Im working on recooking the stock gb rom with root support. Thank you white for the deodexed version without the sbl and boot support.
The reason for this recook as sammyfirmware gave us the leaked gm rom with a messed up sbl file which is why we lost recovery support as the boot loader seems to be from the international verson and the sbl file seems to be from one of the i9000 that had a borked sbl that didnt allow for the the recovery boot.
those of you that went from KD or anything pre gb that went to whitehawks rom you are ok as you didn't loose support and still have your non borked sbl file.
this is for those of us that did the stock gb rom and added root access after.
so if you used dsextons method off that rom which at the time we had no idea had a borked sbl please use odin and flash this rom as it will re add back a fixed sbl file ..
Also note if u dont reflash there is a possibility when the gb rom actually drops u wont get back recovery without doing this becuase it may not fix the borked sbl file.
if u have issues getting the rom to work let me know if u brick your phone i take no responsability for any damages gb may cause ...
Update
Updated install instructions
download and flash coocked gb rom in odin
once flashed data wipe cache wipe reboot phone go back into download mode
reflash kd1 or kb one onto your phone so the boot loaders stick
factory reset and cache wipe to pervent bootloops
reflash cooked gb rom back to system
cache and fs system wipe again
this will cause the gb cracked bootloaders to stick and give u a fully booting gb rom
Ginger snacks cooked adding to rom Made a nice ginger theme to go with this Dev build of the rom.
Things in progress deodexed
adding busy box and root support out of the box
bug fixes to prevent fc's
notification bar Bluetooth
notification WI-Fi fixes
Going to fix the premisson issues with the damn call log permanently...
ps i attached a working wi fi calling that isnt in the rom that will work on gb for those of you that would like wi fi calling feature back
update i removed the link do to to many people having issues im going to upload a full dump that u can odin using pit repartiton and flash back which wipes all of gingerbread off the device after that flash the flavor of your choice...

Downloading now. Do I need any of the CWM files on my sd card?
this right now should fix the problem that people had that flashed the initial... Where u could GET INTO download mode BUT COULD NOT get to recovery..
We still need Krylon to get a working recovery for us... This will just get you back recovery mode support.
all i did was fix the sbl and boot files..
The boot to download and recovery keys after u flash should revert back to pre GB which is
Vol up Vol down stick in usb for download mode
and then vol up and down and power for recovery..
When and if i can get a root Busy box + clockwork flashable ill upload that in its place and update the origonal post to reflect it Me and dsexton702 spent 2 days trying to get this back to where it should work proper and we bricked his phone in the process to bad he didnt live closer i could have unbricked it for him..

how long did u wait at the galaxy screen cause it does take a min if it doesn't work after that let me know i may have included the wrong boot file but that's differently the right sbl file

ya ur missing the point without quickboot u couldnt boot directly into recovery from the volume up down and power button to get into cwm at all as the sbl file that was included in the package was messed up.
also remaped the keys pre ginger flash so u could get into download mode the old way with the 2 button insert usb..
well im going to work more on gettin root support out the box custom shut down and startup animations and deodexing the rom and then adding back stuff so the rom doesnt fc at the notifcaton screen when u turn on bluetooth also will look into fixing the call log also.

Me too, quick boot is fine. I believe this ROM was unfinished, hence the lack of recovery. At this point in our game, recovery is insignificant. Even CWM isn't working right. I'm still trying to understand the issue with recovery.

re read origional post if you dont understand it please re read cause i dont know how else to tell you that you have a flashed file on your phone that broke some of the key press sequences on your phone in short if you did the inital gb rom and didnt wait for whitehawks you now have a broken sbl file on your phone... Thats the point.
ADVANTAGES OVER QUICKBOOT
Someday, we will be flashing a CM7 on our phone. If we use quickboot and we are in recovery, we flash, flash fails, we have to ODIN all the way.
With a fixed sbl, just restore.

more plane and simple even if you flashed a finalized ginger rom there was no 100 percent chance they would have included fixed files along with it so you may have well never been able to reboot back into recovery without quickboot which like another poster put eventually we will get cm7 and you would have still had the borked files.

NV Flash
its not the same. odin was a backup in case you couldnt even get into recovery, so there was download mode as a failsafe....which was through odin.. there has to be something like this available... anyone know.. or are we sol if we mess up bad
Im wondering this as well...my friend flashed a rom on the G2x and the wifi is broken. Rom manager won't flash into recovery. Used my Sim card which has internet but the phone won't recognize the internet. Tried the power+ volume buttons on boot up but nothing happens. Any idea on how to get back to stock? Rom is eagle's blood
You would need to flash CWM through NVflash
ROM manager will not flash CWM, it looks like it did but is actually a fake flash. That's why you need to do it through nv flash.

Yes. You flash back to stock with the KDZ file and the KD flasher program.

downloaded nvflash and drivers, have usb debug mode on but when i do anything on nvflash it says no usb connected?
nvm got everything done thanks a lot!
I believe that there's the program used to flash KDZ files, I guess that could restore EVERYTHING back to stock.

Koush and Cyanogen said ROM Manager is not doing a fake flash. After flashing the rom you have to immediately boot into recovery using rom manager. It them flashes the new recovery right after boot. The recovery partition is not available when the phone is in normal mode. If you don't do an immediate boot into recovery through ROM Manager then the recovery is not properly flashed. If you have updated to GB then the first time you must do the NVFlash method as there is no way to root the phone any other way at this time.

It is fake in the sense that no matter what you do it isn't on the actual recovery partition and if the phone goes to hell in a handbasket then you have to flash one through NVFLASH anyways. Koush just happens to have a vested interest in people using Rom Manager.
Yes, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. Seriously, you're just asking for trouble.
I use rom manager all the time. It works great for downloading and flashing roms on the fly... but just NVFlash first.
NVFlash takes like 3.5 seconds and your done. Nandroid backup and your good.
Then either download Rom manager or manually download and copy it to your SD card. Very very simple. Easiest phone ever to get going. You don't even need to worry about rooting first.
You'll gain root after flashing s custom rom. MIUI is my choice right now. CM7 is having problems after they merged the LG GB source.
MIUI 8.19 is found in the rom forums. Weapon is also nice but lacks some extras I'm used to.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI Love
Asus TF - Custom 3.2
Hopefully this can help someone who is starting their own ROM.
I have taken the KD1 files for the Sidekick 4G, deodexed them, and zipaligned them, as well as adding root.
All bloatware .apk's are still in the ROM, remove them as you see fit.

This is in preparation for a working CWM, so that we can get started right away.
Thanks, this looks promising, we'll see if it works when CWM is released.
There are 2 different Devs working on CWM for us, Jollette and Krylon360. Both are very talented, well known devs.

The point of this is just to provide deodexed files to users wanting to create their own ROMs and play around with their devices. If you want to attempt to flash without CWM, you could just re-compile the files to a .rfs, then .tar it and attempt to flash via Odin using the .pit file found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=605708&d=1306221776

Deodexed Stock.
and a Custom ROM debloated rooted and deodexed, its really fast and light. Just finishing up on the theme i think most of you guys will like it.
.. Just a heads up
Also for this ROM, its not deodexed correctly, a few days ago when i first had CWM working i replaced the script with an edify one and it flashed, but after boot animations i got a black screen and the 3 vibration (force closes). at that point, i had to Odin to stock cause i couldnt reflash CWM since this ROM doesnt have the modded recovery to allow the update.zip to flash . Just a heads up.

Were you coming from a GB rom? Be sure your not mixing bootloaders...Not sure what that is but if you flash just the stock kernel in ODIN, with the phone off (pull the battery)and using the button combo try and get into DOWNLOAD mode. you might recover it....or flash the Bali kernel and then try going back to stock again.

yes i did try flashing a 2.3 ROM,but it didnt work properly, so i tried flashing the stock 2.1 again using ODIN...it got installed, but later all these things started happening.
i even flashed the 512 PIT file that came along with the stock 2.1, but still no use.
can u please post the link to the kernel you are talking about and also how should i flash the kernel?
thanks for your reply.
hey the problem is solved. i installed eugene's 2.2 leaked build and my phone is back to normal now...!!!!
thanks for all your help. i really appreciate it...!!!
Glad to hear you got it...just be careful to know which bootloaders you are on, GB or FROYO... unless you have alot of problems with a ROM its not really necessary to ever flash back to stock...I flash rom to rom without any issue as long as you:
1. wipe cache partition,
2. then wipe dalvik cache and then
3. factory reset all from CWM...
4.then flash whatever .zip ROM you like.
Flashing back to stock FROYO/ECLAIR from GB with an odin rom you must be sure the stock rom either includes both PBL and SBL or no bootloaders at all and then your good.
Ok so yesterday I received a cappy from someone on here that I told them I would try and fix. I am not charging them anything and am actually paying shipping back to them. When I received it and turned it on it was stuck at the end of the cornkernel bootlogo. I thought hey this will be easy and flashed the heimdall version of I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click. Phone rebooted and is now stuck at the att logo. So I flash cornkernel, its stuck at the end of cornkernel bootup. So I decided on a whim to try and flash this kernel Devil3_1.1.3_HB_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807, luckily that got me into recovery, so I did a full backup of all the stuff on his internal storage and completely wiped the phone, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format sdcard, format cache, format data, format datadata (yes I know I wiped some things twice) . Then I flashed my rom, it just reboots to recovery after the flash, still reboots after a reflash of the rom. I then wiped everything again and tried flashing CM9's latest nightly to see if I could get it to boot up. Still reboots to recovery. So far all together I have flashed I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears, i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe, I897UCKF1_withBL,SGH-I897_I897UCKJ3, KK4-SE-One-Click, JF6 With Bootloaders, SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click Followed By I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click both are heimdall. All of those either left it stuck at att or kernel screen after I flashed a kernel. Anyone got any ideas? I am almost to my wits end.
Try the Odin version of this... Stock KK4 one click...it will do ya a full wipe and repartition for sure.

Not that I know of, It isn't my phone so I do not know the history other than him saying it didn't boot past the kernel screen and receiving it and seeing that and then what I have done. Normally the sd card data from what I have seen is wiped when the eu bug happens from what I have read, maybe I am wrong, but since I backed up his data off the sdcard that is why I do not believe it has had the eu bug.
Anyone have any more ideas, I tried the EU Bug Instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=85 Replacing the vold.fstab in the rom and also flashing it with CWM without luck. I am still stuck with it rebooting to recovery. I am still waiting on him to tell me his address again so I can mail it back to him since at this point I am lost. I told him MobileTechVideos would more than likely be his best shot at getting it fixed though.

Long story short, recovery is iffy at best for me. I went through something similar to this when trying to go from CM10 back to CM9 for the first time. Ever since then recovery has not been right.
What I did was
Install a stock one-click with bootloaders, used odin to flash speedmod kernel and then used that recovery to flash CM9 in three successions wiping everything each time. Somehow it took, and now I am no longer a crack flasher because I have the same kernel splash screen problem every time.
So,
Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv
PDA button in Odin3 1.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=566807&d=1302623831
Boot into recovery.
Flash your ROM
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Try to boot normally.
Thanks for the idea, but it's a no go, Phone just stops at Galaxy S SGH-I897 Kernel Screen. I can't even get to recovery. Only way I have got to recovery with this phone was flashing an ICS kernel.
There is a place that has rogers stock roms

I have already tried all three of the Rogers One Clicks with none of them actually doing anything more than the Captivate One Clicks, It still doesn't boot past the first screen. Thanks for the input though.
You've been using a one click with 2.3.3 bootloaders, they're are 2.3.5 bootloaders available that have solved certain peoples sleepdeath issues, including mine. I've done this procedure on several captivates to take them from mangled and non-bootable to latest bootloaders and working recovery to flash whatever rom I need to from there on.
Use this one click that includes the 2.3.5 bootloaders - http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip
After that goes through and you have stock gingerbead, use this odin package to flash the included devil kernel package, that will give you the latest CWM recovery
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip
After that, if you still can't boot into recovery, you have a hardware issue
edit: looks like you already did this more or less.......try it once more in this order? Then once you do this and boot into recovery, flash a rom and see if it will work

I'm going to do your steps again which is more or less what I have already done. I am waiting to hear back from the person so I can ship him the phone back and he can send it to MTV or someone or just junk it, its his phone and his choice. At this point I would say it needs Jtag or Unbrickable mod + repair. Although I am still trying ideas of mine and anyone elses lol.
EDIT: Still A No Go. Doesn't Boot Past ATT Screen After Flashing The Odin 1 Click, After Flashing Kernel then wiping and flashing rom, it just reboots to recovery
Well if the one clicks are successfully writing primary and secondary bootloaders and it's still not working, a jtag isn't going to do anything else. It almost sounds like the memory has a few corrupt blocks, but I can't say until you flash 2.3.5 BL's and see what happens

I flashed repartioned and flashed csc/phone/froyo from hawk (ODIN) - everything was ok
Then i flashed gingerbread (odin)- phone turned on everything worked
Afterwards i rooted it (super one click)- it worked
got sgs kernel flasher
Flashed antonx kernel for gb
when i tried to install cm9 it didnt work i checked logs and got this (im using cmr 6.0.1.2)
I: Cant partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcb1k0p
I:Cant format unknown volume :/external_sd
I: cant format unknown volume: /emmc
Any ideas?
Also i was trying to do this
flash froyo + everything from hawk
Flash gingerbread
root
get sgs kernel flasher
flash kernel
install cm9
install cm10
restore my cm10 backup
That's a lot of steps that aren't needed.

1)Run that, you have stock GB, root, and CWM all in 1 click.
2)Reboot to recovery, wipe and install CM9
3)Profit??

What CM where you trying to install? Are phone doesn't use /emmc or /external_sd. That's why it failing. Wrong zip from the wrong phone. Look under your battery and tell us what the model number says before you go any further and end up with a true brick.
cmr
... after i installed antonx's kernel i tried to install cyanogen mod 9 and i was using the recovery included in that
And yes i know what phone i have.. sgs4g (sgh-t959v)
What Cm9? It's trying to write to partitions that this phone doesn't use. Link the ROM please.

That's really weird that your getting those errors. We don't use emmc or external_sd. Heimdall will get you set back up but I've never seen ANYONE in all the time I have had this phone report that error. That's why I was trying to make sure you had the right phone and ROM before you went any further.
now what?

how do i go from stock to mtd rom? (im on the "other one" i have a 32 gig sd card with EVERY single rom on that list, every kernel, every modem so basicly i dont have to download them)
before i just installed it through cmr but is that right?
I want to go from stock to cyanogen mod 9 MTD
Im creating a backup right now incase i mess up later
That's will work as long as the recovery is CWM 5.x or later. You used to have to flash CM7 first but I'm pretty sure Team Acid fixed it in the new CM9 build. Just check the MD5 of that zip you where trying to flash. Those errors are very strange and I'm thinking you might have accidentally gotten the wrong CM9.

Ok im installing..
Also if this works can i just restore my cm10 backup? or do i have to install cm 10 then the backup?
You can try to restore it. If it's the same version of CWM that you backed up from it should work. Just do all the wipes including system and data before you restore. If that doesn't work for some reason just flash CM10 than do an advanced restore of data only.
Works
ok it works... cid kinda scares me
I guess im going to restore my cm10 backup then...
And thanks for all the help
wow i have to wait five minutes between posts that sucks
restore
got an err when trying to restore E:/format_volume: format_rfs_decive failed on system
Guess im going to install cm10 then restore
What an exciting day... i went from froyo to gingerbread to ics and now to jb
Ahh
Ok so i found out that when i flashed kc1 to kc6 on odin i left the repartiton checked... so some files were missing and i guess that was the problem... what is phone efs clear on odin again? isnt it have to do with something with celluar communications
ok everything is back to normal (except a few apps) And thanks for helping out!
Some apps don't restore. Like xda for example. If I restore a backup it will say app not installed. When I reDL it from Play all my settings are still there though. So it's saving the cache and not the app. I've never really cared enough to look into it. lol
