You ll have practically 1% idle loss with data and WiFi off in about 8 to 10 hours. Sent from the DAD of all S2s - The Epic Touch. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 I'm on FI27 official with root. Is it a good dea to move to FL16 directly? Would I have to remove the photos of contact icons as adviced for earlier versions? Would the internal drive get wiped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ankurcshah 112 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 You can use the nodata rooted one click. No need to remove contact photos as it has been solved. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sliver1 102 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 There is absolute no need to remove contact photos to upgrade to fl16 and all your data remains intact including all the apps you have installed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vishalsheth 19 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 my phone got loaded with FL16 but it's in reboot loop. I cannot finish the welcome setup also. touch is also not happening through. I'm trying to go back to FI27 but am not able to. I'm trying to load FI27 again. Please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshm 818 Report post Posted December 26, 2012 You must have had a corrupt download Don't panic Refiwnload the file Re check md5 that it matches. Put the phone in download mode and flash again. Use no data version of any build and you will be good. Do make sure your cable and ports are working fine.

Dirty flash does that many times. Try and backup your data and apps using my backup root. make sure that the rerware folder is stored in SD card and not on internal storage. Will add a full rooted restore link of the fl16 ROM. Flash that via Odin. later on restore your data. http://rwilco12.androidfilehost.com/LeakSite/Leaks/Samsung%20Epic%204G%20Touch/FL16/ROM/Rooted/SPH-D710_FL16_709589_Rooted_Restore.exe Sent from the DAD of all S2s - The Epic Touch.
