Samsung GT I9100.. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

When i first got my phone and rooted it the first startup screen always said GTI9100 with a yellow triangle and an exclamation point and I know thats the international version of our phone Yesterday I unrooted for warranty reasons then when I re rooted using Qbkings latest method I realized my phone actually says Galaxy sII now. I think when I first rooted I must have used the root file for the international version or something. I was just wondering if that could have been why my phone would reboot all the time and shut itself off? It only started doing that after I rooted it and I have to say with my new root from Qbking my phone runs allot smoother. What are your thoughts?

What about the way it said GTI9100 could that have been causing any problems I described because ever since that first root my phone was always buggy and now it seems to run allot better.

This phone is a version of the 9100 we have same exynos chip ...it just says that when. A "dirty " kernel is Odin .... I got phone first day and that is how we had to root flash a insecure kernel from the international sg2 ....but it is nothing just use one of the one click to stock odins and get rid of triangle then use auto root and install cwm that way no triangle .

Where did you find that file was it here in the sprint gs3 forum, that warning is usually seen when you flash firmware for the wrong device

No. The cf root method is definitely as easy as it gets right now. Its posted in original development BTW. And no that warning has nothing to do with flashing the wrong firmware for your device. You get that warning when the Odin flash failed or got interrupted. Plug the phone in to the PC with that screen displayed and reflash cf root. Just check your cable/switch USB ports make sure your drivers are installed etc. Sounds like this was just a fluke

On the E4GT people who flashed international gs2 firmware with Odin got this message, anytime my Odin flashes failed it just booted back to download mode. I haven't used Odin on the gs3 yet tho

[Q] boot loops

hello i flashed the axis ROM last night i didn't like so i did a wipe then restored a back up of mines after i did all that i kept getting boot loops i don't have a clue of what i did wrong so i did a factory reset and i got 2 more boot loops haven't had any since then should i be concerned about something ? also i noticed that when i flashed the axis ROM it said FAILED then it said SUCCESS so i went on with the install
I would ODIN and restart things over. (Signature)
What he said. cases like this i recommend ODin.
There are some times when clearing cachy and dalv and system will fix it ....i got lucky ones with that, other times had no choice but to odin
Odin? ? What's that? I'm a newbie to this device

Look in my signature and read the first page, if still confusing watch YouTube videos. Its pretty much the best thing since sliced bread, besides booze and strip clubs.

You are serious ? You rooted you $$$ GS3 witjout knowing what is Odin? Smeels of a brick is in the air.:fingers-crossed: Well Odin is a PC tool to reformat your S3 to its original state unrooted and stock. You just need to download is right .tar file for your device and carrier found in the main READ BEFORE posts on the forum and flash it with ALL THE procedure done correctly, unless, your phone will be a nice paper holder.
I bought it rooted already from someone I know how to flash Roms that's about it

Omfg.. Well if you want my advice, go read how to use Odin and reset you S3 to factory state before you mess up and make it un usable.
Thanks to every one. I'm fully stocked and UN ROOTED. So if I'm understanding this the correct way when i have a problem with my device i should ODIN correct?

Unroot and Flash Stock ROM

Hey Everyone,
I have a Note 2 for AT&T and yesterday it didnt work at all. It showed the Samsung logo while booting and it went away. It only does that when the battery is pulled. After a few hours I took it to the AT&T store and they ordered me a replacement but now the phone can be put into download mode and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." but wont boot past that. I tried using Samsung Kies and nothing. When the replacement comes I will reject it because if I send my old one in they will void the warranty.
While using Odin I get the "Complete(Write) Operation Fails". This morning I downloaded a new firmware (hoping to be the right one) and will follow up.
Anybody have suggestions? :crying:
You say you tried kies ?
Did you try the updater?
Reason I am asking is because you should be using the EFR not the updater when using kies when your phone is bricked or w/e.
Updater wont fix anything.

You will need to flash rom from the link below cuz they are rooted already. Use triangle away to reset counters then unroot using superuser, go to recovery mode and do factory reset in stock recovery. Same steps above I used to put my phone back to official and removed custom / modified status.

Wow youre the man, thanks for making that thread! I will try these methods when I get home!
:good:
Wow!
What worked for me: I searched for the AT&T stock ROM 4.1.1, the file name started with "KIES" something. I must have been running the wrong ROM the whole time. I checked and the counter is up to 8 but the current binary is samsung official and system status is official.
Now how do I get the counter to say "No"

I'm just going to root it again using Odin and run triangle app to remove the counter but just keep it rooted and run performance apps. I honestly don't want to mess with the ROMs anymore.. ROMs are no joke and I've learned my lesson.

[Q] This is gonna take a genious to figure out!

ok i have a sprint 4gET flashed to cricket.. running Team Acheron's "Touched by an S4" (Awesome) after checking out some of the new roms coming out I decided to flash a few and check out the new cm10.1.3 and the jb4.3 systems... I am familiar with the procedures for flashing jb, ics roms and follow op directions to a t everytime..but today after losing data cable connections twice on an odin install my phone would not respond... after leaving batt and sd card out of phone for 2 hrs I was finally able to set phone into download mode.. flashed directboot recovery by cwm wich cot me to my sd card to reflash my trusty touched by an s4 rom but now when it boots up my samsung screen displays a totally diffferent model.. it says Samsung Sll GT-i9100 but in settings it still says sph-d710... how on earth did that happen and how can i change it...
Install and run triangle away from chainfire paid on play store or free from xda. It's what happens when you use Odin to install non official firmware

Not true in all cases^^
some of the direct boot Odin & Mobile Odin files (EL26 or EL29) were originally made from the international phone source and when the kernal is flashed it will reflect the i9100 on boot up. This is normal if your phone is working properly. You can also one-click back to EL26 stock to get rid of it, but then you have to go through the process of re-formatting the partition.
If it is working fine, I would use Triangle Away. If not, you will probably need to start over with a one-click exe.

Help Question/ Root and Unroot

First off I should have left the sprint phone alone. NOPE had to help a friend. The phone is on 4.4.2 I attempted to use "[SPH-L900] CF-Auto-Root" Link Then got NFC errors and could not get into the phone. Next I tried "[Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V5.0.0 SPRINT] Drivers, Backup, Root, Recovery, Flash to Stock" Updated every thing. I did how ever use the wrong android version "Yes I know" So I lost the recovery TWRP. So last chance and boot into normal android recovory and did a wipe and stuff. Only thing now 4G cuts in and out. How can I just root the phone with smoothness like my S5?
Thanks all!
