Thanks to tnpapadakos for the info. to fix the charging phone with phone off auto boot to recovery issue all we have to do is use the 2.5.1.4 recovery. then you could always flash back to the latest clockwork recovery when you dont need this one anymore but can go back to the other one when you wanna charge with the phone off.
You could either flash it or put it in your sdcard in clockworkMOD/download/mirror.kanged.net/recoveries for easier access to flash from Rom manager. Make sure its named recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-vision once its there when you go to ROM managerr and go to all clockwork recoveries, you can flash that recovery without getting an Error! or rename it to recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision and flash it through that option.
Now does anyone still have that recovery? We can't get it from the ROM manager because you will get an ERROR. if anyone has it, post it here and ill add it here for everyone to get.

I looked in the first page.. there is no such fix about fixing the phone booting into clockwork recovery when you turn off the phone. I'd lovea link to the page in that thread were you posted the fix.
edit: OP here is the recovery you were looking for 2.5.1.3 correct?

You led to me links on the first page of an ancient thread that have no use because they dont work. and the first link only leads you to download the latest recovery. But here's the best part, your link you had in that thread doesn't work anymore. How cool are you?

While you would rather be right. We would rather be happy.
Also... what good does it do you to give you what you want? It's more helpful if we show you how to get there instead... teach a man to fish, right? So how about you stop expecting (and demanding), and instead learn a little... it won't kill you to read through a thread (I'm still here, aren't I?)... instant gratification just shows how arrogant you are.
As for the broken link? There are numerous posts about a mirror being made by someone... how about you click "search" one more time?

damien667 said:
Its not a kernel patch, its a init.rc service than runs before recovery that reads the kernel command line for the offmode_charging variable... if it sees it it stops recovery from starting (even though you are in fact already booted into the recovery system) and starts a keypressing service (to reboot phone into regular boot mode when power button is pressed) and also the battery charging service that is supposed to display the battery icon charging animation (which doesn't work in cwm)... those services (binaries) were grabbed from the OTA recovery... if you read my previous posts, you would know.

I had the Cm7 gx4 rom not too long ago, and it had a really cool wallpaper that I used, and I'd like to have again. Off topic for a second, it was a white honeycomb pattern.
Anyways, I've tried going through the zip file for the wallpapers, even went through RC1 and RC2 to find it. Then tried opening the ADW zip within those roms and trying to find it there. I have an old nandroid backup from when I had that rom, and I was wondering how would one go about opening up the nand and extracting files? all that comes up when I open it at IMG files. Is it possible to navigate through it like a zip file?

Yeah. I did a search and all (as I stated in my post), but I must not have searched the perfect keywords. XDA search seems finicky.
And I hope you didn't get the wrong idea from my post. I wasn't trying to say that you, specifically, should have helped me. It was more out of frustration with the fact that no one at all replied, and the fact that there actually was a perfect thread that I couldn't find.
Anyway, thank you for finally opening my eyes, and I will hit the thanks button for you when I get on a computer instead of the app.
I got those img files extracted by using dsixda's kitchen; rename those nand imgs as boot.img, and use kitchen function #22 to extract them.
Was this the answer you were looking for?

Is there an easy step by step tutorial that I missed?

Lol....cheech, you have much to learn young padawan!!
First, I believe you can't flash themes over stock roms, only deodexed roms will take themes. The stock rom is odexed.
Second, whatever version of clock work mod you used as a recovery must be compatible with the rom/theme/kernel/ect you are going to use.
Three, sorry I can't break it all down for you, but I'm still learning, just read about what you want to flash before jumping in and burning the house down.
Oh and stay away from rom manager for now, unless you want major issues...
One last thing and I don't mean to sound like a ****. If your not willing to read and research, your going to inevitably run into issues, major issues. I read for weeks before I did anything and its nearly impossible to put that into one or two paragraphs. If you don't feel like reading I'd tell you hacking your epic or any phone for that matter is a terrible idea.

Well heres what happened. (I have a new thread out so this is just a copy/paste)
just installed CWM 3.0.0.5 and now my Epic is frozen upon reboot! It keeps going to the SAMSUNG black screen and wont move from that.
I reboot in recovery mode and get to the CWM menu but cant do anything from there, cant wipe device, cant remove anything, etc.
Help me fix this!
Im a college student that needs his phone working ASAP!

It sounds like you used CWM 3.0. Which converts to EXT4 (for filesystem type). You will want to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700
and then this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067 and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android And THEN use the SEARCH TOOL * as you should have before asking* to see if you can find th problem within he thousand or so threads in the epic 4g part. Good luck.
Check out my how to video thread for visual help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
WAIT. You DID install clockwork mod 3.0. Did you read a single guide? The stock kernel is NOT compatible with the EXT4 format. Therefore you HAVE to flash a kernel that is. (search it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897612 read the steps and you should be fine (as soon as you flash the right kernel). Oh, and you should download and flash SyndicateFROZEN ROM. Just a friendly suggestion.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ2g6J1JgjU to take your phone back to stock or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo&feature=channel_video_title to put on the syndicate rom now that you have upgraded clockwork. qbking77 videos are awsome and if they help think about a donation so he keeps providing more.
Thank you to everyone who helped me out in this thread. My phone is now fixed. Turns out the .tar / PDA file that I was using in Odin was corrupt and wouldnt work fully.
I used a different version which seemed to work fine, then it upgraded once I turned my phone on.

This is pretty old, and requires Amon_RA Recovery to flash. There are newer ones, but this was the first I came across.
Hint: Most of the time, Dev's will link a format all in their first post along with their ROM.

Okay, so im running kingsrom unleashed 4g, and its great i love it. Tired to flash another rom today, elite III. Preformed backup, flashed format_all zip first then was gonna flash elite III next like it states. But now after flashing format_all zip it restarted the phone and now its back to kingrom and its in safe mood. For some odd reason its not letting me load into bootloader so i can flash the next step. And whats really ticking me off is that rommanager is not working. Ive installed and uninstalled countless times and it wont let me open. Does it have to due with being in safe mood. Please help me , need someone to fill me in. Thanks for you time.
I'm confused in regard to your post. Anyway, to get to the bootloader, power off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen and then you'll be shown a set of options. Viola, you're at the bootloader screen.

I'm no expert here, but I think you may want to try running the RUU form your PC if that doesn't work, go back to stock and start over. I'm sure someone will come up wit ha better option, but if it was me, that's what I would do.

Lawlz, no paper weights while I'm around.
Let me give you a little background.
Few days back, I rooted my phone. Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall apps which I thought were not useful like LG TV, Email- should not have done that
Then the phone was somehow did not boot. I looked up internet and tried something- got worse: Emergency mode with yellow screen. Went ahead to a local phone repair shop and he exploited me well to hand me back the phone in working condition
NOW... the problem is camera does not work. It shows a black screen everytime I launch it. Going in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All , Camera shows 0 bytes !
Searching on internet I found that I should not have uninstalled the Email app.
Please share some ideas on how I can help myself here. Any help will be appreciated.
PS- I am using Ubuntu on my computer and Froyo.
Holy hell! I had the same problem a long time ago! (Except no uninstalling was involved) It forced my dad to buy me a new phone.

download custom recovery then
boot you phone into fastboot by pressing vol up + call + power button then use
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
then
fasboot reboot
then download any custom rom that you want and flash that
it will solve your problem

OP, I would advise, as you ask questions like the one you posted, verify the information posted before you attempt anything. If someone says that if you install a custom ROM on your device, it'll brick; go to the DEV threads, and check out other peoples experiences. You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble

I think I did that mistake earlier. Read something about rooting and went straight ahead to brick the phone. I am hoping to have a clearer understanding of things this time. Since I am newbie, it will take effort. But this forum has so many experts and people are willing to contribute- I am sure I will learn a lot in the company of you guys.
I will dive in the DEV threads as you adviced. Thank you so much guys You are all my Santa Claus

You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble
Just my 2¢

If I use this thread, would it fix my camera ? I am not sure HOW should I install though, but of all the things I have read around here, it seems this might help. Please give your views whether I should go with this
If yes, could you please point me some link with detailed instructions ( the post assumes I know the HOW part ) ?
If you are using Froyo, give a try on it. Follow carefully the steps to how flash a ROM. If you already has an recovery, life is easier. If not, search on net about it =D
Any guides for Ubuntu 12.10

Awesome ! The problem is I do not have access to any windows system and all the guides that are floating around seem to be for that OS. If you happen to know a guide for Ubuntu, kindly share it with me please...

To be honest, I was confused with people talking about Clockwork and Nandroid- and I was stupid enough to try not finding out So, No. There is no recovery but on the bright side, I will do that as the first thing from next time onwards
