ClockworkMod 3

After you convert to ext4 can you still run the stock epic or do you have to switch over to a rom that supports it? I was just wondering....

 

[ragnarokx]

Custom ROM required. See posts 235-239.

I followed "Procedure 2" and yes, my phone was on EC05, but I never got clockwork 3. I got the green text that had CW2.5 please help me.

It didn't work - try it again.

Wow, I just realized I kept running the "run.bat" file from the rar "one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5"! Instead I was supposed to run the "run.bat" from "OneClickRootCWM3-EB13"

Sorry for the inconvient user error. It pays to pay closer attention. Again, sorry for being annoying. Anywho, yay I got my phone converted to EXT4. Thanks!

If you have installed the drivers and have your phone in debugging mode when attempting to connect and run OCR then it is very possible the stock cable could be giving you problems.

i was thinking that, time to go to the store

The cable that I use is from old Blackberry. This cable is way better than crapy cable from Sammy. .

I hope you root your phone. You will have a lot of fun afterward. If you can buy a blackberry cable they are the best. Stay away from the HTC cables. They are not good!!!

I totally agree on the Blackberry USB Cable = they just work better

I did the EXT4 from ECO5 OTA, got cwm3, and got syndicaterom standard put on (took 2 tries), but as soon as I unlock, launcherpro, gmail and desktop clock FC in infinite loop. How do I get out of this loop and then what do I do to address it. As it stands, the phone is nearly unusable. I'm going to keep reading.

EDIT: Apparently when i did the 3x wiping etc,etc, launcherpro must have still been stuck in there from the stock install. I re-did the 3x wiping, and all is well now.

I did lose all my info, and recently did a mybackuppro backup of data and apps, and last night while rooting i did a titanium backup. Which method should I use to recover at least the apps and contacts?
