[Q] Updating Clockwork Mod Recovery - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Please be nice, been googling around about this for the past 2 hours and still lost (lots of articles, none with what I think is the correct solution), so I'm finally posting about it...
Trying to flash my phone with the latest Cyanogen mod 11.0 (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540250 ). However, I am getting the status 7 error message. Apparently, according to the forum, I need to update clockwork mod to the newest version.
Currently my CWM tells me it is "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.3.3. However when I check http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager it says the newest version of CWM for my phone is 5.0.2.7. I've downloaded that zip file and tried flashing it inside of CWM but after changing to the new/other version it switches right back to v6.0.3.3 immediately after I reboot into recovery again.
I also have the newest odin versions downloaded on my computer, both 3.07 and 3.09. However, to flash anything through ODIN I need a .tar file for CWM, and I cannot find one. All I can find are full roots that have CWM included I think?
Note: I updated my kernel to the new one recommended on the CyanogenMod page before trying, and failing, to flash the new Cyanogen Mod. So I know my kernel might be a little wonky for the revolt rom version I'm running, not sure what to do about that either.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong/provide the proper download link for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Phone model number SPH-D710
Revolt rom 4+ last stable version 4.2
Android version 4.2.2
Kernel 3.0.31-CM-g10a225a

First ROM Manager does not support this phone, don't read anything it has to say about this device, don't use the app, forget you heard of it. Second, Status 7 is a syntax error, probably a bad download... Make sure you verify md5sum before flashing.

I heard of ROM manager but didn't want to use it, hope you don't mean that ODIN is the same thing? (I assume you were just warning me away from it, haha)
As to the md5sum, it looks like it is a match.
Post from the page seems to be that the work around is to have the newest cwm?
Here was something zachf714 posted
"status 7 comes from the fact that for the moment you need the latest cwm to install 4.4"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48105118&highlight=status+7#post48105118
I'm such a newbie I'm not entirely sure what to do with this information. Tried to do lots of searching before finally giving in and making this post.
Btw, thanks for your help so far

Figured it out!
So I went to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416620
downloaded blasphemy kernel v.6.6.
Then I first flashed the new kernel, then revolt rom 4.3. Not sure which one did it for me, but it allowed me to install Cyanogen 11.0 finally
Win!

Recovery is included in the kernel on this device

Too scared to update since I'm not on stock rom and it might make more problems with my airave but it's 39.7 MB.
Any news on this?
trust me if you are rooted it an't gonna install. If you keep pressing install later then it will keep poppin up that update notification. Just click install and it will try to install but it will not and you will no longer receive that notification.

hmmm, think its the lg8 update. i see you have the lg8 baseband but the build says lg2. if i'm right and the notification becomes a burden, replace your build.prop with this one and i bet the update notification goes away. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39180283/build.prop (right click, save link as). Its from blazer just modded to look like its updated.
I'm still stock. Should I do this update will it make it harder to root? What is the l g 8 update?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743923
flash this, you will be stock LG8, but rooted and all that, then flash theme afterward.
I'm guessing that it's just the notification for the "official" LG8 update that came out 2 weeks ago. I'll bet you've only been on custom roms since it came out so the system thinks you haven't updated yet.
I'm on Build number IMM76D.L710VPALG2. I tried this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeZx65twLk and downloaded the recovery file that it shows and the update file but when I try to install them I get an update aborted notification.
Do I need to update to a different version from LG2 before I can update to the latest LG9? Not sure where the problem is coming in
Also I still seem to have Superuser even after flashing the recovery file which is supposed to be stock with Odin. I'm not sure if that is what is causing the problem. Odin flashes the recovery file fine, not sure why its not taking.
The error that I'm getting is
E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Update:
Looks like something is just weird with the instructions on that Youtube video, I can't get that to work. Ran the Odex version in the developers section, (Odin stuff, Update, Modem) and now I'm at the latest. If anyone else runs into problems with the Youtube version it might be best to just use the instructions on the developers section, you don't need to erase your data it seems when you flash the Odex versions.

[Q] Rooting problems

Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

[Q] Need help with CM problems.

I'm currently using their stable build from November 2012 CM10, which I've tried upgrading to there latest stable a few times every now and then, and every time I attempt to upgrade it states it was aborted about 2 seconds in. Is there something special I'm suppose to do to upgrade to 10.1-10.2? Also I attempted using CM installation program and it kept me on the same version, and now I'm getting a "Unforunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped working." error, which I figured was from gapps. Can anyone please point me in the right direction of what I'm suppose to do about this.

Are you dirty flashing from 10.1 to 10.2 or clean flashing? If you're dirty flashing chances are that's what's causing the problem. From what I remember about upgrading from 10.1 to 10.2 was that a clean flash was necessary to having a bug free experience. My suggestion is backup your apps via Titanium Backup and factory reset on 10.2.
It wouldn't be advised for you to flash CM 10.1 to CM 10.2. Strictly because these are two different Android versions. First of all you will want to download the following links below.

CM-10.2.0-d2att.zip
Clockwork-6.0.4.3-d2att.img
CM10.2 4.3.X GApps
After you have downloaded the above files, you'll want to flash the Clockwork with Odin. If you are unsure on how to do this, please proceed to this tutorial. After you have flashed the last CWM, you will want to transfer the CM-10.2 image and the GApps to your root of the device. Then go into your custom recovery. Now wipe your data and dalvik cache. Then flash/install the CM10.2 zip file and then GApps. Now restart your device and you'll be on 4.3
If you are using TWRP, you'll need to find the appropriate version for that.

[Q] Something Wrong with Custom ROM installation

I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One X. I have used the ClockworkMod recovery.
I had CyanogenMod 10.2 installed and it ran perfectly fine.
Later on, I downloaded the 'cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4-endeavoru.zip' file to install the the CM 11.2
But it seems something terribly has gone wrong.
This error message was shown during installing CM 11.2

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and it got stuck on this screen after rebooting
Later on I tried flashing the 'boot.img' of CM 10.2 to get back to that ROM, but I encountered this error.
But when I tried installing the 'cm-10.2.1-endeavoru.zip', it was a success, but I am still stuck at the same position.
Please help me restoring the phone back, I dont care if I have to revert back to HTC's Original ROM, as long as the phone is back working.
I am novice at this thing, so please bear with me if I ask some stupid questions.

First of all if you want to install CM11 you must to use latest CWM from CM11 thread or TWRP2.7 or Philz latest. And now mount sd card copy your sense rom to the card install it, flash the boot img. and you are good to go. After this read again thread for CM11 and how to install and try agin but be shure you read the thread
use the recovery that thommy put in the first page of the cm11 post (or the philz last recovery) it seems that the cmw that you have doesen't support kitkat

Problem rooting F41 with magisk and Android 12

Hi, i have rooted a few phones in the past without problems but it´s my first samsung and nothing seems to work... Read a lot a tutorials, tried a lot of things and for now, no success in any...
I'm on the latest version of Android (12) - ZTO-F415FUBS2CVF1
I did unlock the bootloader without problems... Extracted stock rom boot.img, patched it with magisk 22104. Put it inside a boot.tar, flashed it in Odin with success:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After the patch, i always go straight to stock recovery and wipe data...
It´s really weird, when i install magisk, after the flash, it only says this:
I also did try to follow magisk instructions and flash the whole stock rom with the AP patched but it gives me an vbmeta error, so i reverted to stock firmware and kept trying to patch only boot.img...
Also tried to revert to android 11 with Odin but it gives me an wrong version error on download mode...
I don´t know if i'm using the wrong magisk version, or something is missing in the tutorials... Also tried to find something here but nothing seems to work... Can someone help me ?
Same problem here. VBmeta is giving me a lot of trouble.
Loking foward for a solution...

Can I see the error? It may be because flashing just the ap in the first place shrunk your space.
