[Q] ACS Updater, problem installing acs custom recovery 1.0.0.4

I have been trying to update to the ACS custom recovery 1.0.0.4 but every time i try this in the ACS updater application it starts to download zImage, then gets to 99% and reboots my phonne. It doesnt go into recovery from there and the same version of CWM i was using is still the recovery system.
This has happened across 3 different roms i was trying (acs srf 1.2, and ERA rom, and bamboozle 1.1)
I would like to know iof this is a known issue, how i can get this work work, and if there is a flashable zip that i can use to install the custom recovery myself.

Interesting. I have been testing the recovery for like 2 months. I just thought it was labeled wrong because I am on 1.0.0.3. Let me try to get some info

Any info? It just downloads "zImage" to my sd card.

Cool stuff thanks!

It appears I am having the same issue. Gets to 99%, reboots, and I still have cwm 3.1.0.1 on 3 finger and through acs app.

Hey guys, I'm looking into this issue now. Not sure what caused it to just stop working.... I'll get back to everyone when I have an answer.
As for the zImage file - that's the recovery. It downloads into to your sdcard, then uses bmlwrite to write it, and then reboots.

Thanks for the response. This recovery is the only one that has never failed on me so I hope people get to take advantage of it ASAP. I have been testing it for 6+ weeks or so and its the first thing I put back on my phone after rooting.

Alright, great news everyone - got it fixed. Just uploaded to the market, give it time to reach you. Version is:
(Free) 1.5.0.3
(Donate) 1.5.1.3
I apologize for the issues... not sure how it went so wrong when it worked in testing.... I tested both versions though, all is good.
By the way -
I was able to do the following:
ODIN to stock
Root with One-Click
Here's the best part - even if your one-click does NOT install a custom recovery - you can still install it from the app. After I did ODIN / root, did not have to touch computer at all.... Installed recovery, then kernel, then rom, all from app.
Once again, I apologize for the issues.

After it installs, make a new nandroid backup. I found huge errors when restoring a 3.1.0.1 backup under the new recovery.
Testing now. Uhhh, I can't seem to 3 finger into recovery at all. And now it won't boot at all. Time for some special odin time....

I just saw this thread, but I have ACS Updater (Donate version 1.1) - I only use it for backup and restore and it works perfect - I don't understand this "stops at 99%" thing, but now you guys got me scared to update to the newest version.
One thing that is strange, I had to look up acs updater in the Market Place before I found you could update it - the Market Place never gave me a notification that there was an update until I saw this thread

I didn't have this problem I installed ACS Recovery & restored a backup I made earlier with cwm a week ago & everything great! I like the blue in the recovery a little change from the purple which was also nice thanks ACS Team!! Oh my roommate has the evo I told him to instal this but he's scared that it will brick his phone I told him it won't just to make sure so he can see this is it ok for him to have this acs recovery?

Not sure why but the .tar file is followed by a .md5 extention, so I just removed it and it became a .tar, just for others to know, thanks

the md5 extension is so you know it hasnt been messed with, and so you know the download is not corrupt...
odin flashes md5s and checks the downloads...

What would be the benefit of flashing this versus your other similar kernel? Sorry if this is a stupid question....

Thank you so much. This is perfect. Do have a question. Does this have a new version of cwm or the same one from yesterday? I ask cause the back soft button wasn't working and the storage mounts were reversed. Just checking to see if that has been fixed.

It is the same just without root and busybox. He made it for those of us that prefer having root controlled at the system level versus the kernel. You don't lose anything either way. If you use this you have to make sure you are running an already rooted rom. There is less conflict by doing this since most, if not all, roms are already rooted.

Once again thanks for you help. One last stupid question before I retire from stupidity, but how do I know which way I am rooted? I thought the only way to root was FROM the kernel. I ask because I'm specifically on midnight rom v2 and have no clue which way I'm rooted.

Is there any way someone could upload a mirror to a different site? I'm wanting to flash this but I'm at work and my company is blocking the site that the link is for. If you can that would be awesome if not, no big deal. I'll try and get it when I get home.
Edit: Nevermind. Managed to get it from my phone.

I can up it to megaupload if that helps Tiffany.

Yes you will keep root cause the rom is rooted. As long ad the rom is rooted the kernel doesn't need to. be.

Just curious, if someone has flashed chris' previous kernel, what benefit is there supposed to be? Is it not the same stock kernel with some tweaks? Especially if you're concerned with losing root. Not singling anyone out, just curious as to the rationale.

Because kernels that have forced copying of root & busybox cause issues when you start using complete custom ROMs because they overwrite files that are already included. Plus if your including a custom recovery, what the point of including root, etc when the user can now flash what they want?
Also, Chris, the recovery you have included in this won't mount the internal storage or even make a backup to it or recover, it only wants to use the external sd card and since I don't use one because of the delay it causes coming from sleep, I can't do anything except test flash stuff

I flashed this around noon and once my phone rebooted, I updated my 'profile' under 'about phone'. Everything seemed fine, an hour later...I had a LOS, rebooted and got it back, an hour later, same thing...LOS. Rebooted and I updated the profile again, it's fine for now.
Do we have to update profile every time we do a reboot??
Didn't have any issues when in stock.

[ROM][CM9][AOKP] Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc

Epic Touch Blog: Temporary Stock E4GT from emmc
Utility for CM9 Epic Touch
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's Gingerbread EL29 firmware entirely from emmc without making any changes to the ROM currently installed on your phone. When you reboot, you return to recovery where you can re-flash the ROM to return to CM9. This temporary ROM is useful for several purposes.
Update Profile.
Update PRL.
Sprint Activation.
Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
This should be helpful to users of any AOSP-based ROM including CM9, AOKP, etc.
Thanks to noobnl and mkasick for making this possible!

Really nice thanks a lot.

Awesome can't wait to test it out

Would this work to flash .zip updates (such as kobridge) or updated ROMs (such as alpha5)?

This definitely will come in handy, can I suggest seeing if you can get a video made of how it works. I can honestly say It seems to help out quite a bit in this forum for a lot of people and does cut down on the crazy questions.
Great job though!

You can use the directbootCWM file to update CM9 yes. Not sure about using it for Kobridge tweaks.

Its for AOSP roms. You currently can't update PRL/Profile, activate your device, or use dialer codes on them so this temporarily allows you to boot stock el29 off the SD card without changing your current rom. You can do what i said from there. Saves you time from doing backups, restoring, etc.

I'm hoping that someone can help me out as I am unable to boot into the temporary ROM. Here are the steps I followed:
1. I have everything extracted to emmc as directed.
2. I flashed directboot CWM utilizing mobile odin which correctly booted me into CWM version 5.0.2.7
3. I flashed boot_EL29.zip at location /emmc/multiboot/EL29 and received the following messages that appear to be correct.
Finding Update Package...​Opening Update Package...​Installing Update...​Boot /emmc/multiboot/EL29/zImage​Create mount symlink.​Remount partitions read-only.​(Re)mount /emmc read-only.​Unpack kexec.​Load zImage and initramfs.​Sync.​Reboot into zImage.​Install from sdcard complete.​4. At this point I expected the phone to reboot into the temporary rom; however, it just shows the standard recovery menu. No reboot occured.
5. Because no automatic reboot occured, I selected "reboot system now" from CWM. Unfortunately this just brings me back into directboot CWM.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I am having the same problem I thought it could have been the downloading or unpacking so I downloaded it again and unpacked it and still have the same problem.

When done updating prl/profile, etc. Just reboot your phone and it will take you back to cwm recovery. From there you can either just reflash the rom or just a compatible kernel so it boots.

[ROM][MK5][STOCK][ODEXED/DEODEXED]- Virgin Mobile/Boost Mobile

Alright folks, we're up and running. Just as the title says, this is the MK5 Boost/Virgin Mobile 4.3 update in flashable zip. Stock, zipaligned, basic. More to come in the future, but this should be enough to keep you busy for awhile. Enjoy!
PLEASE READ I've made a few changes to the wording of the OP, based on my own personal observations from running this build. This ROM is unrooted, even though it has the su and busybox "guts" in the build. Future builds will have all this cleaned up. In the meantime, when flashing, you must flash the SuperSU Update listed in the flashing instructions to regain root. Simple, I know Just thought I'd let you know! Enjoy.
Thanks:
Google, Samsung, XDA – For obvious reasons
Dsixda – For the Kitchen
@CNexus – Because frankly this couldn’t have been done without your help.
@Chainfire – SuperSU and everything else you do and continue to do. You’re a magician.
@Mr. Struck - for testing deodexed for me.
@TheBritton - For his help getting this shared around the other forums.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for whatever you do with your phone. Please flash at your own risk!
Download Links:
Stock Odexed
Stock Deodexed
Flashing Instructions:
Note: Chances are you will have problems with root upon reboot. So to save yourself the headache, I would suggest downloading and flashing the SuperSU update from the get go.
If you don’t, and it works on its own, please let me know. But if you just flash it when you flash everything else you should be golden!
1. Update your recovery to latest TWRP, CWM, Philz, whatever you are using. I used Philz, found here:Link
2. Download ROM to phone
3. Download wifi fix from here(Thanks @CNexus): Link
4. Download SuperSU Update(See note!!): Link
5. Download Knox APP remover: Link This is Knox APP Remover, and WILL NOT REMOVE KNOX FROM THE BOOTLOADER! IT WAS NEVER INSTALLED!
6. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik
7. Flash rom, wifi fix, SuperSU update, then knox APPS remover.
8. If you haven’t done so already, and you're having problems with data, I highly suggest flashing the MK5 modem(Thanks @CNexus): Link
9. Reboot, profit

Issues:This is an early run, so I’m sure there might be hiccups. You tell me!
ATTENTION!!!. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 4.3 FIRMWARE. AKA THE KNOX BOOTLOADER! SO HAVE NO FEAR OF FLASHING THIS BECAUSE OF KNOX!!!

So awesome !!! Thank You for putting this together - Is this deodexed also ?

I've seen that mod but didn't know if it was safe to flash on the virgin mobile build. Does that mod enable native tethering? I believe it's something in the MK5 kernel blocking tethering. I've tried all root apps like wireless tether, barnacle, etc all versions, betas, experimental to no avail.

I've done a clean flash of this rom 3x and everything works nicely. Every flash I've flashed the hotspot mod you referred to as the final step. Up til the final step of flashing hotspot everything works and then after I get stuck on Samsung boot screen all 3 times.I think it's safe to say that the hotspot mod does not work for this rom.

Yeah, you are probably right. I know there are others trying to work this out too and haven't been able to. Most likely something inside the "guts" of the build. I'll consult some of the guys I know are who are a lot smarter than me and see if we can come up with something.
Also, for everyone, check the OP. I posted the deodexed version last night! Enjoy

I just noticed this too. Don't think it has anything to do with 4.3. Before I ran this ROM I was running CNEXUS Sprint version and the mobile data toggle is included in that one.

Boost must've disabled it...I know verizon did that on the S4, so it's a possibility
If you can post this file for me, I can make a flashable to enable all the hidden toggles for you guys

Here's a zip file to the databases folder. It didn't have system.db but it did have settings.db and some other files.https://www.mediafire.com/folder/pbufbe79o8z84/

Which themes are you using? Which recovery are you using as well? Never heard of that with Aroma, although most roms I have used were none Aroma based..

Weird, try a none aroma based rom, and see what happens.. Also what rom are you using.. I know you said stock deodexd, but from whom.

Not sure what the problem might be. I would simply find a rom you like minus aroma and use it instead... Or you can flash back to 100% stock and try it again..

Sorry I could not help.. One question, your MK4 does that include the bootloader? I know the rom I have tried, left out the bootloader and left in the MC2 bootloader..

The mk4 does contain the knox bootloader so the only known way to go back to mc2 is by using billards back to stock mc2 with counter reset.
Now about the possible aroma issue. I have used a few aroma scripts and even did my own custom aroma for a rom and while they had issues none did what you are talking about. The issues i have experienced were lockups when switching from aroma menu to installer and back to aroma menu. I have found one version that gave me 0 issues. If you will try this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47719471. Download version 4 (4.2 contains some stock mc2 rom making it large!!!) and do something simple like changing your recovery. See if this script causes the same issues as your other ones. Hopefully not and you will now have an aroma version you can build off.

It turns out I can't chmod wildcard in recovery in .sh the command that killed my WiFi turned out to be "chmod 644 /system/app/*"
