[Q] Trying to ReRoot - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to reroot my epic since some of the newer roms require clockworkmod
2.5.1.2 or higher (I am still using the RFS) and when I get the latest 2.5.5 clockworkmod from download link and root my phone all I am getting is 2.5.1.0 when check root ver. Please where is the REAL lastest clockworkmod.

That's where I was getting originally when check ver after all on my phone shows
2.5.1.0 I gonna try again, thanks.

Tried again, when boot in clockworkmod shows recovery ver 2.5.1.0 is this
the same as the ver of clockworkmod I am confused cuz I put 2.5.5 in there.

If you don't want ext4.then you have to stay at cwm version 2.5.1.0. The cwm 2.5.1.2 and. 3.0.0.5 are all for ext4

That's answer my question, I was trying to flash nebula rom 1.07 but there was
no word on ext4 so my phone was getting stock on boot I went 3 times refllashing stock I guess going back to 1.06 till figure out ext4.

can you switch recoveries in rom manager? go back to AmonRa 1.8.
ive flashed 3 different roms today using the latest cm recovery and havent had any issues that i noticed yet
yeah I can, but I want to see what the new clockwork is all about....
The new Clockwork ****ed up my Evo. I can't flash any other ROM except Fresh's. The ROM installs but then it hangs on the white Evo splash screen. I switched to AR and I still can't flash. Don't use CWM!

3.0.0.2 isn't meant to be run on your phone period. If you have hboot .97 the cwm is trying to flash using the wrong partition tables. Restore amom_ra 1.8 and it should be fine.
just got it to work.... flashed ar 1.8 then flashed 3.0.0.2 agin and now im backing it up now must have been a bad download.....
noob here I just rooted with unrevoked 3.3 all went great did a backup of nand from clockworks 3.0.0.2 worked like a champ. Should I switch to amonRa or am I ok.
Is is easy to do when clockwork is installed already.

my recommendation would be yes but use the correct amon_ra for your phone.

[Q] Does Unrevoked 3.31 with Clockworkmod 2.6 have ext4

Clockworkmod 3.0.0.2 has support for ext4 and would auto convert your filesystem when installed. (please correct me if I am wrong).
However, Unrevoked v3.31 downgraded the version of Clockworkmod being used from 3.0.0.x into 2.6.
My question is, does Clockworkmod 2.6 also have support for ext4?
Ext4 is supported on the Epic... haven't read anything for Evo...
Bobby O's Evo..
Thanks for the info rob97ss.
Anyone else? Does Clockworkmod 2.6 also have support for ext4?
As a matter of fact YES IT DOES
Ive done it as my first time rooting my phone and it worked !
Also i tried it on my Samsung Transform which also worked

[Q] stuck with clockworkmod 2.5.

so im new to android. i spent all day figuring out how to root. i used the one click root and instead of getting the 2.5.5 clockwork mod i only get 2.5.1
ive went to advanced>reboot recovery> apply sdcard:update.zip but NOTHING. it freezes. and i dont even think there is a update.zip on my sd card, i used my files and found NOTHING. hell i started to run the 1click root again. if im not mistaken for nebula rom u need dk28 which u can get from odin or from a cwm higher then 2.5.1.2 plz hlp!!! :'(
Moved to Q&A
U mite wanna check out randyshear on youtube he has a link 2 get the new CWM 3.0.0.5 for Ext4 rom

You need to do a lot more reading.
The One-click is version 2.5.5 and includes clockworkmod 2.5.1.0.
The 2.5.1.0->2.5.1.2 conversion is in the ext4 conversion thread.
Clockworkmod 3 is the new and easier way to convert to ext4. It also saves you from needing two different recoveries.
With cwm, you will never use an update.zip. You need to "install zip from sdcard"->"choose zip from sdcard" and make sure the rom is on your card.
And you can use Odin to go to dk28 or use the cwm flashable zip.
^^^^^ exactly what he said. Do more reading. There are tons of posts in here to figure out what's going on.

[Q] dk17 to dk28

how do i go about doing this? ive searched but im overwhelmed as to the amount of data im getting on how to go about doing this. everybody just says search but nothing is as clear cut as it seems.
first i rooted with the oneclick
then i used the viper rom odin with dk17 here
im trying to update to clockworkmod 3 but i think i need dI18 first so i can go to dk28 so i can get cwm3
all this so i can get nebula rom here
all because it says "NEED clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 or higher" i spent hrs trying to find 2.5.1.2 as oneclick root only has 2.5.0.0
btw where is the update.zip's at there should b 1 repository for it
Why don't you just Odin to dk28 then root with cwm3? Its hard to paste where these thongs are using tapatalk. That's prolly the easiest and best way to do it. Once you root and get clockwork mod version 3 and you boot into it , it will convert your filesystem to ext4 and.then you flash.the.rom that you want.

2.5.1.2 is in the thread that had a title like "ext4! no more rfs!!!" in the dev section.
Or get cwm3.

[Q] Need .zip for Clockwork Mod Recovery

Hey guys, Sprint ended up changing something on my account and screwing up my evo so I couldn't access 3g. Long story short, I RUU'd to get it back to stock and was able to then get 3g data back. Now it still shows S-Off, but I can't boot into recovery and the clockwork mod rom manager won't work, because it says my phone still needs to be rerooted. I was thinking since when I boot into recovery it says S-Off, i'm already rooted and I just need the zip for clockwork mod recovery and I can then go in and flash roms to my hearts content.
Does anyone know where I can find the .zip for clockwork mod recovery?
You need to flash clockworkmod through the bootloader I wouldnt recommend clockworkmod and most people don't recommend it you can find it on clockworkmod.com under recovery images and look for the EVO
Edit:also you might have to flash a superuser zip to get root back

I don't personally recommend clockworkmod to use as your recovery, but if you just need to have it, you should find it much easier to run the attached PC36IMG file from your SD card.
Also, you may need to flash (or install from SD card) through clockwork the attached superuser zip file to obtain your root permissions if you are going to continue to use stock ROM.
That works
Thank you Shorty Dogg - the pc36img.zip was exactly what i needed. I'm used to Amon Ra, but wanted to try out clockwork. Thanks again!
I would use amon RA or amon RA style supersonic recovery since u had cwm b4 I'd recommend RA style supersonic recovery 3.0.8 as it will allow you to use your cwm backups as well as RA backups and any backups you make in the future, plus it has capacitive buttons and touch screen working in recovery has a battery level option and etc check it out in development

Good luck cwm is garbage compared to RA on the evo it doesn't like to wipe properly alot of times, as well as it doesn't have the same wipe options as RA, atleast it didnt the last time I used it which has been a minute I ditched it for RA almost immediately

ok i've used the rev tool and installed superuser but says not rooted. I've installed busy box and this is what it is saying. " error. root access not detected. Your device must be rooted to install busy box. if you fell that youare recieving this message in error please go into superuser app and click on busybox installer and then click forget and restart this app." but it is not showing that in superuser. do i just flash the superuser in this section and try it again. i'm rooting a friends phone and followed the instructions to the t. thanks in advanced.
