For those holding out on root & awaiting "Official 2.2 OTA", DON'T!! -> read w/in ->>
When I got my Evo, I wanted to wait for the official Sprint ROM/OTA upgrades because I wanted to keep my phone stock. I didn't want root to affect my phone's ability to OTA upgrade and get the latest and greatest from Sprint.
After many advice from others, I decided to root. This is where you will see the repeating theme - "I rooted and loaded a ROM and have never looked back", or "I rooted and upgraded the ROM from the dev section and have never been happier". I certainly agree.
The fact is, when (now IF) the official 2.2 comes out, you will get the EXACT OTA content here just as quickly (probably faster) and be able to flash to that if you wish. Most likely, at that time, you will want an enhanced version such as deodexed. It is not worth holding out on root just because you want the OTA.
With root, you are opening new options such as forcing the phone to roam only, make real/full backups, modify your phone both visually and functionally, and so much more. After root, battery life can certainly be improved by tweaking your phone (remove bloatware, keep unwanted services from starting, etc.)
When I got my Epic, I rooted immediately. I have been running DK28 since it dropped and enjoying what 2.2 has to offer. If/when the official comes out, I will upgrade. There is simply no risk of missing out.
So for you who are on the line, I encourge you to root and move forward. You will have a new world of options and enjoy your phone so much more.
Cheers.

It's true, and we're not that far from seeing a true Gingerbread port too.

Not to mention, with Odin, this phone is extremely hard to FUBAR and very easy to revert back to stock if needed. One click root makes the rooting process brainless...
I was in the same boat a few months ago. I viewed "rooting" as a hack or purposely "damaging" the phone. Eventually, I caved in; everything is hindsight from that point. Now, I will NEVER use a stock ROM again. Having access to the system allows me to take control of the device that I OWN; not Sprint or Samsung. If I don't want and application on the phone, I simply remove it. If I want to change the appearance, I install a theme.
Honestly, if you own an Epic, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't root the phone. Heck, I'm not even using 2.2 for the lack of a stable GPS lock...

I agree with most of this. But from my point of view, I don't even use it for the control, I use it cause it works better. Oh, and the themes. I just hope the devs and themers stick around a while, cause I have this phone for another 20 months :/

new devs and themers will come along. the cdma touch pro 2 is approching 18 months in age and when i stop by that forum, its just as busy as ever, and i dont even recognize the names of roms people are talking about, because the chefs that were cooking when i was rocking that have moved along, but new ones are stepping up in their place.

Installed TrulyEpic 1.2 last night in just a few minutes. No problems at all. GPS is fantastic (I thought it was working before, but now - ) Is it just me, or does the stock ROM limit the display brightness? I think it actually LOOKS better but YMMV.
It's comforting to know that I now have a phone that will probably never be truly obsolete for the next couple years as long as there are ROM builders out there.

but i tried to root using the one click and recovery and had issues it would tell me permission denied at the end after it reboooted, i used z4 to root and it worked fine, tried to use it again and still same thing, then installed rom manager and then try clockwork, nogo. so i took it all off and will jsut deal with it when it comes ota

I'd agree with you, except that I've had all kinds of issues rooting my Epic, ranging from USB drivers that fail to install, various one click root scripts that error out, a cruddy usb cable from Samsung, and an inability to get Odin to even look at my phone crosseyed.
I'm not brainless ... but nothing about rooting and flashing my phone has been straightforward. After wasting hours wading through (volunteer-written, open source, karmically-blessed) inconsistent instructions, I've lost patience. I just want an official, OTA copy of Froyo that isn't going to brick my phone or waste my time.

I've never had this problem. There must be something wrong and it isn't the one click. Could be your USB cable. Make sure your phone is in debugging mode. The OP is 100% right. Why use any stock ROM? If we do ever get the OTA, our devs will make it better and in about 100 different flavors.

I have been holding out but even my patience is tested...
It was tested even more today trying to find a way to root without a PC (as I don't own a PC... well I have one that runs Win2K and no internet at home... yeah.) I did download z4root but it never got past the first screen...it literally loaded for an 1hr the 1st time and 35mins the second before I got ticked and just uninstalled. I may be new to the android scene (long time winmob user that fled after testing a wp7 craptastic phone) but something just isn't right here X/ I mean really.... I simply want flash (outside of skyfire) and to wirelessly tether without having to pay ANOTHER $30 a month.... ...
So yeah, /rant
Ota can come ANY DAY NOW *looks angrily at the sky*
Epic is as Epic does

yea it was set to debug , its the original cable that came with it. i have not tried it on a diff pc, it could be a vista issue

Good point. But unless Samsung or sprint announce the update is out. Somebody has to be stock just incase they quietly release the update.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

yep. Im staying on stock for the simple fact that my phone aint broke why try and fix it lol.

I recently flashed DK28, then converted to ext4 and the bonsai mod. Froyo means I can view more webpages and download the froyo apps from the market place. ADW lancher was slow on 2.2, but lancher pro works fine. Also I wasn't getting great battery life but it's back to normal after I set my screen brightness to automatic. Overall I'm happy with my decision.

I too was one that didn't want to root and I was paying for the sprint hotspot :-\ but once I got the first bill for $130 I quickly youtube how to videos on rooting the epic and never looked back. 2.2 runs great with my only bug being, on some calls out I couldn't hear the other person unless I put it speaker phone. I worked my way around this bug by just hitting the speaker button before every call then quickly hit it again to shut off the speaker. It takes very little effort and I'm happier than ever with my epic and I don't give a rats ass about the OTA 2.2

The reason i first rooted was for wireless tether and to get rid of all the bloatware. After that i found all these awesome root apps like ADFREE and ShootME titatanium back up and many others and i can now not live with out adfree its the best app ever!!
After trying wireless tether it was ok then mobile ap came along and i love it. And for this reason alone im staying stock and honestly this is the first phone that does everything i need and doesnt give me any issues even on stock rom. I did get a custom kernal i flashed a good amount of the 2.1 roms and didnt really care for any of them besides noobnls rom. i mean i like custom roms that are blank of extra bloatware and what not.
But yes i agree dont wait to root, you get so many added benefits to make your phone run fast and get many free apps that are ad supported but because of ad free they are like the real one.
Best decision to root.
And for any reason i need to go back to stock to take the phone in i have all the stock flashables on my sd card so i just flash them and its easy as pie.
One click root never gave me any issues with the samsung cord or with any other cords i have.

I agree, I just got tired of it and rooted and installed a custom ROM (Trulyepic 1.2). It's definitely nice. It's also nice to feel free from the shenanigans of corporations trying to do as little as possible to make money off you while maintaining PR.
I admit, it's a bit scary to do with your phone. I'm lucky in that I've gotten familiar with rooting with my Viewsonic Gtablet, but I have to admit that I was pretty nervous the first time.

Hey dude, i haven't rooted my phone and I have the 2.2. rom on my computer... it was super easy to install. If you want the update without having to root, just pm me if you want it, and ill upload it and send u a link. with instructions.

I did the update and my GPS was fubar. I had to flash back to stock and now I'm scared to flash back to 2.2 for fear of losing GPS again. How is your GPS because I really liked froyo but don't want to jeopardize my GPS.

[Q] Possible to COMPLETELY unroot I337UCUAMF3?

I have an AT&T Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2 I337UCUAMF3. I rooted the device using the method posted here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-root-new-root-method-found-mf3-firmware.html
Everything was fine. No custom recovery, but I had root access. Well, my company is reclaiming all company-provided BlackBerrys and rolling out Good for Enterprise on personal devices. Without the ability to use ODIN to completely reflash the device, I tried other methods to remove ROOT -- Universal Unroot, and others that unfortunately I don't recall. I've done multiple factory data resets, and that does not help either.
These methods seem to work as I no longer have root access, however, Good thinks I do which causes my account to get disabled anywhere from 1 hour to 3 days after setting it up. My device is currently showing Device Status = Official and I no longer get the "custom" logo when rebooting. The people at Good sent me a Malware Test app that normally does not show anything, but occasionally will return something running a root shell, but no indication of what -- obviously this is what's causing my device to be flagged as rooted periodically and causing my account to be disabled.
So, in the absence of a stock MF3 firmware to install with ODIN, what else can I do to completely remove root?

You might consider going to best buy that has a Samsung kiosk. They can flash the stock mf3 firmware.

From reading around this forum it sounds like you can take it to Best Buy and go to the Samsung Experience there and they have the ability to flash the completely stock ROM on it (MF3). you just need to call around to your best buys stores to make sure they can do it before heading over there. Others have stated that Samsung sent them to the Best Buy Samsung Experience to do this. It also sounds like MOST of the Samsung Experience people had to call Samsung Support to be able to flash it. Hope this helps

Is there anything I need to tell them for them to do it? Do I say I rooted and need to reflash the stock ROM to completely remove root? I mean, I never would have gone into an Apple Store and said I need to unjailbreak my phone, just not sure what the protocol is to get your phone reflashed by Samsung.
Thanks in advance.

Just tell them your company is rolling out good for enterprise and something happened to your phone where it won't install and they suggested you return it to stock firmware. And you heard that best buy can do that and could you please help me.

Went to Best Buy yesterday. The Samsung rep only comes to the local store on weekends, but one of the other folks was able to help me. I couldn't see her PC screen, but based on what I saw on my S4 screen, it looked like she was flashing the ROM. So far, no issues with Good for Enterprise, so my issue may be resolved.
Thanks everyone for the help.

[Q] I've got 99 problems. Close anyway...

Hey guys! So I have a regular (non dev) edition note 3. It's running NC2, Bean's custom rooted KK, and Eclipse 2.0.1. I'm of course rooted and using safestrap. For the past few months I've been having a plethora of problems. I would have made a post sooner but I'm usually kind of busy and just didn't have the time to sit down and make a post. Anyway, here it goes.
1. Ever since I've had the phone (since black friday 2013), I've had accelerometer issues. Using apps that switch from portrait to landscape never work. I.E the camera, youtube, etc. A full system reboot usually fixes it but it'll alway seem to freeze again. I know this is a common problem but I have not found a solution that works.
2. Around early april, after I switched from jelly beans rom, installed bean's KK, updated safestrap, and flashed eclipse rom, I've been having problems with Google Play Services force closing,"Google play services has stopped working". Sometimes its once or twice an hour, sometimes it's four or five times in a minute. This also happens if I was to boot into my "stock slot", which as I mentioned, contains Bean's custom KK version. It's simply ridiculous. After the latest hangouts update, i now have Hangouts doing the same thing, but not as often.
3. In the last month and half, my connection has went from fair/pretty good to essentially middle fingers for bars. I struggle to maintain a 3g connection and cell standby kills my battery.
4. Battery life is now abysmal. I've tested it one weekend in airplane mode, completely idle, the phone will completely drain itself in 5 hours. Not being touched once.
5. Starting about a week ago, my "recent" emoji tab no longer tracks my most recent entries. I could enter four or five various ones, send it, minimize the keyboard, bring it back up, and the recents list is clear again. I am using Google Keyboard for those wondering.
Those are the major problems, but I'm sure there's more. I'm a college student and I have to drive to class everyday. I rely on my phone for everything and having one thats so broken and unusable is killing me. I pretty much can't use it except for emergencies if I want it to last me a full day at school. I realy need your help guys. Should I factory wipe with kies and reinstall everything? try a different rom? swap out for a newer n3 model? I'm at the end of my witts here guys. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to upload screenshots as needed, but they might be a bit late because of my schedule. Thanks again!

Unbrick Verizon Note 7 (No matter How Bad)

Hey guys,
I created an account here just to share this fix with you all.
To start, Tuesday morning, I decided to update the note 7 (to the firmware that changes battery color if your device is safe). After finding that my battery is still white, I contacted my Verizon Rep and ordered a replacement. Since the phone should have arrived the very next day (corporate account) I decided to flash my phone using the root methods in this forum... BIG mistake. If anyone can confirm that after updating the note, root is successful, then please share. But in the end what I was left with was a note 7 that wouldn't even accept the verizon firmware flashed through Odin. Smartswitch didn't work either (wouldn't accept my serial) so i was pretty much SOL and out of a phone... Until today.
After one last attempt to fix this as I wait for my replacement to arrive, I was searching on the verizon forums and found an old post from the galaxy s5 on their forum. I downloaded the repair assistant from here * verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-80201/#windows * and put my phone in download mode. After connecting it and selecting REPAIR in the verizon software, the program downloaded the latest firmware and brought my phone right back to factory settings working as good as new. This was the only method that I found to work after several days of frustration.
I hope this helps someone out there. Thank you for reading! :laugh:

i assume the only option was the most recent firmware?

Correct. The software goes to Verizons servers and downloads the latest firmware. So the annoying "power down now!" pop ups still show when the device is plugged in but it will be replaced soon anyway At least I have a functional phone in case of an emergency until the replacement arrives.

dude you save my life..same exact thing happen to me,but I had already updated my new note with the green battery and when I tried to flash the sprint firmware it failed and brick my phone..i decided to do the update cause people where saying that it did work with the new phone. but i guess i should of waited and not apply the new update.oh well

Glad to hear I helped somebody! Maybe I'll learn to live without root for a little while lol. The phone is still awesome

Okay, this worked for me, so I'm paying it forward because you guys have been tremendously amazing!!
SO, like many people with the PHE Verizon Note 7 , I received the 60% update and unknowingly installed it. Was very unhappy and tried to root my device not knowing that it would semi-brick it. Used the verizon software assistant to repair it and it erased and restored my device back to the point where it prompted me to install the update again. Downloaded package disabler pro apk version 6.3 and turned off auto update in the play store. MANUALLY entered in two file names which I will post below this and.. VOILA!!!! NO MORE UPDATE MESSAGE... EVER!!! This works only for VZW Note 7 as far as I know.
I disabled these two: com.samsung.sdm and com.sec.android.soagent since we are talking about Verizon here. They do vary by carrier.
First one gets rid of the message icon in the notification bar. Second one I guess stops it from coming back. Hope this helps someone!!

THANK YOU!!
You saved me from having to downgrade to an inferior phone. THANK YOU!!!

My wife (whose Note 7 was not rooted) accidentally did the upgrade from PH1 to PHE. Do you supposed we could plug her phone in and use this software to get it to revert back to the stock PH1 firmware? I'm trying to figure out how we can get her phone back to stock, if at all possible.

No. Not possible.
She is stuck on STOCK PHE.. block updates so she doesnt get bumped to the next STOCK upgrade at 60% battery

Hmmm. She now has the update where she's limited to 60% battery. Can't she do like Tmunroe1 above, try and root and use the Verizon software to revert it back? Seems like that would replicate exactly what he did, and ultimately end up back at stock like we want, yeah?
EDIT: Let me clarify. She does not care about root. She just wants her 100% battery back, so I'm interested in knowing if we can plug her phone in and utilize the Verizon Repair Assistant to revert it back to PHE w/ 100% battery.

Possibly

That worked for me. Yeah, I attempted root and bricked it unknowingly (I've rooted phones before but didn't adequately research the versions that wouldn't work. I was rooting for the express purpose of blocking the 60% limitation). But when the Verizon/Samsung repair software went in, it put me back to the version prior to the 60% update. I'm now able to charge to 100% and have blocked further updates using methods described above. Unfortunately, we likely don't have any way of knowing what version the repair tool will put on the phone, as they may or may not have remembered to update it by now. The version the recovery software put on my phone is N930VVRS2APHE. I hope this helps.

My LTE is not working only 3g. Would like to flash modems. How?

Can someone link me to some instructions that involves Either rooting my note 4 that involves flashing the modems or a stock root that will also flash all modems? Can you also recommend a ROM that you have no had any issues with for at least a year?
I'm not sure if my board is bad or if it just needs to be reflashed. My girlfriend purchased the phone and broke the screen. So before I buy a new screen for it I would like to see if the board is still good.

Board's good (if it runs, you're golden)... and I recently had this problem, too... but mine was due to a system error in whatever ROM I running at the time. Sounds like you're on stock, though? I had that issue when I was on stock (within the first like 3 days having the device). The fix was getting ahold of Sprint on chat, and making sure they had the correct SIM ICC. They fixed it, refreshed, my phone rebooted and ran thru HFA and I had the LTE. Hopefully that's all it is. As for the other questions... umm, flashing TWRP thru odin gets you in the right direction for rooting. And as far as the ROMs go, anything by db_txs_db will work. Beyond that, starr53 ROMs work extremely well. Sorry if I ramble or speak in sentence fragments. Sometimes it happens. Best of luck and lemme know how it goes!

As far as I know firmwares only have one modern and if you have an SM-N910P that is not on the latest DQ15 update then it definitely worth fixing. Good luck
