[Q] Rom Manager glitch? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just tried to update CWM via Rom Mgr. I was using 2.5.1.0. Rom Mgr supposed downloaded & updated me to version 3.0.1.4. Is that even a real version?? I thought 3.0.0.6 was the newest. Then when I booted to recovery from Rom Mgr, it shows that I'm still using 2.5.1.0. But when I boot back to system & open Rom Mgr, it shows 3.0.1.4. Good times...not. Apparently I guess I shouldn't use Rom Mgr to update CWM! lol
All I want to is update. Is it ok to just install a newer version over an old one or should I uninstall the old one first? I can't find any info covering this.
Thanx all.

Rom manager does not flash cwm for the epic. The kernel doesn't support it. If you want to upgrade use the one click root with cwm. Rom manager is honestly useless at this point. I hope I helped u out.

Lol, that figures. Even tho Epic4G is in the drop-down list for choices. Thanx for the reply. Yeah, I used one click root when I installed CWM 2.5.1.0. So is it ok to install a new version right over the top of an old one?

Yes it is.

If you want myns market back, use root explorer or es file manager to disable market updater, located in system/app. Name it market updater.bak. that will disable it, and stop the market from updating itself. Then go to menu/settings/applications/manage applications. Then go to the 'all ' tab. Find the market. Click uninstall updates. Problem solved.

[Q] Clockworkmod V2.6.0.1 is gone!

Does anyone know if there was a change made to ROM Manager/Clockworkmod Recovery yesterday?? I had V2.6.0.1 installed and yesterday afternoon I got a notice that Clockworkmod Recovery had been upgrade and to download the new release. It was 3.0.0.5 (RomManager Version 3.0.0.7) so I updated my recovery.
This morning I tried to install a ROM that I have installed dozens of times before using v2.6.0.1 but this time it wouldn't run because of the scripting issues within V3. I tried to find & reload V2.6.0.1 but RomManager does not list it as an alternate install at the bottom of RomManager's setting page.
Anyone else receive the update notice?
I got the update message yesterday too! I chose not to update because I knew about the issues you talked about. You can flash RA recovery, flash ROM, then go back if you need to. Or I can get you the zip if clockwork that does both versions of scripting..... Wait can't do that from the xda app....okay ill post it up when I get to my work computer...unless someone else throws it up before I do.

Guess I got beat to it but here is the zip file anyways.
CM still has an option to go to 2.5.0.7
I did not know this Sh%^t and could not restore any nands and was forced to unroot and start over. Seemed easier (for me) than pushing a recovery. I was not able to boot into anything to make the change... one would think that clockwork would play nice with older clockworks

How do I install the .zip file? Installing via recovery is only temporary. Next reboot it's back to 3.0.0.5

I only use it as a temp. I think to actually install you have to use a .img file....???? Not sure on that one. Someone has the answer.

gzibell, I know this is an old thread, and I don't even have an Evo (I have a lowly Sprint Hero), I was just looking for an earlier version of clockwork than the 3.0.0.5 I'm currently using and I ran across this thread, and your post made me aware that I could flash 2.5.0.7 strictly as a temp, without losing the embedded 3.0.0.5 that I'm currently using...what an awesome idea!
So I tried it, and it works great!
Just want to say thanks for that post, friend!

[Q] Updating CWM Recovery

I rooted my phone using Unrevoked3. Of course by doing this, an outdated version of CWM Recovery was flashed to my phone. Can I flash a newer version of CWM Recovery from CWM or will that mess up my phone?

Flashing a new version won't hurt a thing. An easy way is to install ROM manager from market, open ROM manager and select the first option to flash cwm. After that you can uninstall ROM manager if you wish. Or you can dl the version you want and install it from your SD card.

Thanks, that's what I was thinking... Just wanted to be sure! And hey, I gotta also say thanks for helping me bring life to my dad's Eris. I flashed your ROM on it and he's really noticed a difference. Ha ha, it's actually usable now!

Any time glad people are still enjoying it. I'll be updating the Eris ROM with the R.I.P. release soon. Working on getting cm fully synced back up now for that, updating my inc cm ROM and starting the condemned cm series for inc2. Also have a new inc ROM in testing now. Just have a few things to work out with it yet.

how do I rollback to the old recovery

Hello,
I am having issues with the new recovery mode 6.0.14, how do I roll back to the recovery mode before this?
I updated my recovery using rom manager, it does not give me the option to roll back
thanks
Which one you want? I have 6.0.1.3 by sk8r and its touch. I can upload it but other than that you gotta download the one you want and flash it in recovery..
I used ROM manager and went back to 5.xxx

I can not remember what exactly was the version# it was before it got updated, I know it was version# 5 something.
I haven't been able to do any nandroid backup ever since it was updated to version 6.0.1.4
I want to stay away from touch, I haven't had any good luck with it

I had the same issue, this is what i did...
open ROM manager, scroll to the bottom you will see a option that says something about all recoveries, click that it shows 5.0.2.6 and 5.0.2.7, the .7 is the one you want, hit that and it will install that for you..
worked for me
Hit thanks if i helped you!
Thank you

[Q] Updating CWM

Rooted my (Sprint) S3 a month or so ago. The instructions I followed had me put v5.0.2.0 on it. There is a much newer version, correct?
I'd like to be able to do OTA updates and understand that that is possible with a newer version of CWM, but to get *that* version (v6.0.x.x?), I have to copy the file over via cable, correct?
Thanks.
(I still have the stock ROM)

Recovery is just normal CWM. Touch has the touch recovery ui in it. I just use the regular version but people swear by Touch and TWRP type recoveries.

.img file question
nm
Ok. Couldn't figure this out. Downloaded both versions of the ROMs from here:
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
I put them in the root of the internal SD card. But they are .IMG files and when I booted into the CWM menu, I couldn't select them. Another web site said to name it "<something>.zip", so I tried. I renamed it on my PC, but I couldn't copy it over to the phone; kept giving me an error.
So I got tired and just paid the money for the registered version of ROM Manager. I clicked "Apply CWM Recovery" or something like that, now when I reboot, it's stuck at "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
I'm Googling this, but would appreciate any help you folks can offer. Thanks.
Flash this is Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1346628&d=1348358996
Or start over by flashing this in Odin https://rapidshare.com/files/3987532545/L710VPALI3_STOCK_UNROOTED(ICS).7z

Ok. I pulled out the battery before I saw your post. Looks like it's not bricked, at least.
1) How do I tell if I have the most current version? When I fire up ROM Manager, it says v5.0.2.1. Underneath it says both "Current" and "Latest" Recovery are both v6.0.1.2. I think that means I have the latest and greatest of both.
2) If I paid $1.99 for the "paid" version, why do I still see ads?
3) I started this whole debacle because Sprint kept bugging me about a system update and it didn't work OTA. I don't know how to use "Kies Air" and I thought this would help me. Is this right?

I never was a fan of the touch myself. I rather hit up and down arrow keys lol.

You cannot apply an OTA when a custom recovery is installed.
Truth is, you don't really need to update via OTA. You can update your software by flashing a ROM based on the version you want (LG8, LI3, etc.), or you can choose to only update your baseband/modem (baseband doesn't have to match your build), or you can choose to load the kernel of your choice.
Go into the Android Development forum and do some research on the TouchWiz ROMs available there.
