[Q] ICS ACS Recovery - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

If I'm on an ICS ROM and back up on the new ACS recovery do I no longer have to go back to EL26 to flash a new ICS ROM?
What has and has not worked for people using the new ACS Recovery?

I think it's pretty safe, if you are upgrading your current rom or moving from one ICS TW-based rom to another. Ex: going from Calkulin FE22 to agat63 tFE22, probably should flash Calkulin's Format-all script, but flashing the rom should be fine. I would follow instructions in OP and not use it with AOSP/AOKP roms.

I personally have not dared to try backup or restore yet, but I have flashed quite a few tweaks and even 1 that wiped the cache... no brick so far.
I would stay away from factory reset wipe data/cache until it is confirmed fixed.

If you're going to flash a aosp rom I would definitely use el26 first just to be safe.

El26 all the way. Don't risk bricking your phone to save a minute doing it the guaranteed safe way.

A little ICS flashing help

A bit confused...
I'm on CM9 alpha 1 and want to get to alpha 2
The CM9 install page says to just use CWM5 to flash the ROM and I dont have to wipe anything...
But I see several things that seem to say flashing ICS stuff through CWM can brick the phone...
Some clarification please?
number 1 do not use rom manager!
number 2 it safe to flash using clockwork mod, upgrading ics roms. but to go back to gingerbread you need to use Odin.
at least that's what I understand. if I'm wrong someone please correct me

Ok, that's sort of what I was thinking but I think I'll wait for at least another person to confirm... since you didn't sound real sure of it.. but thanks for the input
im on calks rom and to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 i only deleted the cache and dalkiv (sp?) cache and installed the rom and worked great.

It's not safe to do any thing with a ics kernel .even wiping data cache etc can brick a phone ..... Always use A GB kernel to flash anything until we get source and they can fix it.... U can use mobile Odin to flash the el26 cwm kernel and then flash the rom without wiping data .... Make sure to flash rom twice and then flash gapps and you are good ....

AOSP roms are quite a bit different then TW roms . Also I don't recommend wiping on ICS unless you like shiny bricks

Are you saying dont wipe anything while you have an ICS ROM installed... or just don't try to wipe when you have the ICS recovery installed?.. Like if I have an ICS ROM installed and flash back to an EL29 kernel, I can wipe then right?

yes in theory with a gb based kernel you should be able to wipe but I personally recommend odin'ing a full gb from and kernel then using recovery. I also recommend using calk's wipe zips because they seem to be much safer than CWM wiping directly.

Yeah, restoring data through an ICS Recovery is highly un-recommended. So Odin back to GB, flash a Custom Recovery then restore.
Can I go from ICS to ICS or do i have to go back to GB before going to another ICS rom?

You'd have to do the same thing. Restore both GB and ICS from GB.
Yeah. If you're on an ICS ROM. I wouldn't recommend flashing anything without Odining back to stock first. I also would never wipe data while on ICS. That is what caused mine to brick was wiping data while on an ICS ROM. I haven't done either since and so far I have had good luck and no problems. Plus, going back to pure stock first ensures you have a good flash and minimal issues.

I don't want to sound like I'm over-riding what these guys are saying, because I'm sure they are correct, but I have been going back and forth between sfhub's one click CL29 and calkulin's ICS FD02 ROM without any problems using my nandroids with CWM. But maybe I've been getting lucky, as I was doing it before reading what they posted above. But I've also not experienced any of the other issues everyone else has been having on the ICS ROM's.

Going from Blazer ICS Rom to AOKP ICS Rom

I have my rooted E4GT and the Blazer ICS Rom is installed on it at the moment. I kinda want to try and switch to AOKP's latest build and try it out, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since they clearly stated not to flash from ICS to ICS.
Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what I should do in order to make the switch to AOKP?
Links to both ROM's respective threads:
AOKP Build 40
Phantom's Blazer Rom
Thanks for your time.
You can just Odin the el26 cwm (sorry don't have the link to it on my phone) and flash AOKP from there.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
This is my method, it is 99.9% safe. You can also re-use it to go from other ROMs to any other ics ROM.
Download these drivers
Download this: OC ODIN File for EL26 and this: E4GT Root Utility
Using Titanium Backup, make a backup of all your stuff, or use your preferred back-upper, just not nandroid. I recommend buying the Pro version, because it will save you so many times, and the dev is great. It's a little expensive though for an app.
OC Odin back to EL26. The good thing about this is, the process is straight forward, and doesn't add to your flash counter, and does not yellow triangle either.
Open up e4gtauto-sfx.exe, option C, then I. This gives you CWM, And just in case, I do not recommend using other than standard CWM to flash ICS roms. but that's me.
When your phone reboots, it should have CWM, and be rooted, just load up the AOKP files, do a data wipe, and flash.
Thank you both for the replies
Would I be able to use calkulins format all to do the wipes? Or does that only work for certain ROMS? It seemed pretty fool proof when I used it, so I was wondering if I could just use that again and it would work just the same? I don't want to forget something and brick my phone as a result
And I'll look into titanium backup, thanks for the suggestion.

For ICS ROMs, I recommend to not use it, just do 1 system data wipe and you'll be fine.

Alright, but all I should need to do is install the EL26 + CWM and I can flash AOKP? I don't need to go back to a stock gingerbread ROM or anything, or will the OC EL26 CWM do that for me?
And you said you don't recommend calkulin's format all for ICS roms, but that's what I was told to use for the Phantom Blazer ICS rom when I was flashing it?
Also, one more question; what is "flash count" and is it a bad thing? I'll do some googling on it myself, but I'd like to hear your explanation because I don't always understand people's ways of describing things and usually take weird explanations to understand so yours would still be much appreciated just in case, thanks. ^_^

You just need to be on a safe recovery.... if you wipe data in an unconfirmed recovery you can cause a brick. Either use the el26 that all use or the el29-reboot kernel. Both will work no matter what you install regardless of you install (granted you flash a working rom). I prefer the el29 because you install via mobile Odin and it boots straight to safe CWM recovery.

Hmm, alright, sounds good.
Also, which data's do I need to wipe? Dalvik cache and there's one other I believe?

Safe Recovery?

Greetings,
I've goofed around with rooting, and flashing kernels and modems so far with my device, but now I want to get into looking at different ROMs.
I keep seeing that it's critical to use a "known safe kernel/recovery" to avoid bricking, however very little information about what those safe kernels are.
I'd like to try the Re-Calked ROM. Would Agat's FI27repack with recovery be a safe kernel to use for this ? That's what I've currently got on my device.
So sorry for a noob question, but I've had a hard time figuring out a definitive answer for this as information seems to become outdated quickly, and it's difficult to determine what supersedes what.

fi27 is the latest build.. agats is safe but most would reccomend using el26cwm kernel.. its a gb kernel so you would need to odin/mobile odin it then have rom on sd card or internal storage already and go into recovery do your wipes it requires then flash ur rom

Just to clear any confusion, it was not the Fi27 repack. It was a combination of Fi25 repack and going to an aokp build.
Let's try to keep this clear to avoid any undue misconceptions by posting references without making blind statements.
If there IS a reference to a Fi27 issue, please reference it.
And as always - When in doubt, use EL26.

I only use el26 to wipe and flash, the only thing I flash from "safe" ICS recoveries in the el26zip and then reboot recovery. I've been too lazy to use mobile Odin lately so started just flashing el26 via recovery only wiping cache and dalvik before install. I've had issues with cwm 6 hanging while doing backups

All ics roms require an ics kernel
But yes you can flash an ics rom with the el26 kernel (just boot straight into recovery) when you flash the ics rom of your choice the kernel is already included; so after you flash everything, the ROM shall boot

I'm a little confused lol.. I mean you don't have to flash an ics kernel and then an ics rom.. Unless is the *rare case the ROM you are trying to Flash doesn't have a kernel included... But you do need an ics kernel to. Boot an ics rom so maybe that's what was meant?
And these random reboots.. Have you tried a fresh install wiping data... Cache.. Dalivk cache

I use Calkulins Format All with data wipe. After I flash the ROM then it boots up and I set my phone up and as soon as I make a call or browse the web my phone reboots. So what I just did was odin back to Fh13 then install el26 cwm using mobile odin. Then I flashed. Agats FI03 then I flashed crawrj fi27 rom. Now waiting to see if it reboots.

In the future I would try wiping manually, I've heard some users have issues using those wipe all scripts.. But some don't.. So I guess it's just a case by case type of thing
And if the reboots keep happening I would do a fresh install of another rom just to see.. Assuming you like the stock look I recommend you to take a look at recalked..pretty nice rom

Yeah like Miguel said try wiping manually, from a "safe" recovery. I personally prefer el26+cwm. I've had issues with the wipe all scripts not grabbing everything. I typically wipe manually then flash a format all x2 script from rujules then flash my rom and gapps then wipe cache and dalvik again then boot to system. Then after system boots I go back to recovery and install my inverted gapps after my account is set up and any mods I wanna install wiping cache and dalvik before and after and i rarely have issues with FCs or reboots. Usually I get em from testing something that ends up not being compatible :thumbup:

[HOW TO]How To Perform a Successful Nandroid Back Up and Restore On Twiz Jelly Bean

How To Perform a Successful Nandroid Back Up and Restore Using Mobile Odin And Agats FK23 CWM repack on these Jelly Bean Leaks​I've had a LOT of confusion as to how to do this and several people saying they will wait to get in on this jelly goodness cause they're nervous about a backup. I've done this SUCCESSFULLY over 50 times and no problems yet... not a single bootloop and kept all my mods. So, This is how you can perform a successful nandroid back up and restore to your Jelly Bean Rom.. This is ONLY for Jelly Bean and Not if you are running ICS or GB.
To Create a Nandroid Back Up on Jelly Bean
1.WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING JELLY BEAN... Mobile odin Agat's Repacked FK23 kernel to obtain a JB recovery.
2.Select Back UP/ and Restore. - Back up
3. Let it run the back up and reboot. Rename to something that lets you know that its a JB back-up.
To Create a Restore Back to Your JellyBean Setup
After making a Jelly Bean Backup, Lets say you want to go back to ICS or you want to flash another Jelly Bean Leak, But you're just LOVIN the way you have it set up on this JB Black Bean and kinda leary about flashing something else without a back up of this sweet set up? Here's how to do it...
1. Get to a ICS or GB kernel with either Mobile Odin, PC Odin, or CWM zip.
2. After Wiping everthing, flash your ROM or flash your ICS restore point. Reboot phone as normal. Run your Rom..now back to JELLYBEAN.
3. WHILE YOU ARE RUNNING ICS...TO RESTORE..
a)boot into ICS recovery
b) wipe cashe, dalvik cashe, Factory Data Reset..
c) flash Either STOCK JB or THEMED .. JB Black Bean with Jelly ROM
d) when ROM finishes flashing reboot.. but no need to sign into Google.. we're about to do a restore.. Just click No to all of Google's questions, give them your name.. and hit finish. Now go to your "my files" in the app drawer, select ext. sd... navigate to where you have the Mobile Odin and Mobile Odin Flash kernel and install both. Then go back to the app drawer and open Mobile Odin. Select Kernel and navigate to where you have Agats FK23.tar or zip and flash it with Mobile Odin. reboot.
e)boot into JB recovery. go to backup/restore. -restore - select your JB restore point - yes ... let the restore run.... reboot.
You Just did a Successful Back Up and Restore on Jelly Bean without losing recovery ... for very long. Now if you feel the need but its not necessary, you can re flash the STOCK JB FK23 kernel.
While you are on JB..
Make SURE you are on the same CWM Agat FK23 JB kernel that you made the BackUp and do your Restore.
Hey Jay, can this reject get a sticky one time??
So the only one that would work is agats fk23 repack if running jellybean? So that's why it wouldn't work been doing it with el26 and fi27.

Thats correct. Just lik on a AOSP/CM kernel and ROM if you were to make a back up on CM for example you would restore with that same CM kernel. The same is true with JB to /ICS/GB. You have to be running a JB kernel. Since Agats Kernel is the only repack we have... even tho the JB kernel may have a couple issues being repacked, its the same recovery. We've all trusted this same recovery on ICS for some time now and its a good recovery on JB too
After reading that whole thing (yes, people still read the whole thing), these replies look so tiny, lol. Good work, man!

You must flash the jb rom "fresh" i.e. wipe cashe.. dalvick.. factory data reset by either odin oc (wipes everything) or from a gb/ics kernel prior to mobile odining agats repack fk23 and performing the restore.

You must flash the jb rom "fresh" i.e. wipe cashe.. dalvick.. factory data reset by either odin oc (wipes everything) or from a gb/ics kernel prior to mobile odining agats repack fk23 and performing the restore.

No no no.. odin OC the fk23 jb rom or fresh install the JB rom u want i.e. wipe cashe.. dalvik..and factorydata reset FROM a gb or ics cwm KERNEL.. ( basically the jelly bean rom needs a fresh install) then after you install jb fresh.. mobile odin agats fk23 repack kernel and perform the restore. You gotta be on jb with the jb repack to restore.

Try using a repack that isn't a JB kernel.. like GB EL26 stock CWM. JB repacks aren't playing well at the moment.

Naw that especially won't work with jb. It has to be a jb repack running jb. If you have an error and you are running a JB repack on JB, make sure that you
A) have a mounted sd card preferably external
B) enough memory on the sd to do the back up. I would keep 2gb at least. JB is much bigger than ics or gb.
B) the repack kernel is JB.
If it still gives you the error try rebooting back into JB recovery while running JB and try the backup again. Lemme know if you're v still having issues. I just did a back up and restore to and from ics yesterday.

I've been backing up and restoring JB using GB EL26 stock repack with no issues. After restoring my JB setup, I flash stock JB kernel and all is well. I've had JB kernel repacks give error on backup as well as restore.
