nub questions:

When I install the Samsung USB drivers do I need the phone connected to my PC at the same time, or does it not matter?

Am I running the .bat file from my desktop, or from the phone on the sd card somehow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
yes on the drivers.....and make sure it is in debugging...... bat from the desktop.....

Bricked?

Originally rooted my Epic using one click root exploit v2.5.5. Upgraded to CWMV 3.0.0.5 and after it changed the file system to ext4 it wont boot up. It sits at the Samsung Mobile screen. I tried a restore but still no luck.

Never even got the chance to upload a rom, but I can still get into the CM menu screen though. I also never even got the chance to update to DK28, I'm still on Sprint's 2.1

Oh, and any attempts to recover from a different zip file have come up aborted telling me that since I have CWMV 3.0 I need to switch to Edify scripting. I'm a noob and now a noob with no working phone.

Please HELP!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Heelfan71:
I keep getting stuck at Samsung screen also. I thought you have to do the DK28 upgrade first through Odin, then run the One Click Root? Once I do that, I go into recover and it converts to EXT4 and once that is finished I reboot and that is where I get stuck on the Samsung screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Pick a rom and flash it....
[Epic 4G Android Development] Top Nurse:
If it hangs at the sgs screen simply pull your battery and 3 finger your way back into cwm 3.x.x. Then flash Bonsai or one of the other ext 4 compatible roms. Reboot and do a data restore.

Would really be nice if a update.zip would be released for this one that could load thru CW 2.5.1.

recovery.img file?

Hi all

I am wanting to try the method of using ROM Manager to put CWM 3 on my phone. I have EXT4 already running with midNight 2.9.

I figured I'd give the ROM mgr process a shot, if that doesn't work I'll need to Odin to DK28, then use one click root to cwm3.

Anyhow, is there a recovery.img file for epic available?? It is used in the process outlined here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/

Thank you, for everything

I'd also love to know the if/elif commands in Edify
[Epic 4G Android Development] tfried2001:
Every place I've looked that talks about the CWM 3.0.0.5 upgrade process, also talks about your factory ROM no longer being bootable due to its RFS formatting. Before running the CWM 3.0.0.5 make sure you find and pre-copy to your SD card a ROM/kernel that is EXT4 compatible. That's how you're able to load your phone OS after the CWM upgrade/conversion. I would suggest researching Odin to get you back to square one, that's what I have used after realizing that the Clockwork ROM I wanted o use doesn't have 4g worked in to it yet.

Good luck!

I am having an issue. Doing everything step by step and i am able to install CW3.0 but once i try to reboot it brings up the samsung logo and it doesn't turn on. So then i have to get odin and redo everything from beginning (2.1 to 2.2 and over to cw 3.0) did this twice and same thing happens. any suggestions ?

Thanks

What rom are you trying to flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jed Dignazio:
Are we supposed to convert the sd card manually to EXT4 also or does this do it? Or is that even necessary?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Poryhack:
The SD card has to stay FAT, this only only for the internal storage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] IMPuLSe EX:
I keep getting phone is not connected.. I think my usb ports fuxd up 'cause I kept on attempting ext4.. Well at least I had it for a while. :l

I've tried unstalling and installing firion 64 bit driver for usb.

I've tried different USB ports..

I've tried redownloading the oneclick.

I haven't tried another cable, though this cable has worked for me before.. I don't see why it wouldn't work now.

EDIT: I did a system restore to a date when it was working, and that did the trick. :]

hey all i have a stock epic. tried running this and it says it has run succesfully, then hit any key to continue. At this point CMD closes and upon installing quickboot when i enter recovery its stock not CWM. i hasve downloaded everything in OP, am i missing something? do i need SDK installed or something. any help would be appreciated, its as if i have temp root. thanks in advance.

thanks a bunch. I'm now trying it. Cant wait to see the smoothness of ext4 system. OP, you rock!

I plan to go to the Bonsai ROM w/ EXT, but want to retain 2.5.1.2 for flashing flexibility.

I'm currently on 2.5.1.0. I was looking for an ext converter, as well as 2.5.1.2, but no joy.

Will someone be kind enough to please point the way? Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
so we can leave the sd card in while flashing to cwm 3.0. and it wont mess it up right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hardrock121:
i have seen this happen before but dont know how it got resolved then..

basically after i run the bat script to install the cwm .. it sits on the adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and relogin.

and nothing happens for a long time..

last time this happened when i installed cwm 2.5 and it somehow automatically started working after i messed around with the phone connected and pressed some buttons.. now its happening again and not sure what to do.. any ideas?

i think its the stupid windows firewall or Microsoft essentials which is interfering..any one else see this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] snovvman:
Now that 3.0.0.5 is on and I flashed Bonsai, is it possible to still have 2.5.1.0 or 2.5.1.2 available? On my Evo, I am keeping 2.5.x to maintain compatibility with older flashable packages. I presume if there is something I wanted to flash that is not edified, I will still need 2.5.x?

If so, how?

Many thanks.

I doubt it's possible but can i use ADB wireless to flash this? I have my girl's (and a few others) Evo drivers on my PC and it's a pain to uninstall and reinstall every time I plug a different phone in. Plus, I enjoy playing around with my old Hero as well. ADB Wireless get's me around this but what about for this type of mod?

and the answer is NO. I figured it wouldn't. Too impatient to wait on an answer, and tried it myself. One day I WILL brick a phone due to impatience. ;-)

Okay, so running this will boot your phone into cwm3 even if you have an older version (cwm 2.5.1.2) and a ROM installed?

Any way to have this as a flashable .zip?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Running this will just make your system ext.. Then you have to boot into clockwork like you would then it will convert your file system and backup then you will be in orange new clockwork.
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Okay, I get it now. Having a ROM and root (not cwm3) won't affect it.

This is basically just an update for cwm and gives me ext4, right?

One question though. The first time I boot into cwm3, should I flash a new ROM or will it not matter?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullet2300:
Anyone know a way to remove the exchange security with this version of cw? On 2.5 I was able to flash a zip from my sd card that removed it, but with cw 3 it says that feature was removed and I need to use edify to create packages, but I am not sure how to do that or what it means..
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
That same zip needs to be converted to edify....there is a tool and thread where some have already been done...HERE is the link for the requests...look on his page he may have already converted it...

Pull the sdcard, and reboot into recovery ...but do it this way,

1. Pull sd, and put it back in.

2. Choose "reboot to system" or whatever it is.

3. IMMEDIATELY following that, hold the 3 buttons to go right back into recovery. Do not choose "reboot recovery" from advanced. This method should work.

Having an issue after flashing the new kernal. During the boot animation, I get the stock "Android" text flashing it and out while it's booting, then the phone boots and freezes. I had this problem once before with Bonzai rom when it flashed the kernal. A quick reflash fixed the problem but it's not working this time. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] abmcbride85:
Just tried this on EB13. Everything seems to work but the boot screen animation has a android logo flashing over the galaxy s logo... is that supposed to be happening? other than that boots great thanks daemon and all of the devs out there working on this..
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
Followed the steps and everything seemed to have installed properly, but my phone won't boot now. I've reflashed the kernel and it say it's installed, but once I reboot the phone...it goes from the Samsung logo to a black screen then I get the "buzz.....buzz-buzz-buzz" vibrate cycle thing. Not sure what to do now.

Flash the stock deodexed eb13 over it. The buzzing crap seems to always happen on odexed roms after the conversion.

Make sure you reflash the kernel though.

Nice work, now i just need new bonsai rom and new emotionless beast theme!!!

Question on this, can i update to the new eb13 modem.

Can i one click root over the old dk28 ext to this without that compatible kernal you posted.

BTW did u get any sleep last night, you are working your ass off on updating everything to EB13. ;)

And i would like to say great job and appreciate all your hard work!! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I did get stuck on the Samsung screen before I had a chance to install the kernel.

Edit: Reinstalled E13 Rom then re-flashed CMW3 but this time I flashed the kernel before I restarted.

First thing I notice on the 2nd go around is the boot screen had this android logo flashing on it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niv3d:
This is great! Thanks so much Dameon! A few questions however... if I'm already rooted on eb13 how would I go about converting to EXT 4? Also when and if I convert will I be able to run the eb13 rom or will I have to flash a new rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
had the buzzing..... should i after oden one click root with 2.5.5. then put on your rom then do the new 3.0.0.6 confeversion or can i skip the 255 step and oden use this version flash your rom and kernel?
[Epic 4G Android Development] usagi111:
I got the buzzing too...dunno what went wrong, I started from stock EB13..*sigh*, guess I'll try the new CW 2.5.5 root for EB13 and wait...
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
This has been explained back a page or 2...

Run this to convert.....yes you can EB13 rom....
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I recommend that people don't install this until its updated. 2/22/11 11am est.

-Buzzing is created by unwanted vibration.

-Random Flashing on a Android logo on the boot screen.

-Unable to Use Keyboard or Open some if not all apps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
hmmm....I will take your word for it.....but I am having none of those issues except for the boot issue which was explained...

wait it a minute....its 11am now...is daemon updating is what you are saying???
[Epic 4G Android Development] adamw1101:
everything is working well for me. i followed the instructions. however i dont know if this helped or not but when i initially went into the new recovery i used quickboot to reboot recovery. when recovery came up it had a mounting issue with my sd i pulled the batt, 3 finger reboot and ext4 conversion process kicked right on. it finished, i flashed the kernel w/o rebooting recovery and things have been sailing since.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
The android logo flashing is his way of showing that boot animations work.

The buzzing and most likely your other issues are because you aren't using the deodexed rom. Odin to EB13 flash the deodexed rom an ext4/rfs kernel then flash this clockwork. Everyone who is doing it right is doing fine. Don't make sweeping judgments if you don't understand the process and why it is happening. It makes total sense.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tetshi:
Clearly no need to flash a deodexed rom if you go by his instructions. Nothing in the instructions at all that mention anything of using a deodexed rom actually.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Or if you read his response in the thread he addressed this and said deodex works better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I tried the ext4 cwm 3005/6 and phone just boot loops. I am at work and had no way to odin back so I restored midnight 3.0 ext4 rom backup I had on phone. So far its working fine on eb13 with oc kernel from rodderick. My other backup that was completed just before converting to ext4 was not working and also sent phone into a boot loop. I have always had bad luck using one click root with cwm3, not sure why. The all in one rom always worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Are you on the deodexed version of EB13 or the standard? Most the boot issues are because you are on an odexed rom. Also you need the kernel that supports ext-4. You have to have that downloaded so once ext4 does it's thing you install the kernel otherwise you are trying to run ext4 on an rfs system.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tetshi:
Still doesn't mean you have to be a **** to someone else for following the instructions and not reading through every single page to see if there is a problem. OP should have been updated to make people aware of those changes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I upgraded to eb13 using odin so I guess I was on an odexed rom. As for the kernel, I am running with the latest ext4/rfs 1.2 oc. I am now on midnight 3.0. Could I try the one click cwm. 3005/6 from what I am running now or do I even need to? Everything is running fine so far. How can I tell if my system is ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Sorry for coming off as a ****. I understand many people want to impulsively flash without reading the threads, but by doing a simple 1-2 page check of the most recent pages a large portion of questions and problems can be avoided. If you have a problem a majority of the time others have had the same problem and have already fixed it or are working to fix it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
If you want to stick with midnight 3.0 yes you can flash cwm 3.

If you want to move to eb13 I would make sure you get the deodexed version of eb13, that seems to be the main problem people are having. Since you have the dual kernel you should be fine in that respect.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
I am on eb13 while running midnight 3.0. It works fine. That's why I am not sure whether or not to flash the deodexed eb13.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Midnight 3.0 is a dk28 based rom. I am guessing you have EB13 as your baseband (modem). That is what I am currently running as well. CWM 3 works great in this set up so unless you really want EB13 stick with what you have for now until the next midnight comes out or until another rom you want to try comes out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] shook187:
Ok what went wrong? I ran the oneclickroot and clockwork did its thing. But now I'm stuck at the samsung screen. I still could load up clockwork by removing the battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] smark72:
Sounds good. I think that's what I will do. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
also a helpful tip if you get into boot loops and want to boot in clockwork with out turning off the phone,

You can hold volume up,volume down,camera and power,

I think people forgot about this method, i love this so much better then waiting to power of also love the reboot

volume up,power and camera i believe is reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
read the last page or two and you should find your answer. We just finished having this conversation.

If after reading pg 26-28 you are still not sure then we will need more information.
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
I made two attempts, they both failed. I read through the thread and saw other people were having problems as well. So I made my recommendation.

Deodexed is not required btw. The boot-screen flashing certainly makes sense for verification.

Flashed 2.5.5. 1 attempt, no problems. But who knows it could just be me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
It may not be required... but it is recommended by the creator.

Just an FYI. Can you give it another shot to see if that takes care of the problem? I would try to replicate your problem, but I can't at the moment.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vrojas25:
did you flash new kernal cuz mine would work with cwm3 untill i boot into recovery and flash the kernal

Hold on, what do you mean by

" Notice: DO NOT INSTALL UNLESS YOU WANT EXT4!!! "

Does this mean that if i install this, i wont have EXT4? i though the CM3 was EXT4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JettMartinez:
Geez and I thought " Notice: DO NOT INSTALL UNLESS YOU WANT EXT4!!! " was pretty darn clear.

Installing this adds CWM3 and converts you to EXT4. So if you don't want EXT4 do not install. If you want EXT4, install away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] heathmcabee:
Are there any ROMS yet that are compatible with EXT4 besides the deodexed versions of EB13 with CWM3 and EXT4? Just think I might need to wait for some roms to come out before I start into this.

[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
Are you on stock eb13 or the deodexed version? You need to be on deodexed and have flashed the rfs/ext4 compatible kernel.

Can we get some clear help as to what to do as i'm not the only one with this problem. Cwm 3.0.0.6 loads fine, when trying to load it gets stuck on the Samsung screen and the computer doesn't recognize it so I can't use ODIN. I need something flashable to fix this.

[Epic 4G Android Development] johndoehizzle:
yeah im completely stock.im downloading the deodexed version.i'm gonna flash/root with the old recovery/not cwm3.and flash the deodexed version following the dual kernel right?do i flash the kernel right after the deodexed version?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dnathan13:
If I am reading that correctly it sounds good.

To get CWM3:

1. Install deodexed version of EB13 (using the .zip from that thread) using CW 2.5

this is needed because deodexed works better with ext4 eb13 as of right now.

2. Download and install CWM3 using instructions in the OP

3. Reboot into CWM3 and let it do its thing (converts to ext4) Do not reboot until after you finish the next step

4. Flash rfs/ext4 dual kernel or flash genocide kernelf

5. Reboot

this should work. If you have problems report back with exactly what you came from and what steps you followed so we can help you better.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nubsors:
Because it didn't mention anything about needing the deodexed version of EB13 installed on the front page, I followed the instructions to the T and have major issues. The boot screen is screwed up, when it finally loads into the system, it's very instable and reboots at seemingly random times. I came from a clean flash using the Samsung Flash Utility.
