[Q] Sprint Epic 4G Touch (NY,USA) Baseband

My rooting went horribly wrong.
I admit, I rushed it, was sleep deprived, and inpatient.
Right now, my phone looks very much like stock BUT
My issue is: I have no provider set on my phone. In other words, its as if my phone is unable to connect to Sprint's network.

When I try to update the PRL from system updates, below is the result...
I used some combination of the following files:
SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse
S2Root_1.4.3_Release
Litening_Rom_v6-1.rar
acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar
EG30-Stock-OdexV2.zip
Stock-EG30.tar
Also tried calling sprint customer support...no help
At this point, what would be the fastest way to get my phone into a state in which it is once again recognized by Sprint

I don't think a prl update will populate the baseband version.
Have you tried starting over by flashing Stock-EG30.tar ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282420 ) and then doing a factory reset?
After that, update both your profile and prl.
By the way...
some of the files you listed appear to be for the i9100. Despite the similar naming convention, the Epic Touch (D710) is different from the i9100 and cannot directly re-use i9100 roms, kernels, etc.

which rom should i be using?

Um, you realize that the superclick instructions you followed are intended for international SGS2 users, not Epic Touch?

oops. still, one of u guys must be able to figure this out. I've been working on it a lot, first day with the droid, was trying to root my GF's phone and I pooped her new toy. I was all confident cause I knew how to JB iphones. I've got a sprint ticket to get it fixed.
By the way, in doing so I obtained my MSL...

I'm thinking you hosed your modem. The first three things you mentioned in the list you tried are, as was pointed out, for the International version. By flashing these you've put the wrong radio into your phone.
This thread has a link to a modem.bin download.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17617227
Search the Dev thread (sorry, on my phone so I can't come up with the link) on how to flash it. Once you do that, flash "stock kernel pulled from unrooted phone" (you'll see a link to it in the thread I just gave you). Then I think you'll be ok.
And, even though it's the same basic phone, ONLY flash stuff you find in this forum.
.....

Why are all these people flashing things from another phone? Thyself like the first rule of flashing. Flash the eg30 tar and then the eg30 modem.bin for your baseband. Thy should fix it. Good luck.

Thank you kindly! Everything works
I used Odin to send over the modem.bin

Note to self: Do NOT flash my Epic 4G Touch using international versions of firmware...

Original Rogers ROM

I want to return the phone to get a new one, but obviously I'm unable to due to rooting and installing a custom ROM, is there a way to get the original rogers ROM back so it will be unnoticeable that I've changed the ROM? If not what other options do I have?
Thanks in advanced , any advice is appreiciated.

You can find the stock firmware here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I747M&pcode=RWC&os=1&type=1#firmware
Also you might want Google around for "resetting the flash counter". If the flash counter is incremented it voids the warranty.

Thanks for the response. Do I install the stock ROM the same way as I did the custom one?

use odin to install stock rom...

Sorry, I'm not too familiar with phones. Can anyone post a link or step by step how to use Odin to flash it back to the original ROM? The only time I used Odin was to root my phone. Thanks in advance

Another thing you could do is if you had insurance just smash the phone like I did give them the 100 bucks and get a brand new phone! Rogers is so easy to manipulate

Thanks for all the replies, I was able to unroot and return everything back to the stock ROM, now to the Rogers store!

[Q] Could i send my s4 back to samsung?

so i recently started having wifi issues with a few roms. i flashed back to stock with odin, and my wifi wouldnt turn back on. i made 2 threads about this issue in Q & A, and they were left without help (i provided info for people but they never responded)
i searched the forum, and found how to un-root my phone. on the first try, my wifi actually tuurned on for about 2 minutes, but then it went back to not turning on, and all the info on the phone said custom. i finally got everything to say samsung official, official, and all that.
so should i send it back for samsung to fix? and would they fix it, if they find everything on official? i had to resort back to my old iphone 3g which is a drag and i want to use my wifi on my s4 again...
BTW, everything else on the phone works except bluetooth, and i used the method in this thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392

If everything is saying "Official" there's no need to be worry! :cyclops:
I don't know what could it be...

Yes, send it back. It's probably a hardware issue.

Samsung openly admitted that this was a problem. There are ways to fix your issue u just have to look for it I forgot where. But I'm about to give my phone back ad well this is ridiculous

Regarding returning your device, making sure everything is returned to stock is very important as you mentioned.
After you're done restoring your device to outta box set up with ODIN by installing the Samsung Stock Firmware tar, you want to remember to check the following:
- use Triangle Away by Chainfire to reset the bootloader to 0
The above has to be completed while you're still Rooted and you need the stock Kernel.
Read the TA thread so you know exactly what to do, if you didn't already.
After using Triangle Away, make sure everything is set tosstock.
In addition, TA doesn't change the Modified/Custom description in About deviceiin Settings. Only ODINing to Stock will.
- ODIN to stock
- check the Bootloader to make sure it doesn't say Custom and is set to 0 (mentioned above)
- boot into Recovery and make sure it's the stock recovery.
- check Device settings, About device and make sure it doesn't say Modified or Custom
If all the above checks out, you should be good to go
The above is a little checklist so that Samsung doesn't deny servicing your device and void your warranty

Thank you guys for all your feedback.
I just called t-mobile, and they said its a hardware issue, which i already kinda figured out. They are sending me a brand new s4, but i have to send my current s4 back to samsung. Like you guys said, it should be fine if everything says official, samsung official, etc., right? i also used triangle away to make sure the counter was at 0, or however it is supposed to be stock, and also did a factory reset again
Thank you, guys!

Go over the checklist again for good measure

If you used triangle away properly, and everything says stock,you should be good to go.

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.

Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.

Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.

Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?

Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.

*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!

Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?

Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.

Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/

Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.

Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?

Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.

As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.

hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?

Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...

Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

Using odin will not restore your imei you have to use qpst

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

Stock Rom Stripped of Bloatware from Samsung Repair Center

I recently got my S6 back from Samsung. They untripped knox, and installed a very slim rom without any of the sprint bloatware, and no sprint splash screen. Is there some way I can back up this rom to be able to flash it in odin if/when I need to?
Thanks!

TWRP

You can back up everything if you flash TWRP recovery and select the backup option it comes in hand but other than that i dont believe you can do it without tripping Knox again

Thanks for the reply, that's unfortunate news. I really don't feel like tripping Knox since I would like samsung pay to continue working.

You can try ADB Backup. A good set of instructions can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
No guarantee that this will work, but it should not trip Knox.

Please post a system dump of this b3fore you do anything. PLEASE

Is it oi1 build ? Ive sent plenty phones back for warranty and samsung never did that before . Trip knox , so what? Samsung warrantys phones like that all the time . Just tell them you took it to the samsung experience shop at "BestBuy" and they tried to flash the operating system to get the phone working properly again. Id tell them it kept rebooting after you updated it through wifi to 5.1.1 . Youll never have an issue with them if you explain it to them that way . Give us a new build lol
