You are supposed to flash the compatible ROM BEFORE rebooting. Turn off the phone, boot back into CWM with 3 finger and flash the EXT4 compatible ROM.

I never had a ROM on it jut rooted it.
I want the stock stuff just rooted so I can get the wireless tether.

That was kind of an important part of the OP on CWM 3.0.0.6. You need to pick a ROM that is EXT4 compatible, download it onto your computer, pop the sd card out of your phone, put it in a card reader on your computer and copy the ROM to it and then put it back into the phone and boot with 3 finger salute and choose install zip from sd card and flash the ROM.
Or you can Odin a prerooted EC05 stockish ROM for that.

An upgrade to CWM 3.0.2.5 will fix the problem?
*know how to upgrade from a previous post*

Here is a stock EC05 ROM for EXT4 you can Odin in:

Odin instructions are here:

Yhe important thing is not to panic. We will fix this.

There are also videos on how to's here:

Yah, rather not re odin as I just did from a bad rom so I had decided to stay stock except for root, will CMW 3.0.2.5 fix my problem?

Yes, this may work. You are just having that kind of day, huh? Do you have access to a card reader on your computer?

I thought we had you all set with CWM 3.0.2.5? How did you end up with CWM 3.0.0.6?

Thats what I said! Idk how I got there let me put it on. Give me about 10 minutes.

I must be hungry...I just thought of something. Go into CWM and go to restore. There is a file there which says beforeEXT4 or something like that. Restore that and then put the other CWM 3.0.2.5 on and you should be good.

It wont let me do that.
Says no files found etc.

Is your sd card still in your phone? The conversion to EXT4 makes a backup on your sd card.

Yup i saw cwm saying it was creating a backup
when i go to clockworkmods/backup/
its there but says when i try to flash it as .zip no files found.

Not flash...restore. Go to backup and restore, restore then pick that file.

Got the error while flashing boot image.

you should have thought about it.
only thing I can think of is trying to flash a official HTC RUU update so you will get back to stock and will have to re-root.
If you have wiped everything and re-flashed then I dont know what else to suggest.

Yeah, I guess that its my best chance. Do you know which files that has to be on the SD for fake-flash and where I can find them?
just need the update.zip on the root of the card.
Have u tryed using AM recovery?
If u load it like the clockwork recovery u can partiotion your sd-card in recovery mode,
works every time for me ;-)
http://www.multiupload.com/61STV8CPHL <-- fake flash version just like clockwork but whit partitioning options.

Yes that could work, if the ROM you have flashed requires a ext partition, it will boot loop if you dont have a SD card in. So use clockwork to re-partition the card with a ext.

Im on DeFrost right now, does it require ext? I have to find a micro sd reader then I get right on partitioning.
Edit: I've been thinking if this don't work. Is it possible for someone to make an image of their full rom so that I can try and flash that? Because what I've understood the ones that are up for downloading e.g. DeFrost are not 100% complete.
Maybe some developer know's what could cause a boot loop so I (with some help) could make a flash containing just those files.
u can also try booting recovery, mount SD-USB..
remove update.zip from your root sd.
Place the file i posted above in your root (rename to update.zip ofc's)
Restart phone and enter recovery again (now u get a new recovery) go to partition menu and repartition your SD.
I loooove this forum! Thanks for all the help people, reformat the sd solved my problem. Thanks a thousand times!

I will pay for a moto expert

Lol post it too... I would like to know how to combat bootloop aswell...
The fastest way, assuming that you have an external SD card reader and can put this file on your SD from your computer is the following:
Download This : TMobile Update Thanks to BeachHead for modifying it.
Once downloaded rename it to Update.zip.
Place in root of SDCard.
Hold the volume down button and turn the phone on. Press in the corner to get into the recovery mode. On the options select the update.zip. Let the process begin. The file is modified to not check for things. This will reload all of the firmware as well as the system. After that is done, do a factory reset. Your phone should now boot to 2.2 . If this does not work let me know and I'll do the more involved guide.

I flashed the SBF 2.2 BOOT and it booted to the T-Mo screen which is where it is currently stuck. I'll give it a few minutes.
I got where you are at now. Download this SBF and flash it. http://www.multiupload.com/ZZ4TU8W7UQ
Its is the earlier leaked TMobile build. Once you have flashed this root your phone and install clockwork. Let me know when all of that is done. I should be done with dinner by then and can help the rest of the way. You will need the zip file I posted earlier as well as the 2.2 nandroid backup. Leave the Update.zip in the root of your sdcard, and put the nandroid backup in the apkrev folder on the sdcard. Once those are in place, boot into clockworkmod. Wipe system and cache. Then do a restore of the 2.2 Nandroid. Do not reboot yet. Now apply the update.zip. Do not reboot yet. Now do another system wipe. Now reboot the phone. You should be all set to go.
Dude it was actually fine. It loaded up and worked perfectly, I have FroYo and you are the man! Now I have a camera problem.

You have to boot the right firmware. I realized that last night. You need to get that update.zip file to run and bring the proper firmware inline with the system image. I was screwing around last night playing with the different combos, and discovered that it wasn't mapping resources right. I lost use of my SD card.

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
Android_Central said:
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.

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.

You could try using the 3 finger salute to get to clockwork and see if your backup is there then restore it.

Well I'm certain it is.
IF all else fails, go to the link on your evo, then download the zip from your phone, make your backup, do a full wipe, then locate it in the folder when you flash.
I'm almost certain it's an issue with your SD card. I've seen it before, but just recently remembered what the problem was. Sorry for the late reply, I was at work.
Backup everything on your card to your computer, this will erase all of your files. Also try to have a full battery, this could take some time depending on the size of your SD card, the class, and the number of files. Then, boot into recovery and select partition SD card (I can't remember where it is, sorry). If you move apps to your SD card - which I think is kind of necessary with the ginormous Sense 3.0 roms - use a larger size for the Ext partition. I never move apps to my SD card, so I set mine to the smallest option other than zero. For the swap size you can use the default 32mb - you may want to look into this more to see if there's a more recommended size.
When it finishes partitioning, go back to the main screen in recovery, plug your phone into your computer and select USB-MS toggle. This will mount your SD card so you can move files back to the SD card. If you're using Windows, it may want to scan and fix the card... just skip it. If you want to save time and/or battery, you can power down the phone and use a card reader instead. Then you can try to restore/make a nandroid backup or flash a rom - it should work.
Good luck, hope you get it fixed!

Download MikG 1.04 from http://dev-host.org/lv6fjpxaq9x4/MikG-Sense2.1-v1.04-signed.zip
After downloading the file, get an MD5 checker application such as this one: http://getmd5checker.com/download
The MD5 sum for the zip of MikG 1.04 is: fb81c61a19b5db6d4fa67acbfb17907f
When you run the MD5 check on the downloaded zip, it should match.
If it doesn't then the download is corrupted.
If it does match but you're still having issues flashing it, then there's a pretty good chance that it's the SD card. MicroSD cards are a dime a dozen nowadays so it should be pretty trivial to get some other card that you can pop in and try to flash with.

[Backup] Stock Rom

Here is a stock rom backup for the Sprint G S III. I made the backup after doing a data wipe, so the rom is pure, no lingering data, ect.
Instructions:
-unzip the .zip file
-move the backup folder into your existing CWM folder on the S III internal memory
-restore in recovery
Again, this is a stock backup as some people need it.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/fresh_GSIII_backup.zip
From my dropbox, so hit it easy.

How is this in any way a stock rom?

Give him a break. At least this isn't in development.
And he at least did something that could be useful until we get a real stock rom .zip or .tar

It's not, it's a backup. That's not the point, it's still useful to many users that have possibly screwed their device but still have access to recovery. Especially until something official comes out.
will there be a stock package on odin different than just the stock boot image? my phone is bricked for no apparent reason(see my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731416) and flashing the stock boot image in odin does nothing. i Also cant get into CWM to flash my backup...

Eventually there will be, but a lot of people [to include major developers] still don't have the phone yet, so we'll have to be patient. I looked over it, though currently are you able to get into recovery still or no? Additionally did you try re-flashing the cwm recovery in odin?
I can get into download mode but not into CWMR. The only thing i have tried flashing since it bricked is boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar (which sort of worked the first time). I'm at work and don't have my phone on me so i guess i could try flashing CWMR again later but this is really weird. Thanks for the reply. This is my first Sprint phone, but on my Droid X we had a program similar to Odin where you could push a .sbf file that included everything stock and basically just reset your phone to stock. Do these exist for Sprint phones? The . SBF files were usually rather large(around 350mb or so) but the boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar is around 10 or 15 mb so i know it doesn't include all the system files...
Thanks again

Lol i just replied the same thing over on another thread he posted in. Stop jumping around pizzle! if you can get into Odin chances are good you can flash cwm and then restore the backup
hahaha sorry about that. When I try and boot into recovery it looks like its about to go to Recovery and then freezes on the Galaxy S III screen. I'll try reflashing CWMR when I get home...Thanks for the advice
So is a back up a nandriod?
I have made a few but never resorted one, you just flash it same as a ROM and your done?
I misplaced my stock nandroid when I flashed CM10 build 2 and my extFs SD card had to be formatted to use again, I was sure I had in on PC but can't find it.
Thanks!
