Ok so im new and I flashed my SGS4G using these directions to a T!
i would start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1099374
i am assuming you downloaded the rom already from the CWM rom section in the bible. its up to you. im biased towards bionix frost, but black ice is just as amazing.
i would also dl the ext converter and bali 3.1 kernel as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1123039) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1080871). place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card....which means that if you connect your phone to the computer and open it using windows explorer, it is that first window, which lists all of the folders. dont put these files in folders or anything.
once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery shutting down fully and pressing the power+volume up+volume down. once there, i went to reinstall packages to get into cwm.
then when this loads, i wiped the system/factory reset and wiped the cache. then i went to mounts and storage and mounted my system. (the final mounting output should be: unmount, mount, mount, unmount). i then scrolled to "go back"
i choose install zip file from sd card. choose zip file, which should be the second option if my memory serves me right. scroll of ext converter and install that one. then when that is done, go back to install file from sd card, choose black ice or frost (i LOVE frost) and install that one. then when that is done, i flash my bali 3.1 uv kernel. when that is flashed, i click go back and choose reboot system. once that is done, you will see the galaxy s screen for like 5 min or so followed by the team whiskey logo. once you see this, it will take another minute or so to load up. once you see that the rom loads up...LET THE PHONE SIT FOR 10 minutes. i know it seems long, but just let it sit.
after 10 min or so, i would go into your about phone options and check and see that you have bali3.1 and that the rom is correct.
do these tweaks as well
fugu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1127069)
init.d (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=init.d)
you can flash a modem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117331) using the same process as flashing any other zip file.
remember, the first option in choosing a zip file is update.zip from krylons final cwm. do not flash this after the rom/ext/whatever. im not sure if this has been addressed (im still a noob), but everytime i did that, i bricked my phone. lol. so just to answer your question before you wonder...cause i always wondered whether i should flash that or not. lol.
But after all this I get stuck at the galaxy S screen for more than 5minutes although it will let me back into recovery mode. Its called the "CwM voodoo lagfix recovery v3.0.2.8x" and then gives me a list of options. WHAT SHOULD I DO???
I would ODIN back to KD1 and redo it, but really make sure you have the mounts correct (I know you checked this already, but check it again.) If it still does not work, then I would still go back to KD1 and then try it again by re-downloading all the zip files again. That's what I had to do.
Those were my directions! Was my fault. Ext4 needs a supported kernel. You have one now. Go back into cwm and retry everything starting from wiping the cache and system. sorry about that.
Check your mounts after the ext4 converter just to be safe.

Yeah haha well im just gld i was able to fix it without odin. thats sounds like a pain... Any Jager555 i noticed youre running Bali 3.1 UV voodoo I downloaded the bail v3.1 voodoo is that why it didnt work?

No, it didn't work cause you were coming off of stock. The ext4 converter needs a compatible kernel...which you didn't have. Now that you have that red cwm, you are running a compatible kernel. So everything should work now. Reflash everything like I started before after you wipe everything. It should work ok. Like I said it was my fault for not mentioning that, not something you did.

If you are no longer on the bali kernel, flash bionix, so you have bali 2.1, and then flash everything according to my directions. Ext4 will only work if you have the compatible kernel.

Ok so I went into recovery mode and it brought me to the red voodoo screen now should i go into mounts and storage and change that stuff again or what should i do first???

wipe the data and cache. check mounts. flash ext4. check mounts. flash bionix. flash 3.1. go back. reboot system from cwm. wait. let me know how it goes. i'll be online.
Ok i just followed your directions again. But should i flash Bali 3.1 again if i removed it?

once you flash bionx, it replaces the kernel with 2.1, so yes. reflash 3.1
crossing my fingers...hoping it works...
any updates??
my phone is now flashed with bionix frost! thanks a million jager555 team whiskey drhonk and anyone else involved!

remember to leave it for about 10 minutes (i know its hard to do that)
check out my first post and look into the fugu and init.d tweaks.
glad to help. this community is awesome.
This is the Gingerbread KG4 leak + root.
This is completely stock and contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Odin Kd1 and KG4 Bootloaders(for Modded Recovery)
2. Boot into CWM recovery
3. Make sure mounts are correct
4. Flash via CWM
Let me know if any bugs are found.
Here is the Download
LINK
which odin file has the KG4 Bootloaders?
Infact,
Download and flash the leaked KG4.
It has the boot loaders.
Then flash Whitehawkx deodexed KD1.
You will now have the KG4 Bootloaders and the KD1 modded recovery.
Boot into recovery, load up CWM and flash. Let me know if you have any problems.
nice job flip ill have to tear it apart and lol do my majik
oh and if ur host gives issues let me know ill put it up on sourceforge for ya
Awesome! Is this the fixed root which does not break audio?

Hey,
Thanks guys.
I haven't tested it myself.
I hope its root works
it may not even have a working root.
For best results, I know ChainsDD has a flash able super user.
Use that after flashing.
For the audio, this should have working audio.
It will reinstall all the root stuff without causing kernel issues.

Audio works fine for me except during startup boot animation and also during wifi calling. Turning volume to 100% only gives you an effect of 15% volume for wifi calling and no audio for startup animation.
I don't think Whitehawkx ODIN KD1 has the modified recovery.. I flashed that rom a few times, and always had to push the modded recovery file into system\bin to get CWM.
I think that's why you guys are boot looping.
well one of his KD1's has it, I always flash it when need to go from GB to a CWM rom. It always works.
The file name is called PDA_KD1.tar
ah, maybe I'm thinking of KC1 then. Whitehawkx KD1 was stated to sometimes cause a bad file system though, which can affect future ROM flashes.
help
after flashing this ROM, my hpoone gt at blurred sbootanimation and it keeps on rebooting. it seems that it ruined my ROM, help me please.
hey airfluip1 thank you very much for making this but i as well get a boot loop do you think you could make a odin flashable version of this please that would help me out alot thanks again for everything.
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.

odin it the first one
you'll boot to cwm
go to voodoo
disable lagfix and system.
factory reset clear cache
reboot.
put the second one on the root of your sd card
reboot recovery
flash audiophile(if your son like music he'll dig it).
Hope that works for you.
EDited to give audiophile some love

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.
alright i've been up all night and i have no idea what i did. i guess we'll start from the top.
one clicked rooted
downloaded rom manager
installed cwm
installed bionix frost rom
decided to mess with voodoo
and where it gets messy...
wanted to try out a gingerbread rom, so flashed after a full wipe
forgot to turn off voodoo
now when i try to get to the recovery screen, its all garbled. sometimes it doesnt even come up.
on top of that, i cant mount the sd card anyway. what should i do?
Do not use rom manager use the cmw from krylons post. To install gb you need gb bootloaders. So. Install kg4 leak by chadster than isnatll kg4 kernel than flash your gb rom thru cmw and walla..

I got used Odin to flash that hawk.zip from another post to get it back to stock. I've never really dealt with partitions before, so it'll take some getting used to making sure everything is mounted.
Wouldn't work on my computer and I was up all night trying to figure out how to wipe and flash from adb lol. Feels good to finally get some sleep.
I'll make sure to read guides more throughly before flashing on phones I don't own lol.

I've done this twice but tried to flash an updated kernal via odin and the result ends in a brick. I'm running Octane v2 and was flashing the KJ3 version. I can't remember what I was running before, but did the same thing as well. What gives?
Hard to say without more detail. You said you were trying to flash a kernel on top of Octane but, to my knowledge, no one has put a KJ3 kernel out there. You may be flashing a new ROM vs a kernel.
If you are trying to flash a new ROM (KJ3 in this case) to replace Octane, then you need to insure you don't have voodoo enabled when flashing a stock ROM as stock ROMs cannot read the ext4 filesystem.
If you've already flashed a stock KJ3 ROM, download drhonk's KJ1 kernel with root/cwm/voodoo, flash it via ODIN, let the phone boot, reboot into recovery, disable all voodoo, reboot the phone, then you should be in a good place to flash whatever GB ROM you want.
I meant KJ1 kernel. I already had octane flashed but flashing the kernel via Odin, it bricks. I don't want to flash thru cwm for fear of the same

I get no response from the screen, power button, or touch keys. It wont even respond to my JIG. It'll respond to the pc when I have odin open to let me know it's connected, but other than that, almost like a dead rock. When I odin it, It will flash with just the blue status bar.
If you're using Odin, could it be that you're flashing the kernel in the wrong slot?
It could also be a bad download.
I just flashed Octane v2.X two days ago, and I flashed the KI3 kernel through CWM. Everything worked fine for me.
