lost my root, how to get it back? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all -
long story, i was playing around with a few app that had temp unroot ability, and I actually permanently lost my root. Does anyone know how I can get it back? I have CM9 beta4 currently on my Epic.

Reflash CM9 should do it.

Questions on bonsai 4.0

First and formost my phone is on stock eb13 with genocide kernel, rfs, and rooted with oneclickroot v2.5.5 and am still really new to all of this so please help me out.
First I was wondering if I can flash bonsai right away or if I need the new clockwork 3.x with ext4?
Second I was wondering if anyone on this rom is having any of the same battery charging problems as those caused by the new syndicaterom with twilight kernel on ext4?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Well if you get the chance please try it out because thats the only thing stopping me from getting this rom... The fear of not being able to charge while it is off, thanks in advance!

Pretty sure Bonsai scans your phone and formats it for EXT4 if it isn't already. It backs up your data and restores it, too. Just do a complete backup then flash it. If it is a no go, just restore.

Mine charges fine while off.
Anyone using Sprint Navigator? Please check how many satellites it finds under Share & More/Diagnostics. I have 2 epics, 1 on Bonsai and 1 with just stock and Genocide, and both report 1 satellite and 10% GPS. GPSTest reports 9 Satellites and Google Nav works fine (hate the voice and graphics).
Thanks.
Can't install extras...
I tried installing the removed apps, and when running from "Install from SD Card" it says it is aborted and not installed. Any secret I am missing out on?

So can we just flash this over 3.0.0? And does it remove currently installed Sprint apps? Hate to reinstall those again.
Thanks.

Live Wallpaper
I installed the missing live wallpaper files to the system/app folder on the phone but I cant get them to show up. I read something about changing the permission of the files, but have no idea how to do it.
Help!
Love the Rom so far!
~G
Finally found it. Used Ghost Commander to change the permissions. Live Wallpaper is back but some seem to be missing from the stock selection that came with the phone. No worries.
Okay I finally pulled everything off and now have bonsai4all on my phone but for some reason I can't connect to wifi any more? It does come up, and I did save the ip address, but now, for some odd reason, it won't connect to it... help?

Go into settings, manage applications, find the app and clear data and cache. That worked for me on wifi tether.

Wait, what app am I looking for to fix my wifi problem?

Bluetooth not working since I've rooted and changed roms

I was wondering if there's anyway I can fix my bluetooth?
It had not worked since I've rooted my phone months ago, even changed roms and what not.
I've searched on here for it and couldn't find any topics on this and if I missed it then I apologize for asking .
Thanks in advance.

My suggestion is to Odin to EC05 stock and get it working again and then root and flash a Gingerbread ROM then make sure it still works.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Thank you, ill try that once I get home today and ill let u know if that worked.

Sprint S3 rooted freezes

A lot... any help?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
More details please.....What ROM are you on, how did you root it, have you tried unrooting, going back to stock?
It's unlikely that being rooted is the problem here since thousands of users root their phones without freezing problems. Could be a hardware issue, a ROM or kernel issue, or an app you installed.
I would assume he's on stock. If I'm right then its not necessarily related to rooting as stock jb tends to freeze like this with some apps

Various problems on phone.

Hey guys I'm having some problems on miui and my phone in general. I have no root permission in miui and it force closes when I try to enter the app. Also I can't log onto xda if I'm not on WiFi.
This is probably my fave ROM and want to avoid going back. I don't have 4g and if I do its very slow and also my phone will cut in and out. I was wondering if there's any work a rounds to my problems, I flash correctly and fix permissions after I flash so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm scared of my imei corrupting cause its happened a few times and can't back it up with miui cause I don't have permissions. I just reflash it and that works. I'm using cwm. Seems like literally nothing else I've tried works, flashing wise. Could it be my version of cwm is out dated? Also wondering if anyone has ever replaced their screen with one that's $14 off amazon and if the 7000 Nah battery is real. Thanks if anyone is able to answer my questions
