Need a little help.

Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

hey i did look but i guess i was looking for the wrong thing cause everything i came up seemed to be for different devices. Guess im a little more stumped cause the first file i downloaded off the fourm post i found seemed to be a html file? IF that is correct then ok ill go from there and i assume once i stick the zip file on the root of the sd card reboot to recovery mode and install it? This is what i was more confused about then anything.

move from sd to phone. reboot. uninstall updates from market. reboot. open market again (i would recommend taking this opportunity to getting the newest market app) and then move your apps (i would recommend link2sd)

Try A factorry reset then advance restor them back if you have a backup and see if that helps. Or just factory reset and restore a couple from the market and reboot to see if the problem persists.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

agreed. if you restored from TB, then that is your problem right there. always restore from cwm.

What ROM and kernel are you on? I had that problem with kg6 and Dr.honks kg4 kernel. If you are let me know I might have an idea of what's going on.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

@ GDofWR420 Tried that.. i have a back up from the original stock rom that came with the phone.. i tried it and once i flash a rom and i test it again it go's back to the same thing... Thanks though...
@ jager555 TB?.... Ima try the link2sd idea havent tried it yet..
@ farwek well right now im on desexton KG6 but see it doesnt matter which one im on.. i thought it had to the with the kernel and or rom but ive gone back to froyo and the same thing happens... and ive tried ALL the roms in the SGS4G community but it still messes up..

I had this issue on KG6.. From what I've read, I think it has to do with having voodoo enabled on a previous ROM that left an ext4 partition on your SD card. so there may be an old partition still on the SD that wasn't removed properly.
I think you are going to have to back up your SD, do a complete format (or use minitool to remove the partitions), and reflash your phone from stock. I know it's been discussed in the dev section, maybe someone can chime in.

hmmm... i think ima just oding back to stock.. andstart off cleasn.. thanks

here's the newest guide for converting the partitions for GB. He does mention the disappearing apps problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204682

Try this. Odin kg4 leak after that Odin kg6 leak but add the csc file from the kg4. Then use the fugu mod found with the kg4 leak to gain root. After that flash drhonks kernel but font mess with voodoo yet. Update the superuser apk through the market and grab busybox installer to and install busybox. Once you have done that open superuser and you should get a prompt to update su binary update it and boot into recovery and give the ext4 conversion a go. Hope this helps and ill keep checking in on ya till you get it.

Dont lose hope. It is possible to get it all stable just tricky getting it done. The steps I posted above worked twice for me and linda converted on the first try both time. Oh yea and at the end when you enable voodoo font check your mounts just reboot.

Excuse Me!?,
TB is the best root app ever invented. I have used it since its debut, On my HTC DREAM. By the way, I always restore my apps using TB. To fix the problem, Install all your apps via market, open TB, backup all apps. Do Data/Factory Reset, reinstall TB, all is well.

[Q] help please

I just did my first return to stock (ultimate unbrick) from infused 1.6 froyo. I basically did it so i could get the feel of it and possibly try another rom.
Well now i cant update/download anything from the market.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks.

Try redownloading and running gtg's ultimate unbrick again. Could have been something as simple as a bad download or a bad flash. If its not that, THEN would be the time to start asking questions. Bad flashes are more common than you might think.

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod

Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

You flashed a Froyo 2.2 ROM on GB 2.3 boot loaders. It might work but your recovery will be all screwy. Your probably soft bricked so back to heimdall. There is an icbinb for kj6. Search development

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers
