Some questions about flashing a rom - Epic 4G General

i recently rooted my epic and am on 2.2 froyo dk28 build. i want to try the nebula rom. my clockwork version looks like to to low to be able to do the nebula rom.... How do i update it/where do i find a different version? and also where is the dk28 modem that it says i need. any help greatly appreciated!

Nebula rom is a great choice. You'll want to search for one click root 2.5.5 download it, unzip it, click run and it will put clockwork 3.x on there and convert all your files to ext4. Before you reboot do the wipe x3 then flash your rom everything should be good to go.
Editj Hey I'm sorry search for oneclickrootcwm3 that's the one you want. It's a sticky in the development thread.

And of course do your backups and all that jazz before you start.

i did use the 2.5.5 to root my phone, and it put clockwork mod 2.5.1.0 on my phone.....
edit: nevermind i found the cwm 3.0+ zip file. going to do that now, however, i still need this modem thing that they are talking about in the thread, does anyone know anything about that?

yeah I meant oneclickrootcwm3 sorry.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

so do i need to worry about that modem thing or is that included in the noobnl download of this cwm3.0?

No if you already have the dk28 rom on there you are good to go.

thank you so much for the help! one more question, when i flash this rom, what option do i choose: "apply update from sd card" or "install zip from sdcard"?
nevermind, i did some reading looks like its "install zip from sdcard"

"install zip from sd card" then pick "choose zip to install" and it will let you install the zip without renaming it.

Also one last thing if you don't know how to odin back to stock I suggest reading up to it. It's very useful if anything screws up......there is a wiki page on it.

uhh no sorry i dont. Im not a complete noob i just dont know how to, so if you have a link to instructions thatd be cool. But what would i put in the cwm zip?
after some research im pretty sure i can create a zip file. Now what should i put in it?
Okay look at the theme zip and find files that effect the things you lost then find those files in the rom and put them in a cwm zip and point to the right spots.

I looked there and I was just wondering if I could do this from my current rom and if I have to do anything other than usual when flashing a ext4 rom or do I just flash it right after I get clockwork 3 and wipe. Thx.

No once you flash the new cwm and flash the rom it.converts you to ext4. You dont need to do anything else. Just make sure.the rom you flash is usimg.edify.scripts cause.the.new cwm wont flash amend scripts.

Go to my nebula rom thread. Click on the instructions for EXT4. Do not flash CW3 as nebula doesn't support the edify scripts yet. Do what the instructions say.

[Q] Help!

I just rooted my friends Fascinate using SuperOneClick and then I installed Rom Manager and flashed clockwork mod but when i go into recovery it says it installation of update.zip failed. Where can I get the update.zip for it. I am trying to flash the dl-30 leaked rom thats out I have it. just cant get the update.zip so he can properly use clockwork mod.
You need to first flash CWM via Odin, before you can use the update.zip. Also, DL30 is an OLD and buggy froyo leak, EB01 is the most recent one, and the ones most of the new roms are being based on.
Thanks I did that. Note when I go into clockwork and try to use nandroid to make a back up I get an error that says its un able to mount his sd

You might be using an old Clockworkmod. Use this one here.
Edit: I updated the link with the one I use.
Do I just odin this on the fascinate?

R2 Gingerbread Voodoo Issues

Dear XDA World,
I have just recently rooted my phone using the superoneclick root on my 2.2 Froyo Vibrant after a good month of research. Currently, I am running Eugene's R2 Final Gingerbread ROM, and I love it; it is very stable and intricately in tune with the Vibrant's functionality. Now, my problem currently is flashing to a voodoo lag fix (frustrating as hell). Anyway, I have tried the JL4 voodoo. zip, because that is what this ROM is closest to, I believe. When I copied to SD card, and went into clockwork recovery to install, it failed, saying, "installation failed," or something similar to that. I thought that voodoo wasn't working for some reason, so I tried to flash Nero v3's ROM: same outcome. If anyone would take time to help out a new user, I would very much appreciate the help. I wish to put voodoo lag fix on this R2 ROM, to be clear. Please be descriptive.

please redownload the kernel and reflash.
You need to make sure the zip is on the internal sdcard. This could be your issue.

u are wrong if kernel was on his external sd and since clockwork dont mount external sd he cant even acces it so its imposible to flash something that is on your external card.
Bartek, more specific, please.
And yes, I'm certain it's on my internal... Haha.

I have done that before. Same outcome.

dude .when you went to clockwork to flash does it say installation failed or signature verification failed ? something like that didnt expain what your problem was
Yeah, read my first post again, I said it says "installation failed" and said it was aborting. This was all in clockwork.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
lol redownload the file again , reflash , or can you download anyother kernel instead of voodoo 4 and try ? or odin back to stock JfD with pit file and chceck repartition or if anyone knows better ............please post .
You sould really make sure the zip package is ZIP package not TAR package too, ZIP=CLOCKWORK, TAR=ODIN ,
I don't use Odin, man. It's a .zip package; example: I am rooted using R2 Gingerbread .zip. Can I not voodoo because I am missing a script or have the wrong kind? I've seen this in a few forums.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Oh and another thing is make sure u have enough room on internal sd about 1gb or more
why wont you flash DEAD HORSE BY EUGENE since GINGER R2 is released by EUGENE and DEAD HORSE is released by EUGENE also they fit like glowe , and you get ext 4 or JFS whichever u prefer .
That sounds like a good idea. What kernal of Dead Horse should I get? Does it matter in regards to compatibility?

i cant recomend anything because , i cant because .... it mit wipe your internal sd but http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=samsungsgs&thread=28&page=1#916 is the latest and safest before flashing read the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936928

Can't get into clockwork recorvery -__-

I go to ROM Manager, download the latest recovery, go to reboot to recovery, and as the stock recovery flashes the update.zip to get into clockwork, it blanks then the "samsung" boot up screen comes up and it goes into the stock recovery. I downloaded the newest clockwork recovery dozens of times, tried flashing older versions and ROM Manager says there's an error...this started happening when I flashed the newest version onto my phone I believe. Why is this happening???
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Did you also flash CWM recovery in Odin? Because you won't be able to access it without doing that. There are instructions on how to do this in the development section.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Well on rom manager, it gives me the option to flash it straight from my phone. That's how I always got clockwork but now it hasn't been working since the latest update

Use odin to flash CWM found here. Then delete rom manager and forget it exists.

CWM
I always lose the "red" CWM. I will use the green as long as I can. It is the only one that boots consistently.
ive gone over it here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960118 see if any of those tips help you.
