Last night I had a bad time trying to recover some files from my wife's epic. Before we rooted she had some importaint files in a notepad app native to stock Touchwiz. I saw a sticky in this forum about a zip you can flash to reconvert your EXT4 to rfs.. I flashed the zip as directed and it got stuck first time through. I did a battery pull and reflashed the zip, this time it completed and every this was cool. I Then proceeded to restore the backup image I made before root; The backup was corrupt and would not take my wifes epic would go to the samy screen, boot loop, and buzz. Well not aware of this problem forhand I did not have any rfs. ROM zips on my sd. So now I was stuck. I then thought I can odin back to stock, reroot to get EXT4 again, and restore my wifes current rom to correct the problem. When I hooked up the phone odin did not recognize my phone so I had to download new drivers from sammy's site and install, but because my phone did not have a rom or any opperating system on it the drivers would not install. i went back in to cwm and flashed SFR 1.1.1 even though it was a ext4 rom it still allowed me install the correct drivers i needed for my computer to recognize it. i then thought to myself maby now since my computer sees the phone i can just run the rooting program and be done because i had already flashed a ext4 rom and just needed the phone to accept it. it worked. the phone ran the root and i got my wifes phone back to the present.
I cant beleve I had worked on her phone for 3hrs. and ended up back at square 1.
Next time I'll double check about making sure important stuff is saved properly to another format before rooting. :-X
