how do u flash a custom ROM ? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

now before you try to flame me, ive gone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265399
from that i was able to root my phone, and also flashed a custom recovery
couple things, the tutorial doesnt say HOW to access the recovery once flashed, nor does it say HOW to flash a custom rom
can somebody point me to the tutorial for that?
im a lil confused as to flash with recovery or with the odin v1.85 thingy

Hold the volume up button and power button to enter recovery....haven't flashed a rom yet either. I guess through Odin if it's a .tar file and through recovery if its a zip. Haven't checked yet.

Recovery unless different on this device has always been volume down + power.

That's incorrect..
For Samsung Galaxy s2 epic 4G
vol down + power = download mode
Vol up + power = CWRecovery
Btw OP, your phone has to be turned off then do the button deal.

Need Help Getting Out of ClockWorkMod Screen

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,
HZ
use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

If so just flash the stock kernel or rom.

help, cant get into recovery

While device is off, hold down the 1 key on the keyboard and then power button to enter download mode.
Use ODIN to flash CWM.
While device is off, then hold Vol Down + Camera + Power button to get back into recovery.
If all else fails, ODIN back to stock and try again.

Yes after it boots into CWM if you are going to flash Marcussants Rom then dont use the kernel i listed and ONLY flash his rom. It includes a kernel and is all you need
Im not sure what you did but my rom shouldn't cause this. You probably got a bad download. You have to odin with a pit and repartition. Then just flash away.

Root on ATT Help?

Hey guys so I recently decided to root my phone using 2 methods, the first was the root by Odin that will not trip the flash counter and the other is the CF Auto Root. The problem I have is that everything is successful in Odin but my phone is stuck on the glowing Samsung bootloop. Can anyone help me? I don't know if it is because I am on 4.1.2 or not or if I have the quick reboot checked. Thanks for you're guys' help.
Try wiping in recovery?

No I don't. Would I be able to download the firmware from sammobile and use Odin to go back to stock and re-try it?
Taking the battery out, putting back in and holding the home button, up volume rocker and power button doesn't take you to recovery mode so you can wipe?
Also, you can try this: Press and hold the home button, down volume rocker and power button until it takes you to download mode. Then you can use Odin to upload CMW or TWRP. Then boot to recovery to wipe.

You might have to do a factory reset in recovery mode. Thats normally the easiest way to get past softbricks.

- pull battery
- then hold home, volume up, and power and release when ever the blue text on top right flashes.
You flashed a TW kernel and not an AOSP one. That's why you got a bootloop
Vol up+power+home
