i think the problem is, almost everyone has the phone set to get time from the network.. if you change batteries and dont boot into android to update the time, it goes off manual time.. which noone ever uses..

Should I run the fix to skip the <3e> recovery, given that I am now on EG22Plus?

Ok, so here's where I'm at.

I installed the [Odin]Stock EG22 Deodexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.18.4. (It's awesome, BTW!)

But after that, ROM Manager will not boot to CWM Recovery. It was booting to Samsung Recovery <3e> but now it will try, the progress bar will get to about 30%, and then the phone will restart.

If I 3-button boot, it will go into CWM 3.1.0.1 and do everything perfectly.

Should I run the fix to skip the Samsung Recovery <3e> recovery, given that I am now on kernel EG22Plus?

Thank you all for your hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Grommish:
Rom manager and the like use a recovery redrector, they don't boot into the recovery bml partition afaik.. I ALWAYS use 3finger to ensure getting to the correct recovery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
NOOB question i know but better to ask then to mess up my phone

i know theres details and instructions but better to ask

If i install this CWM version can i still install

1. stock themed deodexed roms

2. leaks like EH17 that has everything from cwm/rooted/busybox/ and kernel?

3. ECO5 SRF1.2

4. ECO5 ERA rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
yup, you can install all of those from ThePurp 3.1.0.1. i believe your nandroids will still work if coming from 3.0.2.5 but I am not certain on that
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
what about the whole kernel situation should i even worried about that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Nope. Kernel will stick unless you Odin or flash a different one or restore a nandroid with a different one.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
so then just to be clear

if i flash the CWM zip (or do i have to also flash the kernel) then i flash say ERA ECO5 Revolution rom which comes with Revolted Kernel i wont have any issues due to the kernels then?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
U should B fine ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i got this when i odined the deodexed eh17 rom. now with this clockwork, everytime i backup, i get md5 mismatch. i backed up yesterday with the older orange clockwork with no problems and never had any mismatch problems. i've tried it twice already, any ideas? or any easy way i can just flash the older clockwork or something else that will allow me to do backups?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tpike:
Was the backup you are reestoring with purple done with purple or orange?
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I can't backup, when i select backup, it goes through to the end and then says md5 mismatch. I haven't tried restoring any data that was backup in orange, just restored data that was backed up with purple, but i get md5 mismatch when I restore, which would make sense because it said md5 mismatch when it backed it up originally, but this never happened with orange.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That drove me nuts with 3.1.0.1. I got random MD5 mismatches. I lost all of my nandroids at least 3 times as well
[Epic 4G Android Development] rundmcarlson:
Hey I flashed this update to cwm and now it wont let me install zip from sd. It says E:cant mount /sdcard. I flashed with odin, and flashed your clean kernel thinking that was the problem. Is there something i did wrong? Im not booted from rom manager either, I used the vol dn, camera, and power button.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Hmm... I've been using cwm 3.1.0.1 longer than anyone else ;) ... and the only time I've ever had a problem with backups, was when there wasn't enough room on the sdcard. In those cases it wasn't evident that the backup failed due to a lack of space.

Also, keep an eye out for an "official" cwm 5, I'm waiting for the commit to come through on the cwm source that fixes tar restores for rfs, and then I'll publish it.

cwm 5 will bring faster tar backup and restores, power off added to menu, ability to just run_program("mount", "/system"); ... cool huh? And, the backup will alert you if you've run out of space! cwm 5 will be introducing official ROM Manager support for the Epic 4G and cwm updates from koush through ROM Manager. tar backups are now standard for all but yaffs2 mounts in cwm5.

chris41g and I have also discussed taking some of our custom recovery work and submitting it to the official cwm source as optional defines when the compile takes place... koush has already agreed to accept commits, as long as they don't break any existing source, which is quite understandable.

I didn't realize when I did cwm 3.1.0.1 that it would be just the beginning of another journey, and just the tip of the iceberg for another wealth of things to learn...

Anyways, both an answer, and the news!

THX 4 that update ... keep up the good work ! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
If you flashed the Clean Kernel, then you can boot to the boot kernel cwm by either of the 2 following methods:

From power off: hold down the keypad r + power, until the cwm menu appears

Use Quickboot app from market: select Reboot Recovery

Something does sound fishy though if you can't mount your sdcard from cwm... this has not ever been an issue in the past. Quite honestly I highly doubt it has anything to do with the cwm build... and I'm assuming you're running this on the original Epic 4G.

Keep me posted on your situation.

I am on stock Epic rom. I did the whole custom rom thing with my hero because of the terrible lag on the sense rom. I had aosp and cm7 gingerbread, (like both, tended towards cm7 though) andI just decided I didn't want to bother with it on my epic. It works fine the way it is, and I use go launcher so I don't deal with the ugly samsung launcher. I get better battery life with tasker and I never lag with the stock settings so I left it stock and just rooted it. Im reformatting my sd now to see if thatll do it. It works fine when android is loaded, just isnt being recognised by cwm. I'll let you know how it turns out when I eventually find the fix. Just thought I would ask before I went and tried a million different fixes lol.

Edit: Seems to be working after the format. Not sure what happened between CWM 2.5 and CWM 3.0 but the card just needed a reformat. Anyway, thanks for the great work, I love the added features!

Anybody try installing this for the OTA EI22 update? If so, did you use odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
Bump this.. I need root to reinstall all my apps and get rid of all the sprint crapware
[Epic 4G Android Development] zanderman112:
ODIN CWM and then flash the SU.zip. look at qbking77s video of how to root gingerbread ef02. same procedure
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
odin'd this file..went through..but when i went to boot up into recovery sent me to stock recovery mode..not CMW purple
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
Same for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
Odd. I was able to get it to work fine. I just used ODIN, put the tar.md5 file in the PDA, and flashed.

How did you get to EI22? I used the EC05 to EI22 update method on a completely stock EC05
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
I got EI22 via OTA.. Yeah so when i tried to Odin the file in this thread it seemed to get pushed properly, but when i rebooted it went straight to stock recovery..
[Epic 4G Android Development] HPloco:
Sprint probably requested a recovery remount script. It happend to me also I just pulled the battery right before the reboot completed and then it booted into CWM.

Edit: yeap recovery remount script. I rebooted after appling su.zip (I have root BTW) and the stock recovery came back I guess I'll go back to EC05 and manually flash everything. Can't live without my nandroid backups, and I hate that the GB calendar doesn't have 30 min intervals.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JBizzleFoSho:
I odin' to stock ec05 then used the update.zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
whats that mean?
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
I can confirm this with mine as well. My update procedure was I odined to EC05 modem. I flashed ReRfs rom through CWM. Downloaded the updated from Google and flashed that with Clockwork Mod. Got into Stock EI22, rebooted, went to download mode, Used Odin to flash the Purple Clockwork, everything seemed to work great, then when I reboot to flash SU it is still the stock recovery... I trying to flash purple clockwork, and have the same results.

I am stuck without CWM and no root. :-(

Is there a way around this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gjones77:
You have to Odin CWM once it reboots pull the battery and start up in recovery mode, CWM will be there, it's only replaced upon system boot.

So the painful workaround for now is to Odic CWM every time you need t flash something...

Sucks, but that's it for now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Ok, I have found a Fix so that Clockwork Sticks

First Odin Mkasik's EI22 Keyboard fix Kernel (PDA - Only check Auto Reboot)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307980

Then Odin Purple Clockwork.

Now it sticks for me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ArchangelRenzoku:
I'm gonna try that with ACS Recovery and see if I can get that to stick...

Thinking about using the Deodexed stock rom too though...

UPDATE: Well I was able to get CWM 3.1.0.1 to stick using this method. Now that it sticks, I was able to flash the Deodexed EI22 so it looks like this all worked out for the best. Still haven't tried it with ACS Recovery, but I'm not gonna push my luck if I got this working :P

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just a fluke for me, I suspect something in the stock kernel is causing recovery to be restored. I's say any custom kernel would work. Looks like getting clockwork will mean the need for a custom kernel from here on out unless our deva come up with something special. Perhaps something like the old clean kernel built ibro the clockwork flash would make it a one step process.

[Epic 4G Android Development] TallCan211:
Tried it with the ACS Recovery 1.0.0.5 and it stuck, too!

This method works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stilesja:
Thats probably why some people haven't had problems with it, they were using ACS Recovery. Good to know. I am preferring to stick with CWM for now and it seems any custom kernel allows it to stick. I flashed nubernal 0.0.1 and it still had it sticking.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Rodderik:
i believe it doesn't stick because the stock kernel is calling /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which patches the recovery partition with the stock recovery each time it boots...flashing any custom kernel should fix the problem (as long as the developer has disabled that which they should have)

E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p2

I've used this version of 3.1.0.1 for quite some time now and it is legit, but I want to check in to see if someone can tell me what the following issue means....Every time I wipe data in CWM 3.1.0.1 here is what it says:

-- Wiping data....

Formatting /data....

Formatting /cache....

Formatting /sd-ext...

E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

Data wipe complete.

What is the E: format_volume entry above, is it an "issue", and is there a way to fix this issue if it is an issue....? I've had that message every single time I wipe data through multiple Rom's/Build's and it's always there.....

I apologize if this has been covered...
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Just to clarify on this... it isn't an issue, I promise.

when I did cam 3.1.0.1, I put in support for an sd-ext partition, which was mandated by koush, the creator of ClockworkMod.

to my knowledge, no one has yet to utilize or format this partition on the sdcard.

whenever you wipe, it tries to format that partition on the sdcard, but since it doesn't exist, it gives the error message.

Don't worry, there isn't anything wrong.

Hope that helps!

So just to ask an obvious question, everything that was cwm 3.0.0.6 flashable is flashable with 3.0.2.5 right? And everything that was flashable with 3.0.2.5 is flashable with 3.1.0.1? So this is just an upgrade? It is the "next generation" cwm?

I Totaly understand that we all have our colors we like & hate. But do you guys (devs hint hint) really think its a good idea to have more than one color? the only reason i say that is because i can see a noob reading some thing about a Color x CWM & using an old one when hes using the wrong one but the right color.

Could anyone that knows answer me this question please? In the OP, it says in "features" : Built-in busybox is full Cyanogen busybox 1.16.2 with-install -s feature built in. Could someone please tell/explain what this means, please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
I'll be happy to explain...

the reason I spent 3 full days learning to hack the busybox in the cwm binary, was to replace the "other" busybox 1.18.0 in my kernel, since having both busybox in the recovery binary, and another whole busybox binary, is redundant.

So, I learned to use make menuconfig, and make (which fails, due to cm), and then I copied over the config files needed to the busybox minimal config that the cwm compile uses.

I also had to incorporate the --install feature, so that using this recovery binary with full busybox included, could be easily installed by kernel and ROM devs... I just couldn't see devs adopting the recovery busybox otherwise. This enables busybox symlinks to be installed by using busybox --install -s /system/xbin, for example.

Excluding busybox 1.18.0 from the kernel, reduced the size of my Clean Kernel by over 900kb...

Hope that helps clarify things!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Thank you for your reply DRockstar, so this cwm version has busybox built in? Does this mean that kernel devs can leave busybox out of their kernels? Also, wen you flash this cwm, it installs busybox, right? And because it Cyanogen busybox, this will work with CyanogenMod?
