OK GUYS AND GIRLS, WE'VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS ONE!!!!
CWM 3.0.2.5 UPGRADE WITH RFS AND EXT4 SUPPORT!
Please note: some people have had the samsung recovery appear after this flash, and in my testing, in some circumstances, the stock kernel can actually flash back the stock recovery. Due to this, I highly recommend that anyone flashing the new cwm with this flash, please also flash my clean kernel, located here: Clean Kernel EC05 1.03d thread Also note, that the one click version of this should not have this problem, since it takes away the ability of the stock kernel to flash the samsung recovery.
http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTools/cwm3.0.2.5.zip
Flash this with your current ClockworkMod to be upgraded!
Notes:
* This flashes bml8 kernel only, this kernel is stripped of bloat, for minimal file size
* 3 finger boot required to enter the bml8 recovery from power off
* Key assignments: vol up/down= up/down, camera button= enter, back cap key= back
hehe: has mkasick keyboard patch, so thumbing is faster!!!
* Full restores of backups done from prior cwm versions may not be possible. Do backup and restore > advanced > {choose backup} > and selectively restore the partitions you need.
* Once new backups are performed, those backups can be restored to *either* rfs or ext4.
* Now backup and restore includes both the kernel and recovery too
* Use in conjunction with my Clean Kernel, for ROM Manager support, other kernels will soon follow suit:

THE COMMUNITY!!!! I HAVE FINALLY SEEN DEVS WORKING TOGETHER IN WAYS I DIDN'T THINK WERE POSSIBLE...
LET'S KEEP THIS UP, AND KNOW THAT COOPERATION BENEFITS EVERYONE!!!!
* koush: the friggin man! he compiled the recovery binary, and gave me the advice I needed to finally get dual fs support!
* Rodderik: without his initial kernel training, I never would have gotten this done at all
* tanimn: for hosting of cwm koush files in this github, and sharing experience that was genuinely helpful
* mkasick: for the keyboard sysfs patch, for faster key response
Gonna test this out now...
works great...it has been thoroughly tested great job DRockstar!
will be included in my kernel soon as well!
Works great, been testing this the last few days... will beincluded in EC05 Plus 1.2

I do have a slight problem. I booted into CWM and it's all there, but it wont let me select anything. I can scroll no problems with my keypad but when I hit enter...nothing. Hitting the home button doesn't work either.
Any thought?
Looks like it works with the vol keys and the home button on the screen. Even then it seemed to be pretty slow when I wanted to get into the backup mode. It actually showed the hat and sat there and then I pressed home again and it went to backup/restore.
Just not sure why the keyboard keys don't work.
forgot to mention... that the back soft key goes back, and not power, camera is enter

cwm 3.0.2.5 uses the edify script, so all zips that use edify, are going to be fine.
Is there anyway for this to auto convert the file system to ext4? If not its ok. Working fine for me so far.

First I'd like to thank the Bonsai team (Mammon88 and Randy_T) for their work.
This little set of files is totally based on their work, I just modified it a bit.
I asked permission before releasing this, and I've left the GPL notices intact.
All changes can be seen by inspecting the files in the zip.
Thank you Team Bonsai!
:[Disclaimer]:
You assume all risks in using these files. Not me, you!
I will attempt to help if anything goes wrong.
But don't try blaming me for something you chose to do.
:[Description]:
There are two ClockworkMod zips, I'll break it down for each file.
ncDataBackup.zip:
This file simply backs up the /data folder to a gzip file on your SD card (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
The only difference is that it will store the file in a different folder and file name on your SD card.
The file is stored @ /sdcard/data-backup/backup-data.cpio.gz
ncDataRestore.zip:
This file first deletes everything in the /data folder.
I figured this would be best so there are no conflicts with files that are already in the /data folder.
[NOTE]:: This also means that if the Rom your are using installs anything into the /data folder, it will be lost during the restore!
Then it simply restores the /data folder from the aforementioned backup file (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
:[Purpose]:
I made this so I never have to setup a home screen again (or loose mms history, call logs, etc)!
For people who are using Roms that don't already preform a backup and restore of the files in /data.
And as an alternative to a bit for bit nandroid backup / restore of the /data partition.
:[Disadvantages]:
As stated, the restore will delete everything in the /data folder before performing the restore.
So anything put there by the Rom you are installing will be lost!
I wouldn't Expect this to work coming from or going to CyanogenMod, but feel free to test for me.
:[Benefits]:
Restores home screens, mms history, call logs, etc...
Can be used whenever for whatever reason (always good to have more options for backup / restore IMO).
:[Usage]:
Boot into ClockworkMod.
ALWAYS DO A NORMAL NANDROID BACKUP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.
Install the ncDataBackup.zip, it will preform the data backup.
Install your favorite Rom.
Install the ncDataRestore.zip, it will preform the data restore.
Reboot the phone.
:[Testing]:
This has been tested while running Bonsai v2.0.1.
This has also been tested coming from Bonsai v2.0.1 going to Quantum v2.7.
I only had one FC (gmail) when going to Quantum from Bonsai, and that's because Quantum's gmail wasn't updated.
I simply cleared gmail's data and cache and all was well (then I updated gmail through the market).
[NOTE]:: Both of these Roms are DK28 builds and support EXT4! Your mileage may vary!
:[Feedback]:
Please post your results, good or bad, I'd like to know how well this works for other Roms.
I'm thinking of making a backup/restore zip generator program so this method can be used for other phones.
So if you try this please post your results.
:[Changelog]:
[03-05-2011]
Upgraded files to Bonsai 3.x.
Now uses an included busybox, this should allow support for more Roms/devices(?).
Zip file names have changed.
Also changes have been made to the script output.
Tested on Bonsai 3.x

Thanks for this! I had my phone freak out on boot up during the zipalign process, which pretty much killed my /data directory. I had just installed Bonsai 3 the other night and realized the backup it made was not the normal CWM img backup! With your zip I was able to restore the gzip that bonsai 3 created to my phone.
Perhaps there were other built in ways to do the restore but your zips took care of my problem!
Great work!

Those having problems...
The backup / restore process was altered just a bit with the release of Bonsai 3.0.0.
I mentioned an update to these files yesterday, I'm going to work on that now and get it finished.
I'm not saying that the new changes will fix the problems, but there's a chance.
BBL with the update.

Updated, check OP.
Those who are freezing at the bootscreen, please report back if you test this.
-ps these files clear out davlik-cache, so the 1st boot after a restore will take a while (but should not freeze @ the samsungmobile screen).

I would be curious as well, only thing i can think of is when Bonsai runs it does not wipe data, if you install a rom that wipes data before install it will wipeout .andriodsecure on the sd card.
Stock Nandroid Restores for 2.22 Froyo and 2.33/2.34 GingerBreadfor T-Mobile G2x LG P999 only!
(These Nandroid restores are not rooted and are in complete stock condition.)
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "LG-P999-V10f.zip" or "LG-P999-V20e.zip" file extracted to your external SDCard in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/LG-P999-V10f directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "LG-P999-V10f" or "LG-P999-V21e" or "LG-P999-V21y" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select LG-P999-V10f or LG-P999-V21e or LG-P999-V21y and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

Just to clarify a bit. Drop the folder into clockworkmod/backup/ on your SD card. Made no sense when I first looked at the file path.
Tried this as a restore since my connectivity still sucks. I am getting a MD5 miss match. . . . What ever that means, I have no idea.

No they would not be 'Odin'able, just easily extracted using 7zip and better compression, as well as a tad faster.. but no backwards compatibility..
and as far as I'm aware any backup going back to 3.0.0.25 should work... but as always YMMV, so don't rely on it...

Try powering off using the menu option in CWM4, OP wasn't referring to any other form of power off. I tried it, and experienced the slight inconvenience he mentioned - but it was as easy as selecting "reboot system" from CWM to get back to the main system, so it's not a deal breaker.
I haven't had time or cause to test much else yet, but this looks promising

I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

i don't have a flashable zip unfortunately, but what i've been doing is flashing the zimage thru Odin. if that helps you at all, if you're comfortable with Odin, i've been meaning to upload the tar file for the kernel that i made to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538576
WolfV2 said he would add it to the OP once i uploaded it. other than that, ReActiveDisorder had made a flashable zip, but i see that all his links have been removed.
edit: there's also nxd's tutorial on flashing a kernel with Hemidall here:

Wait hold up, what am I thinking... had a little brain freeze there!. You could just use nxd's build of the Bali Kernel for KJ2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663622
That also has the keystroke logger removed, AND a patch to improve keyboard responsiveness and efficiency!

Moved thread to general where it should be
Make a nandroid before using
this is for Software Version 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US
you can check your version Settings > About Phone > SW version
Nothing has been stripped out or changed, this is completely stock.
To be clear it is NOT a full ROM and will replace your
/system/app
/system/framework
folders completely.
If you have added anything to these directories it will be removed.
I added Superuser to system/app is the only modification.
Again make a nandroid before flashing

Will the previous packages (ie 1% battery/toggles, power menu) work with this updated deodexed? I can't get my phone to boot whenever I flash those .zip packages with this system file.

That's great I appreciate the work! However, after reflashing stock boot and recovery (I have two Nandroids already, one with aarrrrggghs kernel and one with shabby's kernel) and installing the update, I can't seem to get the darn system to boot after flashing the updated deodexed system. I have yet a few more things to try, so I will post an update as well. As far as testing all of this along with your mod zips, I am a willing volunteer! Send me whatever you come up with, I'll run the bugger without fear!
Peace,

Perhaps I should've been more specific:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (taken from shabby's stock files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
voodoo ota rootkeeper protect then unroot
download update
installed
reflashed TWRP and made another Nandroid of updated stock system
...now here's where I get confused on the wipe before install...
do I just wipe cache/dalvik? or those two with factory reset? or a full system wipe?
that last one doesn't make much sense, but in science you analyze all steps, eliminating them, and whatever is left, however improbable, must be the way yadda yadda.
thanx again

Wipe Dalvik should be onlything you have todo when flashing unless someones mods say todo otherwise. also heads up i think Shabbys kernel is just stock no changes to it except he added P's and Q's for the description
Huh...because once I flashed shabby's p & q wifi was completely blacked out...interesting tho. And I did figure it out and am fully DeOdexed with the power boot menu...just used the XDA assistant widget to replace (loosely) the toggles, and I have several widgets that display battery %. I am patient.

Did you flash shabby's kernel on the update? Because both shabby's and arrrghhh's kernels work with the original software version (77.6.36.XT897.Sprint.en.US) only. Modules have been changed in the update and wifi breaks every time.
Yeah..that's where I goofed. Using kernel builds for a completely different software file system/build. I didn't realize at the time that they are software specific.

Whenever I attempt to wipe dalvik cache, I always get this error:
E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]
If you have apps2sd enabled in your rom the /sd-ext partition holds a separate dalvik cache from internal memory. Because of the way the sd card is mounted, there's no method of mounting an ext partition at this time but TWRP still looks for it when wiping dalvik cache. Its just the way the recovery's wired, but everything's fine.
Thanks ranger by I have been annoyed for the last 3 weeks about the update by moto

I am not able to just wipe the dalvik, but I end up factory reset and it works. I have alot of info on my current backup, and I wonder how do you keep the info and still install this update?

this shouldnt wipe any user data or play store installed apps just make a backup apply it and if anythings missing go back to your backup you just made
Dalvik & cache wipe was all I did, worked like a charm. Also I wanted to point out that the updated power boot menu works flawlessly.
AND I was able to mod my 3G/4G status bar icons using ROM Toolbox Pro. However for some reason that's the only ones it will do, all the other icons it will either run & tell me to reboot then no changes or run the innstall operation for literally over 20 minutes and I have to force-kill the app. I have emailed the dev team about that including a spec report on our phone. Have yet to hear anything back when I do will update again.
P.S. I changed the 3/4G icons to the Droid 4 style where it shows LTE next to the 4G.

Curious... will this fix all the random glitches the update caused?
Also just to be clear... i just install via cwm, wipe cache and devlik and i'm good?
Its late at night and i am probably over thinking things

That's right on the installation, but myself and the app developer are hashing out how to fix the status bar issues. Some work & the rest don't lol. Good luck!

So far I am waiting for a response from Jared, ROM toolbox developer. I have emailed him my SystemUI.apk and the framework-res.apk so not only will this benefit me but perhaps a future re-vamped ROM Toolbox Pro.

They are stock image files to basically start from scratch to build your phone in case of a disaster or soft-brick.
