wait till samsung rolls out a US update?
Also if I can use the UK rom, which one should I use?
Thanks!

You can't flash any thing from a non epic touch 4g unless you want a brick ...the international is gsm please read the dev section really good it doesn't sound like you know what your doing ....

In general, anything in the news/wherever about ICS labeled "Galaxy S II" has little to do with this phone. Only things Specifically labeled for the SGSII Epic Touch 4G are relevant.
We have different hardware, most importantly radios, so the software is pretty much deadly to our phones.
And yes, if you read around a bit in general section, you'll see a thread started about twice a day with that same question.

Hi,
In case it helps, I have an up-to-date Galaxy Note 2 ROM list kept here, which includes the T-Mobile model.
Someone was asking for a list in the AT&T section, so I thought I'd post this info in each section to tell people.
It's kind of a hobby, but it's kept up-to-date pretty much every day.
Some of you might find it useful.
Greatly appreciate the list! Thanks!

Thanks for for maintaining this list! Is there any way to tell which ROMS support TMO WiFi calling? This is a must-have feature for me. I'm assuming none of the AOKP/AOSP roms do.
AOSP won't. Has to be a tmobile base rom. Usually anything in the tmobile forum based on 4.1.1 is a safe bet for WiFi calling. You can always ask in that thread to confirm, or preferably read and figure it out.

Hi,
It came to my attention that I'd forgotten to add a few roms from the `Original Android Development' sections for the different carriers.
Sorry about that. Those roms have now been added.

Ok, I am new to this business of rooted phones, custom roms, and mods. I had someone root my phone mainly to help with battery life and to be able to use the wifi/tethering without T-Mob charging me extra or eating up my data plan every month. I have installed a 3rd party wifi app and it works fine but my data is still being eaten up. I have seen where people are saying the stock rom needs to be changed 1st. How do I do that? What is a custom rom and which 1 do I need, also how do I install it. I will be the 1st to admit this whole thing is foreign to me. I need help. Anyone willing to hold my hand and teach me? I'm a great student. Thanx for your time...

I did have another question though. I did a bunch of searching and found a lot of stuff but none of them have helped me with my new problem. Here goes, I would like to use my phone as a wifi hotspot or tethered hotspot without it eating up my data so fast. I have seen that it is possible to do but like I said I can't get any of them to work right. They work ok but it is still chewing up my data. T-Mobile already charges me too much for data and I would like a work around I can use. Let me know if anyone can walk me through the steps. If you need more info from me just let me know...
T-Mobile has some of the cheapest data rates around.
Their capped/throttled data plans include hotspot functionality. The " truly unlimited plans" do not.
Also check the play store. I know of one called " foxfi" that a friend has had luck with.
