Galaxy S 4G

I'm trying to figure out why T-Mobiles galaxy s 4g had froyo and why Samsung can't get it to the other galaxy s phones when they are all essentially the same phone hardware wise and software wise
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

CDMA vs GSM. They have had no problems pushing froyo to their GSM phones across the world. For some reason in the US and especially the CDMA carriers, they cant seem to get it ported correctly.

Makes no sense but I guess that's what rooting is for who's what I'm going g to do when I have a decent computer at my disposal

call samsung and ask... no seriously just install EB13.. you do not have to be rooted to install it.. and bam.. froyooooooooo

Oh I know. I'm waiting for my brother to send me eb13 had it but I dropped my phone and broke it in half so I got my replacement and am back on 2.1 I saw someone post the update somewhere on here nd can't remember where it was posted haha

Samsung has had issues with more than just the Galaxy S phones. They had to stop pushing out the "pre-update" to the Win Phone 7 Samsung devices and they are GSM. Samsung seems to have a problem in general with being able to be consistent.

root avalible for stratoshpere?

sorry if this is a dumb question but ive been looking around and cant seem to find an answer, i know it JUST came out but since it was similar to an epic i was wondering if there was a root for it yet, or if the epics methods would work. I know its running gingerbread but im just curious
sorry for being stupid ~_~

I don't believe you will find anyone here on Verizon. You will be better off Googling it or wait for XDA to make a Stratosphere forum.

I would guess that you will need a pre-rooted Odin tar or something as I thought that all the one-clicks were made useless by Gingerbread.

I thought gingerbreak?

Ah, but you see, only 2.3.4 was affected. 2.3.3 can be rooted easily with one click. @op What are you running?

I think I'm boned its 2.3.5

If they take the time to look at the source but without actually having the phone to test it is time consuming. Just wait a week and you will have your own forum and Devs.

I'll be watching for this too since my friend just bought one too. i was jealous of his 13Mb/5Mb speed test on LTE at work a few blocks out of grand rapids, MI sprint WiMAX territory...

Sucks to suck

I don't think they'll get their own forums. Most likely a sub forum in ours...if the nexus s is anything to show, that is

They will get their own forum, I am sure. Nexus has one, Epic Touch has one. They are Verizon and not exactly the same phone.

You seem like a decent guy but, first the guy that took the time to answer your post is one of the biggest names and best developers here currently.
Second, what the devs do is way beyond 'hacks'. This is open source software which is basically rebuilding the os from the ground up.
In any case and as he said you have a mesmerize . So just flash mez builds. I would recommend glitched AOKP personally.

Im very aware that these are more than hacks. I currently have a d3 rooted and with rom and started with a d1. I'm sorry I didn't try to offended anyone by saying hacks. I was just trying to find out if I could help my friend root and rom his us cellular mez ( which at the time I was uaware that was its proper name sorry). Thanks for your reply though, now that I know what forum to look in I'll go there

[Wanted] Bricked Sprint Epic 4G

Hey everyone, for various reasons I'm looking for a bricked Sprint Epic 4G to buy. If you have one I'll cover shipping and take it off your hands. I'm on a bit of a time deadline. I know this might be a strange request but hey, I've never claimed to be normal
Thanks in Advance.

I'm selling a working one. I could probably hit it with a hammer or install I OS 6 on it or something

Is something like that even possible
Compatibility with 2 different processors?

nope not possible, but this thread is asking for a bricked phone.

Is flashing that the best way to brick an Epic 4g? Off the top of my head I cant think of a way to brick it on purpose unless I did something stupid like try to install iOS

A fully bricked Epic certainly is a rare occurrence in the wild... I only remember hearing about issues with that one twilight kernel in the froyo days, and some mention of a bonsai beta (the sad thing about the bonsai incident was that those users had to pay to get that brick-maker...)

Hey I have a working phone. Extra phone and replaced the screen myself, an Epic 4G. Planning to sell it. I want to sell it

if its not compatible i dont think odin would even install it would it and even then you still have odin to fix it unless you manage to wipe out the recovery... did you manage to find a bricked epic i am just curious...

Galaxy S III 4.2.1 Port for our Note II

Hi there Fellow N7100 Note II Users
Since theres no rom this thread will be in general
I'm trying to port the 4.2.1 from SGS III
About the SDS you don't need to worry I'm using a secure kernel
but if your interested in help porting you can PM me!
So whats the progress?
So far it boots to the boot screen and there it stops.
i figured out i've missed some few things so i'll be fixing those later!
Once again if your interested in help porting give your time to reply and tell me what you can do :angel:
Best Regards LSD
EDIT: attached SGS III boot.img (http://www.mediafire.com/edit/?1nc7vr5ln6uy2hk)
EDIT: attached SGNII boot.img http://www.mediafire.com/?me2emfnsn0mgqd0
Also heres 3 "unpacked boot images"
Boot_NII is obviously extracted files from our Note II
Boot_SGSIII is obviously from leaked SGS III kernel
BOOT-EXTRACTED is from My Modified NII Kernel
i'm sure i've forgotten something but yet i'm not sure must read logcat more closely !

I am in.

Great to see that someone is interested int his aswell
heres a logcat when it was booting into boot screen http://www.mediafire.com/edit/?1nc7vr5ln6uy2hk
some changes was made in samsung boot.img
but that didn't seem to make it, maybe i need a kernel which works with JellyBean 4.2?
Hmm seems like i used old kernel instead of using the modified kernel. maybe thats why it didn't boot so far .

Did any of the custom kernels needed to be modified to work under 4.2.1?
It is saying access denied, maybe upload it to pastebin or as a file?
Btw got it working by removing edit from the link
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

But why? Official 4.2.2 is coming in 2 weeks from Samsung.

2.months back, the was an idiot who flashed omega for s3, based on 4.2.1 on the note 2 and guess what, it booted. Just no bluetooth and too much lag.

You are actually right. We won't feel much of a difference. It is too big a project. Samsung will release 4.2.2 sooner or later so there is no point. But i am idle due to summer holidays so nothing bad in challenging myself.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Yeah, but it should have at least one or two pros at least to be worthy of such an effort? Because essentially 4.2.1 on N2 is much more feature rich than S3, from what I gather. And you'd miss out on some N2 features as well.

I would like to test the rom if you are after testers when you have something working ^_^

Blast i thanked you for no reason.
The main features are spen and some note apps which I may not use at all. That's not a big problem.

well i modified bootclasspath but it seems to be something else that might be missing, maybe wrong permissions etc, or lack of files. can't really say now i'm trying to make it boot but seems like i've missed something in boot image or i've missed some files sadly when i used some other files it didn't go past the samsung galaxy note II splash screen. but i'll look into it. i think its kernel related, and yet i can't fix that now since i got to restore my phone so i can make my flashable zip tested. or i can but i need to take my time for that.
i neither don't know if anything have changed in 4.1>4.2 if there's something thats need to be added but i think it shouldn't be any big problem

Guys... the developer probably know there is a 4.2.2 coming. With all my respect for you, please do not repeat it again.
To the developer, keep it up! It would be very happy to test out some 4.2 a week befour everybody else!

I'll be trying to make it boot now again,
if it doesn't boot this time i'll go out and being mad when i smoke up my cigarette, after that i'll continue to try to make it boot :good:
if it was daylight i would go out each time it doesn't boot but i don't have the energy for that atm
bad news guys it seems like i have ***** up my adb (or phone) it doesn't recognize my device don't know the reason neither.
i can't do anything until i fix adb since my phone is only reliable on OS X.
