Hey guys can you tell me if I am running the latest stuff to run Myns Rls5? I installed and flashed it but when it finishes and I can unlock my Evo it goes to the HTC white screen and stays there... any suggestions? Here is a screen shot of what I am currently running.
I did this last night. Easiest way is this:
Flash this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9a1ju....00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip
^^That will update your Radio, WiMax, PRI, and NV all at the same time. After you flash it, it will ask you to reboot. Let it reboot. When it comes back up you will see a phone graphic on a gray/black background. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. It is flashing the radio. Your phone will reboot into recovery once it's done. When you're back in recovery, Flash Myn's ROM. Then you should be good to go from there.
I forgot to add. Wipe EVERYTHING before flashing the ROM.
Well you are up to date on the firmware side. But how are you installing this(amo-ra or CWM) ?

I dont know why people use clockwork when so many have trouble with it. amo-ra is just as easy to use.
I am installing through ROM manager. is this the wrong way ? And should I install the radios from the link in my first reapond? By the way you guys are faster than anything!! Thanks for the quick responds!

Sorry this might be a stupid question but. What's amo-ra? I only use rom manager and never heard of anything else besides that .

ROM Manager is just bloatware. Download Quickboot from the market. I use that to quickly get into recovery or bootloader.
Yes, use the link i provided. It will flash all the firmware upgrades you need (radio, pri, nv, wimax).

Go to the bottom of ROM Manager. What do you see listed as your Recovery?
By you using rom manager, you are using CWM, don't use it; just download it to your sd card and install it like that,but make sure to use Amo-ra.
I hate when people don't provide references from where they got the links so here is the thread for the firmware upgrade i provided. You can download from here (the combo) to make sure it's safe.

A little off topic, but was wondering if someone could quick answer my question. I have been using this ROM for a couple of weeks, and also using Riptides theme, I tried using my hdmi yesterday and it didn't work. Just wondering if it is disabled with this Rom? Appreciate if someone could answer this with out having to look for or start a new post. Thanks

Some people have been having problems. My suggestion would be to make a nandroid backup, flash the ROM without any mods and test whatever you want to test. If it works without any mods, then you know that your mods are causing the problem. I personally have never used the hdmi out so i can't test this myself.
Hello, I downloaded the 4.2 on my phone while I was at work last night. when I came home I moved the 4.2 to the SDCard root, CW3 reboot to recovery, went to the 4.2 and began to flash, heres what I got:
"script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/midNIGHT_ROMv4.2_BYOR_EDITION_.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?? Again I did remove my SDcard, insert it into the computer, and moved the 4.2 to the root of the SD card, reinstalled into the phone and boot into recovery with CW3.

You guys are in the wrong section. You should be posting in this thread/ I only saw this cause someone pointed this out to me on twitter.
To answer your question though v4.2 in no just an update. It's a completely rebuilt rom using a different base. I need more information in order to try to help. So please give me the following:
Version of CW recovery?
How you tried to flash?
Are you currently Stock?
and please post those on the correct thread so you get some attention.
I have an older Version of MidNIGHT ROM 3.x... when I went back to continue to use my phone, I have Several FC's and most of my phone was inoperable, I went to CW3 and recovered, now my phone sits at the SAMSUNG logo....

I sent u the tweet because now my phone is bricked and idk what to do.
I am using CW 3.0.5
the phone was booted, I went to Clockwork mod and rebooted to recovery
I am running an older version of midNIGHT ROM v.3.x I'm sorry IDK which exact ROM I have
By the way I did remove the old midnight rom from SD along with the Extras folder
oh and the reason I did not post on that thread is because I am New and have less than 10 posts, I am not allowed to post to a Developers Thread.
I believe version 3.xxx were dk28 based and when you tried to flash 4.2 which is eb13 based it crashed because it had the wrong kernel. So the fix to both would be to odin to stock eb13. After that then just follow his instructions and you should be good to go.

I thought about that when he wrote it was an all new base, I will have to return to stock anyway to un-brick, so I just need to odin to the EB13??? I will try this soon and update my progress, right now I have misplaced my Micro USB, (fail) but I will have to borrow one after I get all my downloads done.
ok, so far I have sucessfully odin'ed to my bone stock 2.1, now I have to do everything else.

I was just going to link you to that thread. I used odin so it was already rooted with CWM3 and have had no problems at all. I've Flashed Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.0.1 , Bonsai4ALL 3.0.1 and Midnight ROM 4.2 with no problems.
Hey I had a ics ROM and then I restored a Ginger Bread backup. Do I have to do anything. It worked and just put everything back the way it was before I flashed the ics ROM.

Do you mean stock? As in the way it was when you first bought it?
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
Well if you did want it bone stock again but with ROOT then I have a link that takes you to Zedomax's website where he has a download that includes root: http://epic4gtouchroot.com/epic-4g-touch-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-newsph-d710/
To do it just follow the instructions and it will remove everything off of the phone and return it to stock W/root. To remove root just download ES file manager from the "Play Store", I hate that name, and then find the superuser.apk and remove it.
He says how to do this on his website. That's actually how I got into flashing and rooting and all this nonsense. ^^b
Make sure you put you phone into download mode before you connect your phone and also make sure you have KIES with the drivers installed on your computer.
I flashed a ics ROM and did not like it so I restored a android backup of the blazer 4.0 ROM.
As much as I am confused by the OP, anyone else think it's wierd that someone would link to some other site for getting back to stock on XDA? What with all the resources available right here?

I guess im good to go. I just wanted to know it if was safe for me to flash a ics ROM I am waiting for a stable ROM.
Hate to say it Paden, but your posts have not been very clear.
When posting here, it's very important to be very detailed about what rom you're on, what you flashed, in what order, and any symptoms or problems you are having.
If I've got it correctly...
You flashed some ICS rom, didn't like it, then flashed back to Blazer's?
And things are working?
You didn't do a complete stock restore first?
What recovery was built into the ICS rom?
What kind of wiping did you do before flashing?
And why are you looking for another ics ROM to flash to?...

How do you do that
I was going to post a thread asking a similar question. I've been running blazer for a while, and eventually I downloaded the Goodness and ran with it for a week. It was nice and all but for the moment I still prefer GB...however, my nandroid backup didn't work, it told me I had an MD5 mistmatch. So I just went into the ICS recovery and reflashed Blazer no problem. It's been perfect since. Afterwards I was reading the thread on how to not brick your phone, and it said to do exactly the opposite of that. Does that make me the luckiest man in the world? or am I missing something. Would it be okay to try it again?

It's all luck, the current ICS recovery is very iffy on flashing and even wiping data is bricking some devices, if you want to continue using your phone I suggest making a nandroid backup before you flash ICS then flash ICS, and if you wish to go back to GB then ODIN to EL29 and install clockwork mod and restore nandroid, or it won't be long before you have some fancy paperweight.
MultiLockOn said:

Make sure u do a nandroid back up using the gb recovery before u try these steps...... Simple lets saY u are on blazers 4.0 rom n u have a zip of a ics rom put it on your sdcard go into recovery n do a full wipe i use calkins full wipe then i flash the ics rom keep in mind that after you flash the ics rom you will lose your gb recovery n you will have a ics recovery n if you don't like the ics rom u can go to the ics recovery n restore ur nandroid backup make sure to do a full wipe before restoring your backup n when you finish your restore you will have your gb rom n ur gb recovery... Ive done this like a million times n never had a problem BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK... ONE MORE THING I NEVER FLASH ANY ROM USING A ICS RECOVERY

As long a your just restoring a backup from ics recovery you're fine, it may be a problem when flashing roms from it that results to bricking. So if i read right from your beginning post all you did was just restore so you're fine.
im stock rooted on lg8. I am looking to update to LI3 and i have found several ways to that. However i'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a way I can update without affecting "google now for ICS". I saw an "all-in-one" download of baseband/radios etc...but the thread said something like "if i have and altered .apk's that it wouldn't work". In short i'm looking to be stock rooted on li3 without losing google now. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Boot into cwm or twrp and make a backup of your current Rom, then wipe only cache/dalvik cache and flash the Ll3 on top of your current Rom....if it works great if not reload your backup and hope someone has a better suggestion

Hi guys, sorry if this is stupid. I've flashed ROMs to 3 or 4 phones before this one and didn't have any issues with them, but this time around it doesn't seem so easy. My phone is a virgin mobile galaxy s2 (d710)
My phone has been rooted for a while and my stock ROM started randomly freezing up on me 4-5 times/day, so I finally decided to flash a ROM. The stickied post says to use odin mobile to flash to GB - EL26 Stock w/ CWM then to flash the ROM I want. Any ROM I tried flashing gave a status 7 error and aborted, EXCEPT for one ROM, and on that one I didn't even have working 3G? I believe this thread implied doing it any other way would be a hard brick.
I finally ended up using samsung's official upgrade tool in download mode to flash back to stock ROM, but it would be nice to get a custom on now that I've put time into it.
Can anyone point me in the direction I need to go?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm currently on the 4.1.2 stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50070702
I'm guessing you're trying to flash a KitKat ROM? Using Mobile Odin and EL26CWM will work when flashing 4.2.2 (and under) ROMs, but not KitKat. You'll need the last Blasphemy 6.6 kernel (just for the updated ClockworkMod), located in Original Development, for that.
In your case, you'll probably want to flash FJ12 or FL26 (if you can find it) modem zips, as you're on Virgin Mobile, and those are ICS Virgin Mobile modems, which you'll need to have working data/internet on Any AOSP ROM (JB modems won't work).
And this guide is assuming you're completely stock JB firmware, not rooted.

It looks like I'm on GB28 stock. I think agats caused a soft brick. I'm reflashing back to stock again now....I don't know what's going on with this phone.
Edit: Retried, got it to work this time. Thanks.
Is there a reason why you have to flash one recovery just to move onto another one? Would any recovery work installing any ROM? I'm a bit confused by all these different recoveries, since my last phone only needed one.

On this device, recovery comes bundled with the kernel. When you flash a ROM or kernel, the recovery that was on gets overwritten by the recovery that comes with the ROM/kernel you're flashing.
The reason everybody started using EL26CWM (gingerbread kernel) was due to a bug in the stock ICS firmware that was causing some people's devices to be permanently bricked when doing a factory reset.
Status 7 error when flashing is usually due to using a recovery that's too old.
So to answer your question... No, there is no "be-all, end-all" recovery for this device. Sorry [emoji20]
Glad you got it working though

Thanks for the help. Now that I'm running CM11, I don't have visual voicemail and it looks like I can't receive MMS.
Serious props to the people that use custom ROMs that aren't driven insane by bugs, I'm irritated by it already.
Know of any fix?
I don't know about visual voicemail... I'm flashed to Cricket and just use the built-in voicemail statusbar notification. Have you tried pushing the apk manually? I'm pretty sure I've seen Virgin Mobile fixes here in the d710 forum.
As far as MMS goes, have you tried messing with the APN's? I don't think MMS will work as-flashed, out-of-the-box for you without modifying them for Virgin.
If you're getting annoyed by bugs, have you given stock, rooted deodexed GB28 a try? When i get the TouchWiz itch, I run deodexed GB28, along with Agat's 1.3 kernel, TD's AIO mod, and Missing Link mod (both found in Themes and Apps of this forum).
I'm currently running Slimbean build 7 (4.2.2) as it's super lightweight, stable, and has good battery-life.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Do you know where I could find the voicemail apk?
Also, where can I mess with the APNs/what would work there?
The only reason I want a custom ROM at all is to be on KitKat. It honestly disgusts me a bit that google hasn't standardized versions....I don't get why every phone needs it's own ROM and never gets updated....
Thanks man.
Edit: I did find a MMS fix and visual voicemail all in one zip, but flashing it screwed the phone and I had to restore in recovery.
As far as editing APN's, I use Nova Prime launcher to create a shortcut on my homescreen to access them. Create shortcut to Activities/Settings/APNs and make your edits there.
Have you tried extracting the contents of the zip and manually applying those changes? Sorry but I wouldn't know anything else about configuring for Virgin. Maybe you could ask in that respective ROM thread, as I'm sure there are Virgin Mobile users there that have everything working.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the ideas, I'm a bit slow sometimes when it comes to android/linux. I pulled the apk out of the zip, installed it, that's working fine. I just need to find a fix for my MMS. I can send but not receive.
Edit: I found a way to open the APN settings using voice dialer, but it's blank and choosing to add one, it does not save.

Just for clarification, if I want to flash a new ROM when I'm already on a custom, do I need to use odin mobile to flash back to that GB rom with CWM before I flash the recovery and new ROM? Or can I just wipe and flash new recovery from the one I have now?

If the new recovery you are talking about is safe to flash from...and the one you are currently using is safe to flash from...then you can just reboot recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then flash new recovery and then reboot recovery. Now you will be on the new, safe, recovery. So do your wipes ( data, cache, dalvik cache and format system ) and flash the rom.
If you want to go the mobile odin way..in case the recovery you currently have cant flash the new recovery you need, in order to flash the rom of choice..which im assuming is kitkat. As it needs the most up to date recovery to flash properly.
Then i have a simple guide you can follow to flash a safe kernel/recovery, in which you can then flash the newer recovery for flashing the rom you have choosen.
Link to guide. Post 5 is what you need to read.
If this sounds complicated or confusing..please post a link to current rom you wish to install and i will read the op and point you down the correct path.
Thanks, I was looking to use either of these. I've had issues with ROMs so far because I'm on Virgin Mobile and lots of stuff is buggy. Not sure which of these will work best:

I'm not normally confused by rooting/flashing, but I don't understand the whole "safe recovery" thing.

I see. Im not too familiar with what works with virgin mobile.
But if you can flash a virgin modem and set your apns after a flash.. That will get your data working. I'm at work.. But let me refewsh my memory later about virgin mobile on this device and I'll hit ya back.
Fyi.. I think jdsingle made a virgin mobile rom a while back.

Thanks, I looked for jdsingle and only found posts for 3D Evo I believe; no activity since 2011?

It was made for JB but it's a start

Yeah, I tried that one, it continually crashed my launcher every 3 seconds, had to reflash the ROM. It did give me the voicemail apk I needed though! Really if I could just get flash instructions for going from one rom to another, I'd be set probably.
Have you tried applying the changes and setting permissions in the zip manually, like with Root Explorer?

No, I'm honestly not sure how to do that. Linux's file structure is confusing to me. Granted I'm also having wifi problems on this rom too, it disconnects all the time.

It honestly isn't too difficult at all. All I see in the zip is a new apns-conf.xml (permissions are rw-r-r), 2 build.prop edits, and the deleting of telephony.db located in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
