flashed bionix frost rom stuck on galaxy s screen

Ok so im new and I flashed my SGS4G using these directions to a T!
i would start with krylon final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the file where it needed to be.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1099374
i am assuming you downloaded the rom already from the CWM rom section in the bible. its up to you. im biased towards bionix frost, but black ice is just as amazing.
i would also dl the ext converter and bali 3.1 kernel as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1123039) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1080871). place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card....which means that if you connect your phone to the computer and open it using windows explorer, it is that first window, which lists all of the folders. dont put these files in folders or anything.
once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery shutting down fully and pressing the power+volume up+volume down. once there, i went to reinstall packages to get into cwm.
then when this loads, i wiped the system/factory reset and wiped the cache. then i went to mounts and storage and mounted my system. (the final mounting output should be: unmount, mount, mount, unmount). i then scrolled to "go back"
i choose install zip file from sd card. choose zip file, which should be the second option if my memory serves me right. scroll of ext converter and install that one. then when that is done, go back to install file from sd card, choose black ice or frost (i LOVE frost) and install that one. then when that is done, i flash my bali 3.1 uv kernel. when that is flashed, i click go back and choose reboot system. once that is done, you will see the galaxy s screen for like 5 min or so followed by the team whiskey logo. once you see this, it will take another minute or so to load up. once you see that the rom loads up...LET THE PHONE SIT FOR 10 minutes. i know it seems long, but just let it sit.
after 10 min or so, i would go into your about phone options and check and see that you have bali3.1 and that the rom is correct.
do these tweaks as well
fugu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1127069)
init.d (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ghlight=init.d)
you can flash a modem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117331) using the same process as flashing any other zip file.
remember, the first option in choosing a zip file is update.zip from krylons final cwm. do not flash this after the rom/ext/whatever. im not sure if this has been addressed (im still a noob), but everytime i did that, i bricked my phone. lol. so just to answer your question before you wonder...cause i always wondered whether i should flash that or not. lol.
But after all this I get stuck at the galaxy S screen for more than 5minutes although it will let me back into recovery mode. Its called the "CwM voodoo lagfix recovery v3.0.2.8x" and then gives me a list of options. WHAT SHOULD I DO???

I would ODIN back to KD1 and redo it, but really make sure you have the mounts correct (I know you checked this already, but check it again.) If it still does not work, then I would still go back to KD1 and then try it again by re-downloading all the zip files again. That's what I had to do.

Those were my directions! Was my fault. Ext4 needs a supported kernel. You have one now. Go back into cwm and retry everything starting from wiping the cache and system. sorry about that.
Check your mounts after the ext4 converter just to be safe.

ok i restored my phone back to factory settings last night.. So what do i need to download that i didnt last night so this darn thing works???

Yeah haha well im just gld i was able to fix it without odin. thats sounds like a pain... Any Jager555 i noticed youre running Bali 3.1 UV voodoo I downloaded the bail v3.1 voodoo is that why it didnt work?

No, it didn't work cause you were coming off of stock. The ext4 converter needs a compatible kernel...which you didn't have. Now that you have that red cwm, you are running a compatible kernel. So everything should work now. Reflash everything like I started before after you wipe everything. It should work ok. Like I said it was my fault for not mentioning that, not something you did.

If you are no longer on the bali kernel, flash bionix, so you have bali 2.1, and then flash everything according to my directions. Ext4 will only work if you have the compatible kernel.

wipe the data and cache. check mounts. flash ext4. check mounts. flash bionix. flash 3.1. go back. reboot system from cwm. wait. let me know how it goes. i'll be online.

Ok i just followed your directions again. But should i flash Bali 3.1 again if i removed it?

once you flash bionx, it replaces the kernel with 2.1, so yes. reflash 3.1
crossing my fingers...hoping it works...

any updates??

my phone is now flashed with bionix frost! thanks a million jager555 team whiskey drhonk and anyone else involved!

Is it possible to flash a froyo ROM from a gingerbread ROM if system wont convert to rfs but data is already rfs? I dont own a computer so Odin isn't an option for me.

You definitely need ODIN if you want to be on Froyo bootloaders. Only way to get back onto those is via ODIN.
Flashing another ROM may work but you will stay on GB bootloaders, which will still work to boot your phone just making you aware.
Flash ROM's via CWM that do not have bootloaders in them. Any froyo stock deodexed build by Whitehawkx should work because he doesn't include bootloaders in his flashable's.

if you are trying to flash one of the GB roms, you will have problems with an ext4 partition.

What happens when you turn off lagfix via voodoo settings in CWM? That should fully convert you back to RFS.
If not try this, it's a flashable zip that was linked one of Dr Honk's earlier kernel posts. I couldn't find it linked up anymore so it's attached to this post. Flash that in CWM and it should put you back on RFS.
Then boot into the system to make sure you are on RFS, and you can go back and flash whatever ROM without worrying about issues of partial ext4 and rfs partitions.

[Q] Help with Voodoo and installing Infused ROM...

Hi.
I have a Rogers Infuse 4G and I rooted it as was explained by gtg using the Odin Root Kernel and all is fine. I followed the instructions to create the Voodoo folder / disable-lagfix folder before flashing the root kernel and again... the phone rooted perfectly but...
I am now wanting to install the Infused ROM and I followed the instructions starting with step 1. as I am NOT on a CUSTOM ROM and I deleted the Voodoo folder I created and rebooted the phone but when it started it went through the process of ENABLING Voodoo and the folder did NOT delete.
I tried deleting it again and it rebooted but both Astro AND Root Explorer still shows the folder as there and active and I have tried deleting it from both programs so...
How do I get rid of it to flash the Infused ROM or do I even need to? Since it seems to be active and I cant seem to get rid of it can I just skip to step 7 of the ROM install instructions and flash the ROM itself or do I NEED to get rid of this Voodoo folder and start by flashing the other Infused Kernel before I can flash the ROM?
Sorry for being so longwinded but I dont want to brick the phone. Please advise...
Thanks,

Friendly morning bump... Anyone?

All Voodoo kernels include CWM.
Once you've flashed a Voodoo kernel that includes CWM and it's done the Voodoo conversion, just flash Infused from CWM and do a "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" from CWM.

So you're saying that the kernel I used to root my phone is OK to just flash the Infused ROM from?
Even though I have tried to remove the voodoo folder twice (its still there) it is still enabled and I can do this even though I am still on my stock Rogers ROM and not on any custom ROM which is what the instructions say?
Please advise...

You usually only have to disable Voodoo Lagfix when moving to a kernel that is missing Lagfix support - which means "bone stock" on our devices as all other kernels support it.

Thanks again for the help and info but I guess my real question now is... Since I have already tried removing the voodoo lagfix, have I messed anything up that would affect my ability to just go ahead and flash the ROM from CWM?
You said that the Rogers root kernel also has the proper CWM in it right?
If yo0u can advise on these for me then I will give it a go when I get home from work tonight.

Probably not... Worst case you might need to go into Mounts and Storage and format /system prior to flashing.
And make sure to do Wipe Data/Factory Reset when you flash

But how will I know IF I may have to go into Mounts and Storage and format /system before I flash? Is there a way to tell if I have to do this?
Someone advised me by PM to go into Root Explorer and press r/w and then delete the folder and it should go away so I can start from step 1 of the instructions but I dont know if that will work either.

Hmm...
Use ADB or Android Terminal Emulator while your phone is running and type
Code:
mount
If it shows ext4 for /system and /data, lagfix is enabled and you should be good to flash.

the voodoo folder is created by the voodoo kernel on bootup.
it is the "disable-lagfix" folder or text file (it doesn't matter which as long as it exists) within the /Voodoo folder that disables the lagfix. as long as you have a voodoo kernel you will have a voodoo folder regardless of weather voodoo is enabled or disabled.
also since infused has voodoo it supports both rfs and ext4 and it doesn't matter if voodoo is currently enabled or disabled. the Rom will install just fine. it just takes a while the first time if voodoo installs from rfs. the only exception is if there are errors in the lag fix logs but none of the infuse kernels have ever given me that problem.
the idea of disabling lagfix with the root kernel on rogers is just incase you return to the stock kernel which can't boot the phone on ext4.

OK so I went ahead and tried to install the rom starting from step 7 and I am STUCK in a boot loop or am bricked. All I see is the Samsung logo and nothing else.
How do I get back now and please remember that this is a ROGERS phone so the standard ultimate unbrick wont work as its meant for at&t...
Please help...
EDIT - I CAN get into RED voodoo recovery and am assuming that I should be able to get into download mode as well if I have to..
EDIT 2 - OK so I think I know what I did wrong and it just dawned on me now. First of all I was stupid and did not make a backup of stock DUH!!!
Now what I see I did here is I rooted with the Rogers root kernel which is correct but then I tried to install the Infuse v2 rom over THAT kernel which now I see is listed as ODIN Rogers root Infuse v1 kernel (or something like that) so does that mean I flashed the wrong Tom over the wrong kernel??? If so... can I unbrick it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

WOW!!! Holy SH!T!!! OK so I was able to unbrick it THANK GOD as I found the proper files to do an Odin flash back to stock Rogers firmware.
This flash gave me ROOT but I am now missing the RED CWM recovery so...
Can anyone now tell me where I need to go and what I need to so to PROPERLY install the Infuse v2 rom???
Please and thank you...
All I want is to run a custom rom!!! Why can't this phone be as simple as my old SGS I9000M or my current SGSII I9100. (International version)?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!

I think just go through the steps you did before, but don't mess with the Voodoo folder at all.
1) Flash the CWM/Voodoo/Root kernel
2) Reboot, let it convert partitions (Voodoo Lagfix)
3) Once done, shut down, go into CWM, flash Infused and wipe data

Arrrgh!!! I just don't get it!!! I did everything by the book this time and it STILL BRICKED ON ME!!!
As I said... last night I cleaned it with Odin package and all I had was root... No VOODOO at all so I simply went to the Infused ROM 2.2.3 THREAD and followed all the proper instructions for CWM installation staring right from #1 and for crying out loud IT STILL BRICKED!!! What am I doing wrong???
Do I need to have an external sd card inserted or my sim card for this to work because I don't at the moment...
Well back to Odin I go to unbrick again... I just don't get it!!! :-(

did yoy wipe data/factory reset before you flashed? you should try that.
also the first boot takes a long time. you should hear robot voices (seriously) as It converts. but if that causes you trouble then let the root kernel do the voodoo conversion. don't delete anything and don't remove the root kernel. just use it to flash.
if you still have trouble then start over. create a sub folder in the Voodoo folder (the V is capitalized) called "disable-lagfix" all lowercase no quotations. and don't enable lagfix till after the new Rom is installed.

Hi.
I think I did all this... when I started the second time I was only rooted with no voodoo.
I followed the instructions and flashed the infuse v2 CWM kernel with sgs kernel flasher and rebooted the device like the instructions said to do and voodoo enabled itself. (What I did notice is that even after I flashed this kernel and voodoo enabled itself that when I went to about phone it still showed the same code for the stock kernel (it diddnt say it was different) if that matters).
I then downloaded the ROM zip Infuse 2.2.3 full and placed it on the root of my internal sd card and then powered off the phone, went to RED CWM recovery (voodoo recovery) and flashed the ROM. Then I immediately wiped the data and rebooted as per the instructions and all it does is show me the Rogers splash screen for 2 seconds and then sits on the word Samsung forever.
How long does it take to boot past the word Samsung? Could I just not be letting it boot fully and assuming that its bricked?

you shouldn't be having a problem unless the Rom was a bad download. try downloading again.
also, if it fails again put the disable-lagfix file/folder in the Voodoo folder as a last resort and don't enable the lag fix till after the first boot with infused is successful.

You gain video and hdmi back. You may have to make a slight change to one of the void files if you lose access to your CD card.

I see. Thank you for the help! I was told about this file before, but when I tried editing it last time I messed it up... don't you edit the last value to a different number or something? Do you know what number that is? Thank you guys for the help, I really do appreciate it, what with all these awesome leaks. :]

You will also lose your voodoo filesystem optimizations, init scripting support and the charginghacks/undervolt capabilities (if you like Entropy's kernel).

Don't you have to convert you file system back before flashing the stock rom?

Yes, I unpacked the zimage file from the .rar and sgs kernel flasher rebooted the phone automatically after applying it.

Did you disable voodoo lagfix in recovery before flashing the stock kernel? Not doing that can cause issues, if I'm understanding this correctly.

You dont have to disable voodoo....all i did was flash thru sgs and it booted up fine...if you are stuck however then disabling voodoo might fix your problem

Need help with tweak stock 1.4

Hey guys, unfortunately I don't have 10 posts here yet and I can't post in the tweak stock thread about this but hopefully someone will help me. So basically I'm newer to rooting and right now all I have is a mac to work with which limits me to not being able to use odin. Right now my phone is on tweak stock 1.1 with no custom kernel. I want to upgrade to 1.4 so I wiped all my caches and did a factory reset then tried to load tweak stock 1.4 with the custom pbj kernel and it aborts the installation in clockwork mod. Is there anyway I can do this without odin?

Install the ROM only package in cwm then install pbj kernel afterwards make sure system is mounted when you flash

Just as a heads up DO NOT MESS WITH VOODOO LAGFIX OR EXT4 without a computer with odin. If something goes wrong you need the pit file to reformat.

You actually don't need the pit to reformat, the odin file brings you back to rfs without it.
As for updating, flash the 1.4 patch in CWM and you should be good to go.

What do you mean when you say I have to be mounted to flash?

In CWM, under mounts and storage, make sure it says unmount in front of /system. If it says mount, then go down to it and select it - it should change to unmount. At that point /system should be mounted - that's what he was talking about.

Thanks guys your a huge help. I have a couple last questions, how do I switch back and forth from rfs to ext4 and do I add the pbj kernel through Odin afterwards or can I flash it by itself with cwm?

Use CWM to flash Immonsey kernel, then install Voodoo Control app(download from the market), then use VoodooControlapp to enable Ext4, then use CWM to flash PBJ kernel. If you stuck or have question about each step let me know.

I think on your first install of immonsey s kernel it will convert you to ext4 then you can use voodoo control app to go between rfs and ext4

ztkryan, thank you very much for those battery icons. You're pretty quick, I didn't expect you deliver them so fast. Again thank you.

And in case you wanted to search for the Voodoo-capable kernel, it's author's name is actually Imoseyon, not immonsey.

You actually have to install imoseyon4.0, then go into voodoo control and convert to Ext4, then reboot, then flash 0130 PBJ. You will not be able to toggle between rfs and ext4 while on PBJ.
But personally I have seen no difference between ext4 and rfs. I stick with rfs.

Thanks for all your help guys, I think I'm in ext4 already because otherwise I couldn't have tweak stock 1.1 on my phone. Going to try what you guys said and I'll let you know if I have success .
