Today I got a message to reboot and install the mr4 ec05. I reboot the phone but the cwm2 gave a installation error. That is suppose to be a file/files. Where I can find it in the phone and how can I try to install it again?

You're not going to be able to install the OTA no matter how many times you try since you're using clockworkmod.

I dont try to flash it, the phone just start in cwm. Btw I'm running eb13 if it helps
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Ok ok... reading a little it show that I need to remove the cwm so how I do that? And then how can I start the process again? (Using the already downloaded ec05).

I was rooted using the one step rook but started having issues with my Windows & laptop not wanting to see my Epic conected to USB.
When I reverted back to stock it downloaded 2.2.1 so I have Froyo but need to be able to root off my sd card. I tried Z4Root but it did not get me rooted and I do not think it works for 2.2.1.
Any ideas on a another app I could root with?
Thanks
The .1 update to froyo was to close off the exploit z4root used, there are no other apps that root.
Did you flash back to dk28 stock or di18?

I did the wipe/factory reset. I had updated to Froyo prior and reset trying to get my Usb to computer back
spent my two days off playing with my phone finally sucess.
Used odin and installed the dk28 tar with clockwork mod.
My wifi was acting like a crack addict...the shakes when I turned on wifi the phone would vibrat and reset.
Put the truly epic experiance latest and installed with the clockwork mod update picking this zip.
The USB is back and working. I am rooted. I can use my wifi tether.
God is great and I am back in business.....
Ok, let me start by saying that im by no means new to the hacking community. I am however new to samsung hacking. I rooted my tab this morning and acording to the directions it was supposed to reboot and backup, it rebooted but never started backing up, so I turned it off and went into recovery and it did as it was supposed to. I finished following directions and what not and now my auto rotate does mot work. I went to try and restore the backup it created, but appearently the md5sum is bad. Any suggestions on getting auto rotate back?

Did you flash a rom? If so which one?
Rooting does not change recovery or convert anything.

Still on stock, I followed the directions on putting cwm on it, then I flashed voodoo through odin. I flashed kashmeks oc kernel.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using Tapatalk
Now you have cwm installed I would suggest flashing a rom / kernal package. Roto full v4 first maybe then overcome 1.3.0
Assuming you have a euro compatible tab.
Backups fail via nandroid using voodoo..

I updated to EI22, stock w/OTA update. I then rooted and things were working great. Then about 1 week ago, I did a CWM backup and when I restarted the phone just kept automatically rebooting approx. every 3 -4 minutes. I could not stop it no matter what I did. Then I restored the backup and it worked fine. A few days later, I turned the power off to put in a my extra battery, and when I turned it on, the same thing happened. I had to restore twice fir it to stop this time. Then this morning, I did a reboot to see what would happen, and again it happened. Mind you it was working flawless before I restarted it. I have tried everything from removing programs, turning off the wifi, leaving the battery out for a half hour, but nothing. Sometimes after it reboots, I leave it alone for 15 minutes and then when I hit the power button, it just restarts.
Any ideas before I put back froyo??
Sounds like a bad flash. I would Odin all the way to Stock EC05 then root then flash a Gingerbread ROM. Your error is either in the kernel or recovery to happen immediately after boot. It could even be a flaky partition table.

OK. Funny, I flashed backed to a stock EC05 and did the OTA update so as to possible avoid any problems like this.

I figured that but the problem may lie in the rooting which required you to flash a kernel or in your recovery module.

Your not alone on this issue. I am also considering going back to froyo
ADW was nice enough to bring up a crash report that I emailed myself. In the stack trace I see that android Package manager has died as a cause of the exception. I am not a java programmer so am at a loss here to what's happening.

So I flashed to the ACS ICS rom and so far no problems. What a great ROM!! Many thanks to Marcusant and ACS.

don't use the OTA.
just root ec05, flash CWM 5, flash modem update ec05 to EI22, flash a rom of your choosing. it's that simple. i don't see why people go the OTA route. it just causes problems with the recovery.
EDIT: also if you want Rom manager, check the kernel(or rom) for compatibility.
Why use ROM MANAGER at all? All the same tasks can be done from Clockwork Mod directly?

It was not supported for the Epic before but with the new CWM5 it is. It is much faster to boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than powering down and 3 fingering into it. Plus ROM Manager supports renaming your backups when you are doing them. Also ROM Manager will continuously update your CWM if new versions come out. There is also OTA updates available if the developer supports it on their ROM.
My Samsung Epic 4G has the EE03 modem installed, but I have EC05 as my current firmware. I can't Odin back anywhere because my Epic does not like to be recognized by any computer anymore. (I'm not using the factory-provided charging cable, but instead a Palm Pre cable)
I thought it wasn't too huge of a deal, but the newer modem and older firmware don't seem to like each other much, which in turn eats the phone's battery up extremely fast.
As well, because of the difference, there's a recommended Android OS update to EI22 that keeps nagging me and won't go away. Every time I run it, it gets to the part "updating modem," the installation fails with the following message:
"script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /cache/a5ff039a0c97.SPH-D700_update_EC05_to_EI22.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Because I can't use Odin, what's the best option for fixing something like this?
I had a similar problem where I was stuck on a modem I didn't want.. there is no way possible to fix this I believe.. cuz u would have to switch modems and that won't happen without odin.. if u were on ec05 modem then u could have jjust flash ec05 to ei22 but there's no way to change ur modem without a computer
If ur sure the usb it working and u tried cleaning the outside of ur phones usb slot and it still didn't work then the best thing I can tell you to try Is probably to backup whatever current setting you have and to flash a ee03 compatible rom.. I think ee03 was a gb leak?? So I think an eh17 rom would go well with it? If so I would try thunderhawk its an amazing rom
But I'm no professional so id probably just wait now and see if anyone with more experience agrees on what I say or would have a better idea for you

Lil is correct you will need to get Odin or Heimdall working. Heimdall installs its own drivers so you have the best shot with that and a new heavy duty cable.

Koshi, take a clean unused toothbrush, take the end of the data cable that plugs into ur phone, and carefully brush the end inside. Do the same thing with the usb port of ur phone. Then blow into both parts, and try connecting to ur pc again.

Don't use a lot of pressure when brushing.

You could also try the ec05 revert cmw flashable zip. I had some issues when I had the usb mass storage installed. Then I couldn't get adb bridge installed propper so download mode wouldn't connect.
Uninstall your drivers, revert to ec05, install drivers and reboot, connect phone as storage, then dissconect, turn on adb and reconnect, when done disconnect and turn on dl mode and connect again, disconnect, load and run odin, reconnect in dl mode, and pray for a com port to come up.
Easy enuff to go back with a cmw backup if it doesn't work, might be worth a try.
Here's the thread 4 ya

I had an issue after taking my epic into be serviced one time where the computer would no longer recognize it. Turns out they switched a setting in one of the dialer menus I believe it was ##7887# and then you had to switch it to or out of modem mode. Sorry I am not much more help but I am cm7 now and can't access those hidden menus now but if someone else could read this perhaps they could clear up my haziness on this and give you some proper instructions to check if you are in the right mode.

It is. ##8778# and switch usb to pda not modem... if that's the problem that is...

Thanks yep that was my issue. I went back into the sprint store and the guy saw me coming because he realized after I left he didn't switch it back. Flipping that back had me off and odining just like before. Hopefully its that simple for the op.

Yep I hope so to. I only know this because when I first got my epic (brand new) it was in modem and not pda... took me well over 3 weeks of searching to find out why my mass storage was not being detected on my laptop... and then I found XDA! THANK GOD FOR XDA!

Try the "Odin for Dummies" method. Use the Samsung EB13 tool which will reinstall all drivers for your computer to recognize your phone, walk you through the process of installing EB13 (it will wipe your phone completely) and put you on EB13 which you will then OTA to EC05 and OTA again to EI22. Here are the DL links:
http://www.multiupload.com/69YUW73XFB
I use the tool sometimes because I think it is actually safer than using Odin because you won't make any mistakes, like check marking the wrong options or using the wrong files in Odin, since the tool does everything for you.
Edit- use the same method but replace all EL30 with FC09
First off so everybody knows, feezing system updates did not work... neither did just installing the el30 modem... but this did... Ok this is very easy! Let it try to install... obviously it will fail because you are rooted... now you should see an exclamation point... just pull the battery and reboot! No more nagging message from your phone to update! This will work regardless of if you are on the el30 modem or not.... I have done it with the ei22 modem, el30 modem, and the ec05 modem and haven't had the update prompt after doin this...
Edit- after the battery pull and reboot don't panic if it throws you into cwm upon reboot, just reboot from there and you're good to go! LIKE ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP!
Edit- for everybody getting the update a few days after doin this try this (fix by toadlife)
The update notification will probably stop if you modify the build.prop file to trick the phone into thinking it already has EL30.
Try this:
Open up a root shell and type the following (via adb, or a shell app)
su
remount rw
sed -i 's/SPH-D700-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD EI22 release-keys/SPH-D700-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD EL30 release-keys/g' /system/build.prop
sed -i 's/sprint\/SPH-D700\/SPH-D700:2.3.5\/GINGERBREAD\/EI22:user\/release-keys/sprint\/SPH-D700\/SPH-D700:2.3.6\/GINGERBREAD\/EL30:user\/release-keys/g' /system/build.prop
remount ro
I would recommend adb so you can copy and paste. Typing that might take awhile.

Interesting. I wonder if deleting the update.zip file would accomplish the same although I suppose it could just download again.

I woke this morning to the update as well. I dismissed it but it kept coming back up for me about every half hour. I have CleanGB MTD, so wasn't sure what it would do if I allowed the update. Saw this post, though, and let it go / pulled battery as directed. Haven't had it pop up since. Phew! THANKS!
This would be annoying if it failed from a bad download and then you couldn't update when you are actually stock...

Glad it worked for everyone.
I was a shade worried when the first thing that happened after the battery pull was a kick back into CWM. I just did a nandroid before to be safe, and didn't want to be placed in a CWM bootloop or something. But other than that I think this method may have worked like a charm! Thanks.
