I just moved here from Epic 4g forum,and I like that these threads are kept clean unlike old Epic forum.
I would like to suggest one thing though.I had to look through tons of pages to find out which modem/kernel/official rom update is the latest.
I ended up rooting through Odin EL29 rom and then double rooting in order to install cwm.And I still don't know which modem is the latest.
Plus on regular Epic it was better/recommended to update to latest official build rom before rooting and installing cwm,which I found out on here when installing cwm that cwm for older builds(EL29/26) was different from other cwm's.
It would be great if there was new thread in development section that stated which /modem/update/kernel was the latest,how to flash cwm if you already rooted and if I should update to latest update leak/kernel before flashing certain rom or cwm.
Just a suggestion for noobs or people that just got here,thanx.
Don't mean to be a a#$ but if you just looked you would be able to answer what questions you have or posed. Also their is a sticky in the development section its the E4GT wiki and it shows everything release dates for modems and links and anything else you may need. Its pretty up to date.

I was thinking the same thing lol. The modem threads in development are in order from old to new, and it even says so.

Thanx,on wiki there still is no way of telling which modem is latest,i wouldnt know that they wewre in that order if you didnt point it out.
Yea its confusing because of the letters and numbers. I wasn't sure at first myself when I was looking to flash the latest radio.
I saw on other threads where some owners like myself just got our phones on 7/1 and the latest update was added by sprint employees.
1. I followed the instructions here
and that didn't work even though odin showed it PASS i'm still seeing sprint recovery, not CWM. I downloaded the latest Odin 3.0.7.
2. I followed this here when I click on vol down/home/power it still brings me into the sprint recover, I point it to the Teamepic root from recover v4. and it failed with E: signature verification failed.
3. I found this here but I don't see anyone responded that tried it out yet, so I don't know if this is good or not.

You have to unplug the usb and pull the battery before the stock Rom boots, then go to recovery it should be cwm, then flash root zip

First, you should have put this in general or Q&A.
I had problems showing root after I applied the update as well. I flashed the previous version of superuser and then it worked. You have to make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin when flashing cwm v4. After complete, pull and replace battery and then try to boot into cwm.

1. Questions like this, in the future, beling in the Q & A section
2. You can root with the latest update > You need to flash the LATEST root method from team epic to prevent the stock recovery being reflashed upon boot
3. vol up + home + power = recovery menu ; vol down + home + power = download mode [odin]
Your question belongs in Q&A. You are not developing anything.

after you root be sure to check out VOODOO OTA root keeper
I've been a member at this site since 07 I just don't post much because I tend to find my answers by searching, so I know the rules and regulations!!!!, it was a simple mistake of logging the thread in the wrong section, I got it the 1st time someone said it.
No wonder people are leaving this board and finding others, 2 many people here on their high horse like you guys never made a mistake.
for the rest of you who replied, thanks, I will try that and see what happens.
Relax man...no body scolded you, they were simply explaining that you posted in the wrong section. Posting in the wrong section can clutter up the sections when you have so many members posting and looking for answers. That should be very understandable to you since you have been a member for so long. But I will say that when YOU come back with nasty replies to people, which no one did to you, telling everyone that they are the reason people are leaving this site, then all that does is create animosity and start arguments. Had you simply replied something more civilized such as "sorry everyone, I posted this in the wrong section by mistake". I think that would have looked far better from a veteran lurker such as yourself. Oh yeah, and I doubt a few people leaving this site because of their attitude problems and inability to get along with others or take criticism, is hardly going to hurt the number of members that are STILL members of this site....LMAO
Now you say you usually don't post because you find your own answer by searching. Well, had you searched a little further, you would have found the thread that states "[HOW TO] Easiest Root and Recovery: SGS3 LTE Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers"...and in that thread you would have found two things...
1. the link to the correct method to root from the CM Team Epic
2. the reason why you need to use a special method to root after the new sprint update
Now before you come back at me with some hateful words or statements, step back from the computer, take a deep breath, realize you messed up, and continue on with your mission of finding the information by clicking the link I posted above and finally rooting your phone.
Goodluck rooting
Cheers!

As per the dev, Supercuriou, update tools like KIES/Odin for Samsung devices make it so OTA Root Keeper does not work. In fact, when you open up the app for the first time, you see:
Useless with Samsung phones updated via KIES or Odin

So I was going to try out Cyanogen Mod on my CDMA One V, and I fastbooted the boot.img then the rom and gapps afterward. Well now no matter which rom I flash over to it, everything boots and works just fine, wifi, bluetooth, etc.... but mobile data will not connect what I try. I've tried flashing the stock boot.img to no avail, and even tried to unroot, I've tried to relock the bootloader, unroot and start over and still I can't connect to mobile data. I"m lost on what else I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I thought maybe I could flash the RUU but can't seem to find the Virgin Mobile version anywhere to give it a try.

Such a helpful response, wouldn't even have been so bad if you would have attempted to answer the question AT ALL. But I guess telling me that I have posted in the wrong section and that the post has been reported is worthy of a response. Haha
Even if you would have just posted some kind of help ALONG with the fact that I broke the sacred posting rules would have been great. But this site must not be about actually helping others, but instead the posting police making sure the rules are adhered to at all times.
Thanks again.:laugh:
Yes, this is the wrong section. No, its not ok to be rude when you're the one who needs help. No, its not ok to double and triple post because you failed to research before flashing. Yes had you taken the time to search before posting, you could have avoided this in the first place.
BTW: XDA is a site by, and for developers, and is not a help site. If you want help, this is not the way to ask for it. This attitude of "entitlemnt" will only work against you.

I did some forum searching & Googling but I'm not able to find a reliable, working method of getting CWM recovery on the Note II. I want to keep the stock ROM, but not the stock recovery. I'm rooted with stock recovery right now.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
look harder. Perhaps find a thread talking about root in the at&t noteII general forum.

"look harder"? That doesn't help me much. I used that "search in this forum" feature, where I typed in "clockworkmod" and came up with no results. A threat talking about rooting doesn't necessarily mean it will discuss CWM (I also checked the thread here for information on CWM, since that's the root method I used, but no dice). Not really sure which thread you want me to play hide & seek with.
Sorry to say but the person who responded to you is right... look for a thread that contains root for the note II
Really? You want to root your phone, but you are incapable of following simple directions? I did everything but give you a direct link to the thread. I told you which forum, which subforum, and a keyword to look for in the thread title.
If you aren't able to handle it, please DO NOT root your device and please DO NOT install a non-stock recovery.
Edit...im sorry guys...I want to keep this place pleasant and friendly.
I googled it and found it here and on the site I quoted.

Which part about my post is rude? I think you might be misinterpreting...
I'm very serious that if you are unable to find the post with the information you want based on the instructions I gave, that you have a high risk of screwing up your phone by flashing stuff on it. That's not being rude. That's trying to be helpful. Asking you to PLEASE not flash your phone is so I (and others like myself) don't have to spend the time trying to help you fix your phone afterwards (and so you don't have to spend the time asking for that help.)
Not everything on these forums is spelled out and spoon-fed to users. It's assumed that they have a certain amount of innate ability and prior knowledge. Lack of that ability and knowledge results in broken phones. I'm trying to help someone like that in another thread - they flashed the wrong thing to their phone and now, basically, they are screwed.
Granted, I might not come off as "newbie friendly" or even "user friendly." I'm an engineer. I'm one of the folks that make the things that people like you flash. For some reason people like me don't usually come off as being "nice."
I'm going to try (again) to be nice. Here's a link to a post I think it'd be good for you to read. This post tries to explain in a different way what I'm trying to say here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
I suspect that if/when you understand that post, you'll better understand my replies.
take care and good luck
Gary
Thanks, it's sometimes hard to read tone on here, so i apologize for any misunderstandings.
I think i have a really bad time finding information, not because I'm a newbie at flashing, but probably more so due to the fact that development in this phone is so fresh, there isn't much information to centralize yet. But once i find the information i need i can usually handle the work involved.
I ended up finding the post you were talking about (well, i can only assume). Unfortunately i didn't find a walkthrough or step by step instructions. But at least i know a better place to find the information.

Does it have to be cwm? Because for rooting, chainfire has cf root. And for recovery, twrp already supports our device. It's all in the original development sub forum. Won't be hard to find either. Those two things are the only threads existent there for now

Actually, that's a good idea. I had used the CWM Recovery originally on my i317, but found that when I tried to restore a backup I made with it, that nothing was actually restored. TWRP, on the other hand, seems to work okay backing up and restoring.

Twrp has come a long way. To be fully honest, I kinda hated it at first, I don't even have a clue why, since I didn't try it prior to forming those feelings about it. But then I actually got to flash it, after some self convincing, on my s2 lte and it grew on me very quickly. And now, I prefer it over cwm
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda premium
If you need exFAT then use CWM which comes with CF_root which you can find the Original Dev forums. Use Odin,click on PDA then select the CF-Root.*.att file. It's that easy.
One thing about TWRP is that it doesn't support exFAT formatted SDCards, so if you have a 64GB like most folks on here & need exFAT for larger than 4GB file size, then CWM is the only way to go.
I think i may just wait a bit until more options become available. I don't need it right away. I'd rather sick with CWM since that is what I'm familiar with.

That's entirely up to you. Although I would suggest giving twrp a go, even just to try it out. My favorite features in it are the option to name your backup in recovery prior to creating it, and the fact that it actually does things faster than cwm

First of all I would like to say this is my first post and I am feeling very optimistic as I have seen all the great things you guys have done over here! I understand in order to solve my problem I will have to be as detailed as I can, but please bare with me as I am a noob to this stuff and seem to have run into some trouble
Okay so I got a new S3 Last week and wanted to try it out on some new custom roms, I flashed it to CM 10.1 nightly using the roms downloaded via GooManager, all was fine and I had no problems until i flashed to a newer version of the nightly build and lost my signal, it always said Emergency calls only.
This happened to me once before but I solved it by flashing a modem file via Odin, since then I had to preform full system reset as I was considering selling my phone, it didn't come to that and now I am back to square one and once again I have no signal.
I have tried flashing the same modem file as I did before with no effect this time round
I have since tried many different modems and completely forgot which one has worked in the past. I have no back up files what so ever so I need to know what it is that is causing it not to get a signal. Could it be the kernel I am using? or is there a pacific modem for my ROM which I need.
I understand this is my own fault and stupidity, you guys are my last hope, I have also tried stock firmware which also has no signal.
It is an international i9300 with UK T-Mobile.
Please help me save my phone!
I hope you didn't flash a Tmobiles modem, because international gs3 and SGH-T999 aren't similar I believe other than looking the same. And more than likely you've lost your IMEI. Please goto settings and check your IMEI. Please do not post it, just verify if it's 0 or a 16 digit string.

Welcome to the forum! Albeit not quite the right one.
You need to post this in the international forum. This is for the US/Canadian models only. They are very different from yours, and not many people here will know much about it.
Do not flash anything you find here! It is highly likely to brick your phone. If you flashed our modems. Consider yourself lucky and now you know why it isn't working. Check with the guys in the other forum for your next step though.

I am strating to get concerned, is this an easy fix? I dont mind wiping any data or using a certain Rom I just don't know which modem to use, some modems show me my bars but it still wont get any service. This one currently just shows a circle and cross icon with no bars at all. I am running stock.

Congrats, I'm glad you rectified the problem! Remember for next time, when you're not able to access data or you're stuck at 2G that your IMEI has most likely went! For future reference, I recommend making an EFS backup. We've all been there before and we know the scare!

Yesterday I flashed S4 Revolution v8.0 [ROM][4.3 MJ9] then I lost my signal and imei and the baseband version is empty although I wipe my cash and data before flashing this rom.
I don't think that's a Rom we have for our device, unless I overlooked it.
Googled it and came up as an I9300 Rom. If this is what you flashed consider yourself extraordinarily lucky it's not hard bricked!
Odin flash the firmware for your model only! Hopefully that fixes it.....
And NEVER flash a Rom not for your model device.
