Hi. Ok, I just got the samsgung galaxy s2 4g aka epic touch 4g VIRGIN MOBILE.

The GB28 version is one I cant find much info on so please help.

1) Can I use clockworkmod on this?

2) How can I make a backup off my current stock rom?

3) Can is use a 4.2.2 JB? I have 4.1.2 stock.

I rooted this using framaroot. It worked :)

1. Yes
2. Download and flash cwm and run backup through cwm
3. Yes, but there are no TW 4.2.2 ports available for the e4gt yet, but there are some available from CM, AOSP, etc

I appreciate that very much. A simple thanks is payment enough, but then you for the offer. I'm just thrilled I could help.

If you are rooted, and on GB28, then flash you can flash Garwynn's GB28 kernel w/Agat's recovery, which comes with cwm.

You can also use garwynn's latest GB27 kernel with no issues.
jd's probably too modest to mention it, but I reflashed with his GB28 Deodexed/Debloated rom in order to free up some space for converting a few user apps into system ones, along with integrating updates.

If you do reflash with his rom, don't click on the (so-called) Connections Optimizer in settings.
jd removed it but the link is still there and my phone locks up if I click on it by mistake.

I don't have a link handy, but the hack for GB27 hotspot works on GB28 as well.

Where can you download this kernel I've been looking everywhere but all i can find is broken links :(

I think there are some issues with the links at the moment. GB27 kernel works fine with VM, fyi. Garwynn is aware and working on it. :)

    Thanks. Now which cwm do I use. I tried a few but they never took :(
