Reformting to RFS?

I want to flash this rom, but my phone currently has the ext4 file system. How would I reformat back to rfs without flashing a stock rom via odin? (Which doesn't work due to drivers isuses)And would I still have cwm so I can flash the rom?

U can Odin back to stock or use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
And flash with cwm

Would you happen to know which parts of the rom enable fm radio so that I can add them to another rom? I have Go Green and I'm not digging the theme it has , I'd I have to heavily modify it and I don't want to break anything. Are there any other roms besides those two to choose from?

There's a few look under development. All u have to do with go green is flash a different theme

I tried to flash a theme with ACS updater (made sure it was an EC05 theme) And my phone was still at the animated ACS boot logo after 15mins. I assume it made my install unbotable. I got tired of waiting and just reflashed it.

go green is not ec05, its eg22..

I have stil have the EC05 modem though, I didn't flash it because I didn't have to, and odin won't work on my computer due to a driver issue. My baseband is still EC05, I can screenshot it for you.

The modem has nothing to do with the rom so if you are on a eg22 "rom" and have the ec05 modem doesn't mean u can flash ec05 themes. Modem only controls the radio on the phone (signal)

Updateing used epic

Searched and searched. Bought a used in great shape epic for my son for christmas and I wanted to set it up on cleanGB like I have mine and the wifes set up (very stable an fast). I odined it back to stocj ec05 and when it prompted to update it failed. So I tried the update.zip for ei22 thru recovery and it also failed. I've seen a thread here for the same problem but I couldn't find the thread. If some one could point me in the rite direction to get it to ei22 I would greatly appreciate it.
I have everything saved on my pc to root and apply all the fixes (gps,keyboard) and to root I just need to get the phone to that point first.
Thanks

You could odin in the recovery (ACS or CWM) while on EC05, then flash the EC05 to EI22 Modem zip file (somewhere in thee dev forum), then flash CleanGB.
Edit: I am pretty sure that the only reason you want the OTA update is to get the EI22 modem.

the modem i could flash to i was just lookin to do it the easy way. lol

Mine won't update from EC05 either. I have to go back to DG27 which I got from the wiki thread.

did it update rite to EI22 that why or did it go thru the other updates first?

Forgive me for this question but why would you even want to wait on the OTA update if you are just going to flash an EI22 ROM over it? With EC05 (and backwards) you could even do the 1-click root method and not even mess with Odin.
Am I missing something with the OTA update? Is there concern with the EC05toEI22.zip? I used it to get to the EI22 modem and it was quick and painless.

i think this is the route im gonna take is do the one click root then flash everything i want on the phone

Don't forget to also apply the cwm 5 zip. You can do this after flashing cleangb if u want, but you will need to do the 3 finger method.

So you were able to get to EC05? If so, flash CWM recovery from Odin and try the 3 finger boot. Or actually, it doesnt matter if you got EC05 loaded or not, just Odin CWM and boot into recovery and flash CleanGB from there.

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 ;-)

Success
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.

Noob Root Questions

Hello,
I am brand new to all this stuff and this is my first post. I just rooted my phone and installed CWM. My question is I want to install the blu kubin rom but is there anything else that I need to do regarding the kernal before I switch from EL29 GB to an ICS rom? Also if I dont like the rom and want to switch to another one what do I have to do so I dont brick my phone? Do I have to flash back to EL29 before switching roms? I am so confused!!! Thank you all so much for all your help!!!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

You will need to Odin the el26+cwm5 kernel to flash blu kuban, to return to GB if you so choose, just Odin one click el29, to change to another ICS rom Odin the el26+cwm5 kernel and boot straight into recovery to flash the rom you choose. I've gotten into the habit of just odining el26+cwm5 any time I wanna use recovery no matter which rom I'm on. Make sure you ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS READ EVERYTHING IN THE ROMS OP AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY. Also read up on the stickied threads about flashing roms and how not to brick

You can also safely use the format files that avoid the wipe data/factory reset that is so risky instead of the el26+cwm. But both methods are safe, just depends on your preferences.
Calkulin's format_all and/or Rujelus22's format x2 (which is in the OP of the Blu Kuban thread)

For best results, everyone will tell you to flash ICS roms using EL26 kernel. I used EL29 to flash the BluKuban Rom without a problem (not saying u should) I think you are safe as long as you DON'T do a factory reset or reset data INSTEAD use Calkulins Format all file OR Rujelus Wipe 2x file Then flash the Rom.
So; Download the BluKuban Rom.
Download Rujelus Wipe 2x file or Calkulins Format all file.
Place files to sdcard.
Go into GB recovery (hold vol up and power)
Flash Rujelus wipe 2x or Calkulins
Flash the BluKuban
Reboot. First reboot takes a bit.
After reboot go to settings, Rom updater and download part 2 (it finishes theming Talk) that's all.
Alot of helpful people on that Rom. Just ask if u have any further questions.

How do I even get the EL26 kernal? I am sorry but I am so confused! I thought now that I am rooted and have CWM O am good to flash to any rom...maybe I am in over my head....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Also if you want to flash a different Rom, just go into recovery (if the ICS rom that u downloaded has recovery)
Go into ICS recovery. Flash Rujelus wipe 2x file or Calkulins format all file. Then Flash your new Rom.
NEVER go back to GB from ICS (if u choose to go back, flash EL26)

I think the search feature has been on the fritz.
You can get the format x2 right in the opening post of the Blu Kuban thread, just use it and you'll be fine.

If you've just rooted but haven't installed recovery then you need to run the autoroot tool. And then you can more forward with flashing Blu Kuban.

Need help updating

Okay so i'm only familiar with flashing on the epic 4g and I just got a E4GT tdy which was already rooted and its on Calkulins E4GT.2.ROM v1.5. The kernel says FD26 with some other letters with it but i doubt important. So yeah I was gonna start with the flashing but i've been reading about people bricking their E4GT and I just wanna be on the safe side and ask how can I update to CM9 or calkulin's 3.0 from this point on? when I go to recovery it just says team rogue's recovery but looks like I can easily flash roms. Just don't want to flash the wrong thing in the wrong provedure and get a brick. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank You Very Much!!!

yeah I read everything.. just trying to be a bit cautious since I was also reading that it's probable to brick e4gt when on an ics rom.. i was able to get my hands on mobile odin so i can just flash the el26 safe cwm from there right?

(1) Grab the stock el29 tar, install the desktop version of odin and drivers on your computer, and verify odin works. Flash el29. This phone is very soft brick happy, but in almost all cases odin'ing back to stock will fix things. So it is good to have them handy.
(2) Find a rom you think you might like and flash it. Only flash roms intended for the epic touch 4g, international roms will brick your phone. Follow any rom specific instructions in the thread. In general, a zip file must be flashed in a custom recovery, a tar file must be flashed in odin, and an exe file must be flashed in Windows. If it is a zip file, be sure you are flashing from a safe recovery. In general, as long as you have the newest version of chris' or agat's recovery, then it has been patched to be safe.
(3) If your phone doesn't boot or work right after the rom flash, repeat step 1
