Ghosts of Roms showing up on phone - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

What is the best way to return to stock to get rid of ghosts from past Roms? I've use Odin dozens of times on my Vibrant to return to stock, but I've never had to do it on the SGS4G before. Should I Odin back to KD1, or back to KJ6. I'm on the newest Valhalla Rom right now. I searched but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Thanks in advance.

I would follow the gb starter pack. And format your sd card completely.

Thanks. I have used that before, when I first got my phone but I didn't know I could use it for this problem. I'll give it a try.

best ways are to use krylons odin to kb1, fb ext 4 starter pack, heimdall back to stock kf1 by adam or heimdal to kj6 by adamoutler. Restoring apps with system data might bring back some old ghosts, better to start fresh.

Ok that's kinda what I was looking for. Should I use the pit file when I Odin back to KD1? I did restore my apps with data, but not systems apps. I never restore the data on those. Thanks.

never odin kf1, it isn't stock.
KF1 is a higher chance of bricking.

I actually used the GB Starter Pack with the original files in it which is KC1 and KH2 because I couldn't get the KJ6 files to download. It all worked fine for me. Its actually the 3rd time I've used it so far. Thanks for the info though.

To get rid of ghosts. Flash a froyo rom without removing GB bootloaders. Boot into cwm, go to mounts. Format data cache, and system. (go to froyo rom because you can't format system on GB yet), then flash your favorite KJ6 rom, eg. AOSP style.

Try flashing RaverX3X's KC1. Here's the link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129933
Put PIT into PIT, REV00 (largest file) into PDA, Phone into PHONE, and CSC into CSC in Odin.
Do not touch the other settings and flash.
That pretty much gets rid of everything. After that, you can do whatever you want again.

[Odin][Kernel] drhonk's Bali 3.3 for Froyo, Installs CWM!

The next in the series of Odin flashable files, here's drhonk's Bali kernel for the SGS4G in an Odin flashable format! No more having to mess with pushing a custom recovery file to /system, as long as you have a Windows PC with Odin on it you'll be good to go.
FEATURES
Roots your phone
Installs ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM/CWR)
The UV kernel gives you more freedom for overclock settings.
NOTES
This is for FROYO ONLY versions 2.2.x only, NOT 2.3.x
Comes in 2 flavors, UV which is undervolted, and regular.
Please read drhonk's original thread for features and usage.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the file to your Windows PC
2) Extract the 7-Zip file using a compatible program, such as 7-Zip
3) Load up the file in Odin, putting it in the PDA section
4) Flash
5) Success!
ODIN
Learn how to flash files with Odin using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
All files go into the PDA section of Odin. Your Odin screen should look like this:
KERNELS

Thanks for your work! Flashing from Froyo is gonna be much easier now. It was so time consuming to root, go through the market for a root explorer, and then push the files manually! :O

You will not lose your data with just flashing a kernel, but once you flash a new ROM, you will. Make sure you do a back up of your current ROM before you mess with anything.

Sorry for the noob questions, I'm used to a vibrant so this is all different to me. Just to be clear about what this does....basically it just roots the phone and adds cwm, but does not change anything about the phone other than that or wipe settings/ data?
I'm using a mac that I have parallels with xp on. Would this work that way? I had trouble trying to root before on parallels with superoneclick...the file just wouldn't run. Also, i'm assuming the phone needs to be in download mode for this to work?
Thanks.
You will not lose data. Yes, it gives you root and cwm. Yes, you have to be in download mode.
Are you dual booting or running vmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i'm not exactly sure, i'm running parallels within osx so I think that would qualify as a virtual machine...I don't know what you mean by dual booting
Well, i've tried it in parallels and no luck. Odin opens fine and loads up the tar file. However it never recognizes the phone. I have the correct samsung drivers installed and windows recognizes that the phone is plugged in, it just doesn't make it into odin. It seems that there is just no way for me to root this phone with a mac, and unfortunately i don't know anybody with a pc. Oh how I wish somebody could make an app for the market that would root just like the vibrant...... it was sooo easy with that phone.....oh well
Well this isn't a vibrant, so I will end that argument there.
Are you in download mode when connecting to Odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Why not give heimdall a try. You can flash bali through odin and you'll get your phone rooted and get cwm installed.

yes, I am in download mode, it just doesn't show up. I've heard that odin can be picky about usb issues, so perhaps there are too many factors at play between the mac and windows interface for it.....I don't know. And, I'm definitely not trying to start a vibrant vs 4g argument, i understand that they are very different. I'm just frustrated that i'm having such a hard time rooting this phone.
I've never tried heimdall, is it a vm as well....similar to parallells?
Thanks for taking time to read this and give advice btw....it really is appreciated regardless of whether I get this working or not.
Heimdall is a flashing program for windows/mac/linux. The author of it reverse engineered Odin's file transfer protocol and made that program available for free.

honestly, I think it's easier to just grab one of DrHonk's rooted kernels from the dev section and flash that via ODIN, and it also gets you CWM.
Just make sure you don't try to flash a gingerbread (2.3.x) kernel over a froyo (2.2.x) rom and vice versa
Can i do this running 2.2.1? Like updating from Froyo to this firmware, or do I have to update to something else first?
Dr Honk also has froyo kernels posted. Also you could try any of the great roms here as most of them are rooted. Just be sure to read the Noobs guide to flashing very carefully. In the Android developement section RaverX3X has posted the latest stock kernel + root + deodexed + debloat. Your best bet if you want stock.
The only problem I'm having with this root is I can't get Wi-Fi to work.
To fix your Wi-Fi issues install this using your phone to do it so it installs in onto your SD card Valhalla v1.3.2[/QUOTE]
I'm confused what is exactly the "this" you need to install get back the wifi. I got it rooted and on GB 2.3.6 but confused on what I need to do to get back wifi.
Thanks
What if you are on a ota 2.3.6?
How would you go about rooting that?

If you just want root, you can use the latest SuperOneClick. If you want root/CWM/voodoo lagfix you can:
- Install drhonk's kj1 kernel via ODIN
- Install bhundven's KJ6 Heimdall One-Click
I suggest the latter as it's based on the KJ6 kernel & only needs Java to install.

This is in my opinion the easiest way, the fastest way, and therefore the best way.
Root+Red CWM. The basis for all your flashing needs.

The upshot to the CWM in bhundven's kernel is that it's CWM 5 which doesn't have the problem with mounting /system on GB ROMs. However, you can't restore your previous CWM backups with it, either.
Didnt work for me, just sticks on the fugomod screen.

Easy 'nuff. Download FB's KD1 one-click ROM.
Make sure the phone is plugged into the PC, put your phone in download mode (check the wiki link in my signature), and double-click the ROM you just downloaded (it's a jar file which is a Java file). If you have Java installed (most people do) then it should "just work."
WARNING: You will lose all of your data, apps, contacts, etc (but not stuff on your sdcard). Make sure you have a backup of things you want to keep (if you're synching your contacts with T-Mobile or Google, you'll get 'em back), then install the ROM.
Problem! It booted but now its a black screen! Bricked?
Run the one-click again & make sure that flash bootloaders is checked.

Ok, that's good. Let's at least get you back where you were
Go grab bhundven's Fully Back-To-Stock ROM. It is also a Heimdall one-click but will put you back on stock KJ6 GB.
Quick question - were you on stock KJ6 before? If not, did you have CWM installed and was voodoo enabled?

Ok so were getting closer. It botted. nut the problem is when it first boots its like a whole bunch of clorful lines like a broken.

Read the thread carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Step 4: Run "flash" once. Let the phone reboot itself. Don't touch the phone until it boots into android. If it works and you want to flash bootloaders.

Yes. You told me this in PM. Just so you know.... you are sti on GB and not Froyo as you mentioned wanting in PM. Give me a second and I'll tell you how to change the ascending ring. I'm on VB so I need to look how to do it on stock.

[Q] Tons of problems with my Charge, any help?

I recently bought a charge off of ebay and it came in and I noticed it had an Gmail account still synced with it.
Ok I thought, I'll just remove it. I go to remove the account and it says that "some apps require this account to remove this account you need to reset phone to factory defaults".
Alright so I go to do that and the phone reboots after I wiped data/cache and I go to add my account and realize that the other account is STILL THERE. So I do the wipe a few more times and still stays there.
By this time I figured I would root the phone and install CWM and try and wipe data that way. That still didn't work and I just started trying to get a stock rom back installed and finally I did. Except the ACCOUNT WAS STILL THERE, but now I'm getting a ton of FC's ranging from google apps to other processes. I've tried to install different rom's/CWM's/kernels in ODIN on my Window's laptop and I would alwasy just get the talking voice saying things like "converting data partition" and then it would just boot back into the stock but keep force closing.
I am now using my Macbook Pro on spring break and am trying to fix this using Heimdall but i've still had no luck. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

Okay so it seems like you're sorta familiar with this kind of stuff so this shouldn't be too much trouble for you. You're going to need to go back to stock EP4D ROM and re-partition your device. Here is the link to where you can solve this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
You're going to have to use Odin (You're going to need Windows to run Odin) fit this because Heimdall just doesn't cut it and personally I've never used it. Get Odin 1.82, it works really well with the Charge. Download stock EP4D and also the charge.pit file from the posted link. Place stock EP4D md5 file in PDA in Odin and charge.pit in PIT. Make sure you have Re-Partition checked and Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time UNCHECKED and press start. It will reconfigure everything and basically give you a brand new phone on the inside. Hope this helps and if you have any more questions just go back to the link to Imnuts' thread I posted.

No problem man I'm glad to help. If you want you can try a full data wipe. Boot into CWM and mount everything i.e. \system, \data, the whole nine yards and then wipe data/factory reset, and also wipe cache partitions and Dalvik cache. Then install whatever ROM you have available and see if that works. Otherwise you're SOL until you get a Windows computer and can Odin back to stock and re-partition everything.
EDIT: Just to clear something up, to mount everything scroll down to 'mounts and storage' in CWM.

Make sure you Odin Tweakstock and flash cwm imosey kernel 4.0 (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3426-kernel-gb-imoseyon-kernel-stock-repacked-v400-11611/ ) installed on your phone. Download and install "voodoo control app". In this app go into advance and put 2 checks in for ext4 settings, reboot your phone and report back the results.

This didn't work. I installed TweakStock and the kernel booted up and I got instant force closes that didn't allow me to do anything.
Did you ever try the first froyo build with pit?

Yes, I did. I've heard of "spamming the pit file". Does anyone know how to do this?

I think your partition is mess up due to ext4. I have an idea, why don't you flash the new CM9 ICS rom, this will auto reconvert yours to ext4. You have nothing to loose at this point. Make sure you MOUNT SYSTEM before flashing.

Good luck.

wait for 1/2 hrs if still boot screen, pull the battery and put back the battery see if it boot correctly.

How do I downgrade back to 2.3.6 from ICS 4.0.4?

Do i just flash a stock gingerbread firmware (btw, where can i find that?) through ODIN? or is there another procedure? thanks.

THANK YOU!!!
You can use Thomas' Gremling Remover too.
I Odin raver's kc1 cleanup rom with boot loaders checked, then stock kj6 with bootloaders checked and then antonx's Odin basic with a twist kernel. The kc1 cleanup from is a little hard to find search for "hawk". That takes the phone back to the original froyo that came with the phone. It used to be a chore to get voodoo lag fix working but antonx's kernel automates the process. Once you get there you have a working cwm and you can flash any gb rom you like.

It's easier if he just uses Thomas' Gremling Remover, then flash Anton's Basic with a Twist kernel. Two steps. That seems a bit complicated, getting back to Froyo to go GB. A few days ago I was checking the ROMs in the Bible and most old ROM links don't work since back then Multiupload was used and that webpage is dead. No to be rude, just saying. Whatever helps is good.
The cleanup rom is four files a pit a csc a phone and the large md5 file. The kc1 cleanup rom is the old school way but it's very reliable and cleans everything off putting the phone back to factory stock.

I could never get any of the heimdall methods to work, and I haven't seen a four part kj6 stock rom with the pit, Csc, and phone files along with the pda file. Maybe those other three files are the same for froyo and gingerbread. We used to have to go back to froyo to get voodoo lag fix working but I remember odining just the stock kj6 file and getting boot loops or some other problem. If you've already downloaded the files it's very simple to do the three steps and once you Odin the antonx kernel it goes right into the lag fix restore. I've been back and forth this last week.

The funny thing is my oneclick is basically everything the odin method does in one shot.
Raver helped me get all the right components to put into the oneclick, and tested it for me... back when he had an sgs4g. My stock rom comes with pit, the csc update (which doesn't flash if you have the /sdcard/Voodoo stuff enabled), and all the other stuff you said.
All you have to do is get off your bum and remove the odin drivers, install the new drivers that come with heimdall and forget about being stuck to using windows. Now you can flash from linux, mac os x, and windows.
YEAY!!!
