Okay so a lot of people have been flashing ROMS that are not for the Sprint galaxy s2 epic touch 4g( for example the European Galaxy s2 version of ICS) and end up getting a bricked phone that cant be read by the pc or odin. First of all READ B4 Flashing!!. secondly read the forum rules. Search before posting a new thread that someone already asked and lastly I am currently trying to find a way to fix this problem since my friend did the same thing and i have his phone at the moment. i will post an update if i find a solution unless someone beats me to it. Here is an example of what not to flash.
(do not flash u will have a fail EPIC)

install the drivers for the international version and then odin should be able to read your phone

This right here. It requires drivers for the phone to work correctly oddly enough... I'd have never guessed it beforehand myself either..

"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.

If you just got your phone the BEST way by far is to just just sfhub's autoroot package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Run the root, then add the EL29+CWM+Rogue, or EL26 whatever your kernal says you have. This will give you root and CWM for flashing modems, and ROMs. Just spend some serious time reading the stickies and through the threads. You really don't want to end up with an expensive paper weight

Use chainfire's ExynosAbuse if its on something older than FL12. If its FL12 or newer, use the oneclicks.
ExynosAbuse will get you stock rooted with no muss, no fuss, no PC required.
I am still wondering if its safe to flash sprint stock ROMs to boost phones and will they work or do you have to mess with the apns.

You have to edit the MMS APN. I just did it for a friends boost flashed phone on GB27.

Was it a sprint phone flashed to boost? Or a stock boost phone that you just ran the jb ROM on? Cause in my situation I have a stock boost s2 that I want to run the gb27 leak on.

Sprint phone flashed to boost but even for you it will be the same I imagine because the GB27 is sprint specific unless they release a specific boost mobile GB27.

It is very easy to change the mms apn. Once you root it just get the MSL code, go to ##DATA# via the dialer, go to other, find mms there and change it to the boost mobile APN for mms.
I'm not sure if that's the exact place to edit the MMS as its been a while since I went to ATT and their samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket.

If you're gonna use a jb rom then that exynos abuse didn't work for me since I thibk they fixed the patch in the new leaks or updates or something. .which is why the one clicks thru pc odin are sooooooooooo much easier.
For what its worth
Sprint/boost/virgin doesn't matter the hardware is IDENTICAL as well as the software. The only thing you need to do to run a sprint rom on boost/virgin is edit the mmsc/mms apn other than that everything else connects to the exact same network using the exact same interfaces. The mmsc/mms apn is just the weblink that mms is routed thru for each carrier.

Cause these questions aren't being asked in a development thread, and the op has some semblance of common decency.
Asking for help in general or q&a is fine. Demanding to be spoon fed in a dev thread is not.

Another trick that might be even easier is there is a tool in the market I believe its called APN backup . I flashed a couple phones to cricket back on the day and you could just backup the apns before flashing. Then save the XML file somewhere safe then after your done messing with your phone and configured it how you want you can download and run the app again and do a restore. Effectively restoring the apns you had backed up this is an easy fool proof way to keep the APN settings exactly intact.

Invalid now, google stopped applications of being able to modify the APN starting on ICS I believe.

I would have to agree with the pc odin. However, I flashed agat's GB27 repack and it works great on jb(Jellyverse 1.0). Love the no drama thread as well
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I've heard that the use ofthe repack is hit and miss. Some of the problems arise on a reboot where it doesn't recognize sd or pd apps. So most of the devs recomend to flash repack to flash mods and tweaks..then flash atock jernelejuat before rebooting out of recovery.
But like i said its been hit and miss according to different threads
ComAdosed Jellyverse E4GT
