Did you try hitting your phone with a rolled up newspaper...bad phone, bad phone!
Seriously, what recovery are you using? If it is Bonsai recovery then that is your problem. It is not working well with EI22 ROMs. Install either CWM 3.1.0.1 or the official 5.0.2.7 which is now supported by ROM Manager (in the market). Flash the zip file found in the 5.0.2.7 thread in development, download ROM Manager and click install clockwork and select Samsung Epic 4G and you should be fine.

What happens when you try to flash one of these stubborn ROMs? You should switch to CWM 5.0.2.7 anyway.

I have encountered this problem before. Deffinately the recovery in this case.. I reccomend getting the CWM recovery for your phone, and following the standard recovery flashing procedure from adb shell. This alway fixes the error when there is not another underlying cause

He is talking about one-click root for EC05 with CWM 3.1.0.1. It is stickied in the top of Development.
Since you installed CWM 5.0.2.7 did you try to flash one of those ROMs? What happens when it doesn't work? Boot loop?

Ok, So i've successfully rooted my epic 4g touch and I successfully installed the rogue CWM found on this forum. Now whenever I try to flash the CM7 zip (trying to get AOKP), it will only boot into CWM and the phone won't boot. I've tried re-rooting, wiping dalvik (gives me volume patch error), and wiping cache, etc.
Any help?
No need to boot flash aokp in the recovery and on pretty sure aokp will boot

Flash it twice. This is a common occurrence
And by that I mean flash it twice successively, one after the other. Should fix you up. Let us know if that doesn't work.

I've done that. It didn't work.
You don't need to install CM7 to install AOKP.
Try this: ODIN to stock EL29, use one click root (choose option C, then I (this'll root your device and give stock CWM recovery)).
Then boot into recovery, flash AOKP, gapps and FD02 modem if you'd like.

Really? Interesting. Ok well most people are actually flashing AOKP and Codename from the EL26 CWM that is linked in the OP of those threads. That is actually how I have flashed over 15 times with different builds. So if you can Odin EL26 with clockwork mod you should be able to flash AOKP after you flash a calkulin format all to wipe all relevant partitions and don't forget to install Google apps.

Yes, root works a bit different on this phone. Pretty much every single rom available will provide with root and superuser when it is installed via some sort of custom recovery or Odin. Odin is actually a very safe and convenient method of flashing.

Hmm that's strange. A lot of people definitely have the fast zip installing issue but when they flash it for the second time without ever rebooting recovery or the phone it takes a good 15+ seconds to flash and it successfully writes to your phone and boots up. Going back to stock certainly can't hurt. Perhaps start from there.

I've started from stock twice, reinstalled rooted via odin (twice), then tried to do CWM. Thanks anyway guys! Appreciate it!
Have you tried redownloading the ROM? If you downloaded via your device you could have had some dropped packets.

Hello,
So I've been rooted for a while now, i was going to install a custom rom but decided not to a few months ago. Tonight, i decided to install aokp, however my phone would not go into cwm, only stock recover. I could have sworn it was installed, but fine, so i installed it once again with auto reboot in odin checked, and it still wouldnt enter cwm. I then tried to install it again with auto reboot checked off so i could see if i could enter it without the reboot. I ended up getting into it, but then when i was taking a NANDROID, it just froze on one of the first steps. Fine, reboot, try to enter cwm again. Nope, just stock android recovery. I am sure im installing it correctly and pressing the right button combos. I am at a total loss for what is stopping me from being able to enter cwm. I hope you guys know/help me find whats going on.
Thanks!!!

maybe you didn't actually "root" your phone to begin with lol
are you sure you have "superuser" or "superSU" app?
anyways to get CWM or TWRP recovery you need
find a up-to-date CWM or TWRP (if i spell teamwin recovery correctly)
download it
put your phone in ODIN Mode (download mode) by power + vol down + home
flash the recovery
i personally think twrp is better
they just released a new version which support ExFat
and all you need is just use terminal on your phone to install it.

Stock ROM has a built in script that reloads standard android recovery when it boots. The only way to keep it is to keep Odin auto reboot unchecked, boot directly in and make your nandroid/flash custom. Once you are on a custom ROM CWM will stick.
On a side note TWRP is a very nice recovery and many people find it much easier to use. If you insist on CWM, make sure you have the latest version. You might need to flash CWM again if you had a bad flash. It shouldn't freeze up on a nandroid.
Many people never experienced this because they flashed during early ICS when the device was released. The change was an update just before JB was released which caused this little annoying script to appear.

Thankyou!! That makes sense ;p. When I did get to start making a nandroid last night but it froze, right before it froze it said the free space on my sdcard was 1612 mb (or something like that) This is wrong, I have the 16gb i747 so I have 11.95 gb of usable storage for apps and such, after deleting some big apps I have 4.93 gb available, my sdcard is a 16 gb sdcard which has 12.06 gb available. Do the math and I have enough room on my sdcard for a nandroid, so what could be causing cwm to freeze and report false information?

what version of CWM are you currently running?
you could always try to download GooManager or ROM Manager from the Play Store.
then from one of those, install the custom recovery, GooManager for TWRP or ROM Manager for CWM.

CWM is very very funny and one of the reasons I switched to TWRP was for stability
In my experience errors come up on restoring images when 1) you don't use the same version you backed up the image with 2) you don't get to CWM through the same method you used while making the image (ie through ROM manager with your phone on).

absolutely do NOT ever flash an international i9300 ROM to your phone. you will end up with a very expensive paperweight.
only flash ROMs specifically for the i747 (d2att).

That's correct. The easiest way to install is download GooManager from they play store.
Open the app and grant permissions when you are asked. Touch the menu key, and select Install OpenRecoveryScript
Wait for it to say successful and youre done. Shut down the phone, hold volume up + home + power and you will enter TWRP.
From here you can flash ROMs (and make backups )

Go the play store, download the app goo manager. Open the app, hit your menu button and select to install an open recovery script. And boom, you have installed TWRP.
I'd recommend lots of reading and researching before flashing.

Nope you should be all set. 4.2.2 (02/23) build is the most stable and safest.
Download the 2/23 version. Download the 12/19/12 gapps.
Put the files in the root of your phone.
Boot to recovery. Select Backup and swipe to make a backup of your current ROM in case you ever want to go back to the stock ROM.
Then go back to the main menu of twrp and select wipe. Once in that menu, wipe the following: cache, dalvik, factory reset and system.
Go back to the main menu again and select install.
Locate the zip file you downloaded (the ROM) and then select it. A new screen will pop, select add more zips. Select the gapps and then swipe to install.
reboot and youre done. =)

Can I reset taking out battery and redo this steps?

UPDATE!
So I did had to take out the battery and redo all steps this time making sure i wiped all cache, dalvik, factory reset and system. I proceeded to install find the rom and then when done I installed gapps.

If you have TWRP installed it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not. It's going to over right the system partition regardless if you have root or not.
So it's either a bad download or bad transfer for it to fail.

I do have the latest SU version by chain fire. And maybe I'm doing something wrong the because I am running the virgin gpe ROM now and that flashed in twrp with no issues. Now when I go to install (after wiping) and select the 9.12 update that I downloaded it hangs on trying to open the zip and fails... I haven't changed any twrp settings but in the write options of twrp what boxes should be checked because system is not by default... Thanks for the replies!

I previously only used cwm so I'm not sure if I should just try that or what... And I've checked the download and md5 for verification

You can give CWM a try, I've been using it for a while without any issues. Out of curiosity what version if TWRP you are using? I think most people recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. I'm using the latest version of CWM.

If all else fails, just start from scratch, get stock UVUAMDL tar, flash it with Odin, make sure to do a factory wipe after you flash it, sometimes bootloops occur if you don't. You don't even have to go past the first screen where you pick the language. Just shut it down from there and boot into download mode and root with Chainfire with Odin, then shut down and boot up again into download mode again and flash custom recovery tar of ur choice with Odin. Then download whatever custom rom zip and install it via custom recovery.

heyyy saw your reply in my thread.
just as @byron1985 suggested there, it sounds like you got a bad download. the flashing scripts are essentially exactly the same from previous version. the flashing process has absolutely zero to do with SuperSU.
edit: re-read. so you've verified the download. if you had success with CWM previously, i would go back to that. i do not use TWRP.

Im going to give the twrp 2.5.2 a try as it seems most of my troubles keep happening on the 2.6.3 build. Hopefully that works either way its back to CWM for me as well. Thanks again for taking the time to help out and again sorry about hijacking the thread for a page... Your ROM is absolutely perfect so I appreciate the efforts and time!,

SOLVED... tried 2.5 version of TWRP and all went well... odd but apparently my device doesnt like 2.6 versions of TWRP! Thanks to everyone who helped me out and gave me suggestions and thank you to the dev for taking some of his time to assist! It was a great help to me!
