Not to sound rude or anything but I know how to properly flash a rom. I really do apprecaite the work you guys do but I think it's something to do with my hardware. We tried to troubleshoot it with a few developers a few pages back and nothing. I finally figured out a method to get it working and I'm writing it up right now so maybe TD can add it. It might be a rare bug but it's still a bug lol. Hopefully this contributes somewhat to the great work you've all done for this phone. Thanks a bunch again to all you guys btw.

I finally managed to make it flash properly and not get stuck on a bootloop!!! TD if you want to add this to a FAQ just incase anyone else gets a phone that refuses to flash it like I did.

If the flashing instructions in the Original Post do not work for you please read here.

Make sure you check and double check your MD5s on the Rom and Kernels!!

Make sure you have flashed either EL26 or EL29 repacked with CWM5 through mobile ODIN

Boot up into the repacked recovery which should be Clockworkmod 5 (Blue Theme)

Manually wipe Cache and Data

Locate the JellybeanX2 Format and flash it once

Reboot into recovery and flash the JellybeanX2 script for a second time

Flash SHOstock3 ZIP (Remember to have checked MD5 before flashing)

Once it has finished flashing reboot system

Now let it load for a good 5-10 minutes. You should see the soft keys light up and that's how you know it's properly booting up

If after 10 minutes the soft keys do not light up and you notice it keeps rebooting then continue with the following

Reboot again back into the recovery which should be Agats recovery (Green Theme)

Manually wipe DATA and Cache again

Flash JellybeanX2 format zip

Manually wipe /preload. You can do this by going to "mounts and storage" in the main menu then towards the bottom "Format /preload"

Reboot system and you should get a bootlock on the Samsung screen. Let it sit there for about 3 minutes

Reboot back into recovery and flash the SHOstock3 ZIP again

Reboot System and wait 5-10 minutes. You will notice the softkeys lighting up and it will finally boot.

This is the process that I finally figured out that would work after trying everything over a few days. This is pretty much the failsafe for anyone having issues with flashing it which only seems to be me but hey who knows who will flash this years from now and might encounter the same issue.

I know this is the wrong thread but its still related to SHOstock. Coming from Paradox GB27, flashing EL29/26 does not install CWM. Ive tried multiple download and files, no luck. It freezes on first Samsung logo. Volume up and power reboots to same. Do I need to be on a specific rom or kernal first before I can flash EL29? Im so dreading not having this rom. Thx!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Continue holding power and volume up and it'll reboot a few times then finally load. If that doesnt work read my previous post. Get the kernels from these links here and check MD5. If you need further help let me know. Make sure you flash through Mobile odin.

Go into download mode and use pc Odin for the el26cwm kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
That was the first way I tried. No luck. That kernal doesnt like my phone anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Try el29

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
Make sure it's not connected to your charger while you're doing the process. Mine refuses to boot up at all when I have it on the charger cable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Yup yup. Tried that as well. Only because when I do have it connected to the charger it does show the image of a battery but

its frozen. It doesnt show the battery charging. Its just a grey battery. So I disconnect charger and the only thing i get is the

samsung logo over and over. What Rom should I switch to that has an el26 or el29 kernal built in? I can try that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Sounds like a problem with the cable or usb port on the phone. I would check for anything stuffed up in there like pocket lint, pull the battery and douse the crap out of it with alcohol and then let it dry.

Since this is your situation, download mobile odin and use the tar versions of Chris41G el26 or the el29 and flash them that way.

I would suspect stuff transferred from pc via the cable as possibly getting corrupted too. If you get desperate, you can purchase a mini-SD adaptor to usb converter, remove the mini-SD from the phone so you transfer stuff back and forth right on the pc.

Edit: And I meant clean the usb port with alcohol if possible, not the battery. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
Excellent thought and something i did not tell you.

I have not been able to copy files to or from computer. My usb connection does not work to transfer files. My phone does charge if i connect to a computer though.

So there is an issue with that. However, i have been downloading the kernels through my phone for mobile odin and

i already had kernels on my computer to flash pc odin.

I will try to clean the port as best I can.

I'm going to sprint later for my wife's phone, would sprint check out my usb issue if i have a custom rom installed?

That usually happens if you flashed using agats. It's a common problem known to cause app fcs like crazy and instability. Try flashing again and back up apps.

Did you follow the instructions and use EL26 or EL29. These are problems that occur when flashing with a recovery such as agats. Multi window adds and removes by pressing the edit function at the button then you hold press on the apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajones23:
No I flashed with EL29 direct boot. But somehow when I go to recovery its agats v0.3.5.

The ROM flashed that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajones23:
Yes, what does yours say. I thought it was wierd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
ajones23, what btoddweber responded to you with is a statement of fact, not a question. He's not asking you if the rom flashed agats recovery, he's telling you it did. Agats recovery is whats included with the kernel for this rom. You only use el26/el29 to flash this rom and once flashed you now have a new kernel/recovery installed, agats v0.3.5.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajones23:
Sorry he made it sound like there was a different recovery. And I know what el26 and el29 are, sorry for the confusion.

Bootanimation

Did I miss something about the Bootanimation?

Since I flashed this ROM a bout a week ago, I thought it was booting up with "stock" Samsung (blue spinning thing).

Today I looked around the ROM.zip and found this cool custom SHOstock3 animation. Need I do some "black magic" to "activate" it?

Also I've noticed that when I change some settings under Developer (screen animation time, etc), it resets upon reboot. That should not be happening, right?

MMS is working for me, after setting APN to my carrier (Ting) without problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes, you have to replace bootanimation and samsungani in system/bin with modified ones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kozmo2k4:
Well, the custom (SHOstock3) bootanimation.zip is already in /system/media by default...

AHHH Hell YES!! THANK YOU!!! I just rebooted my phone 3x in a row just to watch that beautiful boot animation. If you're a gearhead just DO IT!!!

We installed this ROM on an ATT model a month or so ago for a customer and I thought it would be badass if this worked on the Sprint S2. Here I am tonight and I've found it!! Not much of a Ford fan like the OP/dev of this ROM obviously is, but anyone can appreciate a boosted V6. I prefer the GM 3.8 with the Eaton M90 myself, but I digress. This ROM is beautiful inside and out except for that one fatal flaw...INCOMING MMS!!! I can deal with it because the only person who sends MMS is the lady and she has no problem emailing but when something is this good there is always hunger for it to be perfect. I'm an nTelos user and have thrown all of the typical MMS fixes for nTelos at it. Dialing ##3282# and editing the MMSC URL does not work nor does our proprietary app OR GO SMS with APN configuration. If OP/dev is able to make MMS work for Sprint flawlessly, I am confident nTelos/other 3rd party/MVNO users will be able to benefit as well. After 100's of different phones with working MMS on nTelos, this is the first that I am stumped. If there's anything I can do to help the dev make things work right, let me know!! If it helps AT ALL, the APK we normally use to make MMS work on nTelos-flashed phones is located here: http://www.nfuzewireless.com/mms/.

If that doesn't work, we install GO SMS Pro and go to Settings>Advanced>Fill APN Manually> http://mms.ntelospcs.net

Hopefully this miniscule and obscure bit of information helps JUST A LITTLE. I can upload another apk we use later today as well!!
