Thanks:

-Drockstar for CWM for the Epic

-Koush for CWM

-Team Win for the recovery injector

Info

This is a zip to restore CWM from TWRP if you flashed TWRP and you hate it or if a kernel you like has TWRP and you prefer CWM.

This has been tested flashing using TWRP while on ICS.

I am not responsible for anything that happens s a result of flashing this.

Make sure "Inject TWRP" is unchecked before flashing.

So say someone has mistakenly let rom manager flash the bml cwm, could they use this to restore to the mtd cwm? Just a question, I didn't do that, just would like to know bcuz I know a few people on here have done that in the past not knowing better...
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
probably not

[Epic 4G Android Development] styles420:
I thought that rom manager used a temp-boot copy, so flashing it wouldn't overwrite the recovery that you access from the three finger boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flastnoles11:
Alls I know is a few people have soft bricked their phone by making that mistake with rom manager...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonarchist:
I have backups that I made using CWM, as well as backups made using TWRP, + these ALL work..........and I have used the kexec temp CWM from the CM Team w/ good results as well...............yes we all have our preferences as to which recovery to use + why, but *this* Recovery Restore is now indispensable to me going forward............... + it's just awesome having the option to switch our recovery direct from TWRP.

I' am not able to restore CWM in place of TWRP. I could not post here earlier owing to the issue of 10 posts and i have crossed it just a while ago on another post on the same issue.

TWRP gives me an error message "unknown md5 error" for any zip file that i try to flash and hence i' am now stuck with ROM (MIUI V4) and the Kernel (Nyan Colonel). Due to the same error i' am unable to flash the CWM restore too. Is there any other way that i could restore CWM other than going back to stock with ODIN ?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] didhiy:
there is an option on TWRP to skip md5 check, just try to disabling md5 check..
[Epic 4G Android Development] yaji63:
well everything is unchecked and inspite of it i get this error. This error comes up for each and every zip file and hence no flashing is possible

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticalAnalogy:
Greetings! I've recently acquired an unwanted Motrola Atrix 4G and I'm wanting to upgrade it to the latest version of Android. Here's the tricky part - it's a Canadian (BELL) phone with an inactive SIM, and I'm not too sure what has actually been installed on it.

As far as I can tell, the previous user has 'Greyblurred' the device (See Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1070076) and flashed it with the custom SBF linked in the thread.

How would I go about updating the phone to Gingerbread? Is an OTA update possible without bricking it?

I should mention that this is my first smart phone, though I quite familiar with the terminology and it's applications. Just a nudge in the right direction would be fantastic.

Here's the system information, if it's of any help:

System Version: Version 4.2.1.1.MB860.Retail - Blurred
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: N_01.92.00R
Motorola Webtop Version: OSHWT_U1_6.54.0
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
e13392@zch68lnxdroid46 #1
SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 28 22:58:25 CST 2011
Build Number: OLYEM_U4_2.1.1 - GreyBlurred

Thank you kindly in advance - any help is appreciated!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticalAnalogy:
So it's been almost a year and I figured I'd give this a bump rather than create a new thread. Does anyone have even a whiff of a suggestion? Thank you kindly, in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Okay, I must say I'm quite surprised. Even after almost a year you still haven't been able to research this on your own?

This forum is crammed with various detailed tutorials and guides, that should be enough to get anyone started...

The most obvious first step would be to determine if the phone shows "Unlocked" while booting and/or has a custom recovery installed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SymbioticalAnalogy:
The phone does not say unlocked. However, it does have CWM installed.

I have read through every tutorial. The issue isn't determining how to get the phone flashed to a newer ROM, it's the fact that it has a unique SBF's on it, and I am unable to receive OTA updates (though that's obvious). I'm wanting to simply upgrade it to the newest version without bricking it.

Since it dealt with flashing an SBF that has since been unsupported, I figured I should ask first, before going ahead and fiddling on my own.

Also, it being a BELL model it all the more frustrating!

(And, I am unable to take it to a BELL service store/send it in etc. since I am in Sweden.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
You have CWM. You have absolutely no need to touch a SBF ever again.

Just flash a ROM through CWM. There is no way to brick the phone that way.

All CWM-flashable ROMs work on all devices.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Shoebear:
I'm sure many of you are familiar with Android's TItanium Backup, which allows you to backup and restore applications+data at a later date.

I have already gone through with a hard reset, and backed up my phone using dd in Linux in case something went wrong.

I'm wondering if there is a way to restore application data to how it was before the reset? Some applications and games do not have "accounts", so a lot of data is stored locally.
[LG Optimus 2x] cloud4822:
ROM : Gueste2X v3.2 Hybrid Revolution

Kernel :3.0.30-Etana_stock_ds_otf (just flashed)

Seems it keep on charging, sometimes battery status showed 88%, 92% 96%,98%,

100% but jump down again and status is keep charging whole the night.

(The hp & battery are not hot)

Please advice, is the kernel not compatible with this rom? I flashed this kernel without wipe data/wipe davilk.
[LG Optimus 2x] skylinegt77:
i am using the exact same kernel and the exact same rom as you, so try reflashing coz mines working like a charm ^^

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

oh, dude, i just noticed, ur using etana ds version, ds battery drivers make your phone give you funky readings, your battery can also go up without being chanrged XD so my advice is use the normal battery driver version of etana which is what i use ^^

Great, but your explanation not help so much. Could you give more details?

How it works with CWM installed?

Have you a dual boot?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jeff7424:
Okay, you need CWM for this.

-boot into CWM recovery

-flash the zip, the file explorer will start.

It can do anything like other file explorers (cut, copy, paste, rename, create new folder, etc.) You don't need dual boot for this.

[HTC Amaze 4G] StockDC2:
Hello, I am finally making the jump from my Inspire to an Amaze and was wondering if there is anything that I should look for. I know to check the water damage sensors (1 on battery, 1 behind battery, anywhere else?), void sticker (is there just 1?) and to make sure that all buttons work but is there anything else that I should check?

Thanks so much. Can't wait to become a part of the community!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
What you should really be careful about is I've seen a few people post about buying phones on craigslist and in particular this phone that have bought and and when they use it they get the message bad imei which means it was reported stolen and you can't use it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
Meet at a Tmobile's store and make sure that it is not reported stolen.

Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Former T-Mo Rep. I'll tell you EXACTLY what to look for.

As Xndabox said, meet at a local T-Mo store.

As Ickedmel said, have them check the IMEI to make sure it is not blacklisted.

Make sure it is not water damaged, make a test call/message. have someone call you to test the speakers out. put it on loudspeaker.

Pop out the battery and put it in. After you do so, hold the volume down and power button together. See if it says ***Locked*** or ***Unlocked*** or ***Relocked***

If it says ***Locked***, he never unlocked the bootloader.

If it says ***Unlocked***, he unlocked the bootloader. (Voids warranty)

If it says ***Relocked***, he unlocked the bootloader and relocked it. (Voids warranty)

Make sure it reads a memory card.

Test out all parts of the touchscreen. Make sure it works.

That's all I can think of lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] StockDC2:
All Amazing (see what I did there?) responses, especially the one from hasoon2000.

Can someone quickly check their phone and tell me how many water damage indicators there are and their locations? Also, how many "void" stickers there are (and their locations) would be super helpful as well.

If the phone is blacklisted, will I be able to make a call? Unfortunately, I don't live near a T-Mobile store. I was planning on calling 611 if the seller is patient enough :p.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Call customer care (611) and ask them to run an IMEI check on the Amaze. I would check the liquid damage indicator, but my phone is in my car and I'm playing xbox =D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
you could always borrow someones tmobile simcard and use it to test the phone...

hasoon, do you play battlefield 3?
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Not necessarily. Sometimes it can take a while for it to be blacklisted, but it will show up in the system if it was reported stolen/lost.

I don't actually. I'm playing on Deus Ex right now. It's so fun! I play Black Ops though on live.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
what do you play on xbox?
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
How much are you buying it for? I got mine a while back(January) off of CL for around 275 I think - it should be cheaper than that by now, but if the price is too good to be true.. be skeptical(unless you can tell they are just an idiot).

If they have the box and original accessories it is probably pretty safe to say they didn't steal it(unless they work at tmobile) - before you even meet them ask if they have that stuff and can include it.

If you can't meet at tmobile, ask why they are selling it - if they said they bought a new phone ask if you can use their simcard to test it - if they say they don't have a t-mobile sim card(and they didn't mention switching carriers before) - be skeptical.

As long as it boots and everything appears to be working the only thing you need to watch out for is a stolen phone- but some questions and common sense(and maybe a phone call to tmobile) should be able to avoid buying a stolen phone. Whether the bootloader is locked, relocked or any of that really doesn't matter, you aren't going to have any warranty except on the parts of the phone anyways.. as long as it boots and you can get to the bootloader you're golden for anything you want to do :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] falconeyedtiger:
Oh god, it was such a pain getting my phone off craigslist - I don't know if it's just LA, but here's what I learned about people you should avoid: if you call and text about the phone and they reply "which phone?" it's best to avoid. Also, if it sounds a bit like an ad, search the phone number on clist - if it shows up multiple times all under different names, avoid - the different names are just code words referring to a (most likely) stolen item. If you call and ask them if it's stolen and they hang up, it's probably stolen. If they're selling a half dozen new ones, but demand meeting at a rite-aid in a ghetto part of town, it's probably stolen. If they sound like they're on drugs on the phone, that's why they're selling their phone.

Other than the avoid list I just put up, hasoon covered everything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] StockDC2:
Hmm, I'm really worried about this part. Isn't the warranty attached to the phone? I thought that as long as the phone is registered under your name, you'd take on the remainder of the warranty?

Thanks so much everyone for your great replies. They've all been nothing but helpful!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
By the way, you should know that there is actually 3 water damage indicators. One on the side of the battery compartment, one on the battery, and another one inside the phone. I'll show you what I mean.

See that white circle inside the phone? That's it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeartFan40:
This is great advice. Why chance it, when you can have it verified at a TMobile store. Its not worth the risk. Craigslist is notorious for scams. If the seller isn't willing to go to a store, walk away from the deal. ;)

If it turns out to be legit, inspect the phone thouroughly. Check for dead pixels, check the screws to make sure it wasn't taken apart, etc. Question the battery life too.

Just my two cents. Hate to see people get ripped off. Sometimes people are so excited, they totally forget these things. lol

[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
Good job OP! Welcome to the forum. Glad to hear the great news. Good job protecting yourself and hopefully you enjoy your Amaze to the fullest. Look in the accessories thread for extra battery options. Sucks that some idiot is trying to rip people off out there. :D

Over 10000!!! You bet I am.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
To the OP, rather than quote your whole message.. battery life "stock" might suck, but there is a ton you can do about it. Roms you can flash(gingerbread) that remove bloat and crap that drains the battery. Battery would improve. I've made threads on this, but so have many others, just gotta research. You could jump to once care sandwich! Totally worth it.. would take a lot of research on your part, but life with screen OFF is amazing, but as with any phone, the more you do.. but with some work I get at least 20 hours out of normal use, and I can kill it in 12 or less if I'm TRYING to, but I doubt you use it THAT heavily.

Anyways, do some looking around, there is a ton you can do to make it better of you're willing to take the time to learn and tinker. Welcome to the amaze :) you now have awesomesauce in your pocket!
[HTC Amaze 4G] sryan1983:
I actually picked up an Amaze last night from Craigslist. The phone was in great condition. The guy had practically everything except the box. He even still had the t-mobile store bag that it came from. I called customer support to ask them if there was any way I could check the IMEI. They said that they had nothing in their system but if the phone could make a call then it was fine. I did make a call with the phone and it worked. I'm hoping that nothing comes up with it. The guy didn't seem like he needed to rip anyone off (was driving a very nice/new/expensive vehicle).

Not to mention, he did not factory reset the phone so I wrote down his gmail address (for what its worth). And his lockscreen password was his dad's birthday (so he told me) so I have that info as well (again, for what its worth).

Overall, seemed like a good experience. I'm really not concerned. I paid a bit over market value for the phone but it is in great condition.
[HTC Amaze 4G] StockDC2:
Whelp, I've already run into a problem. Every time one of the capacitive buttons on the bottom are pressed, it causes the speaker to pop. Also, the speaker pops when listening to music with headphones. Luckily, the phone is still under warranty so I'll be getting the unit replaced.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ITALIANNYC:
I dont understand why people sell on CL. Is it because they want the money faster. Selling an Amaze for 200 doesnt make sense to me when you can get at 350 on ebay.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
how does the warranty work if you didn't purchase it directly from t-mobile? just curious.

With T-Mobile, as long as you have premium handset protection, ANY phone that t-mobile has is covered when you put YOUR sim card in it =]
