Once on stock EC05 are we able to convert to EXT4 if we use a custom kernel? Or is this not possible yet?
Have you tried rooting with 3.0.0.6? I ODIN'd to stock DI18, then used the one click 3.0.0.6 to root and did ext 4 followed by Bonsai 4.0.0 It should work. YMMV
Stock rom
It seem there is a few ways to have EXT4 and EC05.
The way I did it was:
I had the latest and greatest SyndicateROM on my Epic with Ext4 (of coarse)
Then I went to this post by k0nane:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003447
There all I grabbed was the Modem, just the modem and nothing but the modem. Its a 15Mb tar file
Then load the the modem tar/ with pit into ODIN and flashed it over.
Now i have SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.2 EXT4 EC05

Hi all,
I'm currently running SyndicateROM DI18 and have held off on flashing new ROMs until SyndicateROM Frozen came out. It's now out, and I'm a little uneasy about the steps I need to go through to install it. Could somebody outline all the steps that I need to take to go from DI18 Syndicate to EC05 SyndicateFrozen?? I have an idea as to what I need to do, but I want to be completely sure of what I'm doing before I do it.
Thanks so much!
I'd also like to thank all the developers that have worked so hard to make our phones awesome!
you can do it a couple of different ways. you can odin to di18 stock and accept the ota for ec05. you can also odin to eb13 and then odin the modem to ec05. some people are having better luck going from eb13 than ec05. either way you take run the one click root for eb13 with cwm3. boot into cwm and once the conversion is complete flash the rom before you reboot.

+1 and you should definately upgrade to the new rom as it is great even though some users are having some issues with it but nothing really major.
Ended up Odin ing to EB13 that was pre-rooted with CWM3, then flashed the EC05 Modem and then flashed the SyndicateFrozen ROM. Everything works perfectly, and boy is it fast!
Thanks for the help!

No problem I'm glad you got it working. It is a nice rom.

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! ! !
Why do you have to flash to a stock rom before moving to a custom rom? If I want to install Viper 5.0 on EB13, why do I have to go to stock EB13 first? Just curious. If I flash to the stock EB13, does that change the modem to EB13? I'm on DK28 now with Viper Trinity 2.0 and want to try 5.0...Why can't I just do the wipe 3 times and then flash the custom rom? I just want to understand this is all.
Thanks,
Kevin
Its worth a try.... if it doesn't boot you'll have to odin anyway. Wipe everything 3x each and flash your rom and see if it fixes it. Also, you can always flash different modems with odin.

Sure, but that doesn't really get to the root of my question. When I went from EC05 stock to DK28 ViperRom, why did I have to flash to the stock DK28? what significance does this have?

It is probably due to the modem compatibility and support files. Most ROMs include all support and stock files needed but may remove bloatware. Some check for modem and will install the needed modem, others not. For EB13 and EC05 ROMs the support files and data are compatible but not necessarily with DK28 since that was an early leak.
As mentioned, back up your stuff and you can always try without Odin'ing first and if you get no errors you are good to go.
you dont have too., you could just odin the modem, and flash the rom... unless you have to change from rfs to ext4 or vice versa
In order to flash the EH17 modem from Cyanogen with the EI22 modem can I just flash EH17 through ODIN, or do I need to return to a stock build, update the modem to EH17, then return to Cyanogen?
Background:
I was on EH17 on BML Cyanogen. I flashed EC05 through ODIN, then ran the EC05 -> EI22 delta through Clockwork. After getting EI22 I went to the MTD version of Cyanogen, and currently have a build with WiMAX installed. My battery life has dropped by 4-6 hours since making these changes, and in my office (a very low service area) I've been having a lot more service issues. My instincts tell me to just update the modem because it's probably exists outside of the BML/MTD world, but I do like my phone working.
Thanks for the help!

Yep just odin it in... odin still works on cm7 no need to downgrade unless trying to get to ei22 because you can't flash the ei22 delta with cwm on cm7mtd...

Not a problem
I was running ACS SFR 1.2 for the longest time (about a year I think), and yesterday finally decided to update to CM9. I didn't realize it wouldn't update my baseband at the same time (previous roms always did).
I do have CWM 5.0.2.7 installed, and also have successfully used the multiboot FC09 to update my profile and PRL, however, I realized my baseband in CM9 is still EG22.
Is there a way to update the baseband without having to use Odin and losing my CM9 setup? I guess it's not a huge deal to re-set up everything... but I'm a little pissed that Mybackup root wouldn't let me restore my stuff from the backup I made before updating.... so I had to re-install everything from scratch.
I did see a reference to uprgrade.zip, usable from CWM9, but it seems like you had to be on EL30 or something 1st (diff patch?).
Why not just odin the modem (not a full tar, just the modem itself)? It won't touch the rest of your setup.
Yes use odin to flash just the modem you won't touch your rom setup. Search youtube for qbking77 and find his how to video on updating modems. Takes maybe 4 min.

Ok, I was just confused because everything said I'd have to repartition if I used Odin.
Just leary because the last time I Odin'd I damn near bricked my phone...
Anyway... grabbed the FC09 modem.bin, Odin 1.85, Samsung drivers, installed everything on my work PC...
Powered down phone, plugged in... let windows auto update the drivers for the ports ... Booted into download mode (1 + power). Once the com port showed up, I put the modem.bin in the phone slot of Odin ... hit start ... about a minute later... phone rebooted and I now have FC09
Thanks!
Only very few ROMs that did a very specific check could update modems. This was done by using the delta modem provided in the update zip. So you HAD to be on EB13 modem to have the ROM update you to EC05 and that was the only situation supported. There is no way to flash a full modem.bin on the Epic without Heimdall or Odin. There are flashable deltas from EI22 to EL30 and another from EL30 to FC09 but you will need to flash them with the BML CWM temp boot from sd card.

To OP: Below is a download link for all modems from EC05 to FC09, including deltas. Each phone performs differently depending on modem version, so try them out and see which one works best for you.
