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.

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.
This ROM is completely stock with exception that root/busybox is included and it uses the stock(No CWM) kernel since no repack exist. Once a repacked kernel is available, I will reupload the ROM to include it
All must be flashed through CWM, so flash the modem also in the same CWM session because once you reboot, you won't have CWM
Factory reset \ Data format is HIGHLY recommended
Stock Rooted FB17 ROM (v1.0) - Mirror
md5 - 603d203e4c9741c3dca9a333f2012b8e
Stock Rooted De-odex'd FB17 ROM (v1.0) - Mirror
md5 - 3b64fc3e708307360b106bea78ed95a3
FB15 Modem
And thanks again to the ACS team for providing the original files for this build & to Nevell for providing the mirrors
Nice! ICS is born
This is awesome. I was gonna wait till a rooted version came out you delivered. Thanks

Thanks calk.
Wow, Calkulin is back with a vengeance! Thanks so much! My only reservation is losing CW recovery. I think I will wait till that is added before I try this out.
Does anyone know if we can restore apps with data through titanium backup with this rom? Or would there be a conflict because I was running gingerbread before?
does data work?
and what modem do u reccomend

Yes data works. You should try out the new fb15 modem. That's what I just flashed....previously was running el29 with no problem though.
I searched and couldn't find an answer quick and I have to leave the house soon.. I flashed an ICS ROM on my SGS2 and it removed the Rogue Recovery I had..
How do I get the custom recovery back so I can nandroid back to GB? help a brother out with a link or something, please.. thanks
(I've only had an HTC Evo before this and knew that thing inside and out.. but this is a different animal)

Flash back using odin. sfhub's one click odin is the safest and fastest way. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101)
Flash back to like el29. Then use the auto root package which is linked in that post to flash an el29+cwm kernel. From there u have recovery and can restore a gb backup.
OR
You can flash one of rogue's ics kernels using odin. That will give you an ics recovery and u can restore gb backup from there.
First option is safer IMO.
thanks for the quick reply man, I've got Odin downloading right now.. I've gotten a new computer since I rooted the 1st time and have to start from scratch... thanks again..
But I may be back with more questions..lol

For the recovery kernel only using tar, mobile odin also works great. No need to flash through PC. Mobile odin is installed on your phone and handy/quick tool.

So I can flash kernels only through the mobile version?.. I'm completely new to Odin so..
So I've got back to complete stock/unrooted.. so I gotta root and get back to a decent ROM.. but that's all gotta wait at least till tomorrow after work..
thanks guys - People on here never fail to help me out when I need it
And both of you have been "thanked" of course

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!!!

Odin back to el26 with cwm and start over from there would be my advice

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

Hello,
I am a newbie here so don't criticize me if this question looks dumb....
Since I want to go with a TouchWiz-based rom, it sounds good for me to switch from CyanogenMod to the Wicked v7. I am wondering if I can use ClockworkMod Recovery to do the flash job.... Does the Wicked require TWRP to flash?
Thanks in advance!
Either works

Either will work but you should Odin the stock firmware first. Look it up here on xda its called the root 66 by docholiday. Good luck

roo66 is by mrRobinson. Unsure why you should Odin stock first. Please don't say it's because the dev said so.

I would say that it's to prevent issues coming from 4.2 to 4.1.
A lot of people have had to do that anyway after doing the backwards jump. Might as well get it done at once.
