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.
dito33
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] Help flashing [ROM]Bonsai4All EXT4/Clockworks 3.0.0.5 support V2.0.1 >02/03/2011
Ok guys, im gonna attempt a flash([ROM]Bonsai4All EXT4/Clockworks 3.0.0.5 support V2.0.1 >02/03/2011) today on my friends samsung epic 4g which is fully stock at the moment, i already have read the instructions but i need a little guidance in the right direction. I have flashed clockworkmodrecovery using

so now i can boot into clockworkmod recovery, but b4 i flash anything im going to do a backup through the clockworkmod recovery, i read in the Bonsai4All thread that i need to "Odin the dk28 modem first", can someone tell me how i can do that, like give me a link to the required files and how i would go about installing them. Also is there anything else that i am not doing that is required to flash to the Bonsai4All ROM from a stock samsung epic 4g , all feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance guys.
This is the Epic wiki. Scroll down to Odin Stock Flashing and follow those instructions. Under Official Roms (just above Odin Stock Flashing) is the dk28 file. It's titled 'SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 Stock DK28 (Leaked).' That's what you put in Odin to flash to stock dk28. Scroll down further to Community Roms and you will see the Bonsai4All rom. Once you are on stock dk28, have cwm3 installed, and download the Bonsai rom to the SDcard, you can flash Bonsai through cwm.

The wiki says I have to "Select the victory_8G_100528.pit on the right in the pit section" on step number 4, do I have to do that to flash to Bonsai, or do I just do what you told me.

When I flashed to stock dk28 , I used the Victory pit along with the SPH-D700-DK28.tar. So, I would do both.
I have used it without victory BUT I was already on dk28. I had a 2.2 rom and I was flashing back to stock dk28.
So, final answer, for the first time going to dk28, I would use both the pit and tar.
On a side note, make sure only the reset time and auto-reboot check boxed are checked. There shoud be three total check boxes. For the first time, only check those. If you install a rom and want to go back to stock dk28 in the future, then only check auto-reboot.
So basically what you're saying. Is all that I really need to do is substitute the dk28 tar u told me instead of the one used on step 5?

ok, one more question before i begin is, do i backup with clockworkmodrecovery before i flash dk28, or if im correct the flash will delete everything including root, and upgrade the phone to 2.2, so the backup would be irrelevant until b4 i flash the bonasi?

Yes, using flash with ODIN will erase everything including root. So, backup everything before you start. It should backup to your SDcard. When you do the stock flash, root, install cwm3 and flash your 2.2 based rom, you should be able to boot into cwm, go to backup/restore- advanced restore and restore data.
I would install My Backup or something similar before attempting though. Just in case cwm doesn't keep your backup after the flash. It's worked for me in the past. After backup, you can also move the backup file to your computer's hard drive for safekeeping. It's in the root of the sd folder under Clockwork recovery.
thumbs up picking bonsai rom. ive tried midnight, viper, nebula already and none of them even compare to the speeds of bonsai. if your going for speed and no force closes choose bonsai.
to kind of answer your question, always backup, it wont hurt anything.

ok, thanks, i think i got the steps down, after i have this installed, i root it using(insert link and awesome advice here)?
I'm on my phone now so I can't see the links and so forth. I think the bonsai rom will install root, cwm, convert to ext 4 file system and install bonsai. Double check the rom thread though. If not, theres a one-click root w/ cwm3 in the dev section

I am new at this, I have read a lot and followed a lot of tutorials. I may not use terms correctly so please forgive me.
Problem:
I am trying to flash to MidNIGHT ROM 4.2 zip from stock eb13 on my Epic.
This is my first attempt at such a thing, i was able to successfully root my device via noobnl's instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
I am able to get rom manager installed and give it SU rights, etc. I got the full rom from the developer’s autism awareness site which is the full package. I make a backup through rom manager and reboot into CWM recovery.
I clear the data/cache 3 times and proceed to update through the zip on sd card option and point it to the midnight rom zip.
It says it is successful, i reboot and I become stuck on the samsung loading screen, I let it sit for 10min just to make sure, but no dice.
I then boot it back into recovery mode and try again multiple times which it is much faster this time but they all fail to load past the samsung load screen.
I go into the CWM recovery and attempt to load my backup, which hangs at installing cache every time.
So I am left with just booting into CWM.
I then resort do using odin to get back to eb13 and I am back where I began.
Sorry for the wall of text but I am lost and have tried to read a lot so I didn’t come on here asking random questions, but I have been working on this for a long time now and figure a forum post was due.
It wont work with CWM 2.5 and RFS. It requires CWM 3.0 and EXT4
After you ODIN back to EB13 go here:

I see now.
I used Rom manager to update my CWM to 3.0 and thought that would work with his first bullet, but I thought wrong.
I guess I dont understand RFS and EXT4, I thought rooting was rooting and noobnl's directions were the easiest for me to follow.
Much appreciated chris5h for the fast reply.
I will test this out when I get home from work.

Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Follow this thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Then when you restore, only restore data under advanced restore.
If you used Mybackup root or Titanium you can restore your apps from there, otherwise you should download them again from the market.

This is the easiest way I have found to root your phone with CWM3 and EXT4. If you don't mind using Odin I would suggest it strongly. I used it and installed Midnight ROM v4.2 and had no problems at all.
Well that was it. Thanks a lot everyone for your help. It took me like 10minutes once I had everything downloaded, much better than the hours upon hours yesterday
I officially have midnight ROM installed and I am rocking some nice speeds on my epic! Finally nice to see just what the phone is capable of.
Glad you got it. I wish people would stop using rom manager for the epic. It doesn't flash cwm

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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

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.
