Not sure if this is the correct fourm but since i didnt see a tech support forum figured this might be the most logical spot to put it.
My current device is a Samsung galaxy s 4g
Carrier T mobile
Rom
[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED
Flashed with Odin3 v1.7
The issue i had is i wanted to install the bali kernel onto the phone i downloaded the 2.1 kernel from the forums non UV version but i don't know how to flash it. I tried to find it in the forums but i don't really see any clear directions how to flash it some say clockwork don't have it don't know how to install it. Sorry for my nubness. Then i did try to flash it using odin3 which soft bricked the phone phone computer with a little line going though it. Fixed that without much issue.
Id like Try out non stock kernels and i love what u guys do with the roms but i guess im a little stumped cause i don't know how to eather a find the missing apps i needed or how to flash it properly though odin3. If im totally off the mark im sorry and please forgive me again for my noobness.

OK your probably gonna here some $h1t for not searching but I'll Hook you up. OK you need to go to the cwm final post by krylon360. That will get you cwm. Once u have cwm setup you will boot into recovery and select reinstall packages, this puts you into cwm.
Know to flash the kernel go to "install zip from sdcard" and locate the zip( Bali kernel ) and confirm installation. Let it do its thing and BAM you have Bali kernel. HOPE THIS HELPS YA.
**edit**
To navigate in recovery and cwm use the volume keys to go up and down and power to select.

hey i did look but i guess i was looking for the wrong thing cause everything i came up seemed to be for different devices. Guess im a little more stumped cause the first file i downloaded off the fourm post i found seemed to be a html file? IF that is correct then ok ill go from there and i assume once i stick the zip file on the root of the sd card reboot to recovery mode and install it? This is what i was more confused about then anything.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
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?

Is it ok to use ROM Manager to install these roms?
So I had GB bootloaders and 2.3.4 installed on it. I was browsing through the forum and really liked Raver's Redux rom, but totally blacked out i have to change bootloaders back to Froyo ( still no idea how to ). So my phone got into a bootloop. The problem is, i tried to flash the phone back to GB rom, and was doing it using ODIN, and brother plucked the usb cable off during the flashing process. Now everytime i try to turn it on, it has a yellow triangle that says" Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. PLease select recovery mode in KIes and try again. " Tried Kies, no use. The same screen appears when i try to get into a download mode, tried usb jig . same screen. WHat should i do from here? i am out of ideas.
OK, i flashed Stock GB rom with Odin, even the dwld mode didn't appear on phone screen, but ODIN read it and i got a connection in with it. Now its on a bootloop again. It goes into the recovery menu (3e). Says E:Failed to mount /data (INvalid Argument). What should i do from here??? THanks
NVM , I got it working now But i still want that Redux rom My question is : how do i get back to Froyo Bootloaders? A specific instruction would be really helpful, what to tick and not on ODIN , etc... Thanks
Flash kd1 or Odin ravers kc1 with all 4 files. You'll have the froyo bootloaders. There at guides out there if you search. I'm in my phone, so I can't link then. Sorry.if you have trouble, let me know and I'll walk you through it

Step one, search for the gb starter pack, fbis251 was the op in that thread. follow it to the t.
Then, use odin to flash bhundvens kj6 kernel with voodoo and cwm
Now read around and learn to flash via cwm.
Lastly Install valhalla final either regular or black version (i like black imo)

Hi Jules,
In order to use voodoo lagfix, you'll need to install one of the kernels that have that ability. I personally suggest using bhndven's
[KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [12/19/2011]. Just follow the install instructions on his page. It's a great kernel, has the latest CWM (which fixes an issue with GB ROMs not being able to mount/unmount the /system partiton), root, and voodoo lagfix in it.
Once you've installed it, reboot into CWM recovery (either use an app like quick boot, or you have to power down the phone, hold down the volume up, volume down, & power keys, then release the power key after the "Galaxy S" screen gets a bit brighter), go to the voodoo menu, and ensure "voodoo lagfix" is enabled and "/system lagfix" is enabled.
As for the debloater (check my signature for the link), literally, go read FB's page about it. It takes you to a site, you select what you want to remove, it creates a .zip file you download, put it on your sdcard, then flash it from within CWM.
Tnx dude.
Is there a post in how to install a stable cwm?

The link for bhundven's kernel installs CWM as part of the kernel. If you follow the instructions on his page you'll be fine. He writes good stuff
The only other way I know to install it on Gingerbread is to install one of drhonk's kernels in the dev section. Using the one I mentioned is easier & is the current version of CWM.
Tnx alot dude...
