Trying to return to stock. (Virgin Mobile) - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi all, I rooted my S2 a while back and am looking to un-do everything and return to stock. Have had way too many issues and am far too busy with work and my son to do the proper research as far as debugging and etc.
I have the Virgin Mobile S2. Android 4.1.2. Baseband- S710.10 S.GB28. Kernal version- 3.0.75+ AGAT GB_27_kernal #v1.4.2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 2 and am on Project X v3.1
I just want to completely return to stock and then I am going to re-root and stay stock with no custom kernal or ROM. I have lost my backups. I don't mind starting from scratch. Any help is MUCH APPRECIATED. Thing is just buggy as hell these days.

So, Just to be clear, I can simply flash any stock rom from where I am now and be good to go?

Well obviously I don't want ANY. I will use the Stock GB28 Virgin one. But that is all I have to do, correct? Just go into download mode and run the one click that I get from the link in that post? And *poof* I am back to being completely stock?
Sorry but I am a noob and this phone's development is way over my head. Just wanna get this thing back to how it was when I bought it and leave it alone lol

I am so sorry to be a nuisance. But if my assumptions are correct, When I go to download the one click there is one that says rooted and one that says unrooted. I am currently rooted. Does that mean I click the rooted button? I am just confused as to if it says rooted bc it is for rooted people, or bc it is for people who want to be rooted lol last question I promise. I am ready to get this over with!

SUCCESS.

Sorry, I was at work. Glad you got it.

No problem! It's amazing how much better my phone is now. Makes me want to try flashing something again because I must have had a bad flash or something. Really everything worked great besides my camera but with a 3 year old son, having no camera is a big no-no for me! It was really strange.

Need help finding compatible ROM

Ok so I have US Cellular's version of the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch (SCH-R760).
Long story short I messed up my build.prop folder and am stuck in a bootloop. I'm trying to find the stock ROM to flash with ODIN for my model but cant find it because its an obscure model. Does anyone know where I can find the stock SCH-R760 ROM, or a ROM compatible with my phone?
I'd even be cool with a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod, as long as its able to be flashed via ODIN and is compatible with my phone. Thanks in advance!
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/index.php?/topic/1525-stock-odin-files/
here ya go
thank you so much! worked like a charm. i really appreciate the help. i made sure to save the rom files to my computer as well as performing a nandroid backup to prevent this from happening again. also, i was wondering if theres a stable ICS rom compatible for my phone yet. i searched around for it, but i dont trust my judgement.
If not ICS, what is a good souped-up fast custom ROM?
Can't go wrong with calk's E4GT EL29 ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

do not flash any of the e4gt roms. even though our phones are similar, they're not an exact match. don't do it.
So then what custom roms CAN i flash?

Ones that are made for your phone, obviously. Not gonna find them here though. Your phone is new and on a smaller carrier so development is going to be slow. I'm sure if you give it some time there will be a few ROMs that pop up. Just enjoy the stock ROM for now- root it, debloat it, toss some tethering into the mix. You'll be fine.
That link I put up has all the custom stuff I could find for your phone. Mainly CM7, CM9, Miui and AOKP.

Thanks again guys. Sorry Root i didnt realize that was on that thread i shouldve read the whole thing. Im good for the time being. Metalhead ive done all that so far rooted, debloated tether installed, and minor build.prop tweaks. I appreciate all the responses!
So it would seem that my gps doesnt work now. Any suggestions? Maybe an update/zip that ibcan flash via cwm?
CM 11
I have an sch-r760 on Alltel. I am running dastin1015's Villuminati CM 11 for the D-710. It is running flawlessly. I have voice/text/mms/data all working.
Any D710 ROM will work

[Q] Flashing of any JB ROM fails

Hey wonderful people of XDA,
I picked up an S3 yesterday and rooted it no problem. I can install ICS roms fine, but CWM errors out when trying to flash a JB rom (I have included a pic to show exactly what I mean)
It is a Telus S3, but from what I've experienced before with rooting, AT&T should work as well. However, correct me if I am wrong.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Read that. It talks about error 7, although they said they fixed it. The first time I tried to flash AOKP that happened and I just rewiped everything and tried again and it worked.
Thank you! I'll check it out
I had same problem I just updates to 5.8.4.7 and it worked fine, make sure to fully wipe

[Q] Where's this Phone At?

Ok so I just got this D710 Epic 4G touch. With some of the info I have read I'm guessing that it's kinda easy to brick these if you use the wrong method to flash a rom if it's before the source release & I'm not sure about where this phone is at. It has the Leaked(FF02) ICS Rom & Stock Recovery on it. I am not sure when this was released.
What I want to do is put phone on a good stable stock rom that everything works to get a good base & nandroid backup. Then I want to go to a good stable ICS or JB rom for my daily driver. Can I just Odin a OTA Stock Debloated Rooted Rom back it up then go from there?
Right now this phone's radio will turn off for a few seconds at times. This morning my phone rang so I answered it that's when the phone's radio turned off so that made me hang up on a Customer when I answered the Phone=NOT GOOD
I want/need something that fully works. Like the GPS works & the radio don't turn off n all that jazz.

A daily driver stock JB ROM will be leaked at some point today. Rooted versions also in the works. Keep an eye out for FK23 threads.
Also the radio problem looks like the eg30 radio. There was massive loss of signal on that one. Try something more updated. Like fi27 modem.

Thanks
:good: Alright thank you guys.
So I can flash what ever rom I want using the one click odin method? Like this Stock rooted rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
I personally would look for fI27 but yes. And one click is always recommend if your not 100 percent sure of what your doing.

d710 icsFL24 stuck in bootloop after installing agat recovery

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

ROMs with S-Pen gimmicks?

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for custom ROMs that have all the dumb little S-Pen gimmicks. Or would I be better off just re-flashing stock? SM-N975F
I stay stock and no higher than Android 10.
Once you have firmware that runs well and is stable... leave it be.

Thanks! I was thinking of going this route anyways. Tried 12 on it, not a huge fan. :/ Where do you get your stock ROMs from?

It just what was loaded on the phone when bought. One is Android 9, the newest N10+ is running on 10. Both are running well so I leave the firmware be.

Lol, I know it sounds so boring. Not like I loaded 20 different roms until I found the perfect one
The current load on this phone will be 2 yo in June with minimal maintenance. No malware breaches in that time span.
However it's setup is optimized and workarounds for any problems have been found.
I use a package disabler, Karma Firewall, Brave browser and this DNS setting.
