First off, a huge thanks to our friend, Sextape! This leak is courtesy of him. All thanks and donations should go to him.
This leak is for the unreleased Samsung Epic 2 (SPH-D705)! It is build EG03. Build EG03 was an experimental build in preparation for the final build but where the decision was made to not release the phone this was the final build for it.
It is a Gingerbread based ROM and appears to be mostly compatible with the original Samsung Epic and the Samsung Epic 4G Touch with only minor modifications. I myself do not have an Epic to test on so I haven't been able to do much with it. I've played around with it on the E4GT and have had relative success porting it over but I've got to many other projects on my plate to spend too much time on it.
I am posting it here for those that are interested in taking on the challenge.
The leak is in a TAR format and contains all the image files for flashing. I've taken them apart and they appear to be very similar to the stock GB for the Epic and the E4GT.
The TAR file is packaged within a self extracting 7zip archive. Once extracted the contents can be flashed as a full TAR file with Odin or Mobile Odin. The individual components can be extracted from the TAR file and also be flashed the same way. Links to both Odin and Mobile Odin are in Post #2.
At this point I've only posted the full TAR. If there is enough demand I can split out the contents and create flashable ZIP etc.
Files: SPH-D705_EG03.exe
Enjoy!

Yep. Same gpu, same system structure, same odin image structure. For you epic touch users, this may not be worth porting. Its old and will probably be the same as any other 2.3.4 stock rom. I would assume the ui and apps are the same.
That's not to be rude. Thank you for the leak. I'm definitely going to port it to the og epic though.

D705 huh... so is it only half of what the E4GT is? Was this what was supposed to be the 2nd generation of the original Epic and the idea was scrapped???

Essentially, an epic touch with keyboard, but rwilco12 says it was cancelled due to the epic touch's surprisingly good sales.
The leaks said it was going to have an overclocked hummingbird processor like the one found in the epic, however it actually had the same processor as the epic touch (at least as of the time this build was made).

So if the D705 does make it to a carrier like Cricket for example it could run ported versions of our ROM's?

The link that says which part? I know its the exynos processor because it has the mali gpu drivers. And the part about the epic touch having better sales than expected was said by rwilco12 (the OP) in the OG epic thread about this.

For those that are interested I managed to track down the RDF for this build. Has some interesting things about the devices intended specs and such (remember to view in IE).
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D705/EG02.rdf
Enjoy!
Now that's interesting - this sounds like the repacked GS(I) that T-Mo and others released. Specs are almost identical to what was being described above... faster processor, less memory but a great phone if you wanted something better than the original GS but don't need the GSII.
Wouldn't this be a variant then of the i9001?

More like the captivate glide and s2 series since this build had exynos4 chip files like mali gpu files and not powervr.

Hi Guys,
Not sure if anyone has looked into this yet as its pretty new, but Chainfire has built an odin app that can run directly on the phone. Epic 4g is not yet supported but I've provided the info needed to get support (Post# 243). Hopefully we will get support in a near version!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
EDIT: I discovered xboxfanj has already provided the Epic info a couple days ago (was searching for sph-d700), props to you for submitting first, but it looks like he needs dump from stock RFS filesystem so hopefully my dump (on EI22 deodexed/pre-rooted stock) will satisfy the requirement. Especially because we don't have a EI22 tar yet for an easy way to get back to stock.

A quick look at Chainfire's thread shows that version 1.2 has support for the Epic TOUCH, not the original. I'll try to get a hold of him to see if the Touch at least has enough similarities that the original Epic can also be supported.

Not sure if this was already posted, at least I didn't see it. Anyway, if it was, my apologies. Just wanted to pass along.
According to the Sprint website
12/15 update - for those devices where the update has started but did not complete successfully, there will be a fix available soon. The target is next week, but nothing 'official yet'. I don't have information on whether it will be a new OTA push or available only via the Service Centers, but will post an update as soon as I learn more.
It seems like there were more than a few issues on the whole EG30/31 thing so they need to do it again, lol. I'm just wondering if now they will take the opportunity to just combine it with the EL13 update.
What?!?!? A Samsung update that just causes more issues? Nooooo....

I was wondering the same. Maybe a OTA that has CIQ stripped out. Sprint is obviously trying to save face right now. They are trying to keep us at bay. Look what happened once we started bombing everyone with CIQ info.

I wouldn't be surprised of Sprint isn't removing CIQ software.

If just for the modem.bin provided it is not dialed down like the previous leaks. I figure our existing kernels would still work on it.

As of now it's unsure whether the valuepack is included in any test roms for the Epic 4G. We won't know til we see them. Also, Samsung claims the valuepack didn't work very well on the Galaxy series and has stopped working on it.

Hmmm...then maybe someone with some spare time can look at the portability of the i9000 leak. It is mostly just a theme with a few new apps. Can't see why Samsung would give up so easily on it. Good thing they didn't think GB didn't work well on the Epic after 8 months of test builds.

A new ICS rom has posted. The latest release now is FF18. It is ICS 4.0.3 4.0.4. This is the 40th version. They already have had a FF16, FF11, FF09, FF02, FE26, FE22, FE21, FE16, FE14, FE10, FE07, FD26, FD24, FD19, FD16, FD14, FD10, FD05, FD02, FC24, FC22, FC18, FC17, FC15, FC14, FC13, FC07, FC06, FC05, FC02, FB29, FB27, FB24, FB21, FB17, FB15, FB10, FB09, and FB04. So I would say they are almost done. Here is a link to the rdf page. It helps if you view it in Internet Explorer. View the page source to see the hidden info.

QBKING77 did a nice little video showing where the RDF page is and the important parts to look at. Here is the link for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to give him a thumbs up on his video.
HERE IS FF18!!!
Stock Roms
Sextape's stock unrooted tar for FF18
Sfhub's One Click Odin with full restore and rooted for FF18
This is a one click tar file with root that will load FF18. There are instructions on the thread. He also has the individual components available to download and flash through odin(tar, modem, kernel).
Datajosh's FF18 Stock, Rooted, Odexed/Deodexed ICS 4.0.4 This is a stock rooted rom.
Custom Roms
Team Rejectz's Touched by SGSIII(FF18)
Wicked Sensations Rom™(FF18)
Phantom's Blazer Rom(FF18)
Mijjah74's MIJJz BLEND ICS(multiple versions)
Team Venum's BOA VeNuM's Own(FF18)
VeNuM's VeNuM ICE Rom(FF18)
Agat63's tFF18_v0.1.0(FF18)
RUJELUS22's The Blu Kuban (FF18)
Team Rejectz's Supernova Rom (FF18)
Other ICS ROMS

MIJJz's "Slim-n-Trim" AOKP
CyanogenMod 9
Custom Kernals
Agat63's Recovery Kernel(FF11)
ReActiceDisorders's Clockwork Mod Kernal(FE10)
This rom is very stable but might have some lingering bugs. Take some time and read the thread before flashing.

At least we know there is active development. Now hopefully we can get a leak.

Just keep checking sammobile.com for the leak. Click the "firmware" tab and do a search for "d710". The ics ROM will start with FB. Its not there yet but I am betting it will be soon. When you find it post it here on XDA. Don't install it until the devs fix it. If you just go and install it you will probably lose root and I am not sure if they know how to root it yet.

I have a way of knowing when things are coming down the tube. That is all I am saying. But, I think we will be seeing something pop up in the next week based off previous times. I am not sure though. It just seems like that is what has happened everytime now. The best part is we know it is getting done as we speak.
One more thing. I wrote last night it was Android version 4.0.4. Well the first RDF was. Here is the link to it.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-D710/FB09.rdf
The second one(FB10) appears to be 4.0.3. Personally the only number I can about is the first one.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The number doesn't matter I think, at least it didn't when they were sending updates. In the leaked updates wasn't the Android version listed as 2.3.3 but they were always released as 2.3.6?

Been searching around the forums and can't seem to find any info.just wondering if there is a CM7 build for our phone. I figure 7 would be more stable and complete than 9 at this point considering it is still in alpha. Even cyanogen mods main site doesn't really acknowledge our variant on the galaxy s2.
Seems all GB roms are on 2.3.4, are there any on 2.3.7? I know there isn't much difference. My old backflip had this version and I was curious how it would run on E4GT.
And yes I have used the search button.

Let me know how that runs if you do manage to install it, I'm not very anxious to run CM9, AOSP, AOKP, or anything ICS untill we have source and can be built from the ground up rather than borrow from here and there. That CM7 is a really small file, just seems like it should run great on the phone. Thanks.

I was really asking about kernels in general. Seems like every ROM wants you to go back to 26 before doing anything. Just was wondering why not 29? What issues would arise from using 29 as a base vs. 26?
