[Q] A Dad's cry for rooting help!

My son always does my computer/cell phone fixes, but he just got out of major surgery and will be mentally and physically out of it for a while and I need help. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4G (Epic) , Gingerbread.EI22 2.3.5. --- Sprint recently forced an auto upgrade on it and unrooted my tethering program. I have looked on all sorts of websites and don't understand their instructions. You geniuses speak a different language than I do. Could someone provide, or point me to, simple step by step instructions to get back my Wireless Tether?

From one dad to another here you go, easy to follow videos by qbking77:

Sorry B...LOL! Been sneaking in here and there and seeing you do a great job with the advice. This was one dad to another so had to help. Plus had time during football today. Keep up the great work!

Feel free to ask questions about any steps you get hung up on.

Kenny, I'm just now saying thanks because I couldn't figure out how to do it before. And, to everyone else that commented, "Thanks". But, I still don't understand about the thanks button.

Hi everyone.... ok this is the process I recommend. Write down in order the files and steps needed and to be performed. Its actually simple. To start u off, u turn the phone off. give the phone about 30 seconds to completely power off. The with the keyboard open, u press and hold. The "1" button and press power button at the same time. This gets u into download mode. Then just proceed with the rest of the process.

That's cool AM and I see you helping out a lot. However if you read back this question was solved and did not need any further replies so we can let it drop so new questions can stay at the top with people that need more immediate help. Thanks.

If this has helped any on I would appreciate if u hit thanks .
I would also like to now others opinion on what they think about it
Now u don't have to worry about flashing that new ROM or mod because u are on the road or any thing else as long as u have this CD with u u will always be able to recover this is also good for people who r having trouble installing fast boot drivers and adb this eliminates that problem for u

There is no such English word spelled "u". Time to start spelling like a big boy, ok?

And maybe he could find those punctuation keys that are on keyboards. It would be easier to read and comprehend.

First off is this how y'all get your rocks off roming forum trying to find people to insult so what I can't spell good I don't give a damn about grammar that is the least of my worry I've been out of school for 16years I a redneck from Alabama I build power lines for a living and I just happen to like messing with my phone so I'm sorry if I don't give 2shits about grammer I asked 1kds if he could put this together for me and I thought I would share with xda y'all r the reason this site has a bad name cause of people like y'all and why many great dev want post here so if u read this and I now there grammar ant right I don't give a sh-t and go f- ck ur self HAVE A NICE DAY

I actually used that method to restore my Droid X at one point and I must say it was AWESOME! Granted this phone is much easier to monkey with but either way I am grateful for developers taking the time to help out in any way possible.

XDA is a forum , not a hardware manufacture store!

Is this what you learned from XDA? You guys said that he should ask nicely but read your comments. . . You guys are like first graders. :laugh:
nirupom,
XDA guys here are short tempered these days . . . If you want others to help you, please, for the sake your phone's keyboard, use all the keys and type the words correctly.
Anyway, as you *might know, SIII is running ICS, we cannot expect any port of camera app from SIII. It will not run on Gingerbread.
PS. Keep your cool guys, you've been there before! Even I sometimes can be fat fingered when typing with SGY's little keyboard. :laugh:

Easy PORTING to sprint note2

i have been looking for an easy way or guide to port things from the other carriers note 2 to our Sprint one....im finding no luck.....perhaps this may be better suited for the q n a section but i dont really know.....it is the same damn phone so there must be some sort of guidelines shouldn't there?

Its not the same phone .... some of it is but for some reason sprint changed the mount point on some partitions ... there are small changes to the hardware it just takes time to do things ...beyond compare is a good program to use when porting ROMs it allows you to compare the 2 ROMs side by side . Remove and replace stuff
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

he's pretty much right about it. they are different phones. however in the end they are nearly the same. i use beyond comparison 3 and have made success in porting the Sprint ROM to work on my USCC phone. doing this with the international versions would be a lot more difficult though. if you do attempt anything, be sure to use a Sprint kernel with another variants system. it will boot. the tough part is only fixing the radio issues. hope this helps a little bit.

i guess its more like mods i would want like specifically the way the atnt note2 can configure the multi window tab to be any where on screen,top /side whatever......i guess ill just wait till after Christmas when hopefully a whole bunch of devs will jump ship

you mean the same feature that LK8 has? where you can move the tab anywhere you like?

You can already do that in LJC. Just press and hold on the little tab while it is out and voila you can move it wherever you want

ohh **** really? on lk8?
question then....can i run this jellybomb rom if i update to the lk8? i figured no.

You just have to have the tab out showing the apps then press and hold on the little tab part and it moves anywhere. If the tab is in it just slides up and down the side

Multi window stopped working

I updated the phone to 4.1.2 last week and the multi Window feature was working OK. But today I tried to use it and it doesn't work. I'm no expert at this but I think that long pressing the back button should open the menu on the left side of the screen. Nothing happens... Am I doing something wrong?

Members I am amazed on how, quickly we are to point out and point at...
1) Yes this thread should have been in the Q&A, which if some reported it, the Moderation Team would of gladly moved it.
2) Why the quick to correct users that may not be as advance of a user than yourself.
Maybe Members did not mean it that way, as it is hard to relay your message on a forum, never the less, being providing in a civil manner is best...Thank You.
