Are you on zvc or zvc? Do you have a custom recovery?

I am not sure what the zvc is, but I installed TWRP manager, Titanium Back up ans SuperSU. But I have no clue how to set any of those up

Okay, you are most likely still stock kernel with recovery installed. Rooted no problem.
Recovery will break knock code unless you flash another kernel that has it.
Before doing anything, know that nobody really has a custom zvd Rom out right now. Artifesto put out a stock version.
You can easily go back to zvc which you lose knock code, art, and hd calling.
Super g2 Rom is fantastic and you can even go with their full Rom or bare back ( slimmed version)
To get recovery which will put a older kernel on it. Easiest way is to use auto-rec from

This gets recovery running and fixes download mode. (Vital if something bad happens)
Please ask anything before doing something if not sure.

The only thing I am really wanting to do is bypass the wifi hotspot on the phone since Sprint has a block on it. Wasn't sure, I thought I read somewhere that there is a modication I can install to do that, but I didn't want to do it without talking with you first. Am I right there is one that would just be put the zip file on the phone? Then there were other steps but that is really what I am trying to get done so I can use it as a WIFI hotspot to pair with my tablet.
Yes it is included with super g2

It works great just tried it. Have you installed TWRP and what revision.

I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.
Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.
I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.
I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.
I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.
Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.
That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.

You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone
Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.
I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.

This is the E4GT forum. You need to head over to the S4 forum, specifically the OP for Hyperdrive.

Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

Where you running a different ROM before 4.3 rooted? Rebooting can be caused by several things like dirty flashing or not wiping correctly.

The only true way to fix this is to learn to pull a logcat. Then get the dev to see if he can figure out what's going on. Since its a rebooting issue, logcat apps are useless. You have to use ADB from a computer, and issue commands so the computer will record logcats throughout the rebooting process. I would try a clean wipe, fresh install 1st.

If it's a custom Rom it's already rooted (obviously). Check the build version in your settings.

yeah i can't get into TWRP, or the other one. it keeps giving me dude with red !. version is jz054k.
I did a full wipe and install of an origonal build of the software, was able to root it sucesfully now. but still can't get into the bootloader menu. tried cammand line to tell it to boot into it, tried rom manager. no dice. just keep getting little dude. i remember seeing a thread about him, i don't know what he means :\
The bootloader on these phones are locked. You are able to install the custom recovery only because Freegee can bypass the bootloader.

yeah i got around it and managed to do it. didnt much like the rom, know any clean roms that are more stock like? i really didnt mind stock. but i want 4.4 or better than stock.
Honestly, your best option is to wait for the kitkat update to hit in a month or so. You get what you're looking for in one stock update. Hassle free. That's what I'm doing. The more I learn about this phone, the more I am hesitant to flash anything to it. Mostly because there are so many variants for this phone. Everything can't be compatible so why risk it.

Read the whole thing then you'll be ready to go
Its the kitkat Korean update, I'm using it on my e980 , pretty sweet
yeah i agree, i havn't found many rom's i like. ive found roms always fail after awhile. so idk. they always bloat up and start to fail than they need the update to be stable blah blah than your reinstalling all apps and backing **** up. idk, was just looking at what phones offer these days for modding but nothing seems to of changed. this phone inparticular is a rather unstable device none stock, seems to be allota issues and a good reason to have bootloader locked.
Un locking the bootloader only allows for custom kernels on any given device. In some cases you will get greater stability. But for the most part you will still have glitches, performance decreases, etc. because you are STILL flashing custom Roms. And in allot of cases your phone will go completely nuts because custom kernels have their glitches too. So in short, sometimes, Custom Rom=glitches. custom kernel=glitches. That all adds up to a totally unstable Rom. Keep in mind all devices are not the same. What runs great on his might crash your phone completely. Just my 2 cents....lol
I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.
After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.
Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.
If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.
I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.
No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?

Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.

How can I backup my stock att kk rom?
So last week my note started to receive the networksystemprovider error and the only way I can get it to stop popping up every 5 seconds is to freeze it, but then I cannot receive any text. So I was hoping to just update the phone but it has been so long since I did anything to it I am very confused on how.

This is what my phone is currently running and I do have TRWP installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk
What are you currently running? Stock rooted OG5 with initial release of Beastmode?
You should remove ItsOn if running custom kernel- unless you know how to remove it. I've seen ItsOn try to repeatedly to activate itself- but can't with custom kernel. It prompts or forces reboots with no end after the user factory resets in recovery when leaving fragments of ItsOn in internal memory.
I don't know what you want to do but there's many choices:
If you're looking for customization on lollipop, checkout Moar 2.1b One day marshmallow will have a ported ROM of this caliber or better.
If you're looking for stability and maybe something a bit faster, try a marshmallow custom ROM.
Just a couple of examples. Find a ROM and follow the OP install instructions closely. That most likely means using the stock tar flash in Odin to update to suggested update and turning off automatic updates before the update nag starts. But don't go back any farther than OG5 with Odin; the bootloader won't allow the older stock tars to flash.
I was actually to go to stock marshmallow but with root like I have know. I have never been really into trying all the different roms I just want to have root for the Hotspot. I tried to look through the thread but I just get more confused.

Which thread is confusing? Hotspot, update and root (aka stock tar thread in general forum) or custom ROM threads?
Which hotspot method are you using or prefer? I believe the non root method requires a do over on each boot. Don't use much at all but I prefer permanent myself for the other benefits custom services.jar provides.
That network error is caused by ItsOn not being fully removed and the custom kernel not supporting it. If you use stock kernel, you could leave ItsOn intact but some consider it a privacy and battery liability: unneeded bloat and potentially problematic.
