[Q] Root Epic 4G touch from Credo Mobile?

I just ordered an Epic 4G Touch from Credo Mobile which should arrive next week. They use the Sprint network and I believe the phone comes from Credo with all of the Sprint apps and bloat. I will want to root soon after I activate it and would like to know the best method to root it and recommended ROM. While i am not a total noob to rooting I would probably need an easy fairly foolproof method (I rooted a Verizon Samsung Fascinate and have installed a lot of different ROMs on it).

One thing people really hate here is when new threads are posted with questions that could easily be answered by doing a simple search. I am not one of those people, just giving you the heads up.
Check the stickies in the dev section, the autoroot is awesome and completely fool proof. I've used it 6 times now.

MetalHead,
thanks for posting the link to the stickies. However, there are many, many pages of stickies and I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "autoroot". Can you please be more specific as to what root method you used? Are you referring to the (Zedomax) (ACS) thread? I have not read all 40 pages, but it seems that people are having some issues with this method.
Please help shed some light on which method you used.
thanks,
Neil

I got my phone last night and used the method in this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Seems to work great. Now I have to figure out which ROM I want to use or leave it the way it is.

mobile hotspot
I'm assuming that if you root you can get mobile hotspot to work even though Credo says they don't 'support it'. Correct?

The stickies are just the first group of threads in a section, they are permanently at the top of the list and are designated by a pin to show that they are "pinned" to the top of the page. The auto root is the first thread there. It is perfectly safe, and very easy. All it is is a simple program you run on your windows machine that roots your phone for you. As I stated before I have used it numerous times without any problems at all. Here is the direct link to that thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

The unlocked mobile hotspot as of now requires a custom deodexed ROM to work but you can use Wireless Tether for Root Users for wifi tethering. The downside to that is you can only create an ad hoc network but the upside is it works with 4G whereas the mobile hotspot does not. Here's the link- http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

custom deodexed rom? What is deodexed?
So you're saying I have two options?
an ad hoc network? What does that mean?
How does this compare to the "portable wifi hotspot" on my LG G2x?
Thanks so much,
David

so are you saying that this combination of radio/rom will get wireless hotspot working?
Basically I just want to confirm that this can be done before I make the switch.

It works BUT I haven't tried it extensively and I read in one of the threads that at least one person got a popup from Sprint saying that service was not part of their package.

Gotcha. Basically sounds like it will happen. Please let me know how it works.

Hey Itzbob,
I'm about to do the exact same thing - ordered my Galaxy S II epic 4g touch from credo and will get in the next few days, adn thought i'd do some research to see if anyone's done this before - I got the links for the rooting (thanks _MetalHead_), and that seems easy enough. now that it's beedn about a week since you put the new ROM, do you like it? fast? battery life, etc? also, and this is a total Noob question - did you have to do anything with APN settings and the like to get it to work? I come from the iPhone jeailbreaking/unlocking world, and this will be my first root/ and flashing ROM. since I'm gettinga new phone, i'd love to just do this right away, instead of using it, and then wiping off stuff when i flash it.
any advice appreciated!

Sorry for the delayed reply I've been on vacation. As for questions... Battery life is just ok but I am a heavy user. Rooting only without the custom ROM gave me excellent battery life. So far I have also had 2 complete crashes with Calks ROM so make sure you have titanium backup. I wish I knew what caused the crashes, seems like a few apps don't play nice but I haven't been able to pinpoint which ones.
It is fast! Gps, 4G, everything seems to work great.

If anyone is still following this thread... I updated to Calks 2.5.1a Rom, EL13 AND the most important part flashed the Stock Android hosts file from Calkulin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=772217&d=1320463525
and my phone works awesomely well. I was having freezes and random reboots and the stock hosts file fixed it.
I still havent tested the hotspot but will be next week when i am working in the field and I will report back.

First of all, thank you so much for your posts, they have been extremely helpful to me so far!
My main question for you is: are there no extra procedures or APN settings or anything at all for a Credo Mobile Galaxy S 2 vs a Sprint S 2?
And in regards to your Credo S 2 --If not, can I just run sfhub's One-Click ODIN with the stock EL13 Modem, Kernel, and ROM for the E4GT (rooted), then do option c3 with Auto Root to get CWM, to allow changing to Calkulin's E4GT v2.5.1a ROM and it's kernel, while keeping the stock EL13 Modem? Can you run the 2.6 ROM as well as the 2.5.1a ROM? Any reason not to run the newer one?
Also can you return you phone to returnable stock from it's current state?
Thanks for any help you can provide! What you guys are doing in this thread is like the only source for Credo S 2 info that I am aware of.

[ROM][3.2]Contingency v1.0b1[5/16/12]

Alright members of the I957 community, I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm proud to (finally) present to you a custom ROM designed specifically for our devices: Contingency! There are a couple of things I need to rattle off in this description before I can get down to business. 1. Due to some error in updater-scripts causing incredible lag with CWM flashes, this ROM is Odin-based only. If you aren't very good with Odin/need a refresher, look down below for a quick little tutorial to help get you started. 2. Due to my lack of an actual cellular data account for this device, it's difficult for me to tell you whether or not the data is working... I'm 99% it is functional in this build, but in future builds I may need a tester to discern for me.
Features & Added Apps
Da_g's OC Kernel
CWM Recovery
Rooted
Zipaligned
Deodexed
Bloat Removed
Build.prop performance tweaks
System Tuner for OC/UV
Titanium Backup
Go Launcher HD (If you're a Touchwiz hater)
As you can probably see, this is a very bland ROM right now; I just had my first successful Odin flash of it yesterday, and the testing lead all the way up to today.
Stuff To Add/Do (Taking Suggestions)
Extended Power Menu
CRT-Off
Bravia
Xloud
Edit Name in build.prop
Put data monitor back in
Theming
Due to my little experience in the world of Tablet modding, I could really use some help as to what you guys would like to see in future builds of Contingency.
Instructions For Odin Flash (It's In Red Because It's Important)
A data wipe is optional, but I recommend it.
Download the .rar of Contingency from the link below
Extract out "Contingency vX.tar" to a place you'll remember it
Open up Odin
Navigate to your Contigency.tar and load it into the PDA slot
Make sure your Tab is in download mode (Power Button + Both Volumes)
MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IS UNCHECKED!!!!!!111!!!!!111?!?!?!!11!11!%[email protected]^#
Hit start
Go grab a snack, sit back, and watch that progress bar
Screenshots
Look at your Stock Tab... Now back to me. Unfortunately, I'm not your stock tab, but that's what Contingency looks like.

Contingency v1.0b1

if you want wifi hotpost use quick tether from market. it activate usb and wifi tethering.

I'm gonna charge mine up for a little bit and try this rom out later. I only got 30% charge currently.
Bought mine used a couple of months ago. Still has an active SIM in it from the original purchasers account. Guess the termination fee was too steap or they needed the cash and decided to live with the $30 a month
I mainly use it on wifi but will test it out on ATT network to see. I just pop it on once in a while to see if it's still active. Just checked and it was!
If it's a nogo I can just use Odin with the original rom from ATT/Samsung? I already have it downloaded as I've use it twice to reset mine.
Waiting for ICS sucks!
Does this still have the ATT data monitor app?
Thanks!

No issues with flashing the rom. First bootup was a little scary as it stayed on the Android animation screeen for a while. Wound up doing a factory reset once up and running to clear up some issues. Seems to get more responsive after it sits for a while and after a couple of reboots. Had a couple of issues with updating the app store and maps but it seemed to work itself out after a couple of tries.
ATT data is functional for those who are interested. I don't live in a LTE area but it's getting closer by the month.
ATT data monitor app is gone. No biggy but was nice to see how much free data I have left....Hoping original owner keeps my data plan going!
Active applications widget can be added but only clicks when touched. Guess the app is no longer included....No big deal just thought I'd mention it.
Looks like there is alot of stuff to play around with as far as tweaks go. Not sure what they all do but guess I'll check them out later.
Thanks again!
I'll let you guys know if I see anything else that is worth mentioning.

Now that you mention the AT&T data monitor app from the tablet, (poster above) I was trying to get the app working on the galaxy note and I failed. I installed the apk from the tablet to the Galaxy Note via Titanium and manually... I see the app and the widget on the Note perfectly, but I am unable to link it to my phone data plan... Any ideas? I was able to get to a screen were is asking for some credentials that are out of my hands... I guess they are AT&T credentials for my account in order to set or link the monitoring app...

It would be best to save a copy of your nandroid backup somewhere safe like on your computer just in case you need it later. Not sure if Odin will nuke it or not. My tab was pretty much stock when I flashed it today as I used Odin to restore the stock rom a couple of weeks ago. If I remember correctly a folder in root is no longer there. Not 100% sure what it was called but I'm thinking it was preloaded or preinstalled. Not needed anyways as it was ATT apps/bloatware if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure about the rom failing and nandroid back thing. Maybe somebody else knows forsure.
I'm thinking if you for some reason don't like this rom you'd have to maybe use Odin to flash the stock rom back first, then install the kernel you were using and then move the nandroid back to the tab if it was deleted and then flash it back.

As soon as there is a link to download the original Stock AT&T ROM I will be installing this ROM...

[Mod/Fix]THE AT&T LTE Fix ver2.0 AT&T LTE, SMS, MMS Flashable Solution (4/2/13)
I guess I'll post the AT&T LTE Fix that I created a while back in its own thread since it has been very useful for everyone. I had originally posted in the Synergy and GalaxyMod threads to solve the AT&T LTE problems users were having with the Multi-Carrier ROMS. But it appears that more dev's are utilizing the Multi-Carrier format, so I'm sure this will be useful for many additional users.
I have updated the original zip I created to include the most recent files for even better LTE performance and a dedicated AT&T LTE APN. I also added the GPS config file that should help those that are having slow GPS locks.
THE AT&T LTE Fix version 2.0 (4/2/13)
As always, flash at your own risk. I'm not responsible, in any way, for what you flash, copy, fiddle with, poke, molest or otherwise screw with on your phone....
***THIS IS FOR USA AT&T SGH-I747 GALAXY S III USERS ONLY***
I highly recommend flashing this after a fresh install of a ROM or at least Factory Reset and Wipe Cache/Davik on an existing ROM
BACKUP YOUR ROM AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING!
Instructions:
1 - Reboot into recovery
2 - Make a backup/nandroid
3 - Factory Reset/Wipe Cache/Davik
4 - Flash AT&T LTE Fix ver2.0 zip file you just downloaded
5 - Reboot and enjoy.

This fix may be regional based and not work for everyone. If you have LTE/Phone/SMS/MMS problems on stock based ROM's, then this will not help you - that is an AT&T issue in your area.
Once again, THANK THE DEVELOPERS OF THE ROM's! They were the masterminds that allowed us to enjoy some incredible ROM's on our devices. This is just a fix for AT&T users that are in LTE zones - allowing the Inbound/Outbound Phone Calls, SMS, MMS and blazing LTE data to work.
One thing...... I've noticed a few users upload my previous zip (ver 1.0) to their dropbox or other file sharing sites and claim it as their own....this is shady..... don't be a leach...... I'm happy to help and provide any assistance when I can, but I do NOT tolerate plagiarism of any kind. I know if you copy my stuff, so don't bother. Just copy and paste the link above and everyone's happy!

Correct - does not matter if ROM is Odex/DeOdex. It does have an updated APN config file that contains the correct AT&T LTE APN, but it will not replace your existing APN if you already have one set up (unless you do a "factory reset" before flashing the fix.

yes, it works perfect. got LTE too...I have been flashing those roms since the beginning, but you could not edit the apn, then I seen this tool and tried it, it injects the att apn perfect. So those roms work perfect for me, it may not for others, wifi/data/gps all run smooth, what else would I need.
You can flash any of the roms, just DO NOT do your email setup until after the rom has been completely installed, at first boot you will get FC on playstore over and over, so you have to be quick, I have a few tools that I flash before the rom is booted, just use root explorer push a playstore apk from one of the att roms, then setup your email, and bingo, everything runs perfect.
my wife is running a sprint rom on her att, and it has been running perfect now for months. so why wait for a rom to be ported over, I didn't want to wait, I am no dev, but it did not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to cheat the system. My motto has always been, if man made it, I am going to beat it.

Hmmm....all this did was delete all my APN's. I'm on CM 10.0.0 Stable
Anyone care to tell me the settings so I can at least get a signal again?

Yes, it was quite clear it would delete the settings. That was not hard to understand...I expected that. I also expected it to inject new settings.
The reason I was interested in overwriting my settings is because I have been on many different ROMs and had recently had issues with my APN settings. I had 3 different ones that all seemed to work to varying degrees, almost seemingly needing to switch every month.
I know the ATT APN is out there a million different places, there is also a million different versions of that ATT APN floating around as well. I assumed that this package probably does more than just regurgitate those settings and therefore asked what specific ones it set in the phones it had been flashed in.
But instead of helping me on that level....you decided to play Gestapo and not only ask questions that aren't helpful, but answer questions that weren't being asked.
Regardless, obviously I wasn't blaming the OP and maker of this issue...no one else seems to have had this problem and I eventually got up and going again by clean flashing a new rom....

The reason I was interested in overwriting my settings is because I have been on many different ROMs and had recently had issues with my APN settings. I had 3 different ones that all seemed to work to varying degrees, almost seemingly needing to switch every month.
I know the ATT APN is out there a million different places, there is also a million different versions of that ATT APN floating around as well. I assumed that this package probably does more than just regurgitate those settings and therefore asked what specific ones it set in the phones it had been flashed in.
But instead of helping me on that level....you decided to play Gestapo and not only ask questions that aren't helpful, but answer questions that weren't being asked.
Regardless, obviously I wasn't blaming the OP and maker of this issue...no one else seems to have had this problem and I eventually got up and going again by clean flashing a new rom....

good luck

Good job on releasing this, I'm sure it will help a lot of people.
Just wanted to say that this replaces the features.xml which is a place where a lot of tweaks occur. It looks like you've included most of them, but there are still a few missing (One I can see is increasing joinable contacts). So if a rom says anything about CSC edits and you flash this over, it MIGHT break some of them.

fix
When this correct the 4g lte problem where the calls don't show sometimes and sms come real late?

Yes, that is correct. I tried to include as many CSC mods/options that I've routinely seen or used (which are verified & stable). Anyone that uses a new custom feature that requires CSC modding will need to simply add that in the CSC file. But this should give a very good base w/ most features included.
Thanks

Why would you run this file if you already had att apn settings in cm10?
Just asking?
Search for att apn it is everywhere.
Sorry to hear that.

arshull, you may want to warn everyone that this deletes all existing apn settings, and adds just at&t settings. Just trying to help.
Ya know, in your op. I already knew the file would delete the settings, but others may not. Still, great work. Thanks

BTW - Can't wait until you get your rom posted, looking forward to it.

I assumed that everyone would wipe data/factory reset that it was a given your APN's would be replaced. For those that don't, this will replace your APN file and replace with the correct LTE apn settings - which fixes some problems regarding incorrect APN's/problems. This was intentional and helps way more often than hurts. Only those who are not following the instructions will be effected by the apn replacement.

Thanks for the fix, anyway to change the icon images back to the stock lte,4g icons

That is dependant on the specific ROM and how they have the icons classified/named in the systemui.apk.

Stickey this thread
Works like a charm. Out the box had a problem with WiFi and made me reluctant to get back flashing. Of course on first flash I lose data. Dirty flashed hours ago with no problems. Stick this at the TOP.:good:

Glad everyone is liking it! I think I'm going to create another zip that will have some addigional files and will allow you to flash any North American SG3 ROM and mod it for AT&T.
I've been flashing and running several Spint and Verizon ROMs lately and now know which files are needed to convert the CDMA function to GSM and get full use of all the i747 specific features.

Stock 4.1.2 (MF1) - What's changed / observations

After a clean ODIN install, some comments on the new MF1:
PROS
+ Multi-window support - works as you'd expect... not sure how useful it will be
+ AllShare Cast toggle added - I actually use ASC so this is useful to me
+ Fixed the bug where waking the phone using the home key would return to the launcher (when using no lockscreen and s-voice disabled)
Neutral
> New gallery UI
> New free-form drawing/painting app
> Group Play now a separate app
Cons
- Maybe just me, but noticeably more UI stutter than the last 4.1.1 (LK4)... curious if others notice this

I went back to LK4 because the choppiness was bothering me, so no unfortunately .
Another change: signal display now reads 4G instead of LTE.

Buttery smooth on mine. Display still reads LTE on Sasktel.
Largest change for me is findmymobile works now. It wasn't working for me on 4.1.1

I'm on Rogers and it still shows LTE.
Everything is quite smooth so far.
It seems to me the camera is a little snappier than before. Just an illusion or someone else is feeling the same?

Haven't done it myself yet I would guess that CF-root through odin is the way to go. Or mobile odin pro.

Maybe only Bell switched to 4G naming.
New camera scene mode added: "best face". Though it doesn't seem to work all that well IMHO.
And after starting over with another clean install, the animations throughout the OS still seem less smooth than the last 4.1.1. Oh well - back to LK4 for me.

Updated my phone today to 4.1.2 , and phone isnt charging for some odd reason, anyone have any ideas ?, phone runs great, nice and smooth but just drains without charging

If you flash the telus firmware you will get the 4g logo instead of the lte logo, this has nothing to do with to carrier.

I see you posting in just about any 4.1.2 thread there is and it's been said all over the place : if you're on AT&T and you want to flash a canadian version ROM, then you have to either not flash the modem using Mobile Odin or else, flash the LK3 modem from your old AT&T 4.1.1 ROM afterwards using CWM or TWRP.
Please read carefully before attempting to flash anything on your phone.
Especially if you're not familiar with the process.

Looks good... took quite a bit of reboots for the multi window thing to start working though?

It goes to DL screen but casual just sits at installing drivers for ever...
What version of it di you use?

It seems that people have a hard time rooting phones.
I root mine in 2 easy steps.
Step 1 = Flash CWM Recovery via Odin onto phone.
Step 2 = Flash a custom zip file that installs Superuser onto the system/apps.
That is it. Very easy.

I flashed the Telus firmware and get the LTE logo when on LTE. When I'm on 3G/HSDPA the 4G logo comes up. This is normal for Telus.

I don't notice any lag with UI here.
Overall everything seems fine. It'll be nicer when the devs apply their tweaks and mods.

Agreed that's always how I have done it i the past too. Since my last rot, CASUAL was developed, so I thought I'd try it out and found it very basic and easy and with less steps than the root through Odin that noobies sometimes find harder, hence my earlier reply. Now of course if CASUAL causes issues and hangs, Odin flash always works as you suggest.

Gallery changed
I noticed the gallery is different. I kinda like it, except the pics from my external micro SDHC card doesn't show up in there anymore. Is there any way to change that? I haven't figure it out yet...
Thanks!
Nevermind, I backed up all the pictures. Formatted the card, and reloaded it back onto the memory card and it worked after.

4.4.3 KTU84M is out w/ Changelog (Unofficial)

The 4.4.3 is out!
And yes! We have it on our GNex second day too! Thanks to developer @baldwinguy77
Link:
Shiny ROM
The official developer changelogs stated 7, 454 changes.
Below are obvious changelogs according to what I found and I'll add in a few of my own thoughts.
(removed unrelated changes such as LTE and Nexus 4/5 specific)
-Tweaked Dialer app with colored Action bar.
-People’s app images are now similar to the one used by Gmail.
-Fix mm-qcamera-daemon.
-Wi-Fi improvements.
-Microphone and earphone related issues.
-Under-the-hood camera, Bluetooth and system related fixes.
ART mode is definitely smoother by default. I am an ART mode user so ART is very important to me as well.
As for kernel, AOSP kernel for 4.4.2 still works on 4.4.3 nicely (to be again confirmed since I'm only on my first few hours)
Animation statusbar flicker when animation is off seems to be still there.
Camera is doing a bit better I think.
Anything else? Discuss here! Off Topic is lightly allowed!

there is one change for omap,it rename one file for camera

I want to test it badly, but last time i installed Shiny ROM here i got no mobile data signal, i tried multiple radios, clean installations and nothing.
I can't post on Shiny topic because of my low post count, so let me do a small "off-topic" here to address @baldwinguy77. Another brazillian reported the same issue, so i'm guessing it is related to our carriers compatibility. Can you give me a hint if this kind of issue could have been addressed by this last build upgrade?
And thanks a lot for your effort!

This is the solution. To elaborate...Settings -> More... -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names -> Internet -> APN protocol: Switch from IPv4/IPv6 to just IPv4 option.

@Grarak Hmm, i shall try that in the weekend when i can spare some time to play with the phone.
@venni I think you mean to change to IPV4 only!
@dhuberto , can you confirm outright if this works for us?

Shiny 4.4.3
Installed today over the previous Shiny 4.4.2.
Made a dirty installation.
Only wiped cache and dalvik.
Running smoothly as the previous version.
I think this is the ROM for who search stability and last android version like the stock.
I'm very happy of this ROM .
Highly recommended.
