This discussion is only for user's who have had their E4GT flashed to Boost.
I have tried almost all the roms. Including the Samsung Boost leaks. When I'm on all the ICS roms I get a data error then update profile and it's gone for a while but comes back often. I have been running Calk's 3.0 GB and never have a data error.
Of course, that is why my daily is the aforementioned Calk 3.0.
Anyone have any similar experiences?

I wonder if you have to flash anything anymore now that E4GT is on boost legitimately.

And how about 4G any to loose it when flash a sprint rom???
bumping this up because I have the same wondering mind as acrown.
Contract is up with sprint, would like to move to boost, but the Sprint S2 is cheaper than Boost's
Wondering if I could tinker with a Sprint version on a Boost ROM.
Guess no one has gotten that creative yet? Too soon?

I've used both paranoid Rom 2.2 (which I'm currently using) and the stock ff18 Rom and have never had the 3g stop or anything related to that and I'm on boost. I also wrote an updated guide on how to COMPLETELY flash that can be found somewhere in the older flash to boost thread in this section.

In order to have working 4g you need to clone or change your 4g mac address to a working active sprint address or a clear mac. Reference this thread for more info.

Your will not lose 4g once you have done this by just changing roms since this setting sticks.

Have tried both the Boost leaks and many of the Sprint roms. Currently I use Calk's gb 3.0 since it doesn't give me any data error's. Since I don't know anyone who has gotten a E4GT from Boost I have no way of knowing what if any the difference is. I created this thread because I wanted to know if Boost user's were getting data error's on ics. Still haven't gotten any feedback on that.

More specifically since both replies relate.... Boost has this with 4G now...I mean same network essentially right? I would THINK in my tiny little mind that the need for a full BOOST flash plus additional 4G mac tinkering may not be completely necessary outside changing some minor things? ...I guess that's more where I was headed with that question, but it will end up rooted and flashed anyway...
Rigel, I'll move my wandering mind to a new thread if you prefer.

Lol. Both leaked Boost roms are full Boost roms. I do know that unlike hacked Sprint phones flashed to Boost the 4g option will start at 55 and shrink from there.

I have a sprint epic that is on a different service. My problem is its running 2.1. I would like to get it up to 2.2 if possible. or is it safe to one click root?
I do not wanna screw up my service.
(Not sure if i can mention the service its on because some forums don't allow it)
Roms generally don't affect service, unless you flash the wrong modem. 2 things: look at syndicate rom frozen 1.1.0 in the development section and learn how odin works then you will be a much happier epic user. Whatever you do GET OFF 2.1 !!!!

so i can pretty much do the one click root and just dont mess with the modem by flashing anything different and it should be safe to flash those rom?
Mines on boost... you can change the modem np.. and the rom, they don't affect most service settings except mms settings. For tha I recommend apn back up and restore from the market

Not an expert in this matter but my best bet is, no. I don't think that you will need a - cricket - branded Rom, the configuration you'll so to force the phone to that network has nothing to do with the Rom itself, but some apps like the Sprint branded ones might not work.
Just my 2ct.

Don't do it man. The service is REAL spotty. I know sprints isn't much beetter a lot of the time, but its a major step down. If you d/l and surf a lot you'll hate it. I did it to my last one, and got a 3vo for the line, and low and behold I'm back w spritn service and my og evolution runnin decks 1.3/ Lee combo. I get 1550 quadrant scores overclocked, and 1450's at 998w smartass. My d/l speeds are high 4s w 1-3 uploads w wimax. I couldn't get close to half that w cricket. The quadrants comparable, but that doesn't affect your data. Its your choice bro, but I strongly suggest keeping sprint and waiting for lte service and devices. There's gonna be some sick ass phones coming out. Good luck either way.

Okay so here is my story.
I have had this phone since it was first released. I have rooted my phone successfully and I have been using custom rom's since gingerbread.
Whenever I install ICS roms, the 4G will always fall to <100kbps on the speed test app. When I go back to gingerbread the 4G speeds are normal.
I've tried about 20 different ICS modems and kernels on various ICS roms and I get the same results.
Just today I went to the Sprint store and got my phone replaced thinking maybe I just had a bad phone. I just installed another ICS ROM and I'm getting the same Bull**** 4G speeds... WTF (I'm tight)
Any advice, tips, ideas, or am I just a duncebat?

I get that same problem. And it gets stranger still. I pay for 30Mbps internet at home. If I speed test on my computer, I get 30, or damn close to it. But when I speed test on my phone, I get a whopping 10. Since wimax is wifi, I am guessing that its a problem in the modem related to wifi. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey guys,
After two years of use, I finally managed to shatter the screen on my HTC EVO 4G. Now that I'm due for an upgrade, I'm going with Epic Touch 4G as LTE network won't be in my area for another year.
I've been browsing the forums and after lots of reading, my head is spinning.
There's all these acronyms.. like FF18 I don't understand.
I'm getting a brand new Samsung SII Epic Touch 4G tomorrow from a Sprint Store.
I plan on using some form of Cyanogenmod if available.
There are TONS of root threads that I've found - Where do I start? Which one should I go with?
Sorry if it's noobie questions, but I appreciate any answers. Thanks!
Read the stickies sections in the forums. Ff18 is a ice cream sandwich build, its just the build date. F=2012 f=June 13th. Fh13= 2012 August 13th etc. Qbking77 has helpful videos on YouTube. Just read in the forums a lot and read the stickies section and you will pick it up. Enjoy the phone. It depends on what build you are on to root. Sfhub has one clicks for every build I think.

No rom will require a modem to be flashed. As modems are sepreate from the roms. Only time you will flash a rom/kernel/modem all in one is the one click .tar odin. You can flash modems independently.

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the help.
I have successfully rooted my Epic 4G Touch and flashed CM9 Alpha 6 on it.
Thanks SO much to QBKing77 for his very intuitive and simple videos.
My next question involves CM9 and Wireless Hotspot
I noticed that whenever I activate Hotspot, my 4G disconnects and falls back to 3G.
I have searched on Google and saw that this is a relatively common problem, but is there a fix? If not, are there any other AOSP ICS-based ROMs I could use that have portable wifi hotspot available with 4G?
Thanks again guys.

Virgin Mobile's new S2 is actually just an E4GT with VM branded software. VM runs on Sprint towers, but if we flash your roms certain things won't work. I'm here to ask if any devs would be willing to help us. Our forum is on phandroid, but most of you guys are on xda. Like I said, your roms will boot but certain things (mms/4g/3g) won't work. If anyone would be willing to help us, please contact me on xda or find our forum on android forums (it's under "Samsung Galaxy S2 4G"). Thanks and merry Christmas.

One thing I'm going to experiment with after activating the GN2 today is a quick flash of CSC data. The goal would be that you flash this image in Odin after a build and it will apply the correct settings.
Now keep in mind I won't be able to test beyond flashing as this phone will be deactivated. But if it works - and I should be able to see what the settings are at least - I'll put it out there for others to test.
Until then the best way to get around it is to modify the settings manually. Sprint, Boost and Virgin are the same h/w, all the issues you are experiencing are settings based only.
I'm quite curious about this... Will the Sprint rom work for this phone? Or would I lose some kind of functionality?
I'm about to recieve Virgin Mobile's S2 and I don't want to run into any kind of issues :laugh:

Sprint touchwiz doesn't have files to work with virgins mms. That's why there's no tw fix yet, only cm10. You can read more about it in one of the mms fix threads, but I can't remember which one. I'd expect it to be okay with the virgin Mobile rom sextape is going to release soon though. :fingerscrossed:
