I updated to Froyo from the Samsung site and rooted with 1 click root, (only did RFS). Can I flash any RFS supported rom or do I have to wait for a new rom to come out built off of the new EB13? I keep reading stuff about modems, I'm coming from an EVO which was easier to understand.

Hi all,
I had to post this question here instead of it's rightful thread because I'm new to this site & am restricted. Sorry if this question been covered already. I searched but didn't find my exact situation.
I've been a long time Titanium-X rom user with my Moment, but now since getting an Epic I want to branch out & expand my horizons, so to speak. I currently have One Click Root with CWM 2.5.1.0 installed & want to move from the Titanium-X 2.2.1 EB13 Rom to the Midnight 4.2 Rom along with the newer OCR & CWM3. My current Titanium-X rom is already deodexed, so after I install OCR & CWM3, should I still flash the dual fs kernel or is it not necessary then?
Thanx in advance,
~drums4life~
In not following the x-rom at all. Once you root the phone with cwm 3.0.0.6 and you boot into recovery the conversion to wxt4 will take place. After it is xonoketw you have to flash either a custom rom that is ext4 or a ext4 kernel.

I want to flash the EC05 rom. I found one that is prerooted and can be flashed using odin but it is RFS only. However, the phone was previously flashed with cm3 and converted to ext4. If I flash it using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 with CM 2.5 can I then flash up to the EC05 using odin? Or is there no way to go back to RFS? I am very new to doing things with the epic and I have been looking around for a stock EC05 that supports ext4 that I could just flash from the CM 3 recovery but haven't found one yet.
Odin does not care what is currently on your phone. If you flash the Pre-rooted EC05, it will overwrite what is currently on your phone.
That is what I thought but I wasn't sure. I think I have pretty much convinced my brother to just let me flash it with a custom EC05 rom that supports CM3 such as syndicate or midnight.
Let us know how it goes, I have seen quite a few customers who did the EC05 OTA really screw up their devices, radio dropping and power cycling quite a bit.
ONE OF THEM HERE! ! ! the EC05 ota update turn my phone into a slow waste of technology! Fortunte really because it made me root and flash ROMs.
in regards to the pre-rooted EC05.... i have yet to add this to my arsenal... if anyone has a link handy id appreciate it.
just flashed back to DK28 for the Ironman ROM......would recommend, all i can say is whoa! ! !
Ok so I apologize for my ignorance here but seeing as I have an EVO I'm not really used to the process of manually updating the epic for my wife...anyways a while ago I manually flashed the dk28 update on her phone since it wasn't official and she wanted A2SD ability...so now I see all these new builds so now I have just a few questions:
1. What is a good build or version to flash on her phone?
2. Can I flash from dk28 without having to Odin and wipe everything?
3. Do I have to root? (I don't really care but my wife is worried about voiding her contract and blah blah blah )
Any help and insight would be great...and if any of these questions are stupid please go easy on me haha

just odin to di18 it ota if you don't want to root.
otherwise just wait for cm7
You don't want dk28. Go in dev section find the prerooted ec05 by far the best and id suggest flashing acs syndicate rom its by far the best no issues .
For any custom ROM or kernel you have to have root. So if she wants to stay stock then you will need to Odin to DI18 or EB13 and OTA. There is only one stock tar file for EC05. It is probably in the ACS section of development since K0nane released it.

Incorrect. The EC05 stock TAR is fully stock. 100% unmodified full stock.

You cut off my last sentence which mentioned your 100% stock EC05 tar. BTW it would be real helpful if you got it stickied or add it to the OP of your ROM. Thanks big guy.
Do you BONSAI?
I am in the same boat. I was able to upgrade to DK28 when it was originally leaked months ago but I have a new pc without any of the drivers or tools needed so I need a good basics tutorial on how to flash.
I have DK28 and I am hoping I can update without losing anything.
I want the latest, stable.
Should I do EC05, Bonsai or Syndicate? I am rooted.
I am loooking for functionality and simplicity rather than bells and whistles.
Thanks.

NEVER do an OTA update if you are rooted. The link he sent you is for one of the MANY gingerbread roms available. Visit the development section to choose and select a gb rom to flash.
If you take the OTA update you will lose root and no exploit has been found.

Do not downloads any OTA's, always only get updates from the forums & new roms. OTA's, especially the new ones either break root or blocked it after being updated. Just download any new gingerbread rom & flash one of those using RA Recovery, new the clockwork recovery doesnt wipe dalvik cache. Download the new radios,WIMAX, etc as well from the forums, Calkulin has them all posted in the forums. U will not miss that old MYN Rom, i ran that last year when i 1st got my phone...
My opinion, but Gingerbread sucks in comparison to Myn's 2.2.
I had a replacement come in with Gingerbread, and I could hang myself for it.
I wouldn't voluntarily put that garbage on my phone if someone paid me to do so.
Hi i currently have stock rom but have it rooted. Can someone provide me with a link to update my phone to the new update w/root or let me know what I need to do? Thanks!
Also I am not sure if I am running ext or rfs can some tell me how to figure that out?
A great place to start learning about modding the Epic are the QBKing77 videos on youtube. Just search for them or check out the links to his videos in most of the OPs in the development section. There are a ton of custom roms to play with right now, as well as the stock EI22 Gingerbread rom that came out OTA.
Thanks as I said though I am already rooted but unsure if its ext 4 or RFS I need help figuring that out and then I think I can just odin it from their.
I wish to stay on stock.
Might I suggest taking a look at the MostlyStockROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339579
You can even go to the "old links" and choose to download the deodexed only first release which is Stock + doedexed + root. Or choose one of the newer releases which has the fixes/features you want.
If you want EI22 Fully Stock then I believe you will need to unroot your existing install and install the OWA. I haven't seen a stock ODIN method but may have missed it.
I see. How do I unroot my phone?
odin back to stock ec05.
ok so then how do I root my phone after going back to stock updating then what?
Or couldn't I just do a factory reset then update?

Once you odin back to stock ec05, it'll do the OTA update onto ei22. That's how I did my phone. Warning, once you odin back, you'll lose all your app and data.
I'm not worried about that I have titanium back up pro. their has got to be a easier way to do this though. Before All I had to do was Odin to the next update and that was it (eco5) now I have to odin back to stock remove root then update and then reroot...... thats a lot of work.
Is their a way to do this without un-rooting my phone?
Also can someone shoot me a link to a tutorial on going back to stock?
Also once root is removed I take it I would have to re root it. (this is ridiculous un root, update, reroot)
So what DO i do to re-root it?

you can just download the file and install it using CWM but i'm 0 for 2 with this method.

Follow the video that babystewie posted. I've used it twice, both succeeding with no issues what so ever. It will allow you to update to GB with root, but will give you a stock version of GB. If you're interested in rooting GB as well, check the video description and there's some more videos.
There are a lot of mostly stock roms or even just a cwm flashable ei22 in the development section. You'll keep root and won't have to go through using odin so many times.
what do you mean a stock version of gingerbread? also I already have clockwork if that helps does it mean i have ti do anything different if i want to keep root?
There really is no completely stock Gingerbread ROMs because we don't have the tar file for the Odin flash. There are several ROMs in the Development thread (where the ROMs are) that are mostly stock. You can simply flash one of those, and if you want the EI22 modem, you can flash the EC05 to EI22 modem updater found in the stickies in development. I recommend you start here:
