You have to flash a diff kernel for a diff recovery, but you have to chose a compatible kernel config'd for CM9. The nightlies have the latest FF18, so you might be confusing that for the old one. Current version 5.5.0.4

Always the first thing on my OG Epic after a clean flash via Odin.

Anyone know how to flash this without ODIN? Also can't flash via cwm because of a "signature verification failed" error. I could

If I knew where the recovery was.

turn off sig verification, or unzip the cwm-flashable, and use DD to flash it
What kernel is this based on? I really like your recovery and I was wondering if I needed to flash the EK02 kernel again after updating to your recovery?
Potential mod, version, or port to the OG Epic!?...that new compatable ROM manager version just doesn't stick...I wind up in ACS CWM4 version and have to flash a zip everytime I want to use CWM5...smh

Its stock repacked EF02 with ACS Recovery. You flash this and you're all set unless I am in the wrong thread but I don't think I am. After you flash it, go to settings /about phone and check there

That should work just fine. Just think of the ACS Recovery as a streamlined version of CWM with quicker options to wipe

Anyone having issues with ADW Launcher EX after this is flashed? I flashed this and the Blazer ROM and am not sure what is causing my bootloops whenever I load ADW launcher EX onto my phone. Any help is appreciated. I am going to post this in that thread as well.

Any updates made to the recovery? On 1.0.0.0 wipe data does not appear to be working. Also when you backup to internal SD it skips android_secure because it is looking for it on internal SD.

That is strange indeed. Did you try wiping Cache partition and Dalvik cache and reflashing the zip?

*Touch Recovery Causing BootLoops*

Hey Everyone
I opened this thread because I wanted to warn everyone that Touch Recovery made ALL my flashed ROM's bootloop, AND all my ported ROM's that worked, made them bootloop as well.
Sorry to hear that. Have never had a negative experience with touch recovery.

No problems here. Been using it for a while now
The only problems Touch Recovery gave me was properly flashing some ICS roms, and not properly flashing the CM9 Alpha. I was using the custom touch recovery, though, v5.5.0.4 beta 14.

I use the official Touch Recovery installed from CWM app the day it came out and updates and all. Never have had an issue.
Flashed GB roms, ICS Roms. Cm 7. Restored, backedup.. and so on.
I don't get why it causes some people issues.

[Q] TWRP 2.3.1.1 issues

Noob problem
Every time I try to flahs a new rom i get errors.
in wipe and install its getting (E:Unable to mount '/efs')
Now i switched from CWM recovery to TWRP for the reason that their latest update gave me to much trouble and ive been flashing roms on my sgs2 since gingerbread..
I'm not trying to cause problems just trying to get a fix on the situation.
I can always restore back to my last backup but im a flashaholic and sucks that im stuck on the same rom for so long
please help and its ok if i get flamed as long as i get a solution
From the top of my head, I would suggest to downgrade
the TWRP to ver. 2.2.2.0
Try that and see how it goes.
Good luck!

Flashed and backed up on 2.3.1.1. Absolutely no issues. AOKP JB 10-23 and the king kang kernel.

I also updated to 2.3.1.1 and flashed aokp newest build + gaaps with no issues. Its a great recovery for the t989.

So figured out I can flash any ics ROM with no issues. I still get the same error but the ROM flashes with no issues.as soon as I try a jb ROM it doesn't work just bootloops after the flash.. Any reason why? Love twrp wish there's a solution

I guess no one has an answer.I'm believing to think it's my phone and not the recovery tool
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried a different download? Try using a different browser to dl and flash again. Or you could try using an older version of TWRP if the newer one isn't working well on your phone.

Try using TWRP 2.3.3.0 as your recovery system instead, it's more up to date and is reliable. Just flash it through Odin, afterwards, you should be able to install and boot the ROMs perfectly.

If you don't mind switching to TWRP as the guy above said, then I would switch. If you like CWM, then make sure you aren't using the super wipe scripts on CWM versions other than 5.0.X
