hello everyone this is my first time asking a question on here so forgive if i got this in the wrong section.
i was wondering if you all could tell me how to "uninstall" cyanogenmod 10 off my samsung epic, but without unrooting.
i like cyanogenmod but i have to get it off because i cant change phone lines within my account because in order to put service back on my phone sprint wants me to dial ##somenumbers# and a menu is suppose to pop up but it doesnt and i think i read somewhere around here that you dial those "codes" in the dialer because they wont work.
soo I followed qbkings method to root my phone. youtube title = how to root the samsung epic on FC09
then i installed cyanogenmod10 using his method again
I did this to two samsung epics since i have two samsung epics at my disposal and i would follow qbkings method of unrooting
but i tried that on of the epics but odin failed and it got completly bricked and I mean hard bricked. so i am extremly fearful of even attempting qbkings unrooting method since i completly bricked one of the epics trying to unroot it.
and i was thinking that since i followed qbkings method i just need to go to recovery mode after turning off the phone and then clear everything data and cache.
and then do the install zip from sd card and just install the deodexedFC09 zip file that i previously put on the card when i was rooting my phone.
and then that would be it but i am extremly fearful of messing with the phone like that because i really dont want to brick my phone so i come to you all today for your help on this because i am new to rooting and flashing roms on my phone so i didnt really know whereelse to ask.
Ive tried looking for help on the forums and the web but i did not find nothing so i just rather ask then ...
You can buy a jig for like $1-2 to jump the bricked one back in dl mode then flash full stock, as for the other, there is a boot from sdcard rom that will enable you to activate your phone without uninstalling cm10

Also, you can just flash a tw mtd rom to get those dialer codes woring... just flash TPR (the peoples rom) after backing up cm10... flash tpr, boot it, call sprint, do your thing, restore backup of cm10... all done...
alright ill try that but can you tell how to flash the peoples rom? or anyother rom for that matter.
i assume that i boot into recovery mode and clear everything and install from sdcard and look for the zip of the rom? im not sure if thats how to do it? if not can you explain to me how?

That's exactly right. Remember to wipe data in cwm. Use titanium backup to back up any 3rd party apps and data you need first.

All ROMs are in the development subforum:

alright thanks man hopefully everything goes well.
i download the mtd one right ? since i have cyanogenmod 10
alright just to be clear
1st i download the peoples rom on my pc and transfer it to the sd card.
then 2nd I boot into recovery and click on backup ? correct
3rd after that is done i wipe data and factory reset?
4th I wipe cache partition
5th go to advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache?
6th install zip from sd card and look for the peoples rom and install that right?
this would be how to install the peoples rom if i have cyanogenmod 10?

You can, but its probably easier to just restore the back up you made in cwm before flashing the peoples rom...
how would i restore it ? i did make a backup of cm10..

Boot into recovery, go to backup and restore, press restore, press on the backup you just made (the name will be the date). And press restorre... once you boot into recovery, its pretty self-explanitory from there on out...
alright man thanks alot to all of yall who replied i really appreciated it. i will post back on here on the status of me with sprint and flashing cm10 back.
alright i tried to activate my phone online with sprint but it wouldnt work so i called customer service and phone is up and running with service.
once again thank you very much everyone

I had this issue back when I had my original Evo. I just flashed it back to a stock rooted Sense ROM and it worked. If it is a stock TW ROM (The Peoples Rom is), then all Sprint codes will work.

Why don't you use ti backup? It makes a backup of your apps and data
Though you could try dirty flashing but you will likely run into more issues
Though I would erase everything and clean flash the update

For backing up apps? Well titanium backup has a ton of options but if you don't want to spent $7 on an app then I would use carbon backup

you shouldn't need to clean flash the nightly. just flash it. that's it.
Calisro,
what you mean with this... "you shouldn't need to clean flash the nightly. just flash it. that's it."..??
please explain me....
Regards
What he means is that what your trying to do is basically an update.
Your not flashing a different build or rom, your just updating your existing build.
Your just adding some updates and changes that the dev made so that your build is current.
Download update to your sd card, go to your recovery and flash away. (Probably wouldn't hurt to wipe cashe and dalvic)
You should check the rom thread, there may be specific instructions on how to update, usually if no special instruction is posted, its just a matter of flashing the update and rebooting.
By the way "clean flashing" is when you wipe all data, like factory reset.

So I have decided to finally root my Galaxy S III, and I haven't installed a custom ROM since my Galaxy S days a few years back, so I am a little iffy on certain things. I was successfully able to root it and everything, I just have a quick question about backing up. When installing a custom ROM and wiping everything, I will lose everything on my phone currently correct? This includes music, photos, etc? I have backed up my phone using Titanium Backup Pro, but I am assuming since that is just for data and apps, that won't include my music and photos on my internal storage, correct? So, will I need to manually back those up? Thank you for help. Also any suggestions ROM's would be helpful; I was thinking of flashing Masterpiece V7 since that is based off of Cyanogen 11 with KitKat 4.4.4. Thanks once again!
Internal sdcard wont be wiped unless you factory reset while stock recovery is installed. Still, you should always have a backup of ALL your important data. Things can always go wrong. You are never guaranteed anything.
Ah, so my internal storage won't be wiped when I perform a factory data/reset using CWM Recovery? That's mandatory since this will be my first ROM install, correct?

Yeah it won't wipe your internal SD and yup, its mandatory!
Thanks for all of the help! What exactly is erased when performing those functions?
Everything on the /data partition except internal sd.
Ah, alright. Are there any specific ROM's you guys recommend? I am trying to have the most stable version of 4.4.4, essentially.

We cannot "recommend" any specific ROMS here since everybody's needs and usability requirements are different and we don't want to take away from other developers who have worked hard on their ROMS. I can however suggest not to go with 4.4.4 because it can make rooting and modding more difficult and it adds absolutely nothing to the 4.4.2 usability. It just adds some security features. If you like stock and TW, go with a stock based ROM. if you don't like all that bloatware and want a more "pure android" experience, go with a AOSP based ROM. But I would suggest just trying a few out until you find one that you like.

From my experience, you don't have to do a factory reset if you are going from a TW based ROM to TW or AOSP to AOSP of the same or new version of android (4.3 -> 4.3 or 4.2 -> 4.3), although it is generally recommended. But you do have to factory reset when switching between AOSP, AOKP and TW or downgrading versions.
Hello. I gotta question.. I've got LP 5.0.2 installed. Rooted with TWRP. And I don't like lollipop, to many issues with compatibility. So my question is can I use twrp to install clean ROM 4.4.4,?? I no its a downgrade. But I can do it on. MY gs3's , just wondering if its the same...

It's generally bad form to post the same thread in multiple forums. This forum is the best one - please consider deleting your duplicate in the General forum.
Yes, you can use TWRP to install a custom KitKat ROM from Lollipop. I just downgraded myself from stock 5.02 to CyanogenMod 11. The key was to wipe everything except internal storage, assuming you want that.
Yea. didn't mean to dub post. ill delete the other.
But thanks for the answer. Do need to do advance wipe? The devik and one other.. Can't rebember.. On my gs3 I used CWM. So its a little different.....

No worries. Thanks for your consideration.
I don't know if you have to do an advance wipe. I'd be leery of doing anything less than an advance wipe - KitKat and Lollipop are pretty different versions of Android. I wouldn't want to risk anything get mixed together if there isn't a clean install on a blank slate.
OK. I went into advanced wipe and cleared devik, data and system.. I left my internal storage.. That was the correct way to do it correct???
It saying that I only have 7.63gb free?? That don't sound right....
EDIT: installed CleanRom 3.0.8 (4.4.4 KK) from LP 5.0.2

That would be because you didn't format data so there is still stuff left over on your internal storage. I recently downgraded from lollipoop (Yes I spelled it that way on purpose) back to kitkat for the same reason and I had to format data because I still had gigabytes of space being taken up by Additional files for large games like GTA. What I did was move all the stuff I wanted to keep to my otg flash drive then formatted data and finally selected advanced wipe then wiped everything but USB otg. Finally I installed carbon ROM and gapps and all is good.
OK, I dont want to post in the ROM area.. as far as I remember I am suppose to post here.
So I would like to install 14.1 on my note 2 I317. I did it last night.. not great results, but it was the root thing.
I am not sure the dev thread is updated on the latest way to upgrade the phone.
Anyone help? I flash the rom, then the apps (is the stock still the best option?) and then what do I do about root, because in the last few posts of the dev thread I see something about not flashing.. and flashing.
and then there is the HWC thing? am I doing this>? or no?
James
Also I am coming from way back on a rom called SLIMFAST 4.4 - If I want to carry over apps and data.. what is the best way to do that? or can I really?
James
You will carry the data (music, videos etc.), but app data no.
I don't recommend you to flash HWC as you are beginning with this and it is still test stuff.
Anyway steps:
1. Flash latest version of TWRP.
2. Backup. (In case something goes wrong)
3. Wipe dalvik, cache, system, data.
4. Install LineageOS.
5. Install Google Apps. There aren't 'the best'. It all depends on you which you want to use/how much google stuff you want on your phone.
6. Install magisk for root - http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
7. Reboot.

Or u can just backup APKs using this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.usage.appbackup
And restore them with just one click using this :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sharon.oneclickinstaller
But if you want data too, Titanium is good
well since the install the first time did not work well I restored the backup I did.. Now tonight I was trying to use the gps, and it is now not working since I restored the backup?
Is it possible something happened there??
When you restore a backup ( I did a complete with everything) I dont have to wipe stuff out first do I?

well, the partitions that is going to be restored are wiped by default before restoring the backup, so there's no need to wipe, it might be a bug in the ROM and you didn't notice it before.
anyway, you can try wiping manually then restore.
btw, your thread name is confusing, it's better not to right in that form......[ROM][7.1.2][OFF..........when it's a normal help thread.
well I am not sure it is a normal help thread.
For 2 years I have been using slimfast 4.4 no issues - and then I decided to try this rom, and it breaks my GPS.
I have restored 3 different backups I had of slimfast 4.4 dating back to January 2015. None of them does the GPS work.
Before I tried the 7.1 upgrade I was locking 22 satellites in about 45 seconds. Now I cannot lock to 1.
Is there an issue with this rom that would break the GPS to the point that no matter what rom is in it wont work?
Or can someone give me a hint on what to try next? I can try and re-do the upgrade via Option58s instructions.

yes it's a normal help thread, your thread name is more like a ROM thread name!, however...
did you try a clean install of the kitkat rom first?
maybe something is making a conflict or whatever I'm not sure..
try a clean install and see if the GPS is fixed.
clean install of 4.4 and no gps. apps that can show if the hardware is there, so it is present and available? but no app gets a lock.. on even 1 satalite.

I'm not sure, last thing to try is Flashing stock ROM, if that didn't help it, then it's a hardware damage.
