i am having the similar issues with my gf's sgs... i flashed to this rom from a rooted kd1 stock rom. after i flash bionix, it keeps rebooting at the splash screen. i have to put the phone in download mode and odin the rooted kd1 rom in order for the phone to work. i am going to try another rom as well.
Yeah me too! I'm on trigger I love it, but going to back to bionix frost! Love that cause of its bionix

yea, you soft bricked the phones. puff, you'll have to use odin to flash a new rom and start over. look in the bible for the noobs guide to odin. it has everything you need to restore your phone.
joker, make sure you wipe the data/cache and check your mounts. should look like unmount, mount, mount, unmount.
its not the rom. black ice and frost are phenomenal! once you get it running, you'll love it. hope it works!

lol yea thats what i thought i did! im new to android but i already know that odin is a must have. i have a sprint epic and i soft bricked it a few times as well trying to get it rooted/custom rom. i have the rooted stock kd1 rom for her tmobile sgs and stock rooted ec05 for my sprint sgs. those roms always seem to bring me back from a soft brick so im holding on to those.
another issue im running into is that cwm does not seem to fully install. i replace the recovery file and the reboot into recovery, flash the cwm zip and it works... that is until i reboot the phone, then i get the samsung recovery...
also, i dont think i mounted/unmounted... im going to retry this. oh yeah, what exactly is bionix about??? just curious... i have acs syndicate frozen rom on my epic oc'd to 1.2 and uv'd using genocide 1.1 kernel with lots of mods.
would you guys say that bionix is a good rom? what themes and mods work on this rom?
Your cwm works fine. Once you are in samsung recovery, you should click on reinstall packages.
Once you have installed a rom, I would flash the bali 3.1 kernel its a newer cwm.
Always check mounts.
Check out the bible for bionix info. It's nothing but amazingness from krylon and team whiskey. Same with black ice. Check out trigger too. A lot of options.

Whoa whoa whoa! Don't flash the update.zip file. Just leave it in the root of your SD card and it'll be fine. Follow krylon360's instructions really carefully for this one.
Bionix Frost and Black Ice are EXCELLENT ROMs. I think they're pretty much the top of the line we have right now. Check dsexton702's new mod thread.
Good luck!

For those of you who want to return your kernel back to stock KD1 (and I can't see any reason why), here's the file to do so.
http://www.mediafire.com/?h8v33yg04ht621a
Copy this to your SD card on your SGS4G. Enter into ClockWorkMod by QuickBoot or the typical button method. Flash using CWM.

You hit that right on the head. Hence why I did it. It was a fun little exercise too just to:

Sure. It will take me a bit, but I can do the KC1 Deodexed.
are kc1 kd1 and bali the only kernels we can flash without bricking??
I flashed Bali_SGS4G and realized some issues with the sound routing to the speaker on wifi calls, so tried to revert back to original kernel using this update but it gets stuck in an endless loop after the home screen loads. When I go back to Bali it boots up fine. Any Idea ?
I think it could be because my phone is actually a T959VUVKB5. Now I need to see where I can find a stock kernel. Sorry I just got this phone and new to it.

Give me a few. I can see if I can take Krylon's original KB5 package and extract out the kernel to where it may work. No guarantees.

I ended up flashing a stock rom with Odin and I'm back in business now. But if you could do that I'm sure another person with T959VKB5 will appreciate it.
What's the difference between KB5 vs KD1 anyway? Thanks

Sadly I don't think there's a stable Gingerbread ROM yet. People are reporting issues with all the versions (kf1, kf2, kg4, kg6) currently available. I'd recommend sticking to Froyo for now, though I can't point you toward any particular ROM.
This one's pretty popular though:

I read about gb not compatible with recovery and all so i guess we have to stick to froyo only.
will this rom work with bali 3.3 UV kernel?

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

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.

I started with:

then Odin again:
[Kernel][GB] Stock Kernel + CWM + Voodoo EXT4 Lagfix
Am I doing it correctly or would u recommend otherwise?

From stock 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 gb? I would use the same method in the op. But i would skip the voodoo steps in the begin because if i started from stock 2.2.1, all i would need to do is access download mode to odin kg4 leak. 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?

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

Ok so am familiar with android, and regularly flash and tweek my nookColor, but this phone is just WOW!
Ditching an iCrap4 for this phone was the best idea I had in a while, and within an hour after buying it I rooted it (had to do other shopping) . But there is so much more to choose from for an actual android device. The thing is I want to stay on stock 2.2.1 for a little while, until I do a lot more studying on roms.
Ok so here are my questions after tearing thru the searches with several different phrases:
1: Can I flash different kernels on stock rom? I keep getting many threads and read thru them hard but can't find the answer. Looking at Community Kernel 8.
2: Darn, reading thru other threads while creating this post fried my brain, forgot what 2 was.
Thanks y'all.
Yes You can! . I have flashed many different kernels on stock rogers infuse 2.3.3 with odin. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to on the AT&T version.
Sweet! Now to read up on odin, but will SGS or CWM work on the stock? That was the second question.

SGS kernel flasher works fine on stock ROOTED 2.2.1 ROM. I believe CWM is flashed/installed when you flash the community kernel in SGS kernel flasher or other method. I can't remember off-hand as it's been a while since I was on stock froyo for any length of time. LOL.
You will probably also want to read up on Heimdall as well. It's a good method of flashing pretty much anything to your phone and Odin can be finicky sometimes. Personally, I've never had a problem with Odin but knowing how to use both is a good idea. You know, just in case.
Even sweeter then, and I have CWM already, so that will get replaced? No problem.
This is gonna be hectic keeping all the stuff for the "andros" seperate. lol
I'm really itching to flash a rom, but this thing is set up like I like it, and it was a pain getting her there.
That is why I am waiting to flash, I'll get bored with the way it looks in a week or so, and start over.
Plus RESEARCH is crucial.
Thanks y'all
Ok flashing community v8 now and this voice is telling me it has 5 mins left, oh that is cool!
Now how do I tell if it took? What should cpu spy say? And I still have the green CWM. ( using rom manager, think its ok but can I switch it?)
3 button takes me to Red CWM 2.5.1.3 Voodoo lagfix. It wont let me get to my actual mSD card though. Is that normal?

I don't think rom manager does us infuse owners any good so you can install it but I've read it doesn't work all that well with our phones. It worked flawlessly with my n1 but support for infuse is not there yet.
I've never been able to mount the SD card in red cwm if that's what you were referring to. The community kernel does not overclock so really you just take advantage of the ext4 fs and voodoo lagfix (robot voice lol).
Hope this helps.

So everything is going good, trying out different radios now as service in my area sucks!
I have run into a small problem though, I really want a different boot animation, but there is no bootanamation.zip in the system/media folder on the stock rom. Just a bunch of .qmg files. Can I just add the file and it work? I was gonna try it, but wanted to see if anyone else was a guinea pig. Dont wanna screw something up too bad.

if your on stock i believe they are located somewhere else, but the main question is why are you still on stock??? :O
want good battery life and performance? CM7 is the way to go. yeah you can get prolly the same off infused or other roms, but thats after numerous tweaks, tweak this change that, tighten that up, loosen that up, delete that, add this blah blah blah. in my experiences, CM7 is the best out of all of them.
just my 7 cents.
Is everything (bluetooth) working on CM7 (HDMI doesn't I know)? Weird issues of any kind?
That or Serendipity are what I am looking at.
Bluetooth is the only buggy thing. But I don't use it so it doesn't bother me. Other than that its amazing.

If the bootanimation.zip isn't in system/media try data/local. I don't currently have an infuse, in waiting for mine , but other phones I've owned have had the zip in data/local... Good day
Tried data local, but I think the only way to get custom is to have a custom rom. No boot.zip on phone at all using a searcher.
it has to kernel enabled too... Once you get on CM7, if you do, it will be in the media folder.

Tried that too, no luck.
So Im lookin at S7, but coming from stock ROM, with infused 2.0 kernel, I know I need the infused GB kernel after flashing the ROM, but do I have to wipe system and DATA, and start customizing my stuff again? Or just format system, cache and dalvic, flash rom and kernel, fix permissions, and go? Then my phone should be the same with all stuff there, just updated to a better ROM.
Alright... ive tried everything, and i cant flash a damn thing from the GREEN recovery...
how do i get to blue? That's what i was using before i soft-bricked and had to return to stock!

flash one of the froyo kernals and it will give you red recovery then go from there

The only time you will get blue recovery is on MIUI, CM7 (bone stock is actually blue too but different) If you tried to flash a non CM7/MIUI rom with blue recovery, that's most likely the reason you soft bricked just FYI. (technically though, you should have been able to 3-finger into recovery, if that was the case.)
The ideal color of CWM to flash from is red, so flash the infusion froyo kernel from the Super Thread if you want red(assuming your on stock Froyo). From there you can flash anything you want. As usual though, for MIUI and CM7, you have to flash the Rom zip twice. (the first gets you blue CWM)
edit: ah rex you beat me to it lol
awesome... THANKS to both of you!

Ok, I am a noob also, and I currently have CM7 installed and can only get to the blue recover. Am I not able to install any other kernel than the one that is packed in with the ROM? I would really love to be able to install either Infuse-GB or the infusion kernel. I really don't feel like "soft bricking" my device. I am assuming just a stock restore or fresh install of a custom ROM would fix that judging by your context, but I just got this thing and I don't want to fully brick it. I am having so much fun flashing all of these roms, as I have been an iOS user these past 4 years, and the [ROM][2.3.7] SuperCm7-Infuse4g-KANG-V1 [12/31/2011] is certainly my favorite ROM so far.

Dude as much hell as I've put my phone through the last few days, I'm convinced there is no stopping this phone.

Ok, I am a noob also, and I currently have CM7 installed and can only get to the blue recover. Am I not able to install any other kernel than the one that is packed in with the ROM? I would really love to be able to install either Infuse-GB or the infusion kernel. I really don't feel like "soft bricking" my device. I am assuming just a stock restore or fresh install of a custom ROM would fix that judging by your context, but I just got this thing and I don't want to fully brick it. I am having so much fun flashing all of these roms, as I have been an iOS user these past 4 years, and the [ROM][2.3.7] SuperCm7-Infuse4g-KANG-V1 [12/31/2011] is certainly my favorite ROM so far.

Nah, I did it with another one. But I will someone would mention under the CM7 post what kernels are compatible. I understand I am a noob, but I have done sooo many searches and I can only read so much before I just have to try things out for myself. And you are right, luckily I did not brick it. I wasn't too worried, I sell phones on eBay and I would have just lost some money...no biggie. I hope to gain a better knowledge of the android system and how it works so I can just tinker my butt off. Im a flashaholic.
i downloaded infused 2.3.3, flashed it with cwm, and it got stuck on the boot animation, the X, i re-flashed, pulled battery, even factory reset and flashed, nothing, getting stuck, im really scared
EDIT- now its stuck at the samsung logo, anything!?! please!
Search this forum for GTGs ultimate unbrick. This will bring your phone back to stock.
or hemidall flash back to stock rom, unbrick it and flash to any other rom of your choice.
so i took it to at&t, they re-flashed the stock rom, but now when i turn the phone on, it ONLY boots into e3 recovery, not the auctual 2.2 rom, any help?
You need to flash the unbrick by gtg to repartition your device... that's what has happened... some how your partitions got jacked and its not letting you get past the kernel screen... its all good...your phone is not bricked... and definately don't take it back to att...gtg unbrick....with pit...factory reset from phone... settings/privacy/factory format...then you should be good

First post on how to do it. Then you need to scroll to page 40 and get the file from secretasianman.
Make sure you thank him.
sounded like you need to spend some quality time with my how to guide.
@OP:
I used Infused 2.2.3 for months since its inception before I switched to Zeus. I would recommend moving to one of the later roms like Zeus or Revelation or anything else since they have the later android version, and pack in more features too.
