I was just wondering if I am able to root and install a custom rom from this forum. I was told on the SGS2 forum that this forum would be best. Is it true?
Thanks in advance

Short answer - probably not easily if at all.
Even if there are not any technical differences between the devices - which I do not know enough on the US Cellular GS2 to say - it is often difficult to do what you want. I saw this with my previous device, the LG Optimus S (Globally Optimus One).
Now in some cases I have seen devs be able to take a build for one phone and easily port it over to a similar phone (ex. Optimus S/V/C) versus having to start from scratch. It will depend on how much HW/SW differences exist between the two devices.
Hope that helps!

DO NOT FLASH OUR RADIOS. DO NOT FLASH ROM/KERNEL unless you know it is safe.
Epic Touch 4G contains 4G. US Cellular Galaxy S2 doesn't. This is NOT a case of same phone, different branding on the same CDMA type network (Samsung Vitality/Samsung Admire)
However, if you are not rooted, people seems to have figured out how to root it using Epic 4G Touch methods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526093

hey man here is a stable mod and a few guides to fix a few things.
Get your rom from here
facebook fix here
Yes we can flash their ROMs, hell we have even flashed their modems before! However do a LOT of research before you do so, and don't be afraid to ask for help from another US Cellular user on here. Also to get a few things like MMS, and the carrier branding to be correct the ROMs require a few basic edits.
There is plenty of support for this device

If you are a cyanogenmod user than here are cm9 nightlies for your phone:

They are exactly the same as the sprint version just with wimax stuff removed and a few us cellular settings.

I'm wanting to know how easy it if I wanted to go from vzw to say at&t or sprint. What all has to be done and what Roms are compatible with doing such. I'm using mikrunny v1.01 right now. Is that a good Rom to use if I wanted to switch carriers or is there a better one out there. I know roms are basically a trial and error kind of thing and it comes down to personal preference.

Mikrunny isn't gsm compatible, and all ics roms as of now HAVE gsm but very buggy gsm at that. But yes please refer to the thread above it'll help you loads!
Why Sprint always gets way fewer roms than ATT and Tmobile?
I had original Epic and Epic Touch on Sprint and we always get fewer roms and last to get updates is there a reason for this?Seams like Tmobile has the most roms and Att is not too far behind it,is it because we are on cdma?If so do Verizon got slow development too,or is it just Sprint?
GSM is easier to develop with, open source. Rest of the world uses GSM. If international version gets development then generally it can be easily ported to a US GSM variant
Btw CDMA is closed source

Yeah i know that,i was asking if Verizon has better rom selection.I know they have great development for Droid phones and Sprint has great development for Evo phones,seems like GS series for Sprint suffers unlike Evo.

They are a bit worse off as they have a locked bootloader. They are the only ones without CM9 nightlies because of that fact.

OG epic is official cm9 supported, and E4GT has good ICS roms (better than evo 3d in the early stages). Just took so long to release kernel source for ICS.

I know i have both Epics,those CM8/9 are nowhere near daily driver and been in development forever,it will take at least another six months for them to be stable.And latest FF18 ota update that Sprint released today for Epic Touch is a joke and buggy,plus we already had buggy FF18 leak for months now,and that is what they call ota?At least they released ics source for EpicTouch-that is something other carriers did not get,probably did it to make up for such late ics ota.
Sometimes i visit Droid and Evo forums and they have so many unique and different roms and rom ports.Xperia ui,Sense,Acer Breeze ui ports-that's just to name a few.So it cant be because we are on cdma,because Droid's and Evo's are too.

Why don't you look in there dev forum and look for yourself? Not trying to be an asshole but seems like an easy solution. And development version or not it's still lacking official CM9 support at this time.
Also consider less people have sprint as there provider, att and Verizon have more customers.
Also the og Evo was given away ag Google io conference that year, so a bunch of people, many devs, got bit for free.

Don't make him switch to Verizon now.
(Though it already seems like he'll do it solely due to "better" development.)

From what I understand, the Evo 3D had horrible development. The OG Evo had amazing development mostly because it was the Google I/O phone, and it had so much new technology that devs really wanted a crack at developing new features.
The 3d had decent development until they started running off developers with childish antics. As mentioned GSM is worldwide and CDMA is not, Verizon is in limbo as far as I can tell with customers and developers with this locked boot loader crap and developer phone price tag.
From the thread made about Verizon and their locked phone, there are a lot of pissed off people who may jump ship or just send the phone back to Verizon. Most don't have an extra $600 + dollars laying around for a new phone and they won't get what they want for their already used s3. Sprint has some decent developers on board including Myn IMHO.
Maybe the lack of sufficient data speeds? :silly:
Sprint phones require special CDMA versions of winZip.
And there's a supply shortage, so we are all still waiting for our pre-orders to arrive.

This.I'd rather have a stellar ROM than lots of decent ROMs. Not that AT&T and T-Mo don't have stellar ROMs, but Phantom's Blazer is amazing. :laugh:
Anyone know of a way we can get a stock ROM for the SCH-L710 which is the C-Spire version of the gs3?

Not big enough demand, also.. I don't know and am asking here, what service provider more closely matches cspires network? Is sprint the closest match? Especially for LTE...??

Ya cspire specs seem to be "meh" everywhere. Like no site saw it coming or something. That being said i havent gotten any comfirmation on the 4g in the other threads. I would assume yes based on what i saw going thru the cspire stock rom. There's actually a few spots where sprint is referenced in the stock rom. And if you restore the cspire nandroid to a sprint phone **** works beautifully. So between that and the lack of complaints, i would say it seems like chances are pretty good

Good day all!
I was recently rooting and modding my friends AT&T SGS3 for him and noticed on their forum that someone had written an automated script for porting any Rom from any other SGS3 variant to any other, ie Verizon SGS3 roms running (from what I've been reading) flawlessly on AT&T SGS3! So of course my wheels got to turning and wondered if that was at all possible for us. Wouldn't it be great if that could be done here? So many knew options would be available!
So my question is; can this be done for the E4GT?
Pretty sure you would have a hell of a time getting wimax working. Also the amount of different processors would be a pain. I will say no. Although others feel free to chime in.:beer:

You can port from the international S2 but some work needs to be done to get Wimax working.
