Hey guys, I have a few questions that I either couldn't figure out after researching for hours (seriously) or I just need some clarification on. I apologize if these questions have already been adressed. Also, I'm new to android so try to keep it simple for me.
1. What is a kernel? Can I flash multiple kernels to the same rom? Can I flash a kernel via clockwork recovery?
2. Ive been having problems with clockwork recovery. I got it installed (meaning I can get to the clockwork recovery menu after flashing the .tar file via odin and applying the update.zip) but if I select any of the items from the clockwork recovery menu the screen immediately goes blank and I have to perform a battery pull to boot the phone up again.
3. Clockwork recovery doesnt stick. When I apply the update.zip (which contains clockwork recovery mod) from the regular recovery menu I get a "e:verification whole-file error" message thingy unless I flash the .tar file via odin every single time before hand in which case I do get to the clockwork recovery menu, but the problem from the question above occurs.
4. How to flash the latest clockwork recovery + any needed kernel + any bug fixes + latest version of needed files? Plz post a link to a place where I can download the appropriate files. I ask this even though its been asked before because im wondering if the files I used are outdated and thats why I had the problems mentioned above.
5. Is there anyway I can restore my phone back to the way i first bought it (meaning no root, no update, etc.)
Thanks in advance!

The only one I can answer out of those is #5 (I suck at the coding part lol, I'll let someone more knowledgable answer those)
Go to settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset.
Pretty sure that's what you're looking for
You're having weird problems. My clockwork doesn't stock either but I don't think anybody's does with the continuum. I have a clean DL17 ROM, the peanutbutta jelly time kernel and I haven't had any problems

Ill try again later on today and ill see what happens. Maybe it was just a one time glitch. Are you supposed to select the items from the clockwork recovery menu using the camera button or the menu button?
On a separate note, about the clockwork recovery sticking, i heard about a kernel that made it stick. True or false? And if I install a kernel on my phone now, and then flash the DL17 rom, do the effects of the kernel now apply to the DL17 rom as well? does the clockwork recovery mod that i flashed before also apply to the DL17 rom as well, or do i have to reinstall clockwork recovery? what bugs does the DL17 rom have? where are the fixes?

Can someone please post a link of this thread in the continuum android development section or point this thread to a dev because I don't have permission and I really badly want these questions answered! Thanks!
I'll try and answer some of your questions as soon as I get to a computer.

EDIT:
1. I'm not a dev, but here is what I understand about kernels. A kernel is part of android that contains the "drivers". You can use different kernels with the same ROM, but if you're asking if you can use 2 kernels at the same time with 1 ROM, then no, you can't. Kernels are usually flashed with clockwork, but we continuum users also use ODIN because of the difficulties with CWM not wanting to work on some phones.
2. Are uoi using the menu button to select in CWM? If you are, try clicking the lock button instead.
3. I can't help you there, sorry. :-/ My CWM always worked...
4.I'll see if I can't find a guide or 2. I'll make another video tut if needed.
5. There is a stock ODIN file that I helped make floating around here somewhere. The only thing is, the ODIN is rooted because it was needed to create the files.
I'll answer more questions later
Ok thanks a lot that helped clarify a few things. A video tutorial or a written tutorial would be great and if u could answer my other questions that would be fantastic! Thanks

AGH!!!! SO MANY QUESTIONS IN 1 POST >.<
ok.... Let's try and answer these *sigh*
1. If you are using the original CWM then, select is using the lock button. If you are using the new CWM the imnuts put out a few days ago, then selecting is the camera button. The latest CWM available, is the first link in the next quote.
2. ugh... I can't really comment on that, I've never had problems with CWM...
3. Yes, they do apply to the DL17 ROM.
4.CWM sticks as long as you flashed all the files correctly.
5. Which DL17 ROM? Adr's SC, or the debloated?
6. again, which one?

1. This is from what I know, just CWM. There isn't a "kernel" so to speak.
2.This is an epic kernal that I recommended trying
3. I would also recommend trying out this kernal. I'm not entirely sure what the differences between 2, and 3 are though...

1. From wikipedia:
"In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of an operating system, a kernel can provide the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially processors and I/O devices) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.
Operating system tasks are done differently by different kernels, depending on their design and implementation. While monolithic kernels execute all the operating system code in the same address space to increase the performance of the system, microkernels run most of the operating system services in user space as servers, aiming to improve maintainability and modularity of the operating system. A range of possibilities exists between these two extremes."
You can only run one kernel at a time.
2. dfggd's instruction vid might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USHpl0s7qhk
3. CWM does not stick (yet)
4. You'll have to do your own research on this one. Personal taste comes in to play and it is ever-changing.
5. I know there's a DJ20 dump around here somewhere....
hahahaha im sorry but i have a lot of questions lol. thanks for the help. if u can answer the other questions thatd be great, thanks. and in response to your answers:
TO DFGGED:
1. i need plain english here. whats the difference between the two clockworks? does it really matter which one i flash? if not, then i plan on using the original clockwork recovery mod so that i can flash a different kernel.
2. maybe its becuz i used the menu button to select an item so it freaked out. ill try it again as soon as i can find somebodys windows computer i can borrow to flash odin
3. and if i flash a kernel its permanent? i cant remove the kernel or flash a different kernel and overwrite it or something?
4. i definitely flashed all the files correctly and it didnt stick for me. maybe we just have different definitions of sticking. i have to flash odin every single time prior to going in to clockwork recovery. do u not have to do the same? i heard that flashing a custom kernel made it stick though so maybe thats it...
5. wait...i thought Adr's DL17 rom was the only one out for the samsung continuum. and that is the debloated/debinged/etc. isn't it?
6. if there are different roms and im just clueless, then can u post the link for both of the actual rom and fixes?
TO DFGGED(PART 2):
1. but doesnt it say flash the recovery kernel via odin? is that not a kernel?
2. what does this kernel do?
3. again, what does this kernel do?
TO WEUDEL:
1. kind of understood that lol but at least i get the basic idea
2. yup that helps to clarify a bit, thanks
3. i heard that custom kernels DOES make it stick. true or false?
4. look at my questions to dfgged above (in this post) and see if u can explain the differences to me in the kernels and original clockwork recover vs. imnuts clockwork recovery (and if imnuts clockwork recovery's recovery kernel is actually a kernel) and if there are indeed two different roms and the difference between them. and a link to a place where i can download the latest files for the fixes and actual rom. i would really appreciate it!
5. yup found it. thanks

Well, since you are now over the 10 post threshold, I would suggest that you ask the specifics of these kernels within the kernel threads. That or try them all out and go with the one you like. This is a small community and the more testing everyone can do the better off we will all be.
I would but I dont have a windows computer so testing is pretty much impossible for me so...yeah anything anybody knows about the questions I just asked would be extremely helpful. Thanks again

Sorry for the noob question here, but I have rooted my Samsung Epic 4G and I am positive I am going to install the Froyo rom. However, there's a few things I am not sure on.
1. I downloaded rom manager, but after that, what do i do? Do I install that rom onto the phone and flash the clockwork recovery? Also, do I have to download the clockwork app off of the market first?
2. I know flashing roms requires a wipe, so is there any easy way to back up all my applications and data? I have heard of titanium backup, but I am not sure how to use it.
3. Does owning a mac affect any of these steps when it comes to downloading stuff?
If anyone can explain/post a video about these questions, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
Edit: during the clockwork recovery app, what are the controls?
I am still quite a noob myself but I can give you a little guidance. Find a root that includes the clockworkmod (I personally used noobnls all in on root method, it was simple and self explainitory, you can even unroot first and then reroot with it), once you have the root with CWM you can then use ROM manager to flash a ROM. Download the .zip of the rom, make sure it is an epic 4g compatible ROM. Put the .zip on your sd card, then use ROM manager. I don't use it though, I just shut the phone off and boot into recovery, the text will be green if CWM is running. Do a backup, wipe to factory, wipe cache, then install .zip from sd. Locate .zip file and flash it. Reboot and you're done. If you are going to flash a froyo rom make sure you read the first post of the thread, it will usually have instructions of what else you need to flash, how to download it and where to find it. Hope this helps, please remeber that I am still a noob and might not be perfectly accurate. Good luck

Also, I forgot, the appbrain app allows you to sync all your apps so after you wipe and flash a new ROM you can dl appbrain (free from market), and then reinstall all your apps, bad thing is I have not figured out how to do it all at once, and had to install each app individually.

Okay I think I get it, but what's the difference between flashing from the rom manager and boring up the clockworkmod?
Also, can I install the rom directly to my sd card?

Yes, you can dl the rom directly onto your sd card, I boot into cwm so that I can do everything manually and make sure it gets done (its just my preference you don't have to do this). Rom manager makes it easier, you can just select flash rom frm sd card, find the .zip file, it give you the option to backup and wipe and then boots into cwm to finish. Most roms, kernels and themes that I have looked at say wipe 3 times before flashing, that is the other reason I don't use rom manager, because it only gives you the option to wipe once.

Okay so the froyo rom doesn't require a wipe which is nice. Last question, do I need to have the usb plugged into my device as well as a computer? Thanks so much!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
For a froyo rom I am not sure, everything that I read said youj need to use odin to flash the dk17 modem and pit, I haven't done that, but you will need a computer and usb to do that. I'm not sure about the rest, a look at the first post of the various froyo roms should tell you how to do that, I think the viper rom had some good details if I remember. Take a look there in the developers forum and see what you find, let me know how it all turns out

I am looking for some help as I messed up my phone, thought I fixed it but now am running into some problems along the way.
I do not know how to boot into CWM, I have read hold up on volume while booting, but this doesn't work for me.
This is my problem and the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804457
But I am stuck on step 3.
What is the easiest way for someone to walk me through this? I read just to use the automatic voodoo uninstaller, but I can not do that if I can not boot into CWM.
Thanks guys
Hold up and down volume buttons while powering on. This should boot you into recovery. Depending on which version of recovery you have, i.e if you boot into stock recovery, you may have to apply update.zip. Once in recovery, install zip from sd card and find the voodoo uninstaller and flash it. This should solve your problems
Oh yeah, and this, of course, assumes you flashed CWM in the first place. If not, that should be your next step.

Holding up and down simultaneous while powering on did not do anything for me. The Phone just booted normally...
Is it possible I do not have CWM installed? I did it in ODIN two times, as suggested.
Make sure you release when you see Samsung. If that doesn't work, then you probably need to try to flash cwm again. If none of this works, try to odin to stock and start over. Btw: make sure you follow the guide to flash CWM step for step.

Hello all, I just updated the baseband on my streak due to data issues. It fixed the problem for me. The problem is my mother bought a streak shortly after I did and I've kept it updated right along with mine. She has the basband that I was on, 345 or 347, can't remember now. Recently she broke the pdmi port and had to buy the battery charging dock setup. Is there anyway I can push the basband via terminal emulator or any other way? Is she just stuck with 347? She has streakmod recovery so I can't upgrade to 354 to change it. If there is a 354 zip around would it update the bb like the pkg file does? Thanks in advance guys.

Sorry. I have no sources for info. This was all done with my very basic knowledge of how things work. I wanted to make sure someone was interested, before I went to the trouble to explain how I did it. I guess, in the nature of android, I should have been willing to all ready. lol.
First i download rom manager from the market. I was hoping to be able to do it through the option in rom manager "flash alternate recovery", however i could not figure out how to get this to work. So here is what I did.
1. I opened rom manager and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and selected Dell Streak, and let it flash the recovery.
2. I then when in to andexplorer, any file explorer will work, and searched for where exactly it saves the recovery. Which was /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries
3. This is where it saved the recovery unfortunately I've deleted it but I'll use streakrecovery-example.img as an example.
4. I renamed the recovery streakrecovery-example.img to streakrecovery-example.img.bak
5. I then placed the stock recovery into the same folder and renamed it streakrecovery-example.img (make sure its identical to the .bak recovery, only without .bak)
6. I rebooted the phone to make sure rom manager would notice the changes, but you may not need to.
7. I opened rom manager and selected "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", and let it do its thing.
8. Upon success I then powered down and manually rebooted into recovery and selected option 2. Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card, and to my surprise was greeted with the stock recovery options. (Power to preform emergency recovery, or Volume up to Power off device)
9. I pressed power and ran the update. The device is now on stock 354. =)
Edit: This was only useful to me because of the broke pdmi port on my moms streak. If you guys think this would be useful for everyone I will start a new "How to Thread" with this same post as soon as i get time. What would be the appropriate section for How to's, General?
Ive been wondering why I should upgade to newer bb's........im still on 305,2.2,rooted. Ide upgrade to a newer one if there was an improvment.......mine is running fine the way it is......what exactly would newer bb make my phone better......thanks

Okay guys, So lets say you flashed a custom rom on your epic. The rom was crap and you didnt like it. So you boot into CWM or w.e your Custom Recovery is and you restore your backup. After the backup is restore you end up with the Samsung Boot Logo STUCK.! This can be caused by incompatibility within the roms. Nandroid restore dosent always work when reverting back to stock from a custom rom, Unless your nandroid back up is from another custom rom. So this is a tip or flashing you phone back to Stock EB13. Its even better if you have a stock nandroid backup because restoring the backup whilst having this stock rom installed will work.! Go to this site http://www.samsdroid.com/2011/11/samsung-sph-d700-epic-4g-stock-rom.html and download the stock rom of your choice. Place the rom on your SD card. NOTE: Use sdcard in another phone since yours is bricked, or if you have a Micro Sd Reader use that. Boot up into Recovery and flash the rom. Congrats you are now back to stock and can do a Nandroid Restore. No ODIN, NO HARD WORK.! Happy Flashing

Did you check the links before you posted this? They're all dead.
And they're all links to leaked firmware, not stable ones officially released by Samsung(With the exception of EB13).
The links aren't dead when I check them. If the links didn't help you out. Then google "Sph d700 SW upgrade tool" Its a utility that automatically flashes phone back to stock EB13. Just put the phone into download mode, by holding. "1" button on keyboard and hold power and plug in the pc. Follow the on screen instructions. If you can't find it PM me and ill upload it to 4shared for you to download.

I am by no means an expert but... If you are coming from an MTD ROM, you have to use the victory.pit file to repartition the NAND back to BML. To my knowledge, there is no way to do this from CWM (is the recovery partition rewritten when repartitioning?). If that executable linked at the end of the post can reproduce the partitioning that Odin does, then yes, but you still must have the windows drivers, a good USB cable and be plugged into a good USB port. At that point, why not use Odin.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You are indeed correct. The SW upgrade is the linked .exe for inexperienced user. Not everyone knows how to use Odin. Yes it may be simple to us but a pain to others. Im pretty sure if people are flashing roms, the samsung drivers should already be installed on there computer. The sw upgrade comes with the DOWNLOAD MODE Driver, So that when you plug the phone into the computer whilst in download the drivers are automatically installed. Within a couple of clicks you are back to stock EB13. From there you can re-root using the one click and do Nandroid Restore.
There is already a guide for this

There are but there all explained in different ways. This is the easy way to explain the method above. Just download and follow the instructions. Alot of people are using odin.

I agree with this but 90% of people here are on MTD and will brick by doing this. Also, when recovery works you can just flash another ROM. Still a good guide.

Thanks, And i actually flash other ROMs if i end up with a brick. But the first time i flashed CM9 i missed a step and bricked, and it wouldnt let me flash another rom without the samsung screen hanging. So i used this utility to get back to stock, root, and restore backup. Great tool for people who still enjoy great ol' BML. Thanks for the compliment. By the way love your theming dude.

I recently rooted my S3 i747 and then installed cyanogenmod 10. Keep in mind I am not a wiz at doing these things, however it did work. Here in lies my problems. 1. I hate this OS with a passion. Its just not what i thought it would be so I would love nothing more than to figure out how to remove it and return to stock firmware or another custom rom. 2. If i stay with this rom (for not being able to figure out how to remove it and install another) I am running out of storage internally. Its a great possibility I could have done something wrong. so with that being said, can anyone help me? I have tried more websites than I care to. thanks so much!

Well what I did was follow along a youtube video... Which in turn may not have been the best idea. I remember doing some sort of back up on clockwork or something like that. I tried to go to recovery mode and restore but that didnt help. Im not sure what all I did to be honest. :/

edit... Pull the battery on your phone and put it back in. Hold up vol, home button and Power till you see the little words in the top left corner. It should say booting recovery really small. at that point take your finger off of the power button only and it will boot into Recovery.
If you have CWM recovery or TWRP you are golden...
Or else... see below
Find your phone in it's section you should be able to find a method using Odin to flash it back to stock and then you can read up and find the way to do everything you want.
Just do your research and look through the forum for your phone type/carrier and you should be able to find all of the information that you are looking for.
Search and you shall succeed!

why do you guys make things so complicated? the guy wants his phone back to stock.
The only thing you have to do is to go to www.sammobile.com/firmwares. Then put your phone number i9100 in the search box and choose any of the roms below. They are all stock, 2.3/4.x.x etc. The rom is in a zip file, however, you have to extract the tar file inside it.
Power off your phone then, while holding vol down, press and hold power.
Open odin in your pc then connect the phone to pc while being in download mode. press the pda button in odin and insert the .tar rom whoch you have just extracted. press start and you are done.

Sorry, I didn't look at the date, but that would have been a good fix.

Well returning to stock is just as easy as finding a stock ROM in his phones thread and flashing it, it'll be better in the long run that way as well because maybe he'll learn something.
