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] Stock EL13 + CWM Repack?

I don't see one other then Rogue's. And I would prefer to stay as close to stock as possible with the kernel.
Unless I am overlooking it, I definitely don't see it. Does anyone have a link to one if it does exist?

http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch%2FStock+Repack%2F
Every stock kernel repacked with CWM. (EG30, EG31, EK02, EL13)

All the stock cwm repacks are also available in the auto root package in my signature. This includes el13+cwm and el13.
If you want to be as stock as possible, odin the el13 tar in my sig, then use auto root Option C to install el13+cwm

[HELP] A little confused on how to flash ICS..

I'm currently trying to flash an ICS rom to my friends epic touch he has the EL29 build on his device.
I was able to get it rooted and I flashed the rouge recovery successfully.
But I keep reading and seeing in videos that it is recommended to only flash ICS via gb recovery while on a particular rom and thats were my confusion starts..
If anyone can clear this cloudiness Id appreciate it..
Any turorial videos or up-to-date guides would be help-ful
This guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24028398&postcount=683) didnt help because the first link for the needed file is down, so that was a no-go.
Thanks in advance..

Then just go right into flashing the ICS rom?

If you do the odin one-click FE-22 it will install a stock ICS rom for you.

The one click FE22 will give you stock recovery. If you're going to flash another rom after that you're best bet is el26 but things are changing super fast right now so keep reading through the threads.

Please help with rom installation.

I tried to install several ROMs last night with no luck. I just couldn't figure something out i guess. I watched the out of date videos from qbking77 and still couldn't get it. So i was looking to download something like blu kuban. So I did and couldn't get it to flash for some reason. I was trying to do it with el29 root with cwm rogue then stock and neither worked. I downloaded the first link and it didn't seem right do I need to rename it or something like when I updated manually to ff18?. Not sure if I didn't put in the right folder or what. I had it in the external sd and the internal. Then that zip file I downloaded installed when i did it on el29 root with stock recovery and it installed the stock ff18 build. I'm lost any info would be greatly appreciated I would really love to get some custom roms installed someday. So for now I'm back on ff18 stock.

Are you rooted? If not you will need to root first. If I were you I would download sfhub's auto root tool. You can use that to root FF18, if you aren't rooted already, and install cwm. After that you should be able to flash FF18 roms. It doesn't matter where you store the roms. If that still doesn't work you might try downloading the rom again to make sure it isn't corrupt.

I'm not currently rooted but I will root and then i just need cwm rogue or stock? I guess I will try rogue first. Then I just download the file which is only one now I believe. Maybe I will try a mirror file since the first one didn't work? This is what i did before from el29 rooted with cwm. Maybe it was the file I'm going to go back to el29 again and download the file again and try since you aren't supposed to flash ics from an ics roms far as I know.

You can flash anything from anything if you have a safe kernel. You want to be on FF18 with Blu Kuban right? If that is the case, follow this thread to get rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229. After that you can use the auto root tool to install cwm for FF18. Download Blu Kuban zip to your phone and flash from cwm.

As crawrj was saying, its a multiple step process.
The link they provided had all the details on how to get to ff18 root (and since you said you were already ff18 stock, use the no data one click) then apply the autoroot for ff18 + cwm. All is in the op. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27635571
Then you will need to follow the OP for the kuban that rujelus22 has written, which includes videos by qbking77, on getting everything setup. It too, is a multi step process.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25448865

One way to check the downloaded file is checking md5. Easy to find and use.
Did you download via phone or PC? Its recommended to download via PC.
And Kuban is top notch, although i run another rom, Wicked Sensations. But its all a matter of taste and what you like what the dev has done. Not an easy question to answer.
I bet if you ask for help getting the Kuban rom up and running in rejules thread, you'll find a lot of helpful people there.

Looks like you're very new here and headed for making an expensive paperweight.
Please take some time to read through the forum stickies and how tos. And read through them thoroughly and throug all the posts in those threads.
Seriously not trying to be a **** but you will learn how this phone is built/configured and how to make the modifications you desire.
Loads and loads of reading and patience will save you a whole lot of time and trouble.
OK now to start
As was said already
Grab sfhub's One-click and follow the very well written instructions and flash the 'no data' version to you phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
That will give you a stock rooted FF18 ROM (and FF18 modem too).
Now you will want to add clockworkmod (CWM) so use sfhub's Autoroot Package [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 ] and to install FF18+CWM-agat-src
This will now give you stock rooted FF18 and a 'safe' custom recovery (Agat's CWM).
I suggest you run this for a day or two and do some of that reading. Patience and education are invaluable here.
Then
You can then go and check out rujelus22's thread and follow his very explicit instructions for flashing The Blue Kuban http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625535

Okay What I was doing wrong was not transferring the zip file incorrectly. I kept clicking on the zip instead of taking the whole file when I was transferring onto my sd card! Thank you so much for your time and I've been reading for the last two days. I am very new and know about the emmc bug and everything though. Thank you guys again for your time.

Glad to see you got it. Lurking, learning and reading can only be of a huge benefit to you. There is a sh$t load of stuff to learn about how this device is partitioned and laid out vs some others. Some of the terminologies are different too - ie. modem = radio in some others. And the bricking thing too.
Hope all works out. Once you get a handle on using the custom recoveries and making and restoring backups you can then flash a bunch of different ROMs and try them on for size.
There are so many highly polished (read everything working) very good ones here it really comes down to what works for you and what your styling preference is.
Have fun.

Rooted with Zedomax + Caulkins Rom. Constantly rebooting.

Reboots usually about 10+ times a day. During calls etc. Any way to remedy this?
Note: it doesn't restart from the very beginning it freezes, goes black then boots up the lock screen all media connects are restarted etc.
From the limited amount of research I've done the zedomax method for rooted is no longer used? (Currently I get the yellow exclamation point at reboot).
What do I need to do (in lame mans terms) to get my phone back to normal?
TIA!

Easiest way is to one click Odin. I'm not sure which your on. I'm assuming GB. So you can one click Odin to stock el29+ root. Or if you want one click Odin to FF18 or FH13 to upgrade to ICS. And if your on ICS you can use triangle away to get rid of yellow triangle on the splash screen.

Using ZedoMax kernel is your problem from the get go. Even Zedomax would have a good laugh at that. Its an OLD OLD kernel.
EG30 and EK02 can be rooted via usb with the zerg exploit and sfhubs auto root made that easy. Easiest way with EL29 or the newer ICS firmwares as well is just to flash a prerooted one click. But you can always odin a kernel with custom recovery and flash super user.

Use Heimdall to flash tars then. Grab the one for FH13 if you want the latest official ICS or EL29 if you want the last GB out. Sfhubs one click threads have a second post with the tars as for FH13 dunno how Garwynn and rwilco have their stuff arranged.

Different issue:

2. Is there a separate current radio I can download? My gps can never find my current location, rendering the turn by turn feature useless since I can't use it.
Any thoughts?

The link given earlier to download the modems contains the FI27 modem. You could flash that and it may get rid of the update reminder.
