[Q] Restore - Epic 4G General

Hello!
I've tried to flash 2.2 on my Epic 4. Everything did like it was supposed to be only problem is I didn't like it. So, I'm doing the restore from my previous Backup.
Do I need to wipe it before restore? I'm asking because I did once without wipe and it is not booting. Doing some sound and showing me Samsung.com. Nothing else.
Please, help me guys.
Thank you!

I think you are ging to have to odin back to 2.1 then restore. I could be wrong.

You are correct. Nandroid does not back up your kernal or modem so you will have to odin both of those. Here is a link to the instructions:
Flash to stock

Thank you! You are a savior.

Np man, I had the same thing happen to me first time I tried flashing dk28. Tried booting a backup and got to just where you are hehe

One more question.
If I want to flash just modem (dk28 as example) and then flash some custom rom what files I need for it? I mean just for a DK28 modem? Can you give me right link for it? There is so many and I got lost.

once you have the dk28 modem flashed you can flash any froyo rom you want. just make sure it isn't a rom with ext4 unless you do that whole process.

I Need Advice on reflashing

I recently flashed Team Whiskey's Onyx on my vibrant but im wanting to explore other ROM's. I want to try out Axura but im not sure what to do, I have heard that its best to flash or ODIN back to stock prior to adding a new ROM to avoid "GHOSTS" but i ain't afraid of no ghosts. Would i be able to flash a ROM zip without going back to stock.
Yep, you can flash Axura right over Onyx

Need help

Trying to install viper rom on my epic and when I'm in clockwork recovery mode it gives me this error:
E:/ Cant open / cache/ recovery/log
What does this mean? What can i do to resolve this. I keep getting errors when I try to install the rom.
I believe you are in the wrong version of clockwork. For the latest viperRom the cwm needs to be Orange 3.0.0.5
Reroot your phone with one click and try again. It appears your phone has lost root. If that doesn't work their are posts in the viper rom thread that describe a process of going back to stock and working your way to viper rom 4.02b. Another alternative is if you haven't flashed viper rom 4.01 first you might try that.

Dont think that is the problem I cant install any ROM s right now including the stock ROM.
Reflash one click root. It will reinstall clockwork for you and that might fix your issue. If not you might have to use odin to go back to stock. The links for this stuff is in the sticky above.

Yeah you need to instal the dk28 modem first. In the epic sticky their is a version of dk28 froyo that you can flash through odin. Try that and then one click root and then instal viper rom.

i need help to im stuck in clockwork 3.0.0 and my fone wont turn on can somebody help

Soft bricked and clueless please someone!

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!
Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'
Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM
The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..
And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell
I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now
Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

Doesn't really matter, go ahead and choose what you like.
Lads i seriously appreciate this.. if i get my note back up n running i'll be delighted!
so if when i flash this stock gb rom using Odin i don't need a kernel at all right?
again these must be frustrating questions but your really helping me out here

No, you just place the .tar file in Odin in the PDA section.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START
You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads
also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.
Guys im running midnote rom fine BUT it keeps vibrating every 5-8 seconds........................
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.. any ideas!???

MDH8 FW corrupted my sound

Well, I already have read that the last FW from samsung done troubles with locked bootloader and sound problems. I tried today flashing MDH8 rom like a stupid asshole. Then I decided to go back to the previous one and at the end I succsessfully reverted back to Omega MH1 but the problem is that All my sounds are gone.. Alarm, music. notifications nothing makes a sound..
Has any body also had it?
What can I do to solve that? Is it possible to solve it for now? Thanks.
Edit: guess Ill have to flash Stock MGG or MH8 trough Odin and then pray to god..
Any body?

It's safe. I was on Stock MH8 and rooted using latest CF-Auto Root and then flashed CWM and installed CM10.2, no troubles at all.
However I heard that once you flash a custom ROM it triggers flash counter and you can't go back to Stock ROM again. Don't know if it's true but another member mentioned it in another thread.
It's probably worth sticking with stock until we know more about it.

Im still on MH8 with root at the moment, but you could try a custom rom. If sound breaks again just rinse and repeat.

i9500 can't install recovery (Fixed)

Hi everyone. I was using my phone with stock rom for a while ans I wanted to pass to Miui cuz I heard 4.4.2 will be released soon.
I downloaded TWRP and tried to flash as I did everytime before with Odin. I flashed it and it rebooted, odin showed Pass with no errors, but when I tried to launch the recovery, it is still stock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I flashed it like this before and they always worked but this is not working. Is there another way to install this? I don't have root access but it wasn't an issue before. I have the usb drivers installed and debugging on. It was tricky to install drivers on Win 8.1 but it seems like installed correctly as it didn't showed an error.
Waiting for an answer please. I hate this exynos phone but my parents just not allowing me to sell this.

The rom you are currently on has nothing to do with your inability to flash the recovery. It's a completely different thing.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That should probably fix it.

You can maybe look for the latest official firmware from samsung and flash it. And after that try again the recovery. Here the Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
