I'm trying my very hardest to be calm in this situation, which is hard to do given the amount of information provided by the Op. I won't say anything other than READ.

If you have clock work 3.x check if the zips you are flashing are converted to edify scripts. Or since I think truly epic is edify anyways, you're probably not on clockwork 3.x. look for dameons posts on installing the clockwork mod 3

Yes it is the orange one. In that case Im not to sure. Did you try re downloading the zip? If nothing else works I'd say unroot you're phone and start over from scratch

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

I don't believe syndicate even has a EXT4 (Clockworkmod3 compatible) ROM, so you must be trying to flash RFS only ROM's from the sound of it.
Make sure the ROM you flash says EXT4, not RFS.
EDIT: Checked Truly Epic ROM out and it looks like it should work fine with Clockwork 3.0.0.5.
When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean exactly? Whats it do?

Gotta give us some more info than that? What method did you root with? Do you have cwm? We can't help you cause we have no idea what you have.

Wish I could. Never seen your problem. You sure the cwm is installed right ?

Can I flash Voodoo fixes to the Epic?

Is this flashable to the Epic?
http://project-voodoo.org/download
It has many fixes such as lagfix (which is ext4, and most users for the epic already have it), color optimization, and making the speakers louder.
http://project-voodoo.org/color
This is what I am really looking for and was just wondering if this was available to the epic yet.
Thanks

No and don't try. Give it time and the devs will port

Something we don't need. Seriously it's been mentioned in excess of 500 times and won't benefit us at all, it only has any results for the international Galaxy-S and Captivate.

ok we may not need this but what lag is spoken of? i used captivate and fascinate i notice no lag

Some captivates and vibrants had problems reading from the internal memory card which caused lag

I flashed voodoo to my epic.... don't do it!!!
So what now??!! Help! The (voodoo 5.5) kernel flashed alright and now the phone will not reboot. I can still get to cwm and when I try to reboot I get stuck in a boot loop. Phone is rooted with no other mods. I obviously got flash happy and did not read up first. F*#! Can anyone out there help me?

Enter Download Mode and Odin Back to DL18, EB13 or EC05
Thats probably the only way for you now if you can't get back to CWM. If you can, then just reflash a new ROM

Nope. One clicks don't work on 2.3.5. You need to use Odin to install CWM 5.027, then pull the battery before it boots, power up into CWM first then flash a custom GB ROM.

Why not just have him install the gb3.tar kernel instead of "pull the battery before it boots" much easy and less fearfull.

Does that have clockwork in it too? Usually I say uncheck reboot in Odin but then you still gotta pull the battery and pop it back in then boot to CWM. Didn't mean to be scary..lol!

No but it qbkings tutorial he says to flash the kernel first.... then flash Cwm just saying it would be less chance of error. Something in the stock kernel has a script that searches for cwm and causes it to delet after the first boot anyways.....

Exactly! And no worries about it overwriting recovery as long as you flash a custom gb rom (there is a mostly stock one if trying to stay stock) as the kernel will be included with the rom... don't let biggorn scare you... its not scary to pull the battery after odin ;-)

The Odin kernel trick worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the help, my Epic is now rooted and has superuser access. The primary intent of this project was to remove all of the crap-ware and now that that is accomplished I have to ask...now what? What other things should I look at to make it faster and better?
Thanks again.

Flashing a custom rom.... and a custom kernel.
Suggestions: legendary 2.2 and the samurai or shadow kernel
MarcusantRom revival v2..... just go through the android development forums to see which rom you'd like to use. Just be careful what your trying to download thought. If your Rom is BML or MTD then you have to download that type of kernel.

U don't even have to pull out the battery is instantly boots up into cwm that's what happened to me when I got my replacement that was already on ei22 I just connected to odin and flashed the latest cwm and had a rom already on my sd card so I just flashed the rom when it opened cwm for me
Its very easy and no worries and if it doesn't open cwm its not like your phone will brick or anything u just need to try again. To flash a kernel would be easy too

qbking77 has a 2 part video on it that is very step by step. just follow it and you will be fine. from what i remember just 1 extra fie to odin and you need a file on your sdcard. it was pretty gravy. have fun and mistakes are a short odin back to the beginning
edit.
haha forgot there was a second page..... use remember you can go from bml to bml, or bml to mtd, mtd to mtd type roms. YOU CAN NOT JUST FLASH FROM MTD TO BML!!! you must odin back to ec05 and make sure repartition is checked and use the victory pit. happy playing

just remember though... after reading the information on these forums, and you are still unsure or whatever... ask questions, ask questions , ask questions...

Well everything is running great but now Sprint is trying to upgrade my firmware to EL30. Will this do away with my new found rooting and can it be re-rooted if it does?

It will fail to update since your rooted you have to go completely stock to upgrade and once upgraded its the same root process with the exception of using a different kernel.

You can root EL30 the same way you root EI22.

i used odin 1.85 and used the lostkernel 1.02.4 something like that when i tried to root my phone.

Okay well I've never heard of it. Anyways just go ahead and flash back to stock ec05 if you don't know how to do this then follow this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Once back on ec05 you have two options update to ei22 or just root ec05 by flashing a recovery not a kernel. Ill provide you a recovery give me a second.
Sent From My Cyan Samurai

Kala..if u have the stock ec05 file on ur pc..odin back to eco5, and then let the phone do the ota update to ei22. From that point u can go ahead and the rooting process. Make sure u are not using the data cable that came with the phone.

EI22 Question, Help.

Hello all,
Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue as me with EI22... I have had it twice now and eventually the 2g just goes away, wont connect and then i lose the signal completely... I have odined back to EC05 and it works good. I just upgraded to ACS ICS 5.5 from v2 of ACS.. I have noticed that signal seems weaker with EC05, wanted to go back to EI22 but didnt want to encounter the same issue...
anyone else have this? any ideas or help?
Thanks!

im on samuri_gen 1.2 kernel now.. i thought that was a good one...

well it's suppose to be, but if your having problems with signal and speed, perhaps for kicks or trial and error, you should try a different kernel, just to see what happens. maybe better results, maybe not. only one way to find out.

I'm certain signal has nothing to do with the kernel try flashing other modems on ei22. I that sometimes others phones like other versions of modems ec05 and ei22 and not he only ones. Just the official "stable" but other are still usable. As for speed yes the kernel has to do with. Also try going back to ec05 not updating to ei22 but rooting and flashing a ei22 rom and flash the delta zip modemEc05toEi22.zip

You cannot do that. Only Samsung or Sprint signed zips can be done as an update.zip. So it would have to be renamed and ssigned or it will fail. He needs to root first and that is easy on EC05.

It is a delta script bulit to change your modem to the ei22 since there is not an official tar for ei22 modems. And it could help you because I know some people have issues with signal when they update rather than take the path of just flashing an ei22 rom and updating there modem thru the modem.zip and ill upload you it in a minute.

The only way to get the ei22 modem is to either accept the ota update to ei22 gb or to root and flash the ec05toei22.zip on a rooted phone... I think I still have the delta file somewhere I will post here when I find it...
