[Q] cmw5 somehow keeps disappearing.. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

When I first rooted on fi27. I did the agat fi27 repack.. and flashed several different custom Roms. Blazer gb abd ics.. with agat recovery. I wanted to go to the mijjz jb v1.0.3 so I used the oneclick fk23 stock rooted, flashed chris's el26 cmw5 did a backup, cleared all the caches, flashed mijjz jb and got a phone fc on start up had to boot into download and reflash stock fk23.. why would I be losing cwm5?

Because you flashed a new kernel without a recovery when you flashed jellybean.

CWM is in the kernel which changes to whatever kernel is installed in the ROM you are flashing. None of the new JB roms have CWM in the kernel as of yet.. if you need to flash something you need to odin or mobile odin to a safe cwm kernel , flash , than flash back to a JB kernel.
Steps and links are discussed in just about every JB rom thread

Try on a completely stock rom like one of sfhubs Odin in clicks. Or it could just be sprint for now.

Do i just mobile odin the el26/CWM Kernel and then flash shfubs el26 stock rom?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
No go to his fe22 odin one click thread and use that to go to stock twiz. From there update prl/profile. Then you can go ahead and mobile Odin the el26 cwm kernel and ref lash to whatever rom.

I had that same problem on Frankenstein's last night. No matter what I tried they wouldn't update so I ended up going back to Calk's ROM. And I really liked Frankenstein's ROM and wish I could of stayed on it longer.

You can still flash a GB kernel even though you have a ICS ROM installed. It won't boot the phone completely(it'll freeze on the Samsung Galaxy SII screen on startup). But you can still get into recovery and download modes. That's the benefit right there. You don't need to flash all that though. Which ROM do you want to be on? The part about using Odin to go to FE22 and then go to EL26 has an extra step in it. You really don't need to flash the FE22 before going to EL26.

Ya some of them have CWM or a different custom recovery. What ROM is it that you want to install? What I mean is you don't need to flash to multiple other kernels/ROMs before eventually going to whichever ROM you want.
Go to the dev section and find sfhubs fe22 Odin one click and flash your phone with that. The reason you do this is so you will be on a stock rom where you can update prl and profile. After you do this, using Odin (with only auto reboot checked in top right corner), flash the el26 cwm kernel. Boot into recovery and from here you can flash back to Frankenstein or blazer whatever you want. You will need a computer.
So...
1. Fe22 Odin one click
2. Boot into fe22 stock rom and update prl/profile
3. Odin the el26 cwm kernel
4. Flash whatever new rom you want.

Doesn't need to be fe22, but needs to be stock touchwiz or close to so you can update prl/profile and that rom will let you do so. No problem, I'm ways here to help.

Did you try booting into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, then try to update again?

can i install agat safe recovery on GB ?

Hi i was on ICS with agat safe recovery and don't like the battery life so i went back to blazer 4.1 GB rom.But now after installing blazer rom i got Rouge recovery. So can i replace Rouge recovery with agat safe recovery on GB EL29? Please advise me .i heard that with agat safe recovery i can flash back and forth from GB-ICS and ICS-GB.
No you can't. Your kernel needs to match your os. Gingerbread kernel on gingerbread and ics kernel on ics.

No problem and you can still accomplish what you want. Just make sure any ics Rom you flash includes his kernel or flash it right after the Rom and do the same for GB, making sure it has GB kernel or flashing one right after.

Additionally there is no need for a "safe" gb kernel as they are all safe, they do not contain the code that triggers the emmc bug

[Q] Safe to use Recovery in ICS yet?

Based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525495
It seems that the main issue was some emmc issue causing bricks when flashing with ICS because we didn't have an official release or the source.
I've seen a few rom developers state that they think this problem has been solved in some later kernels. Now that we have an official ICS release, Is this a safe process now? Are there certain roms or kernels I should be using to get ICS recovery to work safely?
Basically I want to no longer have to flash el29 just to try things like Google Now ports and stuff. I want a fully mobile option to flash multiple roms at my leisure like other phones
Agats kernel/recovery is safe. Sleshepic's kernel/recovery is also safe. I flash ICS to ICS alot thru their recoveries no problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I am glad someone else asked this because I was just about to do the same. I am on Agat and was about to go from stock rom to AOKP Milestone 6 but wasn't sure if I could flash back to TW based roms without having to go to EL29.
How do I flash their recoveries? I already rooted and have superuser. I just don't have a recovery and I'm confused on the articles I've read. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Every kernel is safe as long as you don't factory reset. use calks flash all zip instead of the wipe in recovery. Rujelus22 has a 2x wipe zip that does it twice. They wipe cache, dalvik, and system data in one shot.
What kernel should i be downloading? I have stock ICS rooted.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Flash Agats kernel. The .tar file in odin or mobile odin.

Flashing New Rom Question

Hello,
I am running an ICS FF18 custom rom and I am thinking of switching to run The Blu Kuban. My question is what do I need to do to make sure that I dont brick the phone? What are the steps needed to switch safely?
Thank you all for the help!
Search for the el29 cwm direct boot kernel and flash via Odin. That kernel is safe to install roms and wipe data and other stuff.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thank you.
So can I just use mobile odin and reflash to EL26 and then flash like normal? I wont have a problem going from ICS FF18 directly to EL26?
Thanks!
I believe he said the el29 direct boot kernel

[Q] how to install CWM in FK23 rom?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Agat has a repacked kernel with custom recovery/cwm that works. Look for the thread in the dev section and FOLLOW THE INSTALL GUIDE. Oh and read through the whole thread too. I installed from the external sd card via mobile odin and had no issues what so ever

many have said to use this AGAT FI27 Kernel from source which has CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
latest is version 0.6.8 . theres a tar and zip file use the tar for Odin. You could mobile odin as well
But you should do what you want to do in recovery and then either Odin or Flash in that recovery STOCK Kernel FK23 for best results.
