I just bought a Sprint Epic 4g touch from a girl who says she got it just 2 months ago new as a gift. I believe her as the phone is flawless and in the box which looks new. Im with Cricket and want to flash the phone to it but after reading these forums I'm not so sure. What is a leaking kernel? Do I need to worry about having a expensive paper weight if I try to flash this phone? ...Anyone help a newb out?.
You really need to do a whole lot more reading.
All your questions are answered. Except the leaking kernel thingy; think that requires a doctor.
You may need this too.
So h
ere is a freeby check it out, may help

Well i tried searching but had no luck findin anything to do with what i'm needing to know. Guess i was searching for the wrong stuff idk. But i was needing to know since i had my shift flashed from sprint to cricket can it still be rooted? Thanks in advance.
Hum, 70 views and nothin.
Hell yeah, 2days and 124 views and not the first bit of help. Looks like i picked the wrong forums to turn to.
You left very little information dude. See if you can get more replies with more details.
Details? It's simple, evo shift flashed from sprints network to crickets. CAN it be rooted now? Simple yes or no. But no help needed anymore, went to a more helpful resource.
Rooted For Over Year Now.....Moment first....Now Epic.....if I had the touch, Would I be able to Flash with odin....cwm and not change the way things are on the phone now. I wouldnt see why not and seems like a stupid question, but I see the question with all my experience too many plus and minus answers! With being that I cannot tell how many tales I have explored. Just here for an honest anwser please.
Yea the flash does not touch data so you will be good.

Trust me I know I'm in the wrong section to ask this but when I went over to the Droid 2 section it was like a ghost town over there... Everyone ignores everybody's questions n there's really nothing going on as far as what I'm looking for.
I used to be on Verizon, cut the contract n had my Droid 2 flashed to metropcs where everythings working....kinda. I gave it to my mom back in Feb. When I got my EVO bc her phone was like 4 years old n holding on w. Duct tape. Since then its been updated to gingerbread n there are new prls for metro n i was wondering if any of the awesome devs here could help me update her phone bc right now its pulling under 90kbps. I tried looking in the d2 section but all questions concerning metro pcs have been ignored for months n saw no use even trying in there. Thanks in advance n I'm willing to accept the flames if I can get this issue resolved

hey folks i put my og epic on boost mobile about 10 months ago and well today it broke but it gives me a perfect excuse to come to the epic touch so im going to buy one tonight , but after doing a good amount of reading today i gotta say im a little bit nervous about it , i have heard of all sorts of problems like data and apn settings not sticking and going back to their originals every time you restart the phone to a thread i read that said someone rooted their phone and was no longer able to send mms , ive been through it all with the og epic and if its really just the same process as the old one then i should be fine but i am trying to find out some people who have there epic touch on boost who are active in the forums who i can ask for assistance if i need it , what im basically going for is rooted and deodexed with maddoggins lockscreens (love that guy) and if i can get to that point i can start putting themes together
anyways thanks and any responses would be appriciated
well i got the phone :-D its already rooted so hopefully thats a good thing its running 2.3.6 el29 looks like stock kernel , i was really hoping for feedback but here goes ...
oh yeah i will be following these directions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419488&highlight=boost
CORRECTION ... i am experiencing shenanigans since the sanyo 6760 usb drivers will not install on a 64 bit OS and all 3 computers here are 64 bit ... i guess i will have to do this tomorrow so i would still like to say that before i get started any experience from anyone thats done this would be greatly appriciated !!!
I don't think your being ignored just havent seen boost stuff around these parts for a while, although I think I saw a how to a while back for boost users may just do a search and hope for the best gl!
Edit: derp the link you posted is the only thing I have seen sorry

as of now im getting 3g very speroadically and when i try to make a call i get " your
account could not be validated " and it wont let me send or recive mms messages im really kinda stressed out because i have a really cool phone that until i get this done right is basically broke , im stuck using my donor phone during the day and it just sucks any help would be really appriciated
i really wish i wasnt talking to myself here ... ugh anyways after looking around a bit i realised that EL is a later build so im going to odin back to eg30 and try again ... update soon
not many people trying to do this with the epic touch so you may have to try to look at some other avenues to get this going. Best of luck to you

First of all I would like to thank all of you hear that have sound wisdom in dealing with my nightmare. I'm so new to this that my last phone's antennae is still on the top of my care and phone is in it's big carrying bag LOL. I'm 50 years old but am not done trying to learn something new. Here's the problem. I have a note 2 i317 that i bought online from someone. It's build number is jedi xp 9 android 4.1.2 Dernel version 3.0.31 SaberKernel_07+ptmr3 ect ect. So I have little to no signal strength and cannot hook up to the internet. I've called straight talk and spent an hour or two with them as well to no avail. I've been up and down these posts but I'm lost as how to employ some of the things that I have read about. Remember that I'm a noob to the max. I would love someone to put the instructions on how to fix my phone, in plain english that i can understand. I thought I might have a bad sim card as well but don't know how to check it. I've put at least 6 different apn's in and nothing. My old phone worked great in my house now i have this 500 dollars ornament that I can barely even get calls on. PLEASE can someone help me? I would be very grateful to say the least. I've read if you install something wrong that you can brick your device (whatever that means, but it doesn't sound good). I will be anxiously awaiting for the bravest soul to write me back. I say brave cause with me it might take a while. Sorry
Sincerely
Ed
You only 'thought' that you may have a damaged sim card but did you try to change it to a new one?

Would love to help you Ed, need more information on what you mean by 'low signal / cannot connect to internet'. Do you have normal phone service i.e. make calls & send receive texts?
Did the phone ever work at one point, or once you gained possession and tried it, you got the described result? I don't have your AT&T version phone but may be able to help with more info from you.
Is the modem is ur carrier modem?
Have u tried to change the modem to your carrier modem?

Yes it does work with voice and text messages but no mms and I can't connect to the internet cause of the weak signal I suppose. I haven't tried a new sim card just yet. Installed one that they sent me 5 months ago but when I called them today to activate it was no longer any good. They told me I took too long to activate it and they were sending out another one. As for the signal ...it's very weak. Like one bar two at the most. When we went to oshkosh over the weekend I saw that most everyone was on their cell phone and I couldn't call my kids unless I went searching for an area where my phone would work. I never had this problem before with my other phone that was through straight talk. I spent all day today looking for some more possibilities here and saw that maybe my modem on the phone is no good. I tried to download one and I did but haven't put it into the phone cause I'm scared that I might do it wrong and then the phone will be even more messed up than it is. i believe it's this one i717-ics-ucle2. The guy said it worked good for his straight talk. But if you all think that it's something different then please let me know. Thank you all very much for your time and patience with me. I will definitely try to learn more now that I found this wonderful website.

Hi Ed,
the phone has been modified by the owner who sold it to you. He has changed the software oh the Note2. The Problem is we don't know whether there was any problem in signal for him as well. First check whether the SIM is working fine on any other phone. If it does, then I'm afraid you might have to restore the phone to the original Software to make sure this is not a Hardware issues.

and yes dont try to use traingle away in custom rom as it need stock rom orelse it may lead to brick , just do some reading there or wait for proper assistance from some1 using the At&T variant
Ed, I'm hoping the links provided to you from other posters has helped. Some of the suggestions have been to try flashing new modems (you're hesitant) and even to install a new ROM. If you have managed to correct your problem, kindly update the thread so other users can benefit from your experience.
If you've had no joy, pursue within the forum for your specific device (AT&T it seems) and good luck!
note 2 problems

Hi all and thanks again for the help you have given me. I just got my new sim card today and it seemed to help. I can get on the internet now but my signal is still only one bar and sometimes not there at all. But at least I can connect via wifi. So the sim was partly to blame. Tweeny...I never said that I wouldn't put another radio or modem on my phone, I'm just not too sure about how to do it just yet. I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is. I should just dive into it and see what happens. If anyone else has anymore ideas as to why i have poor reception and also I still can't mms, please let me know. Thank you all once again. I will be a regular visitor here and hopefully one day I can be as confident and resourceful as all of you. God bless you all
Hi ed
i reckon u could read up and try flashing a different modem. beyond that flash a different rom. but u obviously have a lot of reading b4 that. good luck
