After positive reviews on my KK4 Easy Root Utility I decided to tackle another problem that seems to plague some new users.
I've seen an increase in people who have gotten themselves stuck in a bootloop or can't seem to get the combo right to get into download mode.
Assumptions:
You have the proper drivers installed
Your phone is recognized by your PC
Instructions
Power Phone off
Extract this folder to your computer
Run batch file for Download or Recovery Mode
Plug phone into computer
Power phone on
Phone should be detected and go into the proper mode
Nice utility !! Should prove to be very helpful !
Appreciate ur continued work on here to help others out.

Great to see new development for this phone, still. Its amazing actually. Thanks for you hard work!
You've done it again! Great work. Here's another problem if you like solving them. Port the code over to an .sh for our Linux users...

I kinda want to get into developing, but I don't know where to start or how to start. I want to make a personal one until I get some knowledge in case something makes a booboo. Also kinda looking to make a kernal.

Ok man, if I were you I would play around with a linux box to get to know linux commands, then I would play with modding the kernel on that linux computer. I recommend this so you don't build a rom with a how to and. Then put it on your phone and end up with a brick.

In the near future I'm going to buy a new hard drive for my desktop computer and will install windows 7 and linux(Ubuntu the newest version) so I can duel boot. Is there a suggested linux OS?
Now before you ask "why do you need a new hard drive?" Well that is because somehow I lost it, dont ask me how ha.
I shall try my best to learn!
Can't start until I replace my mobo; but should be done within the next week and a half

Sorry... I searched and tried a few methods but failed. I used root explorer and astro to edit it but the edits never stick. I have it at r/w on root explorer but still dont stick. Do I need another program? If possible I cant use a PC, so please advice strictly on tje phone with a pc.

Notepad++ on the pc side,but I havnt tried modding on my phone,let me look for a better answer.
Try this,use root explorer to make a copy,pste in to the root of your sdcard,modify there,then copy/cut back into place.

This thread is for discussing all themes, mods and rom's made by Android Anonymous.
Our rom was not locked due to safety issues. It is perfectly fine to.flash.
I never accepted donations... I don't do it for money... and it is a pain to find and put all of that together with no issues manually if someone didn't put it in a 'rom'. There are alot if other rom development that do the same thing. I didn't bring any 'wonders' to the epic. People like the people you listed. I didn't know the kernel was part of a payed rom and neither did b-reezy. Someone else (unnamed) sent us a link to the rom without informing us it was donate ware. On a side fact, requiring money of a firmware based on a free os by Samsung and Google without proper permission would be illigal and since it is just a modified Samsung kernel without permissions to require money for the rom that contains it, it is technically free. But it wasnt do to anything about being donate-ware, it was due to with it cantaining a part of bonsai. Stop spamming the thread with this crap. I won't switch to a different kernel until ext4 is made by someone other than bonsai... Hopefully that clarifies it all.

I have some sort of glitch going on here. All of a sudden my touchscreen became totally unresponsive when the keyboard is closed. I flashed my nandroid backup and its still not working. Is there possibly some button I could have accidently hit while my phone was in my pocket that disables touchscreen?

Short story, they still need a custom pit for mapping. And its would still be a serious challenge for the epic atm.

All source does is make it easier for the devs...they can do without source, but they'd have to write evrything from the ground up, which, funnily enough, should've been done by now if the cm devs didn't keep falling back on the sauceline.
But its completely understandable. Its like when I used to play pokemon yellow. I've gone through mt.moon numerous times without flash, but flash makes it A LOT A LOT A LOT easier,so I go and get it.

FYI we need a donor device to get UnBrickable Mod onto Epic.
I thought I found someone but haven't heard back from them in a while.
BTW, "donor device" means a device which will have it's CPU (destructively) removed to find the correct pins and do the mapping.
See here for more info.
Keep an ear out for any dead / bricked Epics that someone might want to donate to the cause.

This site gives pretty nice instructions on how to make the build yourself
I would make it, but I don't have a large enough hard drive
Right now it's slow and in early alpha, Hardware Acceleration doesn't work as of now.
So until someone can dump the IMG files, this is how it's done.

A friend of mine is right now for the 4G. Let's see how this works..
the result file should be .img files that have to be flashed via fastboot.
So everything will be erased, recoveries, ROM's and your SDCARD/eMMC
Does it wipe SD card?

He did say sdcard, so yeah.... it will be the same as when you rooted your phone for the first time. Same system.

My friend is currently trying to get a version that we can flash, because normally it just transfers straight from adb. He has to fix permissions and symlinks of the dump. Hopefully if everything goes right we should have a build by tonight
I would really appreciate this, been wanting to try it out, but don't have a PC running linux now.
Interesting. If I get time I might setup Ubuntu in Virtual Box and give it a try.
I'm so trying this when it's fully functional, even if I have to wait a long time.
Whoever is in charge of the UI is great at what they do, it's really nice looking. Especially the dialer.
Wow , I find this thread now ... I feel stupid for posting my thread now .. Alright Everything is Done , but one question ... If I flash this will clockworkmod go away, or anything from my memory ? like all my music and etc ... Just need to get things clear

what happened to the thread you posted with the precompiled zip?? I was able to pull it up on google cache, but it's deleted from XDA for some reason.
was there an issue with the build that caused it to get pulled?? I'd like to try it out since I've already got your zip.
