This recovery doesn't convert the filesystem, it is meant to work using either one.

For now, I'd recommend using the scripts written by chris41g for converting rfs to ext4 and back. Just remember to delete the asphalt app to make room for the conversion, if it isn't removed already.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
As of alpha4, cm7 for the epic will work with this recovery.

It is very important to note that cm7 for the epic 4g is likely now to use mtd mounts instead of bml mounts.

This means that a new recovery, and perhaps one that will be exclusive to the cm7 epic 4g, will need to be created.

So to answer your question directly: cwm versions up to 3.1.0.1 work now, but may not in future versions of cm7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
Hell yeah but look at the bright side bro It makes ur thread better
[Epic 4G Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Thanks much!

Any pics?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornelious2:
I would highly reccomend against multiple colors. I foresee problems in the future with people on wrong versions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] A_Flying_Fox:
Nah just keep it consistent.

So what if some colors look better than others, its organized. I like how you change it every update. It adds to the freshness.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZiggSVO:
You going to make a video? lol ;)

Hmmm...do I try the new recovery or not :p I think I may just have to flash this when I go home on lunch lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] solblack:
This and it lets you know what version a person is on. I like the fact that most versions have changed color with each update.

Flashing this when I get home.

Thank you! I am finally able to mount USB storage from recovery now. I appreciate all of the hard work on this recovery image.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Ok, I'm a n00b. 3 finger works for 3.1.0.1, but Reboot Recovery dumps me into 3.0.2.5. Is it the reboot recovery option bringing starting the wrong recovery? Any suggestions on an app/mod to dump me to the new recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lldolendi:
Thank you! Working great! Looking great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Does this mean that I can USB transfer files from within recovery now?? :D

Power off & 3 finger to get into 3.1.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Will that get me into Recovery differently than QuickBoot or ROM Manager?

Well, I don't know why it made a difference, but it did. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Yes. Doing a reboot recovery for me dumped me into 3.0.2.5 orange.

3finger drops me into 3.1.0.1 purple
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
When you use Quickboot or Rom Manager to boot into recovery it boots you into the redirecter CWM that is setup in /system/bin the 3 finger button combo will boot you into the cwm that is flashed as a recovery kernel onto bml8 of the device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
Very nice colors. :rolleyes:

But really. I do like the ability to choose options without having to scroll through 6x "NO" just to yet to the confirmation. I downloaded some of the things I wanted while I was getting frustrated about not having USB access and am flashing them now, but I look forward to having this as an option.

Shorter menus look good as well.

I also like making selections with the MENU key, rather than the PWR key.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
I believe using the "Reboot Recovery" option from within CWM will also boot the recovery kernel that is in /system/bin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
Yeah I think your right on that I forgot about that one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neckberg:
So if I have the Bonsai recovery, I can still flash this as normal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
I'll bet I'd be a lot more impressed than I already am if I knew what language you were speaking. All sounds Greek to me. But I really appreciate that some of you guys know what the heck you're talking about.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ficjay:
I find myself wanting to boot into CWM just because it finally works right again! You could have made it pink or pea green and I wouldn't have cared as much about the fact that it finally works the way its supposed to. Thanks a zillion!

EDIT: Except for you still have to power off all the way first instead of a direct three finger salute. Can that be done too or is Gingerbread not compliant to this most humble request?

What? I'm running EE03 on SFR1.1.1 and the twilight kernal without issue with this..

Yay!

I can now mount SD again from CWM as I used to do on my HTC Saphire.

You are correct but you missed the point - ever heard of a book called "The Clockwork Orange?"
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
No, not really - what do you mean? The OP says that the STOCK kernel can reflash the recovery, but that doesn't apply to the very much not stock Twilight kernel... There is no mention of any issues with any other kernel in the OP... Perhaps if you explicitly defined the problem you're having, instead of using vague hints and references, someone will be able to help you further?

Thanks!.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
I think the question is/should be "what did we miss in post #1 your referencing that could of bricked our phones". Its being asked because we are running the same thing you are and had no issues. I saw nothin but the warning about the stock kernal. You said "I run twighlight kernal".. was that a step in your process list, or a statement.. its hard to tell..
[Epic 4G Android Development] cornaljoe:
I've noticed when choosing Reboot Recovery it takes you to your old recovery. In my case 3.0.2.5. How is it possible that both custom recovery are on my phone. Did this one over write the stock recovery or something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cds0699:

How do we update the cwm that is targeted in quick boot?

A like to a thread about it would be helpfull. Thanks

[Epic 4G Android Development] duce102:
Its always booted to a previous version of cwm from quick boot and rom manager.... I think it might have to do with kernel support.... Im sure drockstar, koush, and rodderik are working hard to get us a good genocide kernel update out and then we should everyone else catch on
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
That's why I pointed out that the Twilight kernel isn't the problem. You don't communicate well at all -

It sounds like you're saying that because you had Twilight on your phone, that the phone is looking for the old kernel. This makes no sense because your phone doesn't look for a specific kernel, it just uses the one it has. So there was really no reason whatsoever to mention Twilight, let alone word the post so poorly as to sound as if the kernel was to blame... That's all I was trying to say

Also, the warning in the OP was actually saying that if you are on stock, then you might have a problem, because the stock kernel might be capable of reflashing the stock recovery. So your attempt to guide people away from custom kernels could have resulted in even more people complaining about losing custom recovery... so I guess your reading comprehension is sub par, which would subsequently explain the poor communication skills - hard to write when you can't read ;)

But that is exemplified in your last response:

It hurts to read out loud...
[Epic 4G Android Development] debonairone:
Wow... And who says there isn't any humor amongst geeks... This is too funny to read... and yes, it does hurt to read aloud...

I'll keep coming back just for the sheer entertainment value... :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Sorry it took me so long to see your post I could've prevented a lot of thread drama. In your case, it appears you got an unlucky bad flash to the recovery partition... when this happens, and you try to 3 finger boot into the borked partition, the phone won't boot at all. Luckily, download mode is still available, for odin flashing the recovery again, to fix it.

In the future, I will probably make cwm updates available as an odin flash too, which will fix that situation quickly, without the need to reformat everything else. In fact, I'll try to get one made today, just in case someone else runs into this.

Just for reference sake, I used to run into this a lot in testing, when I let my kernel get too big, and was puhing the size limits of the kernel. It's the main reason I've slimmed down the sizes of both cwm and the clean kernel. Since I slimmed down the sizes, botched flashes have become very rare.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Trident:
You just flash the zip file in cwm to install the new one. The only way I've been told to actually get to the new cwm/recovery is by turning the device OFF and then rebooting using 3finger method [PWR+VOL-DWN+CAMERA]. It's worked for me every time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
You can, but it appears that you wouldn't be gaining anything as far as functionality. It would just change the color to purple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Right now, the best way to update the cwm that quickboot uses is to flash the Clean Kernel EC05 v1.05, which I made at the same time as this cwm... other kernel devs are incorporating cwm reboot recovery right now. Keep in mind, the Clean Kernel is only froyo atm.

The original post was changed this morning to explain exactly the difference between 3 finger boot recovery and reboot recovery, since there has always been confusion about it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
I made the jump from 3.0.0.6 to 3.1.0.1 and I must say, everything is working great for me so far. I always power down and 3 finger to get into recovery anyway so I didn't even notice the issue from Quickboot. Everything I have tried so far has worked. I did a full wipe (data/system,cache, and Dalvik) last night because I have been doing a lot of beta testing and I had no issues what so ever when flashing my ROM or theme. Great job DRock!

[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Fantastic work sir.

It is now almost perfect! And the USB mounting thing is a godsend on cyanogenmod.

If there is going to be a future update the only things I would want is a power off option, the lag on clearing sd-ext to be fixed(Wasn't present in 3.0.0.6), and maybe below/above "wipe data/factory reset", wipe cache", and "wipe dalvik" there could be a wipe 3X option. You know. For time!

Either way fantastic job and a very needed upgrade.
[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
With any luck, perhaps this CWM will flash properly, eliminating the need for the triple wipe
[Epic 4G Android Development] mattallica76:
No luck is necessary. The old CWM didn't flash properly because partitions didn't always mount properly when wiping (or flashing for that matter). That should be fixed now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Original post updated, now with Odin flashable tar, for general use, or to fix a botched cwm flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] engine95:
I just used the .tar and noticed that if i select "no" on wiping dalvik it still wipes dalvik. Not that it hurts anything, but just letting you know. I'm using SFR1.1.1 with Twilight. Thanks for the updated CWM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Ok, so I made the mistake of reading but not READING the OP instructions very well and I cant get past the samsung logo :(. I just wantedto make sure I get this right. I want SRF 1.1.1 with clean kernel. So I would Odin stock ec05, odin cwm 3.1.0.1, then flash SRF and the kernel through cwm? Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
How do u go about transfering files from within the recovery. Like hmm ima try and figure this out. So say ur about to flash a rom but u forgot a few file but ur sitting in recovery and don't wanna reboot and add some files then go back to recovery and rewipe and then files. So with being able to transfer thru recovery I could skip the step of rebooting just to transfer some files when all I could do is go straight to recovery and transfer those missing files while I'm still in recovery right. If that's the case that's love as **** and never knew u could do that bc there's been countless times I forgot to add **** and had to jump out of recovery just to add files and jump right back in just to flash those missing files along with having to rewipe which is gay going thru all those no no no. Haven't flashed on new recovery yet to only see one no but nice can't wait. Thanks in advance and sorrie for the long book
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zor Omega:
Thanks for the help. I just ended up staying with the stock plus and clean kernel. Want to go back to the basics for a bit before gb drops. Good looking out though.

Has anyone had problems doing an advanced restore of /data with this? I wish I could remember exactly what I did now, but I ran into a problem when using this recovery to update from anonymous rom (gb) v6 to v7.

I was on cwm 3.0.2.5, then flashed to 3.1.0.1. Flash went fine and everything seemed to be working. I did a full nandroid backup, then wiped everything/cache/dalvik 3x, then flashed anonymous v7 (over v6), rebooted, shut down, rebooted to recovery, then tried to do an advanced restore of /data. The /data restore gets partway through then freezes (always in the same place). Also tried to do a full restore, but again froze in the same place when it tried to restore /data.

Only thing I can't remember is if I did my nandroid backup in 3.0.2.5 or after flashing to 3.1.0.1. So I'm trying to restore /data from a nandroid backup using 3.1.0.1, but I don't remember if I created the backup in 3.0.2.5 or 3.1.0.1.

Shouldn't be a problem either way though, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I can tell you, that my whole testing cycle with cwm 3.1.0.1, I was doing advanced data restores that were initially backed up with 3.0.2.5... so that shouldn't be an issue at all.

The most probable cause of a data restore failure is that the sdcard ran out of room during the original backup... often there is no indicator of failure when that happens.

How much space is available on the sdcard?

Also, it might be helpful to know exactly where it fails in the restore process... there should be a log saved in sdcard/clockworkmod/ (if there's room for it to be stored there), or /cache/recovery/recovery.log.

That file would help me determine what happened in your case.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rsage:
Thanks for helping me out. Before the backup in question, my card had ~1.6gb left. The backup used about ~900mb (about the same size as all my other backups). I forgot to mention, after having these problems, I also tried going back to 3.0.2.5 from 3.1.0.1 and doing a restore, same problem.

I have no log in /sdcard/clockworkmod/, and the only file in /cache/recovery/ is last_log. If you want that, I'll PM it to you.

Thanks again.

but theduce explained it further...thanks duce :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Sorry, been really quite busy lately... but yes, you can definitely use this to mount the sdcard to the PC from Clockworkmod, it was one of the primary goals of this new cwm, was to fix that.

Be sure to safely remove the sdcard from the PC before leaving the USB Mass Storage menu in cwm.

How do I install from a stock Epic 4G?

How do I install this new cwm if I haven't rooted yet before?

Is there a loader for it? Should I try to use odin? if so, do I use the same pit file as if I was going back to stock?

I really want to root this asap, but I don't want to root to 3.0.2.5 just to then go up to 3.1.0.1. Isn't there a way to go straight from stock to 3.1.0.1???

@DRockstar quick noob questions, based on your explanation this CWM version installs on bml8 partition, while the older versions install on bml7 partition. 1 - does the term "partition" refer to file system partition? 2 - what occupied bml8 before this version of CWM came into existence?

thanks in advance
