Next time, do a quick search before. The answer was in a few threads about EB13.
Read, it's been posted.

Incorrect. We do have an ext4 /rfs kernel for eb13. It was compiled yesterday IIRC. Problem is, if you root with cwm3 from bone stock, you have a soft bricked epic...
EDIT: maybe root with cwm2.1.5 then flah the new kernel, THEN convert to ext4/cwm3

yea i dont think ext4 works with eb13 i had everything set up and decided to root with cwm3 and it was good but once i booted up it was stuck on samsung mobile screen...i meen i could be wrong im no pro...so im restoring back to 2.5 with eb13...
So I guess rygran87 is the only one running ext4 on eb13? Lol

I just had a problem when I booted into CWM 3.0.0.6 and converted to EXT4. I wanted to preform a backup. I had no intent to flash any rom. However I got stuck on the samsung boot screen and the recovery didnt work. So, I odined back to stock EC05 and I want to know, if I got to CWM 3.0.2.5 root will I have to flash a rom? Or can I continue with the stock and preform my backup.

Don't quote me but I believe you have to flash a stock ROM after if you want to stay rooted-stock. EXT4 & RFS are both available. The videos explain this whole process. Give a watch, it may save you time.

You can stay stock and rooted. So you got it working huh?
Do you BONSAI?
If u want to stay stock but rooted with ext4 u need to flash a dual boot kernel that support both ext4 and rfs if not u need a ext4 rom. But if u want rfs u can do the 1 click root with 3.0.25 and be good to go

EDIT: Can I have a link to a stock EC05 if possible I know that sounds lazy
No, no more EXT4 for this guy. He just wants root for wifi tether.
Root with 2.5.x for best results. 3.0.2.5 also states for RFS use and will not convert you to EXT4.

Ok kennyglass123, you been so much help today, I think im set now! Also thanks to all of you who chipped in to this problem.
Solution: Accidently did CWM 3.0.0.6 to run through the process which in turn screwed up all my plans. The final solution was to re odin back to pure stock. Then root with CWM 3.0.2.5 all I needed was stock, but rooted for wifi tether and other root required apps =D
Thanks again to kennyglass123 for helping me with my multiple issues today.

Man...I feel we been through it together today. Glad you are set.

Ok, so the new Stock EL30 + modem is out... but it does not include CWM or root.
Could someone tell me what the fastest route from that stock reload to CM9 would be? I don't need the super detailed steps... just maybe references to the right working root thread followed by the CWM and MTD jump?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im sure there are a bunch of different approaches... maybe someone has it down pat?
Flash the gb3a.tar flash cwm5 through odin...flash cm9 boot back into cwm and flash the gapps viola back on cm9.

Thank you for the reply... so could you help me a little?
What is gb3a?
Also, would ODINing the CWM5 automatically bring me to MTD? If not, I don't think CM9 auto-converts... or does it?
Thanks again.
In the xda search "epic gb kernel sources" and look for the thread with that title by mkasick. Find the .tar download it.
Flashing the cwm5 will allow you to flash cm9 and cm9 will check your partition and convert you to mtd.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Ok... so... you think this will work?
1. ODIN new EL30 stock w/Modem w/ repartition
2. ODIN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307980&highlight=mkasick (gb3a in pda slot??)
3. ODIN CWM (in pda slot??)
4. Boot CWM and flash CM9
5. Boot CWM and flash Gapps
does that look right?
Are you already on mtd? If so repartition if still on bml do not.
And yes you hit the nail on the head

Yep, currently on EI22 modem with MTD and CM9 alpha 2.
Want to flash the stock and get the new modem then go to Alpha 4. So yeah, I will need to re-partition.
Thanks again... if this goes smooth (I will likely test it tonight), I will put it out in general as a guide and credit you for the guidance.
Um dude you can just download the el30 modem.tar for odin and flash it no need to re root just flash the newest alpha if you'd like.

I'm pretty sure you cannot do that if you are MTD... unless you want a soft brick.
I think all ODIN activity is supposed to be done BML only.
Speaking of, the CWM is BML only... does the CM9 convert the CWM? I know CM7 does, but not sure about CM9.
Nope I just odined ec05 eh17 and el30 to test on mtd and I'm still talking with ya so no soft bricks here

Hmmm. well that would save me a LOT of time then. And I just watched the QBKING vid, so looks like it is doable. Another question... I noticed he used ODIN 1.61. Can 1.85 be used?

No that is incorrect. Modem flashing through clockwork is through BML or BML flashable CWM. You can Odin anytime and any modem (except EI22 since we don't have a modem bin for that).

So I was on the people's rom 2.0 and i decided to try and odin fc09 but I didnt realize i had to check re partition for mtd and now...well, you guys probably know what happened. So it reboots and everythings back to stock as far as I can see and now Im in Android system recovery <3e> but dont see any options to back up my rom or anything. Can anyone help me out? I'm really freaking out. Thanks much in advance.

You can go to the development sub and click on the clockwork mod thread. Download the oden flashable version. Follow the directions in that thread.
You can restore your backup once you do that.
Don't boot your phone or it erases your recovery.
Could you give me a link? I saw several different ones and I don't want to make another stupid mistake haha and I'm on ginger bread

so i have made up my mind i am switching to the epic miss the big screen... and my question is what rom do i need to be on in order to activate i had some issues with activating last time on my rooted evo 4g i want to make this activation as quick and smooth as possible any responses would be greatly appreciated
Stock FC09. Or you could be on the Peoples ROM. Should be any stock touchwiz rom will allow you to switch the phone over to another line.

Positive... the hands free activation is present on all touchwiz roms. But if your buying an Epic and plan on manually entering its ESN on your Line then you will need a touchwiz ROM to use the Dialer Codes they direct you to use. Its not too hard. Did it with my old epic when i got my Gnex... put my epic on another Line.
no it's my wifes phone i am swapping phones for the shift with the epic and it's already rooted with thunderbird 2.2 or something can you link me the stock rom i can just flash in cwm this forums has so much unorginization it is confusing to me..

This is literally like the cleanest Forum i've seen you want to see unorginized go to the Gnex forums. Its Thunderhawk, btw.
Here is the stock prerooted FC09 Rom that you can flash through CWM.

You might want to confirm wether or not your on BML or MTD.... before just flashing whatever otherwise you will brick the phone.
thanks sorry about the noob question's how can find out what i am on?

Should be able to tell in the about phone.. see if you can find anything that says MTD in it. Otherwise go to her applications and tell me what the full amount of space is there.. if its MTD it should be around 670mb's (both installed apps and free space) If its alot less than its BML. If on BML you can flash either.. if on MTD you can only flash MTD.
I am guessing you are on BML. I seem to remember that ROM from the Froyo days. You may want to upgrade to CWM 5.0.2.7 and flash a current ROM from development like The People's ROM (cheap plug).

well i don't see anything and i guess she is on random rom ei22 or something and 322 mb free when i open up manage applicatoins..
Have you made a cwm backup? If not go ahead and do it. Then go into the clockworkmod\backup folder and click on the backup to open it. If is says yaffs2 in the filenames that is MTD. If rfs or ext4 then you are on BML.

No like I said if you flash BML on MTD then you soft brick the phone. Then and only then but if you flash MTD over BML it will convert you to MTD.
Mtd is a partition map as well as bml. Ext4 is a file system that bml uses. However mtd uses yaffs2.
