[Answer] Clockwork Mod Recovery is NOT WORKING...

After seeing multiple threads about CWM, I decided to put this up in hopes that we don't clutter the development area with the same topic.
As of right now CWM is not working for our device. We have to wait for the developer to update CWM to be compatible with our device. Yes you can still install it and boot into recovery, however, not all the options will work. And some users have reported that it screwed up their phone somehow. You can try it but you might be risking damage to your phone. Everyone just be patient CWM will be on our devices soon. Team Whiskey has already stated that they have some ROMS up and ready for our device to be installed once we get CWM.

If anyone wants to try to port Clockwork to the 4G Koush has put up a tutoriol here

Anyone going to give it a shot? If be willing to..dunno much about building though. Just learning it recent

Otherwise, continue on the to the guide!
This guide will assume you have some familiarity with doing an Android Build.
This guide will work for phones that use a standard Android boot image format. This guide will not work for Samsung phones which use an initramfs.

ill send him my phone if i can contact him, i have 3 vibrants and a venue pro to play with while my phone is with him
However my 4g is one of the ones with the busted CWM install that needs the factory tar to get it back to original recovery so ill have to check if he can work with my phone or not, shouldnt hurt as the phone still functions fine but we shall see.

that would be awesome, hopefully he can get it working. coming from a vibrant and a mt4g i'm getting really anxious to start flashing roms for this baby.

Ok, i contacted koush and im going to try to send him my phone today VIA USPS Priority so i can help you guys get CWM installed. lots of <3 for the dev community. I'm new to XDA but i was one of the first guys that got a custom firmware for the Verizon RAZR going but haven't done much modding since.
Big thanks to koush and krylon for all the hard work.

If any of the senior members think that this will affect CWM dev let me know. i have insurance on the phone but i dont really want to run it over with my car to get a relacement lol. ive had the phone about a week so i guess i could still exchange it, but i cant really think of a good reason to tell the folks at T-mobile why i need an exchange. hook me up this way i can just send koush an unopened/unmolested 4g if needed.

Ok guys, just got the email back from koush, unfortunately, this is it. Hit me up with a thanks for the effort if your feeling gracious

Any one with a mirror that downloads more than 42kbps.

I tried this and got stuck as to where it kept going back to clockwork recovery, so I had to restore a backup.

for me to explain the 'whole' process would take a whole new thread. and it would be a sticky. if you really want to learn i invite you over to the team whiskey irc. if you get in the irc there are a few ppl who can walk you through it. but i would offer up more than a thx for their time. offer to donate to their paypal or something.

may be a stupid question but does this flash the radio too? Or do I have to do that afterwards.

testers needed for rom *need 3*

Well title says it all, im doing a blind build and i got one person testing for me but i think it'll be faster for all to just get a few more on board. If you want to help hit me up on here. First 3 will be taken if they meet the following criteria's
Needed from testers:
1. Must know how to Odin back to stock (aka if you soft brick you can get back to stock) the current build loads up just fine.
2. Must have efs backup ( you never know when flashing)
3. Must know how to do logcat ( adb logcat > logcat.txt)
4. Lastly, actually want to to test long term, like with updates and stuff I put into it.
Of course the people who decide to test I ask don't leak anything til it's ready
I have 3 roms for the SGS4G, 1 for the LG and well working on this one so I know what I am doing If you do decide to help I will have an update rom this weekend unless you want to test current build.
Well let the fun begin!

I know I posted really late and not alot of people have seen it but if you guys don't want me to try its cool just let the mods know to close this.

Things I have learned with this update.
1) You MUST be 100% stock, with root before attempting the update, and even then, just wait and do the rooting after the ICS update.
the reason is because the update even checks the sum for the logcat program, which we use to hijack boot for the CWM recovery. I was completely stock 2.3.6 with bootstrap CWM on boot and root, and it would still not update.
2) Use RSDlite for the stock restore, as any scripts tend to do something funny when restoring boot, the ONLY way I got the update to take was to use RSDlite. I tried my scripts and I also tried a few others and it still did not work.
3) As has already been reported, cheesecake does not work on ICS, so you are pretty much stuck here.
4) Do not try to download the update and flash with CWM! Sorry but it will not work, it must be done with the stock recovery.
I am sure there is more, and time comes I will add to this.

Does it have any special features? Anything different from the usual, don't know if you could write a changelog. Sorry if it's too much.

I was very happy to help, Scott. I know from experience the ROM is worth the wait! Thanks again for looking out for us T-Mo folks!
Being the guinea pig, I can confirm 100% that everything works perfectly. It does take about 5 mins to wipe and 5 mins to install so don't freak out!

The biggest thing is he now has a base. I sent Scott our system dump and boot.img files and he put something together, and while he couldn't test it, I did at the risk of bricking my phone so we can all have a clean base for ROMS. You're welcome

Click to collapse
There are zero advantages to the "average" person. None at all...
Unless you fall into these categories...
1. Screwed your phone up and half the things just don't work right because you "read something on the internet to make your phone (battery last longer, speed it up, random useless failed feature here)" and it didint quite go the way you expected it to and you cannot send TXT messages (just a random made up example). This would be a great way to fix that...
2. You flashed "Dev A's" ROM and you realized that the color (random color here) is not for you and you are about to go insane but are on the road so you can just flash this back to get back to a stock look.
3. You want to build your own ROM for personal use and you really dont know where to begin but you know what apps you DONT want in the phone. Yo could use this base to get started.
4. Your another Dev that doesnt have the experience of setting up a stock rooted ROM and may need to use this base to get started. Many people use my stock rooted ROMS across a MULTITUDE of devices because they trust that they are as close to perfect in all aspects as possible. (I was a newb once too and needed to use other stock roots).
If you dont fit into those categories... Then this rom has no value to you.
