1st- We try to keep these kind of questions in the general section. The "Development" section is for actual roms, hacks, and mods. It gets kinda confusing, I know.
2nd- Rom Manager needs clockworkmod to work. As of right now It is not working for the sgs4g. As previously stated they are working on it.
3rd- There are no real "rom's" to speak of yet ported to our device. There are a couple in this section that are basically stock rom updates.
I would read ALLOT before starting to mod your phone. This will get you started, and you can read how to use odin in the vibrant section, just remember do not flash anything from that section.

Thank you and will do

Wanting to rom my sgs4g

I'm a newbie on the board here, but anyway, I hear a lot of good things about changing the rom on your phone, but my question is what rom do I use? Can I use any custom samsung galaxy rom? Is there a difference?

Use roms only in the SGS4G Dev Section. Any others will brick.

Only things on the S 4G dev section can be used. Vibrant Roms will brick your phone.
Use Krylons CWM not Rom managers

Before you do anything.... if you brick your phone (e.g - bootloop, brick screen, etc.), DO NOT freak out. You will most likely be able to fix it. Just search for Odin and use that to get your phone back to normal.

Check out the Bible. I recommend you check out the Odin flashing guide, then pick out an Odin ROM from the Bible.
Once you have root, you can install CWM and then you can start trying out some of the CWM ROMs. Fun fun. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong you can always just post back. Don't forget to make a backup of anything you don't wanna lose (right now that'd be pretty much just your SD Card)

Thanks for the great info. One more question, is the i9000 the same as the galaxy s 4g?

Yes check the bible. Definite must trys are whitehawks deodexed kd1, krylond bionix kd1, dr. honks bali kernel and in the market supercurio's voodoo conyrol. Also sextons ext4 and many more like robbitt, blkphoenix and others all have a bevel of goodies to make ur phone a kick a$$ beast! Most of all read. I suggest using google to search cuz xda always comes up, sometimes search app in forum produces mixed results. Happy tweaking ur phone!

ok so I'm carefully reading instructions on what to do, but aren't i supposed to backup my current rom (factory stock) and if so, maybe i'm not understanding correctly. How do i do this. I am looking at WhiskeyTeam and Odin's threads.

Is it ok to use ROM Manager to install these roms?

Still confused on how to flash roms

I feel like a noob. I don't understand how to get clock work mod recovery on this phone. Ive read everything and am just having trouble figuring out how to. Did anyone make a video on how to do it?

Everyone starts where you are. It's ok!
May I suggest getting acquainted with the XDA forum first.

There are items at the top of each forum called stickies. They're articles that everyone should read. Read the ones at the top of the general and development forums.

You should familiarize yourself with Odin, which will allow you to flash a ROM with CWM. Check out the Bible.

There is also Heimdall (for win, mac, and linux) which uses the same protocol as Odin (loke), but is open-source and is not leaked unsupported software.
There is a lot to read about. The point I'm making is we can type the same thing over and over in this forum, but most of what were talking about is in a sticky thread.

Lol thanks guys but I am no noob I just feel like one. I had a vibrant for 6 months and was a daily flasher. Just having trouble with clockwork on the 4g.

[Q] Install another Samsung's Gingerbread, yay or nay?

Ok, Im sorry if you've seen a million threads on this type of question.
I've done as much googling as I can and have just decided to ask this.
Has anyone tried to install a gingerbread that is said to be made for another Samsung phone on their Sidekick 4g? If so, any luck with that?
I have a 2.3.5 GB ROM downloaded, and I found an Odin for this SD4g. The only reason I havent done it is cause Im not risking with someone Else's phone.
Any insight, or even a yes or no would be helpful. Thank you.

Nay different kernals would hardbrick ur phone

Dang. Maybe I can see about some more research on this. If only it was my phone or id experiment since I got the stock firmware downloaded and ready for mishaps.
I thank you for you input.

Np I heard roms can be flashed in the android emulator??
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

Nope , it won't work and there's no 2.3.5 for the SK4G so it'll brick your phone it's just a fake but you could always try as we have the Reserrectar incase your phone brick's but that's just a option which would need work so i would say no , we would need a GB kernel which nobody has yet .

Rooting Samsung Sgh-I896 on Rogers in canada

Hey everyone
I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.
Model = SGH-I896
Frimware = 2.3.3
Kernel version = 2..35.7-i896uxkh2-cl296008
Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2
Thanks

I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it

I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.
Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.

I have tried super oneclick and it hang up at step 7 but maybe iam doing something wrong. I will try again later tonight. Thanks alot guys

Download the latest SuperOneClick Root. http://www.multiupload.nl/VGCN3ZTFM8
It should work with your captivate. I used it to root mine and I did it on GB too.

Thanks guy i just got home and tried the latest version and it worked. Only thing is that when it roots it then my menus, and when i go to call some on run every slow. I un rooted it and it put everything back to normal. And ideas?

I used heimdal method front this post, was so easy I was kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I was 2.3.3 on robbers too.
PS I highly recommend cm10, i never imagined my i896 could run this fast.

I am trying to put cwm10 on it now but iam getting confused. What yo flash to it. look like everything is for i897 or has a different modem number so i don't know if i can flash it to my phone? At this point i was hoping that some that has a i896 phone on roger would post a link to the post that they used for there phone. But i may just have to try one i finded and.hope for the best.

i896 and i897 are almost identical with minor differences. You can use i897 roms on the i896 without any issue.

I have the rogers version, I've unlocked it to use Koodo as a provider and have also installed CM10 (runs beautifully!). They are the same phone, ours just does not say at&t at the top of it (Samsung instead). I never bothered with rooting, which was a waste of time anyhow... move on from Gingerbread and you wont look back, I swear!

So I'm a total newbie here... so I don't have to root to get ICS or JB on my Captivate with Rogers? How exactly? I looked at the Heimdall method, but I still don't really understand.

See TRusselo's Guide. It is up to date.

I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.
I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.
Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.
If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.

I think I might have screwed up... I installed the unzipped ROM onto my external SD rather than the zipped one... what do I do now???

Can you get into recovery?

I am on the "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod ULFK" page. I'm wondering if there's any way I can copy the zip files to my external SD from here?

In that recovery go to mounts and storage. Then select mount usb. Then u can copy from ur pc to ur phone.
