Cannot odin stock SGS4G - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I tried to flash a rom with CWM but i couldnt mount sd, it gave me an error, then phone would not boot. I got into download mode and am trying to ODIN back to stock, but all i get is the 3e recovery loop. any ideas? in the recovery (3e) after one flashes, it gives: E:cant mount /dev/block/st110; E:delete_files_for_s1_data:cant mount DATA; Cache wipe failed. any help would be appreciated

which rom are you flashing with odin?
open odin 1.7 first on your computer
put your phone in download mode
odin should detect it
use ODIN whitehawkx KC1 found on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
then just press start and wait for it to finish (approx. 2mins 35secs for me)
when its done, it will reboot you into the blue stock recovery and just reboot it and let the rom load for 10mins or so

i tried the stock KD1, the screen turned all blue one time, and when i threw my sd into my computer, it was in read-only state, and couldnt add or delete any files

Don't do kd1. go into the bible and find the noobs guide to odin. Follow those directions and you should be ok. Let me know how it goes

should i do KB5 custom or the KD1 + root? also, the kb5 gets hung at modem. I'm following the guide and only putting it in PDA in odin, and no PIT file

I did kb5 and it worked fine for me
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

kb5 will not load all the way. kd1 gives me recovery loops. ive gotten kb5 to load, but does recovery loops, never boots into system

ok now try KC1

Kc1 worked

Kc1 is the best to start with especially if you plan on flashing other roms like team whiskey's bionix roms or team acids icbinb don't forget , read read read.... and Check your mounts ;-)

[Kernel][GB][KG4/KG6/KH2/KI1/KI3/KJ1] Stock Kernel + CWM + Voodoo EXT4 Lagfix

These are modded stock kernel from all gingerbread leak. I didn't change anything to these kernel, they are pure stock but did added few mods to it.
Things I added:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)
- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)
Installation procedure for RAW LEAK version:
- Install kernel using ODIN version, phone will reboot automatically.
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery).
- Disable voodoo
- Reboot
- Install busybox from market
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery)
- Enable voodoo
- Reboot

Now im at a totally balnk screen still in download mode took the battery out put it back in and its a black screen still in DM..
Actually where can i find the bootloaders? I flashed hawks deodexed sans the bootloaders. will I have to extract from original leak? Or should I still be on froyo cause I can't get into recovery on this rom

im flashing back to KD1 then ill flash the debloated version then ill odin this kernal see if that works
Damn! Now I have to switch to Gingerbread. Great work drhonk!
Thank You! You are the Man!
So... my kernel flash failed, and I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message... Am I screwed? or should I still be able to enter download mode?
EDIT: Scratch that, it took a bit, but my phone appeared in Odin again. No worries
DOUBLE EDIT: This just flashes in the 'PDA' field right? I'm not doing anything wrong?
AThis sounds like good news, if only i understood what most of the stuff meant. Can someone give me accurate, precise directions on flashing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Current info: I'm on balil 3.3UV kernel, ICBINB, and kf2 modem. Thanks for all the help awesome community! Thanks to drhonk for making this kernel too!

That's what's happening to me. I wonder... if we replace the one in the leak and flash that, should it work?

I'm assuming that it worked perfectly for you?
which slot does this get flashed from bootloader, pda, phone, or csc

This is a modded stock kernel from the latest gingerbread leak, UVKG4. I didn't change anything to the kernel, it's pure stock but did added few mods to it. In theory .. this kernel should work with any GB leak for SGS4G as long as you're still on Froyo bootloader or KG4 bootloader, otherwise you won't be able to get to recovery.
Things I added:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)
- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)
NOTE:
This is ODIN file, use ODIN to flash this kernel .. if you don't know how, google it.

Humans, (and some others),
To flash. Put it into PDA on ODIN, or extract it and put the zImage in Heimdall.

Are you talking about cwm(orange or red) or 3e recovery(blue & yellow). If your trying to get to recovery with cwm you need to Odin the modded kg4 kernel(yes it works with kh1). Until you do that then you will only get 3e recovery.
To get to recovery hold volume up and down and power till the first splash screen appears then release. Hope this helps you
***Edit***: you need to flash drhonks kernel. Sounds like somthing didnt take.

cwm - orange
and that's the thing, when i hold volume up & down with power key, it goes to the splash screen then it goes no where. if i let it go it stays in the first splash screen, if i keep holding it, it loops. the only way to get the phone started is to touch the home key after that first splash screen
odin.. uhoh
Yea I would suggest odining the kg4 leak. It sound like you bootloaders are messed up. Odin will pick it up right?

I used sgs kernel flasher and flashed kernel and it restored my voodoo red cwm. I lost recovery as well after flashing this. That's what happens when u don't read lol.

I odined, a kd1 rom... I'm back to stock froyo, kinda....
Also, how do you flash .rar files using odin? Can you? I haven't found any .tar kg4 roms
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
extract the far, in there you will find some tars. The first one which is 290+ mbs, is the one that you put in the "PDA" section. The one that has "CSC" somewhere within the title is put in the CSC section, the one with "Phone" is put in it's corresponding section. the .pit file is put in the top left pit section. Make sure you have the samsung drivers. If you don't, you are A, either nothing is going to happen, or B, you will end up with a 600 dollar brick.
So flash up, Then flash the GB voodoo kernel.tar in the PDA section.
Then go to cwm, flash what you want to flash make sure it has the GB voodoo kernel in it as well, then go to the voodoo section of recovery, disable everything, then reboot. You will have recovery on GB

Bricked Phone

My son bricked his phone last night! I'm not familiar with samsung and odin at all. I have an evo and I'm always installing roms on my phone, so I'm aware of the process. Can someone please explain to me how to fix his device using odin. I have already installed the proper drivers and odin software. I'm not sure of what rom or where to get a stock rom from. I also dont know the process or steps to begin usin odin.
Thanks

from that link, go to the op, find the noobs guide to Odin and follow that. if you want, you can Odin to a different ROM. But I would suggest sticking with a froyo one until you know what you are doing

take out your battery and sim card. then flash KB5 in Odin. make sure your battery is over 15% as well. let me know how it goes. we'll figure it out
Ok odin worked. But now its stuck on the boot image. I can boot into recovery but when I restart my sons phone, it gets stuck at the boot image. Im not sure what I'm doing wrong.

people still use those. SO last week. He says running audio ftw.
Just trying to point the guy in the get my phone fixed direction. I'll edit the post and make sure he boots to audio!
when they are talking about mounting, what does that mean. I see it in recocery, but when i select it, nothing happens.
Ok, I flashed the rom in recovery and it just sits on the splash screen. It's not boot looping, just sitting on the splash screen.
look up the noobs guide to odin in the bible and follow that. you should be up and running after that.

[Q] Problem flashing ROM

Ok I just find out that I can't seems to flash any BML rom except for MTD roms (CM9, cMUIU, AOKP, etc).
I have gone searching for answer and I'm not sure if the problem seems on just my phone. However, at one point, the first time that I have flashed a BML rom ,Valhalla Black, worked fine. Then I did Odin back to stock to KJ6 and from there everything seems to failed to flash. On previous post, I tried to flash Antonx Barebone and failed. I made sure that the mount on the system read "unmount system" then I went ahead and try the others and none seems to able to flash, I tried ICBINB v2, Unnamed and both failed as well.. then I went ahead and tried CM9 and voila it works.
I used T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click to get it back to stock, reflashed with bootloader checked, then installed SGS kerner flasher to flash sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc1.zip and everything failed when I try to flash those BML roms.
Any one has an idea?
The One-Click you used is not rooted. Go back to the One-Click thread and flash AntonX's kernel that way. You need to be rooted for SGS Kernel Flasher. You were not rooted if you did the steps you posted. Flash the kernel then flash whatever ROM in CWM afterwards.
You could go lumins way with getting root access or just use superoneclick that's what I've done many times before or just run the gremlin remover

Well I skip the part to mention that I did root my phone.. I did manage to install any kernel but once I get into recovery to install the rom, it just fails.

Then run the Gremlin Remover and try again. Use a different USB port than the one you used Heimdall with. You will be rooted and have CWM. Then try flashing a BML ROM again
I did used gremlin remover try to flash icbinb and it fails...

Finally after trying and trying numerous time... I almost gave up on it, I was finally able to flash BML roms. I did FB's [ODIN+CWM] GB Ext4 Starter Pack and from there, I flashed Antonx's Barebone and finally it boot up. I tried the others roms and it work just fine.
Thanks everyone.
