I've tried Starburst ROM, Criskelo and Lite'ning. They all flash perfectly fine but when my phone boots up I have no service. Any advice? Please help. I'm a noob. By the way I have an SPH-D710 if that helps any.
Try staying on stock and then root with stock kernel
If that works its all good just flash a custom rom on top of that and reflash the rooted stock kernel
If thats a no ho try lost kernel
Also viper rom i think has lost kernel built in

Right now I flashed my phone back to the stock kernel are you saying I should use a different one? Sorry I'm just new to this android game.
Maybe you're doing the same thing I was doing. The Galaxy S2 and Epic 4G Touch are two different phones. The GS2 uses a SIM card, so if you have a GS2 ROM, then you won't have service since it's looking for a SIM card. Check to make sure you're downloading a Epic 4G Touch ROM so that you don't get bricked like I did. -_-
What ROMS can I use for an Epic 4G?

First you need to make sure you're getting the right Roms for your phone...are you confusing epic 4g with epic 4g touch? Two different phones...

So does anyone here know if we will be getting MIUI for the epic touch? And if so do you know when we will be getting it? It was my favorite rom for my evo 4g and i would love to see it on this phone. Thanks
It will be ported eventually yes. We need aosp kernels.

If you flash miui from the gs2 with our kernel it works great except for the phone... Camera works, wifi is easy to get working ect..

We'll get it if or when a developer picks it up. If your anxious maybe pm some of the developers to see if they will pick up the project.... Just a idea.

I believe lithid-cm already started to work on it indirectly. By indirectly I mean they need a working AOSP kernel/build first. So that's what he is working on right now. I believe the kernel is giving them issues.

It would be really nice of Cyanogen would put out the AOSP kernels along with the stock one because he works for Samsung now.
Just an idea

What is the difference between the aosp kernel and the Samsung kernels, why does miui and cm7 need aosp kernels?

Not sure why either but I asked lithid-cm the he said they NEED the AOSP kernel/source to work properly, before porting MIUI.

It will usually boot with touchwiz kernel but most of the time 3g 4g touch screen and calls wont work that is why u need aosp kernel . The drivers need to load toake things work .....we have multiple teams working on it teamhacksung and cyanogen team ..... It will happen patience my little padawan....

I rocked Miui on my OG EVO 4G almost exclusivly.
Having finally jumped ship to a stock phone (I rooted ;-)) there are some concerns with going back to miui:
1) NO 4G!!!
2) On Evo, there was no 720p recording with Video... I'd hope we can take advantage of our 1080p cameras!
3) DATA WAS SLOW
That's it... If those 3 things were fixed I'd be happier than a stuffed pig!!
MIUI PROS:
1) customizable like no other!
2) smooth
3) Clean UI
4) overall fun to use
Just wondering if any devs have toyed with the idea of porting the Samsung E4GT rom to the Evo 4G, or is it even do able?

I can say that it probably wouldn't be that fun of an experience... The E4GT doesn't use a boot.img like the Evo does, it has ramdisk and zImage separate. Samsung modems and drivers would take some work. I believe it uses BML and not MTD.
Not saying it is impossible, but at the very least whoever took that up would have a huge challenge.
Hi, I have my epic running on cm10 preview, awesome rom by the way. Also my phone is flashed to boost mobile. I keep reading about the crespo modem, but I don't know what are the benefits of it. if someone can clarify this for me Thanks.
Okay I went ahead and installed it. My signal bars are down and my 3g is really really slow. Could be my area or it might work better on sprint or maybe this modem is to get better 4G SPEEDS (I do think have 4G in boost) bit it just not working out for me. Does anyone knows how to reversed the process to install an sprint modem?

Odin an epic modem or flash one using joemossjr's thread in cwm. sorry it's not good for you. it's been better for most people.
Yeah I tried flashing but to install the crespo modem I had to patch the kernel and also made another mod mention on the pages. Anyway when I installed the epic modem it doesn't recognize it. It don't let me make phone calls or Internet. So I install the crespo modem again

You have to flash a compatible kernel since you flashed a kernel patch to use the nexus modem.

The easiest way is to odin an epic modem and flash a rom that supports it.
I've been around for a bit from the tmo dash to the touch pro to the evo and soon to the epic touch. I have a few questions which i hope some of.you can help me with. Does this have the same weak radios and horrible battery of the ns4g? And what's with all these build numbers fh this and that? What would changing the modem do? Is cwm still the most popular recovery? And finally, it has ics on it so will I be able to root?
I have been trying to read but I'm getting confused. I was able to only update the radios, rom and kernel now there are all these options.
Thanks in advance for any useful info

I had to root the evo through adb shell. I was too impatient to wait for a one click solutuon. That was a pain and a process. I've read that the et4g is one click root so I'm happy

Thanks for the replies. From reading I'm gathering that a modem is the same as a radio? And do I have to look at anything before I can just flash away (I mean in terms of being compatible). I hear these are easy to brick also...

Just look for the newest one download the .zip and flash through recovery. It all depends were u live radios r different for every phone a new modem might not work as good as a old one so just download a couple and which works better.

I got this from a friend who is getting an iPhone. He just had his S2 replaced like a month ago so I get a new phone for cheap. Im holding out my upgrade for a quadcore phone. I refuse to go with the LG only because I dont think the developer or factory support will be there. This should make my wait more bearable with my huge leap from NS4g.
I have jelly bean right now with everything working ok (except the massive battery drain) on my NS4G. Anything close to that on this phone? How is the developer support? Im coming from a phone with ok support and maybe like 3 choices that are updated consistantly.
Yes all modems are compatible with any rom and we have cm10 and aokp versions of jellybean. The brick issues are much much less now that we developers have identified the problem and made safe recoveries. Don't flash anything in stock recovery.
Hello,
I am due for an phone upgrade in a few weeks. I currently have a Sprint Samsung Epic 4G Touch with a data/charge port that does not work. I am considering not upgrading to a new phone, but instead tether wirelessly to an android tablet which I may purchase. I have not any success with any tethering applications with the SGS2. As much as I would the newest phone Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I imagine it would not be rooted for a while and I would rather have a phone that can be rooted without too much trouble. I plan to tether an android tablet to it.
Any recommendations or suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

The post above you already said enough. Epic 4G never had an official update beyond FC09/19. If you have GCxx then you are an Epic 4G Touch - separate forum available elsewhere.
