Borked? Wasn't working correctly?

This one doesn't work at all with internal, whereas cwm4 was working perfectly.

Let me guess, mounting USB also requires an external sd card.

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

I wouldn't use this particular kernel if I were you.

I use two kernels for all my flashing/running business:

1) Original cwm4 ACS recovery, for flashing and backups,

2) Bubby's stock pulled kernel - for everyday use.

This combinations allows me to do no other single kernel can -

run completely stock (bubby's)

be able to backup/restore to usb storage (cwm4).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You do realize you can't have two kernels. When you flash the cwm4 kernel overtop the stock kernel you are erasing the stock kernel with the kernel that has cwm4. You are not running them both side by side. So you are running the same thing that Chris is providing except an older version of CWM and compiled from stock source code. This version is made from the completely stock pulled kernel only adding in CWM. Now for the backup issue I have to agree with Chris. Yes ideally you would like to have the option to choose which partition you wanted to backup to. But in the absence of that choice, backing up to the sdcard is the logical option. Because if you bake your phone you will not be able to restore to a replacement phone.

However, there is something wrong with the new version as you can't get into cwm. I am sure Chris will get that worked out soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
Thanks. Guess you aren't running either rooted?

Is the CWM4 file "acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
That's the one.

They also provide su.zip to flash in the same thread, I think.

So flash that one first, then su zip, then you can flash stock pulled kernel, reboot and install busybox from stericson from the market.

Update profile after rebooting (I'm not sure if it's necessary, but I do that, I never get LOS).

Then whenever you need to do cwm operations, you just flash cwm4 kernel, then back to stock pulled.

It's kind of a pain in the ass, but it works.

EDIT: I wish this kernel was completely stock. Then you could put a kernel into a flashable from recovery .zip. Apparently, you can flash a kernel+recovery from recovery. Then one wouldn't even need to use odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I think he is just saying he odin's in the CWM4 with its kernel when he need to backup/restore/install, and when that is done, he odin's back the stock kernel/recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Koush has mentioned adding further support for internal cards... in the mean time quit mucking up my thread with the same useless question... when koush adds it, I will...

Ill try to get this fixed today....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Thanks.

One more question. The USB mounting, does that only work with external as well?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Awesome, thanks! Is it possible to post a flashable zip in addition to the TAR once you get it sorted? Im still using original version of this kernel and would love to be able to just flash the update from CWM. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interhawk1:
ok so i flashed this kernel on top of starburst 1.7 and now i can't press vol down and power bottom to enter recovery and i can't press vol up and power to enter download mode.... can someone help me out please?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
As stated in the last page or so.... I broke it... will try to fix today..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yeah I get that now. Still don't see the point though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interhawk1:
ok thanks ill patiently wait
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Now you need to buy a usb jig or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
I didn't read your post completely... the kernel should not affect download mode... its not part of the kernel...

Pull the battery then try powering on in dl mode
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] interhawk1:
Is someway I can use terminal on my phone to flash a command like in the old evo 4g days?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:
quick question in flashing CWM5.

I am rooted deoxed. How do i go about flashing CWM?

When i download from ACS on my pc, it downloads to temp internet file, and when i go to save it zips it up to a zip file.

so when i go to odin the cwm5 it doesn't see the zip file. I've tried to change the file name, but that doesn't work.

Any advice for this poor soul?

Thanks guys!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Have you tried a different browser... I use Chrome with no issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

OK....with everyone's help on XDA, i was able to get root and CWM (thanks guys, couldn't have done it without all of your help).

But my last stupid question of the day is how do i access clockworkmod on my phone. I tried to power up and volume and all that did was freeze my phone with the yellow exclamation symbol.

I would like to flash some mods but can't get into recovery!

Again, thanks for all the help on here XDA!!!! I wanted thank you for all you guys do...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Wait on update. There's an issue with the current kernel. Been said earlier including by the dev Chris.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
Not sure if this will work for you, but if you're waiting you can (if you are rooted) install "Quick Boot" from the android market, it's free. Using that you can select recover and the phone will automatically reboot into recovery (not sure if the current issue would prevent this from working properly). Otherwise, you can wait for the fixed filed to get uploaded by Chris. Or look for the previous file which has the older version of CWM maybe someone can send it to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] k1ngju571n:
I tried this method. Phone wouldn't go past boot screen at all. I tried pulling the battery about 15 different times and it would still hang on the boot screen when just powering the phone on. Had to Odin the kernel back on it before it worked again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
Same thing happened to me, guess I'll have to wait for this to be fixed before I try this kernel again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Why not try the original version? There was nothing wrong with the kernel or cwm, so other than needing to have the latest and greatest what's missing?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bayviewplace:
Where can I get the original version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Is it not on the ACS site? If not and OP doesn't mind I think it's small enough to upload in the thread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
cant see why he would mind.. Its just an older version of his stuff or can you PM it to me if you dont feel comfortable uploading... thnx
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
go ahead until i have time to get it fixed..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
What is original version number? I may have it. Also, doesn't LoSt kernel include recovery or am I mixed up? Chris I think I have every version I tested for you...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
Working zip file old version

Removed link per Chris's request.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
Thank you and then, I can flash the su.zip normally? Can't wait till Chris gets the fix out! Wooing, thanks and great job Chris :)..

wait this is if i had CWM before?... darn it, i dont lol. .tar please?

also um.. another dumb question, is su suppose to be in /system/xbin or /sbin ?

Due to when i flashed the ACSrootish5.. i tried to update the script that superuser asks to be updated, and It tells me, that is in the wrong spot.. when i flash the Su.zip that chris provided, would it fix this problem? And will it remove the previous root, and afix the correct one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bayviewplace:
Thanks appreciate it, but I need the tar if possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
You can use crawrj's odexed or deodexed with root and Busybox then Odin any kernel tar you want
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Any word on if Chris will have the updated .zip out today?! That would be sweet!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:
yes, could anyone help with posting the tar...thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
I would flash Chris's Lostkernel and then flash the Zip back that I posted. Sorry I don't have the Tar file. If you flash the lostkernel you will get CWM back then be able to flash zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
I tried to upload it, but XDA wouldn't let me upload the file. I think because it's a .MD5 file?

The "StockCWM5.tar.md5" that Chris previously posted:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8STR6QM9

(no need to rename, odin will recognize the file)

Edit: I uploaded it to megaupload and posted the link (above) (if that's okay, if it's not someone tell me and I will remove the link).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdizzle316:
Will this version of CWM give me the ability to boot into recovery? It looks very similar to the one originally posted in the OP
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JSnively:
The version Above is the original working version until Chris puts out a fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Same here... Know why my Android OS would read 45% and higher?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Possibly a rogue app running in the background.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
How can I find out? What exactly would a rogue app be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkmx2000:
What happened to the kernel? It will not let me boot into recovery for some reason.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
Check the pages before this one, Chris will have a fix soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] niv3d:
Check page 26 half way down if you want the .zip that worked before
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Eazail70x7:
Is this safe to flash? I don't want to bork my phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
The one on "page 26" should since its the original file for this thread. It's the new version of CWM version that is causing issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
Are you speaking of the Tar version? or the CWM flashable zip that was posted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
This .tar file that you posted doesn't work :/, no CWM at all. same freezing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Any update on progress for the fix, Chris?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Why do you or others keep asking for an update? Devs hate it, if it had been weeks...then maybe, but give the man a few days to work his magic...geesh.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
The percentage will depend on how you're using the phone. If you don't use it much, android os will be a higher percentage, just because nothing else is using up the battery. If you get 45% while also using the phone heavily, then something's wrong, and you need to look at what's running. Today, for example, with light use my android os is 25%. I used the phone lightly today, after 8+ hours still have 50% left.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
It isn't a problem. Just wanted to make sure people were aware of the changes. Although my personal preference would be power for enter and soft back for back.

Hey Chris is there any chance we could get this updated with the new 5.0.2.7 version that is now in rom manager? It adds the option for both internal and external storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
For reference I am on the latest fixed ver of this kernel.

Okay, so Koush released an update to CWM (5.0.2.7) so I decided to flash it from within Rom Manger. Everything worked fine and when I choose reboot into recovery from with Rom Manager it reboots, gives Samsung logo, shows little Android man install graphic for a few seconds, and then loads CWM v5.0.2.7. Awesome.

However, if I try to get to recovery through normal means, like reboot and then volume-up, or through Quickboot, it will reboot, Samsung logo, NO little android man, load CWM v5.0.2.6.

Oooooo weeeeeee, what up with that? What up with that?

Do I have 2 separate versions of CWM installed now? Why? How? Help??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
rom manager doesnt actually install the recovery.. it uses fake flash
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
So is it possible to create a stock kernel that redirects to the rom manager version? And if not can you update your kernel with the 5.0.2.7 version?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Can you still use all the normal functionality of CWM (flash, backup, etc) from within this "fake flash" CWM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yes but download and use this kernel instead. With the rom manager version you can only get to it from rom manager. You can use the vup + power to access it. So flash the newest file from Chris and you will get the same cwm with the ability to boot into cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wburbage:
Is there a way to get root access without going through odin or flashing a new kernel/rom? Everything is running so well with this kernel that I want to stick with it but also want root. So the least amount of change I can throw on it the better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
You lose nothing in your rom by flashing a kernel packed with recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drivinfast247:
Im gonna try this out. Ever since I rooted, Ive tried EVERY SINGLE KERNAL available, but I still get LOS at least 3 times a day. It is very very very annoying. Hopefully this works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wburbage:
Are there any other stock kernels that come with cwm and root? I have this kernel loaded but I'm missing root and want to remove some of the preinstalled apps (the music app is causing all sorts of issues with the Ford Sync bluetooth).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
If you have the kernel in the OP all you need to do is install super user from zip or market and busy box and you can do that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wburbage:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot later tonight.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
So koush just tweeted his official CWM recovery kernel has been released by him for ET4G. What is difference between that and this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darren.wlsn1:
i think its more stable, i lost all my backups with 23 build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
They are the same in function but not in accessing it. Both are using 5.0.2.7 and work the same when you are in it. The difference is that you can only access the rom manager cwm from rom manager. You can't boot into cwm. And with this you can boot into cwm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
You sure we're talking about the same thing? I know he released support for ET4G a little bit ago, but he just released his own kernel with it today.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Oh probably not. Sorry I was thinking of the rom manager support. Where is the kernel? I will test it out.

Rename to zImage and stick it in the zip file posted earlier or put it in a tar and flash with odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caseykelly:
hey Crawrj i tested it again and it seems that the power button is back by default but if you enable the back menu button by pressing vol up repeatedly then the power button will default as enter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Got it. That makes me feel better. Last night I swore I swore I was hitting power to enter and when I went back into cwm enter was back. I thought I had lost my mind. Didn't realize how I turned that on. Thanks for the info.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
well i didnt make the kernel, its stock.. i only changed the initramfs..

which means your LoS would have happened regardless of kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
also updated the initramfs with Koush's suggestions.. only difference is the stock recovery doesnt exist at all in this one, because of space limitations with a repack...

Uploading now..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todivefor:
I see Clockworkmod is now at 5.0.2.7. I guess there is now way to maintain this without a new kernel update? Koush also has an equivalent kernel to this (http://t.co/2LRpfmZ0). What is the difference other than i probably contains CM 5.0.2.7?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adma84:
per koush, they go together on a Sammy device

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8296-gui...rkmod-recovery-into-samsunginitramfs-devices/

That's annoying :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Chris, usually I pick up most of this technical speak...but Samsung seems to have made this whole kernel/recovery thing more complicated than what I'm used to coming from HTC phones.

So the update that you made last night...

1. Does it still contain a stock kernel?

2. Does it contain Koush's official recovery for ET4G?

The reason for the two questions above is you say the stock recovery doesn't exist...that confuses me. Didn't Koush update his recovery? Wouldn't that be included with this update? Just trying to better understand how I get to stock kernel with the most recent up to date official recovery.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shoulon:
By stock he meant the original recovery. Usually we can leave the original and have cwm both in the kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
so does this not have recovery at all then? or does it have the latest 5.0.2.7 cwm?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:
Yeah, that doesn't clear it up for me. I just want to know, does the latest update have stock kernel and Koush's latest official recovery for ET4G? Guess that question puts it in the simplest format. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
Yes it does.. my update in op says I changed to 5.0.2.7
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maddoggin:
