CWM Recovery using old version? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

The hacked kernel with CWM recovery posted here:

Seems to be from build EB30, but my phone came with build EG30. Why the difference, and is EB30 safe to use?

All current versions of CWM are a little iffy. We won't have total stability until we get an official build that's flashable via ROManager.

Ahh, so it is a known bug that the one from rom manager doesn't work? It seems to reboot into the stock samsung recovery to install itself, and that obviously refuses to install the image because it isn't signed. Isn't the ROM manager supposed to replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery and reboot into that instead?

Yeah, ROM Manager doesn't support the E4GT yet. Some of the devs have managed to compile custom versions of CWM for us to use but with no integration with ROM Manager.
To answer your first question I think EB30 was just a typo. it is supposed to be EG30.

ROM Manager Premium v.2.5.0.5

When trying to download a new Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.1 I'm getting an error occurred while flashing your recovery.
I'm able to flash 2.5.0.1.
Why is this happening. Is it because of my Kernel or ROM?

You must have denied permissions with setcpu to change the recovery. If not, just use fastboot and do it manually. Get klutsh's clockworkmod which lets you hack the ps3.
Also post your questions in the Q & A and not here.
also wrong section
nice rom

I just installed the new version of ROM Manager premium, but it's still saying the latest recover is 2.5.0.1. Where are you seeing the newer one?

I dont think that recovery is for our phones...looking at the mirror where the file comes from i dont see one for the evo of that version
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
2.5.0.1 is the latest (recovery) the app on the other hand is different
The guy above me is correct. 2.5.1.1 is the latest for certain phones, but not for the EVO. I don't know why it lists itself as a possibility though, I would think it could filter the results based on your type of phone.

[Q] CM9 Kang ROM

I'd like to give it a try, can it be updated through CWM or manually only?
CWM works fine
I have CWM on my stock phone now, why isn't the CM9 Kang ROM listed?
You have to manually download it.

or search for codeworkx
Just to be clear:
I will have to manually download the CM9 kang zip and manually flash it with CWM
But after that, can I simply use CWM to download new updates to flash?
What about when CM9 is actually released, will can I simply flash over the Kang or will have to 'start from scratch'?

I think you are a bit confused. You could use premium version of rom manager to download roms and then flash from your sdcard in CWM.
Or you can download the rom onto your computer, copy to phone and flash from CWM. You can't use CWM to download roms.

I always have with my Nook Color. I have the free ROM Manager on it. I can list all the ROMs available for it, download what I want and when it's done downloading, reboot directly into CWM to flash the update.
Or are CWM and ROM Manager separate entities?

Ah yeah, that's not what you said originally i think. Yeah you cans till do that. I don't do it that way but you can.
Rom manager is the app on your phone, CWM is the recovery you boot into. You can't download roms from the CWM recovery but you can from rom manager and do it as you have described.

OK, so once I have CM9 Kang running, can I use ROM Manager to download updates?
And once CM9 is released can I just update to the official version?

Issue Flashing Roms

So for some reason, I catch an error everytime I try to flash a rom to my phone. Then I am forced to restore my backup.
I have it rooted with CWM v5.5.0.4.
i747.
Not sure what other information you guys would need to assist. Would I need to re-root it? Different version of CWM?
Are you wiping data before you flash any new roms? That could be it..
Yep, always wipe data/factory.
.... i'm pretty sure that telling us what the error message says would help, too....
I'll take a wag and say since your recovery is 5.5.0.4 your probably getting a status 7 error which simply means you need to update your recovery to the newest version. Check in the dev section for the cwm recovery thread.

Agreed, almost undoubtedly...in every recovery flashable .zip there is an update-binary file which is the actual executable that is commanded by the update-script on what operations to perform. The newer versions of this binary are incompatible with older versions of the recoveries. This effect is not necessarily one way either, an older recovery trying to flash a new .zip or vice versa can produce this error but as a general rule using the newest recoveries should minimize this problem. The only time the reverse is a problem is when there is an update to the recovery api and there hasn't been an updated update-script built into a .zip. The easiest way to check is download the appropriate rom manager for your recovery, Clockwork Rom Manger for CWM or Goomanager for TWRP.

[Q] How do I flash CWM over TWRP? Rom manager not an option

Hi,
I have a Bell Galaxy S3 that has TWRP installed right now, but for some reason, only about 1/4 ROMS I try to flash on it lately, doesn't work. I would like to give CWM a try again, but I can't seem to find a way to flash it back. ROM manager doesn't give me the option and I can't find an up to date flashable TWRP or ODIN .tar file.

CWM will replace TWRP.
6.0.4.5 is the latest CWM and is needed to flash 4.4.2 ROMs.

I'm in a similar position with TWRP already installed but ROM manager gives me the option to flash CWM. If I use ROM manager will it still replace TWRP? I'm assuming it does, but I wanted to double check first.
PS I'm running an LG Optimius 4X HD, but a Google search for my question brought up this thread, which saves me starting my own.

I would not use Rom Manager. I would download a flashable zip made for your phone and flash it from TWRP. Alternatively, you could install it via adb/fastboot.

Thanks for the suggestion - is that done just by putting the zip onto the phone and using the "install" function in TWRP, just like flashing ROMs?

Yes. Personally, I used the latest release of Philz Touch which is based on CWM. There is a version that can be flashed via a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and a tar version that can be flashed in the PDA section of desktop Odin.

The official download off the CWM website is a .img - will that work or do I need to compress it to a .zip? Thanks for your help, especially given I don't really belong on your section of the forum!

I believe you can flash the img via fastboot.

Issue updating CWM for 4.4 install

Been a while since i updated my device so i wanted to try out the new 4.4. I see that i needed CWM 6.0.4.3 and i only have 6.0.3.0. I downloaded Rom manager and installed the update that way and Rom manager says its is running the 6.0.4.3 but when i go to the recovery it says the old version is still running and gives me the expected error when i try to flash the 4.4 ROM. I also tried to download the the update file and flash that in recovery and it didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It probably something simple and i will feel like an idiot when someone chimes in........

I updated mine yesterday from the rom mananger and had no problems.
1 thing you should know before you go and try the 4.4 kitkat is that sd card isnt showing. I love the rom but cant get to anything on my sd card.
Good luck.
@guttus
Just a Rule of Thumb. It is advisable to flash Recoveries with ODIN. I am very well aware you can use Rom Manager or Goo Manager, but this is just a thumb rule for flashing the Recovery Partition.
Also note, flashing wrong Recovery can cause hard brick.
recoveries in my sig.
odin and recovery flashable versions

Hi all. I'm on the i9305 and want to flash latest recovery for kitkat. I'm on philz recovery and wondered if there was one of his I could use. I searched xda but I couldn't find anything. Also I couldn't find an Odin (tar) file for normal cwm. Omni and cm only have the zip and IMG files.

I did do this update via oden. Also flashed Phil's recovery from there. This is where i tried to flash the 4.4 gapps to fix the issue with no luck.
Please post a log of the error when you tried to flash CM Kitkat. If you can't pull the log file, take a photo.
