New User Trying to Learn - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I ordered my Epic Touch today and it should be here either Saturday or Monday. This will be my first Samsung device and before I receive my phone I would like to become familiar with everything related to rooting and flashing ROMs. Can you all help me out?

Since you say you just ordered it. I'm assuming it's new from Sprint. It should come with EL29.
The best place to start is here with a fresh device:

Step by step. Pause if you have to. qbking77 is great for this. He takes your hand and walks you through everything.
Seems like a lot of stuff on the XDA links, but if you watch the video, he'll tell you exactly what to download. Some little things got updated with the files/names, but you should be able to figure it out.

Well welcome to the community just follow the information the users above posted and you will be fine.. The information can be overwhelming but but far from impossible.. Enjoy your device & wish you much luck

Thanks guys! I'm already learning a lot and look forward to learning more. I'll probably stay away from ICS roms until the source stuff is integrated to significantly reduce my chances of bricking.

That's good to know..!.. And do what's best for you.. I was going to go into explaining the ICS.. But honestly if you only feel comfortable flashing GB rom then do that until you read up and learn on everything.. It's plenty of great GB builds out

The new kernel from the source is out. Its in the wiki section under kernels. Its safe for flashing ICS to ICS. They disable the "brick bug" So by all means if you want to try ICS it should be safe to do so. Make sure you follow the dev's instructions.

Ding is right.. And the other day way which was to mobile odin an el26 kernel and wipe from there to flash your ics rom.. But with the new source kernel out its all good... Just was throwing that other info at you

So what would be the method of flashing to an ICS ROM from a GB ROM now with the source kernel?

From my understanding as agats said in the link below. If you are on a GB rom just make sure it has clockwork mod kernel repack or it won't boot. Flash the kernel on there and flash your ics ROM

Just go into CWM wipe data, cashe, and delvic cashe. Then flash rom. Or use calkulin format all zip. It does it for you. I can't find the link atm but if ya use the search button you can find it.

Yes sir, I'll probably end up doing it tomorrow, I just wanted to wait a few days for things to settle down around here, was also waiting to see the final verdict from entropy/sfhub/garwynn etc on the safety of the kernel regarding the emmc issue, I've been busy at work the past few days and haven't had time to try to follow their absurdly technical posts

[KERNEL/ROM/RECOVERY] Stock EL13 2.3.6 Rooted w/ Rogue Recovery 1.1.2

GENERAL INFORMATION
This is Calkulin's stock rooted EL13 2.3.6 ROM/Kernel, with Rogue Recovery v1.1.2.
The only modifications I made were adding Rogue Recovery v1.1.2 to Calkulin's ROM, and modified the updater-script to format /data.
I made this for my own personal use, and thought I would share it in case anyone else was interested in it. I'm not trying to get rich and famous, claim anything as my own, or even do anything even remotely amazing or interesting here. If I possibly saved you a couple of minutes by downloading and flashing one .zip instead of two, that is why this is here. I'm not interested in how many people give me thanks or donations or anything like that, I just thought I'd try to put this out there if it might be helpful to anyone.
If your not interested in this, that is fine with me. This really isn't anything special and may not be much help to you. I get that. I'm not interested in cluttering things up with negative posts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Make a backup in your current recovery
Download zip from link below
Place zip on sdcard
Boot into recovery and install zip
Let the phone boot back up fully, then update profile and PRL
Reboot
KERNEL/ROM/RECOVERY DOWNLOAD
FLASHING THIS ZIP WILL FORMAT /DATA

I copied the instructions from Steady Hawkin's post. Maybe he can elaborate on why it is necessary, or if it really is.

I saw that Steady Hawkin was going to make a repack with Rogue Recovery, which I had already made for myself, so I thought I would share in case anyone was interested. yglaotu said he wanted this, you obviously not interested, and that is fine with me. Steady Hawkin now has an extra five minutes that he can devote to something else more important than this simple repack.

Solved

I tried to search a little bit for this and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to flashing ROMS (just flashed my first one yesterday - blazer 3.7) and I am wondering what the correct procedure for flashing a new ROM would be.
Blazer 3.8 is coming out soon so that would be what I would flash to (if it makes any difference since they are both blazer). If there is a difference, what would it be? Thanks in advance for any help.

Flaming aside and lesson learned and research done.
Flashing from 1 Rom to New different Rom:
1. Hold power button + Volume up (until you get to recovery)
2. Backup your setting (NAND)
3. Wipe Dalvic, Wipe Cache, Reset to factory setting
And or flash Calkulin's_Format_All_For_E4GT.zip

Direct link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771828&d=1320435068
4. Install zip from (sd or wherever you have it saved)
5. Reboot (first reboot could take up to 5mins before your running)
Note: If your updating same to the same Rom, read OP (original post) and most of the time you don't have to do factory reset (meaning you don't have to reinstall all your apps again)
Gokd luck
Thanks for the tips. If I have apps on my sd card will they be deleted as well?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Factory reset will delete all your apps/photos etc... Backup specially your photos etc.. Apps you can always reinstall. You have to either manually reinstall everything (which is what I do) OR use back up and restore apps like Titanium Back etc...
As fun as flashing is, you will probably run into problems at first... Use Q& A section or do NAND restore (very important to have)

No, they won't, all apps on internal/external sd are safe. Just wipe /cache & /dalvik cache when upgrading same ROM. Add /system to that for moving between ROMs ... now you had better git before the flames begin again!

I would like a easy explanation how to update it to ICS rom with RTL fix (Im from israel so I need hebrew to work on this device, RTL)

Use this to root:
Here
Use this to install a ROM:

Both have Step by Step instructions with a video to help.
I don't why people always say they need to root first, it's BS.
All you do is use odin to flash CWM. No need to flash SU if you are gonna flash a custom rom. I just think people don't know what rooting means or does.
All you need is a custom recovery like CWM, then flash a rom.
If you are staying stock sure, flash cwm and then SU to root it.
Please don't confuse the OP. I mean sure he can do what you said, but rooting first is a sort of standard that everyone follows.

the only difference between the two is one has the aroma installer the one i posted works fine ive tested it myself.
And to everyone who cant get camera working you HAVE to do a factory reset for the camera to work properly i know it sucks but at least youll have a camera!

original install with aroma= no camera for me, i reverted back to venom#666 and it fixed the issue..all is great in my phone now...these are my findings for my phone ..thanks alot JPOKeefe! i have my DD and yes it still is an AOKP..
I flashed this with the venom 666 kernel.
So far so good for me. camera works (although it has the green flash glitch on display - works just fine though and I can live with that), as does GNow+Voice.
Up until now, it was a one or the other type scenario where one would work, but the other wouldn't.
I'm restoring apps now, will try out a few things (netflix, youtube) later to see how they do.

Youtube seems to be working just fine for me, but I cannot get Netflix to play any videos.
Good ROM for a DD. Like others mentioned, Camera, Gnow+voice, Youtube work great. Netflix streaming is not working right now. Noise suppression is unchecked by default and needs to be manually checked once. I wish this was opposite after install. Can't wait for more AOKP features to be implemented. Great work!

Coolest Rom?

I tried to install latest illusion and liquid JB 2.4 but dont like them, internet doesnt work on liquid jb and there is also no market app on either one, not sure if its the ROMS or my installation.
Now can any one plese help me to find the rom that has best features (good bettery life could be a bonus).
thanks in advance.
Your install process is way off. There are support threads and q&a's and instructions in the OP of the thread... No such thing as a "coolest rom" try them for your self with proper install procedures before saying they're ugly or don't work.

Coolest ROM?
That made me laugh.
You need to go through and pick which ROM or ROMs fit your needs. No one can pick a ROM for you, another members ideal ROM may not be your ideal ROM.
As for the installation process and having certain apps not being there or not working properly, you need to read the first post of the thread, also know as the OP. Reading it will let you know what to download and how to install/flash it through recovery.
Here's some advice that will save you in the future:
-read the first post/op of each thread
-have questions or problems with the ROM? Read the first and last 10 pages of the thread, if the problem isn't addressed or your question isn't answered, then politely ask for help.
-Google is your "friend", usually typing your issue followed by xda in the search bar and you'll find what your looking for

Ok thanks for your help guys. i'm not sure what i did wrong. here are the steps that did and one of you might be able to help me.
Downloaded odin and rooted and installed cwm through GalaxyS3RootUSCanada.zip (http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/)
Downloaded the Rom and installed it --> cleared cache etc.
Now is there a problem with installing CWM throuth this file?
Why didn't you just use the toolkit stickied in development? I know nothing about the software you linked to.

Maybe you should read the op before installing something.
Clearly says you have to flash gapps after flashing liquidsmooth. This is why you don't have the playstore.

Agree here. Never understood why folks would go to that site, then come here to find support for it.
Either root66 or cf-autoroot is the best and easiest imo.

Beats me but I won't give support for things sourced outside of XDA. Not just because XDA always has the best but because I know nothing about external offerings.

Khanbaba59, there is no "cool rom" so to speak. You have to read up on which is best for you, then try them. Be sure to READ the OP on installation process to avoid anything going wrong.
As your questions have been answered, I will close this now as it will cause confusion and bickering about roms.
