Why do u need it unrooted? Do you mean debugging mode or download mode? Did you follow video instructions? If you can get into download mode by holding down "1" key and power while phone is off, Odin should work and get you back to 2.3 with root. There is a tar you can Odin with clockwork included. Then all you have to do is flash the su.zip through clockwork, to obtain root.

Same with me. However I was able to get into cwm and flash a Talon kernel and that let me boot. Makes me wonder if a kernel was included in this rom or not cause my cwm was the same Samurai kernel.

ok thanks yall.
im going to update and try and figure out what i did wrong.
sorry for the troubles
might be in the morning ,getting late here

after flashing 9000 bootloaders, i was able to complete the install but it just bootloops at gt-i9000 screen

I have it up and running. I was boot looping but I managed to get to recovery and flash a new kernel. try that.

You should try replaacing the kernel with a novoo XCAL kernel that matches your framework. That will fix the bootlooping problem.

Thanks. I will try....i thought thats what i was using

Were you able to port 5.2 as well. It's by far the smoothest rom I've ever used on the Captivate.

After Odin back, go to system updates and update profile. I did this and got the update about 3 minutes later. Could be coincidence, but it can't hurt to try

If your stock, just download the update directly from google. Put it on your sd card and boot into stock recovery and run it. It is essentialy the same thing as the ota.

Thanks! I have updated my profile a few times with no result. Maybe I'll try putting the file on my card. Thank you again!

Sounds about like here
We have the same situation. My wife got it today(didnt do the update) downloaded it went to CWM recovery and then the update of course failed. Now the update zip isnt even on her sdcard anymore. Is everything updated with the zip( such as kernel,modem, and rom etc.) or just the rom and modem.

I just downloaded, renamed to update. Powered off and booted in to stock recovery. Ran the zip and....wait for it...I have EI22! Thank you for your help!! Now time to root

Good luck with rooting your phone you will need it.

Its easy now. Just flash the clockwork tar in odin, and don't boot the system because when you shut it down, you'll lose your root. You need to flash a kernel, like nubernal or house of samurai to get it to stick.

Is there a one click root for EI22 like EC05?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

No one click root is out for EI22, as far as I am aware of
From stock EC05, I just used odin to update the modem from ec05 to ei22, then used the one click root to install CWM 3.0.0.1, then used CWM to install my fav EI22 ROM

Evo wont go to recovery

Ok ever since I got my new 32gb SD card I've been having problems getting some fictions on my phone to work. I was able to swirl through my phone not changing my splashscreen. But now I'm trying to get into recovery to load ciui rom and it wont go into recovery. I've tried to go into it from rom manager as well and no luck. All it does is take me to bootloader and ask if I want to update I say yes or no and then try to go into recovery and it just goes back to bootloader screen. Is there a setting I may have accidentally changed or any ideas on where to start. Thanks for the help

Nevermind. I just needed to flash recovery. I'm a moron.

Aha that might help!
But to others who do see this thread and have a recovery installed and still cant go into recovery try nandroiding your device then do a factory reset and wipe your caches and it should get it working again.

How can they do a nandroid is they can't get to recovery??
Think about it

The best way to get to recovery when this happens is to flash recovery from Rom Manager. =) problem solved.

ROM Manager actually sucks, tbh, for flashing anything

Ya. ROM manager had some nice tools and functions, but for doing stuff in recovery I wouldn't recommend...

You are absolutely correct.I had some problems with nandroids after using that.

Can't boot MTD ROMS [SOLVED!!!!!]

Ok so recently I odined back to el30 (as I do at least once a week) and now I can not flash any mtd roms... I have tried redownloading and reflashing the recovery and rom(s) multiple times... cm9 as an example, I flash and it reboots to do the mtd conversion, goes back into cwm and boots... it gets to the boot animation (on aosp roms, tw mtd reboots right after the kernel splash screen) goes through it (sometimes makes it through) and then reboots... after flashing and it won't boot I have to pull battery and that's when the next problem begins... phone will not power on, charge, go into cwm... nothing.... I can get to download by using the slide battery in and out trick... its not the battery, after an odin it charges and boots perfectly (until I try to flash another mtd rom)... not bad downloads... I always check md5 before flashing... anybody have any insight as to what may be going on...
Edit- if you're not going to post something useful to try and help, don't post at all... so don't post stupid things like ... shouldn't be odining once a week". Comments like that don't help and are way off base... I know people that odin 2 times as much as me and have been flashing twice as long so please keep the dimwitted comments to yourself!

Maybe its possible your nand storage is going out? It can only handle so much read/write :-\

I guess that is possible... but I only started flashing roms and such when I signed up for xda... so november I believe... I know some people that have flashed way more than me... wouldn't that result in bml roms not flashing also?

I know that's true.... but can it just start being picky out of nowhere... I have ran cm9, miui4, well let's just say every mtd rom this phone has available... odined last week and now no mtd roms will boot... about to odin an e4gt rom and brick my phone and tell sprint it happened when it was updating to whatever the newest stock rom is... I'M AT A LOSS!

You tried Odin with repartition, the odin cwm 5.027 with reboot unchecked, pop battery out and in and then flashing CleanGB MTD?
You also said after trying the TW install it bricks requiring battery cpr. You could bring it right to Sprint at that point since nothing works then. Unless it only takes 1 in and out to get it into download mode.|

Its usually only one in and out... and yes I have tried odin multiple times and then tried EVERY MTD rom... I did get clean gb to boot once after this started happening... and then later that day shut my phone off and it wouldn't turn back on... now not even clean gb will make it past the splash screen... usually just rebooting the splash screen over and over... sometimes making it to the boot ani and then shutting completely down with the only way to fix being odin with the battery "cpr"... this phone is going through a wall super soon! I would ask if any devs would want it when I upgrade (probably next week) but I don't know how useful it will be without working mtd partition...

Yeah used to odin regularly to keep it clean, usually fixes more than destroys. I don't see why mtd won't boot for you. You might have a bad partition table. Your phone must not like mtd. I knew somebody with the same problem, they ended up taking it into sprint and they gave him a new phone.

Did you use the victory_8G_100528.pit file and check repartition? It seems like it isn't properly restoring your boot partition when you odin, if you didn't use a .pit file that could be why. There was also a totally bulletproof upgrade program that samsung posted on it's website a quite a while ago to upgrade to Froyo, it should still be floating around xda somewhere. If nothing else works try that.
