Who has the VM USA Galaxy S2 variant, what did you flash and are currently running? I am curious to know what others use as daily drivers, what has worked for them, and how they went about obtaining it.
I have looked around but to no avail in the last few months have I seen a huge dev support for SPH-D710VMUB. I have successfully updated my phone to sxtp GB28 Rom w/ root and MidnightRom but have not tried CM10.1 because of rom issues and flashing confusion.
I have recently flashed CarbonRom (LOVE IT) because it was listed in MidnightRoms goomanager app under "other compatible roms". At the time I did not know it was strictly for Sprint but it took okay. Everything seems to work flawlessly except data of course (no 3G/4G therefore no MMS, GPS, etc.) I have looked at APN apps (have a thread made for that), but no luck on getting any of it to work.
Check out my thread on CarbonRom. I'm thinking of close it down since I have this one up now. It has images and links however.

Found another awesome rom called ReVolt:

Check it out. Probably need to flash a Sprint ICS or older modem to get data to work on Virgin Mobile.
Btw, I did get data working by flashing a Sprint ICS/GB modem. Check out my thread on that.

Note that these are ROMs that I have tested. There could be more out there!

If you want to recover your touchwiz nandroid coming from a CM10 based ROM or clockwork mod recovery, you will need to restore first time using CWM then when your new ROM and recovery are flashed, boot up system then go back into recovery (which should now be Agats) and restore the nandroid one more time doing this.
The reason being, CM10 CWM is not fully compatible with TW basedbased ROMs and so they won't fully restore your ROM. I figured this out myself.

Did you use clockwork to install those? If so how did you install it?

The best ROM I have found for my Samsung Galaxy SII is "RootBox-JB-i9100-V4.0". Long battery life, super fast UI, all latest utilities and features. I love my SII with this ROM

It's a little complicated than that. Remember, on Samsung phones, the rom and recovery are intertwined. Meaning when you flash your ROM it will have a recovery specific to that ROM. CWM/CM10 recoveries aren't fully compatible with TouchWiz Roms. You'll need an altered version of CWM/TWRP for that.
I went and flashed GB28 rooted with Agats recovery by sxtp developers. It has a full tutorial on that page. Specific to virgin mobile. You'll need to download the drivers and software and its pretty straight forward. I'll post a link.
If you want to go from there to a CM10 based ROM afterwards, I can help you.

No. Most all of the ROMs you flash will have root access in one form or another. TW will have SuperSU and CM10, SuperUser/BusyBox most likely. So don't worry about root. And when you flash a ROM, you will be flashing its new recovery also. No, it should not mess anything up if you follow the method specific to the ROM.

Here is what I would do: Use Odin (mobile or PC) to flash a rooted version of your stock ROM. It could have a recovery to it or not. If not, then after you flash the stock ROM, flash a compatible recovery. I used Agats for TW. Once you have that, download the CM10 zip, boot into recovery. It is advised you follow their instructions however this is how I did mine. It worked for the most part.
Once you are in agats cwm recovery, wipe data/ factory reset/cache/dalvik. Don't think you need to format, but to he safe it'd be system/cache/data (check on that). Don't format internal or you will lose everything (like backups and zips among the important). You can then flash your ROM and gapps.
Reboot, will take a little while. Then go back into recovery when you can (it should be a new recovery that came with the ROM). Do all of the same methods above for a clean install of your ROM in this new recovery. Boot, and you SHOULD be set to go. Hope this helps.

You can google virgin mobile galaxy s2 gb28 recovery. It'll be on sex tapes forums. Follow their guide and they will have rooted and unrooted versions of the official jellybean release with agats. Also look for a user named TheBritton who has, literally a "noobs guide" to all ROMs/methods with links, for our phone. I'll find a link.

Yes, it did for me. I used Mobile Odin Pro because it was updated to recognize our version of E4GT. Try it on the free version and see if it takes.
How do I know if it took?

Is it done? Boot into recovery. Download ROM toolbox and use its Rebooter menu. Or do the manual way.

So you have the recovery flashed then. Which? Agats is for Touchwiz based ROMs not Cyanogenmod technically. Try my method. Go to sxtps website and look for GB28 w/Agats recovery. Flash a touchwiz ROM, like MidnightRom, then try CM10. (Or one of the better ROMs mentioned in this thread).

Yes, but I tried to do it and I'm having issues. I've got your recovery working, but it says that it can't mount my sd card. I can't flash the root zip. I'm sorry that I have to post this here, but I'm new to this forum and it seems as though my hands are tied. I can't post in the developer's section, and I can't send PMs to a lot of people because I don't have 10 posts yet. I do appreciate the hard work, and I do donate to developers. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think so. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
Put root.zip on sd when tab is running Android, then when in cwm you can flash it

Would it work for SM-T310 8.0? If not, is it possible to make it compatible?
You would have ro build it from source, having a stock boot.img and stock recovery.img with some knowledge about linux is all you need

I don't know what you mean. The tablet is only running Android... No matter, I figured it out. Your custom CWM doesn't recognize 64G sd cards. I managed to find a 64mb sd card I had laying about & I put the zip on that. It did the trick. Thanks for making a root for this tablet. I'll send you a donation soon.

I don't think it's "my" cwm doesn't recognize your 64 gig card, but cwm in general doesn't do that

Hi,
I'm using only stock rom, rooted and with xposed mods on my Nexus devices. Because of trying some things out, I want to have a stock rom update.zip from the latest Factory Image on my device to have the security to flash it back to stock without a computer.
So, I've managed with some help this update.zip. It's absolutely pure stock. Not rooted, not deodexed or anything else (to root, there is a link below)
I think, some of you are thinking the same and so I want to share this update zip. I hope you have fun with it.
It works with CWM and TWRP Recovery!

Nope, just the ROM itself, meaning no stock recovery or anything else you'd get by flashing the stock image

I need a little guidance here please. There seems to be several different ways to root the LG G3, but a lot of them are for the International or T-Mobile unlocked G3's.
So for the ATT G3, which method do we use to Root ? Stump ?
And to install TWRP Recovery ? I read about something named Bump'd ?
My main concern is, I won't get this phone if it's ike the nightmare of ROM'ing like the old ATT Galaxy S4 was, with bizarre things like Safestrap, and or the old ATT HTC One X with .boot img files you needed to installed in fastboot, etc...ugh I want nothing to do with that :silly:
My last few phones, OnePlus One, and ATT HTC One M8, were a breeze and easy to root, and custom Recovery installed normally, no tricks or weird Bump's or Safestraps.
You didn't look hard enough
