Wouldn't work for our E4GT, would it? No CDMA overseas correct? Just wondering. I mean, I am open to being the Guinea pig, I think.

Japan has cdma! But don't flash it. It'll Bork nearly everything.

Yes best not flash it. Its barely usable on the gsm gs2 let alone ours lol.

Yep. I read in a similar thread someone flashed it, and now their computer, odin, nothing recognizes their phone. Tough break.

Can't believe some of the stuff people do in here or the things they post... If this was really for our phones why not just wait for a developer to put it all together for you... Haste makes waste...SMDH
I hope someone comes up with a solution for their phones because it was more than 1 person that flashed it...

so, does that mean an official OTA in 2013? haha **troll**

When I was a noob, it wouldn't go near something like this unless I read that 200people have done it succesfully before me. I wouldn't even think of just flashing something unless it was cleary stated it was for my phone and had step by step instructions on what to do and I would confirm about 50x that it was for my phone before actually falshing it.
Now that I am no longer a noob and would like to consider myself a veteran at flashing, I even stay further away from these things. lol

+1 Back in 2009 when I first started modding (a Motorola Razr) I stumbled onto XDA. After getting my wizard 1st, and then my excalibur (t Mo Dash), I made sure I read everything thrice, even 4 times, before flashing. I was a lot more gung-ho back then. After totally bricking my Fender MT3G, I take more caution. I am super ocs now with my E4GT (best device I've ever owned), so I was just kidding about the guinea pig thing, lol.

Nowadays the rule of thumb is to never use ROM manager to install cwm unless its specifically stated to do so by devs for that particular model. I've seen it cause too many bricks. It may work but it may also brick u. U are better off using the recovery provided here.

I am currently running TWRP to see if the IMEI goes missing using it. If so we can rule CWM out of possibilities.
Gotta say though, I am liking it more than CWM. Give TWRP a try. :laugh:

The file manager in TWRP see's my external SD. I am sure you can flash from it.
I only ever flash from internal though.

I came from infuse too and the individual thing scared me. Right now I have the opinion that if I am going to lose my imei I want to do it while I am still In the 30 day return period with best buy

Well, if you've checked the IMEI thread and read my posts I've done quite a lot today using TWRP. Even restored back to stock unrooted via Odin straight from JB AOKP. I'm not sure if it's how CWM does something with the partitions or what. I used TWRP because there weren't any reports, so I wanted to test and see.

Hard Bricked?

I accidentally flashed a pit file in Odin which I think was made for a Galaxy Vibrant, my other phone.
The phone wont boot at all. When I plug it into the computer, the computer makes noise like it registers it though. The normal 'ding' sound followed by an error-like sound.
Is there any fix?

And I want you to know that I was laughing at Rushing's comment, not your dilemma. I'm sorry you bricked your phone. If this does not get moved to the Q&A section soon, you may want to ask the question again there. I'm sure someone will chime in there with helpful comments, even if it's just to confirm that you need a new phone. I've never had to deal with more than a soft brick, so I'm not sure if a jig will help you or not.

You screwed your phone. You flashed a vibrant file on a T989. I've done this mistake when I was a super noobie thinking a "galaxy s2" name applied to all of them and I flashed a I9100 on my T989. I enjoyed a night of disappointment before I was able to call and finally get my replacement sent (it was under 20 days, thank god!) if your not so lucky, your screwed. However if they will accept it and return it they wont question you at all as long as you are super-hard bricked and cant boot or get into download mode or anything.

If you happened to change the recovery via odin, which I think you did, for something that ain't xompatible with our phone, yes you're done.
Nothing can be done sadly

As long as you have root and are on zvb, you can download freegee from the market, the new version unlocks the bootloader and removes LG security and installs a custom recovery. Well worth the 1 $.

Hi guys. So my girlfriend dropped her iPhone 4s and smashed the screen to hell. Cough cough. Lol. Anyway I'm thinking I'm going to let her just have my epic touch. So I used triangle away app and also did a full stock restore. I'm wondering though could Sprint ever tell I had it rooted and had custom kernels before or should we be all set? Don't ask me why but she wants nothing to do with root. I gotta try to get you guys a pic of that phone though. It's pretty bad. Thanks.

Probably not. But I've heard of cases in the past where people would end up with a big charge on their bill all of a sudden. Most likely wouldn't happen now but better safe than sorry. Anyway I don't plan swap it out anytime soon but you never know.

I can honestly tell you that it is now an issue. Until we see things changed with the DCMA, it's now fair game to question all devices again, regardless of age. That's the way it's being handled.
I have sent a subject related question to our FSM's here for them to talk and discuss, while MSL obtaining talk is still OK, you have every reason to be concerned on what tech may look at. We have a few tech's in this forum who can speak better to what the directives are now on their level, but I do know that initial reps and managers have been instructed to pay more attention.
TL;DR - I know this is off topic from your op, but you're right to be concerned.
