Hey guys can you tell me if I am running the latest stuff to run Myns Rls5? I installed and flashed it but when it finishes and I can unlock my Evo it goes to the HTC white screen and stays there... any suggestions? Here is a screen shot of what I am currently running.
I did this last night. Easiest way is this:
Flash this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9a1ju....00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip
^^That will update your Radio, WiMax, PRI, and NV all at the same time. After you flash it, it will ask you to reboot. Let it reboot. When it comes back up you will see a phone graphic on a gray/black background. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. It is flashing the radio. Your phone will reboot into recovery once it's done. When you're back in recovery, Flash Myn's ROM. Then you should be good to go from there.
I forgot to add. Wipe EVERYTHING before flashing the ROM.
Well you are up to date on the firmware side. But how are you installing this(amo-ra or CWM) ?

I dont know why people use clockwork when so many have trouble with it. amo-ra is just as easy to use.
I am installing through ROM manager. is this the wrong way ? And should I install the radios from the link in my first reapond? By the way you guys are faster than anything!! Thanks for the quick responds!

Sorry this might be a stupid question but. What's amo-ra? I only use rom manager and never heard of anything else besides that .

ROM Manager is just bloatware. Download Quickboot from the market. I use that to quickly get into recovery or bootloader.
Yes, use the link i provided. It will flash all the firmware upgrades you need (radio, pri, nv, wimax).

Go to the bottom of ROM Manager. What do you see listed as your Recovery?
By you using rom manager, you are using CWM, don't use it; just download it to your sd card and install it like that,but make sure to use Amo-ra.
I hate when people don't provide references from where they got the links so here is the thread for the firmware upgrade i provided. You can download from here (the combo) to make sure it's safe.

A little off topic, but was wondering if someone could quick answer my question. I have been using this ROM for a couple of weeks, and also using Riptides theme, I tried using my hdmi yesterday and it didn't work. Just wondering if it is disabled with this Rom? Appreciate if someone could answer this with out having to look for or start a new post. Thanks

Some people have been having problems. My suggestion would be to make a nandroid backup, flash the ROM without any mods and test whatever you want to test. If it works without any mods, then you know that your mods are causing the problem. I personally have never used the hdmi out so i can't test this myself.
I picked up an Epic today, and for the life of me, I cant seem to get things to flash right. I'm no stranger to this sort of thing (G1, MTS, HD2, NS4G)... but this phone is just giving me trouble.
First time I tried things, I followed everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091680
The oneclick worked without a problem, the rom appeared to flash fine in clockwork, but would not boot. I'd get the samsung logo, then a black screen, and there i'd sit. Couldn't get past it. After several wipes and reflashes, I decided to start over and Odin back to stock.
So now, on round two, I followed this instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076967. Same idea, just, as I understand, a newer version of clockwork? Again, root and clockwork installed fine. I followed the instructions to convert to EXT4 to the letter, which all went without error. I then flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873347. I made sure to get the EXT4 version. Flashed, rebooted, and it gets stuck at the Samsung logo.
So, odin back to stock again. Can anyone help me try to figure out what I am missing here? I've followed all instructions completely to the letter, and the best I can tell I'm using the correct roms. Any ideas?
Maybe simple, but I know in the clockwork menu when you are flashing the rom there are two choices that look similar. One is update and one update from zip. Make sure you are choosing the right one.

I'm choosing the right one. I've got plenty of experience finding my way around clockwork, which is why i'm so baffled as to why this isn't working. I'm no stranger to the steps involved here. Either I'm not understanding something, or i'm flashing the wrong roms. Just trying to figure out where i'm going wrong.
What ROMS have you tried?

If you used CWM 3.0.2.5 it does not convert to EXT4. You have to run another script to convert before flashing an EXT4 ROM. You have to flash the ROM before booting right after the conversion.
Try running this script from CWM just make sure you have the ext4 room you want to use on the card LOL yes I have made that mistake DOH!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2099ptlhb6wacs5/RFS2EXT4.zip
Try using clockworkmod 3.1.0.1 and flash sfr 1.1.1 again.... On sfr 1.1.1 do NOT wipe anything before you flash

Appears to have worked this time, its booting now. Thanks for the help guys!
Well... I broke it. I'm rather confused by how things work with this phone.
I did what ya'll said, and as told, did not wipe (despite reaaaally wanting to.) The rom booted and such, but I had lots of problems. I attributed this to lack of wiping. I really wanted a fresh go.
So, I decided to try again. I wiped and reflashed this rom. Now... won't boot again, just sits on a black screen. I don't get it. Why am I not allowed to wipe data when using this rom?

+1 what he said also after u flash you might want to enable journaling
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ix6vr18uid3q4uh/JournalingOn.zip
Where your phone seems to be a little temperamental I would recommend it for the best experience.
It says on the rom page not to wipe... I didnt wipe coming from midnight rom and acs script took care of everything while flashing... I havent had one fc and no problems yet.... I wonder what the issue is
Sent from my Evo Killer using XDA Premium App
Decided to just completely start from scratch. I did exactly this:
Odin back to stock
One-click 3.0.2.5
RFS2EXT4
Flash SFR-1.1.1
Didn't wipe anything, this is ALL I did. This worked. I still don't understand why I had all this trouble in the first place? Is it the phone, or am I doing something I shouldn't? It seems like the issue is with wiping before flashing. So, what happens if I want to try a different ROM? I can't imagine I need to Odin back to stock every time...

What does this do? Doing a google search gave me instructions on how to enable/disable journaling, but it's not a term i'm familiar with and nothing actually explained why I'd want to do this.
This issue is with stock EC05. It has something weird going on especially the OTA that requires wiping. Same for the new Bonsai release, wipes only needed colming from stock EC05.
Do you BONSAI?

Journaling allows for the extra write to the phone so there is no corruption if you have to pull the battery or you drop it and the battery falls out. If it is not enabled then you might get a lot of FC's after replacing battery and booting up. Also FYI with this phone when you shut it off and the screen is black and the home lights are out it is NOT truly OFF until you fell the quick VIBRATION then it is truly off.
You shouldn't have to go back to stock each time but it seems that you might be having some other issue. You using the stock USB cable? Might want to get a good one from a store other then Sprint. Just a suggestion I have seen a ton of issue's related to the stock cable.

Do you mean stock? As in the way it was when you first bought it?
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
Well if you did want it bone stock again but with ROOT then I have a link that takes you to Zedomax's website where he has a download that includes root: http://epic4gtouchroot.com/epic-4g-touch-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-newsph-d710/
To do it just follow the instructions and it will remove everything off of the phone and return it to stock W/root. To remove root just download ES file manager from the "Play Store", I hate that name, and then find the superuser.apk and remove it.
He says how to do this on his website. That's actually how I got into flashing and rooting and all this nonsense. ^^b
Make sure you put you phone into download mode before you connect your phone and also make sure you have KIES with the drivers installed on your computer.
I flashed a ics ROM and did not like it so I restored a android backup of the blazer 4.0 ROM.
As much as I am confused by the OP, anyone else think it's wierd that someone would link to some other site for getting back to stock on XDA? What with all the resources available right here?

I guess im good to go. I just wanted to know it if was safe for me to flash a ics ROM I am waiting for a stable ROM.
Hate to say it Paden, but your posts have not been very clear.
When posting here, it's very important to be very detailed about what rom you're on, what you flashed, in what order, and any symptoms or problems you are having.
If I've got it correctly...
You flashed some ICS rom, didn't like it, then flashed back to Blazer's?
And things are working?
You didn't do a complete stock restore first?
What recovery was built into the ICS rom?
What kind of wiping did you do before flashing?
And why are you looking for another ics ROM to flash to?...

How do you do that
I was going to post a thread asking a similar question. I've been running blazer for a while, and eventually I downloaded the Goodness and ran with it for a week. It was nice and all but for the moment I still prefer GB...however, my nandroid backup didn't work, it told me I had an MD5 mistmatch. So I just went into the ICS recovery and reflashed Blazer no problem. It's been perfect since. Afterwards I was reading the thread on how to not brick your phone, and it said to do exactly the opposite of that. Does that make me the luckiest man in the world? or am I missing something. Would it be okay to try it again?

It's all luck, the current ICS recovery is very iffy on flashing and even wiping data is bricking some devices, if you want to continue using your phone I suggest making a nandroid backup before you flash ICS then flash ICS, and if you wish to go back to GB then ODIN to EL29 and install clockwork mod and restore nandroid, or it won't be long before you have some fancy paperweight.
MultiLockOn said:

Make sure u do a nandroid back up using the gb recovery before u try these steps...... Simple lets saY u are on blazers 4.0 rom n u have a zip of a ics rom put it on your sdcard go into recovery n do a full wipe i use calkins full wipe then i flash the ics rom keep in mind that after you flash the ics rom you will lose your gb recovery n you will have a ics recovery n if you don't like the ics rom u can go to the ics recovery n restore ur nandroid backup make sure to do a full wipe before restoring your backup n when you finish your restore you will have your gb rom n ur gb recovery... Ive done this like a million times n never had a problem BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK... ONE MORE THING I NEVER FLASH ANY ROM USING A ICS RECOVERY
Click to expand...

As long a your just restoring a backup from ics recovery you're fine, it may be a problem when flashing roms from it that results to bricking. So if i read right from your beginning post all you did was just restore so you're fine.

yup, basically copy the extracted folder to your sdcards:\clockworkmod\backups\
then in CWM, restore each from the folder.
i'm testing right now to be sure it works. the backups are super tiny so i'm worried there's a bug in CWM or it uses crazy awesome compression.

Addis did you try that stock rom that's floating around for t-mobile it's about 1.2 gb in 3 chunks
Basically i f'd up the phone after rooting.
Tried the t-mobile stock rom and it flashed it properly.
EVERYTHING works except the modem.
So i've already flashed with a stock rom with no modem.
I'm losing hair.

Thanks Shawn,
Will download those files and flash. We still need the radio/mdm.bin though.
Edit: so i did try to restore those stock files but i keep getting "md5 mismatch" error. What am i doing wrong? Is there a fix for this error?
redoing the nand tonight
i believe the new CWM uses a different method to backup and restore and in turn i think i may need to redo the nand since it was WAY TOO small and didn't contain the full files.
i'll put that up tonight once i get back from work.
sorry about that

alrighty then. I have been playing with my phone for about 2 hours now trying to figure out how to get rid of CM10 so I can flash a new ROM. (had to find dev options etc.) I tried flashing a recovery image through the SGS tool kit, still had CM10. I tried re-rooting (not advised, had a small stroke while figuring out if I bricked or soft bricked) I just did a system wipe, also ill advised, it warned me that I had no OS (thats why we make nandroids like good lil boys and girls.)
For the love of Jeebus someone please tell me how to get CM10 off of my phone so I can flash a new ROM. can I un-root and re-root and start from scratch that way? is that proper? is there an easier way? Why am I asking all these questions?! (because no matter what, I will always be a NooB -.-')
I appreciate any insight you guys can give me, thanks in advance!

Fairly simple just download another non cm10 ROM as you did to install cm10 in the first place. If you are unsure of what to do read the instructions in the OP of the ROM you want.

I appreciate the reply, im hesitant to flash over cm10 though. I seem to remember always having to reflash back to stock (root) before flashinga new ROM, I never encountered any problems when doing so.

Just wipe data, cache and dalvik then flash new rom. No reason whatsoever to flash another stock rom to flash the one you want
I like to break stuff!

Idk who told you you needed to go back to stocm b4 flashing another rom but they were wrong. I've been flashing roms for a few years on 7 different phones and 5 tablets and never once went back to stock before changing roms

its a habit from the Vibrant. flashing back to stock prevented the possibility of "ghost files." it just kind of ensured everything rolled along smoothly. The reality is that flashing over CM10 is looking like my only option without having to break out good Ol' Command Prompt lol. I appreciate your help guys.!

Just wipe in recovery to get rid of the last roms data and files. You could always odin to stock if you really wanted to but its just extra steps that aren't needed

got stuck n a boot loop a dozen times, finally said to hell with it and found a stock .tar.MD5 and Odin'd this pig. Again, I appreciate y'alls' help.
Don't forget to nandriod before flashing. It will help you when you need it most.
What recovery were you using? I have used twrp with no problems
