[Guide] [Recovery] [Heimdall] Clockwork Mod 3.1.0.1 Purple Heimdall

Heimdall CWM 3.1 guide​
On Gingerbread, only flash Clockwork and not the Kernel.
Hi. I'm here to post a guide to installing ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 on your Epic with Heimdall. I'm doing this because me and some other people had our phones bricked by the 3.0.2.5 one click root and this worked for me.
Step 1: Download and extract heimdall from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Step 2: Boot your phone into download mode by holding the 1 key and pressing power after either a battery pull or simply turning your phone off and connect it to your USB Port
If You are running Mac or Linux, skip Steps 3-5. Your drivers install automatically.
Step 3: Open Zadig.exe from /drivers in the extracted folder
Step 4: Go to options> list all devices.
Step 5: Select to Install the Samsung Android USB Composite Driver from the list.
Note: It may say it has an unknown publisher (or something similar), ignore it. I am 100% sure that it's safe.
Step 6: Download CWM from http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTools/cwm3.1.0.1.purple.zip
Step 7: Download Drockstar kernel from http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicKernel/DRockstar.Clean.Kernel.EC05.v1.05.zip
Step 8: Put the zimage from /kernel in the CWM Zip in the recovery slot
Step 9: Put the zImage from /kernel in the Drockstar Clean Kernel Zip in the Kernel slot.
Step 10: Press start and it should work.
It's quick and easy. Should only take about 5 minutes from start to finish.
I am not responsible for bricked phones or Michelle Bachann, or Sarah Palin or the Iraq War or the deficit, but I am responsible for cute puppies and rainbows and butterflies.

Thanks for the support, bro.

Purple looks so much better than the old orange/green. Credit goes to Drockstar. All I did was make a guide for Heimdall.

Well, I can confirm this will actually work... I was planning on releasing an odin tar version of the cwm bml8 kernel, for situations like that.
To clarify the issue, sometimes when bml8 is flashed with cwm, somehow that partition gets borked, and once you try to 3 finger into it, the phone won't boot normally at all.
The quickest fix to this, is using heimdall with the phone in download mode, as described in the original post of this thread. You can just flash the cwm 3.1.0.1 zImage to recovery, as described to fix it quickly, without the need to flash entire stock tar, and erasing all your data.
I will make odin tar flashes for both the cwm 3.1.0.1, and the Clean Kernel, that can be flashed with odin, for those that don't have heimdall installed yet.
Also note, that I had a lot of bml8 flash failures in testing, when the kernel was rather large, especially when pushing the limits of what the kernel could handle. This has been the main reason for me slimming down the zImage sizes for both cwm, and the Clean Kernel. Since reducing the cwm and Clean Kernel zImage file sizes, botched flashes have been very rare.
Plus, when gingerbread official is released, the *only* way to root it, will be to flash a rooted kernel with odin or heimdall, since the exploits used by one click root scripts have all been patched. As of official gingerbread for the epic, expect no one click root scripts to work with it... something I've posted already in the general section, but I doubt very many people have read.

Thank you for the warning. Sorry if I bricked your phone.
I couldn't flash CWM without the kernel on EC05.

Can someone give a simple but informative description of the difference between Heimdall CWM and OCR CWM , just to help educate some of us who are still fairly new to Rooting & ROMing ( I hope I'm not the only person who would be interested ) THX !

There is no difference. They are the same thing. This is jist another way of flashing recovery to the phone. Thats all. Its still the same cwm

Thank You ! I thought I was missing out on something - someone else told me Heimdall was for folks with Macs so I was just curious. Have A Good Day !

Am I right in saying skip the kernel flash if you are running a non-stock (Twilight for example) kernel?

It is, but it's also available for Windows and Linux/Unix/*Nix/GNU. Also, I had better luck with Heimdall than OneClickRoot, as OneClickRoot bricked my phone, but OneClick may be better for you.

Quick guide for flashing Gingerbread KF1 and rooting

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!
I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

thanks for the write up man

I want to do that but I haven't learn how to do anything beyond deodexed. I also still haven't had time to learn how to add "extras" like extended power menu or additional lock screens.
If someone wants to PM the instructions or a link to do so, I'll be happy to do and have it ready tomorrow.

Do we really need another Odin guide? Write one on heimdall. It's open source and actually maintained. It also has a lower brick rate.

Honestly I have never used Heimdall and have never had an issue with ODIN. With that said I also have no objection if anyone wants to write up the parts for Heimdall here or by PMing me, I'll add to it the first post. I am not about to reflash again just to learn a new process when the old one has not given me a single issue.

made a deodex version, just dont know what to do with it
its not ready for flash or anything and its just deodexed using illdroid.
Doesn't matter anyways until we get CWM working...

There's really nothing new to learn. It looks and loads almost exactly like Odin. Not sure what processes are different when you push the start button though. I'm not pushing heimdall, just conveying what i've seen with it. I used once to load the last Andro3.

Loving this ROM stock and all. Has anyone seen if 3e recovery (I think its called) has been enabled yet for KF1? Id like to be able to flash stuff again. Alternatively if anyone has a method for flashing items via a program that would be great as well.

[Q] possible brick.......duno for sure

Hi guys, irecently attempted to flash a rom to make my phone more awesome but I feel I fudged up. My mounts were not set right I think but my phone still booted up like it should.....but on first boot my screen looked like a bill cosby sweater but that went away. Now. When I try to go nto recovery or dl mode,my screen is black n goes to normal boot. Did I damage my recovery? N if so can I get it back?
Tried to turn it on again n I just get bootloops, still no recovery or dl mode.
Also in rom manager it said cwm and recovery were present, but when I tried to go into recovery I got the same.
Any and I mean any help would b appreciated....thank you

You flashed gb. For that you need the bootloaders for gb. Until you get those you will always have the rainbow scree on boot and no recovery. Find and flash the kg4 leak that will straiten things out.

Yes you need Odin. Just check out the Bible and grab the Samsung USB drivers for you computer then install Odin. Then learn to boot into download mode. And you will be ready for flashing. There is a tutorial also in the Bible on flashing with odin. Here is the Bible link, learn it well if you intend on keeping the phone. Happy modding

Again......many, many thanks to you

Step 1. look at the bible. Look for the kg4 rom, pit file and odin are included in the download.
Step 2. to get into download mode, pull out the battery, plug in your phone, hold BOTH the volume up and down buttons, then plug in the battery. Congrats. Youre now in download mode.
Step 3. unzip all the files from the .rar file you just downloaded.
step 4. start odin and input all the files in the corresponding order. It tells you where each file goes.
step 5. Click start and wait.
step 6. your phone now works.

[MODEM][ODIN + CWM] KI3 Modem

I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
This is ONLY the modem, not a full ROM.
I take no credit for this, I only extracted the modem.bin from the KI3 ROM leak.
Here is the new KI3 modem in Odin and CWM flashable form. Simply flash with Odin, or use the CWM recovery image. Enjoy!
CWM Package: http://www.mediafire.com/?gr0ukfoezffz8bt
Odin Package: http://www.mediafire.com/?q4tvvo8a91osv91
EDIT
For those wondering I was able to flash this with both Odin and CWM with EXT4 enabled on all partitions, if it even matters I have no clue.

Oops wrong thread!
-Sent From My Amazing Galaxy S 4G-

this is the one everyone's using on KJ6 to bypass the plaguing 'message not sent' garbage yes?
if so, can I have a quick set of instructions on how to flash it please (like there should be in the OP)
I've got root on stock 236, I've installed/set up CWM (recovery in bin folder, zip on SD) and I've got root explorer installed..
I'm also aware of this flash tutorial, but being an Android beginner, I'm unsure if that's what we need to do for modem only..
so insight and instructions would certainly be appreciated

Not going to flame as it hinders things and I just read a very long angry post from bh about how annoying the community has gotten lol.
Its not the OPs responsibility to provide full flash instructions for roms. But if you have CWM already its really easy.
Select zip to install click the modem zip file, clear the cache and wa la.
Now if you don't have CWM just put the modem file in the modem section in ODIN and make sure the bootloaders box is unchecked and you're good.
Flashing a modem is not much different than flashing any Rom (except for the lower chances of things going wrong hehe)
Now what I will say asking this question here instead of just using the search or google only wastes your own time as well as other peoples time
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

search and google? LOL ..yeah, I've done that, and I get 2 dozen variations on how to flash - in one tutorial they say to use Odin (but they don't tell you how to use it urhr), in another tutorial, there's no mention of Odin what-so-ever - in yet another tutorial, links point to the Froyo only CWM - and in yet another, there's links pointing to the GB CWM.. and in another there's no mention of using any CWM at all so...
not to be cynical, but I've seen a lot of amagad whining about noobs and android beginners.. but if someone would actually put together a point blank step by step tutorial(s) without being so arrogant as to 'keep it in the community' by being ambiguous with their answers and/or excluding certain crucial or needed instructions in their tutorials, there wouldn't be an excess of noobs asking the 'wrong questions'
you'll always get a few knuckleheads, stupidity's inevitable.. but for the most part, dumb questions would be minimal and posted 'thank you's maximized because the available instructions are clear, informative and concise ..so in more ways than one, kats are bringn it on themselves by being vague and/or self-centered enough to completely skip over certain steps because 'myself and everyone here already knows that -or- there's already a tutorial on that little crucial part somewhere else on the web urhr'
I'm not trying to be an assO here.. but damn people, isn't this just common freakn sense? lol
but thanks for the Re Hampster, after 7 hours and cross-referencing 8 different tutorials, I got it flashed and working

Odin Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
Just make sure you skip the parts about flashing a new rom.
Grab the CWM file he posted and put it on your SD card. Remember where you saved it.
I assume you already know how to flash using CWM since you have your phone rooted?
If you don't, go in the market and grab Quick Boot
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Once you got it installed open it and tap Recovery. Allow with SuperUser.
Once you're in CWM (red lettered text) select Install zip from sd card using the volume keys and confirm using power.
Select choose zip from sd card
Find the zip file for the KI3 modem. Select it and select Yes - Install ki3modem.zip or whatever it's called.
Your screen will flash blue/white text and might go blank for a moment. After this you can reboot. You can verify that you have the KI3 modem by going into Settings > About phone and checking the modem version under Baseband version.

honestly, I think it's easier to just grab one of DrHonk's rooted kernels from the dev section and flash that via ODIN, and it also gets you CWM.
Just make sure you don't try to flash a gingerbread (2.3.x) kernel over a froyo (2.2.x) rom and vice versa

Can i do this running 2.2.1? Like updating from Froyo to this firmware, or do I have to update to something else first?

Dr Honk also has froyo kernels posted. Also you could try any of the great roms here as most of them are rooted. Just be sure to read the Noobs guide to flashing very carefully. In the Android developement section RaverX3X has posted the latest stock kernel + root + deodexed + debloat. Your best bet if you want stock.

The only problem I'm having with this root is I can't get Wi-Fi to work.

I'm confused what is exactly the "this" you need to install get back the wifi. I got it rooted and on GB 2.3.6 but confused on what I need to do to get back wifi.

If you just want root, you can use the latest SuperOneClick. If you want root/CWM/voodoo lagfix you can:
- Install drhonk's kj1 kernel via ODIN
- Install bhundven's KJ6 Heimdall One-Click
I suggest the latter as it's based on the KJ6 kernel & only needs Java to install.

This is in my opinion the easiest way, the fastest way, and therefore the best way.
