Hello,
I hate to be the noob. I'm coming from the Skyrocket forum where there's a nice stickie with links to all the Root, CWM, and all the available roms & mods.
The Epic 4G forum has a lot of posts and threads and all I have rift now is my phone to browse which makes it harder to search but all I really need are links to the download mode op, the proper CWM version, and a stock, debloated 2.3.6 ROM threads.
I'm trying to help my girlfriend who has the 4G and its running like ****. I won't need any help actually gaining root and flashing given my learned experience with the Skyrocket.
Again, I apologize for being the noob and I'm hoping I wont get flamed too hard. Thanks for your time, your forum, the hard work you do for the 4G and hopefully, your brief effort.

Sorry if I'm posting in wrong section.
Today I successfully installed Leaked OTA ICS update IMM26 on my NS4G. It's great but to my disappointment Flash based apps are not working properly. Some Flash based apps are working fine (e.g. Veetle) but many others, especially browsers, are not handling it well at all. The reason perhaps is that many apps haven't yet been optimized for ICS. I'm addicted to all these apps.
Please tell me if there is a way to downgrade to Stock Gingerbread.
NOTE: I have unlocked bootloader but unsuccessful in getting root because SU works up to 4.0.3 only.
Thanks everyone.

This belongs in questions and answers.
But there's a one click (not really one) restore to stock in this forum. I believe its using Odin.
Just look thru the threads and you'll find the instructions.

not sure why you thought this was development...
But yes you can... Just wipe (everything) then install a gb rom. That is if you just did a cwm install of ics.

Sup guys, just got my gs2 and almost let my buddy do it but he messed his up pretty good. What's a good way to root and flash roms on this phone and what's a good stable rom? Thanks guys for helping out.

Check the stickies, in the general section. But basically if you're on 2.3.5 use one click then rom manager.
If on 2.3.6 use odin and flash cwm then use cwm to flash a rom

Once you have clockwork mod recovery on your sgs2 you can install custom roms, and most importantly, make backups. this should be your 1st order of business.

Definitely read the stickies/FAQs.
This is what I used to root my SG2 last week:

As far as ROMs, I'm currently on Darkside 2.3 and it's perfect for me.
Edit:
After rooting and before flashing the ROM, I forgot to mention that I followed this to install CWM:

I have the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Model SPH - D700 firmware is on 2.3.6.
I have tried several guides on this site and others for rooting this thing and NOTHING is working.
Can someone please explain how to root this thing?
I can link you the how to or I can remote root you via teamviewer?

Start by not asking questions in General forum.
Thank you.

Then you can google How to Root the Samsung Epic and several youtube videos will show up by qbking77. You can use either the EL30 or FC09 versions. All files needed are linked at the end of the video.

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

There is a stickies in this forum that are fine.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529058
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123 <-- that is in a different sticky (less in depth instructions). Although with that you probably should download a more up to date recovery, but it would get you root with the old recovery.
That said...I recommend letting your friend do the work. That way he/she can learn, and if there is a problem, he/she can possibly fix it. Rather than being stuck without a device until you can get around to potentially fixing it. Especially if you plan on flashing custom ROMs and kernels.
