My first post here.. I have a Sprint Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch that I received a few weeks ago as a work phone. I've gone through the update to ICS, then, using this forum, have now gone back to GB EL29.. I used the process described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
to restore GB and to root my phone. All that went very well.
Now for my next step in the world of rooting.. now that I'm rooted, what can I do? I dont think I installed the CWM during this process, so not sure what that is/does and how to install it.
My primary goal for doing this is as follows:
1) be able to remove bloatware from my phone
2) be able to access/install apps that are not available through GooglePlay
Can this be done with what I've done so far (only rooted the phone), or do I need to install CWM or other programs.
Thanks for all the help...

You can do number 2 even without rooting. You can install every apk you with on your phone. Just tick the option "allow unknown sources" in the settings.
For question number 1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549
If you had been reading and following the rules there would have been any reason to open this thread.
Your first post here, and you posted in the wrong device forum. You're currently posted in the I9100 Galaxy SII forum. You have an Epic 4G Touch. That device has a separate forum. Though Schindler33 meant well above, I advise you NOT to follow any of the directions or flash any firmwares/ROMs/kernels found in his link... since all of those links are to things meant for the I9100.
I find this somewhat ironic, since your own link above is to a post in the correct forum for your device.

I was looking under this section http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and didn't see an Epic 4G Touch section, thus my reason for posting in this section. But thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll head over there now. I appreciate the feedback for a new user..
later..

I have Froyo on a non rooted nexus is here a way to unlock and root it it I have been trying but it will not recognize the bootloader. please help .
Thank You
You can unlock it using fastboot, just like you could in 2.1, as far as I know.
From there, flash a different recovery, then use something like this quick rooter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
First of all, wrong forum.
Second of all, you're smart enough to figure out how to put an official firmware that's not released yet on your phone. So please use the search or read the forum stickies.

First of all I did not asked to be flamed just needing help If I made a mistake I am sorry but I thought this was a friendly helpful community or are you the bad apple ?
If you read the forum more, you'll find threads similar to this one, if you don't search no one will help you, especially for this very easy question you're asking.
1. Click on the Nexus One Q&A sub forum, that forum is for asking questions and getting answers.
2. There's a sticky, 3rd one down, it's titled "***Informative Links*** - Read before clicking "New Thread"". Click that, you should get to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618768
3. Right there on top, 2nd link is "Root the Nexus one Tutorial" with the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858 Click it.
4. Follow to the directions. If you have issues, ask in that thread.
Helpful enough? LOL

ty very much
Ok, first off i'll say i don't have much android knowledge. I did successfully root it following a video. I now have one click lag fix installed. Now, someone please answer these for me
1. Now that its already rooted successfully, is bricking still possible? or is that only something that happens during trying to root.
2. What is a good way to backup everything on my phone? and where do i find it?
3. What are cool apps or widgets to have that can only be used on a rooted phone?
4. Lastly, will someone point me in the direction of a manual or instructions on how to install custom roms and how to get froyo.
Thanks!!
No offense, but did you try searching the forums prior to posting this? All of these questions have been asked and answered many, many times already.
yeah but id really like them answered how i asked them that way i don't **** my phone up because i don't have the most knowledge, i appreciate it though. If you don't mind would you provide some links for me please?
Look at the sticky on the top of the page.
The sticky literally answers your questions in that order. No joke.
And the Dev section has a similar sticky in it when you are good and ready.

All your questions can be answered in the tips and tricks sticky.
Well now that was just the stupidest thing I have done in a while....I am sure you will agree.
I just used ODIN to roll back to what I thought was going to be GT1.0 US Retail WIFI but what I DID was apply the European .tar by accident.
My once P7510UEKF3 is now a GT-P7500XXKFF. It's a locked tab and CWR is now gone. ODIN seems to be connecting.
....any chance for recovery or did I just loose it???
Two things
1) check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 thread to get the ODIN version of CWM and flash it
2) This does not belong in the Dev section
1) Thank you.
2) Understood (now). Thank you, I will ensure question go to their proper location. My bad.

CWR = restored
Root = restored
Model & Build = restored
3.1 OTA ROM = restored
It was bootlooping after that so I just clear the cache/Dalvik and wipe.
Success! Thanks for that...after searching and weaving through way too many threads it ended up being a simple process I just wan't started correctly (aka the ODIN friendly CWR file.
Whew!!!

I would strongly disagree, I do think this belongs in the Dev section; I sure as hell wouldn't post this in the general section, I would want the advice or input of other people who are actually hacking their tabs...i.e., developers. Really tired of development or hacking-related (appropriate) questions being moved to the "general question" section. That section is for just that - general or basic questions, like how do I adjust this setting or that setting, or how do you think this screen compares with that other model's screen, etc, etc. I can say that once one gets past the people who have to get the "this doesn't belong in this section" comments out of their system, there is always a MUCH greater chance of having the best parties see and offer advice on the given problem in this area than in the general section.

It actually belongs in the q&a section hence the q in the title. The link I gave in that post does exactly what your asking. There is instructions to do most things you want on the tablet, but the point is to ask questions in there so the OP can grow as the community grows. That link is also a sticky in the dev thread.

I am aware what the guide says, and apparently you've missed the point - I am quite simply stating that I disagree with the "rules" as they currently stand, which I have the right to do, and in my opinion I believe I have a logical point. I mean honestly answer this - if I have a question for specifically for advanced users (aka i.e., developers), where would I have a better chance of having it seen by such users: in the general section (which is frequented by more novice users) or in the developer section?

With all due respect, if you don't like the rules this is not the place to complain about them.
Take it up with a forum administrator.

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to General
Hello all, I come from the sgh-t959 forums. I just purchased an S4 (rogers variant) about an hour ago, and now I'm eager to learn what fun stuff I can do with this. So I have a few questions to ask you to feel more comfortable with this phone .
Are different roms worth putting on? I only cm on my old phone because stock was 2.3.6, this bad boy runs 4.3.
I found the root procedure for my phone, will it the procedure work on the new firmware? (Link below to the procedure I'm referring to)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 = link to the auto root thread I was talking to above
Is there any fun tweak's I should be aware of to put on it?
Any apps that are most have on it?
Can't wait to get this baby to the latest android.
Any links or information related to my phone model are much appreciated, because theirs so much to sort through.
So yeah, hello Samsung S4 section of XDA, I hope I'll get along with you all.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am a noob here until further notice
You need to read the "pinned" threads in the 'general" and "Q&A" sections before you do anything. Almost all questions about the S4 have already been asked and most of the answers can be found in those threads or through the threads linked in them. The search function will also be useful. Make sure you follow the XDA rules and search before asking. Above all, remember, this is a development site. It is up to you to search read and learn about your device before you do anything to it. If you follow these suggestions, you should do just fine. Good luck.
Ahhh perfect, can you delete your post so I can delete this thread?
Edit: MODZZZ delete my noobish thread please/

First off, questions go in Q&A, and will be marked with a [Q] before the title.
Secondly, you didn't provide what version of Android you were running.
I'm guessing here, but you may be running the leaked 4.4 Samsung ROM, if so, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
If not, then I have no idea.
So far you have created 3 threads for this request:
RULE 5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
I created one thread but it was in the wrong place. Someone told me to put it in the right place. Since I can't move threads I had to create a new one. I didn't realize the original guide was one this forum until later.
