I have an epic 4g and it is stuck in elair 2.1....when it goes to recovery screen to update it wont says status 7 failed or something to that effect. There is a root bin file playlogo missing. Ive tried to find the factory rom to start over but all the download links are old and missing after they are clicked on. My question is can i root straight to the cyanogenmod 9? Thanks for any help...I have searched for answers but like i said all the threads are extremely old...thanks
Lol =] I feel your pain man. There are new stock images you'll need to flash first. Then you can root with the most recent way there is. If you would rather me do them I offer rooting services remotely via teamviewer 7 or give me a minute and ill provide you with the links necessary.
Oh and thanks for posting in Q&A.

So if you feel like a lone ranger and want to do this yourself here are the links to the video how to's.
1. Follow this video How to Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g, this will put you on the latest stock image. Yes it says unroot or unbrick... ignore that. Just follow this. Some pre-requsites would be to make sure you have the drivers for the epic installed, make sure the cable you are using isnt the stock one and is of good quality.
2. Then once finished and on stock use this video to root it.

When LG creates the firmware files, they are packed with extra padding, so they should always turn out to be the same size.

lol its all good. drop box is telling me about 22/34mins left for the upload
Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide or tutorial or anything telling me how i would go about porting a rom from lets say a i9300 to our phone? I have been around android for a long time and would really like to start doing this but i have no idea where to begin. I know its not the same as creating a custom rom yourself, so i am hoping this would be a good place to start for me.
Thanks!

Hey start searching for custom roms by aokp or cyanogen read abt the reviews and prefer nightlies as it is bug freed ..porting a rom is smooth due to availability of application what u gta do is 1: Search a desired rom..2: root your phone ..3: create a recovery image 4: place the zip file in your sd card (ROm) and boom flash its smooth
