I downloaded one with Nyan Kernel and it failed with Status 7. Reboot stuck at Samsung screen and Now I can not even got to CWM or recovery.

Obviously I am going to need something like CWM for MTD that I can flash in download mode to get to Recovery. Any suggestion or point to URL for that? Right now I can not to do anything
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
I don't know why that happened... but i will RE-UPLOAD the build again... (this is the one i am running now... flashed perfectly with a full wipe and a flash-over)

I tried to flash STOCK rom from twrp and it crashes every time, i flipped back to CWM and it worked, but the nyan kernel rom upload was corrupted, DO NOT USE IT...
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Well, it is i too late for me . I did and now I am stuck at Samsung Screen . I can not even go to any recovery. IS there a something I can ODIN or in download mode to flash to go to CWM recovery on phone use nanadroid to recover.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djjroc007:
Running the nyan one now. What is corrupted with it???

Didn't work with twrp, so I reflashed the previous build after rewiping everything, then had to reflash nyan5 to get the restore cwm zip to work, rebooted recovery to cwm, then flashed the new build with nyan, and all is well so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
you will need to flash back to stock from odin...

Thanks, I got it back to working from the link provided for Epic fix.. above. I guess, I will have to re-root and CWM again after that I can probably use Nandroid If I have to or try new CWM 2.61, is that right?

But I just realized hat I am on Gingerbread and RFS, right?

I had done this long time ago. So what are my steps to root and have CWM then EXT4 and eventually MTD and ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
In following sequence, flashing CM9 will give you root (no need to flash SU separately)..........Of course, you'll skip first step to Stock, but here's how I do a clean install:

ODIN wiped to EL30 stock, ota FC09 aggressively pushed in after reboot, so powered device OFF............ ODIN'd CWM5.0.2.7 (placed CWM5.0.2.7 file in 'PDA' slot ONLY, no autoreboot, hit start), when ODIN completed cycle, pulled battery for a few secs, replaced battery then 3-finger boot to CWM: flashed CM9beta3 (this modified CWM to 5.5.0.4 MTD + established ROOT).........booted to system: established data settings w/ gmail, etcetera, then powered off + 3-finger booted to CWM again: cleared caches again, flashed MIUI + miui GApps, booted to system.......from PlayStore, installed selected apps one-by-one (play store/menu/MyApps)........etcetera.

CWMv5.0.2.7 is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357655

If you want to restore your Nandroid: from CWM5.5.0.4, wipe data/factory reset (if you wish: wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache),THEN restore your Nandroid..........reboot to system............I realize there's many more ways than ONE to skin a grape, hope this helps :)

Thanks, and you are right, FC09 is pushed aggrsivley, I already have that so you are saying that I need to go back again to EL30? I show and read the link you gave me and there was qbking video for rooting GB FC09 (God bless and thanks a million to QBKING). If I do that then I should be able to use Nandroid backup of my latest MIUI and I will get all root, SU and MIUI back to way I was. Right or too simple and I am not reading it right? May be it is blessing in disgiuse but I got latest PRL and Profile. Would all that stay? BTW battery is good on this Sprint GB.

So anyone else trying new 2.6.1 with CM Kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Correct, prl + profile will stick.

Since you are currently STOCK BML, you still have to:

[1] ODIN CWM5.0.2.7 (fr link).

To get ROOT + change to MTD system:

[2] flash CM9.

To restore your Nandroid:

[3] fr CWM recovery: total wipe/factory reset, then restore Nandroid........boot to system.

[Epic 4G Android Development] BREWGIRL03:
if you look a few pages back I had the same thing happen to me with the last build. I asked you guys about why it happens to me.why I lost root CWM and TWRP . I rerooted and reflashed 6 times before I figured it out. Its the nyan5 kernal. When it changes us from CWM to TWRP it messes up the phone. We are unable to flash anything side loaded and it says that on the error. Also the fist time when I did flash nyan 5 and do not try to restore CWM it booted fine but I had the issue of the phone not hanging up after finishing a call. So I'm not a dev but I recommend not flashing nyan5 or you may have to reroot your phone. Also what kernal can we use other than nyan?. Thanks so much for all your hard work guys.

Glad to be able to help..........ODIN's awesome, yea?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jfg69:
A little off topic, but.. is there an advantage to TWRP vs CWM? Also, I have not used anything with TWRP, but I went to restore my nandroid after flashing this last 2.6.1 and its giving me a hash error. I WAS able to revert back to an older version, but that kind of negates the whole 2.6.1 thing. Has anyone else had this issue in CWM 5.5.0.4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Did you see, that it was Nyan Beta something called Borg...according darklichny. That did me in. I wish I knew then I would have done 2.6.1 CM version first.

I do like TWRP because I can navigate better and has file manager as well with sort option. You can install multiple zips as well.

I am not sure what developer have to do in zip file of ROM to work with TWRP all the time. May be TWRP needs to be enhanced to work with all zip files of ROMs like CWM.

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Isn't 2.6.1 has something regarding corrected 3G downloading according to changelog?? OR that's something else?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BREWGIRL03:
Marc I did follow your direction to a T and every time I tried to flash your restore cWM zip I got failed could not use or read side loaded zip. Then after that I would reboot and loose both TWRP AND CWM and I was stuck on Samsung screen. This happens with the nyan 5.

after a clean install of the stock kernel version, i tried flashing both nyan and shadow through cwm. i couldnt get past the boot animation. it booted fine with the stock kernel, and everything was working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
I have used Marcs restore cwm couple of times when zip will not get installed with TWRP and I ahve seen warning or error regarding "side loaded" but it has still worked fine. Subsequent re-boot will be in CWM. My issue was with new 2.6.1 with Nyan.
[Epic 4G Android Development] beltsnspoons:
So, then to put it correctly the problem YOU are having is with TWRP and not nyan. I've been using nyan since its inception and still believe it to be the best kernel option for ics roms atm. I have had problems with TWRP tho. Especially when restoring MIUI nandroids. TWRP and MIUI just don't get along well for some reason. I've soft bricked and had to odin quite a few times with TWRP. So now I always use the cwm fix when creating or restoring nandroids, or with anything related to MIUI. Its a shame because TWRP is faster, easier to use, and has more features than cwm. But cwm is reliable, so when it comes to nandroids, I always use it.

The point I guess I'm trying to make to you brewgirl, is that you need to refine your statement. Think about what you're saying before you post it. You didn't have a problem with the kernel, you had a problem with recovery. As far as I can tell from the info you provided you never even got the rom up n running to test the kernel. So try not to inadvertantly trash someones hard work when you yourself admit that you're not a dev and don't fully understand what has even happened. Do you know what side loaded means??

+I've never had a single problem changing twrp to cwm.

1. Choose install on twrp and navigate to the cwm fix file and select it.

2. MAKE SURE REINJECT TWRP AFTER INSTALL IS UNCHECKED

3. Flash file

4. Reboot recovery

5. Enjoy cwm
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
Hells Yeah, the devs are gr8 on MIUI! :) ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I've tested the cwm restorer many times with no issue.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darklichny:
Same, with the exception of when i used an unreleased BETA version of the nyan kernel, I've also had no problems with the twrp-to-cwm restore...

I did notice, however that the new 2.6.1 MIUI does NOT like the nyan v5... the first time i flashed, it bootlooped...

I would recommend waiting and just stick with the stock kernel for now... i will look into this later tonight...
[Epic 4G Android Development] FrankyFiggz27:
i was running the Option 1 build posted yesterday. Everything was working fine except when i long-pressed the power button, it would just do an automatic hard reboot. No power menu. weird. i tried reflashing but flashed the option 2 by accident, so now i'm without a phone for the day lol. i've never had to go back to stock with odin more than i have in the past 24 hours. thanks for option 1 though..very cool. and can't wait for working toolbox
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdee323:
Glad im not the only one. Btw, i noticed the stock kernel is dated from feb. Which version of cm9 are you using as the base?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BREWGIRL03:
I have used nyan before too. I'm just saying with the last build of miui before 2.6.1 I tried nyan 5 with it. It gave me TWRP and when I tried to restore with marc s zip it gave me the error and failed. Then tried to reboot and I was stuck on Samsung screen. Now I'm afraid it will happen again on 2.6.1 so I don't want to use it. Did anyone else have an issue on last build.

Hey I'm not trashing anyone's work. I used nyan before on cm9 and also Marcs roms are excellent some of my favorites. And yes I did get it up and running with TWRP. when I tried to restore is when I had the issue. Maybe I did mis speak I should have said TWRP and nyan 5 don't work good together on the last build. I don't know on this new build because I don't want to have to reroot. Please don't take offence to my comments I was just trying to tell others to be careful and to see if others were having the same issue. Just to set this strait now I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER KERNAL OR ROM OF MARCS EVER.

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
Maybe opening the SuperUser app may also reveal whether or not your are rooted... but try clearing app data for terminal emulator and/or using recovery to fix permissions - one or both of those steps may fix the force close issue.

You can also connect to your computer and use "adb shell" to test in the same manner as with terminal emulator (by entering "su" on the command prompt in the shell)
