I am new to rooting the Epic 4g, but not new to rooting in general. I had an HTC Hero (cdma) and am now on the Evo 4g. I understand all the terminology associated with rooting/flashing, etc, however, the Epic is a little different. I just rooted my wife's ECO5 Epic using the most recent One-Click method and everything worked great. The first thing I did was make a backup. I would like to flash Syndicate Frozen 1.2 but am a little confused on this whole files system jargon as it isn't existent or an option on the EVO. My questions are as follows: If I flash Syndicate Rom 1.2 and the Genocide kernel, I understand that it will convert my files system to Ext4 automatically, but if for some reason I don't like it, can I simply recover my backup in CWM and go back to stock? Or do I need to ODIN back to stock and reset up my whole system as I had it prior? I see that the One-Click 3.1.0.1 method I used has dual file system support. What does that all impact? Just new roms or my current ROM. I have done a bunch of research but haven't been comfortable in my findings enough to start flashing. Can someone please clarify this for me?
I believe there are scripts available to convert between the two file systems, in both directions.
That said, EXT4 is the way to go imo. Don't be shy about it. Sfr 1.2 is top rom in my book. Do take the time to go get the other goodies as well. Hotspot hack, and the supercharger script. It's all amazing when it comes together.

Clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 does not restore filesystem type (ext4, rfs). You can either odin back to rfs or flash a .zip in Clockworkmod. Also, if you have access to odin, there is NO WAY you can brick your phone. It will ALWAYS be recoverable.
(unless you intentionally brick it, there are ways)
So just to clarify, I must ODIN back to stock and thenin recover my backup, which is just stock? Or, can my stock backup run on Ext4?

Best to restore first and do the conversion, but there is no reason you can't restore after. Although I usually do advanced restore data between file systems myself.

Will the completely stock rooted rom run on ext4? Or is my backup useless unless I convert back to rfs file system?

If I remember right, stock runs on ext4. As long as you have a different kernel. Stock kernel does NOT run on ext4.

That is 2 different questions. One no stock kernel is RFS. Two, restore as I mentioned before, advanced restore data only and you will be fine. You may have to set up your accounts but that is about it.

I think i need to ask the question differently. Right now, all that I have done since getting her the phone is complete the One-click root 3.1.0.1. I then made a backup. I haven't done anything else or made any changes. If I now flash Syndicate 1.2 frozen but want to return to my backup, are you suggesting I don't need to ODIN back to stock, but simply advance restore in recovery? Sorry for being an idiot about this guys, but like I said, I am an Evo flashaholic and its taking me some getting used to speaking Epic language! Plus, I would hate to flub something up since its my wife's phone!

I think what I am looking for is step by step what is the shortest easiest way to "undo" a new rom flash and go back to exactly the way it was before. On the Evo, a nandroid backup is gold and does just this, but I am finding that on the Epic this isn't as simple
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would not start with SRF 1.2. Because you also need to flash a kernel. Start by flashing a ROM that comes with a kernel. If it is for someone else keep it simple like ReRFS ROM. I would not even do EXT4 unless you are sure you have journaling enabled. The first freeze, drop or battery pull will cause Force Closes galore. Unless you are planning on supporting that phone constantly, keep it simple. And yes most times restore works fine without goling back to Odin.

Nand doesn't care what the file system is so yes. The issue you may run into is incompatibilties between ROMs and data. So go ahead. I run both nands and Titanium backup just in case of an incompatibility so I can go between froyo and GB.

The answer is no. Complete stock kernel doesn't support ext4. He would have to flash genocide or twilight kernel.

Doesn't matter if he did an advanced data restore. It does not restore the kernel.
Also I am not sure it restores the kernel on a full nand restore. Did one recently and none of the kernel mods restored. Had to reflash my kernel. I thought 3.1.0.1 was supposed to backup and restore the kernel.

That doesn't make sense, if it didn't restore kernel, then how can some people nandroid between cm7 and eh17 every so often? And yeah, but I think he was talking about restoring the ROM, not his data. I could be wrong.

I am confused as to what the OP wants then. I thought he wanted to flash a ROM and if he didn't like it restore back.
As for CM7 to EH17 and back, simply flash and advance restore data or use Titanium Backup. I backed up Hurricane after flashing a new kernel and adding some mods. Upon restore later the first thing I noticed was the mods missing. This is with 3.1.0.1 Odin'd in. Had Bonsai recovery which does back up kernel image as well but would not flash other EH17 Roms for some reason.

I'm confused. The op wanted his phone to be " if for some reason I don't like it, can I simply recover my backup in CWM and go back to stock" which I assume is complete stock, which means the ROM and not his data.

He further confused me later on but going by the OP, then you are right and the best bet at that point is to Odin a prerooted stock ROM like EC05plus to save a step and then restore everything if he didn't like SRF 1.2 and Genocide.

Just wondering which y'all prefer, I've been running Calkulins for near a month and wondered if I should stay or try blazer.. I'm all about performance and battery life.. Thanks go yalls input
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I would go with Blazer. Phantom is CONSTANTLY updating his so that it improves in battery and performance. There's no undervolting script included, but you can adjust that anyways with SetCPU and you probably don't need it because Blazer battery life is amazing.
I'm a Blazer fan myself, so naturally I would recommend trying it out. What you could do is nandroid backup your Calkulin set up, and try Blazer. If you don't like it you can always restore your Calkulin set up.
I personally am using blazer, i didnt like calkulin's for some reason, although im currently waiting for the updated version of TCP's MIUI.

Follow the OP instructions exactly and you should be good to go. Most people who where stuck at the boot logo didn't wipe fully. You can just flash calks format all to make things simpler, then flash the rom right after.
after you flash blazer 4.0 and can boot, you can restore your data using cwm if you want. Just go to back up and restore in cwm, then advance restore-> data of your latest nandroid backup.
I expected this thread to be about 50/50! What have I been missing out on? Lol

I love Blazer for its battery life and frequent updates. I love Calkulins for all the extra stuff he has thrown in there (and yes his ICS room is awesome!).
But yeah my all time favorite is Blend (on GB or ICS).

If you do restore-data, does it put all the settings and programs back on the phone like it was with the other rom? One reason i'm hesitant to install another rom is all the work it takes to get it back to the way this one was.
The first rom I flashed was blazer and I loved it! but it seemed like after each update I disliked it more and more, although I'm sure his new one is awesome. My personal preference is Calk's because it was completely stable for me and gave me the best battery life, even overclocked.
Well I tried to full wipe with Calkulins zip and for extra measure wiped myself and I'm back on the Samsung boot screen.. What's going on with blazer not wanting to install.. I'm on el29..

Try flashing the stock el29 rom which will set the kernel and modem back to el29. Happened to me before and this has worked.

I am currently on Blazer 4.0 and it is super smooth and stable. I was using Calkulins OG ICS build and i had alot of crashes and very problematic. Though Calkulin post all leaks and new builds very quickly and is getting the dev opertunities where they are now i believe blazer is far perfecting them.

Did you do an MD5 check to make sure you got a good clean download? I had the same problems before and I found it was due to a bad download (it happens, not the dev's fault).

I think it's pretty safe, if you are upgrading your current rom or moving from one ICS TW-based rom to another. Ex: going from Calkulin FE22 to agat63 tFE22, probably should flash Calkulin's Format-all script, but flashing the rom should be fine. I would follow instructions in OP and not use it with AOSP/AOKP roms.

I personally have not dared to try backup or restore yet, but I have flashed quite a few tweaks and even 1 that wiped the cache... no brick so far.

If you're going to flash a aosp rom I would definitely use el26 first just to be safe.
El26 all the way. Don't risk bricking your phone to save a minute doing it the guaranteed safe way.

I have my rooted E4GT and the Blazer ICS Rom is installed on it at the moment. I kinda want to try and switch to AOKP's latest build and try it out, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since they clearly stated not to flash from ICS to ICS.
Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what I should do in order to make the switch to AOKP?
Links to both ROM's respective threads:
AOKP Build 40
Phantom's Blazer Rom
Thanks for your time.
You can just Odin the el26 cwm (sorry don't have the link to it on my phone) and flash AOKP from there.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
This is my method, it is 99.9% safe. You can also re-use it to go from other ROMs to any other ics ROM.
Download these drivers
Download this: OC ODIN File for EL26 and this: E4GT Root Utility
Using Titanium Backup, make a backup of all your stuff, or use your preferred back-upper, just not nandroid. I recommend buying the Pro version, because it will save you so many times, and the dev is great. It's a little expensive though for an app.
OC Odin back to EL26. The good thing about this is, the process is straight forward, and doesn't add to your flash counter, and does not yellow triangle either.
Open up e4gtauto-sfx.exe, option C, then I. This gives you CWM, And just in case, I do not recommend using other than standard CWM to flash ICS roms. but that's me.
When your phone reboots, it should have CWM, and be rooted, just load up the AOKP files, do a data wipe, and flash.
Thank you both for the replies
Would I be able to use calkulins format all to do the wipes? Or does that only work for certain ROMS? It seemed pretty fool proof when I used it, so I was wondering if I could just use that again and it would work just the same? I don't want to forget something and brick my phone as a result
And I'll look into titanium backup, thanks for the suggestion.

Alright, but all I should need to do is install the EL26 + CWM and I can flash AOKP? I don't need to go back to a stock gingerbread ROM or anything, or will the OC EL26 CWM do that for me?
And you said you don't recommend calkulin's format all for ICS roms, but that's what I was told to use for the Phantom Blazer ICS rom when I was flashing it?
Also, one more question; what is "flash count" and is it a bad thing? I'll do some googling on it myself, but I'd like to hear your explanation because I don't always understand people's ways of describing things and usually take weird explanations to understand so yours would still be much appreciated just in case, thanks. ^_^

You just need to be on a safe recovery.... if you wipe data in an unconfirmed recovery you can cause a brick. Either use the el26 that all use or the el29-reboot kernel. Both will work no matter what you install regardless of you install (granted you flash a working rom). I prefer the el29 because you install via mobile Odin and it boots straight to safe CWM recovery.

How To Perform a Successful Nandroid Back Up and Restore Using Mobile Odin And Agats FK23 CWM repack on these Jelly Bean LeaksI've had a LOT of confusion as to how to do this and several people saying they will wait to get in on this jelly goodness cause they're nervous about a backup. I've done this SUCCESSFULLY over 50 times and no problems yet... not a single bootloop and kept all my mods. So, This is how you can perform a successful nandroid back up and restore to your Jelly Bean Rom.. This is ONLY for Jelly Bean and Not if you are running ICS or GB.
To Create a Nandroid Back Up on Jelly Bean
1.WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING JELLY BEAN... Mobile odin Agat's Repacked FK23 kernel to obtain a JB recovery.
2.Select Back UP/ and Restore. - Back up
3. Let it run the back up and reboot. Rename to something that lets you know that its a JB back-up.
To Create a Restore Back to Your JellyBean Setup
After making a Jelly Bean Backup, Lets say you want to go back to ICS or you want to flash another Jelly Bean Leak, But you're just LOVIN the way you have it set up on this JB Black Bean and kinda leary about flashing something else without a back up of this sweet set up? Here's how to do it...
1. Get to a ICS or GB kernel with either Mobile Odin, PC Odin, or CWM zip.
2. After Wiping everthing, flash your ROM or flash your ICS restore point. Reboot phone as normal. Run your Rom..now back to JELLYBEAN.
3. WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING ICS...TO RESTORE..
a)boot into ICS recovery
b) wipe cashe, dalvik cashe, Factory Data Reset..
c) flash Either STOCK JB or THEMED .. JB Black Bean with Jelly ROM
d) when ROM finishes flashing reboot.. but no need to sign into Google.. we're about to do a restore.. Just click No to all of Google's questions, give them your name.. and hit finish. Now go to your "my files" in the app drawer, select ext. sd... navigate to where you have the Mobile Odin and Mobile Odin Flash kernel and install both. Then go back to the app drawer and open Mobile Odin. Select Kernel and navigate to where you have Agats FK23.tar or zip and flash it with Mobile Odin. reboot.
e)boot into JB recovery. go to backup/restore. -restore - select your JB restore point - yes ... let the restore run.... reboot.
You Just did a Successful Back Up and Restore on Jelly Bean without losing recovery ... for very long. Now if you feel the need but its not necessary, you can re flash the STOCK JB FK23 kernel.
While you are on JB..
Make SURE you are on the same CWM Agat FK23 JB kernel that you made the BackUp and do your Restore.
Hey Jay, can this reject get a sticky one time??
So the only one that would work is agats fk23 repack if running jellybean? So that's why it wouldn't work been doing it with el26 and fi27.

Thats correct. Just lik on a AOSP/CM kernel and ROM if you were to make a back up on CM for example you would restore with that same CM kernel. The same is true with JB to /ICS/GB. You have to be running a JB kernel. Since Agats Kernel is the only repack we have... even tho the JB kernel may have a couple issues being repacked, its the same recovery. We've all trusted this same recovery on ICS for some time now and its a good recovery on JB too
After reading that whole thing (yes, people still read the whole thing), these replies look so tiny, lol. Good work, man!

Try using a repack that isn't a JB kernel.. like GB EL26 stock CWM. JB repacks aren't playing well at the moment.

Naw that especially won't work with jb. It has to be a jb repack running jb. If you have an error and you are running a JB repack on JB, make sure that you
A) have a mounted sd card preferably external
B) enough memory on the sd to do the back up. I would keep 2gb at least. JB is much bigger than ics or gb.
B) the repack kernel is JB.
If it still gives you the error try rebooting back into JB recovery while running JB and try the backup again. Lemme know if you're v still having issues. I just did a back up and restore to and from ics yesterday.

I've been backing up and restoring JB using GB EL26 stock repack with no issues. After restoring my JB setup, I flash stock JB kernel and all is well. I've had JB kernel repacks give error on backup as well as restore.
