Since I saw Chris posted his kernel with a cwm from koush, I decided to check rom manager today to see if there was anything new. And sure enough the touch is now listed and I was able to flash the latest version, 5.0.2.7. Thought I would share.

I can confirm this. 5.0.2.7 is now on my device, updated from 5.0.2.3, and there are now options to backup and restore from either internal or external sd .
On to CM!

Ok this is my first time using rom manager so this might be normal. But I am putting it out there in case people don't know. Looks like you still need a custom kernel for it to work. I tried with stock kernel and it didn't work. Also it looks like you will have two versions of CWM installed. I installed the kernel Chris provided and after installing the rom manager kernel if I choose boot to recovery from rom manager I get the new version, 5.0.2.7. If I try the vup + power I get the recovery on the kernel, which in this case is 5.0.2.6. So with that in mind I would rather just have the kernel with the latest version. Not sure if we can just get a stock kernel with rom manager support and that will fix the double cwm issue.

IIRC, we will no longer need CWM built into the kernel, but rather just a CWM redirector to direct to the recovery partition, where it appears that 5.0.2.7 was flashed.
does it take a long time to flash? its been a while since its trying to install

I'm using LostKernel also, and I had no problem installing CWM through Rom Manager. Rebooting to recovery via Rom Manager takes me to 5.0.2.7 (installed from the app), rebooting from Quick Boot or on a regular boot up holding vol up and power takes me to 5.0.2.6 (from LostKernel).

I don't think so. I think Rom Manager flashes CWM to the recovery partition, whereas the kernel is on the boot partition. if you install CWM through Rom Manager, the only way to get to it at the moment is to reboot to recovery from Rom Manager, otherwise you will be booted into the CWM included in the kernel.

Rom manager uses a fake flashing technique so I have read a bunch of times.

Just installed Rom Manager messing around and found that our device is listed but when I tried to flash it's recovery it shows 5.0.2.6 installed, but when I boot into recovery it's still showing 5.0.2.3.
Was it already listed and just not working? I'm running Starburst 1.7 with the stable kernel if it matters.

No, it wasn't listed previously.
Probably the first stages of giving us official support.
I never installed it before because it was easy enough to use Odin and I knew we weren't supported when I got my device. That's cool though because I had read he was gonna nail down recovery and pass the phone onto the team for development. Nice step in the right direction.

Exactly. Koush writes cwm and he is supposed to be our dev for cm7 too.
I flashed it from rom manager. It didn't work. I tried booting into recovery by turning off the phone and using volume up and power and it brought up stock recovery but then gave me a "!" Error. I also tried booting into it through rom manager with the same results.

Still good because rom manager allows you to select quick backup and restore which speeds thing up.

Worked great I formatted usb and ad storage, odined the new recovery, and flashed the new recovery through rom manager by selecting download recovery, after it downloads click install rom from sd, go into clockwork folder/downloads and select the new recovery, choose wipe dalvik and Ok. It boots into recovery, flashes, performs back ups seems to be fully functional so far. Thanks Koush! You daMan, may we please, respectfully request some CM7 bits?

And you can confirm cwm updated? Does the version in cwm show 5.0.2.6? Or does it still show 5.0.2.3? When I try to flash over compleatly stock kernel it doesnt work, it says it flashes but I cant get into cwm. When I flash over chris' stock with cwm packed it appears to flash just like on the stock kernel but when I load cwm it shows the older version 5.0.2.3. I have tried everything I can think of and no matter what, 5.0.2.6 doesnt load up for me.

Did you try hitting your phone with a rolled up newspaper...bad phone, bad phone!
Seriously, what recovery are you using? If it is Bonsai recovery then that is your problem. It is not working well with EI22 ROMs. Install either CWM 3.1.0.1 or the official 5.0.2.7 which is now supported by ROM Manager (in the market). Flash the zip file found in the 5.0.2.7 thread in development, download ROM Manager and click install clockwork and select Samsung Epic 4G and you should be fine.

Epic Touch Blog: Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc
Utility for CM9 Epic Touch
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Gingerbread EL29 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
Update Profile.
Update PRL.
Sprint Activation.
Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
This should be helpful to users of any AOSP-based ROM including CM9, AOKP, etc.
Thanks to noobnl and mkasick for making this possible!
Really nice thanks a lot.

Its for AOSP roms. You currently can't update PRL/Profile, activate your device, or use dialer codes on them so this temporarily allows you to boot stock el29 off the SD card without changing your current rom. You can do what i said from there. Saves you time from doing backups, restoring, etc.

3. I flashed boot_EL29.zip at location /emmc/multiboot/EL29 and received the following messages that appear to be correct.

At this point I expected the phone to reboot into the temporary rom; however, it just shows the standard recovery menu. No reboot occured.
5. Because no automatic reboot occured, I selected "reboot system now" from CWM. Unfortunately this just brings me back into directboot CWM.

When done updating prl/profile, etc. Just reboot your phone and it will take you back to cwm recovery. From there you can either just reflash the rom or just a compatible kernel so it boots.

While, its not necessary to update your recovery, its nice to have the latest versions of any software, including recoveries. Bug fixes are typically ironed out in the latest version. In the case of CWM, Darkside scripts are no longer required. To update your recovery, download the zip, and flash it in your current recovery. Then reboot your recovery, or your phone. When you go back to your recovery, the new one will be there.
Make sure the recovery is for our phone

Yeah I heard that. I did a backup of the IMEI and used Terminal dd if= command to push the recovery image without issue. I have always been more comfortable with CWM than TWRP personally.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. When "pushing" the recovery image to the phone you open terminal and do dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img(whatever the filename is of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 using root.
See my post above about the IMEI backup.
Rom manager is not good for flashing ROMs. I used it to get recovery updated ( from free version ) and flash rom manually.

I bought Rom Manager app and I downloaded clockworkmod recovery version 6.0.2.3 on my T-mobile S3.... I started flashing CM 10.1 mods a couple weeks ago and I just recently read about other people bricking their phones using Rom Manager to flash roms. Is it safe for me to use Rom Manager to flash the latest CM 10.1 updates? (I don't want to brick)
Thanks!

Hey there, I am totally new to flashing ROMs and have been exclusively using ROM Manager to flash several new ROMs as I try them out to see what I like.
My experience has been very good. I did have a problem trying to flash LiquidSmooth ROM onto my TMO, ended up having to Odin back to stock and then reroot...but I chalked that up to my own stupidity at having not flashed the Gapps, and thereby locking myself out of Google Play Store and other needed stuff.
Whatever you do, just make sure you backup. I even have made and then flashed backups from ROM Manager...so my experience has been good.
Good luck whatever you decide to do
I've been using Rom Manager (across several phones) since it came out, and never had a problem with it. I personally prefer CWM Touch over TWRP, maybe just since I've been using CWM for so long. As far as GooManager.... that thing annoys me to no end. If you're worried about the app causing problems though, I would just download the updates then reboot into recovery and flash from there.

Exactly what I do. Only flash the recovery through rom manager but reboot into recovery yourself if your flashing a rom. If the developer says to wipe, well please do yourself a favor and wipe. Titanium backup will make your life simple as well.
