ROOT AND CWM question - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey,
I have a friend who had a S2 rooted yesterday but has no CWM. What would be the best option for doing this. He is wanting to get a jellybean rom on but I told him he pretty much needs cwm to allow for this.. Any suggestions on a tar to use for this.. He is on rooted stock f127 i think..
Thanks.

Look up!

Thank you both.. I ended up giving him the boot straight to cwm tar and told him to pick a ROM.. It seems to have worked..

[Q] Rom Manager

ok so i just rooted my et4g and i installed rom manager, im trying to flash the recovery and it has four options to flash.
none in which say et4g
only
samsung at&t GalaxyS2
samsung GalaxyS i9000
samsung GalaxyS i9000 (MTD)
samsung GalaxyS2
which one is my best bet?
if any of them i think the bottom one is but i was worried that one is for the euro s2?
any help would be greatly appreciated
None of the above.
so what do i do??
i want to flash a rom already! haah
Odin a rooted kernel with clockwork mod (chris41g's lost kernel is what I used), and follow the ROM install instructions from the development section.
and lets just say if i used this vs using that method lol

damn so i just have to chill then? no other way of flashing recovery?
If you are worried about customization issues or just want to remain stock, I would flash this. It is completely stock with cwm. You can than flash a prerooted rom or su.zip and you are rooted and ready to go.

Update question, jelly bean

I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.
Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?
Flash the stock rooted version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991255
Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update
You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?
In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?
How did you root might be a better question?
Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root
If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash

The way I rooted was using the method zedomax posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561
I did find an article that I think is the answer im looking for. Right now I got odin putting the stock out of the box software back on.
How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.
All I did was follow the steps in the 2nd link I posted. It worked and I just did an update through the settings menu.

It should, though I would recommend a different way.
You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.
Flash it via odin and youre done!
If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.
I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.

Download the Full one-click and extract the file. Put your phone into download mode and connect it to the pc and run.

There are several ways to accomplish this..
Do you have any experience using Odin? You can flash the original Fi27 tar which would take you back stock unrooted. You can locate that in the Stock ROM Repository by RWilco.
You could flash the rooted one click (you'll need to do the restore, not the no data) then you'd have to remove root.
Or you could flash an old GB build and then update the really long way and be pure stock.
Yes you can flash back to ics the same way to did to fk23. Go to dev section and download odin 1 click restore fi27. It will fully wipe and will put phone to brand new state.

i was looking for it n found it but i also see [OC] FI27 Full Stock ROM One-Click.exe does it matter if it sez oc or odin???
OC means one click and they are odin based. Easiest way to get back to stock or stock rooted.
never mind i got it thanks again guys

Root I605VRUFND7

Hey guys,
I botched my phone enough that I had no choice but to ODIN back to stock. I have been searching the web and only found that idiotic posting about using ODIN and CF-Autoroot, which doesn't work lol.
Is there an ODIN of stock rooted out there yet? Or can someone pull one and forward it to me?
I have a locked BL btw, or I would already have done a zipped rom.
Second question, if anyone has a working APK of Tunee, cna they zip it email it to me? That's majorly what I am looking for since it's in my TB lol!

God I wish. There are stock images out there but you have to be on an older stock that 4.4.2 already. So i'm in the same boat. Praying a .tar file comes out somewhere and i can get my root back. It's killing me.

That pains me to hear. I'm still trying to remain hopeful some God amongst men can exploit our kernel and give me root at stock 4.4.2.
No upgrade for a while. It's ironic the Note 3's on Verizon can use the towelroot exploit and we can't. :crying:
So does anyone know if the devs are working on making stock 4.4.2 i605vrufnd7 rootable, or have the devs moved on? I'm having root withdrawal.
