Alternatively, just read my installation instructions:

I think I'm going to start using a rar format - might be a way to differentiate between the actual release and the update.zip inside. Not sure why I didn't think of that, before.

Still not that simple for me, since even a "Gtablet Vet" like myself tried the OP method and failed. My second out of box new Gtablet went in perma-loop when simply installing straight to 2.0, via recovery folder & update.zip. Ended up having to get CW on the device by putting on the sd card, remapping command and stopping the loop with power + volume to get CW installed. I then had to install TnT 1.02 and then finally got 2.0 installed after that (cache and data wipe of course).
Cleanest way seems install 1.02 via recovery folder / update.zip method and then install 2.0 the same way. Thats is unless I just had bad luck with second Gtablet. VERY possible.
added:
Frankly, we seem at the stage now where CW seems a survival requirement- IF you want to keep trying new roms & updates.

u didn't think of it because it was only a problem to ppl that half read the instructions, downloaded the zips and just tried to install as-is...
Also don't understand why ppl want to keep standard recovery, clockwork is made to install custom roms so its easier for these task

The only issue with cwm is that it's not easy to remove it, once you have it. I think you need to use nvflash to get rid of it. I love cwm but I can't assume that everyone uses it.
And trust me, not everyone does. I sees posts here and I get PM's as well, and many people are still using standard recovery.

Installing TnT 1.0 roms appears to zap CW pretty good.

I have found that you can put the stock recovery img (let's call it recovery-stock.img) on the sdcard and get an adb shell while booted into cw recovery. Then it's just a
Code:
flash_image recovery recovery-stock.img
That should get you back to stock recovery.

I had to go back to stock at first because I kept getting status 7 errors with CW. Roebeet's suggestion to partition sdcard with CWR seems to have solved that.

Flashed 2.0.0
I liked TnT 2.0.0 and it really helped performance but the gtab is still full of issues....
Out of the box my Gtab's proprietary email and photo app forced closed before ever loading. the viewsonic update didn't fix it and so I flashed it with TnT 2.0.0.
I got a System UID's warning while I did it and I guess that was the cause of those apps not working. I then did a system reset to factory default or whatever its called and lost everything but after flashing TnT 2.0.0 again it worked a lot better and the email app worked great, photo app still doesn't work. My new problems are that the sound and and flash don't work anymore. I reinstalled flash and the browser just crashes whenever flash is involved with a site. Sound will sometimes work when I first boot up but it quits after a while, especially after waking from sleep. A lot of the time I get crackles and pops when I first boot up or wake it from sleep.
I am returning this Gtab and I am going to buy another one from somewhere else in hopes that I don't get these issues out of the box.....I haven't read anywhere that anyone has experienced these specific problems other than the sound; as this is a TnT error; so I warn all, DON'T BUY FROM STAPLES!!!

how to upgrade to froyo while retaining personal data using .zip file

so i finally decided to make the jump and give my epic some froyo love. i spent the majority of my weekend figuring out the best way to do this and wanted to share what i learned especially since this forum gave me invaluable information, scripts, and files that i pieced together to get my phone upgraded to my liking.
my phone was running a bone stock DI18 with the exception of removing a few sprint bloatware apps. what i wanted to do is install froyo DK28 while retaining my call log, text messages, 200+ apps, etc. the best way to do this is to use the DK28 zip file found here and applying it at boot. i tried flashing with odin at first but backing up and importing my old files would have been too much work.
a lot of people had problems with the update tripping up just like this--including me. so here is the workaround i came up with.
first i installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.0 according to this guide. next i cracked open the DK28 zip and found the script that runs the update. it is found in META-INF > com > google > android > updater-script. i found the code with all of the asserts in it and removed the code that checked for the bloatware that most people uninstall. i also removed code that checked for the boot screen animation because that tripped my update up as well.
from there i zipped the package back up, loaded it to my sd card, and booted into clockworkmod recovery. then i went to "Install zip from sdcard", made sure that signature verification was disabled, and then chose the modified DK28 zip from the sdcard. and that's it! once it was done applying the changes i had a fresh froyo upgrade with all my personal information intact.
after that i converted the filesystem to ext4 and flashed a new rom--system only. but what you do after installing the update is up to you of course.
i'll include the "updater-script" file that i modified in case you don't want to go thru the code line by line yourself. the whole package is too large to upload with it included so you will still have to unzip this attachment, download the DK28 update, unzip the update, and replace the file by yourself but this might make it a little easier. i hope this helps someone!

this didnt work for me, nor did installing the original update.zip.

what didn't work? was there an error message?

when trying to apply the update.zip with clockworkmod recovery mode, it runs it, doesnt finish and returns to the menu. When I try it with the stock recovery mode, it errors out saying signature verification failed.

do you have a bone stock version of eclair DI18? mine was with the lone exception being that i removed some of the sprint bloatware. i'll update my post because i probably should have mentioned that. there might be something in that updater-script that needs to be removed or modified to work with your setup. that's the only thing i can think of.

yes i think so. i saw them there but didn't test them. i had a few issues with some of the apps after i converted to ext4 and used cwm to advance restore the frankenstein rom's system underneath my data. i'm pretty sure that is what caused the problems with the apps. not the initial upgrade itself. i think i have a backup i can restore to check. i'll get back to you on that one

HELP! Getting an error trying to flash 2.5.1.4!

I've flashed it before, but decided to install evil's rom (reverted back to 2.5.1.2).. I didn't like it so I went back and restored CM7, now I can't flash 2.5.1.4.. I get an error saying "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". Please help! I'm new to these stuff, thanks guys.

Same thing happend to me this morning. it was weird cause before that i was flashing it fine in order to use CM7. I tried reboots but still nothing. I then just flashed ICE and used the rom manager from the ice Rom and it worked. I was able to flash 2.5.1.4. Try that.

How did it work? Share what you did.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.
Check the clockwork/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries folder on your SD card. Is there a .img file in there called recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img? If it's not in there that's why you can't flash it, because it can't find the file.
Not sure why the file was missing from the folder.. but thats what it turned out to be.
You should be able to download the image from: http://phones.crackflashers.com/glacier/recoveries/glacier-cwm3src-2.img
Or you can get the file already named correctly out of this zip: http://goo.gl/nZJ7U
But you'll have to dig for it to find it.
then rename it to exactly "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img" and put it in the folder. It should work then.

shortskoolbus it makes no diff. Now if you were missing the file then it would give you this error message "No legacy recoveries found, Are you connected to the internet?" and if you do have the file then it gives you this error message "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I was trying to install new OC kernel and came across this as I originally thought it maybe linked to ClockworkMod as some folks in thread reported installing kernel without wipe cache/davlik. So I try to update it to 3.0.0.5 and it was successful but without result so I had to manually install 3.0.0.0 via console.
As I posted it originally on Q&A section when it happened none had issue and now everyone is having issue, POS I can't even access Dev thread as its says I need 10 posts when I have more I can't post it.

Actually I am not sure what you are talking about OptLynx. What shortsloolbus said is 100% correct. If you are missing the image or it is in the wrong place it does not give you the "no legacy recoveries found" error. It will just say "error flashing recovery". And the reason it worked when people switched to a old Ice glacier rom is because IG isnt running the latest Rom Manager that has now changed the location of where it keeps the recovery images.
See my thread here for the new zip that places everything in the correct place. http://goo.gl/O5SlI

Rom Manager

Ok guys so here is a little something i have been working on for yall. some of you may know rom manager and all its abilities (download roms and flash them without needing a computer, aka "OTA custom roms") well its done. only one team has the roms up and listed right now. now here is for the issues;
-rom manager does not recognize anything but 2.5.1.0 which is the first version of cwm we had going. afaik there are no plans to let it see cwm3 on teh epic
-any roms put on the list will be under premium, sorry ive tried talking to koush but this means you would need to have rom manager premium
now i am hoping we can get more rom devs up on the list and push for cwm3 to be recognized so that users of a certain rom can get notifications of updates and download them via wifi/4g/3g whenever they want. obviously i dont expect people to pay for the premium rom manager when they cant get the free one working.
if any rom devs wish to have their roms added to the list i will not do it for you but after a couple of hours of screwing with the lists (they are javascript.... >.<) i can offer some help on what may not be working. i am in the irc channels almost all the time, if you cant reach me there then shoot me a pm..
P.S. you may be wondering why i posted this in general eh? because this is partially for devs, but its for the users of the epic.. if this is a feature you want then yall need to speak up cuz as it stands now its pretty useless, im hoping by putting this out there that there will be enough of a cry for it that the situation gets handled and then everyone can use koush's awesome program

I'm currently running cwm3; but when I open ROM Manager it tell me im running 2.5.1.0...
With that said.. I wonder if it'll work? ;p

wait you get rom manager to work with cwm3???

No no no. I'm a moron disregard what I said haha.
All thats happened is ROM Manager thinks I'm running 2.5.1.0 when I'm not.
But; shouldn't this just be a redirector issue?

right but even with it thinking you have 2.5.1.0, what version of cwm do you have? does it pop up and ask you to install cwm version x.x.x.x???

I'm running cwm 3 running ext4.
Rom manager works on the phone; but anytime it needs to go into cwm it fails.
It'll hang at the sammy logo. Pulling the battery and powering the phone up normally does the same.
However..doing the three button recovery boot it attempts to load cwm and fails then gives me the Triangle with an Exclamation point inside it..along with the green android.

so how do you get into recovery? also is it 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6?

3.0.0.6
I'm unable to get into recovery through the manager it self. Once I do the three finger salute..it attempts to load and fails; I pull battery and just hold the power button and it loads into cwm.

ok so sounds like 3.0.0.6 is sorta working but we just need to be able to get into recovery normally now....
3.0.0.5 is confirmed to not be working at all

I would love this... had premium on my hero, but sadly I cannot use it on my epic.

Seems to me like it's just a redirector issue; but I've yet to dig into this too deeply so I could be wrong.
It seems to work fine..it just has issues loading directly into cwm.

Hey peeps hopefully someone here can help with almost similar problem.
I used one click root with cwm recovery 2.5.5 in both 2.1 DI18 and EB13. The recovery installed just fine on both.
When I download Rom manager from clockworkmod it doesnt detect that the recovery is installed. I cant do anything without installing the recovery according to ROM manager.
BUT it is installed! Why doesnt it detect it??
How can I get the rom manager to see that I do have clockworkmod recovery 2.5.5 installed?
Or is it not possible yet? I too am a suckered premium owner.

I don't think that ROM Manager can detect recoveries on the phones partitions. I believe it downloads and installs recovery to the sd card.

I some how managed to get an older recovery installed 2.5.1 But still get "an error occured while downloading your recovery." when I click any option and select samsung epic from the prompted list. In an attempt to install the recovery.
If it doesn't install to the fixed partitions how does it install the recovery to boot from? I thought thats where it had to be? That would mean the current recovery I have is in the SD card? then a simple edit of a file would allow it to be detected?

I believe ROM Manager uses the stock recovery to redirect to a zip file on the sd. If the redirector isn't set up right it won't work. The One-Clicks we use to install CWM install it to fixed partition.

I do see that the ACS team is on board with this, hope to see more support soon. On my buddies Fastinate there is quite a bit to work with in Rom Manager, it is a very cool option.
Thanks to all the Dev's

Clockwork Recovery and Battery Mod

Hi All, maybe someone can help me out with this. I just perm-rooted yesterday and have s=off, but I'm still just running the stock rom, haven't flashed anything other than faux's smartass kernel, I am using Launcher Pro Plus instead of MySense though, if that matters at all.
The only other thing I really want to do at the moment is flash one of pack's cool battery icon mods, and it fails at installation through Clockwork recovery. I was told I need to us Clockwork 2.5.1.x to flash it, and here's my problem: In Rom Manager, under "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" when I try to flash to a 2.5.1.x recovery, it says "An error occurred while flashing your recovery". It allows me to flash both 3.x recoveries smoothly, but neither of the 2.x ones work, and I've been searching and reading and can't seem to find any answers. Does anyone know what I need to do? I want that darn battery mod lol.

You likely have a bad download-verify the file size of the download on the website and compare it to the size of the file you actually downloaded

Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried 2 different versions of the battery mod and the file sizes seem to match what's on the site. Neither one works though
UPDATE: I got it sorted out with some guidance from a helpful poster. Thanks Ronin for offering assistance.

Sure, no problem. The problem was Rom Manager, it wouldn't let me flash 2.1.5.x, which is needed to install the battery mod. What I had to do was download 2.1.5.2 version of clockwork, move to clockwork "recoveries" folder on sd card, rename "2.1.5.4." so that Rom Manager could find it, then I was able to flash the 2.x version of clockwork, after which the battery mod worked fine. The problem was that before I did this, there was no 2.1.5.x recovery to flash.

Why depend on ROM Manager? You could have used terminal to flash it, then you wouldn't have had to rename the file and could have had it wherever you wanted.

I know this is flame-worthy, but I was doing it through Rom Manager because it seemed easier and less prone to user error. I'm a competent guy, and I'm good at following directions and reading, but I'm not a tech whiz, so I guess I used Rom Manager because it's got a nice user friendly interface and streamlines the process.

No flaming man, just a suggestion since so many people seem to have problems with corrupt recoveries and recoveries not "sticking" when flashing with ROM Manager. In your case it would have made life a lot easier as well.

Lol, yeah, I hear you. But once I realized what the problem/obstacle was, fixing it was actually really easy. It was just the issue of why it wasn't flashing. But I get your point - I could've not had to worry about Rom Manager at all.
Thanks, going forward I'll try alternative approaches to figure out what is easiest and what works best.

Sure, no problem. The problem was Rom Manager, it wouldn't let me flash 2.1.5.x, which is needed to install the battery mod. What I had to do was download 2.1.5.2 version of clockwork, move to clockwork "recoveries" folder on sd card, rename "2.1.5.4." so that Rom Manager could find it, then I was able to flash the 2.x version of clockwork, after which the battery mod worked fine. The problem was that before I did this, there was no 2.1.5.x recovery to flash.

Lol, I guess you should use the search function, but it would be hypocritical of me to not provide it for you as I came upon it through the help of another poster. I don't see the harm in saving someone the time from having to dig through a pile of threads to find something.
