Bonsai unlocker/root - bye bye clockwork - Epic 4G Android Development

Saw Top Nurse post in the CWM2.5 thread they are actively working on a replacement for Clockwork mod
HOORAY!!!
there is a download available on bonsaigeek.com for windows/max/linux
this isn't necessary if your device is already rooted...and may or may not experience issues running over an already rooted device...
i haven't tested this thoroughly on an unrooted device
just posting that some love is in the works
i'm not affiliated with bonsai and i know nothing about the status of this development
MOD EDIT: Bonsai Not allowed due to rule non-complience

So shouldn't you let the Bonzai team make their own software announcements when they're ready?
Also, I don't see how this would replace Clockwork Recovery. It would replace One Click Root/Unroot, maybe.

yes i am not a protagonist of propaganda except this one particular post
because i for one would love to see an alternative to clockwork
this software looks to have the potential to push or possibly pull roms
and guess what...thats what

I guess, but it gets the job done with not much effort.

Way to make a thread in the wrong subforum....

Am I the only one that misses Amon-Ra's recovery?

I used to run amon-ra back when i had my hero had no problems with it as it is very easy to use for the first timers, with my epic i havent had too much problem with clockwork and its a little bit deeper than amon-ra in my opinion.

I found it more reliable, I mean, I didnt have to wipe 3 times to flash a ROM and then we got GodSpeed Recovery, good times!

I know I hate CWM. I miss the custom recovery I had on my Moment, and my Transform, and my Hero, and my Evo. It is bs having to wipe 3 times, and it doesnt work right in the first place half the time.

From what I understand about this bonsai unlocker is right now it will root and install a custom recovery. So its just like the one clicks on here but a little smoother. It flashes the bonsai recovery which is cwm 3.0.2.8. In the future you will be able to use this tool to flash bonsai roms. So I don't think cwm is going anywhere. Someone correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't been involved to much right now due to being so busy with stuff but I'm trying to play catch-up.

Thread closed. This is not only in the incorrect section, but Bonsai violated XDA rules and is thus not allowed. Thank you.

EVO Shift Root gone wrong - I really need help please.

I tried the one click root method (Shift Root and Recovery) and got the clockwork recovery installed. I put the cyanogen 7 on the sd card and it seemed to take alright, but now all I get is the HTC splash screen when I reboot. I can get back to recovery and mount the SD card, but nothing else. My SD card did not have the update.zip file. I thought that is what the cyanogen file was for, but now I think I screwed up.
Can anyone help? Have I permenantly killed my phone?
I can go into recovery. I did not do a nano backup. I backed up my wimax. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
I followed the Shift root and recovery steps. It said back up your data... It was supposed to be a one-click root.

Well as a precaution you should always back up your data, just for that "what if" moment that happens every now and again.
Try posting in the shift forum ?

Moving an EVO shift problem to the EVO SuperSonic forum probably isn't going to help MOD.
yea what arnezie said! ^^^
it might be better to follow the Evo Shift forums and ask in there...considering they use the Shift there
heres a link to the rooting thread for the Shift...i suggest either making a new thread in the General area there or post in this thread:

Maybe he moved it here because we are more experienced lol? Either way to op, if you can boot into recovery, put a rom on an extra sdcard and flash off that. Problem solved.
That's what I would like to do, but apparently the rom I am using is not working. Where can I find a different one that will work? When I do the "install zip from sd card in clockwork i don't get any error, but when I reboot it's back to the htc screen... Does it matter that I didn't have an update.zip file? I selected the zip file (cyanogen 7) from the sd card... Is that the same thing?
If you could just direct me to the right place that would be great. I cannot move the thread because I am too new. It would have to be moved by someone with that ability. Thanks to anyone that will lend a hand.
Alright put the cm7 file on ur sdcard then go to recovery and wipe data/factory reset then clear cache and go to advance and clear dalvik cache then go to install zip from SD card option and pick cm7
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
I tried that and end up in the same place. It flashes the rom awfully quick. Like within 30 seconds. Its like an 80MB file. It doesn't give an error, but I suspect it isn't taking...
That seems right like the right time it takes to flash ....so it didn't work?
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Try flashing one that's closer to the original rom. Here are a few.

Just as a heads up, posts of this nature shouldn't go in the Development section they should be placed in the Q&A section. Another thing to remember as well, is to make sure you use the search function of the forum. I know it seems like a hassle when you have a problem with your phone and all you want is immediate answers, but a lot of the time you'll find your answer faster by searching rather than posting your question since someone has probably had the same problem before you.
Just letting you know so that you don't get slapped with any infractions for not following the rules.

MIUI Going Open Source

I know this has been posted in other sections of XDA, for other phones, and being discussed in the MIUI thread itself, but just in case you didn't know, this is potentialy awesome.
MIUI going open source! http://www.androidcentral.com/miui-rom-going-open-source
I like certain aspects of MIUI myself (system setting anyone? freaking awesome!), but since I live in a "better than average 4G" area, I don't use it.
This might change everything.
Discuss? Interest? Opinions? Further information?
I would love for a Dev here to pick it up and see if they can make it happen for this device.
Sent from R2's G2
I have downloaded all the files they have available. Converted the chinese files to english and will start working with it this week.
This would be great!
Best of luck. I love MIUI on my g2 back then. I always followed the devs work on the phone. So many haters said it would not work but now MIUI is a supported Rom for the g2.

CWM 5.0.2.3 Installed On My Nexus S4g

Was just checking the ClockWork Mod recovery home page to see what the latest version for my phone and found it to be v 5.0.2.0. I found v5.0.2.3 (which is on my nexus) and it is listed for the Motorola Droid only.
How the hell did that happen? Funny thing is I have been using it without a problem since December.
Like I've said in the past, my phone is very tolerant.

lol, or forgetting that the home button is the yes and hitting the power button and you go back or reboot and get all mad!!!
lulz
Not particularly fond of any of the touch recoveries. I have large hands and when i have to choose an item in a list my fingertips normally cover two to three selections. I often have to try two or three times to get the right selection when items are in a list. While I have never used the cwm version, I have tried TWRP and that was the case. From what I've seen off cwm, it has the same type of lists.

I used to use twrp which I liked a lot, then twrp touch which is pretty horrible considering u can't tell what u selected. Now I'm using the latest cwm touch which is awesome. But the touch made for the gnex is butter

and to further hijack this thread...
whilst doing some 3am sleep flashing on cwm touch recovery, i formatted my sdcard instead of system. DOH! muscle memory got the better of fine motor skills r and i just touched where i knew i needed to touch and BAM... everything gone. lol. It was awesome but i reverted back for the moment.

[ROM] 4KMod AC4-ICS Android 4.0!!!

[ROM] 4KMod AC4? I think yes
So AC3 is coming out after AC4.
Here is why:
AC3 I really want to have aroma on, it is CM7 based, and I really want AC3 to be my last update for the CM7 base ROM.
AC4 is based on MIUI.us ICS ROM
Download here (Blog link)
Install:
(Put the download on the root of your SDCard.)
**WARNING INSTALL AT OWN RISK
Installing 4KCM7 A4 ROM:
This will be the same for any of my ROM's unless otherwise stated.
Step 1: Reboot your Evo into recovery mode
Step 2: Select Data Wipe/Factory Data Reset
Step 3: Select Install zip from SDCard
Step 4: Select The Rom you downloaded
Step 5: Patience
Step 6: When it is done flashing, reboot.
There you go folks, 4KMod is now flashed to your phone.
Please post or email or PM me at [email protected] forums any bugs you find.
Thank you
