Trouble Installing Rom

I am having lot of trouble installing Rom on my Epic 4g touch. I am not sure where I am doing wrong.
Here are the steps i followed to install a new rom
1) Installed SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-oc-sfx.exe (EL29)
2)E4gtAuto Root options C and L (CWM+ Rouge)
3)Calkulins format all * also did cwm wipe
-- Now my phone is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S screen but I am able to go to download mode and/ cwm
4)Copied Calkulin\'s_E4GT_ROM_v2.8.1.zip
--When i reboot it My phone is stuck at Samsung Galaxy S 2 screen.
What ever ROM I install it just gets stuck Samsung galaxy S2 Screen
Rom's I tried
1)Calkulin
2) Unamed Rom
3)ICS leaked Rom.
Guys I really appreciate your help.

Re download the ROM and this time wipe without using the format all zip, install the ROM. If it still wont work, reinstall the recovery through Odin, that may be your problem.
1 wipe data, system, cache
2 install .zip (ROM) from sd
3 reboot.
Sounds like from your post your skipping step 2

Am i still missing something
1) Restored to pre rooted stock based on EL29 rom
2)Flashed Rouge recovery using ODIN (difference i see between auto root and ODIN based flash is I see yellow triangle)
3)Downloaded Unnamed Rom
4)Wipe (Factory reset, System,Cache)
5)Install zip from SD card(external card)
Again it stucks on Samsung Galaxy S2 screen with yellow triangle.
Thanks for your help.
update: I am able to flash Calkulin but not any other ROM

Try wiping cache and data after the new ROM install. So wipe, install, wipe, reboot.

[Q] Stuck after ROM flash

I have the Sprint S3 with 4.1.2. Last night I rooted it and it worked fine. I then flashed CWM Recovery and rebooted, all was fine. Tried to put on Liquid Smooth rom and didn't have gapps, attempted to flash gapps but came up with error. Got fed up with it and tried to flash the Synergy Rom. I cleared dalvik and cache, made a backup and flashed. Went through the whole process and auto rebooted afterwards. Went to SAMSUNG on boot and screen went black before finishing and will not go further. I can get into stock recovery but not CWM Recovery. I'd like to have the liquidsmooth rom on there but i also downloaded the stock 4.1.2 rom just in case. How can I get past this to get into either CWM recovery or somehow flash a rom from Odin? I'm stuck.

So you were able to get into the custom recovery (CWM) a couple of times before flashing Synergy Rom, but now it's reverted to stock recovery? When you turn your phone off and hold Volume up, menu, and power it boots into the stock recovery? I've never heard of that happening before.
The best way is to re-do your root process through Odin a-la qbking77's tutorial. This will install CWM again and then you can flash away. Make sure you check your md5sums on the Rom files you downloaded before flashing them. That's the most common cause of bad flashes around these parts.

I've ended up fixing it but had to flash stock 4.1.1 on it from Odin and then it automatically went to 4.1.2 after reboot. Thanks
But yes, it was going to CWM just fine before I flashed Synergy after Liquidsmooth. Thats how I put on Synergy. But at least it was just a soft-brick.

Did you wipe (everything) between flashes? Even roms of the same version can have issues if you flash one over the other
By everything I mean /system, /data (factory reset), dalvik cache, and cache

I flashed a rom and now my phone is just rebooting

I rooted my phone, downloaded the jedi mind trick rom and attempted to flash it. I deleted and format my phone in CWM and i installed the rom from an internal sdcard. Now it keeps resetting and wont turn on. What should I do now?

Have you tried jamison's cache wipe?

Im downloading the stock telus rom in an attempt just to start from the beginning. When I flash it I'll get back to you. I was rushing when I rooted it the first time I guess.

Okay so I've done that and have rooted it using the s2 toolkit. what steps should I take to ensure the jedi mind trick rom can be successfully flashed?

Okay I tried reflashing it again... Didn't work, I have the same problem. I did the factory settings, and wiped the cache and flashed the rom. I then went into advanced and cleared the Devac (sp) cache and fixed permissions. I rebooted and it didn't work. It starts, gets to about the loading circle graphic and just resets

I used Darkside super wipe and it worked for me...
ive done it like this.
flashed original stock rom via odin
Root via S2 toolkit
flash cmw with toolkit as above
and flash custom rom via s2 toolkit
and after that used darkside superwipe

thanks for the tip, I tried the darkside wipe but it still is happening.

I have the same exact thing. But for me it's different. It started with the PACman 22.0.1. Whenever I press the power button to turn on/off the screen, it would restart a couple of seconds later being stuck in an infinite reboot loop. Can't get into recovery mode (used TWRP 2.3.3.1 and 2.5). I somehow managed to revert back to stock which worked properly. Rooted and installed PACman 22.1.1 ROM and it's still stuck on a reboot loop.
I don't know if it's a hardware problem (wiring off power button to the circuit is damaged) or a software code that messed up the machine code in the circuit.

i had the same when i installed wrong kernel and radio...try it like this..instal stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359
and then try cwm recovery version from the s2 toolkit (try non touch ver.)
and then try flashing

try doing a factory reset, wipe cache and install rom. don't wipe cache or anything after that until after it boots. btw don't use cwm wipe cache, try the one that is stickied in development forum.

[Q] n7100 probam rom stuck at boot

I recently tried installing probam rom v4.4.9 from xda threads and followed all the instructions. everything worked fine up until the thread said to reboot the phone once more, anyway long story short i rebooted it and it was stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo (white letters black background) it was stuck like this for around 5-10mins at which point i pulled the battery and decided to go back to using rootbox rom.
Is their anyway i can install probam rom without this happening again?
I've also tried downloading and installing probam version 4.5.0 from their own website following the instructions given on xda, but once its booted from twrp it'll work until i have to reset, at which point i am back to square one, being stuck at the galaxy note 2 logo.
I have also tried installing pacman rom because i would like to use a 4.3 rom but the same thing happens, the rom will work fine until i have to reboot or it randomly reboots and gets stuck at the note 2 logo.
the only roms i am able to use without this happening are moon rom v10, rootbox rom and carbon rom, only thing is i would like to use different roms and check out their features, but i am somewhat limited to what i can use due to the above problem. Does anyone else have this issue? If so how did you get past it?

Haven't had the problem myself. Did you also format the system partition and not just wipe it? Wipe the data partition?
Perhaps you can try installing a stock firmware through Odin, reinstall your recovery. That might clean some thing up that keep you from booting in probam rom.

[Q] Help on loading rom

Hey everyone I have the Canadian bell carrier galaxy s3 which is rooted and I had used couple rooms such as Miui which I loved but was very buggy but recently been trying to load up roms and after it completes the install I click reboot nothing happens the screen is black so I have to boot to recovery and restore from backup tried multiple ones and same thing
1 I backed up on clockworkmod
2 performed factory reset, cleared Caches, cleared dalvik
3 installed from zip
Rebooted and nothing am I doing something wrong. Any advice would be appreciated thanks I just wanna run a stable version of the Nexus rom so I can just use it permanently

As far as I'm aware, that's an international ROM and impossible to flash.

The phone is rooted and clockwork mod to but someone told me the bootloader is Prolly not unlocked how do I find out if it's unlocked

I just tried to install the cynogen rom stable version and it said everything completed I rebooted and screened stayed black does anyone have a idea

With an issue like that I would do the following.
1. Wipe everything and I mean EVERYTHING!.
2. Return your phone back to stock/unrooted
3. Root your phone again and install your custom recovery (I like TWRP better as I've had less issue with it)
4. Before you flash whatever ROM, wipe everything again and then install your ROM
If that all doesn't work, I don't know what else will.
