Bali 3.3 kernel issues

I tried installing the Bali 3.3 kernel within CWM as the instructions showed, i had been using KG4 Gingerbread. The phone is bricked now after the install. It hangs on the splash screen then vibrates once, then three times, over and over again untill you pull the battery or go back into recovery. Any suggestions?
Is there a procedure to clean everything on the phone for a clean install. Id like to ultimately try the Valhalla GB ROM along with the Bali kenrel on my phone.

Follow my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765

Ill give it a try, does it matter in which order after this i try to install the Bali kernel and valhalla ROM?

Bali doesn't work with any gingerbread ROM. The guide I posted will get you drhonk's custom KG4 kernel with CWM so you can flash CWM roms for GB.
You'll need to install Valhalla on step 11

Ahhhh, good to know.
The main reason i wanted to try this was for the notification light mod it has built in. Are there any ways to get this feature with a gingerbread ROM?

There's no BLN mod for our phones on GB as far as I know. I miss it too =/

+1 on missing BLN.... dam you GB!

You think its worth sticking with the current 2.3.4 without the earlier mods? Im coming from a Nokia E72, and that notification light was one feature i really liked about that phone.

I've been using KH2 without any BLN mod (audiophile ftw) and so far it's been pretty good. It's snappier than any froyo ROM I tried and you can make apps do things like do sound notifications every x minutes instead of having to use BLN. Not a replacement but a fair substitute

[Q] Looking for Samsung Infuse 2.2.1 Voodoo (ext4) kernel

Just upgraded from Captivate to Infuse... so far, Infuse is a solid phone. Looking for a Voodoo kernel which is basically stock, but has the following modifications:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition from RFS to ext4 during first boot)
I'm rooted with SuperOneClick and have a few root apps working fine (TiBU, RootExplorer, SQLite Editor, SGS kernel flasher, etc). Also, I replaced the stock recovery with the modified 3e recovery. Here are my specs:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I997UCKE3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build: FROYO.UCKE3
Not ready to flash new ROM yet, but would like to flash a voodoo kernel (similar to what I did with my Captivate... wanted to remove lag, so flashed Supercurio's "voodoo+stock-Froyo-I897-UCKB1-unsigned-update.zip" on the Captivate).
So, anyone know of a voodoo lag-fix kernel which plays nice with an INFUSE running Froyo 2.2.1 UCKE3?
Thanks.

Plenty of options if you spend just a little time reading the dev forum.

I have... plenty of modified ROMs... and kernels with various bells and whistles. Was looking for a kernel compatible with INFUSE 2.2.1 UCKE3 that is basically stock.. but modified to add RED CWM and ext4 partitioning. Don't want to brick phone flashing an incompatible Kernel to the stock ROM.

It's the Defuse kernel for Froyo.

Thanks for the link and appreciate your input. Does the Defuse kernel 1.5 have the BLN issue that 1.4 had (at least what I read in a few threads)? Can BLN be turned off completely?

No, and Yes respectively.

There is also the community kernel.

And Infusion-Froyo.
As I said - plenty of options. The Gingerbread kernels are reasonably clearly labeled as such.

Thanks for all the recommendations/ links. I opted to go with the CWM Community kernel... flashed it with SGS Kernel Flasher. It couldn't have gone any smoother! Took 7 minutes for voodoo to do it's thing... rebooted, and all is right in the world again. Used "CPU Spy" to confirm kernel flashed (RED CWM w/ Voodoo was also a big clue all was good). No more RFS... Thanks again for the tips.

OK... need expert help: I need to return to stock. I backed up my stock kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher right before I flashed the v8 Community Kernel. So my question: Can I simply disable voodoo lagfix, then reflash the stock kernel (using SGS Kernel Flasher) over the v8 Community Kernel? Or will I create a problem flashing the stock kernel over the v8 Community Kernel? Will this remove the RED CWM Recovery? Thx.
EDIT: Closing... posted question as a new topic

I'm on froyo as I can install the Red cwm with SGS Kernel Flasher..help me please

Flashing kernals causes boot loops

I just got the Captivate yesterday and I'm in love with it. I've been modding my Backflip for a while and I'm fairly certain I know what I'm doing. I've been trying different ROMs and I've currently settled on a rooted stock 2.2 ROM.
I want to change my kernel though, so I put my phone in download mode and flashed the Galaxian kernel via Odin, it finished and then my phone started boot looping. So I one clicked it and tried again with SGS flasher, boot loop. One click restored, tried with CWM, boot loop.
I've also tried Talon, Speedmod, Setiron and a stock kernel with all 3 methods. Nothing will flash without boot looping.

That kernel is designed for reoriented i-9000 roms

What about all of the other ones that were supposedly for 2.2 ROMs?

It needs to be a true captivate 2.2 kernel a lot are i9000's you just need to read the op for whichever kernel you are looking at thoroughly. 90% of the time the dev states if its an i9000 kernel.
The speed mod kernel here, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880 SHOULD work just make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery after install and it should boot.

You will have to read the description in the first post on the kernel you want to install, and the kernel you were installing was a gingerbread kernel

Yeah. You were trying to install a gingerbread kernel on a froyo ROM. That won't work.

Thanks guys! I think I downloaded the wrong version of SpeedMod the first time, it worked this time. Firstly I didn't know that the difference between i-9000 and i897 meant that much. Secondly, I'm not really sure how to read the kernel topics, they're confusing to say the least :S.
I'll learn sooner or later but thanks for your help everyone.

Yeah some are very confusing the biggest help Is to learn the difference in firmware revision codes. Most captivate roms/kernels begin with k. like kh3, kf1 that sort of thing and from what I remember j is for I9000 eg jv1 etc...

Best Kernel with WeaponG2X ROM ?!

I can't seem to download Faux kernal nor Dragon, there files are missing? Is there any other kernels best stable with Weapon ROM?

Isn't Weapon a modified Stock ROM (2.3.3)?? You're only gonna be able to use Kernels for the stock ROMS. Faux is the only one I know of that has a kernel series for the Stock ROMS. Check out the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102720

I've always used faux with stock ROMs.
I may be wrong, but I thought Trinity was for CM7 ROMs. I used it with the CM7 Nightly Build 135.1, worked great. But as for stock, I've always used the 2 faux kernels I've uploaded.
This is the latest faux GB kernel:
P999-GB-Kernel-014b2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-014b2-ext4
If you have any issues, which I haven't had any thus far and been on my current setup for almost two weeks, you can try this older version:
P999-GB-Kernel-013_r2-ext4.zip
Linky: http://www.freefilehosting.net/p999-gb-kernel-013r2-ext4
I don't know your experience level with this stuff. You don't have to re-install the ROM when changing kernels. Just make sure you wipe/format "cache" and "dalvik cache". Let it boot up and don't do anything for ten minutes. Than reboot again and your good to go. This is how I have done it and I've rarely encountered any issues.
Let me know if this helps and I'll be around doing homework for my IT class, so feel free to post back or PM me directly.

Thanks! I'm going to try it right now. Have you used any other stock ROMs? If you did, which one would you prefer?

I've used dang near every single ROM available for our G2x.
Stock? It's a coin toss between BuROM and kwes's Rooted Stock. Personally I use BuROM as it is based off of kwes's ROM but a coulpe tweaks. The 2 I can remember off hand is the VM Heap Size is increased to 64MB and the SD read ahead size increased from 128KB to 2048KB. I think BuROM is just a hair faster than kwes's ROM.

kwes's Rooted Stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1602798
Both are 2.3.4.
I did use weapon, and I liked it. Can't remember why, but I switched back to 2.3.4 because there was something missing from Weapon's 2.3.3
What baseband are you on?

Does it say March 2011 in it? We need to make sure you have the right baseband for the ROM your using or if we need to apply the new_baseband.zip patch to it.
Wifi not working? Hmmm...try GETRil from the playstore. But you need to make sure the baseband issue is correct first.

Well I restore my system so i'm good now, I'm trying faux older version. So do you want me to tell you my whole baseband?

I tried the older version and everything works for.

If you have no clicks in your call audio when not using wifi calling, your good.
So what rom n kernel did you go with? My setup is in my signature.

[Q] Gingerbread to ICS

Quick question. I bought this phone recently and it came with valhalla final pre-installed on it. I wanna flash an ICS based rom and I was just wondering if I can flash it coming from valhalla final or do I have to go back to stock in order to flash an ICS rom. I'm only asking since I read that some roms are BML and MTD and I'm a bit confused

You need to flash AntonX's Basic with a Twist kernel or bhundven's Blastoff kernel to flash ICS. Valhalla Final's version of CWM with not flash ICS properly.

Flash one of those kernels and follow the directions in the OP of the ROM you want.
