Trying to download roms - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I always used to be able to download any files I wanted to my phone but lately the past week or so, when I try to download any modem. Zips or rom. Zips it fails download and tells me that the file is not supported on your phone.. I know that's not the case so I'm wondering if any of you have ran into this problem and if so how do I remedy it?

Use another browser besides the stock one

...or try the Download All Files app.

Really? I could have sworn i was able to do it on stock browser

Dolphin hd will allow any file download.

Lost clockwork mod, don't know what to do....

To start things off, let me just say that I just installed the stock eh17 rom and put the AIO mod on top of it and this is the best looking and most stable that my phone has been since making the leap to gingerbread. However....the AIO mod wiped out CWM recovery for some reason and reverted me to stock. As far as I can tell I'm still rooted, I did the terminal test, I have SU, and wireless tether for root users which works fine....but no CWM.
Now I know most would say just odin it back but here in lies my second problem which probably deserves a thread of its own but ties in with this one. My pc just up and stopped recognizing my epic. I have 3 different cables two crap samsung and a better one, none of which work in ANY of my ports. I just odin'd EH06 like a week ago, but still I have tried updating my drivers with no avail. My device manager does not recognize or list my android device at all, I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, I have rebooted both devices several times and still get nothin. The only thing that I remember chaning between when it worked and when it didn't was I flashed an ext4 rom...could that be it? I've tried going back and it still doesn't work....
Anywa...deep breath...my main question is, is there a way to get CWM back on a rooted, deodexed, supuer user granted phone? Or am I screwed in that department? I guess on the bright side if I can't mod my phone anymore, at least its stable and looks good.....

Sometimes you can have 2 recoveries at one time. Have you tried 3 finger boot and rom manager to get into recovery?

So what do you get when you three finger into recovery? Stock recovery?
I get stock recovery and I have tried rom manager to no avail.....I also tried downloading it and running it as a update zip but it said the signatures were bad...

Yeah, you can only use signed update.zips. If no computer recognizes your phone then nothing will get CWM recovery back on. ADB needs to see your phone. if you have done the whole different cables, different ports, new drivers thing then you are mostly screwed. There is an EH17 Update.zip in development you can try.

Well crap....until this point I thought it might not be too bad...I love the setup I have now and I haven't had a reboot or FC in 24 hours time...that is, until I tried to edit my contacts...they're not there!! Not just my conacts, the whole contacts app!! This really sucks...

Hey, try running the Samsung 1.3.08 driver pack in XP Service Pack 3 Compatibility Mode (via Rclick>Properties over the msi or exe file in Win7). Once installed just close. Then go to the [Guide] [Recovery] [Heimdall] Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1 Purple Heimdall Epic thread here in Epic Android Development section.. Down and install Heimdall and run the driver pack (you may have to run PDANet as well). This is only the only way I can get reconnected in DL mode once my drivers go bat-****, which for some reason they do about every 6 weeks.
And after Heimdall recognizes your Epic, you can just shut it down and use Odin for your tar-balling fix if that is your fancy because after that Odin will COM your Epic again as well.
PM me if you need help on this, I am up till 2am most nights
If you are still on GB, only flash the recovery. Otherwise you are safe to flah kernel as well.
As far as all the driver crap
Heimdall has it's own driver pack to install. And is more robust. You will be able to install just the recovery this way. I used it to swap out Bonsai recovery with CWM 3.1.0.1.

Anyone have a link to CWM tar file?

The link in the other forum is dead. It's titled "eg30plus-1.1.0.0.tar" i think.
I can't upload the file on here. What's your email? I can send you it because it's like 8MB and this forum only allows up to 7MB I believe.
PM sent. thanks!
You don't want to use that kernel, I have released two far better solutions since that kernel.. stock repack, and LoStKernel..

i ended up flashing just CWM and using the kernel that came with Calukin's ROM (2.6.35.8-LoStKernelExp+) Is that the same as the Lostkernel you mentioned?
CWM tar file I can use for epic 4G SPH-D700
Hello everyone I need a CWM tar file I can use for epic 4G SPH-D700 (via ODIN). Everytime I run into a post the links go nowhere are either invalid , no longer there or take me to other websites that include bull**** sites. Even got the Microsoft website that says I need to call them immediately.
I had rooted my phone once but no longer can I now have 3e recovery that doesn't have a way to turn off file verification....just four options no advanced options
Are there any other CWM's that can be used as is with ODIN that don't need to be unzipped?
Please send to me

Link for downloading update from google servers

Has anyone seen a link for downloading the update directly from google? I remember on the original epic there was usually a download link posted within hours. I have been waiting for one to show up here but haven't seen one yet.

Pardon this noob question but... you do need odin to install this zip file right?!

No, you install it from STOCK recovery (not CWM recovery)
And this is just like what is pushed from sprint? Another dumb question but I'm not rooted and want to make sure I'm OK.

It's not "just like" it is "exactly" the same URL your Sprint phone is using to download.
Yes, it will work fine for an unrooted phone. If all you did was root using the auto root thread, it would work fine too.
Call me a noob when it comes to phones but I was finally able to find directions on sprints community board on how to manually update to 2.3.6... Here it is...
Download the first link for stock phones here: http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php/3459-ACS-How-to-Manually-update-to-EK02-Android-2.3.6! You can watch the video or do this: rename the downloaded link to "update.zip" (without quotes) move it to your external SD card turn off phone turn on phone while holding power button and volume up button until you boot into the recovery mode press volume down once, then hit the "home" button select update.zip and hit home button when its done, reboot the phone by choosing reboot the phone in the recovery mode.

On a side note... I updated to 2.3.6 from fully stock e4gt.. no root access, or custom roms, no clockwork mod either...

Congrats on the new phone.... the easiest way that i came across with is with qbking77's method... He guides you and explains fully for a easy root.... Once rooted and think you need a change, you must try stunnersteve's ROM... Odexed blue........ It's a piece of work in itself... No issues with it...
Anyway... Here's the link to root by qbking77... Not affiliated with neither guys...

Just got mine too. This is exactly what I had to do. I had a little trouble getting it to recognize my phone. If you have Win7 64 bit, make sure you install the drivers in the Program Files (x86) directory. Also, I had to run the included version of ODIN before connecting the phone, and also had to put the phone in DL mode before I connected it.
Just watch the video guys.... Qbking77 has a video on using odin as well...

Thanks for the help folks. Happy to say followed the links and got root with odin and got hotspot working.Happy camper. Came from EVO 4G and really like this phone but but still trying to get used to not having sense.

Problem loading CyanogenMod 9

Used a modified version of ODIN 3 to root with stock ROM, then used the latest regular ODIN to load the latest version of CWM recovery (version 5.0.2.7?). Downloaded CyanogenMod 9 for epic 4g and galaxy s2. checked the md5, but neither will load. I boot into recovery mode, select the zip file from my sdcard, the load begins, but then after 30-40 seconds I get an image of the android guy laying down with his stomach open to a keypad with a red astrick. Anybody else had this problem? Anybody know which of the two roms I should actually be using?
You need a version for epic touch 4g. Neither the epic 4g nor galaxy s2 will work. You are lucky you didn't brick

Yep, found the alpha version but I still had to load a different version of cwm. I'll post links to the directions I followed later today.
