Nothing new .. still stock KD1 ROM. All I did was fixed Krylon's CWM KD1. Yes .. this one will flash without any issue.
Same credit as the previous thread goes to whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev.
And special thanks to badb4lyfe for testing it.
Instruction:
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot to cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Then proceed with zip installation
NOTE (6/7/2011)
I've fixed both ROM and edify script, I've tested it several times and flashed without any issue. For dev, list of things I did to fix this:
1. amend2edify tools is nice, but still not 100% accurate. I had to change and add few things to make it work, especially the permission. The boot loop that happened to several of you was because of permission to some of the directories wasn't set correctly.
2. Install app from both market and adb should be fixed. For some reason, both cwm that krylon built and odin version chmod /data/app directory as 755 and owned by root. This needs to be 771 and both uid/gid needs to be system. For dev, if you add apk to /data/app on your ROM, make sure the file permission is correct .. other wise it will break app installation process.
3. OS FC due when enabling wifi was fixed as well.
Special thanks to robbbit for testing this fix and dsexton702 for finding out the final piece. Follow dsexton702 post for how to

NEW UPDATE (6/9/2011):
As promised, I've updated the zip with kernel and modem this time. Also included few updates and fixes:
- Kernel and Modem now included (sorry about that).
- Cleaned up edify script a little.
- Added permission check scripts to check files and directory permissions after installation.
- Replaced modded recovery with a proper modded recovery which was for sgs4g.

Well .. if you want to keep using ODIN ..then be my guest. I created this to help other start their own custom ROM. As for GB .. continue waiting because it will be awhile before SGS4G get GB.

Don't deodex and dump the rom again ... this ROM is already Deodexed and added permission script to prevent it from boot loop. Auto deodexer doesn't use permission script and for some reason sgs4g doesn't like that.
Were you able to flash this ROM, unchanged .. and boot from it?
Make sure you wipe before flashing (wipe factory reset and wipe cache partition from cwm)
i was wondering if anyone else had this problem..
rom flashed and boots fine. but when i go to install ANY APP, it proceeds to
download said app,
attempts to install
while installing the phone starts to vibrate (one vibrate, then 3)
then a black screen where the buttons on the bottom lights up
then it kicks me back to lockscreen.
no app installed no nothing. i was wondering if it was just me, or is this happening to anyone else?

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

Omg KD1 awesomeee u hope they fix the SMS issues and some of the other issued the sgs4g had.

Inside the zip there is a .tar.nd5 file would I be able to flash it with Odin like the other .tar that we have around?

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

Disable Voodoo before flashing this!
This is a new leak for the Galaxy S 4G. Krylon has removed the bootloaders for safety. Flash at your own risk and REMEMBER this is a LEAK so dont expect a PERFECT ROM!
Use ODIN or Heimdal to flash

so did you get any luck with that rom?
how come when unzipping it the file name is kf1?
outgoing call log works thank god and wifi bars are strong a little diffrent than the first release
This is great news. Means that they are actively working on 2.3 and that the KF1 leak wasn't just an isolated thing.
Will flashing this (without the .pit) cause a data wipe? Anyway to load this up without losing data?
This isn't rooted and there's no super simple way to root it, right?

Ok. So which one of you is correct?
And what good is a backup without root ability to restore the backup?
Last time I asked about the wipe, a couple of people confidently said that using ODIN ALWAYS wipes data. I am pretty sure that I upgraded to the current stock ROM using ODIN without a wipe, plus have updated my Vibrant a few times via ODIN without a wipe.
So what's really correct here?

I recently just flashed my phone about 10 minutes ago to Krylons STOCK + Root VUVKB5 Rom, and it everything went through. The files got installed and i rebooted my system. then when it restarted it stalls at the big "S" sign, then it just goes to a black screen. does it mean I've bricked it or no? Can anyone help me out here.
If you can get into download mode after pulling the battery, you should be fine.
Just ODIN back to KD1 deodexed and you should be set
You soft bricked. Odin kc1 deodexed from the bible thread. I hear kd1 has a faulty partition or something. that is weird that kb5 didn't work. Did you check your mounts and wipe everything properly?

busybox = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox
bloat = the programs that originally come with the phone...but you dont need and take up space
root= gives you access to the entire phone. lets you flash roms and basically do whatever you want with it.
if you dont know what you are doing, you should read up on everything prior to doing anything on the phone. research is key here because you can hard brick your phone and it will be useless. (worst case)
Hey guys, I'm finally gonna flash GB, i know this ain't big news to any of you, but it is to me haha. So, i'm going to list the steps i'm going to take to flash it, these are according to the guides i've watched and read, but weren't specific enough to me. PREPARE TO READ.
By the way, my files are: KG4 leak by chadster, KG4 kernel with root&voodoo by Dr.Honk, and Valhalla ROM by Whitehawkx. PROPS TO THESE AWESOME DEVS!
1)Boot into recovery, and disable voodoo, reboot again to ensure re-conversion to rfs.
2)Boot into recovery again, this time go to: advanced>partition>create one with 2048(whatever that means? o_o)
3)Open up odin(I'm using 1.85), power off phone, Enter download mode, hold two volume keys, plug in USB.
4)Enter files according to file name.
PIT-Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA-CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5
Phone-T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5
CSC-SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5
(I've heard that re-partition checks itself on while entering the files, and that you should leave it on.)
5)DOUBLE CHECK, I don't wanna brick my phone!
6)HIT START! WOO, hope it'll work for me.
7)If the phone boots, you can let it boot up then Power Off it, or do a battery pull.
8)Hit reset on odin, then re-enter Download Mode, via instruction #3.
9)This time, click PDA, and find Dr.Honks KG4 kernel w/ root&voodoo that you downloaded.
10)HIT START! WOO!
11)This is confusing to me, as according to the guides and videos, YOU CAN battery pull when it boots or Power off after boot-up and enter Recovery by holding Volume keys and Power/Unlock simultaneously(which means at the same time) and release when it boots up. It should boot up into RED CWM, then i'll want to check mounts(OR SHOULD I WIPE EVERYTHING: DATA,CACHE,DAVLIK first?)and make sure that they're UMMU.
12)Go to the main screen of recovery, select zip from sd, select (INSERT ROM OF CHOICE HERE), I'm flashing valhalla, it's been a tough debate of audiophile FTW or that.
13)LET IT FLASH YO!
14)I should end up in recovery still, recheck mounts.
15)(NOT POSITIVE IF THIS'LL WORK, but I'm trying)Flash busyboxinstaller.zip from FB's starter guide thread.
16)After that's done, go to the voodoo section, enable it on next boot, then REBOOT.
17)PRAY THAT IT'LL CONVERT(DAMN WELL BETTER!)
18)If it booted up, and errrrthang's all good. I'll enjoy a cup of coffee and some GINGERBREAD.
Well, that wasn't too much was it? Please comment to recorrect my errors or to say I'm good to go, as this will be my way of flashing GB. I'll appreciate any feedback AS LONG AS I GET FEEDBACK.
P.S- I would love it if some devs would also help give me the green light.
Thanks awesome community!
you don't need to use the pit file but every thing else looks good to me
Looks good flash away

sweet, thanks!
Looks like you've done you're homework and you should be good.. Not sure but I think that newer roms don't need the mount unmounts, as was case for me and icbinb.. You should be good. Good luck
They should just sticky this so that everyone one else flashing from froyo can just follow these directions

I made the mistake of not backing it up and lost EVERYTHING lol
Question..... if per say u get a new phone and Odin the same GB release do u have to redo the whole partioning of the sd card again? even if u did it prior on ur other phone?
Yeah, I've been reading up on GB ever since the KG4 leak, just been afraid to actually flash it, due to no experience with ODIN. This wasn't really supposed to be a guide, just a reassurance for me. But I don't mind people using it as one, I tried to make it as specific as possible. I appreciate the feedback guys, it makes me feel secure. LOL
P.S- I still haven't flashed it yet, I noticed my micro usb it fitting very loosely on my 4G, and since one mistake in ODIN can doom your phone, I'm extremely cautious. BUT I WANT GB! GAAAHHHHHH.

This is because it's easier to start without voodoo i think. And after flashing the kg4 kernel, you'll have voodoo recovery back. If linda wont convert, i guess you just repartition again. it's almost the same as the method i will use, someday... LOL.
Lol...did you flash it/need help with anything?

I don't think i need help, but if you find something faulty in my "guide", give me a heads up. And nope, i haven't flashed it yet lol. My damn cable is really loose and im scared that its defective and some data won't be transferred and you know what that means! A paperweight lol. I have everything i need(i think) and im really anxious to flash it, but the damn possibility of bricking is killing me haha.

Seriously you are scares for no reason it is very hard to hard brick so far only way is flashing the wrong bootloaders, if you pulled the cable while flashing you would still be fine, so ease up and joing the super smooth sgs4g on GB with us

Hi I have flashed my phone with a few roms and now that I have flashed any new rom and even whipped out and reformatted my sd card etc. I get the screen unlock pattern all the time.... even though all I have to do is swipe anywhere and not input a pattern unlock its really annoying!
Can anyone direct me on how I should go about this?
I currently flashed :
[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]
But I want to clean it out completely and start all over without the worry of this unlock pattern!

Do a backup, perform a factory data reset, and you should be good to go. It's possible that clearing the cache & Davlik cache might work, but I'm not sure.

Weird. I had an issue like that after installing the initial Octane release. I think I might've flashed chadster's KG4 via ODIN afterward to clean it out as it flashes 4 different files (PIT, PDA, CSC, Phone).

Yeah, that's the one I personally always go back to that one to get a clean start. So far it's worked well for me.
As for what ROM, man, that's subjective I just read that Whitehawkx relased Valhalla Final. As for me I currently have Octane. I'd probably go to KG4, then stock KJ6, and maybe go to something custom from there. Others may have different ideas, though.

I hear ya! Check the Dev section; I think FB just posted a debloater of some kind.
Try backing up your sd card and wiping it. Or use a different sdcard.
Everything on the phone gets reflashed. I have tested all three one clicks and have not experienced what you are saying.

To be fair, the one clicks, nor do any other method we tried (odin flashing, cwm falshing), reset EVERYTHING. The thread regarding incorrect time zones required a "hard reset" to get everything right again. Not sure if this should apply to this thread, but worth mentioning.

It involves downloading "GPS Aids" from the market. In that tool is a place to do a hard reset. I can't remember the exact menu option, I think it's under "Tools" or something.

Its not my ROM... they are all kj6 stock with different kernels. Read the op.
I was saying that there are files stored on your sdcard that Android uses. If you can isolate those files, it might help you figure out the problem you are having.

I pretty much deleted everything on the sd card and started ur 1Click hoping the problem would go away.... no worries, im sure ill go back and figure out what may help.
Thanks!
Also, maybe I missed something.
Do you mean that you see the lockscreen when booting for the first time after oneclick? It looks like a crappy low res lockscreen? If so, just enter your old pin/password. It wont ask again... Until you setup protected lockscreen again.
If not, and what you are trying now doesnt work, then could you rephrase the problem?
