Source

My source for the device files used to compile recovery and the initramfs are both on my personal GitHub for your enjoyment.

Credits

Don't forget to thank koush for his awesome work on ClockworkMod / ROMManager.

Another thanks to chris41g for helping out with the recovery.fstab and various time spent on looking through my code.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
How is this different from what codeworkx posted?

The recovery.fstab of this kernel will successfully mount the SD card as well as the internal storage, the recovery.fstab in his kernel doesn't (it's cloned from the SGSII international).

The recovery.rc in this kernel makes a directory for emmc (internal storage) to mount to, his does not.

Changelog

SPH-D710_ClockworkMod_Recovery_5.0.2.6.tar

-This is the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery compiled fresh from the Cyanogenmod gingerbread repo.

SPH-D710_ClockworkMod_Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar

-This is ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.3 compiled from the Cyanogenmod gingerbread repo.

-Internal and external (SD) both mount in recovery.

Bugs

-mounting usb storage might take a little bit longer than expected, that is because it is mounting both the internal storage and the sdcard to your computer.

Love this post. Classic attempt to reserve a second post space....

I'm gonna flash this. Very nice work... Did you by chance add support for custom boot animation?

Thanks alot bubby for all your awesome work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rde34:
Is this the same recovery used in chris41g's stock rooted... kernel? Just tryin to keep up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Yes, he is using this same recovery i compiled both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
So does this leave the existing kernel in place? So you can have a stock kernel and CWM recovery?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
This is a stock kernel with cwm. It replaces the kernel you have flashed currently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
@bubby- did you get a new phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
I'm so glad I waited for CWM, this is the one for me.

Thank you so much.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
No. Im just deving on what i got.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
Ok, great. Just flashed it... Didn't need to root cause I already had the root from Zedos v3 and it worked in the stock kernel. Why do I get the caution sign at boot with this if it is stock? I didn't get the caution sign with the EG30 stock kernel and had root...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
By stock i mean based on stock its still a custom kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
Cwm is causing the triangle to my knowledge. Anyone who has cwm without a triangle is free to chime in. Thanks bubby for this. Any chance your working on a more custom one that removes the extra no's?

Dicho por Latinmaxima del Epic Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I know you said stock so no boot animation support?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Im getting this all squared off and then i can add whatever everybody wants. This however is just clockwork.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] alnova1:
So if this is the same as chris41g's stock rooted kernel it probably won't help my LOS issues that I'm having now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
That is cool. Personally if it had boot animation support I would be in heaven. I want to keep it clean. Thanks again for the awesome work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
The one "pulled from phone " with no damn triangle?

The "pulled from stock " kernel seems to to the REAL stock kernel. Quads are higher with it and I have never gotten LOS with it.. just saying..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
No. It had the triangle. Any time you flash a kernel with Odin it gives you the triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Flashed the "pulled" kernel with Odin and no triangle
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Thanks bubby. Guys, I am sure bubby and Chris will crack getting rid of the yellow triangle at some point soon. Its being worked on as we speak. This phone gets such great battery life and has so few issues that I hardly ever see the boot animation as it is. Keep it up bubby. You and Chris are doing a great job
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the triangle is due to flashing a nonsigned kernel with odin... there is a way, and im working on it.. but not having the phone is a hinderment.. if thats a word anyway
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Only posting to confirm that with the "pulled" stock kernel there is no triangle icon at boot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Does this have the stock kernel? And if not, how is it different from the other kernel+?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
There is a yellow triangle but they are saying you can't get rid of that right now unless it is truly the original signed stock kernel. This one is compiled with stock source but it has CWM. I might be wrong but I don't think it's possible to have the EG30 stock kernel and CWM without recompiling. I'll give it a day and see if I get the LOS. And for those that don't think it's the kernel don't reply with your stupid BS. I have 3 different kernels and stock. I don't get LOS on stock but get it several times a day on the others...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] henbone11:
jig can get rid of it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
So just curious. I flashed the kernel you and Chris released last night and everything seems good. But just wondering what the differences are, if any, between that one and this one. Thanks for all the work. Its greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
+1 I am so damned confused with all these root methods, tar files, recoveries...lol. HELP ME! I flashed the one released by codeworkx earlier today. Should I flash THIS one now? Should the cyanogen team port their rom over, this tar file should be fine, yes? I just want cyanogen!

Thanks for all the hard work, BTW.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bblanski:
I am in the exact same boat
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
Yep gonna flash and use jig. Great work Bubby thx.

Edit: no Triangle:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stangdriverdoug:
I got my jig coming. Very handy to have just in case.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
You will love it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Does it also send you to downloade mode when off?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gerald410:
Yes it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
I like this root method so much better. :) Now, any plans on getting the "go back " fixed? Great work guys!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeffyv2:
If I flash this can I use a different kernel and keep the cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
This is a kernel so any kernel you flash over it will erase this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
no...

and yes the jig works, but im working on a software way to get rid of the yellow triangle...

edit: the no was to the post before crawrj.. hes right

Lost story long.

I had this installed:

Original stock rom + ACS cwm5.x+kernel-plus. Everything was working but the swiping seemed a bit jerky. I had a nand backup of it.

I decided to update in this way:

Flash in recovery ACS stock rom deodexed, flash in odin ACS cmw5.x+kernel-plus, flash in recovery ACS AOI mod. Wipe caches, reboot.

Lots of things broke - speech recorder/voice search/accu weather disappeared among other broken things.

But swiping was very smooth.

I then restored nand backup of the original stock+ ACS cmw5.x+kernel-plus.

Immediate LOS within 10 minutes (never had LOS before.)

I then flashed ACS stock pulled kernel in odin - wifi wouldn't get ip.

I now flashed your cmw+kernel - wifi connects, everything seems to be there and working, and swiping is smooth.

Go figure!

Any comments?

P.S. I always reboot multiple times and wipe caches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bushdiverq:
Acs stock deodexed Rom was missing the apps not this kernel. I had the same issue with stock kernel and that Rom not pulling IP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bobbywatts:
Just Odin The new CWM 5.0.2.3

And the "GO BACK" is in there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
What do you mean by "new" one? Was the op updated?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Having read this again I am not sure I was clear. The menu go back works. I am looking for the back soft button to work for going back. It worked in the version 4 but not now. I am sure it will get fixed just making sure it is pointed out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Recovery is just VolUp+Power when the phone is off. Hold VolUp, press and hold power (while still holding VolUp). You'll see the starting screen, keep holding until it goes away and comes back again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
There we go! :)

What ROM's would you suggest for this thing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I am STILL bone stock, scared to get that LOS crap seeing I havent got it EVER with bone stock, But I cant stand it anymore and i NEED TO ROOT! Will flashing this give me root, or do I need a step before this? All these thousands of different threads and kernals are soooo confusing coming from HTC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Root instructions are in the OP. Download the file mentioned, and flash it in recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
I did this yesterday and I never had the LOS issue and after Odin this CWM I had 2 LOS last night and battery drop from 100 to 70 overnight, be ready.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
I've had the issue u describe b4 but haven't had it with this method. I actually saw those issues creep up when I flashed a "full" custom rom. Haven't seen the issue when I flash a tar file with Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aaron130:
I can see me waiting to root till samsung comes out with an update for that dam issue. Lol, even though it's getting REALLY HARD to wait anymore!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
Before I Odin CWM I only was Deoexed rooted and of course I Odin the tar and I was in wonderland but I wanted to get CWM last night and start geting this problem. I guess every phone is different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Please allow me to shed some light on this situation. I rooted via this method last night and NO los at any point or battery drain. I even updated cwm this Morning via Odin cause i heard some things were fixed......still no los.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
Like I said every phone acts different and good for you cool that everything works as should.

Where is this updated CWM that you speak of, I still see the same one in the OP....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
Going back to EG30 Stock kernel + root! Getting LOS with this kernel. Don't tell me it's not the kernel and it's Sprint's problem because I don't get LOS on the EG30 Stock kernel!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
:) just trying to see maybe if there are any differences in devices with hardware that could cause los is all and want to point it out. As for the update...i could have sworn someone said it was updated is why i flashed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Bubby, thanks for all your help. U may have already noticed but codeworkx updated his op correcting some issues. I asked about the issues u specifically address in your op, but his response seems to imply that there is no issue with his kernel (maybe I'm misinterpreting). Several members on that thread are feeling kinda confused (myself included). Could u check that thread and maybe offer some insight? I don't know which tar file I should stick with. Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
offering insight, when the recovery wasnt tested enough to know it doesnt work right before release isnt going to help... i dont even have the phone, and mine was tested for atleast 3 days by 4 diff testers, and many diff teamviewer sessions before i was ready for release..

at the beginning of his thread, i told him it wouldnt work correctly, and so did bubby.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
So according to your post, users should stick with the tar file offered on THIS thread, correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
Yes. Chris knows his ****. I loved his kernels on the epic.

Thanks again to all the devs who make this possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
@bubby - does this thread replace your other thread for recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
What I'm saying is, at this point, this one works, and the other one seems not to. Like I said.. I don't have the phone. This is the kernel I would use if I wanted a kernel with CWR5 and no root built in.

I'm not flaming anyone or saying Codeworkx isn't a great dev, as we all know that isnt the case.. but when you do as much as he does it can sometimes get hectic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Yeah, makes sense. Appreciate your responses. I'll stick with this for now. I'm crossing my fingers for cyanogenmod!!

Edit: Just an FYI, codeworkx confirmed that the issue has been fixed on their repo but his op with the fix will not be updated today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bobbywatts:
I was comparing it to codeworkx CWM ( meaning new one)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
O.k. guys.....I just witnessed my first LOS. WTF! I'm posting this here because this is where i first did my root method.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
OMG, don't say that! It can't be true, you must of had LOS before cause it's a Sprint/Samsung problem and according to other members here these roms/kernels don't cause this... lol!

The thing that bothers me is that this thread states it's a stock EG30 kernel but if that were the case you would not get the yellow triangle and LOS would be the same as the ACS EG30 Stock - Pulled from non rooted phone kernel which has yet to give me LOS.

Just load the the ACS EG30 Stock - pulled from non rooted phone kernel and all will be fine. If you don't have root try loading Zedo's v3 first then the ACS EG30 Stock. I've been on many different kernels and the only ones that don't have LOS is the OEM original and the ACS EG30 Stock - pulled from non rooted phone kernels.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Nah, i knew its not due to root for sure because one of my coworkers parents have 2 and LOL they dont even know what root is and they get los. I just hope Sprint fixes the issue....I will try your method. Cant i just root this way again from this thread then odin the stock rooted kernel? And will it keep CWM5? Im so used to HTC devices, im kinda lost at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lento10:
I was getting LOS when I was unrooted and very low data speed.

I don't think root causes LOS. I wonder if odin wipes anything before flashing the tar ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lokko21:
I think he was being sarcastic, cuz of course you got the LOS because of this and Im not being ungrateful I really appreciate what every dev does for us even they don't have to.

Thanks for your hard work and looking forward for your next release.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

I don't think its root, I think is the kernel, but who knows really.......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jvjidNite:
Experienced one LOS today. Never happens on fully stock. Will continue to use this for a while longer and see how it goes. Great job guys, your hard work is appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Is there a file I can flash just to get the lastest clock works without the kernel? Also every time I flash another kernel that has a differemt version of clock works will it keep changing my clock works version? It seems like almost all kernels have clock works included. When I had my evo this wasn't so with kernals... can some one enlighten me please :-) thanxs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] james33440:
Possibly a zip we could flash in recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
No right now if u want clockwork u have to flash a kernel. I wish we could. We did this on the original epic. Yes it will change your cwm. Whatever the kernel cwm version it has u will have that one.

*********musclehead**********

Hey muscle head, if I had a older version of clock works and did a nand backup and now habe a newer version can I still do a nan restore through the new CWM of the older backup?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkirmeier:
Yup, seems that we cannot have stock kernel and cwm. If you have LOS problems with these alternate kernels flash the ACS Stock EG30 - Pulled from non rooted phone kernel and all will be good again. If you want root (of course you do) just flash Zedo's v3 first then the ACS stock EG30 kernel and you will have a stock rom, no yellow triange, and root! Watch out for other kernels that developers are calling "Stock kernel". The only kernels that I don't get LOS are the original OEM stock (out of box) and the ACS Stock EG30 - pulled from non rooted phone kernel. The nice thing is you can flash these other kernels and back to the stock one without any issues so if you are willing to experience LOS and want to experiment then go for it...

Damn, that's a good question.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
you should be able to. Clockwork does a 1 for 1 copy of the nand so you should have no problems. I don't believe that there were any significant changes in the way 4.x to 5.x do recoveries. As long as I'm using CWM my backups have always worked.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Its not certain that a nandroid from one version will restore on a newer version but usually they will. Also, if you are stock and are nervous about getting issues, crawrj has the full stock ROM to Odin. It works great so its possible to go back to full stock
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spdwiz18:
I belueve.this is due to the file names being different. Cmw2 makes img files and cmw5 makes tar files. This is just my theory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
does this kernel support custom bootani??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Alright, I keep reading through all these kernel threads (banging my head on the desk) trying to figure what's going on.

I'm coming from being on 3 different HTC Android devices. On there, you flash a recovery and they don't change often. There's usually 2 to choose from. You flash kernels to overclock, battery improvements, and better processing speed. ROMs are abundant and list out all the changes they made to the system, apps, themes, and so on.

On here, kernels seem to include recovery and other things...it's a big mixture. I see multiple people releasing different kernels in different threads. I'm not sure why they can't have one thread with there kernels and listing the differences? I also don't seem to get clear understanding on what is always different or changed in them. Sorry for the rant, but things are so different between the ET4G threads and the HTC threads.

So after trying to figure stuff out, it seems like this kernel or codeworkx is most up to date ones to go with, correct?

I do think ODIN is pretty easy to use though...and that's definitely nice! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat. I went with this kernel as well & I'm very happy with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilmikeyv:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
I had flashed rootish 5 from ACS site a couple of weeks ago and had the LOS prob, so went back to stock eg30 "pulled from phone". Did not have anymore LOS probs.

So Wednesday night, i flashed this kernel with CWM. The next day, it seems nearly impossible to get a full charge (sitting on charger several hours while on). And seemed to drain faster. But maybe I had something running.

Anyway, about 20 hours later, last night, I got an LOS. And again this morning. Had to reboot to get service back. I'll keep it for a couple more days and see if I still have battery drain issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
I've been wanting to flash this kernel. I've tried 2 other kernels with cwm, but had LOS pretty badly. I'm gonna have to test this one this weekenfm

Could you update and let us know if you get more LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
Just letting you know that this is one of the few I have flashed where I've gotten NO LOS. I've had it running for about 3 days now. I think every device is somehow affected differently. I've run others where members were denying any LOS issue and yet I had them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
I sadly flashed this and have had 2 occurrences of LOS where as with the Stock Kernel it has never had LOS.

I got my phone didn't root, which I normally do, installed the first root we had available and had LOS, went back to stock, had no LOS, flashed this and got LOS...

I'm currently still on it though I'm not sure for how long. I think I'm going to try codeworkx's clockwork and see if I get LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
This is the only one that I haven't tried yet. Will test it tonight and all weekend. I want cwm, start flashing roms and themes...thanks for the info bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pathtologos:
No problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Not a dev so I can't really say or do much, but does anyone have any idea if this LOS thing will be resolved any time soon? I know we are supposedly waiting on Samsung for a fix, but it pretty much seems like this is only a serious issue for those that are using custom kernels. They could be sitting back laughing at us right now for trying to hack their phone.

Is anyone on here looking into fixing this themselves? I saw logcats, are people infinitely more experienced with this stuff than I am looking at them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
I know two people with stock factory phones that have experienced the los but I think it is more frequent with a rooted kernel

Formerly Tuffgong4 on xda
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I want to flash this...but hesitant. Haven't had any LOS of service and there is no ROM that I want to flash yet. Now if I see MIUI or CM7...I'm flashing this within minutes.

I do wish that the devs would cleanup kernels in this thread. The same devs are posting multiple different kernels in different threads. It adds confusion especially to noobs. Having it in one thread and marking the differences between the different kernels would make it a lot easier. Just my opinion.

With that said...damn flash itch isn't going away. LOL.
