I was using Syndicate Frozen Version 1.1.0 with Twilight Zone. I tried the Leaky Gingerbread, it's great but I'll wait until the Samsung crap is gone from it. How do I go back? I've searched everywhere and have NO idea.
Just Odin the EC05 modem, wipe data in Clockworkmod and flash the same as always.

I think you can't flash froyo over gb. I say that because when I was on cm7 a4 I tried it and it failed. The only options are nandroid back or odin. If stock gb is different I'd really like to be corrected.
I can't get CWM to go on my phone. It's not on there at all.
* I'm not even able to do a regular reset or wipe. I rooted with Gingerbreak.
Then I guess you're going to have to ODIN EC05 then flash SFR 1.1.0 from there.

This, because you must have used the ED12 TAR and not the zip version.
I did use the tar. Thank you! I was driving myself crazy.
Glad you got it all sorted out.
I have really hosed my phone and have no idea what is going on. So I have been playing around with the puzzle lock mod and deodexed theme for a couple of days. So today I flashed the blue puzzle lock mod to check it out again. Than I made a few image changes to the theme I was using. Flashed it and it won't boot up. Kept saying force closed on google search and a whole bunch of other apps. So I wiped everything dalvik and all. odined the deodexed file again and applied the theme I was using yesterday before any changes. Same thing. So I repeated the process clearing cache formatting sdcard. I tried everything. I should meantion that the phone works fine before I apply the theme. So I odin stock ec05, rooted and applied the theme I have been using for months and it does the same thing. At some point it stopped force closing and just wouldn't boot past the samsung logo. Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on and how to get this fixed?

You didn't restore any backups after rooting?
Nope. Nothing. I have tried 20 times at least. I just tried a new cable also.
It sounds like that a update hosed the theme. Was there a update to say your launcher? Sorry all I got
No updates. I am using ODIN to put a clean system on. It boots and everything works fine. I boot into clockwork and apply the theme zip. Same one I have been using for months that has always worked. And it won't boot. I just don't get it. I thought ODIN was supposed to wipe the phone clean. If that is so than what is going on?

What root method did you use and is that the same as you had? Did you need to flash a custom kernel first before the theme?
I used the one click root, same one I have always used. I have used the odexed prerooted EC05 and the deodexed prerooted EC05 also. None of them work. No kernels. All stock.

Don't most themes require a custom kernel for things like the boot animation and such?
Not for basic themes. I am not using boot images or anything special. Just image changes mainly. I have never used a custom Kernel. This just doesn't make any sense.

After the changes were done, did you re-sign the apps?
Nope. Didn't make any app changes. And I have tried old themes that I have used before any changes and they don't work.

I would try flashing a custom kernel and see if they work then.
I will try that but like I said I have never used a custom kernel and have never had a problem. I am about to flash the simply-blue-mod-6lockscreens.zip file again to make sure I am not losing my mind. I flashed that file yesterday and earlier today without problems. I am beginning to think something is wrong with the nand or something very serious. I don't know much about this though so I am really lost.
Doesn't ODIN wipe out the nand? If not is there a way to format it?

It may be a bad Odin flash. You could try again and use the .pit and repartition.
I have ODIN'ed more the 20 times now. It looks like it is permissions. I tried fix permissions before but maybe I didn't follow the right sequence or maybe it just took more than once. This time I wiped 3x everything, fixed perms, odin, let boot and sit for a while, boot to cwm and apply theme zip, reboot and it loaded. I am going to try again with the current theme.

Cool. I am just now having a "fix permissions" discussion with another beta tester.
It sounds like odin is working fine and it's the theme that is causing the issue. If you had it working before with that specific combination of firmware+theme and you know it should be working, then it may be the recovery format... What CWM recovery are you using? Is it converting to EXT4, if so is the theme package compatible? I'd recommend using the latest version (if not already) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13746457&postcount=1
it doesn't force EXT4 or RFS. Best of luck.
Using 2.5 same as always. Not on ext4. Something is just not right. It is doing it again. I am not sure what is going on.
WTF. Now I think there is some conspiracy by maddoggin to take over all epics . I can flash simply-blue-mod-6lockscreens.zip with no problem. And if I flash a theme that doesn't work after flashing his theme it works. I could see that in some strange deodexed thing but I have flashed back to stock odex and can't get my odex theme to work either, which has always worked. I am about to go nuts over here.
I did the Calkulin wipe, then flashed the EL13 Modem, then flashed the Blazer ROM 2.0. It boots up (you see the "S") but then it shuts off, it wont go any further. HELP! What did I do wrong? Ive done other ROMs before with no issue.
Did you make a backup?
Get to recovery (pull battery, then hold vol up and power), if no backup reflash the rom. If that ****s on you as well, then get in to download mode and odin back to stock.
I heard rumors of Calkulin putting a virus in the "all format zip" that won't allow your phone to boot back up unless you're flashing one of his roms.
:what::what:

I do have recovery still on it. I actually got into recovery and flashed Calkulins 2.5 ROM. But the modem is now EL13. So I dont get why Blazer wouldn't boot.

Who knows. Bad flash maybe?.... You can always start fresh, that usually works. Sometimes mix matching causes problems.
Bada Bing Bada Boom
What do you mean by "start fresh"? Like factory resetting and rooting through odin all over again...?
virus??... naw if you read the thread it says to flash it on top of earlier versions only that's why he has it beta. I use calkulins format all to flash all roms not just his it always works. that did happen to me though didn't read downloaded the file saw it was EL13 flash it then I was like Wtf good thing I keep other roms as back up flash a different one and tada it worked. (sorry for gramar in a hurry lol)

That's what I personally prefer to do when issues like that pop up. If you flashed the all format and still doesn't work, not much else you can really do, unless just for the hell of it try a different kernel, then try the rom again? .... That's the best advice I have to give...

I believe Blazer 2.0 is only for the EK02. He has released a 2.5 Beta for EL13, but it isn't themed like 2.0 because he is going in a different direction with more themes.
Try flashing the 2.5 Beta and see if that works.
So I got my new Phone In the mail today because my other Epic 4g touch broke.
First thing I do is Load The latest ACS One Click Root/Restore For EL29 and all goes well. Now Im wanting to Load a Custom Rom, so Now i need a Recovery, So I use the E4G Autoloader to Load CWM and all goes well.
Boot into CWM, flash the ROM...reboot and it gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S screen.
I have tried restoring to EL29, EL26, EK02 and then insalling CWM, and all goes well up untill the point of rebooting from ANY ROM flash.... it just stays at the Samsung Galaxy S screen. Tried with CWM and Various other CWM5 variants.
Has any one seen this before? My last 4g touch did nothing like this.
Chris
So here I sit with a Stock Rooted Kernal/Rom (EL29) afraid to load CWM and flash any Rom because it always gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S Screen.
Really wanting a custom rom....
have you tried to use calkulins format all file before flashing the rom? if not try this link it should download it for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=771828&d=1320435068
Yes, I have it loaded on my SD card and use it every time. Iv tried so many combinations.. This is the first time I have had any problem with anything... Hero, Epic, Photon, 1st Epic Touch
This could be a re-man Phone because I got it via Insurance when my last one broke....think they could have done something to it?...even so I can ODIN/Restore to any EK02, EL26/29 and everything is fine.
I'd say I would be good with it cause they come rooted when using the ACS One Click, but I want a custom rom.
Chris
Sorry man then I don't know how to help you. That's the best I have for you. Best of luck ;-)

Don't use the one click root method just use Odin to root the phone. Make sure your downloads are good by checking your md5. Another question for you how long are you waiting when it that screen pops up because the first boot takes a while as you may already know. Forgot to ask did you wipe your SD card when you got your new phone you could try that as well.
Gonna try to ODIN a 100% Stock rom, then go from there.
Looks like I found a EG30 Stock ROM, think that would be a good start?
Found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415884
Going to ODIN that, then go from there.

Sign in lets get this phone running a custom rom. My name is shawn
I have a Stock EL26 w/Root
I also ODIN'd StockAS5-EL26 Repack from Chris41g
And all is happy...but im affraid to try and Load any custom Rom via Recovery because nothing has ever worked so far. Online Stock Roms via Odin have worked.
I have read about a few others getting stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S Screen, but i dont know what they have done if anything.

Boosted Into Recovery, flashed Calkulin E4GT Format All, Then Flashed Calkulin E4GT v2.8... Rebooted
Now stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S Screen.
Checked MD5 for the rom.
On a side note, The flash went pretty fast in recovery and the precentage bar did not work, Dont remember how long a ROM normally takes in to flash in Recovery but Its almost 300mb and it went pretty fast.

I updated to the EL30 modem and my data slowed down quite a bit so i used heimdall and went back to eh17 then flashed back cleanGB mtd. now my phone gets stuck at a black screen any time i reboot after flashing a theme. i have tried several roms mtd and bml and i can no longer flash themes. i dont know what could have happened?
Are you on MTD now? If so you have to mount system in CWM just before flashing.

This happened to me at one time andd the only thing that fixed it was odining back to stock and starting over... either your cwm got corrupted or the mtd partition did...

I'd say that CWM got corrupted...I've had to go thru that at least 3-5 times. Yep, you gonna have to Odin back to stock EC05 and start over. EL30 has been running pretty good for me...running stock deodexed with EL30 modem. I had tried using just the modem on EI22 Roms with little luck.
i would use el30 but i cant stand the green when the screen turns off.
try this....
boot into recovery, go into mounts and storage, format EVERYTHING besides boot. Format Data, Cache, SD card, System. Then install your rom, and boot up. Once it boots up, turn your device off. boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, mount system (do this ONLY if you are installing a BML theme on your MTD rom), install theme, umount system, reboot.
