Root ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7 (file system/recovery utility) update 01/12/12 FIXED

WHaaaaa?!

This is an epic breakthrough for the prevail community.

GREAT JOB!!!

We really owe many many thanks to you hroark13 and Shabbypenguin

Really thank you guys soooooooo much. One thing I hated about creating my theme is the factory resets afterward to keep everything running smoothly but, this CWR is going to make my theming much less of a hassle.

So thank you again

hey now, ill be upfront and honest.. i had no idea that hroark was even working on this til last night, then i log on this morning to find he fixed the small issues he had and its running great :)

i dont mind taking credit, but only on work that ive done ;)

interdpth3 deserves alot of thanks, without his root, i would not have been able to Odin or CWM

I probally would not have bought the phone in the first place without it being rooted

Yes I'm glad you brought that up about Interdpth3. I didn't mean to leave anyone out. I also think his work is the foundation of all the developments ( and future developments ) made up to this point. I've shown my appreciation to him at the top of my theme page as well. I haven't forgotten about him at all. I was just giving thanks based on the thread topic.

You for the CWR and Shabbypenguin for the kernal.

But yes Interdpth3 has made all of this possible

the rom manager app will work in the sense that you can now use it to launch into recovery mode and do things like backup rom but as for downloading roms, no it needs to have roms added to the list for that.

ive added roms to the list before and its quite a hassle, so now all my stuff goes on ACS' very own updater app, works a lot like rom manager in the sense that you can download roms directly to your phone as well as themes. i need to post the links on here so that themers etc can upload stuff to it and have users download the themes ota. if you want the acs updater app its in the market and when i make shabbymod 1.0 it will be on there for everyone to download and flash :)

This Worked Like a Charm Thank you sir http://www.androidforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
I created a ClockWorkMod Recovery V4.0.1.4 for Samsung Prevail SPHM820

Recovery uses Shabby Kernel, Thank you Shabbypenguin for all the work you do
Thanks also go to the makers of ClockWorkMod
and a very big thanks to Interdpth for rooting the Prevail

Using Odin or ClockWorkMod can be dangerous to your phone, make sure you know what your doing, make sure you have a charged battery or plugged into power.

INSTALL
1. Download and unzip the CWM4014PREVAIL.zip file.
2. Install the Samsung USB drivers (if you dont already have them)
3. Put phone in Download Mode by holding Vol down, Camera Button, and Power button until the Yellow Downloading message appears
4. Plug phone into USB port
5. Open Odin, you should see a yellow box with a com number
6. Select SPHM820.ops in the OPS box
7. Put a check in One Package
8. Select the CWM4014PREVAIL.tar file in the One Package box
9. Click Start

When Odin says reset and the phone reboots the process is done, you do not have to wait for Odin to say pass, that does not work

For the most part this is working GREAT!

but when I accidentally hit the "fixing premissions" option it just hung
pulled battery
When it rebooted my home screen was defaulted.

Nothing major
I did this, not accidently just I almost pulled the battery but I waited and it finished.

I believe hroark said it works but takes a really long time.
It does :p

Very Nice work hroark13... it is nice to see a comunity working on this phone.. One question though..

mount/unmount /sd-ext (does not work)

would this be what is needed to move whole apps to the sd card( including data?)
If you do not have a sd-ext partition it can not work, Now that this is available, I think the option to format your sd card is there I didnt look too close yet, You will be able to format the card with ext partition.
But you still will not be able to move whole apps to sd until a kernel is compiled with that support in.
Now that this is out though I suspect compiling the kernel will go much quicker.

Ok thanks

My sd card is actually already partitioned from me dorking around earlier before i read about Kernels

alas this wont effect teh kernel situation, as this was a repack as well. compiling teh zimage is where things go fine, up you flash it and try to boot it. need to look at the logcat and dmsg of the kernel for stuff like that, which i foolishly forgot to do when i was pumping out those test kernels :(

however i believe one of my test kernels allows for init.d support, which is more then enough for someone willing to test out darktremors apps2sd :)

hmm, which kernel, i have both of your test kernels, the first one that didnt work, and the second. I read up on darktremors app2sd but did not give it a try as we didnt have any way to run the flash.

CWM does not want to stick? I am stock rooted and every time I try to go in cwm the first time works then it goes right back to stock recovery?


I just tested this on Stock EE14 too, and I am getting the same thing

When I made this I was on Shabbymod, and its was working fine

I will update the OP about this and see if I can come up with a fix

edit
problem does not exist on stock ED13

I created a zip that needs to be flashed in CWM right after you Odin
I updated the OP with this information

thanks you for pointing out this issues for me

Thank you Shabby for telling me how to fix it
