[KERNEL] ClockworkMod Kernel

I take no credit for this one. @Koush released a zImage for a kernel on the @clockworkmod account. Flash this then install Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager.
Don't know any more details than that. Thats all he tweeted. Don't know about switching kernels back afterwards or anything, but hey give it a shot. I just know flashing a zImage on the Epic isn't half as easy as on the Nexus or Evo and most people can't handle it, so I made this zip to flash via recovery.
Insert typical liability disclaimer here. I'm not responsible. Yada yada.
I can't fix bugs with this one. Not my code. Talk to @koush. I haven't even flashed this yet. I'll be doing so in the morning. Let me know how it works

Cool..I'll give it a try..flashing it now

Do anyone know the new key mapping for the this clockwork? I was just getting use to the other way.

Yay.. Flashed and installed..
No overclocking, but the Kernal is Dumb Fast.. I wonder.. What happens? Do we keep it.. Change it.. Asking Him now..
Quickboot is still out the question on a recovery reboot. The key combo is still needed..

Yes, but since it is only the kernal.. Just rename it to Update.zip and let her do her thing.. I believe that should work as well.. As it is signed and it is a zImage.

I selected "reboot" and pressed the home capacitive buttonand had to do a battery pull.
Put the battery back in and it loaded into stock recovery. Selected reboot phone again and this time it rebooted the phone correct way...and i still had root and clockwork.

You can odin a ROM that's gotten rooted so you can use quickreboot or adb to get into recovery mode, then you can use CWM from there if you had it installed already. I just had to flash an old rooted ROM to be able to get to recover my CWM backup.

Thanks will update original post

Ah man I just got my phone to my liking lol.
I think I'll wait a bit though as this is almost like a KC1 for froyo. Leaked build, so there will probably be a final build avail via OTA and Kies.

nothing better to do might as well flash and play lol worse comes to worse can always odin back and recover with clockwork

super!
flashing rite now. let you guys know how it goes later.

Just curious ....Anyone else not able to get into download mode or stock recovery via ANY METHOD ?

Just flashed with no problem. Everything seems to work fine. I dont see much changes just some of the menu settings. Phone seems to run smooth. Gonna use it for a bit and let you guys know.
Thanksssssssssssssssss!!!

To going to download mode first you must open ODIN. Assume your phone is off. Then press and hold the volume + and - then plug the USB to your PC. You should see a BIG yellow triangle on the phone said Download mode. Hope this helps.

Keymapping is changed in GB. Not familiar with your phone nut on the original Vibrant GB bootloaders now require one volume key instead of two.

My final steps.... :D

Hey guys, I'm finally gonna flash GB, i know this ain't big news to any of you, but it is to me haha. So, i'm going to list the steps i'm going to take to flash it, these are according to the guides i've watched and read, but weren't specific enough to me. PREPARE TO READ.
By the way, my files are: KG4 leak by chadster, KG4 kernel with root&voodoo by Dr.Honk, and Valhalla ROM by Whitehawkx. PROPS TO THESE AWESOME DEVS!
1)Boot into recovery, and disable voodoo, reboot again to ensure re-conversion to rfs.
2)Boot into recovery again, this time go to: advanced>partition>create one with 2048(whatever that means? o_o)
3)Open up odin(I'm using 1.85), power off phone, Enter download mode, hold two volume keys, plug in USB.
4)Enter files according to file name.
PIT-Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA-CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5
Phone-T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5
CSC-SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5
(I've heard that re-partition checks itself on while entering the files, and that you should leave it on.)
5)DOUBLE CHECK, I don't wanna brick my phone!
6)HIT START! WOO, hope it'll work for me.
7)If the phone boots, you can let it boot up then Power Off it, or do a battery pull.
8)Hit reset on odin, then re-enter Download Mode, via instruction #3.
9)This time, click PDA, and find Dr.Honks KG4 kernel w/ root&voodoo that you downloaded.
10)HIT START! WOO!
11)This is confusing to me, as according to the guides and videos, YOU CAN battery pull when it boots or Power off after boot-up and enter Recovery by holding Volume keys and Power/Unlock simultaneously(which means at the same time) and release when it boots up. It should boot up into RED CWM, then i'll want to check mounts(OR SHOULD I WIPE EVERYTHING: DATA,CACHE,DAVLIK first?)and make sure that they're UMMU.
12)Go to the main screen of recovery, select zip from sd, select (INSERT ROM OF CHOICE HERE), I'm flashing valhalla, it's been a tough debate of audiophile FTW or that.
13)LET IT FLASH YO!
14)I should end up in recovery still, recheck mounts.
15)(NOT POSITIVE IF THIS'LL WORK, but I'm trying)Flash busyboxinstaller.zip from FB's starter guide thread.
16)After that's done, go to the voodoo section, enable it on next boot, then REBOOT.
17)PRAY THAT IT'LL CONVERT(DAMN WELL BETTER!)
18)If it booted up, and errrrthang's all good. I'll enjoy a cup of coffee and some GINGERBREAD.
Well, that wasn't too much was it? Please comment to recorrect my errors or to say I'm good to go, as this will be my way of flashing GB. I'll appreciate any feedback AS LONG AS I GET FEEDBACK.
P.S- I would love it if some devs would also help give me the green light.
Thanks awesome community!

you don't need to use the pit file but every thing else looks good to me

Looks good flash away
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

sweet, thanks!

Looks like you've done you're homework and you should be good.. Not sure but I think that newer roms don't need the mount unmounts, as was case for me and icbinb.. You should be good. Good luck

They should just sticky this so that everyone one else flashing from froyo can just follow these directions

I made the mistake of not backing it up and lost EVERYTHING lol
Question..... if per say u get a new phone and Odin the same GB release do u have to redo the whole partioning of the sd card again? even if u did it prior on ur other phone?

Yeah, I've been reading up on GB ever since the KG4 leak, just been afraid to actually flash it, due to no experience with ODIN. This wasn't really supposed to be a guide, just a reassurance for me. But I don't mind people using it as one, I tried to make it as specific as possible. I appreciate the feedback guys, it makes me feel secure. LOL
P.S- I still haven't flashed it yet, I noticed my micro usb it fitting very loosely on my 4G, and since one mistake in ODIN can doom your phone, I'm extremely cautious. BUT I WANT GB! GAAAHHHHHH.

From stock 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 gb? I would use the same method in the op. But i would skip the voodoo steps in the begin because if i started from stock 2.2.1, all i would need to do is access download mode to odin kg4 leak. This is because it's easier to start without voodoo i think. And after flashing the kg4 kernel, you'll have voodoo recovery back. If linda wont convert, i guess you just repartition again. it's almost the same as the method i will use, someday... LOL.

Lol...did you flash it/need help with anything?

I have everything i need(i think) and im really anxious to flash it, but the damn possibility of bricking is killing me haha.

Well as stated in this thread

You will need to remove permissions then reflash for it to stick.
Since you don't want to purchase root explorer you can try opening terminal emulator and try this
su
chmod 000 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Should remove all permissions. Tested it myself.

ES File Explorer is free and you can change permissions. Root of course required. Check settings to make sure you've granted it Root Explorer and Mount System Writable.

Whoever said they don't want to buy Root Explorer is making a serious mistake. re, along with Titanium Backup Pro, is one of the essential apps for any root user. That being said, ES File Explorer is a pretty good alternative, and TI Free is usable.

I too have gotten this problem with saying different partitions aren't mountable...3 times since late last night. I understand very well how to Odin back to stock ep4, take the update to fp1, get cwm to stick then flash my rom of choice. I am just wondering what is causing this though. I literally just got cwm (0302) to stick and was going to restore a backup I made so I formatted all the partitions in cwm and went to restore my backup and bam! system not mountable again. I'm going to try the 4.x version and see if I still get this issue. Going through the process of repartitioning and then getting back to my recovery is a huge PITA and a very long process.

To get back to EP4 Stock go here
Then there will be 2 over the air upgrades from Verizon. Take them both.
You can just flash CWM and be rooted stock if you want but the best alternative is this. Use the Odin version "Tweaked v3.0 ROM + 0302 CWM recovery". It's one step to being rooted on the best available rom.
If you want to be on rooted stock get CWM here
If you want a pictorial guide to using Odin go here

epic touch flashing

Im trying to figure all this out and do it safely. I guess I bricked my 1st phone blue light only no power? I'm hoping to NOT do it again :good: ... Not very easy to get help around these forums since most ppl think you should already know. Im on ff18 and root per Qbkings vid, agat 0.2.1. Im timid on flashing now due to the brick. I have flshed about 10 roms when i was on el29 and never had any problems until i tried to flash an ICS rom.
So if im on ff18 root agat can I just use the format all and flash safely. And also how do you know when your going between roms that you are doing it safe? I want to try a few out?
Gtalk or emial [email protected] for any help offered.
Thank you in advance

Even though there is custom recoveries for ics. Many of us still use the tried and true method by using the el26 kernel.
Also format all does not play well with ics. Just wipe caches and do a factory wipe.

Cool so stay away from the caulk format all?
I flashed gingerbread roms over and over, after a bit my restores wouldn't work , then went for the milestone rom and bricked... I was supposed to use el26 according to vid and I think I tried to do it using clockwork instead of Odin(was I supposed to use Odin)? The only time I've used Odin was to root when I was on el29 and to root after i got ff18 ota. So do you use Odin each time and install the 26 kernel each time I want to install a new rom to be safe? ( if so then cool but I want to make sure I understand ) do I also have to are install cwm each time ( like meaning a safe version of it )
Right now the few rooms I'm seeing that I would like to try is cm9, the universe rom, and I hear about the " goodness rom"?
OK, so heres situation I'm on agat 2.1 and ff18 . Out of those three can I just download the rom and flash one or do I need to go to the 26 kernel and then do it EVERYTIME to be safe? I was sent a link for a safe kernel and said to " use and flash "? That just doesnt make complete sense to me yet?
Any and all is soooooo appreciated! I'm going to get this figured out so I can be comfortable and pros like some of you! I m really looking forward to it and if anybody wants to help a bit you can hit my email and I will not try to just waste ur time lol...

Odin el26- make sure it is in the pda slot.
Go into recovery. From there I wipe dalvik, cache, factory 3 times apiece. You don't have to do it that much, it just gives me piece of mind.
Flash rom from zip. Reboot. Then I flash my modem through Odin- make sure the modem bin file is in the phone slot.
Hit run wait for it to reboot and enjoy.
Also don't worry about asking me any questions unlike most of the xda members I'm not a prick that will tell you search and read.
I can read a calculus book until I'm blue in the face. Doesn't mean I'm going to know how to do calculus after unless I'm given some guidance.
My current setup is -
Cm9- 6/21 build from Chris g
Kernel- ff11
Modem- el29

Odin v1.81 will not see phone in download mode
Hi,
my Epic4gTouch is currently on IMM761.FH13 and I want to go back to prerooted EL29.
I follow the instructions from this link by sfhub
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634
I downloaded and loaded Odin3Excution v1.81
a) Put my phone into download mode with power and volume up.
1) The software never recognized my phone and I get no yellow com port. My window 7 PC does recognize my phone even in download mode.
2) If I do the same thing for my wife's phone which is still on GB then it sees the com port, but not on the phone with ICS installed already.
I tried to search and see if people have the same issue and did not find anything. For those who have already downgraded from ICS to EL29
can you please tell me which software you use and how you did it.
Thank you,
-Doan

Btw download mode is power and volume DOWN then once your there you press the up button you get into download mode before plugging in.
If odin doesnt recognize phone with yellow com ..try a different cable
hope it helps
