Hi, I'm a complete noob at this so help is appreciated. I rooted my Epic 4G and have been playing around with custom ROMs. I flashed the Quantum ROM manually using clockworkMod v2.5.1.0, and the phone wouldn't get any service and took FOREVER to scan media on the SD card so I tried to restore to a previous backup also made manually. It seemed to restore ok, but when trying to boot it would get stuck on the screen with "Samsung" in large white text and the website "www . samsungmobile . com" (without spaces) directly below it.
I tried wiping the cache, and then a factory reset with clockworkmod to no effect. Every time I try to restore to backup I get the following:
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache...
sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext/..
Restore complete!
I then select reboot system now, which results in the same screen. I hear the usual boot music play, but the screen never changes. Please help a confused newbie!!!
Follow the process in this post to restore to stock...

This would seem to be the best path if clockwork isn't getting you anywhere.
from there I would re-root and then apply the recovery

When you're flashing the new 2.2 roms, you need to make sure you have also flash the appropriate modem as well using odin. With Quantum rom, you will need to flash the DK17 modem in order to get your phone to work properly. Instructions on how to odin DK17 modem can be found in this thread:

Additionally, when trying to restore your phone, I would suggest doing a full wipe. I was having similar issues restoring a back-up, and it would hang-up on the samsung screen. Wiping seemed to fix this problem.
Thanks for the help! I used Odin to restore my phone to stock and it's been working since. I appreciate the help.

-------FIXED--------
I attempted to restore from a Nandroid backup and it failed. Noticed
that all my Nandroid restores fail with the same error. Here is the output. Thanks.

-------FIX------
The solution that worked was to wipe data/wipe cache/dalvik cache. Install another ROM via CWM. In this case was the Galaxy Rom HD. Reboot, let it be for about five minutes. Reboot into Recovery and then restore the Nandroid backups.
I made a backup of my system using CWM recovery (v.5.5.0.4). It worked well. I restored my system several times using this backup I made.
But when I tried to increase the internal memory of my device using a method published by another XDA member, the backup I made didn't work..
the error was as follows:
checking md5 sums...
removing boot.img..
restoring boot.img..
restoring system...
error while restoring system....
I tried everything wiping my data/factory reset, wipe delvik cache, formatting system...
But the system just didn't restore..
I even tried the unbrick method of my device.. (i.e by restoring default ROM)
but the error remains the same..
I NEED HELP... ANY SUGGESTIONS..
