Same here -- midNIGHT ROM v5.4 or Android4Autism:

failed to stat "/mnt/sdcard/.bonsai/config.prop": No such file or directory E:error in /sdcard/roms/midNIGHT ROM v5.4 BYOR Journaling ON.zip (status 7) installation aborted

Tried this coming from srf 1.1.1 (full wipe) as well as coming from midnight 5.3 (full wipe as well as not full wipe) - CWM 3.1.0.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
ROM is pulled while I look into this
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
I'm back on 5.3 -- let me know if you want me to test flash anything...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I got it working. Not real sure what the problem was. I'm test flashing it a few times just to make sure but so far so good. I'll email you with a link to test it when it's ready and uploaded. Thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Correct. This is actually because I have the the midNIGHT ROM Extras folder copying over first. This also places the .bonsai folder on the card as well, triggering the script to keep journaling ON.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
I compared the ./bonsai/config.prop files on the root of my sd card vs the one in the 5.4 rom -- both match:

ro.bonsai.system.bdev=/dev/block/stl9

ro.bonsai.system.journal=y

ro.bonsai.data.bdev=/dev/block/stl10

I got it working.... I was on sfr 1.1.1, flashed the bonsai kernel pre release which updated my clockwork. Then flashed it and it worked. Took a while but it worked.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I was just wondering that. I'm also using the new bonsai recovery. It's working for me as well. The install takes awhile because the causes its copying 200mb to the SDcard.

Thx
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
So has anybody had success flashing this with 3.1.0.1 purple recovery?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nfamisnme:
Not yet, im actually flashing back to eb13 to update back to ec05 to unlock with the bonsai master key. I beleive this method should work. I will post an update with my results. Using the cwm3 (purple), i think were all getting the same error with the .bonsai folder not being seen with the build prop, even after extracting the folder from the zip and manually placing it on the sd card. Im sure this will be resolved shortly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Hey everyone. I can no longer reproduce this issue. This is my setup, not that it should matter.

1)EC05 and re-rooted with masterkey for new bonsai recovery

2)Placed zip on the card

3)booted into Recovery

4)Wiped the data

5) flash the ROM

6) That's it.

I'm not sure what's happening. I sent someone a new revision that I test flashed about 6 times with no problem and he got the same error as before. Unless something is happening during upload. I can't fix what I can't reproduce. I'm using I'm using the same script as the "Working" Android4Autism ROM is. I have flashed this ROM on 3 different Epics and it works flawlessly. The original Android4Autism build had the same issues after upload. I'm not sure what's happening. I'm sorry but I just can't get it to error out for me.

How many of you are using the bonsai recovery? If not then that's is the only thing that I can think of.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nfamisnme:
UPDATE.....(drum roll please......) TADA it worked!

I used odin to revert back to eb13 and did an ota update to ec05, then i used the bonsai master key v1.1.0 for windows. Then after the phone was unlocked i gave her the old 3 finger salute and wiped 3x like normal and installed the zip. NO ERRORS, PERFECT INSTALL, ALSO the font is B E A U T I F U L.....another outstanding release....Thanks for all your hard work i appretiate all that you do. Keep up the great work...
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Got it to work. From midnight 5.3 on the purple cwm, I flashed bonsai 4.1.1 which converted my recovery. Then booted into bonsai recovery and flashed midnight 4.5

[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Sounds like the Bonsai Masterkey is the trick here. I personally like that recovery better than clockwork anyway. I'm thinking you can probably just run the Bonsai unlocker to get this ROM on and then reflash CWM if you really love purple.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ericizzy1:
any plans for reposting the rom today?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Just finishing a movie and I'll repost.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
The ROM is back up. While flashing this it will say Android4Autism. Just ignore that. I pulled the script from the Android4Autism ROM.

It appears that using the Bonsai Recovery is Key or MasterKey rather... :)

I bumped the version number to 5.5 simply to distinguish the two builds. If you have it working already then you don't need this....

Thanks for your patience. I have a lot going on right now.

lockscreen?

Does anyone know if the other lockscreens will work with this rom? Im looking for the aosp lock, but not this blue one, the older one, or maybe the maddoggin pack of 8 lockscreens. I liked the bigger icons for the lock button and sound on/off button. Also any battery mods that will work with this rom?

[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Nice job Rob. My phone hates anything Bonsai for some reason (except Bonsai recovery), so once I switched kernels, 5.5 is fast and rock solid. I love the new font, it really pops. Great work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
First of all this is a Bonsai Kernel, just an older one. I've been really happy with it, so be sure to thank the Bonsai team for that. I'm glad you like it. I can't remember the name of the font I used. I have been using it on the my Nexus for a while and used it in the Android4Autism ROM. I really like it. I'll see if I can find it. I want to say it was a Sony font. Anyway, if I find it I post the name....

Glad everyone is having better luck now. I honestly know idea what was going wrong before. Hey as long as it works, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Right.

Just flashed v5.5 and everything is running great. The only problem/issue I've found is that there is no longer an "Accounts & Sync" selection under settings. Was this left out of the ROM or did I just get a bad flash?

Thanks Rob for all your work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
Crap, crap, crap. You're right. Must have accidentally left that out when I rebuilt it yesterday. Nice catch. Alright I'll re-upload the ROM but I have upload a "fix". Look for the AccountAndSyncSettings.zip underneath the ROM link on the Development Page.

Sorry guys..... Just flash the AccountAndSyncSettings.zip and your good to go.

edit: i only scored 1579 on the quadrant...so prolly not

It is ext4, but journalling is now on so you lose some speed in order to gain stability. Use it real world and you won't notice anything though. It is a great daily driver with basically no lag.

So, first of all, I am a HUGE fan of the midnight roms, and the campaign to make everyone more autism aware. That being said, I need to know what hoops are necessary to jump thru to not lose data in switching from midnight 5.3 to 5.5. Already have it downloaded to the sd card...

...but I am on cwm 3.0.2.5 and didnt read all the posts before sacrificing my lunch break to realizing that my phone needs this bonsai recovery. If I update to cwm 3.1, flash the Bonsai4All_Leafless_v4.1.1.zip in recovery, then can I flash the 5.5? The OP isnt super clear, besides saying to root with masterunlocker. Thanks!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] soundwave4:
1st off, Thank You Rob for your time, patience, dedication and technical prowess, all while being "lost & tired."

I can't talk for everyone else, but I figured out why I had the ".bonsai/config.prop" error during the flash. Maybe it might help troubleshoot for others.

While I don't "live" on the XDA forums; I hop on every few months when 2 or more versions have passed or when a nice performance increase occurs. Unfortunately, not being on the forum every 14 minutes causes me to have to redo my research of how to properly and safely flash ROMS, while trying to remember what I did correctly months ago.

So, as I was building my step-by-step-how-to for months from now while re-reading the forums, I came up with this set of instructions:

1) Odin flash EC05 (sure I was already on midNIGHT 5.3, but I didn't find the upgrade instructs that easy, so "screw it" and start from 0)

2) Install Bonsai Masterkey (which I read that Rob preferred, so I had to track *that* down, even though I have no idea what the heck it does besides root)

3) Install CWM-Rom Manager from the Market (which has been the standard procedure for flashing ROMs)

4) upgrade CWM to 3.2.0.5 because of the new partition

5) flash midNIGHT (and get frustrated to due the error)

So after a dinner walk and a cool shower, I reread the forums *again*, and *finally* realized that Masterkey *IS ALSO* the CWM/Recovery installer as well as the root unlocker. So maybe I *don't* need to get the Rom Manager and CWN I've been so used to for the past year.

Did steps 1, 2 & 5 (skipping 3 & 4) and voila, 5.5 flashes with no issues. I just didn't get that Masterkey not only roots but also installs the CWM recovery.

Hope that helps narrow down the troubleshooting a bit; perhaps teh "dueling recoveries" were gumming up the works.

Minor issue: [Settings-About Phone] causes a FC. If this was already mentioned, I'm sorry I missed it.

Please keep up the great work and get some rest! <thumbs up>
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I will tell you what I did, and I did not lose any of my data. I ran masterunlocker on top of cwm 3.0.2.5, then flashed midnight 5.5 (first deleting the midnight rom extras folder from the root of my sd card), then running the midnight rom 5.4 standard upgrade.

Even though I didn't lose any data, I did have to reset some of my personal preferences, as some went back to default.

Could you explain how you installed CWM 3.2.0.5 cleanly, please?

Did you upgrade midNIGHT or did you start from stock as I did?

Apparently, the way I got there, then installed Masterunlocker afterwards, was giving me issues.

Thank you!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JojoSteez:
I'm on midNIGHT 5.3 and am trying to upgrade to 5.4/5. Will this not flash at all in CWM? The Bonsai Masterkey won't communicate with my Epic. I think I may just hold out for GB whenever it comes if this won't work.

I had to odin back to ec05 (I tried midnight v6.0 with ee03 with no success), I rooted and loaded 3.0.2.5, then ran the oneclick_ext4converter.zip, then flashed midnight 5.3, which I was running for the last 3 weeks. I will add that originally when I flashed 5.3 I was using it with journaling off for about a week and a half, but it ended up getting corrupted, so I had to reflash it, and when I did I also flashed journaling on.

I have EXT4 EB13 2.2 CWM 3.0.0.6 with ver. 4.2 of midnightrom now

I am getting all sorts of force quit messages and the dialer wont work and messaging wont work - I have to reboot the phone every 20 min or so to get it working - this all happened over night with no warning at all, I didnt even install anything that could have caused this - maybe a stray neutrino hit a bit and flipped it, I dont know all I know is I can barley make calls without everything crashing

I want to update to 5.5 or the latest there is - first do I need to update CWM, I am at 3.0.0.6, second do I have to do the odin to get the new modem, I am running EB13?

again I have EB13 2.2 EXT4 ROOT CWM 3.0.0.6 and midnightrom 4.2

so I will probably want to do a full wipe and restore because of the problems I have and I dont need any of the things on my phone - so I download the 5.5 "fixed" file and put it onto the SD card then flash like normal?, do I need any "extras" like before or are they in the download? - how do I wipe everything? the option in the CWM screen?

thanks for your help and again sorry I really hate people who do what I am doing and posting without reading to try to figure it out but again I have to I really dont have time working 14 hours a day 6 days a week - please understand

You should use odin to restore a clean eb13 install, then click settings and about phone and system updates and click update android. Update via over the air to ec05. Then install the clockwork mod/root and once your cwm is installed and u are rooted turn off the phone and press the camera button and the volumn down and power button together to enter cwm. Then wipe three times both factory restore then wipe cache three times. Then once your done install the midnight rom 5.5 zip file you downloaded to your sd card.

I have the samsung software to flash the EB13 2.2 stock, but since I have EXT4 it wont see the phone and just hangs

I have an odin file that is 2.2, EB13, EXT4, CWM 3.0.0.6, ROOT all in 1 package - I have stock after this but its EXT4 so will it still OTA update? - should I just odin this again or get another odin package for the stock RFS one?

I was thinking about using the odin here for people who have a bricked phone or close to that

also is this rom patched for this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nfamisnme:
There's a thread available that has all the different .tar md5 files available for u to download. I reccomend using it and downloading the eb13 tar md5 file. Then use that file with odin and use either cwm or if u want bonsai makes a unlock tool as well. And do it this way, u might achieve greater results this way. All in ones can be useful sometimes but in your case try this method.

go here and use this Bonsai MasterKey Unlocker to root your phone. You might like this one more than the ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.5

http://www.bonsaigeek.com/content/bonsai-masterkey-unlocker-v110

Also you dont have to pay for anything, but you do have to sign up, its free so i recommend you try this method first, and if you still want to use ClockWorkMod 3.0.2.5 , go here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076967

Then dont forget to update your Clockworkmod so go here..........

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13693020

After you have successfully rooted your phone, go into clockworkmod and (bonsai masterkey unlocker also boots with the 3 finger salute) scroll down(use the volume up and down key) to wipe data/factory reset and select it by pressing the camera button. Do this 3 times. Then scroll down to wipe cache partition and select this and do this 3 times. Then scroll down to install zip from sd card and select the folder you put the rom zip file in and select the rom. Then sit back relax and watch the magic unfold.......Also as far your question goes pertaining to the malware patch, you can apply the patch after you have successfully installed the rom. You have to install the .zip file through clockworkmod .
[Epic 4G Android Development] nfamisnme:
There are numerous advantages to upgrading your current clockworkmod. Heres the highlights......

* USB Mass Storage working from the menu, and top text changed, to reflect safe removal of sdcard from PC *before* leaving USB Mass Storage menu

* Purple text and icon color, everyone seemed to hate the orange color

* Key Codes fixed, menu is now the select key, and top text changed to reflect this

* Only one "No" in confirmations, only need to click down once to get to "Yes"

* Built-in busybox is full Cyanogen busybox 1.16.2, with --install -s feature built in

* sd-ext ext4 partition listed in recovery.fstab, a direct change from koush

* Compatible with cwm 3.0.2.5, and has been tested by many in irc.fossnet.info #epic channel
