Dude u dont need to go back to el29 to change roms just use the recovery include in Blazer, did u tried to press Power + Volume Up and boot to recovery them wipe system + system cache + advance then Calvin cache then chose the rom in ur sdcard or whatever u put it and flash it. At least thats how I do it, also make sure u find more info on flashing u could brick ur phone.

Try these steps:
1) Reboot into recovery.
2) Install the PA ROM. No wipes necessary here.
3) Reboot into recovery from the Reboot menu. Do NOT reboot the system.
4) You should be in CWM6. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache.
5) Restore your backup.
6) Reboot the system.
Let us know if that doesn't work. Good luck!

You have to provide more information so we can help you out. What ROM are you installing? What is your current recovery? Are you using the purp 3.1.0.1? Did you wipe System/data, cache partition, and Dalvik Cache 3x? We can get you straightened out. Just give some more details.

you cant install srf 1.2 on that recovery.. you need to upgrade to 3.1.0.1, cwm2x does not support ext4
You need to update clockwork to 3.1.0.1. You're using an outdated recovery.

Rom manager doesn't really work for epic. You have to turn off your phone and then hold camera, vol down and power to get into your recovery. Check qbking's videos. They will make a lot of sense. You may want to odin your phone and restart. I'm not sure how much craziness you may have started. Backup major stuff with Titanium and everything will pretty much be normal without major loss.
Wow, its been a while since I was that far back on recovery. Let me check TheRoot's link...EDIT..yup TheRoot's link has a flashable version of the 3.1.0.1 recovery that will get you right where you want to be to flash all of the current batch of ROMs. PM me if you get stuck and I will go step by step

If you're flashing SRF 1.2, don't worry. It's built in. Just flash the rom, journaling on and a kernel and you're on your way. Use the thanks button as well, please.

I do not have the mobile odin.
Ok well Odin on PC would work fine. Download all your files (rom, gapps, whatever you need to) and flash the el26 kernal with cwm. Then when that's finished and your phone tries to reboot, pull the battery and then put it back in, then boot into the recovery. Wipe all data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, then flash rom, then gapps and whatever else you may need. Be sure to do a nandroid backup when you first get into recovery.

Which el26 kernel? I think I had it, don't know where it went >.>
el26_stockcwm.tar.md5?
So I just boot into recovery, flash from that and then as its rebooting i pop battery out, go back into recovery and load up CM9 and then load up gaps and let its start?
Be sure to wipe everything first. And yes that .tar file is the one you need. Do yourself a favor and re-read the cm9 installation process just to be safe.

Ok, if you want gapps, then download whichever kernal the rom comes with, just the kernal tho. Then flash el26cwm again and flash gapps, then before you reboot, flash the kernal that you had just downloaded with rom. You won't lose any data so you have nothing to worry about.

Ok.
So Im using Odin PC to put EL26CWM back onto the phone, then boot up the phone into recovery. Then I flash gapps onto it, but before restarting flash the kernel thats supposed to come with CM9. Right?
Now, I don't really like the recovery that comes with CM9, I feel like the display is a lot darker and I don't have as many options. Can I use another recovery?
Also my boot screen is for the I9100 and it has a yellow triangle. Whats that about?
Don't worry about the yellow triangle for now. We'll get rid of that later. And about the recovery, no. Leave the one that it comes with. If you flash a gb kernal then your phone won't boot. And the ice recovery isn't safe. And it won't be until source comes out and our devs make a safe cwm for pics. Til then, just stick with what you've got.

Yesterday I tried updating to CM9 alpha 6 and when i updated i got stuck in a boot loop. it wasn't a clean install from 5 then when i got to the bootloop i did a factory reset and I'm still stuck. Someone told me it was possibly a bad ROM file. He told me to reflash a kernal and see if it boots up and if that doesnt work try flashing a newly downloaded CM6 Rom. I flashed the FF11 kernel and now i cant boot into recovery. If i hold power and up, it just boots normally put gets stuck in the CM9 animation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try to Odin back to el29 that should do the trick just would have to start everything all over again.

Ok so let me see if i got this process correctly, odin to el29 which puts me back on GB TW, then i boot into recovery then install the ROM? do i need to reflash gapps? also another question. I did a factory reset on my phone, that doesnt delete the internal storage partition that the phone reads as "sd card" correct?
Yes factory reset does not delete internal SD memory. You don't have to go back to gb. Just go into download mode, Download el26 cwm kernel and flash that through odin/PC and wipe everything. Flash cm9 alpha 6 and gapps. Should be good to go.

Why was it necessary to start two threads about this? You can only restore recoveries made in cwm6 from cwm6, so reflash PA, boot into recovery wipe and restore. If that does not work for you you're doing something wrong or something is wonky with your backup.
