I'm trying my very hardest to be calm in this situation, which is hard to do given the amount of information provided by the Op. I won't say anything other than READ.

If you have clock work 3.x check if the zips you are flashing are converted to edify scripts. Or since I think truly epic is edify anyways, you're probably not on clockwork 3.x. look for dameons posts on installing the clockwork mod 3

Yes it is the orange one. In that case Im not to sure. Did you try re downloading the zip? If nothing else works I'd say unroot you're phone and start over from scratch

I don't believe syndicate even has a EXT4 (Clockworkmod3 compatible) ROM, so you must be trying to flash RFS only ROM's from the sound of it.
Make sure the ROM you flash says EXT4, not RFS.
EDIT: Checked Truly Epic ROM out and it looks like it should work fine with Clockwork 3.0.0.5.
When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean exactly? Whats it do?

Gotta give us some more info than that? What method did you root with? Do you have cwm? We can't help you cause we have no idea what you have.

Wish I could. Never seen your problem. You sure the cwm is installed right ?

Yes, you will need to Odin back to stock to get your RFS back.

Question base band version

Is there anyway to change the base band version by flashing a modem from cwm instead of using odin?
I'm having trouble connecting my phone to my computer and this happened after I went to eh 17 so I want to go to ec05
Anyone know if there is a flashable ec05 zip?

I may be wrong but I thought there actually was a flashable EC05 version because it wa an actual official release. I will dig around a bit and ask a few people. I am using EC05 modem on Gingerbread right now and its working very well for me

thanks a lot for your reply.
i was looking for it but cant find it. i honestly want any modem not nesesarily ec05 cuz if i could just get my usb to work which i think eh17 could b the problem i will just odin my phone to stock and do whatever i want to it
if you could help me find it it would really be appreciated.
and just something i thought of.. when ec05 came out it was released ota and in the "update.zip" way so if i could find the update.zip fild for it would it also change the baseband version or no?

Good question. I know the ReRFS ROM takes you back to stock EC05 but I am not sure if it switches the modem. I will check my copy and report back

No unfortunately it doesn't. But John it would be great if you found it. I think we both looked for this once before for somebody. There were older EC05 ROMs like Bonsai that would update your modem to EC05 but only if coming from EB13 or DK28.

I was looking last night and came across that rom. It didn't change the modem tho.
But something I just kind of figured out was I can flash froyo roms on a GB modem? I thought it wouldn't work. After I flashed the rerfs rom for ec05 I flashed syndicate rom and its working perfect now even tho I'm on a GB modem?
But still the computer won't connect to my phone.
I also tried using a different phone to make sure the usb does work and it worked on a different phone. I tried to see if my memory card might b the problem but no it wasn't. this rom I'm on now is good but I would like to odin my phone just to b safe then return to this.
And I'm just wondering did this happen to anyone else? Is anyone else running eh17 and having usb problems?

Oh thanks. I didn't know that.
Another thing I was thinking about is the cwm flashable deodoxed eh17 modem. Would that change the modem or just the rom..? I had the same thing for ee03 I think it was but I deleted it since so many newer leaks came out. Do you think that would work?

Not sure why but the .tar file is followed by a .md5 extention, so I just removed it and it became a .tar, just for others to know, thanks

the md5 extension is so you know it hasnt been messed with, and so you know the download is not corrupt...
odin flashes md5s and checks the downloads...

What would be the benefit of flashing this versus your other similar kernel? Sorry if this is a stupid question....

Thank you so much. This is perfect. Do have a question. Does this have a new version of cwm or the same one from yesterday? I ask cause the back soft button wasn't working and the storage mounts were reversed. Just checking to see if that has been fixed.

It is the same just without root and busybox. He made it for those of us that prefer having root controlled at the system level versus the kernel. You don't lose anything either way. If you use this you have to make sure you are running an already rooted rom. There is less conflict by doing this since most, if not all, roms are already rooted.

Once again thanks for you help. One last stupid question before I retire from stupidity, but how do I know which way I am rooted? I thought the only way to root was FROM the kernel. I ask because I'm specifically on midnight rom v2 and have no clue which way I'm rooted.

Is there any way someone could upload a mirror to a different site? I'm wanting to flash this but I'm at work and my company is blocking the site that the link is for. If you can that would be awesome if not, no big deal. I'll try and get it when I get home.
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to get it from my phone.

I can up it to megaupload if that helps Tiffany.
Link deleted.

Yes you will keep root cause the rom is rooted. As long ad the rom is rooted the kernel doesn't need to. be.

Just curious, if someone has flashed chris' previous kernel, what benefit is there supposed to be? Is it not the same stock kernel with some tweaks? Especially if you're concerned with losing root. Not singling anyone out, just curious as to the rationale.

Because kernels that have forced copying of root & busybox cause issues when you start using complete custom ROMs because they overwrite files that are already included. Plus if your including a custom recovery, what the point of including root, etc when the user can now flash what they want?
Also, Chris, the recovery you have included in this won't mount the internal storage or even make a backup to it or recover, it only wants to use the external sd card and since I don't use one because of the delay it causes coming from sleep, I can't do anything except test flash stuff

I flashed this around noon and once my phone rebooted, I updated my 'profile' under 'about phone'. Everything seemed fine, an hour later...I had a LOS, rebooted and got it back, an hour later, same thing...LOS. Rebooted and I updated the profile again, it's fine for now.
Do we have to update profile every time we do a reboot??
Didn't have any issues when in stock.

Nope. One clicks don't work on 2.3.5. You need to use Odin to install CWM 5.027, then pull the battery before it boots, power up into CWM first then flash a custom GB ROM.

Why not just have him install the gb3.tar kernel instead of "pull the battery before it boots" much easy and less fearfull.

Does that have clockwork in it too? Usually I say uncheck reboot in Odin but then you still gotta pull the battery and pop it back in then boot to CWM. Didn't mean to be scary..lol!

No but it qbkings tutorial he says to flash the kernel first.... then flash Cwm just saying it would be less chance of error. Something in the stock kernel has a script that searches for cwm and causes it to delet after the first boot anyways.....

Exactly! And no worries about it overwriting recovery as long as you flash a custom gb rom (there is a mostly stock one if trying to stay stock) as the kernel will be included with the rom... don't let biggorn scare you... its not scary to pull the battery after odin ;-)

Flashing a custom rom.... and a custom kernel.
Suggestions: legendary 2.2 and the samurai or shadow kernel
MarcusantRom revival v2..... just go through the android development forums to see which rom you'd like to use. Just be careful what your trying to download thought. If your Rom is BML or MTD then you have to download that type of kernel.

U don't even have to pull out the battery is instantly boots up into cwm that's what happened to me when I got my replacement that was already on ei22 I just connected to odin and flashed the latest cwm and had a rom already on my sd card so I just flashed the rom when it opened cwm for me
Its very easy and no worries and if it doesn't open cwm its not like your phone will brick or anything u just need to try again. To flash a kernel would be easy too

qbking77 has a 2 part video on it that is very step by step. just follow it and you will be fine. from what i remember just 1 extra fie to odin and you need a file on your sdcard. it was pretty gravy. have fun and mistakes are a short odin back to the beginning
edit.
haha forgot there was a second page..... use remember you can go from bml to bml, or bml to mtd, mtd to mtd type roms. YOU CAN NOT JUST FLASH FROM MTD TO BML!!! you must odin back to ec05 and make sure repartition is checked and use the victory pit. happy playing

just remember though... after reading the information on these forums, and you are still unsure or whatever... ask questions, ask questions , ask questions...

Well everything is running great but now Sprint is trying to upgrade my firmware to EL30. Will this do away with my new found rooting and can it be re-rooted if it does?

It will fail to update since your rooted you have to go completely stock to upgrade and once upgraded its the same root process with the exception of using a different kernel.
