Hi,
I'm thinking of taking the jump into CleanGB 1.05 MTD. Currently I have a rooted EI22 build. I'm going to update to the EI30 modem first but I'm unsure of the steps to get the CleanGB 1.05 build installed because of the change to the MTD filesystem. There is a how to video on the BML 1.03 page but I can't find anything on the MTD 1.05 build. From reading I think there are extra steps I need to take, or maybe the ROM does all the steps already.
Doea anyone have a link to a video, or instructions for loading the CleanGB 1.05 MTD ROM?
Thanks
JM
As long as you have ClockworkMod you are good to go. Most (I think all) MTD roms auto-convert for you. Then enjoy!
^^^^exactly... if you have cwm 5.0.2.7 you're good to go... if you're using acs recovery flash cwm first... all the roms do the work fo you...

Hey Noles, do you know what happens if you try to flash an MTD with CWM 3.XXX whatever? Does that also auto update to 5.0.2.7?

I would think so... but people have reported errors using acs recovery when trying to conver to mtd using that recovery... so 3.x.x.x may give you the same problems... never tried it though so I'm not 100% sure...
Edit- and after flashing an mtd rom and converting to mtd DO NOT flash another recovery... not even 5.0.2.7... the cwm that the mtd rom installs is the only recovery that works on mtd for our phones

MTD ROMs have their own MTD only version of CWM 5.0.2.7 that gets flashed with the conversion. Do not try to change it after converting..
It is also best to just update to CWM 5 before trying to convert. Just to be sure.

Hi,
just wanted to thank you guys for the help. I copied the CleanGB_MTD zip onto my SD card then used CWM to flash from card and presto... a few reboots later and now I'm running a new ROM. So far it seems to be going well.
Thanks again.

Sweet, found the perfect thread for my question
I'm running cleanGB Mtd 1.05, came from CM7. I have unsuccessfully tried to flash a few things, I have an epic ringtones zip I picked up somewhere along the way that gives you a ton more system ringtones, I also tried to flash some ei22 transparent mms themes....anyway, none worked. did the usual process, wiped cache, dalvik, and nada. Nothing there. At least they didn't cause any harm either.
Not sure why this is....my only guess was they were designed for bml ROMs? Thought i had a good understanding of bml/mtd in which case i didn't think it would really matter which partition I'm on for these flashable zips to work....any takers?

Pardon my ignorance KennyG, is this a necessary step I have to do manually every time I flash zips in MTD CWM? Something that never had to be done in CWM on BML... Please point me in the right direction if I am outta line here...or I know, I know...I should head right to search regarding MTD CWM and BML CWM...

Yes, and not a problem...I forget half the damn time and wonder why the changes to my theme are not showing up...LOL. You have to mount system anytime you want to flash something in MTD except ROMs and kernels...they seem to mount system for you. Restoring backups do not need system mounting either. MTD is still a new animal to us.
lol, we crossed posts, I was just editing that last one but you already were lightning fast on the reply. Thanks for that, and all that you contribute to the forum, I know your work well!

Does that mean that, once converted to mtd, a person can back up and restore freely?
I had been holding off on the mtd because i thought restoring a nandroid would be cumbersome. Something about changing all the ext4 to yaffs2 in order to make it work.

You can back up and restore your MTD ROM freely, even a way of using ROM Manager (ask me). BUT you cannot restore backups of BML ROMs without jumping through all those hoops that you hinted about.

I am sure I have forgotten to unmount as well....need some of that Chinkocobra or whatever it's called.
I'm going to hijack my own thread to ask this. I do not have enough posts to put this in the developers fourm which is probably a better place.
How do the custom ROM's for the EPIC4g (any phone I guess) come about? The few ROM's I've looked at seem to be one man operations (i.e. toadlife for the CleanGB I use). Clearly the CM effort is a larger team effort. I'm very happy with the CleanGB ROM after a few days of use but I'm looking forward to an ICS based phone. I don't think I'm brave enough to jump onto a release candidate so I'm probably not switching to CM9 RC0 any time soon.
So is the normal path of develpment for the CM team the first release a new ROM (CM7 for gingerbread, CM9 for ICS,..) and then do the other custom ROM developers take this as a starting point to do their thing? Now that CM9 RC0 is out should I expect to see a bunch of custom RC0 ROMs released in the next few weeks?
Thanks for the help. Oh and if you see Toadlife ask him when CleanICS-MTD is coming ;-)

As the title implies...
I was finally able to repack the Stock Pulled Kernel from bubby323 with a little help from mkasick, and add CWM5. thats the only change.
No root, no Busybox, nothing else. But I am appending zips to install those here in my post.
What's the point you might ask?
Well as everyone knows, the source released from samsung was some bull****... LoStKernel, makes the best use of that source and adds lots of tweaks, and in my opinion is the best compiled custom kernel available...
But, some people stand by the point that only the stock pulled kernel is free from LoS, or is the LoS is least Rampant for them in that kernel.. But they want CWM too!
Well here it is, the Kernel it self is untouched, only the initramfs has been modified.
Updated 10-23-2011:
Added CWM 5.0.2.6 from Koush
and made some initramfs changes to make it more compatible with Rom Manager in the future.
Updated 10-27-2011:
Updated to CWM 5.0.2.7 from Koush
added init.d support
Updated 10-28-2011:
Updated initramfs layout similar to Koush's mentioned here.
though this one doesn't include stock recovery because of repack space limitations..

just flashed over midnight 2.1, appears to still have root... will give it a shot... only had maybe 5 LoS in the 5 days ive been rooted, NONE before... hopefully this is the ticket, and the problem was sammys 'source code'... thanks for this!
Thanks guys. So to confirm, just flash the CWM.tar in ODIN and nothing else and i'll be fine? No loss of existing data and settings e.t.c?
Thanks for the kernel.
When will CM5 support nand backup/restore to usb storage?
ok, just used quickboot to get into cwm... sadly I forgot the salute for the touch, anyways, once in cwm it couldnt mount anything... got stuck when I selected mount usb, battery pull, power button, went to cwm, then rebooted itself, now seems ok... is this a quickboot issue, or did this kernel just not like my existing setup (midnight 2.1 installed as directed)? Kernel version says 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EG30-CL435734... just wondering if its user error or I need to reflash the kernel... did NOT wipe anything, as I thought w/ kernels it was unnecessary... everything else seems fine, Titanium reports the same busybox, SU, and root as before... just wondering if this worked... I know the changes are subtle... but just checkin

Flash zips from internal and external
Back up and restore from external.

I feel a little foolish asking this here, but I'm a new member, didn't find an answer in my searches and can't respond in the Clean GB thread.
I'm new to rooting and to installing ROMs but have had great success and happiness installing Toadlife's Clean GB ROM. In a recent post on his Clean GB BML thread, he mentioned that there is an "updater script" for his ROM that would allow a user to update to 1.0.3 without having to wipe all their data, but all I can find is the full version.
Is there a unique updater script for this ROM? Or do I just download the full version and will the updater script be included with that? (And if so, do I just install the zip from CWM recovery without doing a pre-ROM wipe?)
Any help y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated. Finding this forum has been a huge help to me.

When u were looking at his rom, did it mention anything about an updater script included in the changelogs? I don't really remember. Sorry.

Ok, I just read about the updated version, and there is no updater script in there. I think u can zip the update. I yet have to try it though.

Thank you for responding. When you say you can "zip the update", I'm not sure what that means. Is there a file that you've found that I could zip as an "update.zip" file?
Yes, when u click on the full version, it will download onto ur sd card as a zip file. So u basically just reboot into cwm and install the zip file.

BML is the partition table and RFS or EXT4 are the file systems.
so i shouldn't really have any worries updating this kernel then.... i just don't want functionality problems, thats all
Ver 1.0 of cleangb was bml/rfs based, so you are already in this mode. There is also a version which you may want to consider one day in the future in another thread (mtd), but for now, stick with what you know.

I think most of the BML kernels will work on either RFS or EXT4. In the install script they check to see which file system you have and install appropriately.

I made the jump to MTD this morning AM. I restored my Legendary 2.1 on MTD and flashed the MTD Shadowkernel. Zero issues and everything is so smooth on it. What issues are you concerned about?
As toad advertised, cleangb just #$%ing works. I see a lot of ppl move to mtd with no issues, but it doesn't give me anything I don't already have ... yet. Cool factor, sure, but I will hold out for that compelling reason before flashing. Maybe 1.0.4 or 5....or if I get bored one night. Lol

I understand that the best way to go about things is to first update the Clockworkmod to 3.1.x.x but what is an easy way to do this from 2.5.1.0? Do I have to go through the entire root process again just to update clockwork or do I have to remove my root entirely and start from scratch? What's the best way to go about this and how do you do it?

As for custom roms just go into development and pick on that you think you'll like read the included list and pick from that. Id suggest checking out legendary 2.2 as a starting point if you don't like the theme you can always flash one. As for a custom kernel check out the samurai kernel from earthbound. Make sure you get the TW.BML version not mtd.

The ROM does the conversion.... and EXT4 is for speed but RFS is more for reliablity not to say the ext4 isn't safe but its not as reliable as RFS. But it safe to use but I know very few people losing data because of undervolting but that was the only thing that caused it. However you need rfs then I can give you the zip to flash and convert it.

Rfs, because its still considered more stable. Ext4 still has stability issues, although considered faster.

Ok. Also, I made a complete backup with Mybackup Pro to my SD card and it works great! However, would it still restore everything If I'm on a different filesystem? I was also wonderung, since I'm on stock froyo, are you sure I can upgrade CWM 2.5.1.0 straight to 5.x.x.x? I heard there might be some issues with that.
Another thing, What ROM do you recommend to be the best. I do want certain features and was looking at the CleanGB and the Legendary ROMS. I basically want one that is fast, barely any bloatware, has the 3d app drawer, and the CRT animation. I also want it to have loopback so I could put Backtrack 5 on my phone just in case I need to use it.
Recovery is independent of the software version. I had cwm 5 on froyo before.

Use cwm not acs... acs is great but we have an officialy supported cwm for a reason. I strongly recommend you use our official cwm 5.0.2.7 and not acs

I've tried enabling the bluetooth both thru the pull down button and through the settings menu. It acts like it's starting to turn on, and then after a few seconds, just goes dark again.
Tried reboot. No luck.
Used ACS Recovery to do a pre-ROM wipe before flashing the new ROM.
Can't post in developers forum yet, so hopefully someone here can help. I read every page and every entry in the applicable forum for the ROM I flashed, but no one reported this problem or solutions.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to flashback to stock or whatever. I've seen plenty of helpful posts for other bugs in the ROM. Just nothing for this. HELP!
Thanks,

Backup that rom... flash a different rom... if bluetooth works then its that rom... btw I would strongly suggest not using acs recovery... use cwm 5.0.2.7... it is the officially supported recovery for our epics! Also acs does not play well with mtd roms so that may be your problem!

Get rid of ACS Recovery. It is not supposed to be used for MTD ROMs.

Bah humbug acs not play well with mtd blah!
I used it to convert to mtd when cyanogen first came and it worked just fine...... acs not the problem because even if he was on bml cwm5 before flashing he would have the same results.
Please stop blaming that recovery ^^

Maybe it worked for YOU but it is highly recommended to use CWM 5.027 to convert and note that if you want to convert and restore nandroid data it must come from 5.027.

Ah always better after you brighten my day Biggie...lol.
BTW you know software is what drives the hardware. So any flash can go wrong at some point whether Odin, CWM, ACS, or Bonsai Recovery. Just sayin'...LOL. How you been?

GRRRR.... oh me I'm good I see what your saying but how would be able to flat out blame that software for all you know it was the rom .... okay end of argument no reason to keep up this fiasco anyways I'm not saying to not use the official cwm I'm just saying you can't blame the issue on the recovery... I've had tons of bluetooth issues concerning kernels never the recovery

I agree...just trying to narrow down the possibilities. Probably just needed to delete some bluetooth data files. I forget which ones force the bluetooth database to rebuild.

BRICKED
Thank u all for the replies. I DID use ACS to do the pre-rom wipe, but I thought CWM got changed afterwards, somewhere in the process of flashing the new ROM, etc. Funny that several of you mentioned the possibility of that being the issue. I went to boot into recovery to check, and my phone bricked. #*(#@$%&. So, I had to odin back to stock and then root again, then use Titaniun just to get to my pre-ROM settings. I'm just gonna go without the custom ROM for now.

You mean sponged, not bricked. As long as there is life you are not bricked. Just grab the official CWM 5.027 and flash that. When doing conversions like that don't use ROM Manager and all should be well. When in doubt, wipe wipe wipe.
Installed CM9 and tried to go back, now I cant get anything to stick, cant install CM9 again just get errors in CW cant mount etc. Help please.
What did you do exactly please add more info
You might have to odin back to a stock package which I could do for you remotely if you don't have a stock data cable this will bring back to a fresh state then I could reroot you and this time you can flash it properly it was probably a bad download.

Installed CM9 from ERA and didnt like. Then tried to restore backup and phone hung at samsung screen. I reflashed acs recovery in odin and tried to reload ERA but i get error mounting cache. I am fine with CM9 but that wont install either.

Your not supposed to restore nandroids of bml on an mtd clockworkmod
I'm guessing you where on era's legendary rom? That's bml partition cm9 is on mtd partition that's why this happened.
You'll need to repartition and odin stock ec05 or el30 if you need el30 it can be found by toadlife if you need stock ec05 that's in the android development stickies at the top named "bring an epic back from the brink"
*note I can do this all for you in a matter of minutes*

Please read up on MTD before venturing to either MIUI, CM7, CM9 or any MTD listed ROM. It will save you some headaches.

I'm already running CleanGB MTD 1.0.5......
Just waiting for an EL30 MTD version ROM that I like to come out, I'm hoping Toad will update CleanGB........After CM9 gets more wrinkles ironed out I may try that......I use my phone for work & cannot afford to gamble on an Alpha build....
I keep up with Toad's post for CleanGB MTD the rom & try help when I can.
I really like MTD, it just takes a slightly different process when flashing mods, but seems fast & stable.

Just remember not to mix and max BML nandroids and ROMs while on MTD. And remember some times you have to mount system before flashing some themes and mods.
