[Q] Epic 4g: CWM 2.5 to 3.0 problems....

Hi, new to the forum and the Epic 4g. Didn't want to make a new thread but I'm not going to flood the forum with crap to get my post count up, just so I can ask in the developers section.
I'll keep this short...
From a stock EC05 phone I followed rooting directions (zedomax youtube). My end goal was CWM 3.0 and the syndicate ROM. No problems with the root, but it left me with 2.5.1 instead of 3.x .
I'm having a hell of a time upgrading it. I found Rodderick's post with the manual zip update from today. Downloaded, CWM accepted it and the install went through according the the prompt. I reboot in CWM and it still give me the green 2.5.1 screen. Did some searching but couldn't find much. Any thoughts?
-Drink
Dunno... have the same phone... plz keep me posted
i'm having the same issue. no matter what i do, i cant update to 3.0. Frustrating!!!

[Q] Help me!! get Android 2.3.3 or Higher for HTC HD2 (Tmobile)

Ok, So I am sooo frustrated by trying to install Android 2.3.4 on my HTC HD2 Tmobile USA version. I have tried many tutorials and failed. I have tried SD root ways and NAND way still failed. Recently I flashed my phone with migm something something w.e that is... and flashed the rom I found on these forums by BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA gingerbread 2.3.4 thread. Everything went fine and when it was about to go into Android after the flash boot, BAM!!! error saying some kernal failed or w.e I tried SD boot and NAND boot from that meno Migm something shows and kept getting that error. I will post more details and maybe pic or video if anyone steps up to support me through this.
I used to have froyo 2.2 on it by sd root, which I used to activate by harret but after I tried couple of steps to get 2.3.4 that stopped working too and file manager kept giving me error of how it can't run it because app is not trusted. So I Hardboot the phone and formatted the SD card and went on with NAND tutorials and now Im stuck at this :|
Any help, guide or tutorial will be much helpful to achieve 2.3.3 or higher by any method for my HD2.
Thanks in Advance

I assume you've got the i9100 model.
The first thing you want to do, is get to the correct forum. General discussion isn't going to be much help for a model-specific question.
The thread you're looking for can be found here.
If you want more information, try searching google for 'samsung galaxy s2 how to return to stock'... or check the 'stickies' in the parent forum to the thread above (stickies = useful threads that have been bookmarked by mods which will always appear at the top of the list of threads in a forum).
The stickies are marked sticky, because they're the FAQs of the forums. I actually have better things to do than hold your hand and guide you through the process. Sorry if I sound like a ****, I really hope this helped, but you've gotta read and research the topic like the rest of us.
what you need to do is flash a stock from back on your device and optionally a rooting kernel ( if you want it rooted of course. if not you can just skip this part).
there's a dedicated thread for this although I'm unsure as to which sub forum it lies. look for 'carrier-branded firmware for odin' and pick the one for o2.
Wrong forum...
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Usually fixes things like this.

[Q] How can I go back to custom rom for official ics update?

I have the samsung skyrocket for att and was wondering how i can flash the stock rom and will i be able to get the official ota update? i currently have the skyics update from sean. and i did not make a backup because i didnt know much about rooting when i first flashed a rom

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock
Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b
but anyway read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 , its a post i started for ur situation, u would have found many by doing a simple search

Cyanogenmod 12.1 failed on the galaxy s2

hi i have a S2- I9100T and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 but while attempting, it failed to do it and got stuck on the screen. so i removed the battery and now it constantly boots to the recovery. . i tried a version compatible to S2- I9100 which is not the same model as mine but i read somewhere that it could work.
You will probably have to revert back to stock and try again, next time, follow the actual tutorial for your device. If not you could well run into a problem like this one. As a general rule, if you do your reading and you still have a problem, someone has had that problem before and so you can probably find your answer through more reading. I have have friends who use XDA every day and don't even have an account because most real problems are discussed.
Make sure when you post this that you are on the correct forum, you would be likely to receive more help in the S2 forums, and make sure you have your device model and the Rom you flashed in the post so they can provide more assistance.

thx you that you replied and sorry for my ignorance as i am new here and it's my first time flashing a rom. yes i have been reading through a lot but there is no thread to my model so that's why i posted here. btw, i finally solved it after hours !! damn , never thought that flashing was that frustruating. again thanks for having helped.
No worries. I used to have this device so I felt your pain.
