For the last two nights, I've tried to flash with this ROM (first ROM flash, the phone was purchased Saturday) and everything seems to going just like the YouTube video provided by qbking77, until the restart. On restart, the phone will stay on the screen that says, "Samsung" that you get when you restart the phone normally. the night before last, I lost patience after about 30 minutes and Odined everything back to stock. Last night, I let the phone try to restart all night and this morning, it was still stuck on the same screen.
Two questions about this. One, is this a normal length of time for the first time flashing a ROM? If not, what is? Two, What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for your advice (for course, I will give a "thanks" to answers).

I was running EC05. I coppied the ZIP file to my SD card, set the handset to UBS Diagnostics, ran the "run.bat", in CW3.whatever from my PC, cleared all three caches, three times, and loaded the ZIP file from the SD chip. I thought that CW3 converted to ext4.

If you're capable of using Odin, then just use the Odin CWM link in my signature. From there, you can flash a pre-rooted EB13 Deodexed Stock with CWM 3. You can update it to EC05, before you flash, after, or never, and you'll be fine.
I also have Syndicate Rom Frozen linked in my signature.
That should work for you.
I'll give that a shot when I get home and let you know how that works.
One of the things I did, was just reflash the ROM right overtop itself.
I have flashed this ROM many times, and every now and then the first flash wont take for whatever reason, I just pull the battery, go back into CWM, and reflash the ROM again right overtop itself, and it normally works.
note: boot times longer than 5-10 and you got an issue
Also, make sure you are using Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.6 and not version 2.5.5, as 2.5.5 does not support EXT4, and I think that the ROM is EXT4
Odin a prerooted ec05 ext4 tar, I have 2 diff packages here on xda.. then flash srf over that.. good to go. I wouldn't even mess with the eb13 tar, because then you have to odin the modem again seperately...

That might be my issue, since the version that I was Odining was EB13 and then the carrier updated to EC05. That actually makes sense (although, I don't really know what the "under-the-hood" differences between the two are).

You would think, but I actually got a better official update to EC05 during my tests. Regardless, I actually have found EB13 to have better signal.
Either way, pre-rooted should make it easy for you.
Random,
Once I figured out exactly the steps to take, everything worked! WOOT! A thousand thanks to everybody who input in this!
For anybody out there having the same problem, follow these steps:
0) Download and install the drivers for your Samsung Epic 4G (Found here).
1) Download the ROM
2) Either copy the whole ZIP file onto your microSD Chip by using your USB cable or by unmounting it and using the SD slot adapter and plugging into the appropriate slot on your computer. (Just place it in the root directory)
3) Click on RandomKing's link above in his signature that says "CWM Odin" (this is a pre-rooted Sprint stock ROM)
4) Uncompress the file onto your Desktop (it's an RAR file, so you're going to need either WinRAR or 7ZIP).
5) Turn your phone off and unplug your USB Cable.
6) While holding the "1" key, power up the handset (you'll get a funny looking icon of the Android shoveling)
7) Plug in your phone in to a soldered USB port (as in ON THE BACK of the machine).
8) Double click the Odin3+v1.61 file.
9) Add the .pit file to the "pit" box.
10) Add the other file to the "PDA" box.
11) Click "Start" button.
12) Wait for it to finish and reboot.
13) Reboot again, this time your going to use the "3-button-power-on" (While holding the down volume button and the camera button, power on the phone)
14) Clear your caches (three times each: data/factory reset, cache partition and Dlavik cache [that's under advanced], by scrolling to them in the menu and pressing the camera button)
15) Select "Install zip from SD Card"
16) Choose your ROM and press the camera button
17) This should take something less than 15 minutes total, including restart
18) Enjoy your New Phone!
What version of the ROM are you trying to flash? I was having the same issue when I tried to flash the "journaling" version of the rom that is posted over on ppc geek. No matter what I did It would hang at the Samsung logo.

I was using EC05, but I used the Odin in the post above mine to get a pre-flashed EB13 build of Froyo. Then I just did exactly what I wrote. I hope this helps and I'm sorry about taking so long to get back to you.

i don't think so. the stock roms are rfs only.
Be sure to put the syndicate rom or another ec05 rom on the phone's sd card before converting to ext4 with clockword mod recovery 3. if you already converted by accident use odin to odin back to ec05 with ext4 and and root precooked in. before you do this back up your data with clockwork or something else if you can still boot into android.

I you want to root and keep the stock rom you can use one of the pre-rooted odin files. This will wipe your phone and take it back to stock rooted EC05 with RFS.
Here are instructions and links to the pre-rooted ec05 odin

Thanks to crawrj for answering a question in general that lead me to the source.
1) Download Odin
2) Download and Install Windows Drivers 32bit | 64 bit
3) Download the EC05_DXC.tar.rar
4) Extract the "EC05_DXC.tar.rar" file to a folder on your hard drive to get the necessary "EC05_DXC.tar.md5" file located inside.
5) Shut down your device
6) Boot into download mode (Hold number 1 on physical keyboard and press power)
7) Start Odin
8) Plug in device via USB cable to computer, (if it's done right you should see a yellow Com device light up in one of the rectangular boxes)
9) Place the "EC05_DXC.tar.md5" in the PDA slot on Odin
10) Check Auto Reboot ONLY
12) Click start and this should only take about 2-3 minutes to complete.
13) Wait for the green light in the Com device/rectangular box and the "Pass" to show.
When completed it should reboot into Froyo EC05, with a fresh system.

If you already put CWM3 on, boot into Clockwork with 3 finger salute and go to backup and restore, restore, and pick the before ext4 conversion file and it will bring you back so you can root with CWM 2.5.x.

OK, do you have a card reader? If so, pull the battery out of the phone, download the EC05 flashable ROM with root from the thread below. Copy it to your sd card. Put the card back in. Boot by holding camera, volume down, and power. Should be orange lettered screen. Scroll down to install zip from sd card, choose that, then choose zip from sd card, then choose the file you just put on and install it.
This should put a prerooted EC05 system on your phone.
well i used the other guy post using odin and the EC05_DXC.tar and works. but the my question here i bootup and install rom manager and flash cwm 2.5.1.0 can i still restore what i had previous backuped?

Don't use ROM manager. It does not work properly on the Epic. Got this from developers here. You should be able to restore your backup if it was made when your system was known good.
well so your saying dont use rom manager to install the recovery?

I wouldn't...lots of problems with different versions of clockwork. But if that is where you made the backup....
You could try using the 3 finger salute to get to clockwork and see if your backup is there then restore it.
right now trying to restore back what i previously had. before my gf gets back from work and before she start yelling at me for deleting all of her apps she download... and i didnt backup any of them lol.
Hi, I've been trying to flash my Epic 4G Touch for days now but after 2 nights without sleeping, including right now at 3:56am,
I still haven't found out how to do so. I've been searching and found a website to root and flash my recovery, I'm using Team-Rogue CWM Recovery, I used
Odin3Execution x1.81 to install my rooted EL29 stock ROM which works but I can't seem to flash no matter where I place the files on my phone.
I have another Odin that I found online called Odin3 v182 that has a lot more stuff on it like: pda, bootloader, phone, csc, etc. but I don't know what it's for.
I'm completely new at this so VERY detailed steps would be AMAZINGLY appreciated, and I could actually go to sleep...-_-...drowsy...

It seems like you are making the simple thing much complicated.
1. There are two different ways flashing the Rom. Using Rogue recovery is one and another one is using odin.
2. If you want to use the Rogue, you must place the rom zip file into your internal SD card or external. You can find out many rooted zip files from the development section.
3. Using odin also not that difficult. For this, you need to download the one-click self-extract package exe file. These files also available from the development section. Download it to your PC, execute it from PC. It will create a foler name 'odin'. Connect your phone to pc thru micro usb and put the phone into download mode (vol down + power at the same time). run the program from pc. click the vol up button to continue. If odin program from your pc shows the com port, then just click the 'start' button from pc.
Maybe it's your first time flashing the rom. So, it may looks complicated, but actually it's simple steps once you are used to these steps. So, choose the method first - zip or odin. Select the rom from development section and check the instruction for that specific rom. Just follow the instruction on the same page where the downloadable file provided.
For any more questions, please don't hesitate.
Thanks for replying

I'm sorry I just tried flashing last night and got hanged on the galaxy s2 logo, also forgot to create a nandroid, but I just reinstalled my stock EL29 with root and I'm going to try again.

2.move the ROM/kernel .zip file into external_sd on my phone
3.go to CWM recovery and select install zip from sd card
4.proceeded with the flash, as well as Zedomax V3 kernel flash, and got

5.reinstall stock EL29 with root

I honestly having been reading into this for about a whole week straight, 7 day week, and I slept only 2 of those days because people were being vague about their instructions so I couldn't seem to even transfer the files into my external_sd card in .zip format. The files kept showing as individual files where you could enter each and every one of them but not able to use them.
I barely got it this morning, to flash, but then I got hung up on the boot and had to reinstall the EL29 stock w/root and now I'm going to try and use a different ROM and actually CLEAR the cache, davik cache, and data. Plus backup using the Nandroid in Team Rogue CWM and titanium backup.
I still don't know exactly why it got hung up though so if you know I'd be really grateful!
I'll try it this time

Currently kernel may not support the Zedomax.
Did you try odin method to apply the flash the new kernel?
(Be careful to put the right file to the right place for odin. Putting files to wrong place could be a reason of bricked phone)

I'm planning on doing the flash right now, just finished backing up on titanium backup, and I just transferred the ROM on my phone.
Did I place it correctly?
I connected the phone using USB mass storage and open the file explorer to view my phones files then I opened "External_SD" which was empty and placed my ROM there.

Thank you for your help.

Whew! That's a lot of work Dave. Easy trip: Odin to EL30 with repartition checked and include PIT file. Boot up to make sure everything is cool. Flash the FC09 update.zip. Shut down. Odin the CWM5 tar with reboot box unchecked. When Odin passes, remove cord, pull battery then put it back in, 3 finger into CWM5 and flash The People's ROM v2.0 MTD. That should get you all you need.
Edit...one person had the same problem as you and flashed CleanGB MTD first. Not the norm but may help your case.
OP have you double checked the MD5 on the People's ROM download?
Sounds like what happens when you try to go from MTD to a BML rom through CWM.
Also, the FC09 .tar is out in Development and would save you some major time

You should go to The Peoples Rom thread and read a little someone had a similar problem but he performed Battery CPR and got it back up and running. Thanks to our helpful Devs! Would link you to it but I'm not currently able....hope this helps.
Sent from my OG Epic using XDA Premium.....
Yes, exactly that. Popping the battery in and out while trying to get the phone into download mode often resets something and it will work. Also leaving it alone for awhile then trying again often works. If and when you get into download mode, there is an FC09 full tar in Development now and of course I recommend including the PIT and repartition at this point. Make sure you have a better than stock cable as well.
I have tried using the Odin OC version, and also installing a stock zip from ACSyndicate, and using Odin v.1.85. I have yet to get the ICS update, and I am also unable to create folders on the desktop for some reason with each install. I have no idea what is going on.
The process I used was putting my phone in download mode, running Odin as an admin, plugging in the phone, and clicking start on the 2.3.6 OdinOC file from the wiki (non-rooted), or putting the D710USEL29_20120105151142_Stock file in PDA in Odin 1.85, making sure only autoreboot was checked, and then clicking start. All flashes were successful. I have also tried doing a factory/data wipe in recovery after the stock flash, as well. I have a GB recovery installed when doing this, if it matters. I am also running Windows 7 64 bit.
In regards to the ICS OTA, I live on the East coast, so it may not have hit here yet.
Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!

First off wrong section, this should be in Q & A. And are you saying you're trying to get back to stock GB? With Gingerbread you can't create folders on the desktop like you can with ICS. And the OTA update will be slowly rolled out. Not everyone is going to get it at the same time. What is it that you're trying to ask about anyways?
IBTL! But check the last post by sfhub as he created a one click for the official release.

I am trying to go back to stock GB. I had folders for items when I was stock, so I know you can create them...but I forgot you have to create them differently. I guess everything is okay then. Sorry this is in the wrong section. Thanks for the replies!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276645

2)I boot in ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.8
3)I did full wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik cache
4)choose Use exSD to install zip file
then I see this (for 10sec):
Installing: /external_sd/d2tmo_T999UVDMD5.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Install from sdcard complete.

all this update took 10sec
then I hit reboot
and I see Samsung logo and nothing else for 25min.
I remove battery and all the same
The Volume down+home+power key is still working as well as the volume up+home+power key.
Please help
Try to dOwnload to the computer then transfer the Rom to the sd card and flash from there. Maybe a bad download.

When you were wiping cache, dalvik cache and did a factory reset you forgot to wipe system.
It takes a lot longer than 10 seconds to flash any rom.
Good luck!

Like I said, you still have not wiped "system"
also flash from internal SDcard not the external.
Put the zipfile on the root of your internal sdcard
do a full wipe/factory reset/wipe dalvik/wipe cache and then WIPE SYSTEM
Then flash the zipfile rom from INTERNAL SDCARD

to find wipe or format system

if it still is not working, then your CWM has something wrong with it.
You really should install Goomanager and use TWRP instead of CWM its so much better.

Before I give you step by step instructions, have you ever flash a rom using ODIN ?

ok, here are the instructions. This is the new PRE-ROOTED T999 4.1.2 odin flash rom which was released yesterday.
Easy and sure way to return your phone to stock rooted condition: Here is the step by step guide:
After you have followed these instructions your phone will be in stock condition with the benefit of being rooted.
Download the stock Samsung Galaxy S3 Jellybean v4.1.2 T999 stock-rooted firmware: http://d-h.st/Arn
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must have a a lot of patience!!!)

takes only a minute or two.

here is the odin flash UVDLJC radio/modem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6c3e0vdvq1oy10z/TMOGalaxyS3_UVDLJC_Modem.zip
And if it still doesnt boot, wipe data, dalvik, etc again after flashing your rom. Then reboot again. Doesnt always do it, but definitely worth trying.
Also, what version of android were you running before trying that rom? That is also often caused by an incompatible kernel. So if you were running ICS or CM, and you didnt flash the correct kernel, that will very likely be the problem.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
All the custom ICS/JELLYBEAN , and CM, aokp/aosp roms comes with kernels, so if those roms are defective it has nothing to do with odin flashing this stock rooted rom with the included kernel, modem and everything else it needs to work properly.
Be sure to make a nandroid backup of it once you get it working properly, and before you do anything else to the phone.
Yeah, I just thought id throw that out t here in case anyone else runs into similar issues.
Plus, im the type where even if doing one thing solves the problem, I still want to know what caused it to begin with!
Ive been seeing you all over these boards helping folks out and wanted to say you rock for all youre doing! :thumbup:

Thanks, I kinda like helping, but sometimes I help too much and get BASHED for doing it. LOL
But it's OK, it's all part of this XDA game here.
It's just too bad that each thread here does not have a live text "CHAT" option like in the newsgroups... That would be even more fun!

the funny thing is I did nandroid backup Before I "flash" this rom - I try to restore it now, but it says that MD5 is mismatch (and I didnt even rename folders/files in this back up) . I google it and found that I need to empty content of .md5 file before restore - and that did the trick. I restored successfully back to my previous v4.1.1 UVDLJC.
Now if anybody can help me to apply "Stock Deodexed T999UVDMD5".zip again? I just would like to know why it didnt work???

#1: copy the Stock Deodexed rooted T999UVDMD5".zip to the root directory of your INTERNAL SDCARD
#2: download Goomanager from the play store (a free app)
#3: open goomanager and click the menu button then select
"installopenrecoveryscript" from the menu and wait until it
get's done, keep a close eye on the phone cause when it's done
it will display tiny text on bottom of screen saying "successful".
#4: there is an option in goomanager to reboot into recovery do
that and you will see the TWRP recovery when the phone reboots.
After that it's self explanatory.
Remember to do a full wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik cache and wipe or format "system".
Then you can flash the new 4.1.2 stock rooted deoxidized Jellybean T999 rom.
don't worry about the modem, this stock rooted rom does not contain any so it will use your existing one.
