I.  Before You Begin

1.  This guide only shows you how to root SPH-D710, the Sprint version of the Galaxy S II.
2.  You may lose all your data by following this procedure, so make sure that back up everything important before you proceed.
3.  Ensure that you have all the necessary drivers installed; if not, download them from the next section and install before you proceed.

II.  Necessary Downloads

1.  SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe  Mirror(if you plan a fresh install) or
 SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe / Mirror (if you plan to retain your data and apps)
2.  Samsung Android USB Drivers.

III.  Rooting the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch

1.  Double-click on SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-oc-sfx.exe self-extracting file and extract it to a convenient location (for example, C:\Odin-OC).
2.  Double-click on SPH-D710.FF18_CL663858_ROOTED_NODATA-OneClick.exe from the extracted folder.
3.  Power off your device and reboot into Odin mode.  To do this, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until you get a warning screen and then press Volume Up.

Once the status changes to PASS! and your device reboots, you should have a rooted Epic 4G Touch!
