Hello,
I am due for an phone upgrade in a few weeks. I currently have a Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Touch with a data/charge port that does not work. I am considering not upgrading to a new phone, but instead tether wirelessly to an android tablet which I may purchase. I have not any success with any tethering applications with the SGS2. As much as I would the newest phone Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I imagine it would not be rooted for a while and I would rather have a phone that can be rooted without too much trouble. I plan to tether an android tablet to it.
Any recommendations or suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I would suggest posting in the 4g touch forum rather than the 4g.

The post above you already said enough. Epic 4G never had an official update beyond FC09/19. If you have GCxx then you are an Epic 4G Touch - separate forum available elsewhere.

I've tried Starburst ROM, Criskelo and Lite'ning. They all flash perfectly fine but when my phone boots up I have no service. Any advice? Please help. I'm a noob. By the way I have an SPH-D710 if that helps any.
Try staying on stock and then root with stock kernel
If that works its all good just flash a custom rom on top of that and reflash the rooted stock kernel
If thats a no ho try lost kernel
Also viper rom i think has lost kernel built in

Right now I flashed my phone back to the stock kernel are you saying I should use a different one? Sorry I'm just new to this android game.
Maybe you're doing the same thing I was doing. The Galaxy S2 and Epic 4G Touch are two different phones. The GS2 uses a SIM card, so if you have a GS2 ROM, then you won't have service since it's looking for a SIM card. Check to make sure you're downloading a Epic 4G Touch ROM so that you don't get bricked like I did. -_-
What ROMS can I use for an Epic 4G?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
First you need to make sure you're getting the right Roms for your phone...are you confusing epic 4g with epic 4g touch? Two different phones...

Don't flash any ROM thats not in this forum. This is the development section specifically for the Epic Touch

I've been around for a bit from the tmo dash to the touch pro to the evo and soon to the epic touch. I have a few questions which i hope some of.you can help me with. Does this have the same weak radios and horrible battery of the ns4g? And what's with all these build numbers fh this and that? What would changing the modem do? Is cwm still the most popular recovery? And finally, it has ics on it so will I be able to root?
I have been trying to read but I'm getting confused. I was able to only update the radios, rom and kernel now there are all these options.
Thanks in advance for any useful info

I had to root the evo through adb shell. I was too impatient to wait for a one click solutuon. That was a pain and a process. I've read that the et4g is one click root so I'm happy

Thanks for the replies. From reading I'm gathering that a modem is the same as a radio? And do I have to look at anything before I can just flash away (I mean in terms of being compatible). I hear these are easy to brick also...

Just look for the newest one download the .zip and flash through recovery. It all depends were u live radios r different for every phone a new modem might not work as good as a old one so just download a couple and which works better.

I got this from a friend who is getting an iPhone. He just had his S2 replaced like a month ago so I get a new phone for cheap. Im holding out my upgrade for a quadcore phone. I refuse to go with the LG only because I dont think the developer or factory support will be there. This should make my wait more bearable with my huge leap from NS4g.
I have jelly bean right now with everything working ok (except the massive battery drain) on my NS4G. Anything close to that on this phone? How is the developer support? Im coming from a phone with ok support and maybe like 3 choices that are updated consistantly.
Yes all modems are compatible with any rom and we have cm10 and aokp versions of jellybean. The brick issues are much much less now that we developers have identified the problem and made safe recoveries. Don't flash anything in stock recovery.
Hi all,
I'm going to buy a Telus 4G Samsung Galaxy S II™ X, However, I have some question:
1. Can I unlock the bootloader and install any ROM?
2. What is the latest official firmware? Is Samsung going to issue a JB?
3. How is the battery life?
4. Any advice
Thank you in advance
1. Yes
2. Telus has released 4.0.3 I believe. JB is supposed to be official for this phone.
3. It's ok, maybe gets through the work day, depending on usage.
4. If you do flash a ROM make sure it's for the t989 and not the international s2.
Enjoy.

Thank you very much.
Only thing I have to add is that the Koodo ROM floating around here doesn't work well with Telus as it has the Koodo AP baked into it by default. I'm loving CM 10.0.0 on this phone.

I'm on Telus and the Koodo ROM is amazing. You just have to manually add the APN (settings are listed in the thread).
CM10 is great too but TW ROMs have better call quality and battery life in my experience.
With Koodo V5 I typically do 2-2.5 hours of screen time, 1 hour of voice calling daily and I'm still over 20% when I plug it in at night.
the official android release is 4.0.4 now thats what I had when I purchased my SGH-T989D from Koodo. Telus and Koodo are practically the same I think?
Hey guys.
I'm also planning on buying the T989D. Could someone confirm that on the T989D we can flash any roms for T989 (t-mobile) ?
Can't wait to join the T989 community.
Thanks a lot.

Yes you can flash any t989 rom. I've only ever used Telus radio tho.
Awesome. Thanks. But what do you mean about Telus radio ? Thks.

Oh maybe you mean you didn't flash other radios that may be provided with the rom ?

You can also flash anything from the skyrocket forum.. I haven't had mixed results with their roms but they still shouldn't brick ur phone.. It's pretty much the same phone but theirs is LTE

I've never personally tried to flash any roms that weren't made for the t989.....not sure why someone would want to...since there are tonnes of roms made for our device.
If you're new to the phone....I'd stick with t989 roms for now.
The telslu radio is the t989dtlle4.
Yeah I'll stick to T989 roms to be on the safe side. It's gonna take time to try them all out anyway

Hi so this is my first thread. So I recently routed my gs3 with no problem, and I have CWM recovery v6. I tried to use the euroskank cm10 mod from the ROM manager app. Everything ran okay, but the one problem I'm having is the android keyboard stops working. I couldnt set anything up,so I had to restore to the stock ROM. Can anyone help me fix this? Thank you. Also, just to kill to birds with one stone, what is the best modem for the sprint gs3? Thanks a bunch!
Might just be a problem with the rom, did you read the bugs? Or did you clear all data before flashing?

That just sounds like a bug in the rom
Suppose so, a friend of mine can use the ROM with his GS3, but he has ATT. Maybe that's why his works

Wait, is the ROM in question even meant for the Sprint GS3? If not that could be a huge problem. Never ever flash a ROM from another carrier.
The ROM manager app gives me a selection of phones to flash CWM recovery with, and I chose the sprint GS3.

If your friend is running it on ATT, I would a assume that you're running 2 different ports of the same ROM. In that case each can have their own bugs and quarks.
And mine apparently won't let me use a keyboard, which makes it pointless anyway. So I should just find another rom specific to the sprint GS3. Know of any that I should look into?

I know this dosent have anything to do with the Virgin Mobile but in some ways it may.
It has been posted in android forums about being able to flash CM10.1 to the virgin mobile Galaxy S3 SPH-L10
suppose to have the same hardware as the sprint version can anyone confirm this Plesae I would love all the features to work. there is a stock
odin modem and also a stock flashable kernel too in the android forums in the section all things root virgin mobile Galaxy s3.
It would be awesome Devs would give this phone some love Thank You devs and guys. ps some one there also stated the had sucess with
the sprint cm10 rom:laugh:
This should be in the q&a section I believe. But if the Virgin mobile version of the s3 is exactly the same as ours, you should be able to flash any rom as long as you have your APNs correct
