Im a bit confused...
I have worked with so many HTC phones, rooting those and installing CM7.
Now I have to do the same with a Samsung Galaxy S 4G of my cousin.
So right now I rooted the phone using SuperOneClickRoot v2.1.1.
Now I don't find a way to install a good ROM. I see CM7 don't support this phone. I have installed ClockWorkMod and it looks really rare in this phone, It don't have the options to backup, restore y install a zip.
So I come here asking you guys if there is a form of getting Gingerbread to this phone and How I can do it?
Thanks!
How did you install cwm

I think I installed it using Rom Manager, but It dont installed.
I just want to know how I can install a gingerbread on this Galaxy S 4G
Rom manager does not work with sgs4g. Go to dev section and find the thread cwm final by krylon360. That is how to get cwm recovery working.

Okay so my friend flashed cwm through rom manager on his SGS 4G before realizing it wasn't the correct way to get cwm. Is there any way he could remove the bad cwm so we can replace it with the correct cwm? Even if we have to completely wipe the phone to do so that's fine, I just don't know how. A guide or link would be great! Thanks!

Tell him to get astro or another file manager and find something called update.zip, delete it, them install the right one. For the sgs4g just search the development forum for CWM FINAL. Hoped i helped.
Thank you that is exactly what I needed!

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.

Finally Worked
Ok I followed the video tutorial and I finally got root and CWM.
I am now going to attempt to install Maximus Ginger...
If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:
http : // tinyurl. com/ Sidekick 4GALLin One
Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...
Thank u all for your help...

Its actually 4.0.0.2 if you're going to be anal about it...
I'm pretty sure downloading cwm from rom manager doesn't flash a voodoo recovery (3.0.0.2).

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks

Hi.
Do i need to be rooted to install clockworld mod from rom manager?
Thanks.
You need to nvflash clockwork mod. Look in dev forums. Do not use from manager.

Do I need to be rooted for nvflash?
And also why cant I use rom manager for clockworld mod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Nvflash is safer. Rom manager will not help if you brick your phone. It is a fake flash. Takes 5 minutes to do it the right way. No you do not need root.
Ok so far I already installed cm7.1, but I couldn't install the kernel because the one I wanted is currently unavailible. Can I install the kernel afterwards when it is availible even though I already flashed a new rom?
Thanks.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
You can install a kernel later.
Hello all wondering if I fried my phone. It is rooted and I am trying to flash the sgs v2 rom. It has been on Samsung screen for thirty minutes now. Did I screw up? Thanks for advice...
yeah probably. where did you find the rom?
look for gtgs ultimate unbrick and that should clear things up

Used the one from rom manager. I followed all steps provided. Sorry the gtgs v2 rom. Is the one I did..
Second phone I broke. I'm learning though... lol thanks for your help..
I have rooted this phone and the other. Also have rooted my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi and I am running the new ICS rom. Love it!!!!
sorry im not familiar w that rom but the ultimate unbrick will put you back at stock and you can start over. it can be a pita at times but it never fails

If the screen turns on, you're not hardbricked, use one of gtg465x's unbrick packages.
