hello
anyway to get the original firmware for sprint usa galaxy s2?
Reason i ask is cause i was told to root my samsung galaxy s2 and followed the guide shown here on the site. Now the rooting went perfect but i didnt even realize/think that since this is the usa model its diferent from all the others wuth the buttons on the bottom, now after rooting the buttons dont work except the back button. Unless anyone here has another idea
thanks
P.s. sorry for double post just desperate here due to my phone not working with service or anything due to this dumb mistake i made
wow you installed a international galaxy s2 kernel on epic 4g touch? i think kies has the option to restore or go to epic touch 4g forum

I think you're in the wrong place anyways. the sph-d710 is a completely different model of the Galaxy SII than the i9100. There is no such thing as a i9100 sph-d710.
The GT-i9100 is the international versions of the Galaxy SII, and the sph-d710 is the Sprint version of the Galaxy SII, also known as the Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4g, or the Samsung Within.
I actually don't even see a forum for the Epic Touch 4g in xda, which is weird. There's a forum for the Epic 4g, which is the version that has a hardware keyboard... So I don't know where you should be, actually.
EDIT: I found the forum for the Epic 4g Touch - you want to be in THIS forum
I just picked up a galaxy tab 10.1 Tmobile version SGH-T859 with a badly cracked screen. My question is if anyone knows if all screens are the same? I am going to be ordering a new digitizer (perhaps LCD as well) and just want to make sure the new one will fit. Are they all p7500 / p7510 screens or are Tmobile's screens different? Or what are the differences between the 4g versions and the wifi only versions as the tmobile is obviously 4 g. Thanks for any help!!

I'm pretty sure that they are different. I would look for one that has the same model number as the one that it is going to be replacing

AND IT STILL DIDNT WORK
Because you flashed a kernel for Epic 4G, then you tried to revert it with tutorial for i9100. Am I right?

In addition to that - are your profile details accurate? Are you a T-mobile subscriber in the USA?
If yes, then you used not just 1 incorrect guide, but 2.
The T-mobile Galaxy SII is the SGH-T989. The forum for that phone is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1329.
The I9100, Epic 4G Touch, and SGH-T989 are all totally different phones. The Epic 4G Touch is specific to Sprint, and the SGH-T989 is specific to T-mobile. Stuff between the two are totally NOT compatible.
The I9100 is a phone that works in the US on ATT and T-mobile (sort of on T-mobile, until T-mobile finishes their network upgrade), but isn't actually sold in the USA by any of the big 4 carriers.

Sprint device is still not an I9100. If your device is from Sprint, then you have the Epic 4G Touch, and are in the wrong forum. You can double-check the model number under the battery.
If the model reads as "SPH-D710", then you for sure have an Epic 4G Touch, and the Epic 4G Touch forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
The Epic 4G Touch is CLOSE to the I9100 in terms of CPU/GPU hardware, but they have totally different radio hardware.
You should stay within that forum when looking for stuff for your device, and out of this one. (for the I9100)
