Hello community. I was flashing bionix frost after doing a full nandroid backup and after flashing I'm stuck at the galaxy s 4g screen. I'm not sure what the next step is but I really need it tomorrow for work. lol Thanks ahead of time.
btw I have odin and drivers installed already if it will help
Can you get back into recovery? Did you follow the instructions to the T?
If you have CWM installed you can do the 3 button and then recover to backup from there. Else you need to follow the odin flashing guide.
Sounds like you didn't check your mounts before flashing the Bionix Frost rom, that same thing happened to me. I had to Odin just because now that there is a soft brick it won't let you get into cwm. Follow the instructions found in how to install the rom and when you get to check your mounts part follow this instructions. then it will flash just fine.

After you flash with Odin you are going to have a "fresh start". DON'T flash CWM recovery using Rom Manager. Use Krylon360 CWM 3 Final and fix your mounts per the OP of the ROM/Mod you are going to flash and you will be ok..
dsexton720 figured out the mount issue for us.

Thank you guys and gals. I odined back, flashed ext4, flashed 1.4 uv kernel, checked mounts and flashed bionix, and viola! As terminator would say "I'm back"
I messed up mounts btw which was the cause.
A side note... Doing this has actually fixed my gps taking 10-15m to lock to a satallite issue. I get lock in like 5 seconds.

Im having a similar problem and after looking through about 100 posts for odin i still have not found anything useful for it. It fails with KD1, KC1, and KB5. Its always on the cache step. I dont understand what im doing wrong. Ive tried adapting to everything ive read so far but nothing has worked so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I bet it is your mounts in cwm the should me unmount, mount, mount, unmount. so i would odin then check mounts then install bionix from cwm. hope this helps
does anyone have the files for odin to reset a soft brick?
did the samething didnt set mounts as i was flashing black ice
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.

ok i restored my phone back to factory settings last night.. So what do i need to download that i didnt last night so this darn thing works???
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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
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!

check out my first post and look into the fugu and init.d tweaks.
glad to help. this community is awesome.
I was running Infused 2.2.3 for the longest time and when I always went into recovery it was red.
Well, I was switching roms and got a hiccup in the install and had to revert back to stock using odin and gtg unbrick.
Once I was back to stock froyo, I rooted, replaced the recovery.bin file with the no sig file and then went into rom manager and got cwm, rebooted, reinstalled packages, etc...
Well I have cwm, but when I get into it, its green lettering...not red.
Only reason I ask is because just about everywhere I see, they say get into red.
Any ideas on how I can get red installed?
thanks

When in cwm, choose to install zip from SD card and go all the way to bottom and select "update.zip" and if it doesn't reboot, select reboot now and it should boot into Red CWM. That might do it i think

Flash Entropy's daily driver kernel. You'll get red CWM and voodoo lagfix. Great kernel by the way.

thanks, I will prob have a rom with a stock kernel...if thats the case, can I flash entropys kernel (which is my choice one on custom roms) through odin in the pda slot?
thanks for the help.
I will only want to flash a custom kernel to get root, then back to stock because the rom I will be running is based on one of the newer leaks, and I want video.

Well you need to have a kernel with voodoo enabled like Entropy's or you can't get red cwm. The stock leaks HAVE to have a stock kernel for video to work however. Oh, and yes you can. You can do that or through SGS Kernel Flasher on the market. What do you need red for anyway?
Don't forget, if I helped you, hit thanks please

Hey guys,
I bought a Samsung galaxy s 4g the other day and immediately wannted to flash a ROM.
So I browsed around and found this ROM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321611&page=4
I had the clockwork mod already(words were red) so I put it on my sd card and installed from zip.. Everything worked fine but while it starts up my screen gets full of colorful squigly lines before it starts.. But I figured its not a problem. The ROM is pretty kool...(im using it now) but when I try to go back into the clockword mod recovery...I get those same squiggly lines and then my phone restarts .... I tried quickboot but it wont work either...
My previous firmware was froyo 2.2. And this ROM is 2.3.6
Does that matter? Did I permanently damage my phone? Please...help wil be appreciated dearly.
Thanks
You have to install gb bootloaders... Search fbis251, he has made a guide to get it done
P.s
You have to select "reinstall package" from stock recovery to get into cwm recovery

I'm currently running 2.3.6 KJ6 with drhonk's KJ1 flashed over it, and custom debloater flashed over that. When I tried to go back to Froyo I had problems because recovery gave a signature verification error in and would not install any .zips. I flashed back to 2.3.6 via ODIN (which I assume included the gb bootloaders) and everything works perfectly, EXCEPT I cannot make a CWM backup of my current setup, only of specific apps and data I designate using Titanium Backup.
When I go into ROM Manager and select "backup current ROM" it says CWM is not installed! then it asks me to install, and gives choices for 4 phones none of which mactch exactly, just the galax si9000. So far I have been to scared to try this, I don't want to mess anything up and I KNOW clockwork recovery red is working... should I install this and will it make it so I can make a perfect backup of my entire phone?

ROM manager should not be used on this phone, assuming you have a sgs4g.
If you Odin'd ravers stock kj6 you should have cwm recovery, giving you the ability to make a back up if not consider flashing it

Hey guys, relatively fresh nooblet here. Been following the forums since I got my phone last year. But just signed up now on xda now that I plan to root.
So I've posted before, just yesterday actually, and I got my phone rooted and whatnot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1952613
Now that I'm trying to get into CWM using ROM Manager app, when I am at the recovery screen and I choose the option to reinstall packages, I get a n error sign when it tries to install from sdcard.
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
So I understand I can't even begin to flash until I get past this.
Should I find and install this update.zip file (which I'm having 0 luck with). Or am I to wipe and start over again or did i possibly mess up.
Help a noob out here . Much thanks.
First of all, get rid of Rom Manager.
Now, I assume you are still on froyo.
You can either use odin or heimdall to update to gb and flash a custom kernel that includes cwm recovery, or flash a custom froyo kernel.
You should find everything you need on the iset thread stickied on the dev forums.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
What is the alternative to ROM Manager then?
Or should I ODIN/Hemdaill to an OS like GB that comes with CWM.
Cause thats all i need and I cant get past it.
I boot into the damn recovery then go to look for the ROM file and it's nowhere to be found.
Just going to start from scratch with a CWM installed.
Either heimdall or odin should do it.. look in the iset as I said and there are many packs.
one is an odin pack by jscott and includes cwm recovery already

There is no alternitive to rom manager...sometimes rommanager works...but most of the time itnjust causes soft bricks/bootloops...or does nothing at all
As andros said...odin or heimdal is tour best bet...i would go to qksters uclb3 oneclick heimdall thread and i think in the second post he has heimdal kernel packages that strictly flash only a kernel...its a small download and will get you cwm

Hey thanks guys.
I'm used to ODIN so I've been using that regularly.
I used a method to flash with Odin a Stock GB that comes with root and red CWM recovery. Got it from qkster's thread.
Emancipation ROM is really nice but I don't want GB. Every time I try to go to ICS, I have some kind of problem. I've soft bricked my phone twice now lol. But since there is alot of help in the forums, I've been able to go back to Stock or just flash back to Emancipation, it's become sort of my backup lol.
I'm sure I'll get it sooner or later.
Thanks again guys.
On a side note, the Infuse forums are so organized compared to others.
Was just going help my coworer root his HTC EVO and leave him to do the roms by himself, cause I don't want no responsibility but damn those threads are unorganized.
Maybe I'll try to flash that ICS/JB kernel that you, Andros did on that thread.
What a noob.
I have come to realize I am really a nooblet and deserve the title.
After many tries and a couple softbricks, my Infuse is up and running ICS.
It was quite easy, ODINed to a GB with root and red CWM, then flashed Entropy's CM9 as per thread instructions.
Thanks again guys.
