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.

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

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....

Oh, CWM, how MUCH I can't stand thee:
Anyway, here's a long version:
I can't stand using CWM for recovery.
(I initially had an OG Evo, and it was nothing but a headache, so I always used AmonRa, successfully, and use that or TWRP on my ALL my other devices, where I can...
I'very made other posts about its issues, and have gotten into it with Koush online before about all the problems with it, and how he just let's so many versions out into the wild that aren't working for different phones...
With the ET4G, I kinda had to use it, and was able to flash a working version thru Odin.
Whatever, I was able to use it.
Lately, Koush releases a touchscreen version, there are stories about it all over the web: so I go into Rom Manager to check it out:
It tells me that it's not yet compatible with the ET4G, but that my version of CWM is outdated, so I should flash a newer CWM....
LIKE AN IDIOT, I agreed.
Now, just when I finally have a chance to flash CM9 on my ET4G, after waiting SOOOOO long?
I can't.
Because now, my recovery's totally borked.
I can't even get my phone to do anything but bootloop the CM7 animation, and download mode is the only thing I can get into.
Now, I'm gonna have to spend all this time today fixing what shouldn't be messed up in the first place instead of enjoying CM9 like I should be doing.
(BTW: Koush, if you're listening: this will be the last time for sure I ever fall for that again.)
Yeah, I'm mad, Bro.

I never use ROM manager but doesn't cwm have to be packaged with a kernel in order for it to work? ie. we can't just flash a recovery like we could in the evo 4G days. Methinks if you just use odin to flash a kernel+cwm package you'll be back up and running in no time.

Oh, yeah: I can fix it, but my wife has my laptop till like 7pm, and I really don't wanna mess with drivers, Odin, all, that stuff on my desktop. I keep all my Android stuff on one PC (laptop) and I like having ADB, drivers, all that stuff, in one place...Just kinda threw a rock into my chain, on today of all days...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Edit: And, yeah, I knew that used to be the case with CWM (needed kernel flash), but when a known high-level dev is telling me basically, that "this updated version will work for that very specific Android device that you have", and that "I can use his app to flash it", I guess I wanted to believe him...
Eff that guy: He needs to spend less time stacking his money, and more time having some accountability for what he releases to the public.
/End rant.
So, this has nothing to do with Clockworkmod, you are really pissed that samsung requires recovery and kernels on the same partition.
Koush can only do so much magic.

How much magic does it take to remove the ET4G from Rom Manager's compatability list?

I know it sux but I have to agree the real problem and question is if you know your way around your phone then honestly why in the hell would you use Rom Manager, Not getting on you but I too hated CWM on OG Evo, I used Amon but the one thing we all learned early is do it yourself so you dont need Rom Manager...
I love the new clockwork mod touch recovery. I actually like it better than twrp2.0. Only thing I like about twrp is you can compress the backups. The new cwm touch was just released for the ns4g.

For our phone.
There's definitely nothing wrong with CWM. Blame rom manager if you must place the blame anywhere besides yourself.
I bought rom manager to support clockworkmod and have access to the latest clockworkmod versions. I think they have provided a wonderful tool. Anyway, I actually never used it except to check for roms and latest clockworkmod.
I've flashed the touch version of clockworkmod (downloaded the .img file from the clockrkmod web site) on my ns4g using adb and fastboot (thanks to Paul627 for the tutorial).

I flashed this rom and kept my EL29 kernel. Does that mean in order to get this Rom and get my CWM recovery back I have to reset my phone to stock and start all over again with the EL26? Also, is the swype keyboard in the rapps, and how do i get the face unlock to work?
When you flashed Frankenstein rom, your kernel changed to the FE21 kernel included with the rom so not sure what you mean by you kept el29 kernel since that's not compatible with ICS. The reason you have stock android recovery now is because of all the bricking issues performing certain functions in custom ICS recovery so devs are leaving out custom recovery from their roms. So yes, when you want to change roms, backup, etc., you must go back to the el26 cwm kernel first and flash, backup, etc. from there. Not sure about your last two questions since I'm not using that rom. Let me know if you need anything else.

Not to sure what you mean by that. If you're saying what I think you're saying, yes you must use el26 cwm kernel whenever flashing anything ICS related or backing up or restoring. Using anything else and you risk bricking your phone.

Slick_rick is correct, as far as Swype i just sign up for the Swype beta from you phone browser to get a download for it, that way i always have it to restore with titanium so i can get Swype on any rom. There's also some Swype keyboards floating around in the app section but i haven't tried them. They should work though.

Wow... I needed this thread. I just recently went through what I thought were all the instructions to flash this rom. I had previously used the PD Odin executable routine to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS. I saw the reviews on this rom and really liked what I saw. I used Odin 1.85 to set up CWM-El26 so I could flash this ROM. I got everything working ( I do get that yellow triangle on reboots) but I did notice the CWMod Recovery does not stay on the phone. It reverts back to the basic ICS Recovery (where I GUESS you cannot flash zip files). Now all this said... After flashing this ROM, I am still on FE16. Is there something else I am missing.
I got into rooting when I had my Dinosaur Moment, and now I have that itch again. Thanks again for all your help!

Swype is in the removed apps. You have to Unknown Sources checked under device administration. You can mount your phone, add the swype.apk file to the phone, and install it using the astro file manager. I still go back and forth between swype and the stock ICS keyboard. Word prediction seems to work better in the stock.

Oh well your cwm recovery disappeared because it wasnt packed into the kernel that came with the rom you flashed. And you can get rid of the yellow triangle using a USB jig or an app called triangle away. Just Google search something like "triangle away apk+chainfire+xda" and you should be able to find it.

Hey... I hit the thank button but I got the triangle away and it worked like a charm! Thanks again. Maybe they can get the CWM 5.0.2.7 to stay packaged in the ROM setups in the future!
so i tried to redo this flash with the el26 kernel. but then my phone started acting crazy, telling me that the calendar storage stopped working. finally after putting frankenstein back on my phone, it stopped coming up. the only problem im experiencing now is that i cant download pics in my text messaging. but i can use my 3g, 4g, and wifi for everything else. I dunno if this is because im in PR or because i messed something up. Please give me some feedback if you know anything
You started up with el26? That will never work with this rom. You need an ics kernel.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
i know. but when you flash the rom it changes to ics. im saying, initially i started with the el29. QBkind77 advises to flash it after having the el26 installed, but i was too hasty.
Hmmh...i only ever do el26 never el29. I'm not sure what happened then. You are correct if you flashed the ROM it is ics. It must have been a bad flash or a bad download as well, sorry.

I have model SPH-D710.
I followed the guide here.
I had no problems whatsoever until the final reboot. Now my phone's stuck at the 2nd loading animation... the one with the android on the skateboard in the middle of the screen with the blue things coming at you.
I can boot into Odin mode. I cannot, however, boot into recovery mode.
Is there anything I can do? Did I totally screw up my phone to where I'm going to just have to buy a new one and cry about it because my dad would have killed me for voiding my warranty on "such an expensive phone?"
Try regular booting again

Just holding the power button to tun off them holding it to turn on helps

Go to recovery
Wipe everything

Don't think it was mentioned but Alpha 5 does not have recovery, this was done to prevent people from doing stupid things like factory resetting or installing roms.
The nightly builds have a safe recovery as well as themselves safe to flash on ICS recoveries if you need to head that direction next. But a replacement for Alpha 5 will be out in eventuality with all that as well.
I got it to work after I flashed back to GB and then back to alpha 5.
No idea what went wrong before, but it works now!
You probably flashed from an ics recovery
For some reason we can't get rom flashing on ics to work
Every one has been using Odin to go to el29 or at least they flashed the kernel with the recovery of el29 them flashed the rom

You are ok with EL26.... just keep following what the OP says in the rom threads and you will be alright.

You can use the EL26 kernel on EL29 some people flash just the EL26 kernel for recovery, other people odin to EL29 and use the auto rooter to flash the EL26 CWM or EL29 Rogue kernel. Last i checked the CM9 brick from flashing with Rogue is a simple soft brick easily fixed with odin.

You probably flashed from an ics recovery
For some reason we can't get rom flashing on ics to work
Every one has been using Odin to go to el29 or at least they flashed the kernel with the recovery of el29 them flashed the rom

My friend you may have a little homework to do. Things have improved greatly for us in reference to flashing roms with certain recoveries and kernels for ICS. I for one use the nightlys for CM9 and flashing roms and wiping has been fixed.
Do yourself a favor and stroll through development and read up on the new stuff that has come about over the last couple weeks or so.
Enjoy guys and OP glad you got your phone back up and running. Next time don't panic!
