Can't get ROM's to flash, can someone help?

I picked up an Epic today, and for the life of me, I cant seem to get things to flash right. I'm no stranger to this sort of thing (G1, MTS, HD2, NS4G)... but this phone is just giving me trouble.
First time I tried things, I followed everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680
The oneclick worked without a problem, the rom appeared to flash fine in clockwork, but would not boot. I'd get the samsung logo, then a black screen, and there i'd sit. Couldn't get past it. After several wipes and reflashes, I decided to start over and Odin back to stock.
So now, on round two, I followed this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967. Same idea, just, as I understand, a newer version of clockwork? Again, root and clockwork installed fine. I followed the instructions to convert to EXT4 to the letter, which all went without error. I then flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873347. I made sure to get the EXT4 version. Flashed, rebooted, and it gets stuck at the Samsung logo.
So, odin back to stock again. Can anyone help me try to figure out what I am missing here? I've followed all instructions completely to the letter, and the best I can tell I'm using the correct roms. Any ideas?

Maybe simple, but I know in the clockwork menu when you are flashing the rom there are two choices that look similar. One is update and one update from zip. Make sure you are choosing the right one.

I'm choosing the right one. I've got plenty of experience finding my way around clockwork, which is why i'm so baffled as to why this isn't working. I'm no stranger to the steps involved here. Either I'm not understanding something, or i'm flashing the wrong roms. Just trying to figure out where i'm going wrong.

What ROMS have you tried?

Just two two linked in the first post.

So, I got the RFS version of Supernova to flash (but without root?). My problem seems to be lying within EXT4. Any ideas?

If you used CWM 3.0.2.5 it does not convert to EXT4. You have to run another script to convert before flashing an EXT4 ROM. You have to flash the ROM before booting right after the conversion.

Try running this script from CWM just make sure you have the ext4 room you want to use on the card LOL yes I have made that mistake DOH!

Try using clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 and flash sfr 1.1.1 again.... On sfr 1.1.1 do NOT wipe anything before you flash

Appears to have worked this time, its booting now. Thanks for the help guys!

Well... I broke it. I'm rather confused by how things work with this phone.
I did what ya'll said, and as told, did not wipe (despite reaaaally wanting to.) The rom booted and such, but I had lots of problems. I attributed this to lack of wiping. I really wanted a fresh go.
So, I decided to try again. I wiped and reflashed this rom. Now... won't boot again, just sits on a black screen. I don't get it. Why am I not allowed to wipe data when using this rom?

+1 what he said also after u flash you might want to enable journaling

Where your phone seems to be a little temperamental I would recommend it for the best experience.

It says on the rom page not to wipe... I didnt wipe coming from midnight rom and acs script took care of everything while flashing... I havent had one fc and no problems yet.... I wonder what the issue is
Sent from my Evo Killer using XDA Premium App

Decided to just completely start from scratch. I did exactly this:
Odin back to stock
One-click 3.0.2.5
RFS2EXT4
Flash SFR-1.1.1
Didn't wipe anything, this is ALL I did. This worked. I still don't understand why I had all this trouble in the first place? Is it the phone, or am I doing something I shouldn't? It seems like the issue is with wiping before flashing. So, what happens if I want to try a different ROM? I can't imagine I need to Odin back to stock every time...

What does this do? Doing a google search gave me instructions on how to enable/disable journaling, but it's not a term i'm familiar with and nothing actually explained why I'd want to do this.

This issue is with stock EC05. It has something weird going on especially the OTA that requires wiping. Same for the new Bonsai release, wipes only needed colming from stock EC05.
Do you BONSAI?

Journaling allows for the extra write to the phone so there is no corruption if you have to pull the battery or you drop it and the battery falls out. If it is not enabled then you might get a lot of FC's after replacing battery and booting up. Also FYI with this phone when you shut it off and the screen is black and the home lights are out it is NOT truly OFF until you fell the quick VIBRATION then it is truly off.
You shouldn't have to go back to stock each time but it seems that you might be having some other issue. You using the stock USB cable? Might want to get a good one from a store other then Sprint. Just a suggestion I have seen a ton of issue's related to the stock cable.

Soooooo ICS....safe yet?

Well I've had my replacement phone for a few days now. Been reading and keeping a close eye on all the ICS threads. These are a couple of methods I've seen posted more and more frequently to safely flash ICS.
1)Make a backup
2)Full wipe
3)Flash FB whatever
4)Flash FB whatever modem
Now to get back
5)Go into odin download mode
6)Odin El29 tar
7)Boot CWM
8)CWM restore
This next method I'm not to fond of do to Rom Manager being used.
1 thru 4 same steps.
5)Install Rom Manager
6)Flash CWM for AT&TSGS2
7)CWM restore
So what I'm here to find out is has ANY of you that have used one of these methods had any issues. Primarily getting back from ICS.
Really itching to flash some new ICS awesomeness but trying to play it safe also. Not looking to dish out another 100 dollar deductible.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

ive been using ICS since my replacement... i just refuse to flash CWM.
I use Steady Hawkins versions and havent had a problem. Once he releases a fb21 compatible kernel/recovery ill flash.
Be safe and good luck...

LOL oh no Caspersfi!!! You didn't learn your lesson the first time.

Thanks dadoc and jason I'm doin the best I can to sit back man.

Oops how did Caulkins FB21 start downloading?? LOL

Yeah me too, gonna wait for a repacked kernel and CWM for the FB21... Then im all in!

My first attempt at failed badly! But with some praying and Odin, I recovered and flashed a working fb17 over. But I have yet to get a wifi tether to work. That is the only thing that keeps me from using it as my daily.

I haven't bothered with any of the FB stuff; I hate the stock look, and TW in general..
But, I have been on all the CM9 versions so far, and, I gotta say, that aside from occasional LOS, which is easily cured with a program called fresh network,and a so so gps, it pretty much works flawlessly for me...
And, it REALLY looks nice and different!

Here is a video on how to switch for TW to the native ICS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6yZk_szFU7c)
and if you use the de-odex'd rom you can flash this ICS theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506945)

I've been on ICS for a few days now and just went to FB21 today running TNZ's Blend ICS and it runs great. I was a little hesitant to switch too but just remember to nandroid backup, and fully wipe in cwm and your good. Use odin to flash kernels and get back cwm, then use cwm to flash modems, then update profile and prl when done. If you don't like it then just odin back to gb (don't use cwm) and flash a kernel again, then flash whatever rom in cwm that you want.

can wait for a few updates

personally, I've jumped between ICS and stock el29 rooted several times using the second method... I think you should be fine as long as you don't flash touch recovery.

Agreed, I won't let hitman touch my phone until it's fixed.

Ive been using these mostly everything works even sprint tv.. Only thing im missing is wifi tether but usb works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516176

I've flashed around 30 times between FB15, FB17, FB21 and back to EL29 in various combinations while testing the ODIN One-Click packages in my signature and the CWM repacks in the Auto Root thread.
Didn't have any problems, so I think the early flashing issues are avoided as long as fake flashing CWM Touch using update.zip or ROM manager and then subsequently using it to restore or wipe is avoided.

Thanks sfhub, that's good enough for me.
Time to start downloading and flashing some ICS goodness.

[Q] Test drive ICS on samsung epic without losing stock?

I want to try and flash ICS onto my phone, it is rooted on stock, but is there a way i can back up everything on the phone now to the sd card, try ics, then restore the phone to its previous state?

Make a nandroid backup in clock work mod. If you dont have clock work, you will have to install that first. Search the dev thread for the CWM recovery threads

Okay, i have cwm and i have it backed up. so if i download ics and flash it i will be able to restore my old data?

The only reason for this is,it is the way to get back to the BML partition. Once you are back on stock, your back up will work as it should!

MTD? Then you are screwed. You can't get back to stock without Odin or Heimdall. You need to repartition. BUT there is an MTD version of the FB15 leak which should look enough like stock to get you through:

That is the best you can do. You should also do the 2 flashable modems to get you to EL30 and delete Superuser before you bring it in.

Whatever stock-ish MTD rom you flash, make sure you flash data, (factory reset) if you're returning it, might as well.

This thread scares the hell out of me. A bad USB port on your epic is a fatal blow to your potential sprint insurance coverage. I cant think of anything worse, especially if your on MTD. Although, if your paying for insurance, i dont think it should really matter what firmware/rom you have on your device.
To the OP, you should be fine. As long as you can make it look at stock as possible, the average sprint employee is not smart enough to get into specifics. They are usually pretty cool about it. As a matter of fact, the tech at my local sprint store put gingerbread on my phone a week before it was released using odin (this was before I knew anything about flashing or rooting), most of the tech's do exactly what we do, so dont sweat it too much.

let me know which rom you put on i'm pretty much in the same boat i need to take my phone in because i'm having hardware failure

The one I posted a few posts back (post 16) by Bbelos is the closest to complete stock for MTD. Just delete superuser when done. Then you are only left with CWM recovery as evidence.

[Q] How do I ditch cm10?

alrighty then. I have been playing with my phone for about 2 hours now trying to figure out how to get rid of CM10 so I can flash a new ROM. (had to find dev options etc.) I tried flashing a recovery image through the SGS tool kit, still had CM10. I tried re-rooting (not advised, had a small stroke while figuring out if I bricked or soft bricked) I just did a system wipe, also ill advised, it warned me that I had no OS (thats why we make nandroids like good lil boys and girls.)
For the love of Jeebus someone please tell me how to get CM10 off of my phone so I can flash a new ROM. can I un-root and re-root and start from scratch that way? is that proper? is there an easier way? Why am I asking all these questions?! (because no matter what, I will always be a NooB -.-')
I appreciate any insight you guys can give me, thanks in advance!
