ODIN your phone back to stock, use the pre rooted one that comes with clockworkmod 3, then wipe data and flash.
Search in the future this kind of issue has been discussed more times than I can count.

Yeah that's what I did. I odined back 2 DI-18 & waited 4 the OTA EC05. Did the cwm 2.5. Didn't work do I odined did the while EC05 again & cwm 3. Still didn't work

Trouble installing roms with EC05

Everytime I flash a rom that requires EC05 it flashes like it's taking out in recovery & then when it boots up it stays on the black & white Samsung screen. Phone will vibrate & screen will go black with the white notifications at the bottom still lite, then it goes back 2 the Samsung screen

Did you wipe data 3x?
If so and it still doesn't work, odin back to eb13 and flash Rom then odin the Ec05 modem back.
May work for you?
Yeah I wiped 3x. I have no problem installing other roms besides this 1. I odined & everything. Even redownloaded 2 see if it was a bad download but its still the same. The EC05 modem I got from the OTA update

Odin back to EB13 and try flashing the rom. Then odin the EC05 tar file and see if that fixes it for you. I'm assuming that you are rooted and converted to EXT4? Probably are but I just thought I'd ask to be sure.
I am no expert by any means and I'm only telling you info I have gathered through lots of research and trial and error when I first started my journey to the promised land.
I tried using the tar file 4 EC05 4 odin & it says failed. That's why I did the OTA update cause I didn't know the actual update was EC05. Do now I really don't know wat 2 u. It frustrates me cause I flash shout of roms, go from modem 2 modem & like I don't knew anymore

Cool, same thing happened to me,last night at 6 am. I was reading, and flashing, and Odin'ing, and re rerooting. I thought it was time to get the OTA to froyo. So I Flashed ACS syndicate EXT 4 Rom. I also got the Stuck Vibrating sasung logo. I booted into clockwork recovery after I had this problem, once I saw it working I was calm. Then I wiped data and cache once... 3 times is the normal ammount though according to professionals. I then reinsalled ACS syndicate Rom. This time is stayed on CWM recovery after it finished and asked me what I wanted to do. Reboot, or wipe, or all those options on the CWM main screen. So then I chose to reboot. And it started up perfect. ACS rom is so fast, so smooth, so slick. I love it. And I love the Epic on 2.2. Apps to SD AND flash player... my phone is now good, andi enjoy bing on it. Battery life is average. But I haven't calibrated properly. Best of luck hope that helps you and others. When I read your post I was like Oh snap tha just happened to me! LOL hours later I'm rooted and customi;ng the **** out of my epic. XDA premium APP rules all!

Which new roms ACS came out with?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
The new frozen, with no checkerboarding. EXT 4 Tom.
I was on syndicate rom on eclair. One of the only Tom's I've flashed because of kokanes presentation,and product. I flashed, it owned ..and i stayed with it. On 2.2 it'd smoother,and clean and simple. I'm sold. And I appreciate the rom.

Problem with CWM on ECO5

I did the OTA update to ECO5. I rooted/installed CWM using this. When I restart to CWM it goes through the initial setup, then backs up my files, then for some reason restores some files (which I don't want restored). After it is finished, I reboot the phone and it doesn't go past the Samsung screen. I have to stock flash, update, and root again. I did this 3x so far. I even deleted the CWM folder from my SD card which had the backup folder..what do I do?
Its backing up your files to convert you to an ext4 filesystem. Then it restores all the files. After its done you have to flash an ext4 compatiable kernel it it wont boot you. The stock kernel can not support ext4. So after its done flash whatever rom/kernel combo you want or just a kernel. Then your phone will boot up.

Thanks much for your prompt response. What would be your recommendation for rom/kernal and kernal alone?
Midnight rom is really nice

Its all up to you but if you want stock rom and custom kernel I'd go with genocide by rodderick. I'm actually on acs frozen rom with genocide kernel. Awesome combo.

I have the acs frozen rom currently. Do I just "install zip file" through CWM to get the Genocide Kernal? Does it clear everything if I do so?

Not bricked unless it acts like there is no battery...in other words dead. Go here and try the first couple of posts...the second deals with Heimdall. All the things to try are in there like Odin with no battery, different cable, different port:

Are you powering down and 3 fingering into recovery? I guess you have to at this point. You can't restore a nand backup from recovery? Odin with the thread I posted for you or Heimdall works better.
Alright ill try heimdall and let you know what's what

Should work for you. You will need to grab 7Zip to seperate a tar into the different components for Heimdall.
I would like to thank you guys for all the ideas given seems like the fix was to use a different USB port and I feel like a knumb skull for not thinking of that but I guess I just assumed because the phone was showing in Odin the USB port was not the issue .. and that was not the case .. thanks again!!

Going from ics to gb

So basically I was having issues with my phone and ended up getting a warranty replacement. So b4 I sent my old one back I needed to revert it back to stock. I found a flashable zip from zedomax that returned the stock kernel, recovery, and ROM. Only thing it was 2.3.5 gingerbread. I was running infamous 3.1 and did darkside super wipe and cache., well after flashing the zip I got the stock recovery, and part of stock boot animation, well after the stock boot animation then came the infamous animation then nothing. It wouldn't boot up past that.,I ended up using Odin and fixing it and converted stock that way. My question is... Is there a special method going from ics to gb?

Yeah just use odin or a flashable zip to return to stock no big deal

don't use the CWM flashable zips. if you do you should flash the rom and kernel too? you probably did but sometimes it doesn't work correctly. I would suggest flashing via odin to get to stock then wipe data/factory reset through stock recovery. that is the cleanest method to get to stock. the CWM flashing to zip sometimes leave stuff behind from earlier flashes.
