Overwhelmed - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello guys, I'm new to this side of the forum as i owned an HTC evo shift before buying this phone. I've read and re read all the stickied rooting threads yet I'm still confused as to what i must do. All i want is root, no custom roms or anything fancy yet. I know i have ICS 4.0.4 and that's about as far as my knowledge goes. I apologize for being such a noob.

Well you can Odin FF18 root +cwm. That's sfhub's on click Odin. But they have the new FH13 as well too.

That sound perfect. All i want at the moment is root access, stock rom.

Right on. Just asking. And using sfhubs threads, and now garwynn's as well, will get you there. Just had to ask cause that post I linked has the same info. Well, not updated with what Garwynn's putting out.
And the naming convention refers to when it was dated.. Alphabetically for year/month and numerically for date of the month.

Ya I know I need to update that...I've been lazy because even if it is updated daily we still get ~10 new q&a threads a day about info in there (for example info on the naming conventions for stock roms is in there!).... garwynn has been doing 1clicks of the new leaks correct? I'll have to add that in, unfortunately I've been working 60 hour weeks and trying to teach myself to build aokp so I having put much time to maintaining that thread...

Wasn't meant as a dig and I hope you didn't take it that way.
Garwynn has the rooted oc fh13, which is linked in rwilco's thread, but I believe the xda references point to the sxtp forum.
I may have made an observation that I shouldn't have put out on the post. Sorry. Was just giving recognition for the latest.
Your guide is good to point to and I use it in responses like I did here.
Again, no offense meant.

Oh none taken at all, no problem man just over justifying my lazyness as I've been meaning to update/organize that for weeks now! Glad to see some people do actually read stickies! Although you don't need it, its getting those who do to that's the problem!

if you have enough posts to post in development, you have been here long enough to know this goes in q&a, and to know to look at some stickies or something first.. i know the search sucks, but come on...
I just flashed an EC05 ROM over the GB ROM; I don't use Odin unless I have to.
As long as your EXT4 its no issue.
you can use eh17 modem on ec05- if that is what is being asked. the gb leaks have too many issues (FC) for some people to use on their daily phones.

I've posted in the wrong section once -- not because I was oblivious to which sections to post things, but because I genuinely believed that was the correct location to post to. In such a situation, one should be apologetic rather than defensive. I think it borders on ungratefulness for someone with 120 posts (and therefore probably knows what chris has done for the scene) to call him an @hole.
musikalharmony said:
Don't be an asshole chris. I didn't know that or id put it there wouldn't you think so there for keep your comments to yourself. Its never that serious
All you had to say is next time post in q&a. Anyway thank you qbking and everyone else

why are you going to wait a week or so? why not just do it now?
Welcome to the E4GT and welcome to XDA...
Hopefully the reason for waiting is because you never rooted a phone before. If that is the case, as easy at it is to root this phone, reading about everything first is the way to go...
If you do not about rooting and have done it before, no need to wait. It can be done in a matter of minutes.
Wait... Whats the point of this thread again? lol.

Boot to Gecko

Okay so I go to the Android Central website and see this article about Boot to Gecko >> http://www.androidcentral.com/sunday-project-mozillas-build-gecko-your-android-smartphone. I've heard of it before, even seen a demo video. But this is the first time I've heard of it openly being compiled. I know we have a lot of dev's in this forum and I was wondering if anyone plans on compiling and seeing if it is possible to get this running on the Epic 4G Touch.
Not that I'm a coder or volunteering, but I read the article and the "Why the hell are you doing this" section didn't answer one question - Why would you do this?
Basically, what's the benefit/outcome/result from doing such?

I don't want anyone to do it for me. If I did I would go over to the dev forum and look for an able-bodied person to do it. I was just wondering if anyone planned on compiling it for the Epic 4G Touch. If you would have watched the video you would have heard him say that it took three hours to compile it. I'm sure a few of the dev's here would be able to compile in fraction of the time it took for him to compile it.

YouTube it. I forgot what show I saw it at, though. It was either CES or MWC. Someone made a video and posted the demo on YouTube. At the time I thought it was cool. I just hope it doesn't turn out MIUI. I actual thought MIUI was good until I installed and realized that I had get into the market in order to get an app drawer. What good is an operating system, if you have to go to the market to add a default feature?
Right on. Will do.
