You definitely cannot use the same root for Epic 4g touch as Galaxy S2, they have 2 different kernels. Can you get into download mode? Take battery out, put back in, and hold down power button and down button at same time. If you can get it into download mode, you can find the correct rootkit and redo.

Which phone do you have, G2 or epic 4g touch?

You do have the Epic 4g Touch. Sprint just decided to play long with the renaming since this phone is going out to multiple carriers now.
HOPEFULLY you did NOT flash the international kernel on your phone, it's still functional and you can still get into download mode.
If you can, then you need to flash a complete odin one click and get back to "normal"..

Please see my last quote, I said to disregard the file. At the beginning of his quotes, he said he had the files for epic 4g touch and that it was wrong, and then he verified that it was correct, so I said to ignore.

Try downloading the FI27 Rooted Restore from the Android Development forum - just search FI27 and click the thread with my name on it. Flashing this should hopefully get you back in working order.

If it just won't make calls and stuff, try updating profile and then PRL. If it is FC'ing all over do a factory data reset, reflash the ROM and kernel, flash the journal on zip as John suggested, then redownload apps. Do not restore any data unless you are sure it is good and absolutely need it.
i cant make calls, text, internet, nothing , so i cant update the prl or profile. whats the journal? im fairly new to this ive been rooted and on the custom roms for a few months now.how do you do a factory reset.? this blows i gotta get it up and running. i appreciate the advice from all

[Q] GSM Galaxy nexus Bricked -REWARD

I know i have another thread but its changed. My galaxy nexus is gsm and my brother accidentally flashed verizon stock on it. Now my nexus can only go in download mode and fastboot mode. I have tried flashing stock using odin and fastboot however it goes back to the google logo and just stays till it dies. I also cant access recovery mode because it goes to the google logo. 30 dollars reward thanks
Boot to the bootloader (Fastboot/Download) and give us the information on the bottom. Also give us the link to whatever you're trying to flash. I'll dig up the return-to-stock thread and see if I can't walk you through it. Gotta save that Nexus!
Also it'd be easier if you got on IRC. You can find a lot of us (including me) on irc.freenode.net in the channel #gn so stop on by!
Here's a link if you've never been there: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=gn&uio=d4
Wug's Toolkit???
have you tried Wug's Toolkit???
I've bricked mine for the same reason for flashing a GSM rom alpha state on a LTE Nexus.
All I had to do was hit the restore button. And it was fixed in ten minutes. I was able to save my data thanks to dropbox. Cuz I just so happened to back up my data there a lot by saving my recovery back ups
But your case is different. Use wug's toolkit and ATTEMPT to save your data by using the backup feature. MAYBE u can still recover your apps. Maybe you broke your CWMR and damaged the system.res or something. So just flash stock+Unroot. As long as you can fast boot I think you can fix it like me.
Give it a try if you have not done this yet. And let me know how it out. =p
Hope it works for u just as well as it did for me.

could you gimmie alink for that toolkit
Unbrickable
Also you can't truly brick a Nexus device. ESPECIALLY a GSM variant.
So you can fix this. I'll try to find another way just in case this way fails. but also there is a tool on the right side of the panel do the Wug's Toolkit panel. Never actually used them, but maybe it can make your phone work again without even having to flash stock+Unroot.
But again I'll try to find a another method of how this can be fixed. Hopefully someone has a tool to fix this.

Know how u feel on this.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
This should work because I just read the website and it says that if you flash stock+unroot it should unbrick your device. And maybe an OEM lock is required but your a GSM variant so I dunno since u came out of the factory unlocked.
If you were to fix your Nexus Device u don't have to do your $30 reward.
1. I'm 16. =p
2. Don't have a way of receiving money except by mail, which is a big hassle of nonsense.

Do you have the Galaxy S3 toolkit? V7 I think it is. When you open it and choose Sprint s3 4.1.1 it'll download the resources it needs. But first and foremost, to me it sounds like you need to find the stock .tar file and its here somewhere (search for it). If you've already tried returning to stock which .tar file did you use? And can you get your phone in download mode or is it stuck in that recovery? Can you get it in stock recovery by booting up while holding Volume up-power-home key? Hold all three at the same time when powering it on.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------
Personally I would download the correct .tar file and restore with Odin. Click the PDA button and find the .tar file and then try to put your phone in download mode, if that doesn't work you can try using Odin on the firmware upgrade screen. But the BIG thing is using the correct file for the Sprint Galaxy s3.

i can get it to the point where i can download the firmware by pressing the volume up key with the home button and the power button. im downlading the toolkit now. and i cant seem to find a stock .tar im new to the whole rooting thing so i really dont know where to start...
thanks
i was in the screen where it says downloading and it tells you how many custom binary downloads there are
Well in the toolkit there's an option to 'download and flash stock ROM' that might do it since you can get to download mode. Make sure you choose 'Sprint' and '4.1.1' in the toolkit. It'll shower EVERY GS3 made. Lol. Its easy to use with the instructions walking you through the steps.

What it'll do is open Odin and automatically start the process by itself. The toolkit is very useful for rooting, flashing a recovery, returning to stock, etc. Some people hate the toolkit but I've personally never had a bad experience with it. Just make sure you're choosing the correct model inside the toolkit. Lol

That's the correct screen, I think volume up let's you flash something and volume down reboots the phone (or vice versa)

The first place you start is with reading, reading, reading, then reading some more and when you think you understand it, read it all again. Jumping into modifying your $600 phone not knowing what the hell you're doing is a good way to flush $600 down the toilet.

i clicked the tar link. but i got the phone working to the point where i can actually use it(text, web, call, games) but there are a few problems. i believe the phone has the wrong os on it because it wants me to insert a sim card which is a problem because i have sprint, sprint doesn't use sim cards. i can still use mobile networks however. also it keeps wanting to install a software update which i allowed twice and still got the same update notification. im assuming the os i have is for verizon or at&t??? im going to try another system i guess. where could i find a rooted system file for sprint Galaxy S3? i kinda dont want to mess up again.
thanks alot for your help guys. you saved my phone.
Go to your about section and screen shot it and upload it on here.... Screen shot is home +power for 1-3 seconds

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with the process you described. And so i have a few questions. The systemless root....is that basically installation of superuser? Do any of these (systemless root, custom recovery) need to be specific to this version of the software? Would you be able to recommend a thread on how to perform this through odin?

First off some things you should do before ever flashing or rooting your phone.
1. Make sure ReActivation Lock is OFF. (Its in Settings>Security>Reactivation Lock = make sure its unchecked)
2. Turn on Developer options. (Goto Settings>About device and tap Build Number 4 to 5 times; then develepers options will be in settings menu, goto that and turn on USB Debugging)
3. You'll need Official Samsung Drivers HERE! Install this to your PC!
4. Always Backup Phone!! After you install TWRP.
IM gonna assume your on a Stock ROM. To root your gonna need to use Odin to flash TWRP, then once thats done we'll root from there.
You'll need these files :
1:
Odin3.11 from Here. It's straight from sam mobile. Is what I use and never have problems. You'll install this to your Windows PC.
2:
TWRP 3.0.2.0 tar file from Here. This file is only for the Sprint Note4 SM-N910P, So that better be the phone you have!! Download and save to PC! You can Thank bigbiff at this Thread.
3:
Lastly you need SuperSU Here! Thanks to Chainfire at this Thread! Download and save to your Phones SD card or Internal memory.
Now you have the files. Make sure you dont have samsung Kies running while installing or flashing your phone. Actually Dont have any other programs running when Flashing your phone.
1st - Install Samsung Drivers to your PC.
2nd - Install Odin to your PC.
3rd - Copy SuperSU zip file to your phone.
Now unplug your phone and turn it off. And open Odin Program as Admin. Now on your phone hold down the Vol down button + Home button + Power button at same time until a screen shows a Warning. then you'll press Volume up to continue to Download Mode.
Once in Download mode plug into usb cord to PC. Your pc should install some drivers then Odin will show your device as connected. Goto options tab in Odin and make sure all the boxes are unchecked except F. Reset Time.
Then click the log tab so we can watch the progress were gonna make. Then click the AP button and load the Twrp file you downloaded into that.
Click Start, Let it do what it does, dont touch anything until it done. Once down unplug phone and take out battery for 5 seconds.
Put battery back in and press Vol up + Home + Power until phone boots into Twrp Recovery.
Once in Recovery I sugessst to do a Full Backup.
Then you can Hit Install button in Twrp and find the Super SU file you saved on phone and Install and reboot when it says. Your ROOTED!!
Hope this isnt too confusing. It really isnt that hard. But it's easier to do than to explain.
FYI,
And Yes, systemless root is super SU in this case. All newer stock samsung roms can only be rooted with systemless root. System root won't work. There are ways to do it with custom roms and kernels though. And also there are other root apps like superuser, but this is the most common way.
Thanks aaron74 i was at work trying to explain between customers
Been away for a while so just now reading this thread. Many Thanks to you both for the links and detailed explanations. I will try this soon and advise how it turns out.
By the way, is this the same method to root a Sprint galaxy S4 on latest stock rom? Want to do this on my kid's phone also.
Oh and I assume this will trip KNOX correct?

And the s4, not sure exactly, but it will be very similar. But obviously have its own twrp file. Just goto it's forum and do a search for root. Something should pop up.
Ok thanks again for your help
Hay so its been awhile since i did any messing with my note 4. I wanted to be able to use android pay. But i read a comment about some system ui customized program and it said android pay still worked. So my question is is there a way to root the note 4 now and still be able to use android pay or did i misread the message

So was able to root thanks to the help from the kind folks in this forum. You guys are much appreciated. Now I have a question about tethering. Can I unlock the hotspot on the stock ROM?

Can you please elaborate, where did you find g-tools? Was it easy and is it stable? Does the phone overheat like non-official hotspot stuff does? Thanks ! ! ! ! !

Have it on a S4 and it does not get hot. Yes, it is easy, at least on the S4. As far as I have used it, it has been stable.

THANKS! EASIEST ROOT EVER! I was going to downgrade to PE1 cause that's the only info I can find, thanks so much to the two who posted regarding this.
TIPS:
TWRP won't flash: I've had issues with TWRP where it won't flash in the past, this happened to me once again. It was going to an installing update screen after flashing, then some error message, then went to Samsung recovery instead of TWRP. SOLUTION: Pull battery after install, then it will stick. If needed rinse and repeat, eventually TWRP will install properly.
Hotspot: You can message some guy to get hotspot supposedly, a few messages above this one.
Knox: I couldn't disable knox first time, on second try it worked. I recall this happened last time as well on my note.
