ClockworkMod Recovery for the Samsung Epic Touch 4G​
Mad Props
Thanks to everybody involved with the original rooted kernel, including zedomax and shabbypenguin as well as tanimn.
Also a big shout out to AbsolutZeroGI, my hommie WR47H, and fordmanck.
Here we go...
This is a recovery tar file to be flashed with Odin. It will give you Clockwork Mod Recovery on your Epic Touch 4G. *NO data will be wiped! you are going to need kies for drivers. Download that here.
1. Download Odin 1.85
2. Download the flash-able recovery tar from the link below.
3. Extract Odin somewhere on your PC.
4. Open Odin3 V1.85 and on the left side ONLY have AUTO reboot checked (VERY IMPORTANT)
6. Check the PDA slot and then press the PDA button and navigate to the Tar file and select it
7. Now power off your Epic Touch.
8. Once fully powered off, press and hold volume down, home key, and power button at the SAME time.*This will take you into Odin mode.
9. Plug your phone into your PC.
10. You should see COM# (the number doesn't matter) in the ID:COM box
11. Press start and let it run through the process!*
12. You now have clockwork mod as your recovery!
Downloads
acs-eb30-clockwork-epic-touch-4g-sep-20-4-00-pm.tar (6.33 MB)
Now if you would like to also have root just download this and flash it in clockwork recovery.
Please do not post any mirrors without the permission of myself or others on the ACS team.
Here is a youtube video explaining the process.

F$#@ Yeah!

I am already rooted will this still work? i like the root i have now from the other thread?

broke root!!!!!!, thanx...also if i could get the regular galaxy sII startup screen back that would be nice. Thanks.

So we still need the pit file to flash this recovery? Or can we just use the tar file in odin and we're okay?

Damn, things are happening fast! Many thanks

Again ill ask i already have root from the other thread would i still do all this again even though i already have root?

You can flash this over the previously released tar that gave everyone root, and the pit is not needed, so you should be fine.

How do I test that it worked?

not working, flashed this file, broke root,now cmw what so ever

[HOW-TO] CWM on LTE Version through Rom Manager

This is a guide on how to get ClockWorkMod onto your stock 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 LTE Galaxy Nexus through Rom Manager
If your having problems booting into Recovery from ROM Manager go to bottom.
Screen turning off while in Recovery? Read herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20467448&postcount=206

Install Rom Manager*
Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"
Then you should hopefully get this (if not scroll down to bottom)
Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"
There you go
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer
If you got
That means either A) your not rooted or B) you didn't click 'Allow' when ROM Manager requested root privileges.
If your not rooted, then root. If you are rooted, then go to SuperUser and clear the permissions for ROM Manager
PROBLEMS BOOTING INTO RECOVERY FROM ROM MANAGER
To fix your problem just hit flash clockwork recovery again from Rom manager. Then just boot into the bootloader by turning off your phone and holding vol up+down and power button...then hit the vol down button once or twice till you see recovery mode and hit the power button. Iv noticed that sometimes reboot into recovery from rom manager doesnt seem to work correctly. But if your getting the android on his back...that just means you still have stock recovery and that file is overwriting clockwork still.
O and you wont have to do anything once you hit reboot recovery...or do it from the bootloader. clockwork will immediately pop up its not like stock recovery at all.

Great tutorial, this is how I did it and it works like a charm.

Nice write up with pics.
I'm with you all the way until it comes to locating the recovery-from-boot.p file. Checked with Root Explorer as well as Astro. Each boot removes Clockwork and requires a new flash.
Not a super big deal, but I think a lot of people could profit if we could figure out what's going on here.

[Q] Bootloop

I have been facing bootloops recently. It started all of a sudden. I am able to reach CWM but i dont have a backup to restore though i have a backup copy in my computer which i am unable to copy as the device doesn't enter into adb mode. And i am not able to flash any roms as there is no rom in my virtual sd card. Any help would be appreciated. Can i somehow get into adb mode? And btw the screen kinda flickers when booting.
Edit: Found CWM supports adb mode. Will revert back soon.
Edit2: I think i lost CWM too. Now just bootloops.Pls help.
Edit3: I get CWM sometimes and sometimes not. Not able to push backup through Gnex Toolkit.

Not sure, but can you push factory IMG through the toolkit and see if you can get your backup from there?

there is no ADB being used. only fastboot.
the post tells you how to do pretty much everything the proper way.

Bad cable or something, try another cable.
And trash the toolkit.

Changed the cable. and followed the above linked thread, but the problem persists writing failed too many links..

1)Are you connecting the device directly to the PC's back usb port (the ones physically connected to the motherboard, not the ones in the front)?
2)Using a USB hub? Don't.
3)Dual boot Linux.
4)Ditch windows.

[Q] Trying to revert GPE back to stock, need some guidance

I bought a GPE, unlocked, rooted and installed TWRP.
Then I found a dead pixel, so I started the RMA process.
Now, to be safe, I want to revert back to stock.
I would be using the files found here where the partitions are listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48352057&postcount=1
I am trying to figure out how to flash the stock recovery back to the tablet. I was told I can run the following from ADB to complete the process:
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/nameofrecoveryfilegoeshere.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
But, looking further, couldnt I just perform a fastboot command?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yes, on the GPE you can flash the recovery in fastboot.

If you are running SuperSU there should be an option in the settings menu.

Unroot via SuperSU worked, and I'm pretty sure the recovery flash worked too

Yup, that's it! If you tap Vol. Up a bunch of times you'll get the recovery menu!

Question Stuck on this screen while trying to restore stock MIUI

Hi, this is my first time rooting a phone.
I was able to unlock, flash TWRP, install and root my phone with Magisk following this video from Munchy
Following that, I installed ArrowOS and wiped (Format Data) with TWRP, as per this video from Munchy again.
But then I noticed that on boot, my Magisk app stated N/A, so I assumed I had to reroot the phone again, so I followed this video but I think I flashed the wrong boot.img, and arrowOS was unable to detect Wi-Fi at all.
I then tried to use this to restore stock MIUI following this tutorial and now my phone is stuck on this screen as per my attached picture. Selecting any option here just brings me back to the same screen no matter what I try, can anyone help?
This is what MiFlash looks like as well after everything:

Use the 8/13/21 version of MiFlash. I had issues with the newer versions. I zipped up the 8/13 version and uploaded it. You can download it here:

Sorry, fixed. You can download now. Also, in MiFlash go into Configuration and uncheck Read Back Verify if It's checked.

I MANAGED TO FLASH IT, YOU SAVED MY PHONE DUDE THANKS!
If you don't mind, I'm trying to do the following:
-Root the Poco F3
-Flash ArrowOS
Is there a tutorial somewhere I can follow that can get me both of the above? I think I was able to root it successfully first, but flashing arrowos caused the issue of the post

Now you can flash whatever rom you want. Just make sure the "install recovery after flashing" or whatever it says is checked. It will automatically flash Orangefox after the ROM so it sticks. Make sure it is checked when you flash any rom. If the ROM doesn't come with Gapps you flash the ROM first, reboot recovery then flash Gapps then Magisk, then Format data (not wipe data, format data) then restart and you should be good to go.

I'm glad you got that flashing error sorted out. I still get shivers in my spine when I see that error...
