OK - I'm doing my research on how to flash a new ROM. But I have a couple questions:
- Am planning on following ow these instructions here:
HOW TO FLASH How to flash Calkulin's E4GT Rom on the Epic 4G Touch (How to flash Calkulin's E4GT Rom on the Epic 4G Touch - YouTube)
(I would probably use current version V2 at this time)
?? Do I need to ROOT my device first ??
If so - do I follow the instructions here:
How to root and clockworkmod the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch - latest (How to root and clockworkmod the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch - latest - YouTube) (uses ODIN and Lostkernel)
Or should I just root using this method: New root method- [ROOT][EG30] Automated root (http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...new-root-method-root-eg30-automated-root.html)
Also - some conflicting information as to whether I need to run the format prior to flashing the ROM?
So the main question is do I need to root first, and if so - then which is the best method (will automated root work?)
Once rooted then it seems as simple as copying the zipped ROM onto SD storage - running CWM and selecting that ROM? Is there any updates or changes needed to run CWM?
THanks much
