[Q] How did my recovery change? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So, strangely enough, I went to boot into recovery this morning and my rogue hit man recovery got changed to the CWM 5.8.1.5. I definitely did not flash that and had to troubleshoot it because it would keep booting to that recovery. I got it fixed but why would it get changed without me flashing it? I am running Caulkin's Rom and have not done anything with the recovery since I flashed it. Some advice on how to avoid this is the future would be nice. and I am not using Rom Manager

I'm a flash-a-holic, and have come across a couple of Kernels that have their own recovery versions included. Off the top of my head, Phoenix and Siyah come to mind. If you recently flashed a Kernel, there is your answer.
Not sure what else could have caused your issue, but it will be interesting to see what other members have to say.

I have not flashed any kernels or recovery other than rogue's hitman. The phone just reverted back to CWM 5.8.1.5 again. I may try a new rom after I reflash the rocovery

Stop using hitman! Its bricking phones right now because somethings wrong with the original touch recovery. Switch to an old rouge recovery right away.

OK, thanks.
It has done soft bricks on my phone when I go into recovery it would go to the CWM 5.8.1.5. At that point the recovery would keep rebooting to that recovery without letting me control it. I found that if you hit the home button a bunch of times it would boot back into the ROM, just fyi.

+1,00000000 on this. Avoid hitman like a fat kid avoids salad. I don't know why that mod is still active.

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.

Has anybody successfully flash cwm from rom manager or boot into recovery from rom manager?
This is good news! Koush is obviously working on support. Cool!

Still good because rom manager allows you to select quick backup and restore which speeds thing up.
I have sussessfully flashed with rom manager. I can boot into recovery from a cold boot but if i do reboot to recovery from rom manager it will start to flaash something amd stop a quarter ways... I made a bold move and did a battery pull and it booted into recovery fine from the cold boot

Really? Still didn't work for me... I just went into rom manager, flashed cwm and then selected reboot into recovery and when it rebooted I got the box with the arrow then the triangle with the "!" In it.
I'm fully stock(kernel and rom) just rooted.

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.

OK Rogue is a derivative of Clockwork and with that said before you rooted you should of done some more research. What you should do is look for calkulins format all zip and flash it then flash the rom again. Also download another version of the rom just incase you have a corrupted zip.
Lastly try not to do anything else until you do some more research.... Quite a few stickys that can help you....

Hi i used the wrong recovery to backup my Samsung epic touch and now all I get is a blue light it won't start or boot to recovery or odin any help will be appreceiated. I'm using EL26 kernal to flash ICS roms I went to cwm touch recovery instead of rouge recovery and now I'm stuck.
I do also have the FE02 plus recovery I forgot to mention that with having all my stress.
Sounds like another hard brick... Your only small hope would be in a usb jig and then a jtag service, but both might fail and you now have an expensive paperweight.

Try the manual method to get into download mode (copied from sfhub's TAR posts):
Code:
Method #1
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Without getting into download mode you're probably a victim of the eMMC lockup. But to know for sure, what kernel version were you on when you last tried a CWM restore or wipe?
I was using EL26 kernal. I should have booted into recovery manually but I used rom manager it booted me into cwm touch instead of rouge recovery. I was going to flash a new ICS rom so I wiped everything and formated system and when I pressed reboot recovery, and rather then just going back it froze so I waited a bit then pulled the battery that's when it wouldn't do anything except the blue light.
I used the e4gtauto file to flash FE02+recovery. Which I understand is the one you need if you are flashing ICS roms but i used cwm touch before I realized it was the wrong recovery it was to late.
BTW it won't go into download mode

OK, the behavior - specifically that the phone froze and wouldn't respond until you pulled the battery - matches the eMMC lockup. Unfortunately yours appears to be locking up during the boot process which is why you can't get to download mode. Only way to fix is to take to Sprint for replacement.
Still curious how you did it though - and let's try our best to find it so that others don't suffer the same fate:

Can you link to the post containing the file you used to flash? I'm not aware of an FE02 build - maybe Agat's FF02 repack? And can you also include source of CWM touch if from a different ROM?
Sounds like he used CWM Touch on an ICS build. It flashed the recovery through rom manager, but the recovery isnt built correctly for our phones. Its a hard brick and will need to get a replacement. YOU HAVE TO USE A GINGERBREAD RECOVERY FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT

Yea even then he stated fe02? Isnt that an ics kernal and also used touch which neither is good for flashing a new rom.. either way people make mistakes and like said already you have a nice paperweight.. to sprint you must go lol

There's your culprit. Once you get it replaced you'll want to stick with GB or FF02 repack which was done with care to avoid triggering the lockup for now. Sorry you had to find out this way...

So you did this before the flash.. Do this.. Pull the battery, insert the battery, turn phone on and boot it into recovery (not into ROM) and flash the cache wipe script.. See if that works.
Am I correct in you saying the roms work and it just doesnt reboot properly?
ya when i hit reboot it vibrates once to power off but then it will vibrate one more time and show the samsung logo and black screen, need to pull battery to get out of it

Cwm 6.0.1.4 works for me I just prefer twrp. Moral of the story if you flash a recovery and have issues rebooting to it check the md5 (should do this with anything you flash) and re-flash in case it was a bad download or bad install.
Cwm when flashed from Odin always gave me issues until I did a dark side and reflashed.

At a loss with cwm

Hello,
So I've been rooted for a while now, i was going to install a custom rom but decided not to a few months ago. Tonight, i decided to install aokp, however my phone would not go into cwm, only stock recover. I could have sworn it was installed, but fine, so i installed it once again with auto reboot in odin checked, and it still wouldnt enter cwm. I then tried to install it again with auto reboot checked off so i could see if i could enter it without the reboot. I ended up getting into it, but then when i was taking a NANDROID, it just froze on one of the first steps. Fine, reboot, try to enter cwm again. Nope, just stock android recovery. I am sure im installing it correctly and pressing the right button combos. I am at a total loss for what is stopping me from being able to enter cwm. I hope you guys know/help me find whats going on.
Thanks!!!

maybe you didn't actually "root" your phone to begin with lol
are you sure you have "superuser" or "superSU" app?
anyways to get CWM or TWRP recovery you need
find a up-to-date CWM or TWRP (if i spell teamwin recovery correctly)
download it
put your phone in ODIN Mode (download mode) by power + vol down + home
flash the recovery
i personally think twrp is better
they just released a new version which support ExFat
and all you need is just use terminal on your phone to install it.

Stock ROM has a built in script that reloads standard android recovery when it boots. The only way to keep it is to keep Odin auto reboot unchecked, boot directly in and make your nandroid/flash custom. Once you are on a custom ROM CWM will stick.
On a side note TWRP is a very nice recovery and many people find it much easier to use. If you insist on CWM, make sure you have the latest version. You might need to flash CWM again if you had a bad flash. It shouldn't freeze up on a nandroid.
Many people never experienced this because they flashed during early ICS when the device was released. The change was an update just before JB was released which caused this little annoying script to appear.

Thankyou!! That makes sense ;p. When I did get to start making a nandroid last night but it froze, right before it froze it said the free space on my sdcard was 1612 mb (or something like that) This is wrong, I have the 16gb i747 so I have 11.95 gb of usable storage for apps and such, after deleting some big apps I have 4.93 gb available, my sdcard is a 16 gb sdcard which has 12.06 gb available. Do the math and I have enough room on my sdcard for a nandroid, so what could be causing cwm to freeze and report false information?

what version of CWM are you currently running?
you could always try to download GooManager or ROM Manager from the Play Store.
then from one of those, install the custom recovery, GooManager for TWRP or ROM Manager for CWM.

CWM is very very funny and one of the reasons I switched to TWRP was for stability
In my experience errors come up on restoring images when 1) you don't use the same version you backed up the image with 2) you don't get to CWM through the same method you used while making the image (ie through ROM manager with your phone on).

Holy hell! CWM 3.0 is still around? Like RP said, you're recovery is severely outdated.

That is a very out dated version as they are now up to version 6.0.2.3. I would try getting an updated CWM. that could very well fix your freezing/reporting problems...

This.
Also, I was a long time CWM touch user on my old NS. After using TWRP on this phone, I will never look back at CWM. TWRP is much more user friendly. Give it a shot OP unless you're adamant in using CWM. Again, update your recovery.
Download rom manager and update your cwm and then try making a nandroid again.

I was also a CWM user, but after I got my s3 and my first flash of CWM on the s3 hard bricked my phone, I decided to use TWRP. Little did I know I was missing out on what TWRP had to offer. I won't ever turn back to CWM again lol.
That said... If you insist in CWM, this is the guide I followed to get a successful CWM flash. (This was the CWM I was running successfully for the brief time TWRP disbanded.)

The above is for the ATT variant only. If you have a different variant and can't find the link, post back and I'll find it for you

apparently it's still around because new android users who want to root use those guides with outdated files
