I am trying to root an Epic 4G (SPH-D700). I have been everywhere on here and it seems all the info for this build version either doesnt work or is outdated. Any help would be appreciated!
GINGERBREAD.FC09 - Build
2.6.35.7 - Kernel
2.3.6 - Firmware
Not sure how hard you searched but here you go.

Unfortunately, I have a Mac and Kies doesn't work on it for me. I will have to use Odin on another computer.
Can you confirm that this is the Odin verson?

1.) Download and install Samsung Kies
2.) Plug your phone in.
3.) If you are on stock, Kies will notify you that you have an update available.
4.) Happy Flashing.
Please discuss the receiving of JB in the sticky thread
Thanks

Hey everybody, I just have a question about the boot-loader, can I flash firmwares that's in a ftf or using update service when I have a Xperia S with locked bootloader using the Sony method? Or do they just talk about when you update your phone using the update app on your phone? I'm just curious because I don't want to brick my new phone.
Yes
Ok any links on how I do this?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Is it so hard to type on google or youtube "How to flach a stock firmware with locked Bl?"
I bet you will find a answer to your question.
Anyway.. You can use flashtool to to flach a stock rom.. just download the latest .ftf file and install it on your phone using flashtool..
need tutorial? just watch at youtube.. its easy
Both of you need to stop, XDA is place where people help each other. If you do not know the answer or have no intention to contribute then stop posting irrelevant comments and bump up the thread.
Yes you posted in the right section. Thanks for that. :good:

And now to answer your questions-
Yes you can certainly flash any Stock ROM in your device, bootloader unlocking is not required for that. Bootloader unlocking is required if you only need to use custom ROM or custom kernel.
This is how to flash. Follow the steps. It's given with the screenshots
http://communities-origin.sonyericsson.com/message/398851
And finally you can search more, cause every new questions are being already answered somewhere in this forum of Xperia S.
Still to ease your trouble, I am sharing this thread-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876890
Ask anything there, it's greatly helpful.
Good luck.
It's just easy you need only flashtool and ftf file which holds your firmware:laugh:

I keep getting a notification to install this update. Will I lose root if I install it? What is it, just a new radio? It's the 3mb file.

If you're rooted, do you have the stock or a custom recovery installed? If it's custom then it won't go through. There is a flashable MB1 AIO zip in Freeza's thread. Simply flash that in CWM or TWRP and you won't get the notification anymore.

How to install:
1) Download onto sdcard.
2) Reboot into recovery and wipe everything.
3) Install Cm10 first, then install uantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
4) Enjoy.
If you brick your phone its not my problem.
Almost everything is broken. Do not ask for a fix. I did not mod or make this. This is just to get use to it.
Please give me some thanks
And seed.

Is this any better than it was on the Nexus 7 when it first came out? I haven't used it in a while, and most things were still unaccessible.
