How to flash CWM on GB Rom? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I just flashed the phone with Chadster rom via Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413
Then, how do I flash the CWM?

The easiest way is to grab drhonk's KG4 kernel.that has CWM, root, and voodoo. It's in the dev section.

But to flash we need to use Odin (which is easy), how to disable Voodo???
Sorry, Im a newbie to SGS 4G..

Under cwm go to disable lagfix and disable voodoo do NOT touch the debug..reboot I'm assuming u need to download busybox through market once that's done go back to cwm and enable lagfix and voodoo. Btw if u do not have an easy way to cwm on phone also get quick boot while you're in market. Saves alot of pain that way.

Drhonk's kernel should've been flashed by putting it into the PDA section in ODIN. Once that was done, it should've:
* Rooted the phone
* Installed CWM
* Installed Voodoo
When you boot the phone into recovery mode, it should come up on a black screen with red text titled "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery v3.0.2.8x". The 9th option down from the top should be "voodoo". Use the volume up/volume down keys to move up and down the menu, then press the power button to select voodoo. From there you have the options to enable or disable. By default, though, I believe it's disabled.

Super detailed explanation! Thanks man! will try it!

You should be able to flash the kernel with voodoo on. Just make sure it is on after you flash the new kernel

Dumb question for ya

Can someone tell me what cwm stands for. I would like to install the updated infused rom over my 1.5 version but for what I've read they said not to use rom manager but to do it in cwm

Clockwork mod. They're the devs of rom manager.
So your statement makes no sense to not use ROM Manager but to use CWM...

Rom manager uses green cwm more for non voodoo Roms. Red cwm is more geared toward voodoo enabled roms

If you want to know how to get into red cwm, simply hold the power button and press on "Recovery" or manually do it by fully powering down ur phone. And then hold both volume buttons down and hold the power button. When the samsung logo appears, let go of the power button and itll boot into red cwm.

Red cwm
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
CWM installed via ROM Manager is the same as any other CWM for our phone. CWM means ClockWorkMod Recovery.
However, for whatever reason, when accessing CWM by using "Recovery" from the poweroff menu (only on custom ROMs, not stock to my knowledge) and via the trick mentioned above (Although I think it's either VolUp or VolDown only when powering up - both leads you to bootloader mode, aka Odin downloader mode), the text of CWM is red. AKA "red CWM".
When you enter Recovery via ROM Manager, you get Green CWM (all text is green) - Don't know what the difference is or why there is one.
Rule of thumb. If you are on stock, you may flash any rom from Green cwm and via rom manager.
If you are on any Voodoo enabled rom with lagfix (which all of these custom roms are), DO NOT EVER use Rom manager to flash anything. It flashes from green cwm, and you will brick.
Manually copy the ROM to your SD card and boot into red CWM, and flash from there.

Well not that I really know what I'm doing but, I just open rom manager and down load the rom and follow the prompts. I flashed 3 infused roms this way. currently on 1.5.2 never really payed attention to the color of the text. Am I doing it wrong? Lol

if this hasnt been properly cleared up clockworkmod developed cloclworkmod recovery and rom manager. cwm recovery can be used independant of rom manager. rom manager is just an app to access the features of cwm recovery when the phone is booted. but using any of those features will cause the phone to reboot into cwm recovery to complete the action. rom manager also has an interface to download roms and make unique names for your backups.
there are many versions of cwm recovery. some use edify scripting, some use amend scripting. there the infuse uses the same versions of cwm recovery as the i9000. but there is also red cwm recovery which is modded with controls for voodoo lagfix and is integrated into voodoo enabled kernels. if you have a voodoo kenrel installed you have red cwm and should be able to get to it from rom manager, but it may try to launch the update.zip instead.
rom manager is not needed, it is totally optional. having rom manager doesnt automatically give you green cwm recovery. you still need to flash it. (unless you have a voodoo kernel)

So... my kernel flash failed, and I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message... Am I screwed? or should I still be able to enter download mode?
EDIT: Scratch that, it took a bit, but my phone appeared in Odin again. No worries
DOUBLE EDIT: This just flashes in the 'PDA' field right? I'm not doing anything wrong?
AThis sounds like good news, if only i understood what most of the stuff meant. Can someone give me accurate, precise directions on flashing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Current info: I'm on balil 3.3UV kernel, ICBINB, and kf2 modem. Thanks for all the help awesome community! Thanks to drhonk for making this kernel too!

This is a modded stock kernel from the latest gingerbread leak, UVKG4. I didn't change anything to the kernel, it's pure stock but did added few mods to it. In theory .. this kernel should work with any GB leak for SGS4G as long as you're still on Froyo bootloader or KG4 bootloader, otherwise you won't be able to get to recovery.

- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)

Are you talking about cwm(orange or red) or 3e recovery(blue & yellow). If your trying to get to recovery with cwm you need to Odin the modded kg4 kernel(yes it works with kh1). Until you do that then you will only get 3e recovery.
To get to recovery hold volume up and down and power till the first splash screen appears then release. Hope this helps you
***Edit***: you need to flash drhonks kernel. Sounds like somthing didnt take.

cwm - orange
and that's the thing, when i hold volume up & down with power key, it goes to the splash screen then it goes no where. if i let it go it stays in the first splash screen, if i keep holding it, it loops. the only way to get the phone started is to touch the home key after that first splash screen
odin.. uhoh
Yea I would suggest odining the kg4 leak. It sound like you bootloaders are messed up. Odin will pick it up right?

Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
extract the far, in there you will find some tars. The first one which is 290+ mbs, is the one that you put in the "PDA" section. The one that has "CSC" somewhere within the title is put in the CSC section, the one with "Phone" is put in it's corresponding section. the .pit file is put in the top left pit section. Make sure you have the samsung drivers. If you don't, you are A, either nothing is going to happen, or B, you will end up with a 600 dollar brick.
So flash up, Then flash the GB voodoo kernel.tar in the PDA section.
Then go to cwm, flash what you want to flash make sure it has the GB voodoo kernel in it as well, then go to the voodoo section of recovery, disable everything, then reboot. You will have recovery on GB

Problem when Rooting! Not Noob Problem! Tried Everything!

Hey Guys, I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I've been trying to root and I've ran into so many problems. I use SuperOneClick. It usually doesn't work or just freezes. Before you call me a noob. Yes I have the Drivers. Yes I've tried different versions of Drivers. Yes I used different versions of SuperOneClick including Latest and Older that have been said to work. Yes I used different exploits for both versions in SuperOneClick. Yes I've ran as Administrator as well. I have Windows 7 32 Bit. I just don't know what's wrong!

Here's the translation:
1) flash the kernel in PDA
2) let it boot up; shut down; go into CWM with volume up, volume down, and power
3) once in CWM, Voodoo > turn ext4 off
4) reboot
5) install busybox by Stericson in the market
6) go back to CWM with the same method as before
7) enable Voodoo
8) reboot your ROM and hear Linda convert your file system to ext4. She should say "convert data partition", "convert system partition", and end with "Voodoo lagfix is now activated".
To double check if Voodoo is activated, download the Voodoo app and check to see if ext4 is on /cache, /data, and /system.
Any GB ROM right now could pretty much be flashed over that without a problem.
I hope I helped!

Is there instruction on updating the kernels with Odin. Do I down load both file in the thread. Yes I am a noob to all this, I just upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.5.
you can just flash the kernel with cwm.
if you really want to use odin, then pda. and that is fine

When doing a restore...

I get an error when doing a restore in cwm. It says "failed to unmount system" any thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Check mounts maybe?
I have the exact same problem using CWM. Even attempting to mess with the /system mount from the mounts menu gives the same error.
I think I read about that problem elsewhere & it was said it was a problem with CWM & GB. I'm not 100%, though.
Try this.
Remove the voodoo directory from your sdcard and reboot to convert back to rfs. Boot all the way into Android.
Reboot to recovery and do a full backup (if you dont already have one). Dont reboot yet!
Install the rfs_format.zip from drhonks Bali 3.3 thread (that you saved to your sdcard before doing this). Dont reboot yet!
Recover from the backup you just made. Dont reboot yet.
Enable lagfix and /system lagfix
Now Reboot.
This will cleanly format your partitions to make sure ext4 lagfix is enabled correctly, without loosing your current install.

I still don't see how that makes sense. My kj6 kernel, drhonk's kernels (for gb, with cmw+voodoo) can both mount /system...
I don't see what flashing bali will do differently then current kernel.
If there is some specific init code, or kernel changes that make bali fix mounting /system in these kinds of cases (where maybe the system partition is corrupted, or continues to fail it's own internal filesystem checks... that we don't see because we don't have source for fsr or rfs...) ...would be super helpful.
This is the only way to do a full restore.there is a bug with the cwm GB voodoo kernel. This is the work around. Search the forums, this had been explained many times.

I agree, on GB roms I always flash the Bali 3.3 kernel to do a full restore then flash back to a GB kernel before rebooting.
Only hitch is i dont have acces to a pc for odin atm...

Interesting. Yea, will search!
Lets see if we can fix this problem? Eh?
If we can, I'll wrap it into v0.1.0 beta3.
You don't need Odin to do this, just CWM flashables of the kernels.
Hi Guys
I apologize in advance, I did not understand what Bhundven wrote.
I don't mind flashing Bali kernel, just let it work...
can someone please state (already tested) steps for a dummy (like me) to understand.
Thanks!
1. Boot to CWM recovery
2. Flash the Bali kernel
3. Reboot recovery
4. Do your full restore
5. Flash GB kernel
6. Reboot System
Hopefully that's a good enough description, as I am not very good at giving instructions.
Please ask for better directions if you don't understand these.
Not responsible for damages, but this works for me. If you reboot system with Bali kernel you will bootloop, even if this happens you should be able to do 3 button salute to get back to CWM recovery.
I havent done the button combos in eons... Allways use quick boot/power menu... What are those before i attempt this?

Power + volume up and down when Galaxy S 4g screen comes up let go of power button but continue holding the volume buttons (may take a little bit but keep holding the buttons).
