Hello community. I was flashing bionix frost after doing a full nandroid backup and after flashing I'm stuck at the galaxy s 4g screen. I'm not sure what the next step is but I really need it tomorrow for work. lol Thanks ahead of time.
btw I have odin and drivers installed already if it will help
Can you get back into recovery? Did you follow the instructions to the T?
If you have CWM installed you can do the 3 button and then recover to backup from there. Else you need to follow the odin flashing guide.
Sounds like you didn't check your mounts before flashing the Bionix Frost rom, that same thing happened to me. I had to Odin just because now that there is a soft brick it won't let you get into cwm. Follow the instructions found in how to install the rom and when you get to check your mounts part follow this instructions. then it will flash just fine.

After you flash with Odin you are going to have a "fresh start". DON'T flash CWM recovery using Rom Manager. Use Krylon360 CWM 3 Final and fix your mounts per the OP of the ROM/Mod you are going to flash and you will be ok..
dsexton720 figured out the mount issue for us.

Thank you guys and gals. I odined back, flashed ext4, flashed 1.4 uv kernel, checked mounts and flashed bionix, and viola! As terminator would say "I'm back"
I messed up mounts btw which was the cause.
A side note... Doing this has actually fixed my gps taking 10-15m to lock to a satallite issue. I get lock in like 5 seconds.

Im having a similar problem and after looking through about 100 posts for odin i still have not found anything useful for it. It fails with KD1, KC1, and KB5. Its always on the cache step. I dont understand what im doing wrong. Ive tried adapting to everything ive read so far but nothing has worked so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I bet it is your mounts in cwm the should me unmount, mount, mount, unmount. so i would odin then check mounts then install bionix from cwm. hope this helps
does anyone have the files for odin to reset a soft brick?
did the samething didnt set mounts as i was flashing black ice

Ok so im new and I flashed my SGS4G using these directions to a T!
i would start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1099374
i am assuming you downloaded the rom already from the CWM rom section in the bible. its up to you. im biased towards bionix frost, but black ice is just as amazing.
i would also dl the ext converter and bali 3.1 kernel as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1123039) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1080871). place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card....which means that if you connect your phone to the computer and open it using windows explorer, it is that first window, which lists all of the folders. dont put these files in folders or anything.
once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery shutting down fully and pressing the power+volume up+volume down. once there, i went to reinstall packages to get into cwm.
then when this loads, i wiped the system/factory reset and wiped the cache. then i went to mounts and storage and mounted my system. (the final mounting output should be: unmount, mount, mount, unmount). i then scrolled to "go back"
i choose install zip file from sd card. choose zip file, which should be the second option if my memory serves me right. scroll of ext converter and install that one. then when that is done, go back to install file from sd card, choose black ice or frost (i LOVE frost) and install that one. then when that is done, i flash my bali 3.1 uv kernel. when that is flashed, i click go back and choose reboot system. once that is done, you will see the galaxy s screen for like 5 min or so followed by the team whiskey logo. once you see this, it will take another minute or so to load up. once you see that the rom loads up...LET THE PHONE SIT FOR 10 minutes. i know it seems long, but just let it sit.
after 10 min or so, i would go into your about phone options and check and see that you have bali3.1 and that the rom is correct.
do these tweaks as well
fugu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1127069)
init.d (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=init.d)
you can flash a modem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117331) using the same process as flashing any other zip file.
remember, the first option in choosing a zip file is update.zip from krylons final cwm. do not flash this after the rom/ext/whatever. im not sure if this has been addressed (im still a noob), but everytime i did that, i bricked my phone. lol. so just to answer your question before you wonder...cause i always wondered whether i should flash that or not. lol.
But after all this I get stuck at the galaxy S screen for more than 5minutes although it will let me back into recovery mode. Its called the "CwM voodoo lagfix recovery v3.0.2.8x" and then gives me a list of options. WHAT SHOULD I DO???
I would ODIN back to KD1 and redo it, but really make sure you have the mounts correct (I know you checked this already, but check it again.) If it still does not work, then I would still go back to KD1 and then try it again by re-downloading all the zip files again. That's what I had to do.
Those were my directions! Was my fault. Ext4 needs a supported kernel. You have one now. Go back into cwm and retry everything starting from wiping the cache and system. sorry about that.
Check your mounts after the ext4 converter just to be safe.

Yeah haha well im just gld i was able to fix it without odin. thats sounds like a pain... Any Jager555 i noticed youre running Bali 3.1 UV voodoo I downloaded the bail v3.1 voodoo is that why it didnt work?

No, it didn't work cause you were coming off of stock. The ext4 converter needs a compatible kernel...which you didn't have. Now that you have that red cwm, you are running a compatible kernel. So everything should work now. Reflash everything like I started before after you wipe everything. It should work ok. Like I said it was my fault for not mentioning that, not something you did.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
If you are no longer on the bali kernel, flash bionix, so you have bali 2.1, and then flash everything according to my directions. Ext4 will only work if you have the compatible kernel.

Ok so I went into recovery mode and it brought me to the red voodoo screen now should i go into mounts and storage and change that stuff again or what should i do first???

wipe the data and cache. check mounts. flash ext4. check mounts. flash bionix. flash 3.1. go back. reboot system from cwm. wait. let me know how it goes. i'll be online.
Ok i just followed your directions again. But should i flash Bali 3.1 again if i removed it?

once you flash bionx, it replaces the kernel with 2.1, so yes. reflash 3.1
crossing my fingers...hoping it works...
any updates??
my phone is now flashed with bionix frost! thanks a million jager555 team whiskey drhonk and anyone else involved!

I get a viibration of FC's but its on the bootloop of the android dude popping out... i checked my mounts its UMMU... and i wiped, mounted, odind back....so confusinG
Odin to kc1 and reflash.

Its not confusing I flash different roms about 50 times a day and I never bootloop, try flashing the ext4.converter before the rom or enable voodoo, also make sure you havent flashed whitehawkx kd1
sent from my sgs4g 2.3.3, finally
did you fix the bootloop? i hope you tried again with icbinb because it is really smooth.
Flash the ext4 converter, then icbinb, then try. If that doesnt work, do same steps then flash bali 3.3 uv kernel afterwards
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
mine's doing the same thing.. here's what I did
ODIN'd back to KC1 with root to start fresh (had whitehawx KD1), and pushed the CWM recovery file to system/bin.
quick booted to recovery, wiped system and data, checked mounts (UMMU), and flashed the final.5 from the zip. Everything seemed to go okay and it said flash was successful.
Rebooted phone, and it got stuck on the green android boot animation. during this time, the phone would buzz, then a few seconds later, do 3 quick buzzes, like something force-closed.
So I rebooted back to recovery (now RED CWM), enabled voodoo lag fix, checked mounts (UMMU), and rebooted. This time, the Linda voice came on and said some stuff and a bit later I believe she said "lagfix enabled", then it proceeded to the green android boot animation, where it's doing the same loop+buzzing thing for the last 10 mins.
where did I go wrong?

i literally just reflashed to icbinb. i odined to kc1. let that load. got cwm final and then i flashed bali 3.3 and rebooted the phone normally. once that loaded up, i went back into recovery, factory reset, wiped cache, checked mounts and flashed the ext4 converter. then i flashed icbinb.5. then i rebooted into recovery to make sure lagfix was enabled (it was for me because of the ext4...this is just to make sure it flashed properly) and then went back into the menu and i rebooted normally.
It worked!!!!!!! Thanks jager!!!! :d dsexton the ext4 converter worked <3333333 so sexy!
trying your steps right now and after flashing kc1 i go to recovery with cwm and hit reinstall pckgs,it doesnt load cwm.what do i do??
you dont have krylons final cwm. look for it under the mod section of the bible. once you put the recovery file in the bin folder and the update.zip in the root of the sd, try going to reinstall packages again.
BROKEN!!
i finally got this rom installed and now im getting constant messaging.mms fc's and google framework services,and NON STOP!!
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions. See if that helps

wonderful instructions!! thanks alot! this really helped stop the vibration crashes i keep having.. just as soon as i think things are about to stabilize
I followed jagers instructions exactly and I'm stuck on the Galaxy S 4G screen (white text) with the Samsung logo at the bottom. I heard Linda after I did my reboot and now I'm stuck on this. I started with KC1 and followed all of the steps. Not sure what else to do here.
Ok, I wiped cache/davlik cache/fixed permissions and I have the green android dude. I might be up again...
Edit: Nope, starting over again with those exact instructions...
Finally booted...man, these Samsung phones are ridiculous compared to HTC!

Yep, thanks again! I really like the rom a lot...definitely worth the work now that it's running and I restored all of my apps through Titanium.
One question about TW4.5, how can I swap out the 4 default icons on the bottom of the home screen? Or do I need to grab another launcher?
push the CWM recovery file to system/bin?
okay i odin to kc1 but how do push the CWM recovery file to system/bin.

thanks i got now lets try and flash this baby
alright i've been up all night and i have no idea what i did. i guess we'll start from the top.
one clicked rooted
downloaded rom manager
installed cwm
installed bionix frost rom
decided to mess with voodoo
and where it gets messy...
wanted to try out a gingerbread rom, so flashed after a full wipe
forgot to turn off voodoo
now when i try to get to the recovery screen, its all garbled. sometimes it doesnt even come up.
on top of that, i cant mount the sd card anyway. what should i do?
Do not use rom manager use the cmw from krylons post. To install gb you need gb bootloaders. So. Install kg4 leak by chadster than isnatll kg4 kernel than flash your gb rom thru cmw and walla..

I got used Odin to flash that hawk.zip from another post to get it back to stock. I've never really dealt with partitions before, so it'll take some getting used to making sure everything is mounted.
Wouldn't work on my computer and I was up all night trying to figure out how to wipe and flash from adb lol. Feels good to finally get some sleep.
I'll make sure to read guides more throughly before flashing on phones I don't own lol.

Hi!I just can figure whats wrong with the phone.I am very sorry to have to post this but this is what i have done until now:
-it was original t-mobile sgs4g soft 2.3.6
1. i downgraded to froyo
2. tried to apply the froyo cwm recovery
3. didnt worked (dunno why)
4. installed another version with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193751 the cwm worked but it kept having cant mount sd card
5. installed the new cwm with kernel ..didnt worked same thing
6.installled again the froyo with odin
7. finnaly worked installed the octane
8. octane froze at sgs4g screen ,not boot animation , kept reseting
9. 3 flashes and froyo and bla bla after i installed the black valhalla
10. valhalla works but i cant recieve calls sms or mms...
11. Need help!
Don't flash GB stuff on froyo boot loaders. Don't flash froyo stuff on GB boot loaders. If don't know how to repartition with a pit don't flash boot loaders as boot loader flashes may hard brick your device. If your unsure about what your flashing matching your boot loaders don't flash it. Finally all your mixing and matching incorrectly probably got you some weird gremlins so learn how to"one click" back to stock (I wrote a noob guide in general section) and start over. This will ensure GB boot loaders are flashed correctly good luck

Hello all, I need your help. Today I flashed a zip on a whim, and it has ruined my whole day.
I have managed to get back to CWM v2.5.1.3 RED, and can flash zips and clear cashes, all that. But when I reboot, it brings me right back to CWM. Any help for me? I am lost.
Thanks in advanced,
Nate
P.S. I am not afraid of the command line.
Try odin?
I have tried GTG Unbrick. That's how I've gotten as far as I have.
How long does it usually take? I'm staring at the Odin screen for about 5mins now and it still says "Set Partition" and "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"
Alright, FIXED, I just needed to keep retrying. It took like 5 attempts to get it going right.
