is there a way to install a rom using Odin??
I keep getting the SOD (sleep of death or whatever) and I want to try and install the new syndicate rom thru Odin to see if that may fix the issue.

Not unless the developer puts out a .tar of it. Usually you need to Odin a stock ROM and then you need to flash the custom ROM through Clockwork. You should Odin one of the prerooted ROMs like t853209he second one down in this thread:

It is possible, but none out for the epic. The devs might find it too much of a hassle to have to create and release a tar for every version of the rom, but I have seen it A LOT over at the fascinate forums.
Hi noobi here. I've been trying to root my Epic 4g Touch. I found zedomax's root. But I read that everyone is complaining that once you root, you lose wifi. So my question is "Is there a fully working Epic 4 g touch root with CWM?
Thanks in advance

Are you EG30,31 / EK02 / or EL29

You can flash the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click in my signature. Then use Auto Root to install CWM.
This will give you root, CWM, and avoid the yellow triangle. From there you can install whatever you want w/o triggering the yellow triangle.
If you can't read my signature, the links are also in the Auto Root sticky.
ok i was looking at your link today. so by me rooting the EL29, i would have to go back to your page and do the autoroot method to be able to get Clock work mod running? and i have one more question, Will i have any issues with the Wifi by using this rooting method?

Yes after installing the Full (resets user data) or NoData (preserves user data) pre-rooted EL29, go to the Auto Root sticky and choose Option C to install CWM.
It would be trivial to include CWM in the pre-rooted EL29. The reason I don't is because it would trigger the yellow triangle and increase your ODIN flash count. Using the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN One-Click then using the Auto Root sticky for CWM won't trigger the yellow triangle nor increase the ODIN flash count. It'll leave you with root and CWM, which is what most people want.
It will have zero postiive or negative effect on your WiFi. Whatever EL29 is going to give you with respect to WiFi is what you are going to get.

Yes, after you have a (pre) rooted EL29, use Option C to install EL29+CWM-Rogue
You can actually install any of the CWMs listed as different kernels will run with different modems. Some people prefer to keep them matched since that is what Samsung/Sprint would have tested with.

When you select Option C from the main page, you will be presented with a list of many different stock kernels and stock kernels repacked with CWM. You can actually install any of them, for example EK02+CWM. Some people feel it is best to match the kernel with the ROM/Modem you are using, in which case install EL29+CWM-Rogue. Some people feel different kernels work better for them, in which case, feel free to experiment with the others. You can also go back to EL29 stock kernel using Option C.

dude i cant thank you enough. i did exactly what you said and now my epic 4g touch is fully rooted with CWM
Thank you again for all the help and support. now i just need to know what are the Must Have App's for rooted users. got any suggestions?
Some people like Titanium Backup, Root File Explorer, and Android WiFi Tether.
yea i already got set cpu, clockwork tether app. ima check out root file explorer. any other good Apps
Rom Toolbox is pretty good, has lots of options and has a zipalign option under the app manager as well as fix permissions.
This is the easiest way you can root your epic 4g touch.... qbking77 explains and has links to all the files you need....

OK. Love Odin and big thanks to all devs out here helping and answering questions.
Have flashed twice now with Odin . Once to root and the other to to flash to sfhub's fe21. Wow what a great developer. Big thanks.
My question comes from wanting to use sfhub's Odin data/wipe first then use Odin to flash a rom. Can I? How? I know you can use it to load kernels and modems. Same question of how.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
What do you mean exactly? Are you asking if there is a data wipe you can flash with Odin? Whenever something is flashed in Odin it automatically wipes everything it needs to. And to flash a ROM just stick the tar in the PDA slot, same as if you were flashing a kernel.
---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
My mistake I see sf created a data/wipe tar. My bad! It looks like he has it in the one-click Odin style. It's even easier that way. Just download on your PC double click the file to launch and then hook up your phone when it's in download mode. After that click start and you should be good to go. I have to download that, it can definitely come in handy. With the one-click Odin you don't need to select which slot to put the tar in it's all ready to flash.
One I am asking exactly that about the kernel and rom in the PDA section. Got it thanks! Next, where does the modem programming go? Recoveries?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Modem goes in the Phone slot in Odin. If it was a zip file then you would use recovery to flash it. Stick to Odin though. It's way easier and tons safer than using Recovery. Check out the app Mobile Odin Pro you can put right on the phone. It automatically puts the rom/kernel/modem in the correct slot so you don't have to worry about putting it in the wrong one. The only thing is Mobile Odin can't flash modems for our phone. It doesn't like CDMA. So in regular Odin on your PC ROMS and kernels go into PDA and modems into the phone slot. Not too hard to remember but if you put it in the wrong one it isn't fun, lol.
Ok. sfhub made a data/wipe Odin tool that I plan into incorporating into my regime way of flashing.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, that's what I had just realized he posted tonight. I'm glad he did that, makes it a lot easier to do that now. Love Odin. Way faster than going into recovery and doing it in there.
Follow up: I booted to Odin and used the flash. Then what? I got a android figure with like an atom glowing on it after. I went back down to Odin 1.85 then couldn't figure how to load a rom zip. So I ended up using Odin one step to fe22. So how do you load roms then? thru the md5 file selection in pda? rom.zip files are usually loaded in recovery. But how do you load a rom into Odin? I know to use the pda selection. Think I will use winrar to change to a tar to use.

Hello XDA Community,
Well I am a beginner in terms of trying to utilize anything my T-Mob. Samsung Galaxy S3 has to offer, tried to place CM11 onto my S3 but I think I just bricked my device.
I got to the part where my phone was unrooted and I had all the files ready for ZIP. I actually used TOWELROOT to unroot it, got SuperSU & permissions, I think I may have bypassed KNOX, not 100% sure.
I had the latest TWRP - it boots into it fine but when I tried to install CM11 w/ GAPPs - it fails to install. I keep getting the error that the binary doesn't work. I was reading on the forums that one had to change the d2tmob into d2can - tried it and put the new zip back into the SD card, I even tried to put CM10.2 thinking that maybe the "stable version" might be better than the nightly.
Anyhow, I was following a guide and I deleted everything (INCLUDING MY OS) except for things in my SD Card.
I cannot recover anything because I backed up my phone onto my phone - which was wiped...real genius....
I am kicking myself, I haven't been able to use my phone for 4 days now, I've been trying to fix it myself but I have NO CLUE in terms of what to do next.
I keep reading about ODIN and booting something else but I am extremely distraught over the whole ordeal and I do not know what to do.
I can boot into download mode (down button + middle + power) but my skills are extremely rudimentary - I am sorry to bother the community but I really do need help.
I have trouble understanding any difficult things - I kind of need the instructions to be broken down to like "Plug phone in now" - do that...and etc. Any links that might help are muchly appreciated.
I just want any OS now - even if it is stock but I need simple instructions ~ I am sorry, I really do not know where else to turn to....pretty sure my phone is bricked (soft bricked, idk) - but I do not know where else to turn - please help XDA community.
So if there's anything someone could dig up or do to help me fix my phone....I would be eternally grateful.
Download the stock or root66 firmware from my thread stickied in development. I suggest reading that and other stickies as well btw.
After downloading, unzip. The result should be a .tar.md5 file.
Boot download mode
Plug in phone, open odin 3.09. (Download in my signature)
Click AP and select the firmware you just got.
After the check finishes, click start. When it says PASS it'll reboot and you're done.

Thank You so much for the prompty response, downloading the root66 now,
I hope it's okay that I do not have any OS on it. I will definitely let you know how it goes.
Quick Question: download mode is Down Key + Middle + Power.
And AP should be in Odin right?
Also...for the boxes - what should be checked in ODIN 3.09 when I am about to put in the AP thing?

Okay, so now that my phone is back on Stock (I used the root66 method), I have SuperSU but when I go to the app, it gives me the message
"if you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU Binary, with Normal as an option & TWRP/CWM as another option.
I am trying to see how to properly root my phone in the next step.
After I root my phone, I hope to get flash a ROM.
I am sorry to ask again DocHoliday77 but could you please help me once again in terms of what to do next?
I think your instructions were really simple (layman's terms) and it helped me debrick my device.
I just do not know how to flash a ROM, let's just say for purposes that I wanted the Carbon ROM - how would I proceed once I get to the step with SuperSU's message? Please help
If your intentions are to flash a rom, you don't need to be rooted before hand. Just boot into twrp/cwm, factory reset and flash the rom. That's it!
As to your specific question, I always choose Normal for that option.

Just a heads up, I hear they may have solved it, but the latest cm roms haven't worked well without the 4.4.2 modems. If you flash and find you have signal/connection/imei issues, factory reset and flash an older version.

Seems like a silly question but how do I get CWM/TWRP?
I had booted into TWRP before but I kept getting the binary updater error when I tried to flash CM11.
Is there an easy way to get CWM - I think that would be my route of preference now because of the sour experience with TWRP.
here is a link to CWM advanced philz touch recovery. its CWM but with xtra options and you use 'touch' instead of volume buttons.
if you want to check it out.
its a flashable zip.

Sorry, was just reading up on how to flash PhilzCWM with a GS3-t999 but it seems a bit complicated.
I'm sorry, I am extremely computer illiterate and I have to apologize for that.
My goal is to get a custom ROM - I already have the ROM I want downloaded and such but I just do not have anyway to flash it.
Is there any easier way to get to where I want to be?
Please let me know & if you could provide simple layman's terms, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
if you can get to cwm recvery to flash a zip file , then
https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
the 2nd zip file from the bottom is the latest i believe. (philz_touch_6.486-d2lte.zip).
click on that and it should download to your phone. then go into CWM and choose that file to flash. reboot phone. then go back into recovery and you should now have 'cwm advanced philz touch recovery' on your phone.
then you can flash your ROM from there.
hope that made sense.
err on the side of kindness
Can you tell us exactly what recovery you currently have? Twrp/cwm/philz should all work fine. I use twrp. Just personal preference.

Hey I finally installed a custom ROM onto my Galaxy S3!
I just used TWRP and flashed it. I've been messing around with all the combinations so far ~ it's really amazing, it's like I have a new phone.
Quick Question: say I wanted to flash another ROM, other than the one I am currently using.
Can I just download another ROM onto my SD card and flash it via TWRP again OR
Do I have to restore the phone back to it's original stock OS and redo the TWRP thing again?

Sorry I haven't replied sooner. Haven't been home this weekend.
For the most part, yes, just download the new rom and flash. No need to revert to stock or reflash recovery except in certain situations.
Unless you are flashing a very similar rom, it's always a good idea to factory reset. You can get away with "dirty flashing" sometimes, but if you have problems, youll have to reset.
This is required if going between different based roms such as Touchwiz and cm.

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.
I don't mind a battery drain. Its that I have a note 2 and am gonna upgrade to a new phone because I am selling my phone. I use my phone for my internet for computer and watching TV at home so if I don't get it rooted or custom ROM with WiFi thether or mobile hotspot I am gonna be internetless and forget that. I am sure someone will make a custom ROM I just need to find out where to get tar files for root and tar files to unroot aoni can get them and root phone and when they figure out phone better and ROMs etc I will switch it. Can you provide me with info links etc please? Thank you soo much for your reply

That may be true but I find it curious that there is only one post in the Development section and no custom ROMS. Frankly I can wait until Chainfire or whomever makes a good root and unlock. Call me cautious.

Fair enough, i waited to hear some feedback before trying. But everything works i promise :good: can at least remove everything not wanted, in the mean time while dev is making its way.
Hoping to put up a deodexed rooted base this weekend.
I got the hotspot / tethering working perfectly without rooting. Besides since there is no root available I read it will permanently disable Samsung Pay

i tried this method and it didn't work
update
heres a update i used pingpong root to root phone so it is rooting and very easy to do if anyone wants to root easy. so now that is is rooted i would like to not have to pay every month for the hotspot so i would need a way of tricking sprint that i am not using the hotspot when i am so that it seems like i am serving the internet etc!!!
