[Q] Flashed New Caulkins 2.0, and now phone won't boot - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So, I flashed Caulks new EK02 Rom, and, when I went to restart, phone is stuck on boot screen; Wiped everything as normal before flashing, but stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I tried all the normal stuff to get into recovery, but phone won't go past the initial boot screen.
I have a mac computer, and thats all there are in the house, so I can't use Odin..
Can someone help me get the phone back to a state where it starts up?
Thanks so much for your help!

Didn't I just answer this question lol...

First of all, this is the ONLY thread I made for this question; I made a post in the thread where the rom was located to make the dev aware of the issue
I'll be watching you closely, for when you have a serious issue and ask for help, to make sure you don't post it more than once..
And, BTW, I used Heimdall on my own, without your suggestion; I've been flashing phones for longer than you've probably been on this earth...

Thanks for your kind words, John; you show the kind of class that used to be everywhere on this forum!

where are you seeing a new rom from CAulk?
All original Posts I see in DEV the only Caulk one are for the 1.5a ROM,
thanks,
RR

The "Stock EK02" ROM.

Actually if you are on XDA app or Tapatalk, lately its been occasionally doubling up on random threads. I have seen it happen a several times lately. It will show the same exact thread, same amount of posts, but views are different. That may have happened here. Thanks for the kind words wase.

ClockworkMod 3.0.x.x

Ok what does this one fix?
Hopefully fixes the flashing issues people on different hboots are having. I had to restore 2.5.0.1 with the PC36IMG.zip just so I could flash anything at this point. Did anybody else have this many problems with previous 3.0 builds?
i'm having the same problem as you. currently very frustrated
3.0.0.3
im testing as we speak with cm7.will report
It still sucks. I downloaded cm6.2 and it flashed it but refused to flash the gapps that were downloaded along with the rom. Sucks. Starting to regret donating

Issues out the ying-yang with all the 3.0.x.x builds. I went through Koush's site and found all the files for Clockwork.
Here is the image you can flash through fastboot...
Code:

Thanks -viperboy-. I have flashed back to 2.5.0.1 and all is working. I'm just curious what the newest version is changing. I'm sure they are seeing and reading about all the problems we've been having with the newest update. Which, by the way, is the reason that I posted this post here. It will obviously be seen by more eyes. Hopefully the right eyes.
We need a definitive answer to all these questions. We need to hear from ClockworkMod what versions we should use on what devices.
Have you checked his thread for clockworkmod? You would probably get a lot more responses posting in q&a instead of cluttering the dev section.

Why are some of the Inc dev's leaving XDA?

Ok. So i have been away from the form for a couple of weeks (family emergency) and I noticed that some of the dev's are packing up and going to different forums JoelZ9614, ihtfp69. What did I miss?
I'm kinda wondering that too tbh
devs should just ignore the crap and keep doing what they do.
Stuff like this makes me want to stay with CM even more. CM is my first love for custom ROMs and my favorite so far due to it's speed and features and open source model. Since they packed up quietly it just would make you speculate.
I like looking at the front page of Inc development to see what's new. We'll still be seeing new ROM on xda, just from fewer devs.

...What exactly has happened on XDA that we're unaware of? Other than some of the people who use roms being totally immature, they will just follow to the other forums and spam that up. What's the point?

If the actual creators of it posted it then yes it should. However, there are still issues with it and the first few posts would do nothing but confuse people who see it for the first time. It should be closed or moved until an actual dev or someone who knows what they're doing can provide some support as an OP.

Well that's what I was getting at, like when Xboarder broke the rules they closed his thread, leaving it with comments as to why it was closed and such. I don't see why they would just delete a thread without any statements being made as to why. Either there was an accident, or it sounds pretty shady.
Oh well, I think I still have his sourceforge open on my other PC, but I would assume he is still sleeping or has other obligations right now.
Well data doesnt work so i doenload racings ics port and its flawless so far. I love apex launcher ))) but yeah. Im waiting on ravers because im an aosp guy but its weird that its suddenly gone brah.

Yeah, that makes sense. I am generally a patient person so I guess I will turn off conspiracy theory mode and just do some reading, take a late midterm, and hope to hear about progress when I get home.
I would like to take this opportunity for a rant of mine though:
<rant>
No one seemed to do it on Raver's post last night before I went to bed, but I find it so frustrating when people fill up a thread with useless posts, AND THEN everyone fills it up with more useless posts about how useless the previous posts were. You'll watch a thread go off topic, and then get a dozen "let's get back on topic"s in a row. It's part of the problem! I think one person says it, and then a lot of other people don't actually read it.
</rant>
(Deep breath)
Well, hopefully I can either come back to this thread later for what happened, or Raver will have a thread up about his rom
also

+1 on all the above. Got to page 20 then... My heart doesn't know what to do. Adrenaline is still coursing through my blood but figured something in the thread is probably just being changed/fixed.
Not much of a poster, more of a pm'er/tester/gtalk but figured I would also see what was up.
I'm quite curious also, last night was crazy and it did get quite a bit out of hand with all the unnecessary posts and such. Hopefully the thread shows up soon because i really want to see the updates on the build which i may add is absolutely fantastic!
Some douchebag saidhe PM'ed a mod and told him to clean up the thread and with all the flaming and BS in the thread, i supposed the mod deleted it. LAME CALL XDA!!!!
This is why all the good dev's always leave XDA. Cause they create masterpieces and its not their fault a butt load of people flood their post with a bunch of jizz. Then a crybaby whines to a mod and they come and remove the thread. It happend to a few of mine in the past when I dev'ed fot the Dell Streak and a couple for the Vibrant.

Check the DEV section. There is already a more stable skyrocket port out.

The magical search button and your firmware notification

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!
