If stock drain and charge full about 2-3 times

If rooted drain battery and charge full than use battery calibration app from market

When I go to stock recovery (step 12) to wipe data, I can use the volume to move up and down, but it won't actually let me select anything with my power button.

It also says:

Also, I did everything else, and my about phone still reports Build number: StarBurst ROM v1.1

how do i fix this? I need to return the phone today

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
This guide doesn't really show you how to go completely back to stock, it's really a restore stock kernel + remove super user and wipe data if necessary guide...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
crap crap crap, I think the only way is if I have a nandroid backup before I installed a rom, but I don't think I have one anymore arhgajrhgajrh

is it possible to get someone else's nandroid and restore, also why won't stock recovery function for me? (see above)

nm stock recovery uses home button instead of power button

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] athlet1c:
Joe you have to unzip it, copy the Boot , cache and other files then place them in in the Clockwork/backup folder . Originally I did not have a folder , so i went in to there and made a backup and replaced teh contents with those from this one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Did you use the restore function? Not zip from sdcard!!!

You need to unzip the zip file then copy the folder into clockwork/backup folder in your internal storage then do this:

ZedoMax I would like to thank you for your contribution to the community. Your doing an excellent job , by the way. I Hope that other stuff blows over. Coming from the Evo community, this is a small venue. the Devs work well together
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
okay i put the folder in clockwork/backup (therefore clockwork/backup/zedomaxbackup) and now it says couldn't open directory, no files found. Tried also just putting the contents of the zip into the backup folder and same message. Now I'm creating a backup and seeing if that helps "set the stage" for me to insert this backup. Hope it works, got like 5 minutes to get to the store :P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] athlet1c:
That is what I did as well..... I used a stock kernel , but it put me in a loop
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
directory should be /clockworkmod/backup not clockwork/backup! :P

ugh, also in bootloop -- probably bc forgot to wipe dalvik and cache?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
It doesn't matter if you wipe or not the restore function CWM restores your entire filesystem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
oops, yes clockworkmod/recovery. Don't wipe, if you wipe after you restore, that will cause bootloops.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
Is this any different from deleting superuser with root explorer while still on root, flashing the stock kernel then doing a factory reset?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
I tried that but Superuser still stays, cause u need to remove the apps from the system/app folder, you can't remove it from android OS, hence this guide.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vandizzam:
I was rooted, I used root explorer to delete su from both directories then I deleted the apk from the apps directory. That got rid of the icon. I tried your method but I gave up because for some reason every time I flash a new kernel, i have to*** reset my modem*** and because I couldn't figure out that i had to press the home button in recovery. So I just said, "**** it" and tried deleting with root explorer and luckily it worked. Unless its still in there in some other folder or place I don't know about.

I appreciate the guide and your work.

***I have to reset my home modem to get wifi working on the phone again*****
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
u can do that too, of course! good work! gotta add that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:

I believe this is your best bet.

Just make sure you do a factory reset after your back to stock to really wipe the phone.

I'm trying to get stock with root. I followed the instructions and stopped at step 6. However, root is gone once I flash acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar. I've repeated the steps twice and verified both times that I had root before flashing acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar, but then lose it after that flash. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
It depends on which kernels you have been flashing but if you have no root, then that's perfectly fine.

But if you want root, then just flash this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1284092

then the acs-eg30-stock-blah-blah-blah

and you should have a fully rooted stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] probation:
That worked. The rooted version I was using was SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar. I'm not sure how that is different from SPH-D710_Zedomax_EpicTouchKernelStock-v1.tar but using this one and then the acs-eg30 did the trick. Thank you very much for your help and your work. :)

You need to flash a rooted kernel then try removing those su, superuser.apk first then flash the stock kernel, you should be good to go.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kynetx:
Followed the instructions about 5 times, but after I Odin the stock kernel, I stay stuck at a vanilla android boot screen, just like a previous poster. Unfortunately, a suggested linked thread no longer works. Suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kynetx:
Bottom line; I cannot get the stock kernel to boot. I'll go into more detail later.

<later>

From stock I rooted, then installed an early Zedomax Kernel, the one that comes with the Odin download in the rooting thread. From there, I went to the Midnight ROM for a while, then Odin'd the Zedomax v3 Kernel. This is the point where I tried to go back to stock. I applied the stock CWM backup, which booted, then attempted to remove root with ADB shell before I realized I needed to flash the stock Kernel. Did that, and from that point on, couldn't get the stock kernel to boot the stock ROM or Midnight ROM. Just got stuck at the "android" boot animation as a result of flashing the stock kernel or the waving blue grid animation from the Zedomax kernel.

I also tried the CWM .zip with the same results until my battery got too low to risk further flashing.

Presently, I'm running Midnight ROM with the Zedomax v3 kernel without any trouble but I'd still like to go back to stock until the LOS issue is solved in case I need to exchange my phone or have it serviced at Sprint. Presently, my binary counter is around 10. This is driving me nuts.

***Happy ending: Used this method and got back to stock:

I have gone through all these steps at least 16 times. I've followed them correctly. I restore to the stock rom provided in the this link. It boots, i check and see if its rooted and it is. So i go to the next step which is to flash the stock kernal. I do that. When it boots it's stuck at the vanilla android splash screen and stays there. I've done everything correctly. I don't understand. I've looked around and saw that others have been have this same problem also.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mmmajor:
I flashed the stock rooted rom provided in this thread..then i flashed the kernal ZedomaxEpic V3 in the this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1269437 . After that I flashed the stock kernal provided in this tread and followed the instructions to remove root...idk why it worked. My guess would be flashing the latest root kernal then flashing the stock kernal. Hope this helps. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
It worked because you need a kernel with root so you can have root to remove it. Well, confusing but works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kynetx:
I think there's more to it than that. I've been seeing more than myself and mmmajor having trouble going back to stock. I think there is something the stock backup and stock kernel aren't overwriting. I followed the instructions to the letter multiple times without any luck.

A symptom is the boot animations. At no point did going from one modded kernel to the stock kernel give me a stock boot animation back. It was always the boot animation of the last modded kernel I flashed.

I suspect there is something going on with partitioning or mounts, not sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
You can flash bubby's stock kernel after restoring to this stock CWM backup image and you will be back to stock!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yacko:
Im in the same boat as you (cant use bubby's stock kernel with the stock rom in this thread) . Im stuck on the Honeycomb boot. Funny thing is that any of zedomax's kernels fixes the lockup issue, however they all keep the honeycomb startup animation from V3. i think V3 kernel broke any chances of going back to complete stock.. ;/ Hopefully someone can figure this out..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
If you follow every step exactly, you should be able to unroot ur phone completely back to stock. That's all I can say, just try again. If you switch any of the steps, you will end up in a bootloop, I've done that about a dozen times.

Yes, u can completely unroot ur phone and take it back, btw Sprint reps like rooted phones, last time I took an Evo 3D fully rooted, overclocked with custom ROM, the guy just looked at me and told me he will give me a replacement, I am thinking he probably gonna swap his phone for mine. Well, that's a secret to getting your phone swapped, just tell them ur phone is like overclocked to 1.6Ghz, much faster than stock and watch their eyes roll over.

Oh I so need help...yikes

So I messed up on this. I'm now have a working phone that is still rooted and still has Superuser. Now when I do the volume up and power button it takes me to the blue screen that headlines:

Android system recorery (3e)

Enter: OK key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe date/factory reset

wipe cache partition

(I've also tried volume down and power and that just powers up my phone.)

So now that I have that the volume rocker takes me up and down but the POWER button will NOT select anything, just no response. I cannot reboot, apply, wipe nothing until I take the battery out and power up and it goes back to a working phone with root. It's weird as it's not bricked but I cannot do any flashing nothing. I cannot connect even to ODIN. I feel so stupid that I messed up as I'm trying to return to Sprint. I would so be thankful for a solution to this, if there is one. Next time I'm going much more careful and read all the directions 10 times but for now I feel screwed. Yikes Yikes Yikes.

Thanks, and thanks again if anyone has a fix.

I'm feeling really small right now.

I restored the stock backup from zedomax and then flashed the stock pulled kernel linked here. All of that went without issue. But when it started the stock boot screen was gone and it was the one that said android on the screen. Any ideas how to get it back to the stock one? I tried using odin with the Stock-EG30.tar and that went fine but some of the stock apps are missing out of that tar. No sprint navigator and no NOVA2.

Need some help.

I flashed to the Zedomax ACS kernel and want to go back to stock.

The instructions say: "*note - if you are not on a rooted stock ROM, you will need to restore your phone to a rooted stock ROM first, you can get a copy of rooted stock ROM here if you forgot to make a backup."

Does that mean I need to restore to a rooted stock ROM before restoring and an unrooted kernel?

I'm a little confused. To root I flashed epictouch4grootv1.zip which is 6.6 Mb. But to go back to stock I need to flash ZedomaxBackup.zip which is 318 Mb? Is that right?

And then, after flashing ZedomaxBackup.zip, I flash acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar which is 8.4 Mb? Right?

Thanks.
