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?

Just two two linked in the first post.
So, I got the RFS version of Supernova to flash (but without root?). My problem seems to be lying within EXT4. Any ideas?

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!

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.

No need the one click will Unroot and wipe your device. If you care about what you have now then root, Install recovery, back up your rom, and then flash. If not then just one click as long as you're n att.

Great job.
I got inventive and tried to port DN3 Gohan edition to DN3 1.0; failed attempt.
I think I got bit in the butt by update-script also.
I wasn't confident on my Belinda build, since I've been messing around. Glad you had it.
EDIT: READ !
The download link at dropbox for DN3_v3.1b_by_E-Team_(Trunks_Edition) - Fixed by SydneyBelinda.zip is full from too much traffic. I have PM'd OP. So how's about not posting every 30 seconds that the link is not working eh?
I won't be installing the new rom. I'll stick to a more friendly dev team.
I'll be donating to ptmr3 as soon as I have a couple extra bucks since he's the kind of dev I want to be around. No rom is worth being abused by the devs.

I took a crack at these instructions. I have to say they aren't the most informative.
It didn't work for me. I'd like to think I know what the hell I doing.
Unless there's no reboot in between the steps and you just flash your brains out and cross your fingers. Guess I could try that.
Not really understanding this from the instructions...
----> TWRP
(which version number ?, I used the latest openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar flashed in ODIN) I've read that version has problems, but unconfirmed. I never had problem with it.
-----> FLASHED 4.3 BOOTLOADER VIA ONE CLICK.
(When exactly is this done ???)
1. I started from scratch with the One Click 4.3 leak.
2. Flashed stainless ROM, setup at least google account
3. Did ODIN TWRP flash
4. Flashed DN3 Sydney fix.
Rebooted didn't flash the Devil kernel yet since it says it's fixed the wifi.
Boot loop.
Maybe that's what was needed to do.

I actually think the instructions are fine and the OP of this thread is awesome btw. I meant the ditto devs.
But in response to your question- you flash the bootloader first... which is basically what you did when you flashed the one click.
It also seems most of the problems with twrp 2.6.3.1 seem to be with the aroma installer.

Cool. Gotta run to a xmas program thing. I'll back down to 2.6.3.0. And try again.
And do you think you blow by the reboots and flash back to back to back, or reboot in between?
I've seen it done both ways.
Not busting balls on the instructions too much. But they leave a lot to interpretation. They are direct and to the point.
But that leaves it open to dumb ass questions. Like mine, do you reboot in between or not . : )

OK folks, everyone needs to take it down a notch, although this thread is helpful...calling one rom better than another (well, at least more "solid") is not essentially what we do here.

From all the all roms I have seen, its not available yet...
And as for the patch I was thinking of trying it but im afraid of bricking my phone. You can flash that rom as long as the rom doesnt install two files( which are carrier related). I just cant remember what files. Just read in that thread and look for those files. when u download the rom use root explorer and check that the rom doesnt have them in there.
Let me know how it goes ?

So to confirm, you tried the patch at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086394 and you got stuck on the flashing Samsung logo? Me being the noob that I am, I (stupidly) decided to simply go ahead and flash the N7100 version on my L900 following the instructions for the N7100 (original) varient. It of course bricked me, never got anything beyond the flashing Samsung logo, just does that forever until I pulled the battery.
However, by attempting to flash it I seem to have created other problems and here's where I'm stumped. I am now unable to restore my TWRP Nandroid I made of my stock rooted MK4 before flashing, restoring that results in getting stuck at the flashing Samsung logo (again). It doesn't matter what options I restore in TWRP (System, Boot, Data, etc) it has the same result: the flashing Samsung logo forever and ever and ever. I read somewhere that 4.4 (the DN3 ROM) messes with partitions because it enables multi user support...could that have anything to do with it? The only way I have been able to get my device back working is flashing stock unrooted MD4 TAR through Odin. I'd really rather not start from scratch though on my settings and everything though, and the only backup I have is that Nandroid, no Titaniums or anything else. Can you help me restore the Nandroid or is it a lost cause?

Well I haven't installed Philz recovery yet, but considering my Nandroid was made with TWRP will Philz even see it? The only reason I ask is because IIRC Philz is based off of TWRP, no? What I'm getting at here is that I'm pretty sure Nandroids from different recoveries, for example CWM and TWRP are completely incompatible right?
If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

If I can't restore the backup I made from TWRP in Philz am I dead in the water? If so, I guess I learned my lesson, that is to have a contingency plan such as Titaniums in place (particularly for settings). I guess I really didn't expect a Nandroid to just fail spectacularly...if TWRP really is completely borked up with backup/restore on 4.3 it would be nice if they had a warning somewhere in the recovery or on their site. I would think that would be kind of important to know before you try to use a backup made using their recovery...

Okay lets cover the backup types first. Philz will backup/restore in both twrp and cwm format but you have to select the option. Now about your backup it will still be no good since it was created with twrp.

now that we have 4.4.2 there shouldn't be a reason we cant get this rom ported
I saw on a thread that someone was using "Multiboot" to run CM11 as their daily driver but also having TW on it to use for WiFi calling and such.... I want to ask:
Was this a fib?
If not then how can I do it?
Is there a guide I can look at?
If it is possible then I would like to run CM11 and TW 4.1.2, I already have the images and ODIN for that. I never updated to 4.3 so I don't think that is a problem?
If you have help please quote my post so I can get a handy email of the response ^-^
Thanks

Good morning.
This describes me. I use CM as my daily driver but I use z999 Touchwiz ROM as a backup for the wifi calling.
Quick questions: are you rooted? Have you flashed a custom ROM/recovery before? Your answers will help me in answering your questions on how to do.

Simply follow this thread
It only took a quick search of "multiboot" in development to find this thread.

Get the AT&T version 2.12 - it has a fix in it for the External SD card that appeared in 2.11. While it's an AT&T recovery, it'll work fine on our phones as the TMO and AT&T S3 are the same phones.
Once you have the file, flash it via CWM and you'll have a MultiBoot TWRP as your recovery. The thread for the MultiBoot Recovery has a couple of Youtube videos that walk through setting up additional ROMs. I'm currently using z999 (Odexed 4.1.2 TW ROM) as my backup ROM to use for Wi-Fi calling.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you, I'll try this tonight. I searched multiboot online but didn't find anything and Tapatalk doesn't have a good search function :/

I have a question. This external SD Care problem, what was it? Was it an issue with the card getting unmounted? Or was it another issue?

For some reason, on the 2.11 version, I couldn't get the secondary ROM to see my external SD card. I backup all of my apps there - it was a pain to copy my backups to the internal SD card. There were a lot of comments about the issue on the AT&T forum and the developer put out a new version (2.12). However, he never put out a version for d2tmo - only d2att. So, I messed around with the install script and loaded the newer recovery on my phone. External SD problem solved.

Okay so I am researching how to do it and I believe I understand BUT the T-mobile TW file I have has to be flashed through ODIN, it's not a zip, and I want CM to be my stock ROM. So I was searching for a 4.1.2 TW rom (I prefer that version) and couldn't find any zip files...
Do you know how to help me? Do you know where to find a stock .zip flashable through recovery?
I followed all the instructions to use multiboot and I got the z999 touchwiz rom on there but then it wouldn't "find" my CM rom that was already on there so I ended up formatting and having no OS, so I tried to sideload but the multiboot stuff messed it up so I'm using ODIN to go back to stock >.> this has failed miserably.

The multi boot recovery won't "find" your CM ROM - it will always be the "internal" ROM. Multi boot will only show secondary ROMs in the multi boot menu. Anytime you want to boot CM, just boot the internal ROM.
Give me some time and I'll do a video on how to set up multiple ROMs.

Thank you! I'm gonna try it again today and see how it goes. Maybe I got confused because when I rebooted the phone it booted TW no matter what and I couldn't get it to boot into CM...there was no option to boot internal or whatever...
@Bass_Man25 I finally got it working!
I couldn't install it on the internal storage directory. So I ADB pushed the files to the /tmp folder and installed it off that and I finally have it working!

@Bass_Man25
Would it be possible for me to use a 4.3+ ROM using multiboot? I have the old boot loader or whatever that came with 4.1.2 along with those modems etc.
If it's possible to run a 4.4.4 aosp ROM on the old boot loader how come you can't run newer versions of TW? If there is a ROM I can use along 4.1.2 that'd be nice.
TW roms have Knox.

To be honest, I don't know. From what I've read, some of the 4.3 ROMS don't play nicely with MultiBoot. I haven't given it a try yet. If you're willing to give it try, please let me know what you find. The good new is, if you try it as a secondary ROM and it doesn't work, you can just delete it.
I'm sure this has been answered a million times an i apologize, I've search high an low for the last 6 hours an cant find a working solution. I've installed the Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 3.2 rom an all is well except the camera wont work. When i try to use the camera i get the "can't connect to camera" error, Any help would be great thanks,
.......
so this is the Q&A section right? Am i the only one getting this error? Am i doing something wrong? Were all here for the same purpose, to have some bad a** devices... ANY help would be great thanks

Interesting. Very weird it works on stock but not on aosp. Now that you have odined back to stock have you tried to re flash a aosp rom and check the camera? What stock rom are you odin-ing?
Are you also flashing any other mods or custom kernels?
I would try cm11 with just gapps installed and see what happens.
I doubt it's a hardware issue if it works on stock. Do you use any third party camera apps?
Sorry for lots of questions just trying to narrow down the problem.

well there's the TowelRoot option that would require you to download SuperSU and BusyBox from the playstore then there's using Odin to flash any Custom Recover for the D2lte then in that recovery flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip....then the most recommended is using Odin to flash the latest Philz Recovery for the D2lte which has an option to root the current rom that your on, under Philz settings

yes an all matches up. Im starting to think its my device. i was sent a refurb from sprint an im wondering if the previous owner messed with it...
so i gave wicked x a shot an its way kool and the camera works. still clueless as to why aosp roms camera wont work. Let the fun begin lol. thanks for the help guys i appreciate it
I got the same problem with my GS3. Tried several different roms and different builds of those roms that people reported having no problems with and still no fix.
Going to try Wicked X see what happens.
Ive been flashin roms for about 4years. I love aosp but then i had to try wicked X. Its absolutley amazeing. Ive had no reboots, no freezin, awesome battery life, and best of all... EVERY feature on the rom an of the phone works flawless!!! Try it ull be amazed lol
camera works fine on Wicked x. Don't like the rom though. So I'm switching back to 2.37 LS it worked fine on my previous device
I used LS 3.2 on my previous phone, galaxy nexus 4. For some reason i cant get the camera to work on my s3 on LS

Same here, I never ran stock rom on the phone. First thing I did was to root and flash the room.
I'm so use to LS since I ran it pretty much entire time for past 2 years. Very disappointed with camera issues in v3.0. Hope they get it taken care of soon.
