[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] paranoid android85:
the kernel from this thread is untouched, it just has cmw
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
um.. haven't you read that this is "pulled" from a phone, as the new one is from a .tar?...

Either way im speaking of EG31 .tar that just got posted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
try it now, it should work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Cwm4 that was released was for another phone, and was misconfigured... that's the only reason it had nandroids on the internal sd.. what good is a backup, if you can't remove it from your phone if the phone dies?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Thank you very much for this, Chris. Is there something wrong with CWM 5.0.2.6 that would make you not use it instead of 5.0.2.3?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I don't think it addresses or fixes any issues relevant to this phone, so there is no need to upgrade to .26 in my opinion.. just using what's been working in my kernels, no need to change it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
So..has the mount problem been fixed? What about getting rid of the triangle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
thanks for acknowledging. backup went fine but, the phone is now running really hot and it just rebooted in the middle of a phone call. Haven't had a problem for 2 days running straight up stock pulled. I wonder if CWM is the main problem with all these kernels?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Getting rid of the triangle is dealt with in another thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
That's really strange.. nothing has changed at all in the normal boot side of the initramfs... and kernel itself is unchanged
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Yeah. I went back to stock pulled and it cooled right off. Don't shoot the messenger. (/me shrugs)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I replaced this zimage in with chris script. Run in adb and no triange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Maybe it is a bug in CWM that was addressed in newest release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
is this kernel working im stock need cwm5 on stock kernel does this work??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
Mine has been getting hotter than normal too. Battery is at 108. Strange.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] analyst28:
I am running completly stock with this kernel aside from the SU zip to get root. Everything is going well but i cant get my exchange account set up. I am getting an error every time, is anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] el_korrekaminoz:
thankss!! work perfect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lballer69:
What rom r u using
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amoricaorbust:
108 is relatively cool. My phone with just odex root Stock kernel is currently 110 on idle. I ran on stock for 2 weeks before rooting and I've seen no drastic difference in the temp on my phone since rooting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Can people please post experience using this kernel with stock rom? Is overheat just an anomaly some are having? Thinking of taking the plunge...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Flashed this. When I try to install the root su zip in cWM it says install aborted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
the zip that I linked?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] strongsteve:
I gotta say that it is pretty freakin fantastic to run the "pulled" kernel, CWM, and no triangle.. top it off with tegrak and I am pretty damn happy. Thanks Chris!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
Working fine for me with stock odexed rooted rom.

On stock rom and have not noticed any difference in temp's.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Yeah. It looks like it did actually install the superuser.apk in system/app though. Weird that it said installation aborted and it installed it anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Agreed, this is what I have been waiting for. Thanks a million, Chris!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
So with this cwm 5 mounting internal card working or not?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
Idk man. My phone averages between 85-90 degrees doing anything including video play back. The hottest I ever got it was running a bench mark 15x just for the purpose of seing how hot I could get this thing at 1.6ghz and I did it while I was charging which ups the battery temp alot more. Guess what!? I only got my phone up to 107degress. Idle of 110 is very hot wether you think it or not unless your using your your phone in a microwave oven or in arizona in a parking lot sarounded by mirrors
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Well, this is odd. I decided to try and flash this again. Before flashing, my battery was running between 87.8 and 93.2F. After flashing again it is running the same, now. It's not heating up, at all, anymore. I remember when I noticed it heating up, I was connected to my BT headset and on a phone call. So, I hooked to BT and made a test call to Sprint. Hooking to BT doesn't raise the temp, at all. Calling does but, only slightly. I got to 98.6F steady during the call. After hangup, it dropped right back to idle temp. Maybe, I had a bad flash, last time. I'm going to give it some time to see what happens. I'll let you know tomorrow what my findings are.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

been playing music on poweramp through BT and temp is steady at 89.6F. I am thinking it def was a bad flash somehow, that first time. I don't get it. Maybe there were other factors that I am unaware of. Would a logcat help figure it out?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Working for me so far thanks Chris.

What program are you guys using to track temps?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I'm just using battery indicator from market. When you pull down the notification bar, it shows stats with temp/voltage being one of them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Does this kernel have support for Wireless Tether for Root? Iptables/netfilter?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I use mini info widget. Pretty useful IMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
its stock... so if stock does, then this does..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Hm.. am I supposed to be getting the yellow triangle and it being listed as a custom downloaded binary? I thought this was stock, so it wouldn't have any of this? Unless I am missing something? I took the .md5 off of the download link on ACS, unless I wasn't supposed to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tiffany84:
It is the stock kernel but since it was repacked with CWM recovery it breaks the signature and is now considered a custom kernel and that's why your getting the yellow triangle. Also, you can leave the md5 on the end of the file name before you flash.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Alright, just wanted to make sure. It isn't a huge hassle, as I have a jig, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't happen to flash the wrong thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I was looking at one of those, where you get yours at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
Thanks for the update. I didn't see a CWM zip package of this, so I added the zImage of this to the kernel zip posted here.

So if you already have a kernel with CWM installed, you can use this zip to update to this kernel.

Thanks goes to everyone involved!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I didnt post a zip, because if they are wanting stock with CWM, they probably dont have CWM.. its also included in the no triangle method though..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] amoricaorbust:
TX, but it's cooled down quite a bit in the last few weeks :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
good point. however if someone flashed a rom that included a different kernel they would have to go tether to a PC to Odin this kernel. in a .zip they would be able to flash the new kernel much easier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I ordered mine from Skisky1 on Amazon.

It works great, the only downsides I got were with logistics in shipping (went from south carolina, to ohio, to north carolina). The other issue, was how it was packaged in the manilla envelope, when I opened up the packing slip, the jig popped out of it and fell into the sink.

Its small, really small. So it may be difficult to keep track of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Good thing you didn't open it over the toilet.;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkmx2000:
Stock kernel and CWM5 FTW!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
One thing I've noticed is that CWM takes an obscenely long time to make a backup. It may be due to the fact that I have a class 2 SD card and a lot to back up, but backups on my EVO 4G never took this long. Even generating the MD5 sum took a really long time where on my EVO it was like 30 seconds tops.

Any one else getting this? Any clue what could be making it so slow?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odub303:
It's a combo of your class 2 sd card plus the fact that backups for this device are more than twice as large as backups on the Evo and OG Epic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Does internal SD card mounting working on this version of cwm 5?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
For installing ZIPs? Yes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Euclid's Brother:
That's cool.. but for those (like me) running a custom ROM that has a CWM kernel in it.. whenever we reflash the the ROM (ie upgrade), they lose this kernel, but still have CWM (ie Starbust ROM). So with a zip version kept on the micro, it's easy to just reflash this from CWM after doing the ROM upgrade. yes?

EDIT: guess i should have kept reading.. jase33 said the same thing.. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Ok this is probably some coincidence but I figured I'd report it anyway. Before this I had been using the stock kernel (ACS pulled from non rooted phone, I had flashed Zedo's to get root first).

Today on your kernel with CWM I've gotten the best battery life I've ever had, even compared to before when I was undervolting. In addition I haven't been getting those huge drops in battery when restarting the phone. I realize that nothing like this should change since both are based off the stock kernel, but if anyone else experiences something similar let me know.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
Hey Chris, any chance of adding init.d support to this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I might finally flash a zip and get CWM back. I flashed a kernel with CWM so I could flash a zip to get SU and root access, but went back to a stock kernel. I've been waiting for awhile because everyone I have talked on a custom kernel has had LOS at least once. I've been on this stock kernel and haven't had LOS one time...period. At least the LOS with the circle and line through it. Funny thing is I had this issue with my 3D...don't want it again with my ET4G. The custom ROM itch is getting...which is sad because stock has been working flawless for me...but I want to be able to theme and do some other things that I can't do on a stock ROM.

Fingers crossed...

And of course I've probably jinxed myself now, lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
I feel exactly the same. Had a couple of Zedomax kernels, finally went to stock, rooted and overclocked with Tegrak. The phone has been working perfectly for almost 3 weeks, good battery life, not a single LOS. I would like CWM, but don't want to screw up what's working fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
So I odin back to stock completely then odin flashed this stock kernel to get cwr. I tried rooting using the cw su flashable zip from a different thread but I'm getting an error that's it's been aborted. Not sure what the problem may be...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
You should be ODIN this kernel over the top of what you have now. If you already have root, you may not need to flash the SU zip again, but if you do it shouldn't hurt.

What error are you getting? Did you try to ODIN the kernel again? Then flash again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
Yup all the above. Factory reset everything, odin bts system + kernel. After I odin flashed this Kernel to CWR (which is the same one but with cwr) then I tried flashing through cwr the su root zip to get root once again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Check to see if you have root. I had the same thing happen where it says it aborted but it actually installed the superuser.apk and such.bin.

I haven't tried to flash anything else with this yet, have other people been getting this aborted message with other zips, or is it only on the su.zip posted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
Ok, I'm already on the Stock EG30 Deodexed (rooted but no CWM) and decided to flash just the StockCWM5.tar.md5 since i'm already rooted.

Flashed in ODIN, everything went fine, booted (yellow triangle, no problem). Rom Manager does not show i have CWM, so i manually boot into CWM (volume up + power) and i try to do a nandroid back up and all i get are error messages all relating to E: something... can't mount SD card..

What did i do wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
I did the same thing and didn't have a problem. :confused: Maybe ODIN back to Stock Kernel and then ODIN StockCWM5.tar.md5 again?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I was already on stock kernel to begin with, and i don't want to have to start all over again and lose data and re-install from scratch...e.t.c.. :mad: Le sigh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Just ODIN stock kernel. Reboot. ODIN the StockCWM5 kernel. What will you lose? Shouldn't take you that long to do. 5-10 minutes. What data will you be using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duce HD2:
I checked I don't have root....I'll have to keep searching, thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jase33:
Dude....flash zedomax v3 kernel and it will root for you. Reboot and flash this kernel. Root will stay, you will have stock kernel & CWM5

so i have root now. using zedomax kernel. if i odin this, will i still continue to have root?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:

If you start to get LOS, you'll know why. In that case just flash this one and you should be fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Just remember crawrj has options to Odin that wont wipe your data as well as one that will fully wipe everything. I have had a rough few days here...Nexus submerged in water but saved it somehow. My USB jig should be here today or tomorrow so I can get back to some testing ...25+ on Odin count and I haven't flashed a ROM yet..Got my work done so time for some flashing fun...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Damn...my first LOS EVER. I've been using the phone for several weeks including the stock kernel that I ODINed after getting Superuser access. I decided to ODIN this kernel last night...and got my very first LOS. :( Really wish we had a root cause for them.

I was in a weird reception error that just gives a crap data signal...which ironically is right next to a Sprint Corporate repair store. :confused: I will monitor and see how things go...and hope maybe it was truly network related. But really bummed that I got one.

Anyone else have issues on this kernel?

Anyone figure out why flashing the su.zip gets an installation aborted message?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Did you have SU access before? If so, I wouldn't even flash the ZIP. I didn't and my SU access stayed in tact and worked fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
Finally took the plunge and flashed this over pulled kernel with root. Went smooth, kept root. Backup does take a bit of awhile, but no real problem. Battery running cool at 74 degrees idle. Very happy now with CWM, root and Tegrak. Next up to get rid of yellow goddamn triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Buy a jig. End of triangle.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
so we Odin the kernel/CWM, then boot into recovery - and flash SU and BB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Shameless self bump, just wanted to double check
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
No need to flash su and bb if you're already rooted. This ought to give you stock kernel with cwm. Haven't done this method, but what I get from the op/title...just gives stock pulled and cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Not rooted yet so the goal would be to have root on stock rom and kernel and have CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rickyq12:
I would suggest to root via Crawrj's Deodex or Odex method then come back on here and Odin this Stock pulled Repacked with CWM5. This is not the way I did it to get CWM5, but Chris has made it crazy easy for us to do this. Afterall, you do want stock and CWM...right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
i think i will if i do the following:

flash LoST kernel

flash bubby's stock

flash yellow fix w/stock pulled w/CWM

flash SU/BB in CWM recovery

flash Odex NoCIQ :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
Internal sd mounting is not working with this cwm5.

Can anybody package this with cwm4.0.

Internal mounting sd only works with 4.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Works fine for me in CWM5. Backups will only function off the external card (who wants a backup that you cannot get to if something happens to the device)? Installing ZIPs/etc works fine from both the internal and external sdcard.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
So I need to buy ex sd card then.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
flash LoST kernel - done

flash bubby's stock - done

flash yellow fix w/stock pulled w/CWM - done

flash SU/BB in CWM recovery - not needed

** added ** - do NAND backup on CWM

flash Odex NoCIQ :) - next
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
For backups, yeah... You can get 32GB cards for less than $40 on Amazon (perhaps cheaper elsewhere). Cards that are 16GB or less can be had for nearly nothing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Most people have come from other Android phones....how do people not have an external SD card to put in this phone? If not, it's not that expensive to buy one. You don't have to get 32 GB. I would suggest getting at least 16GB though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
this was what i was waiting for so i could dip my toes into ROOT and still be able to go all the way back to stock from the box if needed to without losing any data. Donation sent, i will donate and like it!

G'Man:

This sounds exactly like what I'm after!

However, I have been reading threads until my eyes crossed. :P I know I have read about most of those somewhere here, but in the two days I've had this phone, I've read more than my brain is capable of containing. :(

Any chance that you would have links for the appropriate threads for the components for your steps?

And, if so, would you mind posting (or PMing, I'm not picky) said links?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
1. flashed lost kernel with LOS fix

2. Flashed Bubby's pulled from stock phone

3. inserted the zImage from the stock kernel packed with CWM 5 tar file

4. booted into rom and installed the yellow triangle fix

5. rebooted into recovery

6. flashed SU and did a NAND backup + then flashed No/CIQ ODEX patch found in Koane's thread

7. installed busybox installer app from stock kernel + CWM packed thread

8. used ninjamorph to customized the rooted/stock odex rom/stock kernel/CWM 5 phone.

** If you aren't familiar with ninjamorph do some reading on it before you do anything, you can jack up your stuff really quickly. But if you get decent at it, you can start to do things like modify your phone regardless of odex/deodex etc and if you can sign apk's you can do things like install transparent widgets etc
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr Ian B:
Been on this rom for 2 days mow and working flawless with no Los.

Great work.

Ian B
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
LOL, this is a kernel with a recovery packaged into it, not a ROM. But it is good to hear that you haven't had any LOS. :D

I have only had the one....and I'm thinking...hoping it was the network. Now it's time for me to decide...custom ROM or stock odexed so I can theme....hmm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Could we please have CWM4 repackaged too?

CWM5 is useless to me because it doesn't support nand operations to internal usb storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
Purely an opinion, of course, but you're better off putting in an sdcard for backups/restores then removing it if it is slowing down your device during use.

If something happens to your device and it is damaged/unbootable/etc... your internal backup is worthless.

It's easy enough to shut down, pop an sdcard in, boot to recovery, backup, shut down (from recovery), remove the sdcard.

Again though... just my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj1jr:
So wait, if I flash this with Odin, will it unroot my phone?

I've been trying to unroot because I need to take it in to get it looked at, but can't find anything stock...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digweed4me:
when I flash this I had a super user icon but my root apps not working then i had to flash su zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I am not worried about losing the backup. That's why it's called a backup. If I lost the phone, restoring a rom would be the least of my problems.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Anyone in SoCal is welcome to use my USB Jig to reset that Odin counter and get rid of yellow triangle. Didn't even think of the ICS Launcher on stock..need to go back and thank someone

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wait, stock kernel with CWM5? ACS one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Yup, noCIQ, root, ICS theme, and rooted!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmarden:
This is a strange (in my opinion, to each their own) viewpoint on backups. Having a backup is usually the part people are worried about (in case something happens). Also, it may not be the ROM you want to restore, but all your data. If you just want to restore data. Backup via Titanium or MyBackup to wherever you want... internal, external, dropbox.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
It too seems strange to me but I have seen plenty ask for this ability. I just don't know how that would work in my normal flow
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
My response is to buy a damn SD Card... you have a smart phone, you need an sdcard... if you want your backups on the internal, move them.... but as noted a backup is pointless if you cant use it...

I did not compile, nor write ClockworkMOD, and I won't be anytime soon... not for a device I don't have. the versions that stored it on internal were ****ed up, the config was wrong, and were for a different phone. I am going to stick with as close to official as I can, until koush gives me a better version to work with... otherwise, asking the same question 10 times is not gonna change the answer...
