The next in the series of Odin flashable files, here's drhonk's Bali kernel for the SGS4G in an Odin flashable format! No more having to mess with pushing a custom recovery file to /system, as long as you have a Windows PC with Odin on it you'll be good to go.
FEATURES
Roots your phone
Installs ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM/CWR)
The UV kernel gives you more freedom for overclock settings.
NOTES
This is for FROYO ONLY versions 2.2.x only, NOT 2.3.x
Comes in 2 flavors, UV which is undervolted, and regular.
Please read drhonk's original thread for features and usage.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the file to your Windows PC
2) Extract the 7-Zip file using a compatible program, such as 7-Zip
3) Load up the file in Odin, putting it in the PDA section
4) Flash
5) Success!
ODIN
Learn how to flash files with Odin using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
All files go into the PDA section of Odin. Your Odin screen should look like this:
KERNELS
bali3.3UV.7z
bali3.3.7z

Nope, for Froyo only. There's no Bali for Gingerbread yet, but drhonk posted his custom GB Kernel here:

What's Froyo again? XD
Thanks for your work! Flashing from Froyo is gonna be much easier now. It was so time consuming to root, go through the market for a root explorer, and then push the files manually! :O
Denpad. You won't lose data by flashing this and yes those are all the steps.
Bkoon, you're welcome

You will not lose your data with just flashing a kernel, but once you flash a new ROM, you will. Make sure you do a back up of your current ROM before you mess with anything.

Sorry for the noob questions, I'm used to a vibrant so this is all different to me. Just to be clear about what this does....basically it just roots the phone and adds cwm, but does not change anything about the phone other than that or wipe settings/ data?
I'm using a mac that I have parallels with xp on. Would this work that way? I had trouble trying to root before on parallels with superoneclick...the file just wouldn't run. Also, i'm assuming the phone needs to be in download mode for this to work?
Thanks.
You will not lose data. Yes, it gives you root and cwm. Yes, you have to be in download mode.
Are you dual booting or running vmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i'm not exactly sure, i'm running parallels within osx so I think that would qualify as a virtual machine...I don't know what you mean by dual booting
Well, i've tried it in parallels and no luck. Odin opens fine and loads up the tar file. However it never recognizes the phone. I have the correct samsung drivers installed and windows recognizes that the phone is plugged in, it just doesn't make it into odin. It seems that there is just no way for me to root this phone with a mac, and unfortunately i don't know anybody with a pc. Oh how I wish somebody could make an app for the market that would root just like the vibrant...... it was sooo easy with that phone.....oh well
Well this isn't a vibrant, so I will end that argument there.
Are you in download mode when connecting to Odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Why not give heimdall a try. You can flash bali through odin and you'll get your phone rooted and get cwm installed.

yes, I am in download mode, it just doesn't show up. I've heard that odin can be picky about usb issues, so perhaps there are too many factors at play between the mac and windows interface for it.....I don't know. And, I'm definitely not trying to start a vibrant vs 4g argument, i understand that they are very different. I'm just frustrated that i'm having such a hard time rooting this phone.
I've never tried heimdall, is it a vm as well....similar to parallells?
Thanks for taking time to read this and give advice btw....it really is appreciated regardless of whether I get this working or not.
Heimdall is a flashing program for windows/mac/linux. The author of it reverse engineered Odin's file transfer protocol and made that program available for free.
I flashed the latest PBJT 0807 novodoo kernel on a fresh EE4 phone using CWM 0730.
When the phone boots I hear the droid boot noise, but the screen is black with no logo.
In about this phone the kernel shows as:
2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
However when trying to run applications that need root or trying SU in the terminal I says I do not have root. Wifi tether says "Not root"
I have tried wiping the cache from CWM and rebooting and still have the same problem. Can anyone help or let me know if I need to provide more information?
Reflash with a full Odin of a custom rom. Don't stay stock. Eclipse, GummyCharged, or Humble.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
I would really like to stay stock with a novoodoo kernel. Should the 0807 kernel be giving me root access, I thought it should?
Here is the dump of root checker, I've tried installing the super user app from the marketplace but still no go.
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - is NOT installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the Android Market
The adb binary is set to default shell user access as root
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/bin/su:
/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard su binary location: ls -l /system/xbin/su:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location: ls -l /sbin/su:
/sbin/su: No such file or directory
SU binary not found or not operating properly
Have you tried reflashing with Odin? Trust me, once you flash a custom rom you wont ever go back to stock.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
When you say have you tried reflashing with odin do you mean with a custom rom or do you mean to reflash cwm and try to update the kernel again? I've run custom roms before but would prefer to run stock.
Am I mistaken in my thinking that the pbjt kernel alone should have given me root?
He means a full odin package which would give you cwm/kernel/ROM all in one. I love Eclipse but I understand if you just want a stock phone with root so just try reflashing CWM in Odin and reflashing your kernel in CWM, that should do it. If not, redownload your kernel and CWM then try again, you might have got a bad download. Also, when you're flashing make sure you use the stock cable that came with the Charge.
Thanks blarrick I'll give that a shot. Does the lack of a logo screen indicate that something went wrong? Also does flashing the new kernel place the su binary in the system bin?

Odd it's not working...do you mind me asking why you prefer non voodoo?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
I had problems with trying to go back to stock using voodoo kernels (the disable didn't work properly). I've gotten stuck with a soft bricked phone even after following instructions with the .pit and full image.
I felt that I would have less chance of doing that again if I didn't use a voodoo kernel and didn't have to worry about the fs conversion.

He probably just wants a stock Droid Charge that can use root apps like wireless tether and stuff.
Odd that it's still not working, you might have to do a full factory reset but don't try it yet, keep looking for answers i just think it's weird that you aren't getting a bootup animation.
Yeah the whole no boot animation is the concerning thing, it's also weird that it shows the expected imnuts kernel. If flashing the no voodoo doesn't work properly (no boot animation) I'm concerned trying something else entirely might conflate the problem.

I think that going to the 0710 novoodoo may be where you need to go if you don't want to go to voodoo. I used it when I first rooted and had no root issues. The 0730 novoodoo had root issues from my experience and what some others have reported.
If you use supercurio's Voodoo Control app, you can reliably disable Voodoo to prep for flashing a ROM.

Could anyone provide me with the link for 0710 no voodoo? It doesn't seem like the dev thread has old versions. I can then report back if that fixes the problem.

edit: i have all of imnuts' kernel .zips if anyone needs one
First off, i'm sorry if there are posts on this. I searched this site and Google to find my answer. I tried flashing the Infused rom first, the flash didn't work, I was stuck in boot loop. I eventually used Odin to get back to stock. I decided to go with the SuperCM7 instead to try my luck with that. I am rooted and have installed CWM through rom manager(galaxysi9000 as im sure you all know. I'm trying to follow the steps on infinitybiff's post(directions for flashing....) Anyways when i try to go into CWM recovery, i'm taken to the standard android <3e> recovery screen. Should I try downloading CWM to my sdcard and trying that? Any suggestions would be great!
Just manually replace the recovery file.
Could you guide me through that? Sorry im a noob.

I prefer method 1 in that thread. Always works for me.
I recently bought a charge off of ebay and it came in and I noticed it had an Gmail account still synced with it.
Ok I thought, I'll just remove it. I go to remove the account and it says that "some apps require this account to remove this account you need to reset phone to factory defaults".
Alright so I go to do that and the phone reboots after I wiped data/cache and I go to add my account and realize that the other account is STILL THERE. So I do the wipe a few more times and still stays there.
By this time I figured I would root the phone and install CWM and try and wipe data that way. That still didn't work and I just started trying to get a stock rom back installed and finally I did. Except the ACCOUNT WAS STILL THERE, but now I'm getting a ton of FC's ranging from google apps to other processes. I've tried to install different rom's/CWM's/kernels in ODIN on my Window's laptop and I would alwasy just get the talking voice saying things like "converting data partition" and then it would just boot back into the stock but keep force closing.
I am now using my Macbook Pro on spring break and am trying to fix this using Heimdall but i've still had no luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

Okay so it seems like you're sorta familiar with this kind of stuff so this shouldn't be too much trouble for you. You're going to need to go back to stock EP4D ROM and re-partition your device. Here is the link to where you can solve this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
You're going to have to use Odin (You're going to need Windows to run Odin) fit this because Heimdall just doesn't cut it and personally I've never used it. Get Odin 1.82, it works really well with the Charge. Download stock EP4D and also the charge.pit file from the posted link. Place stock EP4D md5 file in PDA in Odin and charge.pit in PIT. Make sure you have Re-Partition checked and Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time UNCHECKED and press start. It will reconfigure everything and basically give you a brand new phone on the inside. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions just go back to the link to Imnuts' thread I posted.

No problem man I'm glad to help. If you want you can try a full data wipe. Boot into CWM and mount everything i.e. \system, \data, the whole nine yards and then wipe data/factory reset, and also wipe cache partitions and Dalvik cache. Then install whatever ROM you have available and see if that works. Otherwise you're SOL until you get a Windows computer and can Odin back to stock and re-partition everything.
EDIT: Just to clear something up, to mount everything scroll down to 'mounts and storage' in CWM.

I think your partition is mess up due to ext4. I have an idea, why don't you flash the new CM9 ICS rom, this will auto reconvert yours to ext4. You have nothing to loose at this point. Make sure you MOUNT SYSTEM before flashing.

Hi folks...
I am trying to help a friend that owns this phone. I recently rooted it for him and all was well until one day he said that the phone died and when he rebooted the phone would force close EVERYTHING, rendering the phone unusable. Here's what I have done thus far:
via odin... i have tried everything in the "how to fix your phone" post all with the same result of the phone booting to setup force closing everything.
so i got the idea to try and get cwm installed and try a custom rom (tweaked v2.2). Initially, after I installed it, the phone bootlooped. So i found the post with the stock fp1 kernel (which is the kernel with the rom if i'm not mistaken) and flashed it. The phone booted... still forces closing everything.
I am stuck now... Not bricked by any means, but this force close issue is going to be the bain of my existence:crying:. If anyone has experienced this and managed to get the phone working normally again, please help.
I am pretty good with everything on samsung phones except ADB... if the fix involves that just make the instructions idiot proof...
THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

If you are flashing with the pit Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and PDA should be the only things checked. If you are not flashing with the pit then Re-Partition should be unchecked
Thanks Paul, i was using the samsungPST program, so i will give the repartition option a try within that program.
Maybe you are using the wrong version of odin. 1.83 or 1.85 are the only versions you should be using
been using 1.85, will try 1.83...
When using PST check only the PIT. EFS Clear and Boot Update will break the phone even more.

what kernel are you running?
Whatever kernel that comes with the stock rom, that is unless it stays with whatever was last flashed kernel wise. If that's the case, it's stock fp1

Reading through this I haven't seen any mention of taking the OTA updates. After flashing EP4D with Pit did you allow the 2 over the air updates from Verizon? This needs to be done before flashing Tweaked. Then when you flash Tweaked I suggest using the Odin version "Tweaked with CWM". That worked out perfectly for me.
Update: Also did you check the MD5 Checksum of the EP4 file you downloaded. That's pretty much mandatory since bad downloads do sometimes happen.

I will double check all of these things... only problem, the phone is force closing setup right after odin, rendering it completely unusable. i will double check the md5 to make sure things are good and will get back to this...

You don't need to use recovery at all. Odin EP4 then take the two OTA updates then odin Tweaked 3.0 w/ CWM. It's in the OP. I did setup Google Backup on EP4 before I took the OTA's. I never use VZW Backup.
