here is the info on about phone..
Firmware version
2.6.35.7
build number
GingerBread EI22
ok I need a dummys guide.. some thing straight forward please on the steps i need to get super user and rooted.. I need to tether my phone to my laptop and im not able to as of right now.. a custom rom on my phone would be nice to lol..

Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.
You guys are too nice to these idiots. Not a clue on how to root or rom, and posting in odd places. Have fun bricking your epic, jr.

Odin back to stock and then reflash your ROM. Backup your internal sdcard before, Odin to stock wipes it.

sorry i didn't see this sooner.... sometimes simply rebooting your phone will fix it... it is probably lost indefinitely now. shouldn't have odined the device with it not showing your IMEI, that was bad advice.

yeah there is, but you have to have a backup of your original IMEI... which i assume you do not have. there is a thread about this issue in the dev section, and toolkit to back up your IMEI
just out of pure curiosity, what recovery are you using?
Nope, I do not have a backup.
Just search in the development section for imei recovery and there is one to get it back even without a backup. Might be issues with you not actually getting 4g again but this way you can return it back to complete stock.

Do any of you guys know how to restore 4G?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That's not true. Very experienced android flashers have lost theirs, it's a fluke within the recovery and flashing a rom or modem anything being flashed has been reported to make it being lost. Only thing is I think TRWP hasn't been reported to cause it being lost. Anywho... back it up.

Unless the s3s in diff batches are really different.
Has to be sloppy flashing. Jumping to jellybean without wiping data or using superwipe from the Hercules or something.
I've tried losing my imei.
I can't do it.

Hey guys, I'm new to the boards and to Android. I was a very longtime user of iPhone and iOS until recently I returned my iPhone 5 for a Note II.
I apologize before hand if I'm coming off as a noob--thats cause I am--but I've ran into a problem.
Late last night I backed up my stock rom and installed [XXDLJ2 4.1.2][V2.0] WanamLite | Aroma. Everything went fine, the phone was working fine and after a while, I knocked out.
This morning the phone wasn't on so I figured it was dead. I immediately left it charging for a couple of hours and when I returned, the phone was still dead, no sign of life.
I'm starting to panic and I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I truly apologize for the noobing and if this thread isn't posted where it supposed to be, please accept my apologies..
thank you in advance.

Can you force into download mode or recovery. Wanamlite isnt s rom for this device so your gonna have problems with it. You need to go back to a device-stable build
Edit...are you sure your batt didnt go completely dead? Sometimes you have to use a external batt charger when its been drained all tge way

Is it even booting to a splash screen (Samsung logo)? If it is, you can force it into download mode and Odin back to stock. There are tutorials on how to do so out there.
If it doesnt turn on at all, or if it just vibrates with a dark screen, you probably have a hard brick and may want to try warrantying it out. I've never had a softbrick that wouldn't power on, and I'd be wary of your Craigslist guy if he says a phone that shows no signs of life is a soft brick...

If I'm not mistaken, it's Clean ROM. The only issue I have is that my cell network is gone. I called and went to a retail AT&T and they couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Luckily, he's cool and we've been in contact, should be fixed by tomorrow-- Unless you guys have any suggestion in what it might be and how it can be fixed. If not, I'll see him as soon as possible.

Would you be able to walk me through this? I'm savvy when it comes to this but I am new to Android.
Your help will be appreciated.
also check to see if you have an IMEI number as well. CleanROM is an att ROM with all the correct data APNs (AccessPointNames), e.g., made from the ATT Stock ROM, so you should be able to connect. on the otherhand, if you don't have an IMEI number you'll need to fix that before you can move forward.

Ya can check and change yur apn settings by going to settings-wireless and networks-mobile networks-access point names. Ya should have an att apn if not hit the menu button and add new apn.

I'm assuming that I have an IMEI only cause the AT&T rep looked at it when I went to the store. Anyhow, it doesn't hurt to double check. Thank you for your quick responses.

That's what I was thinking as well; the modem might have been lost or corrupted. Easy fix.
OP, if you can get yourself into download mode, you're up against a soft brick. Once you're in download mode, fixing the phone is easy for almost any level of experience. Do some reading here, skim through ROM threads and read the stickies inside-out. There's nothing that guy did that a few hours of research and a little coaching can't help you do yourself.

Hi!
I really new to the scene and I have searched a lot trying to figuring this out but not luck so far
I flashed Jelly Beans 16 to my t889 almost a week ago, after reading that it was compatible with my tmobile GN2 even though is for verizon, everything works great but I can't get the mobile data to work correctly. push notifications wont work, apps that requiere internet wont work... Edge icon says I’m connected, APN settings are correct, the only thing that works is whats-app while on mobile data, or opening a web page in the browser (but it takes ages and I will get connection errors most of the time), so somehow its receiving data.
After much reading, found and app that displays mobile connection info and indeed it says I'm connected and how much data has been downloaded/uploaded already... it also says the radio is unknown!!!!! (please see the attached images)
How can I fix this??? any help will and is totally appreciated
my guest is flash a radio that is compatible with this rom but I can't find any info in how to just do that. I already flashed the T889UVBMB4 modem and it stills says radio/serial unknown/(some numbers) so I assume that the modem and radio are a different thing... are they?
Can anyone can point me in the right direction???
Thanks a zillion!

Before you visit the phone company, what exact method are you using to restore?
thanks for taking a look!
what I did was boot in recovery mode, installed modem for my baseband. using cwm. wiped all data, cache, davlnk. installed new rom, which is compatible with my phone without a radio using cwm,. rebooted normally. probken persist.

Thank you all for all your help! I'm a newbie and using odin really scares me up! I have read of cases that people would corrupt their imei and I dont really want to end being one of those!
I went to the phone company today and no one could even give me a logical explanation to what was going on with the phone!
I can use whatsapp, navigate slow as hell, but push notications wont work no matter whaT!! I don't think anymore that my problem is the rom as I flashed stock and same thing NADA!
But the think that got me really frustasted was the "phone expert" at the company after taking the phone in his hands for a minute, came up with all his wisdom: "everyrhing is ok you can navigate; but wont receive push notifications"
I already know that you!!!! You!! Mot_#\×£ €=€÷£@( ... ...
Long story short, I took the phone to the competition and asked if my phone would work in their network, they charge more but are faster! the guy kindly put a micro sim and pum!!! 3g Internet on my phone to try!!! I couldn't check notificatios but waze was working and that alone sold me out!! Im changing company tomorrow if God allows me!

Odin is the reason I will never leave Samsung again. It's so easy to fix a brick if you mess up.

Thank you! Honestly I read a post here that advised against using Odin... as I newbie I take advises really seriously until I have the knowledge to make educated choices , I will make a backup of my phone using cwm and then flash stock with odin just to see if I can get the edge signal to work without any glitches, if not... I will reload the backup and go back to the rom Im using (which I luv)and change phone company!
wish me luck!!!!

If you go in about phone, status, does your IMEI match the one on the sticker under your battery?
Check the baseband listed there as well, is it a Verizon or a T-Mobile one?
Verizon has some HSPA support for roaming, but I'm not aware of them having AWS enabled.

checked out the newest post on galaxynote2root.com about turning my note 2 into a S5/Note3 hybrid.
FOllowed the directions telling me to flash the Verizon version to my Sprint device but it failed. Normally no big deal but like an idiot I did not back up and I did not have another ROM to fall back on.
I have a card reader adapter that I have attempted to put other random roms onto and flash through TWRP but EVERYTHING fails and I can't figure out why. SOmebody please help me out here
......
Update: I've been able to flash the Illusion Rom with no Fail message but it just boots to the Samsung Galaxy Splash and doesn't move like it's loading the greatest cut scene ever. So yea still stuck if anybody could help out
Ok I can most likely help but I need more information. Give me a link to the thread you followed and the rom you flashed. Please send it in a PM so others wont see it and try to do the same thing.
Another user recently posted a video link to something claiming the same thing in one of my rom threads. I have ported over a Verizon rom to sprint and it is not a simple thinbg to do. Wish you would have seen this in my thread before you tried it. Hopefully I can get you up and running again.

I have no clue why he would claim it to work. I googled it and in the thread he is referring to the rom I ported over from verizon. It will not work as he states. You can try it of you want but I am telling you the person who posted it is wrong.

I went to that forum and read everything along with the comments. Looks like they really have no clue what they are doing. The users who did not mess up their device (non sprint users) do not have working wifi because they do not have the proper information. There are specific files on each device that is needed and they were not told to change them. I left a mostly nice comment about their steps for sprint.
Sorry guys I was already heading to bed when you guys started messaging back. I appreciate you guys taking the time out to help me with my problem. jlmancuso I've sent you that PM with hopefully all the information you need and requested.
Update: I have just attempted to Flash the stock firmware from samsung-updates.com through ODIN and I am unfortunately still getting no further than the Samsung Galaxy Note II splash and of course I've also lost TWRP
Final Update: After flashing the stock firmware back to my phone I went into the basic recovery mode that it has and did a factory reset yet again and apparently that did it and my phone is back to it's normal self.
Thanks for your help guys ... kinda lol
