Can CM10 run on GB08? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So if I were to get root with the GB08 one-click. Would it be possible to install CM10? If so, whats the easiest way? Would there be a ODIN flashable recovery where I can then finish up with installing a nightly? Or do I need to use one of the ancient repacks to get CM10?

I looked for them and couldn't find them. Can you point me to the one that is specefic for coming off a GB08 stock rooted?

There is nothing special. Just follow the instructions of the specific ROM.

It seems to me that you don't wanna read and I'm not gonna hand it to you. How hard is it to read the first post of the rom you wanna flash. That post will give you everything you need to flash. So go to what ever rom you wanna flash and read read read.

Obviously you have not looked into the CM10 rom. I have been around long enough to know how to look for things and read. There is nothing on GB10 and CM10. You are out of your league here. Thanks anyway, but you may now move on. If you want to prove me wrong, show me the thread. It is easier than arguing.

Well considering that there is no GB10. It seems you are out of luck. There is a GB08, but if you take the time to read, you will know that JB modems and kernels will not work with CM10. Everything you have asked is throughout the E4GT section. If the instructions don't mention what you are looking for or you don't see any mention in the thread of it, it is either up to you to test it or it probably won't work. So as long as you follow exactly what is in the instructions, you will be fine.
Now, telling someone that they are out of their league and that they can move on is immature and not your place, especially when I know for a fact that Sasquatch is a very respected member here. Everyone here is offering the minimal help for obvious answers. If you don't feel the need to take the time to read and research stuff on your own using the search function, Google, or even YouTube, we won't feel the need to help you.

I doubt that you will find any. How much time and space would it take to list installation instructions coming from every individual rom listed in the forum? The instructions are the same regardless of which rom you are currently using.

That's right don't be messin with the Sqash and why would you want to mess up such a great build like gb08 with cm10?
This would not be possible until source is realised by Sammy, and that is obvious because there is no onboard working recovery yet. If you get around to research the thread you will notice a bunch of posts concerning cm10 and it's ability to bork stuff on your phone.

Out of my league don't think so. And gb08 and cm10 are two different things and will never be able to run at the same time. So it's best for you to figure out what you want either tw or cm10. Me along with other members run either of the 2 rooms with no problems. So yeah choose one and install. As for you saying I'm out of my league I don't think I am. Look I'm a 13 yr old android enthusiast who might know a whole lot more than you so with that being said I'm done. :thumbup:

Now I REALLY know you don't know what you are talking about. You are correct that they are 2 different things... but "run at the same time?" Clearly you dont understand that GB08 is the firmware version and CM10 is an OS load that stacks over whatever the developers support it to load to. And to try and say that CM10 will "never" run on GB08 is complete ignorance.

You can't run them at the same time. If you run cm10 can you use jellybean kernel or modem no you can't. Tw and cm10 are totally different ui. In other works your trying to lecture me when it's obvious your the one asking for help. Come on man try a little harder.
EDIT: And you come on here and ask if gb08 can run on top of cm10. You need to do a little more reading. You can't run cm10 at the same time with gb08. If I'm wrong can someone please correct me.

Just because the evidence presently suggests that CM10 cannot run on GB08, does not mean it will never be possible. You are trying to compare CM10 to GB08 to TW. TW has nothing to do with ANY of thouse. TW is a LAUNCHER. GB08 is a firmware version that can run any JB compatible launcher. CM10 is designed FOR and IS JellyBean. Presently it is having to be hack loaded but that doesn't mean that someone some day won't figure out how to make it run on top of the GB08 firmware. And just so that you know... I am presently using GB08 stock rooted. TW is the stock launcher; but I have loaded ADW over the top. ADW is used inside CM10. CM10 is not a launcher... it is the platform in which AOSP is run on an android device.

You are right.

"Never" was never said for one.
As was explained earlier, due to there fact that source had not been released yet, there is no gb08 support, 4.1 android support yes, but nothing for this specific build.
Also to blatantly disregard the instructions to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS in the correct thread of the ROM you wish to install is ignorance at its finest.
Then to attack the people who kindly offered you the information you seek, is not only ignorant but also small minded and weak.
And for further instruction on the matter, this question would have been better asked in the cm10 thread rather than increasing your post count and causing other members to feel the need to defend themselves.
My suggestion, READ (there's that pesky word again...) the form rules on posting in the proper places, creating threads, and harassing members. Then when finished with that (are you ready for this?) READ the op in question in the thread of the ROM you wish to flash.

You dont post things to "let people know" in the development section dude. There's a General section for that. There is no development going on here so how would it even equate to be considered as development? It doesn't. Please follow XDA rules or don't post. Thanks.

Now I have to decide if I should stay on CM10 or go back to the MIUI I love. I'm really digging how smooth Jelly Bean is, and Google Now is awesome. But then, MIUI is where I feel most comfortable UI-wise. This will be a tough decision until MIUI moves to JB.

That's what I was thinking at first, but after using CM10, it manages to be a smoother experience for me. I especially like that the XDA Premium app no longer has problems. I also prefer the new notification bar over the TW bar.
None of this really matters in CM10 vs. MIUI, though. It'll be a tough choice.

Coming from an Evo and kind of lost......

Hello everyone I recently bought this touch off of craigslist and am utterly confused on the root process, flashing roms, etc...... First off it was already rooted and using CWM recovery. I found this out after I figured out how to boot into recovery on my new to me phone lol. With the Evo there were some growing pains but I figured it out pretty fast and was flashing like crazy in a couple of days. It's seems this phone is a whole new beast. Im living it so far but I need to know exactly what im up against since I see the phrase "brick your phone way too much already". I've read some threads already but can't quite wrap my mind around it yet so im reaching out, and yes I plan to do a while lot of reading just like I did with the OG Evo. That's not an option right now since my lil sister has been in the ICU in the hospital and I've been spending every waking hour there. Anyway I would just like to know where I stand with the room that is presently on the phone already and what I can do if I wanted to flash something else. Anyway thx for any help given and to those who will surely tell me to read, read, read I will, will, will lol.

Thx for responding and I will def check that out. I would just like to know what the previous owner did to root the phone if you could look at the screen shoot and give me an ideal. I asked him but he said someone rooted it for him and he didn't have much info. I also asked him off he was on XDA and he said no but he browsed an epic 4g forum but I didn't press him since I knew I could just come here and find out ask I needed to know.

Anyway it was most likely originally rooted using the EL29 one click found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
This just installed stock firmware (gingerbread build) on the phone that was rooted. From there he probably upgraded to ics using the recovery built in with the EL26 kernel. Most recoveries are safe to use now, just make sure you thoroughly read the OP.
There was also an exploit through which it could have been rooted, but that was patched long ago.

Look in the android development section. It appears you have the Universe rom from several versions back. I would recommend starting off stock rooted for learning purposes. We have a 1 click method for this and you can learn more from the development section and the qbking videos. FI27 is the most recent build number. I have not tried it yet. Last build I ran was FI03.
After you flash a stock rooted rom you will need to flash a kernel. I always used agats kernel and consider it safe. Good luck and read, read, read before you jump into anything.

Thx for all the help I have since flashed Agat recovery with stock FH13 rom and Universe 2.3 and am now on the way to fully exploring my phone.
Sounds like you are on the right track. I dont think I ever tried Universe rom. I have mostly been on Aosp based roms the past few months.
Universe rom is neat. I would suggest checking out blazer, calkulins or re-calk, and blu kuban. Those have been some of my favorites.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
If you plan on checking out Kuban,I recommend the link in my sig. The flash procedure also works for many other roms, but until you are really comfortable I would always follow the op directions in whatever ROM you choose to flash. You picked a good phone with a great community. Lots of very helpful people here, even though we lost quite a few to the s3.
I have an OG EVO and my wife has the E4GT. I rooted it yesterday afternoon in about 15 minutes' time. Definitely not the same as rooting the EVO. While it's different, I think it swayed me towards going with the SGS III when my upgrade comes up next month. Looking forward to playing with the E4GT some more-if the wife lets me :angel:

I hear you, I never even played with an E4GT before I bought it I just saw how great the S3 looked and felt in the sprint store and loved it. Since I refuse to sign a new 2 year contract I always stay at least a model behind and just go to craigslist.
htc phones and samsung are quite different i had an evo and it takes me twice as long to root it compared to samsung. but samsung seems easier to brick.

E4GT - Current State of Affairs.

Ok so looking at soo many recent posts about rooting, modems and latest OTA and a lot of confusion among new users, I have decided to start this thread where I will update the latest developments for our Galaxy SII (SPH-D710).
Latest OTA:- ICS FL24
Latest Leak:- JB GB27
"Optional" Official update:- JB GB27 (Only available via Kies)
AOSP Support:
CM10 - Beta
CM10.1 - Unofficial
Paranoid Android - Official
BAKED BlackBean - Unofficial
AoCP The Collective - Unofficial
PACman - Official
Evervolv - Official
ROMs:
-Flash a ROM from development forums and figure out which one you like.
-If you are smart enough, you will easily be able to figure out by scanning through first 2-3 pages in development forums that which ROMs are popular and updated.
-Don't ask for best/perfect/bugless/battery lasts a week ROMs. Every user is different and everyone uses their phone in his/her own way. For example some may watch videos all day and some may text all day. So your usage varies and your definition of a perfect rom varies.
-Don't be like.. "I am a noob and am scared to flash many different ROMs." or "I don't have time to try different ROMs."
-To people like you, ever wonder if the developers here would be like I don't have time for making a thread for my ROM and provide support for it but I am going to use it personally and never share it? Devs like to develop ROMs and they like to share their work. Respect it and don't complain and moan.
Root:
-Exynos abuse to gain root was possible using an app but it was patched in the FL24 OTA so you cannot use the app to root anymore
-Root using the full odin one click .exe files. You need a PC for that. Don't have a computer? Sorry, find one.
-If you updated to JellyBean GB27 using kies and lost root, follow this to get it back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34297546
Kernel:
-You don't need a custom kernel just because you are rooted. Stop complicating things. If you think this is all confusing. It is not. So re-read everything again. Repeat again if still confused. Trust me, if you read this stuff 2-3 times, it will all make sense.
-Don't use the SXTP FL24 kernel, it has caused random reboots for quite a few. So don't complain if you flashed that.
-If you want a custom recovery to make a backup, use the kuban custom kernel or Agat's kernel which comes with its own recovery to do so. Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826190 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
-If you want to flash a new ROM, follow the steps in post 2 here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953783
-Have questions? Did you follow the steps and read everything twice?
Modems:
-If you are one of those who tries every new JellyBean leak or touchwiz JellyBean custom roms, you should know that for data to work on these ROMs, you can only use a JB modem.
-So when you flash to ANY other ROM, let it be AOSP based JB ROMs, ICS ROMs or GB ROMs, make sure you flash a non JB modem.
JellyBean Leaks:
-Yes you can try them. The newer leaks are stable. They are awesome. Don't complain about issues with them. They are just leaks. ROMs based on them are also based on leaks.
-We do not have source for JellyBean from Samsung. Expect some issues due to that, especially slow data on AOSP JB ROMs.
-Yes we are all waiting for Samsung and Sprint to update our phones to JellyBean. Don't ask when. No one knows.
Tools and Files:
-Everything you need is on www.rwilco12.com

Attention all new XDA members and E4GT owners. First off, welcome to the community. Here are some great links to start with.
Getting started on XDA
Forum rules
You are a noob on XDA
Here at XDA Developers, we welcome users from all walks of life. We were all new at some point and we understand that you may be overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available.
I cannot stress this enough. READ READ READ! If you are still unsure about something, read the original post and the first few pages of whatever ROM/MOD/Tweak that you are interested in trying on your device. Your question may already be answered in those first few pages. Don't feel like anyone is attacking/flaming you for asking a question, usually in that scenario we have already answered that question many times and it is available for everyone to read.
Google is your best friend. Search for whatever you may be looking for with keywords relating to the topic you are looking for. Excuses like "I don't have time to search for that" will not be tolerated and your question may be ignored. We might just give you a link to lmgtfy.
Forum categories and what they are meant for. The names say it all. There are also important threads known as stickies in each sub forum. I highly recommend reading these, they are full of great information.
General
The general sub-forum is meant to be used to discuss general topics. Such as news relating to the forum you are viewing, upcoming ROMs, and off-topic banter such as McLeary's Pub
Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
This is where you can search for questions that have already been asked and solved. If you encounter a ROM specific issue, this may not be the best place to ask your question. If you are having trouble with an app or a program such as Odin or ADB, this would be a great place to ask your question.
Android Development
This is where you will find ROMs, mostly Touchwiz and a few modified AOSP ROMs. There are also tweaks for Touchwiz based ROMs that should be posted here. Do not create a new thread to ask a question here.
Original Development
This is where you will find mostly AOSP ROMs which are built from the source and are uploaded after they have finished compiling. The only exceptions here are original development such as tools which make development easier or tutorials for developing kernels, Calkulins EL29 since this was the original custom ROM for the E4GT. I think it should be in Android Development but I have no say in whether or not it should be moved.
Themes & Apps
This is where you will find discussion about various themes and modifications for your custom ROM. You can also find tutorials for various mods that change the appearance and functionality. If you find a nice app and would like to share your find with the community you may create a new thread here. App discussion is okay.
I'll update this periodically. I'm done for now. Hope you have a better experience after reading this. Good luck and enjoy the awesomeness we call XDA.
If you have any questions or need help with something, feel free to PM me. I will do the best that I can to help you. I am almost always online or checking in frequently.
Be careful... graydiggy is always ready to layeth the smacketh down on some noobs.

It was an exploit in the kernel, it should be called Exynos abuse. It was a root exploit in the kernel that could be manipulated thru a simple command with no user knowledge or input, hence why it was patched. Rogue apps could surreptitiously gain root access without the users knowledge. It was also used for an app based root exploit on devices with the exynos 4 based SoC.

Exynos Abuse by Chainfire. The exploit was brought to Samsung's attention and it was patched. They released a 2nd maintenance release for ICS which patched the exploit in FL24. Our developers here on XDA also patched the kernels, it was actually before Samsung did. Now all current and future builds are patched against the exploit.

Seriously I sleep like 4 or 5 hours a day and first thing I do I check xda while I'm doing my morning smoke 5 ciggs and take my constitutional, then I check every 5 to 15 minutes throughout the day sometimes I just keep hopping devices for a few hours straight. I'm like a junkie and xda is my heroin lmao. I wanna get some of those augmented reality glasses so I can practically mainline Tapatalk thru my eyeballs lol
Really I love reading stuff I'm interested in and im a research junkie so I'm constantly checked for new info to infuse into my brain. I'm always trying to learn more tricks to attempt things others tried but failed. I've got a new rom type I'm working on for twiz devices called AOSC which is android open source clone where im cloning twiz to look and function like aosp but retaining all stock twiz features. I've currently cloned vanilla rootbox 95%, I've got everything done but 4.2 noti toggles and hybrid UI/twiz launcher, 3rd party launchers I can force tablet mode, but im having issues with resizing on sysui and the twiz launcher. I'm gonna release a semi beta for the note 2 as soon as I update to the latest OTA. The features shouldn't be too hard to port to other twiz roms and my work will be open for anyone to port to their sammy device. I love aosp but I miss the functions and stability of stock firmware so I'm cloning aosp into twiz by making or cannibilizing the features to clone into twiz.

When updating the second post, Mattix, make sure you include that I am always watching and ready to lay the smack down on some noobies.

stock rom repo's

how come rwilcos stock roms are smaller file sizes than the manufactures stock rom size..? To gain root you do is inject it through a custom recovery and then flash back to stock and if you want then remove bloat.....but even with these steps the manufactures rom still remains heavier why is that...is rwilcos leaving out some system files or what?

Not sure I'm understanding your question..
When we make them for the Repo, we usually pack them for smaller download size..
Are you saying that once extracted you're comparing sizes and they are in fact smaller?
I can guarantee that we do not remove anything prior to public release.
Please clarify.
i was refering to the upload not the extraction. thanks you answered my question anyways

You're welcome.
I hope you understand my concern where people may think we "remove" anything from a stock build. I just wanted to clarify that it doesn't happen.
Glad you have the answer, and thanks for asking. If you asked, I'd bet someone else may think the same. Glad to clear it up.
:beer:
Moho, I'm sure that if anything "is" removed it's probably something that's not needed and it'll probably enhance the performance of the rom.

Considering RWilco taught Garwynn, myself and others on packing (based off what he was taught by sfhub), I can say without a doubt that we do not in fact remove anything from the stock tars.
While I appreciate what your comment means, I want there to be zero doubt about anyone removing anything from stock. Otherwise it wouldn't be stock.
I think this conversation has ran it's course and doubt shouldn't be interjected into what the repo is or what it provides.
I will ask for this to be closed by a mod.
I hope you understand what this conversation could lead to and its not needed to be entertained. No offense meant.
Thread Closed, hope the above is enough, if not, please PM Rwilco and ask that way to get a direct answer.

Jelly Thunder RC4

I need some perspective here. I have been rockin Jelly Thunder RC4 (which happens to now be closed with no links to RC4) since late January and have had no desire to flash anything else. Prior to attaching myself to JT, I was simply a flashaholic like most of us. I have this rom tweaked and setup to completely satisfy my needs.
A few days ago, I called myself looking around. I did a nandroid of my current setup in anticipation of flashing one of the newest latest greatest roms. Ultimately, I couldn't do it. Am I missing anything out there right now? There appears to be a wealth of activity and some great looking roms buzzing with activity. Are there any other rogue JT RC4 uses out there that can relate to where I am right now? Do I need therapy? Lol... I absolutely love this rom. Sadly, it was abandoned but the developer abandoned a masterpiece.

Where would you suggest I post a general thought? Some questions are obviously rhetorical.. The purpose the post is simply to see if there are any others out there still rockin the rom and to give the rom some props.

Yes you are! Thanks for the swift move.
JT was a great rom. I'm a flashaholic though so I change my roms like my underwear, a couple time a week. (I kid, I kid).
But for me newest clean rom is worth a try. It uses the newest international rom and is super smooth and great battery with lots of mods and themes floating around.
I also keep back ups of Jedi and Team Zodiac's rom. Both good choices.
Roms are opinion based of course but I don't see how you've kicked the need to flash.

Thanks for the perspective. I don't believe I have really kicked the need to flash. Just gotten hooked on something that completely filled every perceived void. I have been looking at CleanRom. Are you using the universal cleanrom or the ATT specific variant?
Sent from my Jelly Thunder equipped beast.
International all the way. Much better. No carrier bloat and newer releases as far as changlist straight from Samsung.
Hang tight, Wish and I are planning a rom when 4.2.2 comes out, if it does like they say. I have no answers to why truth walked away. Even if JT gets an update, you won't even notice the difference. I'm sure he checks xda, so maybe he can respond. Dought it.
