[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
For the last two nights, I've tried to flash with this ROM (first ROM flash, the phone was purchased Saturday) and everything seems to going just like the YouTube video provided by qbking77, until the restart. On restart, the phone will stay on the screen that says, "Samsung" that you get when you restart the phone normally. the night before last, I lost patience after about 30 minutes and Odined everything back to stock. Last night, I let the phone try to restart all night and this morning, it was still stuck on the same screen.

Two questions about this. One, is this a normal length of time for the first time flashing a ROM? If not, what is? Two, What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your advice (for course, I will give a "thanks" to answers:)).

Did you use cw3?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
Yes, I did.

Did you covert to ext3 first, then flash then reboot?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
I was running EC05. I coppied the ZIP file to my SD card, set the handset to UBS Diagnostics, ran the "run.bat", in CW3.whatever from my PC, cleared all three caches, three times, and loaded the ZIP file from the SD chip. I thought that CW3 converted to ext4.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
If you're capable of using Odin, then just use the Odin CWM link in my signature. From there, you can flash a pre-rooted EB13 Deodexed Stock with CWM 3. You can update it to EC05, before you flash, after, or never, and you'll be fine.

I also have Syndicate Rom Frozen linked in my signature.

That should work for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
I'll give that a shot when I get home and let you know how that works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
One of the things I did, was just reflash the ROM right overtop itself.

I have flashed this ROM many times, and every now and then the first flash wont take for whatever reason, I just pull the battery, go back into CWM, and reflash the ROM again right overtop itself, and it normally works.

note: boot times longer than 5-10 and you got an issue

Also, make sure you are using Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.6 and not version 2.5.5, as 2.5.5 does not support EXT4, and I think that the ROM is EXT4
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
Odin a prerooted ec05 ext4 tar, I have 2 diff packages here on xda.. then flash srf over that.. good to go. I wouldn't even mess with the eb13 tar, because then you have to odin the modem again seperately...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
That might be my issue, since the version that I was Odining was EB13 and then the carrier updated to EC05. That actually makes sense (although, I don't really know what the "under-the-hood" differences between the two are).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
You would think, but I actually got a better official update to EC05 during my tests. Regardless, I actually have found EB13 to have better signal.

Either way, pre-rooted should make it easy for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charliehorse1967:
Random,

Once I figured out exactly the steps to take, everything worked! WOOT! A thousand thanks to everybody who input in this!

For anybody out there having the same problem, follow these steps:

0) Download and install the drivers for your Samsung Epic 4G (Found here).

1) Download the ROM

2) Either copy the whole ZIP file onto your microSD Chip by using your USB cable or by unmounting it and using the SD slot adapter and plugging into the appropriate slot on your computer. (Just place it in the root directory)

3) Click on RandomKing's link above in his signature that says "CWM Odin" (this is a pre-rooted Sprint stock ROM)

4) Uncompress the file onto your Desktop (it's an RAR file, so you're going to need either WinRAR or 7ZIP).

5) Turn your phone off and unplug your USB Cable.

6) While holding the "1" key, power up the handset (you'll get a funny looking icon of the Android shoveling)

7) Plug in your phone in to a soldered USB port (as in ON THE BACK of the machine).

8) Double click the Odin3+v1.61 file.

9) Add the .pit file to the "pit" box.

10) Add the other file to the "PDA" box.

11) Click "Start" button.

12) Wait for it to finish and reboot.

13) Reboot again, this time your going to use the "3-button-power-on" (While holding the down volume button and the camera button, power on the phone)

14) Clear your caches (three times each: data/factory reset, cache partition and Dlavik cache [that's under advanced], by scrolling to them in the menu and pressing the camera button)

15) Select "Install zip from SD Card"

16) Choose your ROM and press the camera button

17) This should take something less than 15 minutes total, including restart

18) Enjoy your New Phone!

i think we will be placed first again all O2X users :p:p:p:p
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
Yes & no, because the Xperia Arc is a new premium handset. The Desire HD is long in the tooth at 6 months old, but I guess they just couldn't get their hands on a Samsung S2 in time. What it does show, that even if the S2 beats the O2X in some areas, the 2X is still one of the very best phones available right now, and should be relatively future proof (well as future-proof as is possible, though the HTC Desire has done very well in that respect!)
[LG Optimus 2x] Tr0gledyte:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
There's a few items that I need to install seperately every time I flash a rom. Is there a simple way to make a workable .zip or is it complex?

What I need to install each time:

Battery mod

Voice dialer

Keyboard

The batmod and keyboard are currently in zip files, so I was wondering if I could merge these easily. The only voice dialer apk I have requires me to manually place it in the correct folder with r/w access.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
while i don't have a direct answer to your question.. you can reboot recovery in the CWM menu.. so you still install only one item at a time, but its much quicker than rebooting the phone completely, then going back into recovery.

Just a little tip if you didn't know:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Just take all three files in your seperate zips, and throw them in the rom zip in their respective folders ... Flash.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demonic240:
Wouldn't you still need to modify the rom zip so that the files install properly?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Well thee battery mods are in a framework-res.apk that is overwritten, so thatwouldn't make a difference, and I've never had issues just dropping apps in /data/app or /system/app. It just flashes the whole folder it doesn't have instructions for every single app.

Yup, that will give you an example of what the script should look like...

Please help -- how to flash this new stock gingerbread rom to a rooted g2

I have a rooted G2 running CM7, but the gps is totally dead. I'm too much of a noob to flash a new radio, which I think would do the trick. Flashing this stock gingerbread rom seems like the perfect solution because it includes an updated radio and i am just sure it will fix the gps problem.

I bought the phone rooted and I know how to flash new rooted roms through clockwork (so easy), but I have absolutely no idea how to flash a rom like this that updates everything.

I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but can someone just point me to a step-by-step instructions about how to flash this particular stock gingerbread rom to a g2 that is rooted and has clockwork installed?

Thanks~! This is my first post.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Flashing a radio is easy. Just follow the steps in the radio thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

I know the second method (fastboot and radio.img files) is supposed to be safer. But that looks like it might be over your head, and you need the Eng Hboot to do it.

Flashing a ROM is easy, too. Just move the file to your SD card, and flash from ROM Manager. You will see an option "Install ROM from SD Card". Browse to the file, and the rest is the same as if you downloaded the ROM using ROM Manager.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sship:
Thanks, but a few more questions . . .

Thanks for the reply! I think you are underestimating how new I am to this, though. My question is really this: does it matter, when flashing the new gingerbread rom for g2 that just came out, that the rom is not just a rom, but also a radio and everything else? it is titled in the "PC10IMG" form, which seems to me, from reading other threads, to be a special thing.

[full title: PC10IMG_Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13.531.8_Radio_12.52.60.25_26.08.04.30_M3_release_188635_signed]

also, would you recommend that i wipe stuff before flashing? when the person who flashed my phone with me last time did it, he wiped dalvik cache and two others (can't remember which, or where he found them in recovery), and user data as well. but if you go to do it within clockwork, it doesn't ask you to do that, does it? again, i'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere.

sorry sorry to be so new to this! and thanks a ton for the help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
well, it's a bit complicate.

supposedly the rom will return your phone to a totally stock state, which will give you the new radio etc, but you will not have root - this was already confirmed. One other forum member mentioned that he flashed the rom and did not loose S-OFF, which is a controversy...

update: lol, dude having CM on your phone means you already have clockwork installed. you just need the /system part of the leak and it's available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074852
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Really all he needs to do is run vision efs wipe. This been gone over a million times. CM + gps broke = needing efs wipe. No need to get into radios and all that just yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] petarpLab:
you can solve your gps issues by following two basics:

1. match libs in /system/libs with your radio version,

2. wipe two partitions like it is explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028405

You don't need the new rom, though - it still has the 2 muted seconds when receiving an incoming call - for me that is the no go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I thought you were talking about the version of the leak that is mentioned in the last post (#10) and also mentioned above in post #4, which is pre-rooted. Thats the one you want. Flash from ROM Manager.

If you are talking about flashing this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074391

This is the official ROM, and as stated in the previous post, you will lose root. So you probably want to avoid this.

PC10IMG.ZIP files are flashable from Hboot (CWM not required). But since you have Clockwork, I believe you can flash any ROM or patch, as long as its a ZIP file. Its safer to flash from CWM anyway, so avoid Hboot for flashing ROMs.

Not positive, but I think you can keep your data since you are going between similar ROMs (Gingerbread, non-Sense). Wiping dalvik and cache are advisable. Not doing so when switching ROMs can lead to random bugs, and there is no real reason to not wipe them. You can wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. If you want to wipe data, you can also do that in recovery, under "advanced". But you will lose all your user data.

If you flash from ROM Manager, it will ask if you want to wipe. But I've never been clear on what all exactly is wiped (dalvik, cache, data). It might be all 3 of those.

Sorry, I've just stated a bunch of things I'm not completely sure about. So hopefully somebody else can confirm these.

The good news is, do a backup of your current ROM in ROM Manager before you flash anything, and if you screw up anything, you can just go into recovery and load your backup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sship:
please help -- do not want to brick:)

I actually would prefer this to flashing a version of this rom that someone else has extracted/altered, however little. My fear is two things:

1 -- Will it brick my phone to flash a PCIMG file? (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484)

2 -- what do I have to do differently to flash a PCIMG file other than what I normally would do in clockwork to flash another rom (for example a CM rom)

THANKS!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sship:
I have tried that, to no avail. I see others who have tried that and failed, and things seem to get tricky after that. I agree, I would rather avoid the nitty gritty stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Chris41336:
So I am devastated to see that there is no lock animation =(. That was something I was really looking forward to, despite the insignificance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
My opinion, you're better off flashing the rooted ROM. If you flash the official PC10IMG.ZIP, you will lose root, and not be able to get it back without downgrading (negating the purpose of flashing the official ROM in the first place).

Are you worried about malicious, or accidentally harmful modifications to the ROM (in the rooted version of the leak)? I don't worry much about ROMs for reputable developers. But admittedly, I don't know anything about that user that posted the rooted version of the leak.

In response to your questions:

1) As the thread you posted indicates, its safer not to flash those files unless you know exactly what you are doing.

2) I think you can flash from Clockwork. But as I said, if you aren't sure what you are doing, its not a good idea. You will lose root, and I think some people have also gotten S-On by flashing the official ROMs also. I which case, you may be pretty screwed (as far as getting root), since you can't flash other ROMs with S-On.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mr. Shaggy:
Alright so I've reading through all sorts of different forums and feel lost and exactly what to do. I downloaded the official 2.3 update ROM for the G2 that Football had released off of a mirrored site from my phone's browser then renamed it PC10IMG and moved to the root of the SD card. I then did the whole volume down + power button to load the zip but for some reason it says:
