Stock EH17 is RFS. If the ROM you are going to is EXT4 and does not convert for you, you will need the rfs2ext4 script. It may be in the CWM 3.1.0.1 thread in development. Then you would flash the EXT4 ROM before rebooting.

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.
Okay, I just spent over 6 hours fussing with my phone. I'll try to keep it short and simple.
My phone was running GB 2.3.3. Then a RandomROM HAWK. I was wanting my phone to run EXT4. But, I could not get it to that. When I rooted it with CWM 3.1.0.1, that did not convert the system. Running the RFStoEXT4 zip also did not work.
I just now un-rooted and went back to stock EC05 2.2.1
I then ran CWM 3.0.0.6, which did successfully convert to EXT4.
"FINALLY!", I thought. I wipe data, cache, Dalvik three times. I go to flash a SyndicateROM 1.2, and I get stuck at the Samsung screen.
I've just spent a long time on my phone, and it doesn't help that there are way too many methods to root, unroot, update, flash this, flash that, and it doesn't help that there isn't one simple way to:
Root
Convert to EXT4
Update to Gingerbread 2.3.3/2.3.4
Without going through endless links. That's all I want to do.
I would do more searching however, I've spent enough time on the internet and I really, really need a break. Could someone please help point me in the right direction?
SRF 1.2 doesn't come with a kernel. Upgrade to purple CWM 3.1.0.1 if you haven't yet and flash a kernel and reboot. You should be good after that

Any particular kernel or just any will do?

Any custom kernel you choose.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
I hate sounding like a pompous jerk but, the OP says in the post that it had no kernel >.< READ MAN READ!!!!
Anyways, to kinda help, Genocide's kernel works perfect with SRF 1.2
here's the link! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961614&highlight=genocide
I freaked out when I first tried to go to the ACS Frozen 1.2 ROM. I read that it had no kernel, but thought since I had the stock .tar file already flashed I was good to go.. n00b Mistake..
I used the Genocide 2.0 kernel, which I flashed immediately after I flashed ACS Frozen 1.2 and it worked awesome..
are you just wanting to go with EC05 and the ACS frozen 1.2 ROM?
or wanting to go with gingerbread?
If you put a stock or deodexed version of GB on the phone through ODIN, you should be good to go.
What is your end goal?
To get EG22 (2.3.4) on your phone deodexed and rooted with CWM 3.1, go here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184134
I couldn't get mine to work with Odin 1.85, so I used Odin 1.61 and it worked flawlessly.
I just did this last night, coming from the EC05 ACS frozen 1.2 + Genocide 2.0 combo; so if you need help, let me know
CWM 3.0+ will automatically convert to EXT-4.
FYI, if you end goal is to get GB on your phone, rooted, this will be ONE simple step. You will just ODIN once and when you boot up you will have the following:
EB22 modem
2.3.4
all other stock EB22 stuff
I have EC05 right now. Yesterday I flashed to ACS MIUI and it seems to work fine. Today I try to upgrade to EI22 with CWM 5.0.2.7 using modem.EC05toEI22.zip, but I get an error every time:
Updating modem to EI22...
script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/firmware/modem.EC05toEI22.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried re-downloading the file multiple times from different sources and I keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong?
Just had someone had a similiar issue with a modem.... can you odin back to stock ec05 and it completely flash everything?
It could be a hardware problem if your unable to flash back to stock ec05 and it gets stuck at modem.bin
Otherwise I'm sure someone else knows why its not flashing right... oh and have you tried flashing an alternative recovery possibly acs recovery5 its better. One more thing are you flashing from rom managers boot to recovery or your 3 finger salute?

I odined back to stock EC05 then ota'd to EI22. Except now after I rooted and installed clockwork mod I can't boot into clockwork mod, I can only get into android system recovery, which I can't install a custom rom from. I have tried installing ACS CWM and the latest official CWM via odin and I still can't boot into anything but regular android system recovery using the three finger boot.
What is wrong now?

Samsung put a code into the kernel that reboots the original recovery mode every reboot. Download a custom kernel (which will overwrite this setting.) I recommend nebernal for this as it will work on rfs and I don't know if the others will... there is a qbking vid to properly root on ei22 if this is confusing you... Odin the cwm .tar and DON'T have auto reboot checked. After flashing cwm pull battery and reboot into recovery via the 3 finger method... now flash that kernel I told you to download and boom you now have a cwm tha sticks after reboot!!! Now you can flash whatever rom you would like... btw for future reference I'm pretty sure you have to mount/system in cwm when flashing anything from the new miui and cm roms because of the new mtd partition...

Thanks! I will give it a shot tonight. Can you please explain for a noob what you meant by "btw for future reference I'm pretty sure you have to mount/system in cwm when flashing anything from the new miui and cm roms because of the new mtd partition..." ?

Not sure if this entirely right but with the new partition or reserved memory space the system needs to mounted in order for anything affecting or changing the system to work properly. However to do so its in mounts and storage you'd need to go to mount /system in cwm and then try flashing the ec05toei22.zip then it should work.

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.
when i flashed the latest Blazer Pro my phone gets stuck at the samsung boot screen. I noticed that that download page said don't flash with hitman. The only El29 with CWM is offered with Rogue. Is that the reason? I used Calkulin's format, and i did all the wiping necessary. Is there any other way to get a regular CWM mod for EL29?

It should work with Rogue. That's how I flashed it.
I had that issue after I tried to install the 3.8 update(which you install on top of 3.7). If you still have recovery just flash to 3.7, it is very stable and the changes made to 3.8 don't make it that much different. just use the modified calkulins no data wipe, then flash 3.7. after you can just reflash hitman or gunslinger
I had the same problem going from 3.7 to 3.8. I used the modified calk no data format and it wouldn't boot, so i fully wiped, clean install 3.7, then just went straight to 3.8, no calk wipe at all. You do NOT want to use calk's format, even the no data one. It won't work.
Thanks to all of your comments I successfully flashed blazer. Much thanks
