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. :/

no Ext4 conversion...
Check the voodoo folder on your SD card. See if there is a disable_lagfix folder inside of it. If so delete and reboot. If not then on to the next possibility.

OK.. still having issues... once i install ee19 pnp1 i have issues. it allows me to set up gmail ect.. but once i reboot it causes FC on google frame work.. clearing the info on it doesnt fix it. also once i reboot all of the settings i input previously are undone. ok as far as the kernel.. it still doesnt format to ext4.. ive checked with voodoo app to confirm this. my steps were as follows..
I fresh odin EE19.. then odin cwm.. i reboot into cwm.. then flash the cwm version you linked me... then i reboot into cwm and flash pnp1.. then flash otb kernel you linked me. reboot into phone. begin initial set up... gmail ect... i reboot into cwm and enable lagfix.. no response.. also upon rebooting, all my settings are reset from previous boot.
hmmm never had such a difficult time before.. i was on EE10 pnp previously.. never had issues besides my fone not getting phone calls on occasion lol...
i tried to be clear as possible on my steps.. any ideas?
I have had the issue where all my settings and such was undone on reboot before. Don't know what was causing it and it eventually fixed itself. But never had a issue with Voodoo not converting. That is wild. Honestly I don't know at this point. Its like its there but not at the same time. Have you been on anything other than touchwiz based ROMs. MIUI, CM7, or AOSP of any sort? That is the only thing I can think of. I know its the holiday weekend but some of the actual devs should be in and out through out the next few days. They may have some insight as to what's going on. Another option would be to jump on the mesmerize IRC channel and see what they say.
One last thing. Do you have voltage control installed? If so. When you open it does it say incompatible kernel or does it allow you to adjust settings and such?

Hey, I'm having an issue. I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122657 to flash my charge with PBJ Kernal (voodoo) and GummyCharged 1.8.5. Like it but I keep receiving notices saying that the android core closed unexpectedly, with several programs receiving the same errors. I decided I want to go back to the stock rom (just for now) but with voodoo still enabled. I plan to follow this guide to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121201.
My problem is that i seem to be unable to disable voodoo in CWM whenever I try. After each try, I never hear the voice and my quadrant score is still around 1600.
How do I proceed, with my end goal being stock with voodoo enabled?
If CWM recovery is not working for you, try the Voodoo Control App by supercurio. There's a free or paid version.
Once you open the app scroll down to voodoo lagfix and you should see if it's active, then go in to lagfix preferences and uncheck everything and it should deactivate it on next boot.
Thanks
Good to know. I will keep that in mind when I get back to tinkering with the phone. I ended up following a link to another forum where a guide to get back to stock exist. I wiped everything from my phone that I could and went back. I was worried about not being able to disable voodoo, but it seems to have worked just fine. I actually prefer many of touchwiz (crazy, I know) so I decided to go that route. Everything seems to be working fine now, no errors every 5 mins and my quadrant score is back to the 900s . I guess what I want now is to just get voodoo and root on this rom, any recommended posts I should read?
So you basically want a rooted stock rom with voodoo. Yes?
That's exactly what I want.

Ok well this past Saturday I spent atleast 7 hours flasing this phone and trying different combinations of kg4 leak and kg6 leak. I would just like to share some results ive had with mixing the two.
First flash in Odin:
I used the entire kg4 leak except I swapped the pda kg4 file for the kg6 leak. That resulted in being stuck in 3e recovery and trying to reboot brought alot of cache and data errors.
Second flash with Odin:
Flashed kg4 leak with all files. rooted using Odin with fugumod. In the end it said I was rooted but I never found the su binary. Flased drhonks kernel ontop of that and still no su binary but root check says im rooted. Also tried to get Linda to talk on this try but didnt hear a thing. Had sdcard unavailable error aswell. Dissappearing apps on reboot.
Third flash in cwm:
So I flashed kg6 deodexed and before rebooting I flased drhonks modded kg4 cwm kernel, checked mounts reboot. Installed busybox 1.19 and tried to convert to ext4 and got sdcard full issue. Back to Odin
Fourth flash in Odin:
Kg6 leak and drhonks kernel. Same errors as before with Linda and the sdcard issue.
Ok lots more flashes but ill gat to the one that got me stable.
Final flash with Odin:
Flashed kg4 leak let it bootup and didnt setup anything and immediately turned it back off. Odined kg6 leak with csc file from kg4, let it boot and again did nothing but tirn it back off and back into down load mode. Flashed fugumod for root let it boot up and off again and then flashed drhonks kernel. Booted up and finally did the setup, went to the market amd searched for superuser, there was an update so I got it along with voodoo control app. Made sure voodoo lagfix was disabled in app. Booted into cwm turned lagfix on. Linda did her thing in no time flat. It booted up and all my apps were still there(root check; titanium backup;ect) all seems great. Still cant fiNed the su binary but to hell with it this thing is smooth battery life is great and I swear there been sound improvment in the rear speaker.
So all in all im satified with my gingerbread experience. Had a lot of fun flashing and trying different things some work half ass and some not at all. So tell us how has it been for you?

Got it done right the first time. No issues here. No hanging boot or anything. Went very smooth and would never go back to froyo. I did run into the problem of the voodoo lagfix. I used a spare one gig sd card from my G1 and it converted fine. Its like everyone says, its not working because your sd card had an ext4 partition from froyo builds.

This has been a very trying experience in getting GB working properly, but not that I have KG6 ICBINB working with the new S99partition mounts pushed, I am loving my phone again. Pulling 2400 Quad without OC. Formatting the SD card and eliminating an old ext4 partition from froyo was really all that I needed to do.
That said, there are some minor issues that still haven't been resolved. I am also seeing very week wifi signal. KD1 was very strong, but now unless I am in the room with the wireless it's almost doesn't even register.
The other issue I had was the phone would go into reboot madness if I had wifi on. I think it was the wifi calling feature causing the mayhem. The only way I was able to use wifi without it constantly rebooting was to Freeze wifi calling in TB. As soon as I froze wifi calling it worked flawlessly with wifi enabled or disbled. If anyone has a fix for the wifi issue I would greatly appreciate it.

This was the first time I installed a custom ROM. I jumped into this a few minutes after the ICBINB ROM was posted so there were no clear instructions and I didn't take the time to read enough. I skipped steps 2-4. So I learned how to use ODIN and how to get into download mode by taking out the battery and holding the volume buttons.
Everything works great no reboots, WIFI calling works great and my Quadrant scores are high (2400+).
My only problem is a weak WIFI signal. I don't get a WIFI signal in a room where I used to get a signal.
I have spent the past few days flashing and experimenting and Dsext can confirm through the PMs we shared that I've had quite a few issues and I have just about everything down to a science. While running the ACID KG4 with ext4 support everything worked great except wi-fi calling. If you've read the thread on here and rw, you can tell this has been a huge issue for me and I hope I can clear this up for all.
When installing busy box, I tried using this JRummy's BusyBox Installer. Busy Box would never install properly (i.e. when you turn Voodoo on, you get a kind of bootloop that allows you to enter android then all of a sudden plays the startup over again and continues to do so.) When using Stericson's Busy Box, everything works flawlessly. I have not once had to format my SD card in any way shape or form.
As far as the wifi calling issue. I have finally settled into ICBINB GB Rom. I had issues getting it to work and here is my solution and explanation. When you flash this ROM, you'll get everything working. When you start to enable your tweaks, you'll find in the restarts your issues will come. I have found that if you leave your wifi turned on and reboot your phone, your phone will no longer connect to the T-Mobile network in any way (i.e. WiFi Calling nor through celluar network). If you reboot your phone WITHOUT wifi turned on everything works great. I believe the kink lies inside the wifi telling the phone that since it is connected to wifi, it doesn't need the data connection so therefore blocks that out. I have informed Dsext of this issue and he is checking it out and will hopefully have it fixed in the next week. Hopefully that helps anyone with those issues.
As for performance, well I'll let my screenshot cover that.

Yeah, truth be told I'm not on the tweaks and everything is running great. Not sure all the tweaks are compatible with GB and there might be some issues there.
Stock Deodexed KG4 has been running pretty smoothly for me so far.
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?

Stupid question,
Can I flash Raver's ROM directly from Bionix Frost or do I need to go back to a KD1 ROM?

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.

Thanks! This Odin rom worked for me. The earlier suggested recovery flash rom just got me into a booting loop.

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.

Tried resetting router and still no luck I give up
Is there security on the router? If so, what happens if you take it off (temporarily)?

Hey folks,
Thanks for all your help and info on here (my first post). My SR has been freezing / rebooting unpredictably for over a week now despite all my efforts. Here's what I've done, then what I've tried to do to fix it! If you have any ideas on what's wrong I would love your help:
From rogers stock originally:
- rooted
- cwm
- flashed many different roms: cm7.2, cyanotouchwiz, alien, skyICS, and likely some others
- flashed a few 727 compatible radios: kj2, and now ucla2
and obv installed many different launchers, lba privacy, setCPU, use llama profiles regularly...
What i've done to fix it?
- Now running as stock as I can make it, formatted everything (internal usb included), used odin to restore recovery and phone back to factory. I haven't even downloaded the apps I prefer, just to make sure it isn't some rogue app causing all the hassle.
STILL, without obvious pattern, randomly freezes and reboots, or doesn't wake when sleeping (and I have to force a reboot). This happens at least a few times every day. At peak it was at least every hour, but since the cleanup, it has calmed down to only a few times a day...
It's driving me crazy!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
flash cwm, flash darkside, then flssh darkside again. Odin back stock. That should fix it
Seems good so far! Thanks for the advice, let's see if she keeps workin!

^^^^^^ This... That's a lot of different ROMS you've flashed. Darkside should clean and sort things out for ya.
