Just S-OFF'd and rooted my wife's Inc2. Does anyone know if it is ok to use ROM Manager to flash Clockwork Recovery after using the Revolutionary tool to install their custom Clockwork Recovery? The reason I want to is because ROM Manager doesn't seem to recognize the Revolutionary CW Recovery that their tool installs.
Does it work? Will it ruin recovery? What's the story?
Revolutionary doesnt push SU unless they updated it to. And you need root to flash recovery with rom manager. If you cant get recovery installed with revolutionary, youll have to install it with fastboot.

Thanks Times,
I used their tool which (after S-OFF) pushes a custom clockwork recovery which I then used that to flash SU onto it. But now I was wondering if it was ok to use ROM Manager to push a clockwork recovery that it could recognize. But it looks like Beenz was able to with success, just looking to see what others have done or know.
Thanks!
I also have the CWM installed by Revolutionary. In ROM Manager, go to menu --> manual flash override. I've been using it with no problems without having to reflash CWM. The only drawback is that every time ROM Manager starts up, it tells me that there is an newer version of CWM available. Not the end of the world.
So reflash or don't, works either way.
Thanks xenakis.

Is there a place where I can find all the kernels made for this device?
I just want to be able to restore backups.
But I'll need the kernels correct? Or is that cooked into the boot.img?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Can you make a backup using stock recovery?

This link here has most of kernels and modems

EL 26 CWM This is the preferred kernel/recovery you should use to flash/wipe/etc. For the moment it is advised to avoid doing any wiping in ICS based recoveries which means anything that is FB##
Link for updated cm9 kernel by darchstar flashable thru odin or mobile odin only
AOSP Kernel AOSP kernel by TCP good for AOKP, not recommended for CM9 since it might break root.
Ok. So if I want to restore say an ics rom.
Could I flash the rom then restore data through stock recovery?

Recovery is baked in to the kernels. You may not restore an ics backup with a gb recovery and vice versa. To go from ics to gb, Odin el26 and restore a gb rom or wipe and flash something new. To restore an ics rom, from either gb or ics, Odin an ics kernel (immediately boot into recovery) and restore your ics backup. I believe most are using rogue fd02 for that.

To back up and restore ICS rom.
1. Flash el26 cwm, either thru odin or mobile odin (recommend getting mobile odin app so worth it)
2. Boot into recovery by holding volume + and power
3. Perform back up or perform restore which ever one you want to do
4. If you are restoring an ICS nand make sure you flash an ICS kernel after the restore is complete or it wont boot. If you forget to flash the kernel don't panic just power off and hold volume + and power again and you should go back into el26 cwm recovery.

Why el26 and not el29? Confused on this.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
El26 is CWM and the el29 is rogue. There seems to have been a lot less bricks using the CWM.
El26 was the last true clockworkmod produced for our phones

Have no idea what you are trying to do. Flash kernel, flash ROM, flash Modem, create backup etc....
The stock E4GT does NOT come with CWM. If you want CWM on the stock ROM you can use EL26 or the EL29 (Rogue too) CWMs.
These can be installed via Mobile Odin or sfhub's Autoroot package.
I suggest you do some really serious reading and then do some more reading about how to mod this phone. Otherwise you will end up with an expensive paperweight.
Best and safest place to start is sfhubs EL29 stock rooted, then use his autoroot package to add EL29+CWM+Rogue recovery.
Also don't user ROM Manager OR a 'touch' recovery - you will brick your phone.
Again please read extensively before you brick your phone.
I have root I'm running aokp I have flashed many roms and what not but I just can't boot into recovery (cwm) without using Odin and flashing kernal first then I can

You have to use odin, mobile odin to flash kernels. In odin you have to hold power and volume down first then volume up to get into download mode.
I know how to get into cwm while using Odin never used mobile Odin but like if I shut my phone off and try to boot into cwm I can't

I guess I'm not understanding you completely. Your definitely booting into stock recovery. How exactly are you flashing the el26 kernel?
Send me a pm and I'll explain more to ya if you thank you
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium App
AOKP and other ICS ROms typically do not include a custom recovery due to the high risk of bricks. That is why you are unable to get back to cwm. Read the OP of the AOKP thread carefully or you will have an expensive paperweight. On AOKP, you have to Odin EL29 with cwm in order to use recovery safely, then flash an AOSP kernel before rebooting to Android.
As stated... if you flashed an ICS ROM/kernel from a GB CWM setup then CWM won't be there. If you're sure it's still installed and just can't get to it then try downloading "QuickBoot" from the market (it's free) and try the "recovery" option.. maybe that'll work.
Even if you're on an ICS ROM and try to get to CWM you should still get to a stock recovery....
I just rooted my ET4G and I am wanting to install CM9 but i am sort of comfused. Am I still supposed to flash EL26 kernel via odin before I do!? Or do I just straight download and flash ROM + Gapps? With this kernel/recovery... I installed team rouge CWM that the guide shows any help thatnks!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yes odin/mobile odin to el26+cwm. El29 has rogue repack recovery which can brick when flashing to or from ICS. EL26+cwm was the last kernel to have official cwm recovery.
Here's a link to stockcwm-el26.tar.md5: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

Yes, but when you flash a new rom the kernel is replaced with whatever kernel is included in the rom. So you will have to reflash the el26cwm kernel every time before switching to a new rom. ICS roms won't boot with the kernel, so when switching from ICS to ICS or ICS to GB you will have to hold power+volume up as soon as phone starts to reboot to get into recovery.

I would also suggest having the rom/gapps/kernel you want to flash already downloaded and on your phone before going to el26cwm kernel once your on any ICS ROM.

sfhub one click that solve ur problems
I flashed aokp not knowing cwm would return to stock 3e
So so far I downloaded root exp apk astro file and gapps. I extracted and installed gapps via root explorer.
Now I have the market.
I downloaded Mobil Odin pro.
What's my options now to get a safe cwm recovery or one that I can flash from the phone in order to get some cwm back so I can then nandroid back to stock ics.
Any links to aokp cwm tar file or even a rooted kernel or stock ics rooted rom.
NEED SAFEST WAY TO DO ALL THS FROM MOBIL ODIN while on this aokp junk
I failed to flash gapps before reboot into the aokp but I knew I could get the market back via root explorer

Always flash gapps right after you flash the ROM. But here is what you're looking for: the GB Stock EL26 CWM5 kernel. Here is a link for the .tar.md5 that you can Mobile Odin: http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/Kern.../Chris41g/Stock CWM/TAR/EL26_StockCWM.tar.md5
This kernel is ONLY for recovery. Do not try to run it on your ROM. Only use it to flash.

NP, glad to help. What I meant that it is a GB kernel so it won't run on ICS (your phone won't boot up). It's only meant for using recovery
When i flashed the el26 i restored my nandroid from that recovery and booted into my stock ics touchwiz which also apparantely had AGAT RECOVERY backed up.. So now recovery is once again agat
.. That was a strange mess.. Certain i was gonna brick ... I almost just flashed the stock ff18 tar but glad the recovery let me restore to ics nandroid
