what happen is that i just rooted and added clockworkmod onto my epic and right after i went into clockworkmod to flash a theme and a keyboard at the same time and when i went to reboot it didnt reboot pass the samsung logo.
You probably just need to restore one of your nand backups in cwm
Did you try flashing the theme with a deodexed rom?

Nope, you are not bricked. Find the thread that returns your phone to stock. Follow the directions closely. Once that is done, re-root your phone. It sound like the poster before me was right, you tried to flash a theme on a stock rom that was not deodexed.
so whats a good deodexed rom i can use??
Personally I like the nebula dk28 rom

i have a nandroid of ji6. do i just apply that and flash a ji6 kernal? can someone link me to one if so? if not, can someone explain how to do it? thanks.
I believe you have to ODIN the official JI6 release (you can find it in the dev forum). Then you have to root, install ROM Manager, and nandroid your way back to where you were.
The key is to Odin a Rom, any Rom, that has the JI6 kernel.
Odin JI6 and then nandroid.
Nandroid doesn't install the kernel, so you would end up with a "brick" if you tried to nandroid on a 2.2 rom.
thanks guys! loving obsidian so far, but i think i need the signal strength boost from ji6.
Nope, I was on Obsidian and just flashed straight back to Bionic Fusion through clockworkmod recovery (straight, not through ROM Manager), and then Core kernel on top of that. I'm running perfect apart from slow market downloads (mostly my fault I think--accidentally deleted some system apparently and then restored; downloads work, but fussy)

that's because bionix flashes the kernal along with the rom. nandroid doesn't. that is why i asked if i could just flash the ji6 kernel after restoring my nandroid.
ATTN: Don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about.
On to the post:
You can feel free to nandroid or flash to/from anything. However, if your Obsidian install is like many other peoples, you probably can't do crap in recovery. In that case, you need to Odin. However, if your recovery does work, just flash the rom and the kernel (or just the rom, if the kernel is included)
OK ill give it a shot if I decide I don't like obsidian. Thanks.

By can't do crap do you mean can't flash or can't access clockwork mod? (I can boot into clockworkmod just fine)

Ah, sorry. I thought the issue was whether you have to ODIN back to stock in order to roll back from Froyo.
For me the safest was to ODIN JFD, then flash JI6.

Reboot into recovery,and flash the rom again. If you can. That will install the correct kernel for the phone. Hope this helps.

What he means is, flash a 2.2 rom at all. You flashed a 2.2 kernel on a 2.1 rom. This may have to be done through odin, however.
If it's stuck on the Vibrant screen (boot loop), it will not be able to boot into recovery, most likely.
Easiest fix would be to get the thing into download mode and flash the correct kernel through ODIN.

Haha. Correct. I forgot that stock is 2.1. I would Odin back to stock and start fresh.

Above is correct, get in download mode and reflash 959JFD. That is the safest and best way to fix, click the repartition and you will get a fresh stock install. You will lose your contacts and pics, etc if you do not already have backup........... but that is the way it is.... look in the bible it has all the info you need
i was looking through dev section and Q and A but cant seem to find out which clockwork mod do i need to restore my stock mt4g rom back up because each time i try i get stuck on the splash screen and nothing happens.. thanks a lot and i am a noob sorry
The latest one through Rom Manager 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6 and 2.5.1.2 all support Froyo based ROMs. Download Rom Manager from the market if you haven't already and flash 3.0.2.4, it handles both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.

That depends on what your trying to flash. If your trying to flash the pd15img you can't do that from recovery. If your trying to flash one the posted roms do as the previous poster suggested and download the rom manager

Currently running kernel 2.6.32.9 and firmware SCH-I500.EA01.
What's the best/safest rooting method?
What's your current favorite rom?
Do you have to reactivate your phone every time a new ROM is flashed (Verizon)?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT - rooted by follow the CM wiki using adb. I can't boot into clockwork right now, it just goes to regular. It was flashed using ROM manager.
Easiest rooting method I've found is Odin a custom rom that's already rooted. I like PWGB or tsmpoolparty. Using poolparty right now. I returned phone to stock. Download rom. Odin cwr (clockwork recovery) and flash it. If you go with PWGB you don't have to flash in cwr. For most others you do.
You can find the pwgb in the android dev section, it's a pure Odin file.

Go with the pwgb odin file, its a one file deal (+cwm)
hi im tring to download honeycomb explosion but it says its for deodexed e122 rom in the video. I dont know what that is? i have a rooted 2.3.5. with super user permisions. with CWM5 and thats it everything else is stock. so what is a DEODEXED EI22 ROm.
also if i install this theme how do i get it back to stock sansung gingerbread if i wanted to.?? thanx
A simple google of this will give you an answer on that. But easy answer is most custom ROMs are deodexed for ease of modding and stock is Odexed. You should run a nandroid backup of your system, flash a custom ROM then flash your theme. You don't like it then restore your backup.

This is stock deodexed, think this is what you're looking for.
