Alright so a while back I used unrevoked on my wifes incredible and it worked just fine. she updated it recently so today I went to reroot and prep to install a new rom. Problem is it failed to get root with the newest unrevoked. Ti backup fails to get root yet mybackup gets it and so does rom manager. I'm trying to get into clockwork through the hboot menu. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by going through there..i tried to backup with cwm through rom manager and it worked (didn't till i flashed the latest recovery but still) but I'd still like to get into cwm for myself not rely on rom manager. I've yet to try to reboot into recovery that way or restore the backup I made as I am at work but regardless..any ideas? I know when things are being ridiculous with the fascinate I can just odin and go from there..is there something along those lines for the dinc? If not what should I do to root the thing..get clockwork again..and flash the new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks!

Your best bet is starting from scratch. Unrooting, rerooting, flashing cwm. Etc.

I can get to HBOOT but from there all i can do is reboot or fast boot, I havent done the factory reset yet but i intend to try. But from hboot I want to get into cwm, or do i get into cwm recovery a different way?
Mind you I havent tried to get into it since flashing the newest cwm through rom manager (or that I remember trying or not..been a hectic past week..im losing my damn mind, grandmother passed away in Anaheim, etc, etc)
also im going to reroot and do a completely different rom, it is stock minus wonky root and launcher pro. I finally convinced the wife to let me modify it.
Ifu don't see recovery option in any hboot option. Like there's no clockwork u should by able to flash clockwork and then a Rom.ican pm you.but if unroot is your objective goto Android dev stickies there's a thread.

thats the thing, I see the recovery option, but everytime I select it, it tried to find a multitude of images, says file doesnt exist on all of them (4 or 5 of them I believe) and sends me back to the main hboot screen.
Suppose that information would have been useful. Again, hectic week lol
use say u have rom manager?
yes, im wondering if I need a stock recovery image since it isnt finding the PBwhaterver.img Any idea where I can get that?
Also probably helpful, I had used unrevoked forever a while back. Im thinking I need to undo those changes and just retry everything.
Thoughts?
Edit: Downloaded a new clockwork recovery image from unrevoked forever wiki, gonna throw it on the SD card and see what happens. HOPEFULLY that will let me into cwr, if not, how do I just put everything back to stock so I can start over?
try that file. get rid of the mlti part should sayPB31IMG. also make sure no other files of the same name are on root of sd.should say update vol up yes wait reboot no see ifu got recovery got newr versions too. also new urevoked have versions without clockwork u prolly used tht one. easy fix tho
alright, gonna give it a shot when I get home in the morning. Wish me luck.
Alright flashing with rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery from there worked just fine. we are in business for now anyways lol.

Heres my situation...Im currently running MIUI 1.3.4 ROM. I finally decided to try out another rom so I choose Warm Two Point Two RLS 5. So I downloaded that as well as radio/wimax update zip that was said on thread to flash w/ rom.Heres EXACTLY wat I did: (1st) Did a Nandoid backup (2nd)did a full wipe...data/factory reset...cache...then dalvik (3rd) flashed Warm 2pt2 ROM (4th) in same recovery session wiped cache...then dalvik and flashed radio/wimax update(was told to wait for for radios to flash..would see little green arrow/phone icon which I did (5th) then I rebooted. So my problem is after doing all that it rebooted back to my MIUI rom and NO new rom was installed! Dont get what I did wrong! I hav not had problems flashing different kernels on the MIUI rom but struck out on starting with fresh install to change roms. So can anybody give me advice on this matter?
are you using clockwork? try RA.
Try it again. Or maybe try flashing the radios first, then the rom.
Flash calkulin's format all, then flash the radios, then myn's rom, then reboot. Nothing else, and do it all within one recovery session.
The format all will wipe all the things you did, plus system and one other. It's usually just a good idea to do whenever you switch actual rom's.

yes I used unrevoked 3 to root my phone so im runnin clockwork. So if I wanted to change recovery...how wud I go about doin that?
It was said on the install instructions in the thread I got the warm's two point two rom from to flash rom first then radio/wimax update. Does it really matter or will I mess up my phone if I do it the other way?

try clockwork again, except in your step (2) when you get to wipe dalvik hit yes, let it load, then hit restore boot at top....let it load, then when it returns to main, hit chose zip and flash...
..or in clockwork scroll down to alternate recovery...hit it should change to RA. MAY need to be the paid version i forget.
you could also do the other suggestions.
Edit...as for the updates it won't matter if the radios and ROM are up to date.
Well thts wat I mean as far as I kno Im not a sense rom if im runnin MIUI which is a AOSP rom. Thats why Im askin if flashing the radio/wimax update before the the Warm's rom wud do anything to my phone? I already hav the Calkulin's format all zip on my sd card so I will try tht but before I do I just need to kno if its ok to flash update before rom.
You are fine to flash the radio/wimax before flashing the rom.
Well I finally got the warms rom to flash. It ended up being a corrupted zip file on my sd card. So I deleted it and downloaded it again on my sd card then flashed...so everything is workin now....YEH!!!! Thanks everyone for the advice...much appreciated!
Glad you got it working...and that's the end of that chapter.
I've tried to install midNIGHT rom 6 times now with the same result. I cannot install any apps from the market, titanium backup, or from sdcard. It will vibrate once at the beginning of install than again 2 or 3 times. My phone will then show the bootup animation and return to the homescreen. Ive odined back to stock and rerooted 4 times and wiped everything 3x each time. Each time I get the same result. Ive also tried reformatting my sd card and starting with a fresh download. Other roms work, just not this one. I dont have enough posts to reply to the midnight thread, so what should I try next to make it work?

MAYBE YOUR flashing the wrong rom to update from the midnight ex: if you use dk28 ... i dnt think thats gets the proper update ec05
so lets see if you flash a dI18 or better get eb13 stick rom ... now u can either flash the ec05 modem or as my phone did when i used the stock eb13 it sent me the update for ec05 then i rooted w 3.0.6 clockworkmod then i went to BONSAI .. i left BONSAi to midnight ... i wiped factory data 3x - cache petition 3x and davlik cache 3x ... then i installed the zip MIDNIGHT V5.2 JOURNALING ON .... THEN AFTER IT BOOTED .... i went back into RECOVERY and flash the ZIP EXTRAS .. bang it was magic ... lol'
but basically im tryn to give you steps that maybe something might help u or give u and idea ..... IT WORKED FOR ME .....
DISCLAIMER : im not a professional if something major goes wrong i dnt not claim responsibility ...
I have the same problem. Worked the first time I installed it but I restored back to stock. Now when I install I can't install from market. Tried odin back to stock but It still doesn't work. Haven't seen a solution in the midnight thread besides going to EXT.
I am having issues as well and cannot post a reply. I have wiped and re installed 3x but my phone will randomly turn off and I have to pull the battery to reset device. If the device stays plugged in I do not have this issue. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
You note that this version is the one with journaling enabled... have you tried the version without journaling? You can manually re-enable it by making a CWM Nandroid backup and then restoring that backup immediately after.

On the instructions for midNIGHT 5.2 with Journaling On it says not to start with a pre-rooted EC05. Start with stock EC05 and then root with CWM 2.5.5 for RFS or 3.0.0.6 if you are wanting to use the EXT4 one. There is a link for a stock EC05 on the instructions in the thread for the ROM
And how to check if the journaling is actually on or off.

I'm not sure if there's a quick and easy way to detect this through the Terminal Emulator. I tried a line of code that I believed would tell me but I didn't get the answer I was looking for. Someone else may have the answer.
The quick and dirty way, however, is to make a Nandroid backup through Clockworkmod, as you should generally just have one at all times anyway. Now turn your phone on, and pull the battery out. If when you turn your phone back on you don't encounter any FC's, then your journaling is on and your data is protected. If not, then restore your Nandroid backup you just made and that will enable journaling.
If you installed a no-journaling rom, rest assured, journaling is off if you haven't restored. Either way you should have a Nandroid backup just in case.
Note: This process has been documented and posted many many many times across XDA at this point.
I was also having this issue so I installed the EXT4 Journal On version and problem solved. No one knows why LOL.
Before I get ravaged, I have wandered from thread to thread to thread trying to find answers and unfortunately, everyone's got a different situation, so I'll try and sum it up here.
I have an Epic 4G that I threw the Samsung/Sprint Froyo ROM on as soon as it as available, after which I rooted it, installed CWM 2.5 and called it a day. I've been wanting to upgrade to Gingerbread, but the official EI22 ROM is obviously giving me issues because of root, so I decide, hey, I can try adding on some other ROMs and finally get into this thing.
Now somewhere amongst all this, I have CWM 5.0 installed and my phone is running both older and newer versions and only 5.0 is letting me restore in case I screw up.
So I grab the Gingerbread restore and after wiping my data, restore it. Gets stuck on Samsung logo. Try this a few times, give up, reload my original Froyo image (only after coaxing CWM to load up 5.0 instead of 2.5). Try again tonight with ACS ICS ROM and 2.5, still stuck at Samsung logo. Wipe and try again, same thing.
So my question is: A) would it be better to go back to Odin and try again despite a stable Froyo image, B) how can I eliminate one of these CWMs, C) has anyone else had these issues?
seems like you did a whole bunch of things... probably best to start clean.. odin to stock froyo. then you probably want to root it from there. after that, you can flash the latest cwm, then latest gingerbread rom
when you installed cwm5, did u flash through rom manager or through recovery?
I honestly just downloaded CWM from Marketplace and I found out how I was able to access it: it's a zip in my Clockwork folder. Once I "install" that, it loads into 5.0 and that's how I've been able to work, but it never updates CWM, I have to keep having to boot into it from the zip.
well u have cwm2,5 u said... try booting into cw, (three fingers) and flash the zip. but maybe you can try downloading cwm from the official cwm thread and flash that zip just to be sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
Yeah, every time I try to flash that ZIP, it just opens up 5.0 instead. I'll have to try doing it from scratch.
isnt that what u want??? 5.x.x.x??

Yeah, definitely.
Okay, Odin'ed back to stock Froyo and rooted, loaded on ACS Recovery. This whole process has killed my battery, so I'm going to recharge before trying to load up a new ROM. It seems like it should be easy from here on out...
You should just start over with a fresh install.
Here are the steps. I made this list before CWM 5 was released, but you can get the CWM 5 ODIN .tar file from that thread which was linked a few posts up.

Yeah I ODINed back with ACS Recovery and now I'm running ACS ICS, which is sooooooo awesome. I think I was afraid about having to ODIN back to stock and losing everything. Now I should still have the Froyo image on there, can't I just run between this new one and that?
Thanks, all!
What do you mean by you have acs ics and still have the froyo image?? are you dual booting
Acs ics = rom.

Does he mean the wallpaper?
I have EC05 right now. Yesterday I flashed to ACS MIUI and it seems to work fine. Today I try to upgrade to EI22 with CWM 5.0.2.7 using modem.EC05toEI22.zip, but I get an error every time:
Updating modem to EI22...
script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/firmware/modem.EC05toEI22.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I tried re-downloading the file multiple times from different sources and I keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong?
Just had someone had a similiar issue with a modem.... can you odin back to stock ec05 and it completely flash everything?
It could be a hardware problem if your unable to flash back to stock ec05 and it gets stuck at modem.bin
Otherwise I'm sure someone else knows why its not flashing right... oh and have you tried flashing an alternative recovery possibly acs recovery5 its better. One more thing are you flashing from rom managers boot to recovery or your 3 finger salute?

I odined back to stock EC05 then ota'd to EI22. Except now after I rooted and installed clockwork mod I can't boot into clockwork mod, I can only get into android system recovery, which I can't install a custom rom from. I have tried installing ACS CWM and the latest official CWM via odin and I still can't boot into anything but regular android system recovery using the three finger boot.
What is wrong now?

Samsung put a code into the kernel that reboots the original recovery mode every reboot. Download a custom kernel (which will overwrite this setting.) I recommend nebernal for this as it will work on rfs and I don't know if the others will... there is a qbking vid to properly root on ei22 if this is confusing you... Odin the cwm .tar and DON'T have auto reboot checked. After flashing cwm pull battery and reboot into recovery via the 3 finger method... now flash that kernel I told you to download and boom you now have a cwm tha sticks after reboot!!! Now you can flash whatever rom you would like... btw for future reference I'm pretty sure you have to mount/system in cwm when flashing anything from the new miui and cm roms because of the new mtd partition...

Not sure if this entirely right but with the new partition or reserved memory space the system needs to mounted in order for anything affecting or changing the system to work properly. However to do so its in mounts and storage you'd need to go to mount /system in cwm and then try flashing the ec05toei22.zip then it should work.
