there is a thread somewhere about flashing from GB back to Froyo...I think i t has to do with issues with the file structure or something.
To be able to post in the Dev section, I think you need to have 15 total posts first. you are half way there!

thanks will look for?
but will that give me the eh17 urban vendetta?

If it is not flashing, I would suggest using ODIN to go back to stock and then reflash Urban Vendetta.

Odin a rom???

is there a way to install a rom using Odin??
I keep getting the SOD (sleep of death or whatever) and I want to try and install the new syndicate rom thru Odin to see if that may fix the issue.

Not unless the developer puts out a .tar of it. Usually you need to Odin a stock ROM and then you need to flash the custom ROM through Clockwork. You should Odin one of the prerooted ROMs like t853209he second one down in this thread:

It is possible, but none out for the epic. The devs might find it too much of a hassle to have to create and release a tar for every version of the rom, but I have seen it A LOT over at the fascinate forums.

[Q] RFS vs. EXT4?Froyo or Leaked Gingerbread?

Hey guys, I'm sure this ? has come up numerous times, but, I'm still going to ask, yet, again. Ok, Epic4g Ext4, ACS rom & previously Midnight rom 5.3 which I really liked, but, kept getting FC with txt. msging apps after a couple days, don't know why. Anyways, so going to in all liklihood Odin back to stock and start clean. So, here's my ?, should I go back to EXT4 or stay with RFS? I'm an app/game junkie, so, obviously, going to root & am on my phone all the time. So, for a girl, haha, I'm pretty savy with these things & have been mgr. with Sprint & others, so, need my phone like oxygen, lol. Anyways, advice appreciated and pretty darn quick, if you please, because want to get this over with asap! Lastly, try out Gingerbread or not and what roms do all y'all like out there and why? Keep in mind, need it to be STABLE, STABLE, STABLE, fast would be good, and not a battery sucker, but, one can't have it all! Thanks!
Flash back
-Acs Syndicate
Then Odin the EE03 Modem
-Also the FC's were caused b/c you had Journalizing OFF
you need to turn journalizing off.
ok, still confused. So, yes, knew journaling was off, but, what did I need to do & where to, if I'm reading your answer correctly, to keep it off? Thanks for the quick response, btw.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071723
Here you go when you flash Acs Frozen
Just flash this in Clockwork...
you'll need the Re Enabling one.
hope it solves your problem
Beat me to it. ^^^
U can flash the rom once u set everything how u want it go ahead and boot into clockworkmod do a backup then when that's done wipe everything 3x then restore ur back up. That will re enable journaling

So, advice is to Odin back to stock, yes or no? Then, obviously, root, ext4, correct? Flash Midnight rom (since that's the rom I want most, so far), Odin to modem EE03, then, lastly flash the reenable journaling file you linked me to? Not trying to sound stupid, and, admittedly, not a developer, but, I CAN follow directions pretty well. Thanks, again, guys!

Anyone have "Unroot" .TAR 4 EC05?

Used odin 1.6 was a lot faster then 1.3, restored all the way to Froyo stock, until I open apps and "superuser app" still looking at me? Lol
I overlooked what was sent to me
But its good to have when u really wanna clean out all what roms, non wiped, left overs from all the flashing.
Anyone have the OG .TAR non rooted pls shoot it through, but for now will keep searching.

It comes with Odin..... if you accidentally deleted it I would say just redownload Odin....
I'm uploading a Stock EC05 right now. (The entire TAR, 100% stock untouched.)
I'll post once uploading finishes (pretty soon).

Honestly I came from an Evo and was not used to the labeling myself so I took a week to figure **** out before doing anything. But there is a thread that says full restore for Ek02 and EL13..

I was planing on going stock and rooting again so i could overclock and flash a rom sooner or later. So i guess that would be the best way with that link
That thread will give you ek02 kernel and ek02 rom, but not the modem.
Flash the modem separately if you want it.
Alternatively if you want to start from scratch, odin the eg30 factory restore from my signature, then immediately apply the ek02 ota update.

Hope it worked out for you but there is no need to go back to stock unrooted to achieve your goal unless thats what you want to do
sfhub 's methods work awesome
Is there an easy way to go back to 100% stock no matter what modem and everything else you have? This one mentions if you are on a certain version of something you won't be able to flash.

[Q] Q's about flashing ICS

Hey I had a ics ROM and then I restored a Ginger Bread backup. Do I have to do anything. It worked and just put everything back the way it was before I flashed the ics ROM.

Do you mean stock? As in the way it was when you first bought it?
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
Well if you did want it bone stock again but with ROOT then I have a link that takes you to Zedomax's website where he has a download that includes root: http://epic4gtouchroot.com/epic-4g-touch-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-newsph-d710/
To do it just follow the instructions and it will remove everything off of the phone and return it to stock W/root. To remove root just download ES file manager from the "Play Store", I hate that name, and then find the superuser.apk and remove it.
He says how to do this on his website. That's actually how I got into flashing and rooting and all this nonsense. ^^b
Make sure you put you phone into download mode before you connect your phone and also make sure you have KIES with the drivers installed on your computer.
I flashed a ics ROM and did not like it so I restored a android backup of the blazer 4.0 ROM.
As much as I am confused by the OP, anyone else think it's wierd that someone would link to some other site for getting back to stock on XDA? What with all the resources available right here?

I would use this website but I'm finding it impossible to find anything since this is the first forum I've ever joined/been on.

No, no offense taken, at all, helpful is helpful, and always appreciated.
Check "sfhub"s posts in the development section. He has Very easy "one click" restore downloads, and "qbking"s videos on YouTube, he's a favorite here for super easy walkthroughs on doing Anything et4g related. ;-)
The reason I was concerned about the op was that Many people have been getting permanent bricks doing what he says he did, so check out a sticky thread in general titled " how not to brick your et4g ".

I guess im good to go. I just wanted to know it if was safe for me to flash a ics ROM I am waiting for a stable ROM.
Hate to say it Paden, but your posts have not been very clear.
When posting here, it's very important to be very detailed about what rom you're on, what you flashed, in what order, and any symptoms or problems you are having.
If I've got it correctly...
You flashed some ICS rom, didn't like it, then flashed back to Blazer's?
And things are working?
You didn't do a complete stock restore first?
What recovery was built into the ICS rom?
What kind of wiping did you do before flashing?
And why are you looking for another ics ROM to flash to?...

How do you do that
I was going to post a thread asking a similar question. I've been running blazer for a while, and eventually I downloaded the Goodness and ran with it for a week. It was nice and all but for the moment I still prefer GB...however, my nandroid backup didn't work, it told me I had an MD5 mistmatch. So I just went into the ICS recovery and reflashed Blazer no problem. It's been perfect since. Afterwards I was reading the thread on how to not brick your phone, and it said to do exactly the opposite of that. Does that make me the luckiest man in the world? or am I missing something. Would it be okay to try it again?

It's all luck, the current ICS recovery is very iffy on flashing and even wiping data is bricking some devices, if you want to continue using your phone I suggest making a nandroid backup before you flash ICS then flash ICS, and if you wish to go back to GB then ODIN to EL29 and install clockwork mod and restore nandroid, or it won't be long before you have some fancy paperweight.
MultiLockOn said:

Make sure u do a nandroid back up using the gb recovery before u try these steps...... Simple lets saY u are on blazers 4.0 rom n u have a zip of a ics rom put it on your sdcard go into recovery n do a full wipe i use calkins full wipe then i flash the ics rom keep in mind that after you flash the ics rom you will lose your gb recovery n you will have a ics recovery n if you don't like the ics rom u can go to the ics recovery n restore ur nandroid backup make sure to do a full wipe before restoring your backup n when you finish your restore you will have your gb rom n ur gb recovery... Ive done this like a million times n never had a problem BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK... ONE MORE THING I NEVER FLASH ANY ROM USING A ICS RECOVERY
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As long a your just restoring a backup from ics recovery you're fine, it may be a problem when flashing roms from it that results to bricking. So if i read right from your beginning post all you did was just restore so you're fine.
