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 rooted my Thunderbolt with no problems. But how do I flash Roms and Kernels?
For instance. I was in ROM Manager and i wanted a Kernel. I downloaded it and it said to start in Recovery. I come from a Fascinate. I am use to seeing a green screen. Instead, This phones boots to the white screen. The same screen I saw when rooting and had to push the PG05 file.
It always, only lets me check Boot loader, Where it then updates something and it takes a long time. So it updates and says Reboot. I restart and I am back to freaking stock and wants me to set up my phone for first use. This is really annoying. What am i doing wrong? I now have to root it all over again I feel like a dog chasing his tail.

You didn't flash the recovery. Open up ROM Manager and at the top click flash clockwork recovery and follow the prompts. You can't flash anything until you have a recovery.
Nothing fishy. I am honestly in need of help. As for posting in the wrong spot, I apologize. I do not usually post here, Just read.
I re rooted and flashed clockwork. I put a kernel on my sd card. Removed the PG05 file.
I then went back to ROm Manager and selected Reboot to recovery.
It took me to the white screen again. I push BOOTLOADER
And it flashes something quick. I read PG05 as it scrolls fast. But i took that off?
The Zip i placed on the card never tries to read.
So whats wrong? Why doesnt the Clockwork screen look like it did in past?
I am not pulling anything. I really can not figure this out.
I dont need your link mexiken, Thanks. Can i leave a couple for you?

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.

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

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.
Quick question guys... I was reading that cm7 RC 1 can be installed by only rooting your phone and then using rom manager. Is this true or are there other steps required? I know there used to be other things that needed to be done but maybe with the new RC is got easier?

Well, even though you could do it with only ROM manager and root it is highly recommended that you flash CWM recovery just in case anything goes bad you can always bring the recovery and reflash or restore.
Sent From My Stock G2x
^^^^^ agreed. The plain-jane method of rooting/RomManager/CWM works but if something happens where you can't get into RomManager (aka bootloop) then your SOL.
Do yourself a favor and spend 3 seconds and NVFlash. You only have to do it once and you will be forever able to save your skin if something goes bad.
Thanks guys.
So I root first (already done), NVFlash (done some reading but still not 100% sure what exactly this does or how to do it) and then set up cement recovery?

me neither, lol and to the other guy nvflash u want because say your phone goes into a bootloop what u gonna do? u cant do nothing but pull battery out then when u turn your phone on it just keeps bootlooping not letting u into the phone ever, well thats what would happen if u got a bad download or flashed the wrong thing by accident , dude accidents do happen, rom manager is what they call a fake flash, ..........now nvflash really puts recovery on your phone it over writes your stock recovery, and if your going into a bootloop u can pull battery put back in then hold vol down and power and bingo your in recovery, it looks the same as rom managers recovery, but with this one u can actually get into it and if your bootlooping u would just restore a nandroid or reflash another rom and your good, ....kinda a failsafe i live by it and dont use rom manager , and if u want to see your backups and rename them use astro zip in market its free too

How to setup and use NVflash.
Thanks for the heads up. I was just about to dive in with Rom Manager alone. REALLY don't need new problems.
According to Cyanogenmod's wiki you can flash recovery from ROM Manager, it says nothing about this NVFlash. I did this and rebooted into Clockwork and flashed CM7 RC1, and now I can't get back into Clockwork, just the default one, and ROM Manager can't execute anything, I can't connect to wifi and, I get various Force Close messages at start up. So is the wiki lying to me?
Do NOT question nvflash! You need this... nvflash makes the clockwork recovery permanent.. If you only flash through rom manager it only makes the recovery temporary and the next time you reboot you will lose recovery

It's almost like people don't read the threads about rooting. Every one that I read said, in no uncertain terms, you NEED to use NVflash if you want permanent root....
Sent from my butt using XDA Premium App
The thing is there is incomplete information all over the place and it changes constantly, and it's difficult to keep up on what is needed or not. Cyanogen's wiki doesn't say it's needed, and I figured that meant the problems with ROM Manager and Clockwork had been resolved in the most recent versions.

That's why I advocate, when in doubt, research some more. I didn't get the feeling that info was incomplete, everything I read said nvflash for permanent root and you can bet that the threads where people were asking for help because they were in a bootloop the first question asked was did you use nvflash... maybe cyanogen just figured that everyone already got recovery with nvflash, because you should have, and THEN it is safe to use RM...

I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket
Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted
