Alright im having a bit of a problem and I cant seem to find any threads to help me. I recently flashed an Epic 4G for my girlfriend to a different carrier and while flashing, I installed the CWM from the video QT has on youtube with CWM 5.0.2.7 or whatever and well I flashed CM 10.1.2 over stock before reading MTD and BML and such (Yeah Im an idiot) so I went back to stock 2.3.6 but now when I follow QTs guide and try to do it again to flash deoxed rooted rom, it gives me an error and says (bad) after zip for every/any zip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you back on stock FC09? If not, then which one are on?
v5.0.2.7 is for BML Roms only.
V5.5x.x+ are MTD Roms only.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm back on Stock FC09.. No matter what zip I try to flash it fails and says (bad).. I can only think maybe I did something when I went from stock FC09 to CM10.1.2 MTD then reflashed back to stock fc09?

Well, redownload v5.0.2.7 (can get from my devhost in Sig), and Odin that in without reboot checked. Then 3-finger boot to recovery. From there you can flash whatever ROM you want.
If you're on stock FC09, then the stock kernel has reflashed stock recovery since the last time you flashed CWM. On top of that, this would mean you're trying to flash from within stock recovery, which is a no no.

That's where I'm at now. I have the recovery just every zip when flashing tells me (bad) and none flash

OK, so when you 3 finger into recovery it says Clockworkmod 5.0.2.7 at the top? It is possible that either you have bad downloads of the ROMs or the sd card is bad. Which ROM are you trying to flash?

When I redownload and odin it and 3 finger it; it still says bad.. I know it isnt stock recovery because it says on top CWM 5.0.2.7 based.. :S Im not that new in flashing thing, Ive flashed a D2G and an Epic touch so idk
Did you include the PIT file when odining the stock FC09? It should have automatically checked repartition then.

See I thought it was the SD card too so I tried a different one with same results. Im trying to install the odexed one in QTs video... The already prerooted stock rom Ive also tried a few others all with same results :S Sorry for the double post btw.
OK, I recommend you start over. Odin in the FC09 tar and include the PIT file so repartition is checked. Once you have pure stock on the phone then this thread should follow the video by Qbking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006687. Choose the MTD version for ease to get to CM10

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?

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.

I'm currently running the stock EL29 with root and CWM but whenever I try to install a custom rom (AOPK, CM9, etc...) through CWM, it says "Instillation Aborted" as if they weren't made for this phone when I know they were. What's going on?

Silly question, and not assuming, did you use autoroot for cwm?
May want to Odin to el26 and autoroot cwm ans try it that way.
I personally Odin back to el29, autoroot, and (knock on wood) never had an issue.

Usually that happens on a bad download. Did you download them on your phone or PC?
It turns out that is was just the version of CWM that I was using but now I have a new problem. I flashed CM9 and everything worked EXCEPT the data connection so then I flashed AOPK and had the same problem. The only way I can get online is via wifi. How do I fix this?

I started from scratch and followed all the steps until I ended up in the same boat. AOKP Build 38 working perfectly EXCEPT data. I tried the EL29 and FE10 kernels but neither made a difference.

Try going back to gingerbread and flashing the EL26 kernal. Then flash the ICS rom you want through that recovery.
AOKP and CM9 have problems with data. every time you or system turn off screen say goodbye to data until 1.enable disable airplane mode or 2.reboot that's the main reason I stay away from these awesome roms until source arrives.
These roms are the best. IMO
1.odin back to stock el29 full reset oc
2.boot update profile and prl
3.copy the rom files to sd
4.turnitoff it off
4.enter download mode and flash el26+cmw for AOKP or el29+cwm direct boot for CM9
5.clear cache, factory data reset, clear dalvik on advance menu
6.go back and select install zip from sd card and choose the rom and flash it
7.flash gapps if apply
8.go back and select reboot system
9.enjoy these awesome roms.

I think I FINALLY got it to work. I started stock with rooted EL29 Odin-OC, flashed the "StockCWM-EL26.tar.m5d" in Odin, flashed the AOKP build 37 rom, flashed gapps, then flashed the FE16 kernel AND modem. When I rebooted the data was working.
Not that I am advocating this, and I am far from an expert, but I odin flash a stock rooted rom (SPH-D710.FC22_CL287574_ROOTED-oc-sfx) without going back to el29 just to have a nice clean stock rom to flash over with something else (like FIFO2). I just try to make sure I do everything in the same session so I don't get stuck in a stock recovery.
My order when flashing (non-Odin):
calkulin's format all
Modem (sometimes...if newer is available)
Rom
Kernel (with a custom recovery; sometimes the roms come with a stock recovery so if you reboot before installing a custom one, you'll have to either use odin to flash a custom recovery or mobile Odin)
any additional items that the rom didn't include (like gapps, etc.)
reboot
---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------
Another thing to keep in mind is that AOKP was ported to the E4GT. That could cause issues depending on what you're coming from. Make sure to read all the instructions from the dev before flashing. If the worst happens, buy insurance on your phone and smash it...That's what I did with my evo when I bricked it.
When are you allowed to reply in the dev section I am having an issue with a kernel I installed and need their help.

Trying to get custom recovery on my phone I am rooted but with stock recovery. I flashed Agats FH13 and FH23 both flash fine the only problem is now my sd apps disappear and when try to download them again USB storage fail . So I re flash the stock rooted kernel and the problem goes away.
I did try moving all sd apps to the phone first before flashing and that did allow to move back to the sd card but once restarted phone they disappeared again. I would prefer Clock Works since I use Rom Manager but can't figure out how to flash that one with a zip if I have stock recovery. Thank you so very much for your help.

Use Odin to flash the Kernel/Recovery that you need..
You can also use sfhubs autoroot to flash agats FF18 src and then change from there. I didn't think about that.

I highlighted your first problem. Rom Manager is a no-no for this phone and can brick it.
Agat's recovery works just as well as CWM IMHO... and probably safer since he codes against triggering the eMMC bug.
Well I want to get CM9 nightly but when I searched from their site the Epic 4g Touch is not listed. I tried the Samsung S2 file but that failed do they have it under another name? Can't find it under D710 either. Thanks
Also I will get rid of Rom Manager. Thanks

As patrao_n said, use el26 cwm or an Agat kernel/recovery and try. Let us know how it goes..
Since you can't flash, use Odin or mobile odin to get to one of those recoveries.
I will definitely try that when I get home. I can flash recovery with no problem I was able to reflash my current recovery without any issue but I still have the same error when trying to flash my ROM

Hi,
I'm having issues installing CWM Recovery on my Rooted GN2. It's the Canadian variant, SGH-I317M.
It does go through the process of flashing the recovery, but never gets to saying PASS in ODIN. When I try to get into the Recovery, it still has the stock Samsung Recovery. It does, however trip the flash counter.
I'm followiing the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988785
This is what I get after flashing in ODIN.
Maybe a bad download? Have you checked to see if it installed? I dont usually recommend this but koush's Rom Manager supports our device now, you can use the app to flash it if your already rooted:thumbup:

While doing the 3 button combo to try to boot into Recovery, I was using Vol-DOWN, instead of Vol-UP. So I was going into download mode. I'm going to try flashing the CWM through ODIN again and see if I was just an idiot the whole time.
***EDIT***
It looks like I was just an idiot the whole time...
*facepalm*

I thought of cleanROM but it is pretty stock. I feel if im going to flash any rom i might as well go with something modded and tweaked rather then stock, while keeping most of the note 2 and s-pen features. If i start finding them being a little buggy or draining my battery or anything, ill settle with cleanROM and just flash some custom mods.
i flashed my CWM through MobileODIN. worked like a charm. then i ran into issues with backing up to extSD, which ended up working after i formatted it but i took way longer then onto internal SD.
i know its off topic for this thread..Any suggestions or thoughts on the JEDI X9 and SKYNOTE roms will be great guys. Im all backed up and ready to flash pretty quick here.
I guess you have custom ROM. You must root and rename recovery restore files before you boot to android or stock recovery will be restored.
