Thanks Denys Vlasenko/chris41g for busybox, ChainsDD for su, Steady Hawkin/Calkulin for FD02+CWM-Rogue(repack), qbking77 for video, id10terror for Odin 1-click suggestions, mavd5831, RainMotorSports, sponge66 for mirror(s)
You may have heard... the zerglings fought a noble battle against the samdroids and held their own for many battles, but were finally defeated on the EL13 battleground. Starting with EL13 the zergrush exploit is plugged. Do not fear, as the zerglings have enlisted their old ally Odin to fight the next battle for them.
This One-Click ODIN contains the STOCK FD26 Modem/Kernel/ROM for the E4GT.
The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of FD26) on top of this w/o issues.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.
This does NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.
This is equivalent to using the Auto Root Package on a stock ROM. In fact, if you used that package to UNROOT (Option B) this ROM then it would become 100% stock. After flashing this all functions of that package will be functional.
There are two versions provided, a FULL Restore that resets your whole phone, similar to a factory restore, and a No Data Restore, which is the same, except it preserves your User Data. The NoData version is only suggested if you are upgrading or remaining at the same version.
0) Backup anything important and Disable any PINs
This process will restore you to factory software. All your Android data will be reset.
To be safe, it is best to archive your backup off your phone, ie on your PC or dropbox.
Note #1: Please DISABLE any PIN code you may have created to protect your phone. As a security measure, after the flash, Android will ask you for your PIN, if you have one enabled. It is simpler to have no PIN active. If you forgot your PIN then, after the factory restore, just enter the wrong PIN a few times and it will warn you. Enter the wrong PIN again and it will reset the filesystem.
2) Download the FD26 full restore One-Click self-extractor
SPH-D710.FD26_CL467198_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe [Mirror1 / Mirror2 / Mirror3] (RESET user data)
[MD5: 2279c1eb64a26a3f9dd720c7a9d11c0b / Size: 303,876,701]
SPH-D710.FD26_CL467198_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe [Mirror1 / Mirror2 / Mirror3] (PRESERVE user data - do NOT use if downgrading versions)
[MD5: be2003284900cd79a81a1a82f3b77271 / Size: 302,857,810]
Mac/Linux - Install 7-zip, then use it to unpack the individual ODIN components in Reference Section B (below). If Heimdall fails flashing all 3 files together, try doing them individually. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows specific (steps 3, 4, 6).
Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6).
3) Extract the package
double-click on the self-extractor file, specify the directory to extract to (instructions assume C:\)
4) Start ODIN One-Click
Navigate to C:\Odin-OC Full: Double-click on SPH-D710.FD26_CL467198_ROOTED-OneClick.exe NoData: Double-click on SPH-D710.FD26_CL467198_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe
5) Place phone in ODIN download mode
Code:
Method #1
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Code:
Method #2
adb reboot download
Code:
Connect USB cable to PC if not already connected
ODIN should show yellow COM port in 2nd column
Note #1: If you do not see a yellow COM port, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as Administrator and/or unplug/plugin the USB cable after starting ODIN One-Click.
6) Start ODIN flash process
Press [Start]
7) Complete - PASS!
When complete you should see a screen similar to what is shown at top of post
Phone will automatically reboot
Status should change to green PASS!
Boot process will be slightly longer than usual during which time you'll see the 4G logo screen.
If you want CWM use Option D in the Auto Root Package to install FD02+CWM-Rogue (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary)
If you need to clear NVRAM/Sprint data login info, perform a ##72786# reset from the Dialer and enter MSL.
Type getprop ril.MSL in adb shellorterminal to retrieve your MSL.
For NoData install:
- If you are getting random force closes, wipe cache/dalvik-cache
- If you have troubles with Android Market, clear data from
menu->applications->all->market->clear data
- If you have troubles booting into Android, perform factory reset in ICS using the ODIN OneClick Factory Reset tool. Do NOT perform factory resets using stock recovery or privacy->reset, at least until you read about the EMMC superbrick/lockup bug and understand what the trigger points are and what you are exposing yourself to.
Scrolling - Improved
Before anyone asks, I tested the scrolling behavior.
It appears improved to me, but it may still be beyond the tolerance levels for some people. It is more sensitive than GB, but less than the previous release.
Again, everyone has different tolerances for how fast auto scroll is triggered, so your mileage may vary.
Personally I didn't really have any problem with the behavior in the previous releases, I just adjusted my behavior to match how it behaved, but I did recognize that it behaved differently from GB.
Wifi - Present
Various reports of wifi dropping out at work (more complex wifi configuration) but working fine at home (simple wifi configuration) There was a theory put forth this might be related to DHCP timeout settings. Not a lot of detail other than that.
Radio - Varies
This will be highly dependent on the signals in your area and how Sprint's towers are performing. Probably 1/3 will say it improved, 1/3 say it is the same, and 1/3 will feel it is worse. I'm joking but being serious at the same time. I would suggest you try the modem for a full day at least, testing performance at various points in the day and with different speedtest servers, before coming to a conclusion. If you can try it on weekends as well as weekdays, that would be best.
GPS - Varies
Just like Radio performance, GPS performance can be variable as there are sometimes software and hardware antennae issues at play and they aren't mutally exclusive.
##DEBUG# tool NOT using MSL - Present
The debug tool triggered when you type ##DEBUG# in the dialer is asking for some lock code which isn't your MSL. It isn't known what code this is so effectively ##DEBUG# is unusable, which makes debugging signal problems difficult. Entering MSL results in invalid lock code message.
MTP / USB Mass Storage - Present
There is still no UI to switch from MTP mode to USB Mass Storage Mode. I think this is a mistake because many PCs do not support MTP or don't support it well. USB Mass Storage Mode allows your phone to show up as a USB drive when you plug it into a computer and is much better supported. Workaround and issue is covered in more detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=889
Contacts - Fixed
FC and hanging in contacts appears to be resolved, clear contacts storage and let it sync if you restored your data and it is still FCing, thanks mmark27 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7#post25452837
Lockscreen Weather - Present
When you enable lockscreen weather, even though it is initially configured for fahrenheit, the screen shows celsius. When you toggle the setting, then it corrects itself - thanks JohnCorleone http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7#post25441227
Damn that was quick. Sfhub you da man. Anyone the flashes this can you report on scrolling. Is it still turbo scrolling or did they revert it to like it was in FD16?
