Odin to kc1. make sure you follow the noobs guide to odin. Both are in the bible. Kc1 under odin roms and guides, well, under guides. Lol! Let the rom load for 10 min. Then Redo cwm orange from krylon's final cwm thread. And try flashing again. What rom are you trying to flash?

Thanks for the info we should make a guide because kc1 is the only Rom that fixes it, went through about 5 Rome XD I'm about to go HAM its up and running finally
XDA BABY!

Definitely I was worried that I bought a piece of junk. I tried every rom and nothing worked until kc1 thanks alot plus if someone where to get failed on odin they should slap on sedy pit file to reformat.

if you use odin and it fails just try again a couple more times if it doesnt work unplug phone and take out battery put back in and hold volume down and power for about 5 to 6 seconds u should be in download mode wether or not you see the triangle...to see if ur in download mode open odin and plug in phone, odin again and this time it should work ( ive done this numerous times and it worked)
Imei fix (p)
GUESS WHAT!!! I want everyone to try this out with a F*ed up IMEI.
I tripped over my laptop while on odin when it said please wait in the beginning.
I then plugged in my phone and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on.
Like an idiot I odined it anyways booted up and my f*ing IMEI was gone.
I odined back and forth every damn rom I could think of and nothing solved the issue. Looked into hex editor and that sh*t was too confusing.
So I went to odin again and pulled it out at the please wait in the beginning.
Pulled battery restarted computer and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on again.
I just odined it like that and VIOLA B*thes YAY! back online I was soo scared too right after fixing it.
Well this is just something to try out for everyone who ****ed up their imei
P.S. Back up your EFS PRONTO!
Ok i finally found out how to root and flash my SGS4G and after finishing everything the phone got into a rolling restart loop with a rainbow screen. Trying to use odin to return to stock but it doesn't stay on for more than 10secs so Odin cannot really do anything....
Help?
Can you get into download mode?

The rainbow screen means you flashed a gb ROM on froyo boot loaders. What ROM did you flash? Is Odin recognizing your phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Audiophile-ftw-newbuild. Odin sees my phone but the phone is restarting before i am able to do anything. I cannot get on download mode because i cannot see anything on my rainbow screen. Only a t-mobile logo at the beginning saying Galaxy S 4g
Here is the link for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214260
This is what i got for trying to work on it at 4am. I did not install the bootloaders for GB as you said. Anything that I can do to fix it?
Did you even try to get into download mode?
pull battery out then turn it on while pressing both volume buttons, and have USB connected. I don't remember exactly how to get into download mode, but try everything, then you Odin to a froyo ROM and start over.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
yes i did. I managed to make stop restarting, odin sees the phone on com3 and i am trying to flash it back to stock but Odin stacked on setupconnection for a while now (10mins)
Just to clarify a few things since i am new to this. (i flashed my vibrant with no issues many times before)
Where do i add the *.tar file in Odin? PDA-Phone-CSC?
I had that issue.. powered the phone and the computer off and on... plugged the phone in after Odin was up and went into download mode then it worked.

Im on DL mode now finally but odin does not see my phone and the drivers failed to install on my pc. restarting pc now to retry
now im on the DL screen but Odin does not pick up my phone. Anyone has a link for the drivers of SGS4G to install them manually?
ok i manage to connect everything together and i am now in the recovery mode. whats next? please help!!!!
This is what you need to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
Once you get to step 11 you can flash Audiophile again (or any other GB ROM you wish). This will install the bootloaders you need and fix the "rainbow screen".
i managed to fix it and i got black_ice. I am on the "wait 10mins" part and then have to restart one more time. We will see what happens. If it doesn't work i will follow your steps

Glad you got it working. Just make note of which roms are froyo 2.2 and which are gb 2.3. They require different boot loaders and the only way to change boot loaders is with Odin. I hate Odin because of the frustration when it freezes, stalls, or doesn't recognize the device. To each h his own though
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
ok i flashed black ice when it boots though there is an android logo on top of the t-mobile logo and the phone doesn't seemed to change anything.
I am currently running on KD1 baseband and v3.0 bali_sgs4g kernel what did i do wrong?
Did you read the black ice thread? The whole thing? That would be a good place to start. I don't recommend black ice for your first flash though, allot of people never got it to work or went through hell to make it work.

The andoid logo over the T-Mobile logo is normal from what I understand. I had that issue as well when I was on froyo.
If you are still experiencing other issues, I would suggest restoring a nandroid backup (if you have one) and starting over fresh: install a fresh kernel and ROM. If you want to stick with froyo, I suggest drhonk's Bali v3.3 kernel, and any of the froyo ROMs will be fine.
If you want to try GB, follow the link that I posted earlier to find FB's GB Starter Pack.
well i just reflashed again, im waiting for the phone to boot up..my issue was that the phone looked stock and couldn't find any themes or something to change it. i read the thread, i guess my question is the theme that i saw on the screen shots of black ice, does it come with it or not because im getting really confused with this thing lol
Axura was much easier on my vibrant....
So the only issue you have now is that the phone looks stock?
i followed your guide and i was able to flash it everything looks ok. thanks all for the help and special thanks to ultimakillz
Ok I followed this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
Ok im in CwM Voodoo Lagfix Rev v3.0.2.8x
My mounts are correct
I go to Install from zip
Then Choose zip from sd card
Then I chose my rom
I get this error E:Cant mount /SDcard/Bionix_Frost_SGS4G.zip
Installatioin aborted.
I get this with anyone I try what am I missing here?
You sort of ran into the same problem as the guy in this thread yesterday.
To sum up that thread for you:
1. Download a Gingerbread rom. Here are sone samples:
Octane
Valhalla Final
KJ6 AOSP Style
2. Use the Gingerbread Starter Pack guide to flash it without any problems.

Yes been trying that Im here it says all threads complete but phone doesnt reboot to pull battery its just on the downloading screen still
4) Load up Odin, and load the KC1 files, DON'T TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTIONS, leave them like they are even if Odin changes them!
- 4a) PIT: Sgs4g.pit
- 4b) PDA: pda.tar.md5
5) Flash and let the phone reboot. Once you see the T-Mo startup screen (the pink one), OR the CWM (red text) screen do a battery pull.
Try pulling the battery after Odin is done and see if it boots up.
Edit: oh and unplug it from the PC when its booting up

What version of ODIN are you using? Also, when usong ODIN make sure you don't mess with any of the checkboxes - just let ODIN decide what to check.
I'm not sure about the CWM error as I've not experienced that problem.

Hmm, if you've tried every usb port on your computer, try a different computer.
Maybe you got some funky usb host device on your computer that the phone just doesn't like.
I have tried I have a Windows 7 and an XP I get the same.I just picked up a new cable to see if that works and still the same.
Hi!
My i9000 don´t boot anymore. it has got a boot loop. i just can see the galaxys logo. i even can´t access the recovery mode.
after every app crashed since yesterday, i tryed to reboot. then i got a boot loop (boot animation). when i had it after i flashed ics 2 weeks ago too, i fixed it with deleting dalvik cache and flashed the rom again. so i wanted to do again. i deleted the dalvik cache. then i (stupid ) thought before i flash again i try to reboot. and now nothing is working anymore.
Any ideas? my data is gone, right?
please help.....need my phone!!! can´t even access download mode
Try taking the battery out and have power through USB. Sometimes fixes my download mode issues.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
i already tryed it. when it is connected through usb i can´t even turn it on. i only see the battery (empty, but it is not empty) and the loading circle....then after few seconds only the circle...then agin empty battery.....
even battery animation is not working...
the phone isn´t recognized by the pc at all...
now i got something new oO a blue magenta pattern on the whole screen
now its gone :-(
....
-------------------------------------------------------
maybe it´s because of i thought about buying an ipad2
My only suggestion left is let it sit without a powersource for a little. I haven't had any bricking issues so I don't have first hand experience

You'll have to odin to stock. I don't have any links or files on hand right now. Maybe someone will pop in and drop it for you. If not I'll have it up in a few hours. Grats on getting into dl mode. It's a start.

Stock is stock. I'm having trouble viewing the webpage but if it is an odin image it should work. You'd just want to find the latest stock image. Let me see if I can "try" and dig up a link. Don't hold me to it though. I'm in a building that eats mobile signal.

can´t i flash ics again with odin?
if not....how can i find out whats the right version?
So i was going thru in flashing the stock rom through odin but my dog layed on my surge protector and turned off my PC (i know...) so i ended up getting stuck on a "failed firmware connect to keis in recovery mode" or something similar. So i couldnt get into the downloading screen. Everytime i restarted it would go directly to that screen.
Well something happened and i ended up on a new sceen showing the battery logo but it wasnt moving, just frozen. I figured it was a dead battery so i let it charge overnight. I woke up and i was still on the battery screen but i tryed to get into the download screen and i could.
So now im here can i flash the stock firmware using odin?
I cant get oast rhe samunsg logo if i try to boot normally so i figured i just need all the firmware reflashed?

I am sure someone else will chime in and help you get this resolved
Fortunately, every time I've borked a flash - I have been able to get into regular download mode
Does Odin recognize the tab when you plug it into your PC ??

well i have actually figured it out:good::good::laugh::good::good:, or at least saved myself and got my tab up an running again.
thanks for the support and help.
im going to be writing a detaild version on what to do over the next 2 days, im going to write it for linux but it will easily work for windows as i needed virtual box. ( a program that can emulate another O.S)
I forgot to mention i was on Linux mint so it was a little bit "harder" so to speak, but thats because there is not alot of info, hopefully my post will save some stress.
