Thanks for your time in helping me if you can. Nobody has helped me all day.
But what im trying to say is...
I want to flash my nexus s 4g to boost mobile or straight talk
The way for flashing the nexus s 4g is the same as the epic that is why I came here.
Can you help in anyway? like link me to a tut or remote flash for me via teamviewer?

Personally I haven't done it, but I know I've seen some guides around our section, and people here have definitely done it.

SDK Emulator

Is there away to replicate the EC05 build in emulator and flash custom themes overtop it? LOL Just curious, seeing as I no longer have an Epic, it's somewhat hard to test future content.
I've been curious to see if something like this was made, the iphone/ipod have something similar ...

Someone needs to show this to TheDub, dev of simply aosp who is having to sell their epic.

So is there a way you can use QEMU to boot up and run a ROM designed for the Epic? Interesting to say the least...

[Q] What phone do I have!?!?!

UBER NOOB QUESTION, yes i know.
As the title suggests, I have no idea what phone I have lol.
Got it through sprint as Galaxy SII. Well I google that and it does NOT look like my phone. My phone looks more like the "Epic 4G Touch". Then I thought that just MAYBE they are the same phone.
BUT
What makes things more confusing is that there are different forums here for each phone, and I am not sure if I should be looking at the Galaxy SII forums OR Epic 4g Touch!?
If you got it from Sprint and its a GS2 ... you're in the right forums

Epic 4g touch= sprint sgs 2. So yeah, you should use the epic 4g touch forums.

Thanks for not flaming me to hell lol.
I wanted to make sure I was looking at the right stuff such as ROMs, kernels, scripts, and themes for the right phone. Now I have peace of mind and can root and flash away!!
Thanks!

That's actually a very important question to ask if you didn't know. Some Epic Touch users tried flashing a different SGS2's ICS build and got all screwed up

I... I don't know what to say...
He actually ASKED before flashing...
I'm without words...

This right here. It requires drivers for the phone to work correctly oddly enough... I'd have never guessed it beforehand myself either..
This is exactly what I can't stand now he won't even get back on tell us if he fixed it or not ....lame

"Rocket surgery"... Lol didn't know there was such a thing haha
Since you are on EL 29 you should be able to use the exynos exploit to obtain root without a computer by using the apk in the thread below.

I have two d710 and I too would like to know if there is a way to root with out a computer. Currently one of my d710 does not charge(I have to remove battery and charge the battery separately from device, its not so bad I have multiple batteries).
I have tried different cables to no profit. I have one of my D710 rooted rocking CM11. But would love to be able to root the wife's phone to.

Not a newb....not new to flashing...but really need help

I have flashed hundreds....and I am honestly telling you hundreds of phones and times and this is the first time I have gotten stuck...problem is this time it isn't my phone.
I had a co-worker ask me to help him with his SGS 2....took me a few to realize that his Sprint SGS 2 is actually the epic 4g or 4g touch....but anyway I made a back up through his recovery and then did a factory reset, cache wipe, system format, and davlik wipe before trying to flash AOKP 34 from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1565994
Well the flash failed with a status 7...tried to restore the backup but it says there are no files. If you try to boot it just sticks at the Samsung logo....I can get into Odin mode but no computers so far have recognized the device. The other problem is so how is CWM is gone and I am left with what I assume is the stock recovery....you know the whole signature required stuff.
What can I do to get this back to working again?
Your a n00b if you don't know questions go in q&a.

SPH-D710 = Epic 4G Touch
SPH-D700 = Epic 4G
Two different phones. Luckily, I own both.
What you should do:
1. Download Epic 4G Touch drivers
2. Use a non-stock cable
3. Download Odin for the touch
4. Download an Odin tar for the latest E4GT stock (EL29 I think)
5. Run Odin as admin
6 Reboot download mode
7. Plug phone in slowly to a back port on a desktop if possible
8. Put the Epic Touch pit in the pit section (NOT victory 8g)
9. Put EL29 in the PDA slot
10. Start Odin

Dude, don't think you should mess with somebody elses phone if you don't know what you are doing or what phone you have or where to go orrrrrrr to not post questions in development.
