I had flash multiple roms on the sgs4g and eventually flashed back to kg4 stock after having random shut offs and other issues with those roms and now consistent reboots right after it turns on. I wiped caches fixed permissions All I can do is get her into download mode and cwm voodoo red screen. At one point during the reboot it went on to AT&T network
The kg4 i have is a stock leaked version with ext4 installed on it. After a day of flashing the phone usually goes into a reboot loop. Has anyone experiences these issues before? Could my motherboard be fubar?
I wonder if your bootloaders aren't hosed? If you can get into CWM, I'd suggest turning off voodoo, get it into download mode, and ODIN chadster214's KG4:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
I've found that ROM to be a good starting point for GB ROMs. Let me know how it goes.
Thats actually the kg4 rom I am on and have always used for bootloaders. I factory restored it in cwm and it stays on chad's kg4 the rebooting has stopped for now. As for voodoo linda cant convert due to sd card even though shes done it before and its already partitioned to do so.I think the kg4 bootloaders are fine since they lasted this long until now. Can launchers and voodoo cause this rebooting and shut off problems? I'm going to odin it to chadster's again so it can erase everything.Ill give it a day before problems occur again and report back. Thanks for the response.
Firmware: 2.3.4
Baseband:t959vuvkg4
kernel 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkg4-CL385158
Build GBvuvkg4
1.So I flashed chadsters kg4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1392615 with odin.
2.Then I successfully rooted it following the instructions from the link. Phone works fine no reboots after about 8 hours of use. (I fresh reinstalled apps from market no Titanium restore)
3.Next I flash the kernel stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 which gives me red CWM with voodoo ext4 lagfix. After flashing that kernel I start experiencing the random shut off when screens locked, and rebooting issue. Also I get the "can't access the system/tmb/csc error" everytime when flashing in cwm and reg recovery, and im wondering if thats normal.
So I guess its the voodoo kernel thats causing the issues for my phone. Before I started flashing other roms it was fine, now its acting up
Sounds like lagfix is enabled but is causing you troubles. Get into cwm and disable ext4 lagfix, that should keep your phone from reboots.

I no longer have voodoo installed since I i flashed Kg4 again and left it rooted. The rebooting has stopped. Now the issue is the phone shuts of silently on occasions when the Screen is locked and turned off in m. Then I have to hold on power to to turn it on again. Are there any other recommended stable roms?

KI3 seems to be the "newest" and most stable leak. I personally find the KJ1/3 leaks to be very unstable.
Do you use a task killer? If you do, remove that and never touch anything like it again. That definitely causes random reboots.

I believe you have to disable voodoo before flashing, else you may be stuck with some parts of the file system in ext4. I'm wanting to say I had problems after going from a voodoo kernel to a new ROM when I forgot to disable. I ended up flashing chadster's KG4 ROM, drhonk's KG4 kernel, going into recovery, disabling voodoo on everything, then re-flashing to a non-voodoo ROM/kernel.

I have advanced task killer but I don't use it (probably running in background). The only KI3 i can find on this forum is valhallas KI3 and that comes packaged with voodoo. As of right now I'm following stephens tip on flashing dr honks voodoo back and disabling system lag fix and voodoo lagfix, then reflashing to non voodoo rom.
I will report back on results and thanks a lot for the help guys I really appreciate it.

Stock KI3 is out there. I'm running KJ3 which is the latest. It seems your mileage may vary as others find the KI series more stable. Stock KI3 is here:

Good luck
Alright thanks Ill try the ki3. I just did the recooked gb and put froyo back on and i still have the random shut offs while its in sleep mode. I noticed the more I use it or the phone is active it doesn't shut off. Chances increase when phone is put away or not in use.Its like a chuck norris powersave mode, turns itself off when im not using it.
When phone is charging it doesn't happen. Its very hard to duplicate the issue, and my heart races every time i click the power/wake button. Ill do some more research if not ill deal with it. Thanks again.

Sorry, I just lol'd when I read "Chuck Norris powersave mode", LOL! :x
Anyways, I would suggest you to remove your task killer anyways. In the worst case scenario, it might actually be faulty hardware. :/
I've had absolutely no luck upgrading from KD1 to offiical GB.
I started off with the official KD1 (from Kies) that I have been running for months.
The only mods are root and CWM.Kies downloads the GB update (taking several minutes) then immediately comes up with the screen saying my phone could not be updated. It leaves the phone in download mode.
If I reboot I'm back to where I was.
Taking a suggestion in another thread, I cleared data and cache, and tried again.
Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd another KD1 on top of my original. Same result.
Taking another suggestion, I Odin'd a KC1 on top hoping that Kies would upgrade me to official KD1 or GB. However, Kies took one look and said there was no upgrade.
I've Odin'd back to KD1, so after a lot of work I'm back to where I started.
Any ideas?

First you would need gingerbread bootloaders if you have them then flash away, if not you will need to odin kg4 for the bootloaders then drhonks kernel for root then flash kj6 from cwm.

I probably will, but I also would like to find out why I can't Kies the stock GB Rom. Obviously Kies doesn't like something it sees on the phone.
There is another issue I'm fighting at the same time. Until now I didn't have a data plan and just used wifi for data. I just got a data plan and haven't been able to get the phone to use it (just voice/text). I want to put the phone into a completely stock condition to try and eliminate variables, and possibly get T-mobile to help. I also feel that what ever Kies doesn't like might be a factor with the cell data issue.
Kies is potentially bad news for your phone if you've been on a custom ROM. If it doesn't work smoothly on the first try don't try and force it. What inevitably happens is that in a sudden rush to get it to work you start flashing one ROM after another (something you wouldn't normally do) and end up issues. There have been a bunch of posts about losing recovery and download modes as people start trying to flash back to froyo from GB. A buddy of mine just jacked his phone up so bad doing this...no recovery, no download, couldn't get it to adb boot on his Linux box. I finally got it into download mode with an adb/odin circus trick, hail Mary, and odined ravers hawk.zip to clean everything up. There is no way i want to go through that again, and there is no real logic in the way we fixed it, but it all started with a bad flash from kies. To any one reading this, USE THE CWM FLASHABLE THAT RAVER MADE IN THE DEV FORUM, take advantage of their knowledge and hard work and save yourself (and your sgs4g) some heartache.

I would use ODIN to reinstall Dr Honks KJ1. it will give you CWM and You should be OK. It might have just been a fluke on install the first time
Still no wifi "f.m.l"!!!
Everything works accept wifi reinstalled kj1 kernel frs, wiped down phone completley even used odin again to reinstall 2.3.6 official from ravers post and nothing ive done everything 2 or 3 times the sameway even tried different usb slot i used odin 1.85 i just dont get it anyone else got this problem
As ignorant as this sounds, I had the same problem once. I rebooted my wireless router & it started working again.

I decided to dump the stock FP1 kernel for everyone who has been looking for an way to get it without having to go back to stock. It's Odin only right now, but I'll try to put together a CWM in the next day or two when I get time.
Stock FP1 kernel Odin: http://www.mediafire.com/?ns38atiw1d7er5x
EDIT: We now have a CWM version thanks to dwitherell. See his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24459684&postcount=8
Make sure you're at rfs before flashing either of these kernels, otherwise, you'll hang at boot.
DISCLAIMER: As usual, I'm not responsible if this breaks your phone, burns down your house, or causes your dog to run away. I've tested it and it works for me.
Big thanks go to imnuts, both as an inspiration and for the many examples that I've studied and followed to get enough confidence to do this.
One more note. When I was testing this, installing PBJ over FP1 killed my boot animation and flashing the FP1 kernel didn't bring it back. If this happens to you, reflash your ROM and it should fix it.
sweet, this is what we need. It's a pain to go back to full image. Thanks bro.
This kernel can be flashed if you never took the OTA, still custom ROM, custom kernel, and would like to flash eclipse 2.0?

Awesome! Thanks man. Nice to have to try out the kernel without having to deal with the rest of stock. Now I can see if the radios really are new and improved!
I get stuck on SAMSUNG screen after flashing this on top of Eclipse 2.0. I am going to try backing out and trying again.

Ironically I only put together a cwm zip a while back and not an ODIN...

No, I reverted to stock and then moved to Tweakstock to test that out. I will go back to Eclipse 2.0 and try this again later today.

It's not a good idea to run FP1 kernel on any EP4 rom. It meant to be use with FP1 base rom only.

Just what is the FP1 base rom? I thought the only way to get to the FP1 was from the base rom EP4.
Example, if I am currently running FP1 Eclipse, when I flash this, will I end up back at stock FP1.

Base rom, meaning a rom using FP1 as the base. Flashing this over Eclipse 2.0 will work fine, and should get your wifi back if you're having wifi issues.
I just had the weirdest thing. first, I am running eclipse 2.0 with PNJ. I tried to CWM the stock FP1 kernel after disabling voodoo Lagfix. My system booted up, but was so slow it was unusable. I cleared my caches before the flash and backed up (thankfully) any idea what went wrong. Of ya I also have tried reflashing ROM and kernel a couple times to see if it'll work. Any ideas what I'm missing here, I know it's something simple.

Were you using Voltage Control or SetCPU? I know when I first flashed the kernel it defaulted to Power Save for the Governor which was making it run pretty slow.
Yea I had voltage control, but it restored it to default before flashing. I think I'll just have to go back to stock, take update then root and put eclipse back on. If I decide I really want my wifi working again.
Thanks for the a suggestions.

Just a thought but did you install the fp1 modem? (Radio).. eclipse does not come with it.....

I was running a stock backup, when I decided to try installing Tweaked 2.0 (via ODIN). That didn't work (I watched the boot animation for a long time, and I don't think it ever got up and running; maybe just rebooted over and over).
Anyway, since Tweaked 2.0 didn't work, I installed TweakStock 1.4 via ODIN, which I have done before and had success with. This also didn't work.
And yes, I wiped data, cache, and Dalvik cache when I installed these ROMs.
So, I installed Clockwork Recovery, and had it restore an update, which I have had zero problems with in the past. This time, the restore completed, but when I restarted and got into the OS, *everything* force closed immediately -- even stuff that couldn't possibly be running. After dealing with many freezes while attempting to dismiss this dialog, the radio would lose and regain connection, and I received no updates (e.g. new texts, emails), and the OS eventually became unusable.
What can I possibly do? I have tried clearing data, cache, Dalvik cache, and flashing with stock roms and modified roms, but nothing works: everything results in the situation above.
I know this seems like a duplicate thread, but none of the other threads I found addressed my specific issue, and none of the fixes worked.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
U r flash dancing between roms where one is fp1 n the other is ep4. If u flashed tweaked2.0 on a ep4 kernel its not gna work.
Cwm recovery never works so thts not a surprise.
My suggestion would be to go the post called "how to fix ur phone" flash back to stock using the .pit file. From there boot up ur phone, do the ota update to fp1. Then odin cwm n flash tweaked 2.0

I've installed imnuts' EP4 (Android 2.3) ROM, along with the PIT file, and still had these issues. I can try it again when I get home, but I'm not optimistic.
Do I need to install a kernel or modem or something independent of these ROM flashes?
Well unless the rom says it has a kernel included, it doest. Im thinkin u may have flashed a fp1 rom on an ep4 kernel or vice versa. The flashing back to stock n using the pit file should at least get u runnin on stock ep4 again. After that, if u want to stay ep4 u have to flash tweaked 1.5, or update ur kernel to stock fp1 or the pjb fp1 kernel in which case u can flash tweaked 2.0

I've tried flashing with stock ROMs and kernels (EP4 at the last attempt, from imnuts.org), and absolutely nothing works. Assuming I get the phone to boot all the way up, once the Setup Wizard is finally displayed, I start getting tons of seemingly random Force Stop messages -- including for the Setup Wizard itself.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my phone? Is there something that these flashes are missing that needs to be fixed? Is it a hardware malfunction?
when u flashed in Odin, u put the ROM in the PDA slot, correct? I've messed up flashes a bunch of times and I just follow the "How to fix your phone" post and it always gets it up and running again. Maybe you have something on ur sd card that is screwin stuff up. Try flashing back to stock (with pit) without ur sd card in the phone.
cnoevl21, thank you for all your attention. I did try just booting without the SD card in now, just to see what would happen. That didn't change anything. I'll take it out completely, along with the SIM card, and reflash.
edit: Yes I used the PDA slot I'm very paranoid about it!
Use Samsung PST to flash an OTA stock (stock, not rooted or debloated or anything) and repartition with the PIT. If it keeps happening keep trying-eventually it goes away. I've had this problem several times.

Ok I've been trying to figure this out for about 4 hours now . This morning i was running CM7 R10 no problems at all (I've been running it since it came out) and i did a backup because i wanted to Odin KJ6 and try a new rom. It backed up fine and i Odined the official KJ6 rom with the sms KJ6 v2 kernel. Thats where my problem started. It kept booting up to the Team acid splash and it would say converting data partition, then a few seconds later it would say not enough space. I tried formating data and it said it couldn't mount. Odd. Then i odined another rom. No dice. Now my phone just keeps looping. Can anyone help me at all? I have no insurance and i don't have a backup phone :/
Try the KJ6 Heimdall One-Click to see if it will work for you. You can use the guide in the second link of my signature if it is new to you. Let us know if it works.
Delete all the voodoo files from your sdcard then I would personally use one of bhundven's one-clicks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498 to go back to stock and then one the one-click for Antonx's kernel. works for me when I want to go back to bml
