I was running Infused 2.2.3 for the longest time and when I always went into recovery it was red.
Well, I was switching roms and got a hiccup in the install and had to revert back to stock using odin and gtg unbrick.
Once I was back to stock froyo, I rooted, replaced the recovery.bin file with the no sig file and then went into rom manager and got cwm, rebooted, reinstalled packages, etc...
Well I have cwm, but when I get into it, its green lettering...not red.
Only reason I ask is because just about everywhere I see, they say get into red.
Any ideas on how I can get red installed?
thanks

When in cwm, choose to install zip from SD card and go all the way to bottom and select "update.zip" and if it doesn't reboot, select reboot now and it should boot into Red CWM. That might do it i think

Flash Entropy's daily driver kernel. You'll get red CWM and voodoo lagfix. Great kernel by the way.

thanks, I will prob have a rom with a stock kernel...if thats the case, can I flash entropys kernel (which is my choice one on custom roms) through odin in the pda slot?
thanks for the help.
I will only want to flash a custom kernel to get root, then back to stock because the rom I will be running is based on one of the newer leaks, and I want video.

Well you need to have a kernel with voodoo enabled like Entropy's or you can't get red cwm. The stock leaks HAVE to have a stock kernel for video to work however. Oh, and yes you can. You can do that or through SGS Kernel Flasher on the market. What do you need red for anyway?
Don't forget, if I helped you, hit thanks please

alright i've been up all night and i have no idea what i did. i guess we'll start from the top.
one clicked rooted
downloaded rom manager
installed cwm
installed bionix frost rom
decided to mess with voodoo
and where it gets messy...
wanted to try out a gingerbread rom, so flashed after a full wipe
forgot to turn off voodoo
now when i try to get to the recovery screen, its all garbled. sometimes it doesnt even come up.
on top of that, i cant mount the sd card anyway. what should i do?
Do not use rom manager use the cmw from krylons post. To install gb you need gb bootloaders. So. Install kg4 leak by chadster than isnatll kg4 kernel than flash your gb rom thru cmw and walla..

I got used Odin to flash that hawk.zip from another post to get it back to stock. I've never really dealt with partitions before, so it'll take some getting used to making sure everything is mounted.
Wouldn't work on my computer and I was up all night trying to figure out how to wipe and flash from adb lol. Feels good to finally get some sleep.
I'll make sure to read guides more throughly before flashing on phones I don't own lol.

Well, I attempted to use SGS kernel flasher to install the infuseGB kernel. Now I'm stuck with a bootloop and I need help fixing it.
Anyways, Odin confuses the crap out of me. I put my phone in download mode but all odin does is light up a box with com3 in it. I've reinstalled drivers but I'm not sure what to do next.
All help is appreciated.
I had a similar issue after flashing a kernel that way.
What ended up fixing the boot loop was using Odin to flash the stock Rogers kernel.

I'll try that if I can:
A: figure out how to use odin properly
B: find the stock AT&T kernel
This has turned into one big mess.
Well, I figured that out.
Now what is the proper way to flash a kernel from bone stock?
I'm rooted.
I'm installing 3e recovery.

There's three ways...
1. SGS flasher (obviously not working for you)
2. Flash from recovery if kernel is in a zip file
3. Flash through Odin or Heimdall
Remember to flash a GB kernel you must first be on a GB rom!

Ok, I think this is my problem. I'm not on a GB ROM I don't think.
I've got the kernel in zip format. Should I install, say for example, the doctorz ROM and them flash the kernel?
My cwm recovery is dark green,will I still be ok?

download the attatched kernel zip
Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
Download chosen rom zip and place it on your internal SD card.
Power off your phone.
With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into RED CWM.
Select "install zip from sdcard" and select chosen rom zip.
Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".
Select "reboot system now".
once rebooted sgs flash the any GB kernel you want, remember to read and make sure which ever kernel your choosing is GB or Froyo
I flashed it, and thankfully it didn't bootloop. However, my cwm is still green.
Scratch that, we are in the red now! You are a king among men.

Don't know if this helps but my infuse was stuck in a boot loop after adjusting the default launcher. Going into CWM and reflashing the su fix got my phone to boot properly.

I've done this twice but tried to flash an updated kernal via odin and the result ends in a brick. I'm running Octane v2 and was flashing the KJ3 version. I can't remember what I was running before, but did the same thing as well. What gives?
Hard to say without more detail. You said you were trying to flash a kernel on top of Octane but, to my knowledge, no one has put a KJ3 kernel out there. You may be flashing a new ROM vs a kernel.
If you are trying to flash a new ROM (KJ3 in this case) to replace Octane, then you need to insure you don't have voodoo enabled when flashing a stock ROM as stock ROMs cannot read the ext4 filesystem.
If you've already flashed a stock KJ3 ROM, download drhonk's KJ1 kernel with root/cwm/voodoo, flash it via ODIN, let the phone boot, reboot into recovery, disable all voodoo, reboot the phone, then you should be in a good place to flash whatever GB ROM you want.
I meant KJ1 kernel. I already had octane flashed but flashing the kernel via Odin, it bricks. I don't want to flash thru cwm for fear of the same

I get no response from the screen, power button, or touch keys. It wont even respond to my JIG. It'll respond to the pc when I have odin open to let me know it's connected, but other than that, almost like a dead rock. When I odin it, It will flash with just the blue status bar.
If you're using Odin, could it be that you're flashing the kernel in the wrong slot?
It could also be a bad download.
I just flashed Octane v2.X two days ago, and I flashed the KI3 kernel through CWM. Everything worked fine for me.

Hi,
Just wanted to sell my SGS 4g and flash it with valhalla 3.5 firmware.
I just flashed Teamacid 4.0.4 firmware and it worked nice for several days.
Then I wanted to flash KG4 via Odin, But it gave me some error after the flash in the yellow text base screen.Can't access to /system/csc/TMB/system/, But it managed to flash the rom.
I read in google it has something to do with the bootloader.
I tried afterward to flash KJ1 via ODIN, But although ODIN was successful - it didn't updated the rom to KJ1.
I needed to root the phone, So I used the zimage+root then the zimage patch with the red piranha fish and it got the phone rooted.
For some reason I couldn't flash the valhalla 3.5 rom to the machine. It said it was sucessful, but it didn't changed to valhalla after reboot.
I did managed to flash CM7.2, But I wanted the valhalla......
is it possible that the teamacid 4.0.4 rom changed some file/bootloader in a way I couldn't go back to 2.3.4 flawlessly ?
Do a Heimdall One-Click to KJ6. When the CSC error comes up, ignore it. It flashed fine. That warning is always present. Then do what you wish (install valhalla, etc.).

Thank you m4x and itzik.
I will do as you both suggested, and hopefully could flash the wanted rom in the end.
AT&T replaced my Infuse (which I was running JB and before that ICS), so I have a brand new phone.
Came stock with G 2.3.6.
I was able to flash jscott30 2.3.6 Gingerbread with root and CWM recovery option - link below. I chose option C. Phone is running great.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
However, when I try to upgrade to a custom ICS or JB rom (doesn't matter which one) from CWM, the phone soft-bricks - meaning when it resets it's either stuck in Samsung boot loop or that crashed recovery loop.
I have to reflash in download mode to the link above, which thankfully works!
Bottom line - I can't flash any ICS or JB and can't figure out what the deal is. I had no problems flashing before with my old Infuse.
I'm clearly doing something wrong - any ideas? I know I'm not providing a lot of info, but I'm following each flash instruction to the letter (in each OP).
Thanks for any insight!
I don't want to wait for Samsung to upgrade to ICS - if they ever do.
I know it might be a dumb awnser/reply. But did u happen to pull battery out and reflash after it froze? Sometimes that helps. If u have there is nothing wrong from starting back from the start.. cm9 I use for my ICS boot loaderz and then I try whatever else I want. But I always start from. Ginger bread to entropy cm9

Yes, I've tried many different ROMs. Each fails. So weird.
Which CWM do you have. I know that after I flashed the rooted GB version, I then flashed the Heimdall ICS recovery and CWM went to blue version. Then very easy to install ROMs.

There shouldn't be any need to manually install CWM, as the ROM zips have the udated CWM built into them. Since you're coming from GB, the first reboot after installing ICS or JB, should boot you into the new BLUE CWM, after which you may need to format System, and flash again. Also, have you removed your External SD card before flashing? That's caused problems for some people.
My concern is that he said he flashed ICS but still has red CWM. I suggested Heimdall ICS recovery to get him to blue. I am relatively new but that is what I had to do to get ICS on the phone. But I am sure that there are other methods too.

Yep - did the Heimdall and it pushed me to blue CWM. I'm good now!

Odd. Never ran into that issue yet, and, as such, didn't notice that there was a Heimdall ICS one-click kernel floating about. Great advice.
