[Q] Please Help with CWM - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hi guys.
I'm a noob at this, so I really need some help. I followed the exact instructions in the noob guide to flashing in the general section. I keep trying to install different ROMs but so far I haven't successfully installed one -_- I get so close, and then when i try to flash the ROM when I'm in cwm it just says it fails. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong because I've looked up everything including the mounts and the exact instructions for certain ROMs. Please help, and if possible direct me toward an easier one to install. Thanks for listening to a tards complaints, any help is appreciated!

Hi,
Can you give a little more detail? Like what ROM you're currently on (Settings, About Phone, scroll to the bottom and check the "Firmware version" and the "Build number"), what the exact error is that you get from CWM, and what you are trying to flash?

Let's see, I'm using FroYo 2.2.1, with my build number being VUVKD1, two ROMs that I have tried to flash were valhalla v 1.3.2, and the Deodexed FIXED, the ones from the sgs4g bible. And the first error won't even let me look at my SD card once im in cwm. It says E: Can't mount /sdcard. When it does let me in, it says E: Can't mount /sdcard/T959VUVKD1_Deodexed_U1.zip and right below that it says operation aborted. Instead of the "Deodexed_U1.zip", whatever ROM i'm trying to install will appear there.

Big KUDOS to you for reading the Bible! Oddly enough I can't get to the Valhalla 1.3.2 thread. The one from the Bible is on version KI3 of the underlying ROM/kernel, which is a Gingerbread ROM. You're on Froyo which requires different boot loaders. The VUVKD1 Deodexed FIXED ROM is an updated version of Froyo and it should work. If you want to get on GB, I suggest hitting up the GB Ext4 starter pack here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
What strikes me as odd is you're saying sometimes CWM lets you see the SD card, but other times it does not. I'm a bit confused on that.
How did you get CWM installed in the first place?

I was thinking the exact same thing! It must be because I followed some sketchy video on youtube on how to do root this phone, which probably wasn't in my best interest lol. It's strange because the deodexed FIXED is the one that I tried, and it just doesn't want to work. I'm a little discouraged :/
btw thank you for your help!

No worries; glad to be able to help. We were all new at this at some point; I'm still learning as I go.
You could use ODIN or Heimdall to try and flash a ROM. Those are located in the Development section where you found the Bible. That might at least get you to a better starting point for flashing.

Sounds good, I'll definitely try that.

drhonk's KJ1 + CWM & Voodoo Ext4 Lagfix
i downloaded this back to stock with CWM on my galaxy s 4g and when i go into recovery mode me screen looks like a fuzzy tv screen. Any one know how i can fix this?

Alright, so Stephen, i used Heimdall One Click to get the KJ1 Kernel Stock ROM with bootloaders, and so far everything works fine. I'm now on gingerbread 2.3.6. My build number is now VUVKJ6, so is there anything that you would suggest doing now for custom ROMs? Thank you!

Glad you got it working. My best advice for the custom ROMs would be to test them & see which you like the most

[Q] CWM Wont work and other aggravating problems- What can i do?

Hello, boy do I have a mishap. Well, anyway to begin I will say that I decided I wanted to root my phone to debloat it. So what I did, is downloaded the EE4 update and did the VooDoo V4 Kernel that flashes CWM and EXT4 and other junk. Well that all went great. I got it rooted and such but then just tinkering around I went into Rom Manager and told it to back up. WELL, when I did this the phone got locked on the SAMSUNG boot screen for hours and continued to refuse to boot. SO, I attempted to fix it by installing altered beast just to get the os running again and went into clockwork and backed it up. Then I went to the rooted ed1 to bring it back up to EE4 rooted and with the voodoo kernel and such but it refuses to open clockwork! The voodoo kernel changes filesystems and roots it and such but clockwork wont load. When I try to flash it in rom manager it says its succesful and then i go to reboot in recovery. It takes me to the Samsung Recovery 3e, I try to the update.zip, (yes i took the cwm recovery-update.zip and renamed it and through it in the sd card root) but all that happens is that a progress bar shows up for a split second then the android guy with the triangle and ! shows up and it does nothing. Help? I really need to back it up, preferably in the rooted ed1 but in ee4 will work to. Any ideas would be appreciated. I used odin v1.3 by the way. Im willing to try anything to get clockwork to boot so i can back it up. What do I do?
EDIT: Also, now when I go into 3e recovery, it complains saying " cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 " or something like that.
Did you read anything on this forum beforehand? Or just go link by link downloading files and deciding what to try on your phone?
Just saying..
Yeah, I did. Ive searched everywhere. I cant find anything about my problem. Ive looked at things that are close, hoping a solution can be found but nothing and no I wasnt just downloading files and spoon feeding them to my phone.. I just wanted to be able to debloat it.
Go search about Rom Manager and let us know what you find out...
I dont see how thats going to get me one step closer to solving my problem. Ive done the searching, now im asking.
Start w/ this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100384
I can't tell where you are currently on your phone from reading that as it's to much text in one paragraph and it isn't put together in a logical sense and seems to jump around. I would look at the instructions for going to rooted EE4 in the Dev forum as that should get you to where you want to be with voodoo/cwm/rom
Instead of being a Forum Snob. If you know the answer, why don't you just help him out?
There's an abundance of confusing information on here and everyone uses acronyms. I too searched for hours on how to solve a similar problem and ended up having it taken care of for me. People join communities like this one for help. Not to get flamed for asking a question. It may be elementary to YOU but not everyone.
Thanks, for the care. Sorry about that if its jumbled, im frustrated with this because ive flashed the rooted ed1 about a billion times now, trying everything to get it functioning. Id be glad to try to explain again if that could help? Ah, yes. Well, I returned to the forum about installing the voodoo kernel. I followed the process word for word. But it just doesnt seem to want to work. Right now I just flashed it again back to the rooted ed1. Would I be able to put CWM on there at that point?

Oh and sorry if Im not getting this. Are you saying use a application that imnuts made? If so, could you be so nice to link it? Or a method he used? I looked for stuff but I didnt find anything other then what looks like a stock rom/kernel ed1 from him
I know how it is to be frustrated, but like they all said all of your questions have already been answered.
Here's my attempt to help:
Your problem lies in trying to flash CWR through ROM Manager, it currently doesn't play well with our phones. Word is that Koush (the creator) needs to update something for it to work with our phones. The bootloader is unlocked.
To flash imnuts' version of CWR, you'll need to use Samsung's leaked software called Odin - it's PC only. The alternative is Heimdall which is supposed to be cross-platform compatible, but the latest version is command-line only.
You have to find out if you've converted your system to EXT4 or if it's still RFS. That depends on if you have the Voodoo lagfix enabled or not. Check out the dev section and look for the titles that say [RECOVERY], [ODIN], [ROM], and/or something like "Get yourself to EE4 successfully".
A few links:

Well, currently right now its rfs. Its the stock file system. What I was going to do, or did before, was to put it in download mode and flash the VoodooV4 Kernel. It roots the phone, and all that good stuff and is suppose to put the Voodoo recovery/cwm on there.
EDIT: Heres the proccess I followed before.

The recovery is a separate flash, both in odin. First the kernel, then Recovery.

You do need Odin to load that, but i'm wondering why you want to? Did you install the PBJ kernel following the instructions from the other link?
If you want to go down this route, be sure to apply the SD Card fix as well - you'll find posts about it.

[Q] CWM Recovery question

I have been searching through the forums and have been able to find answers to a few of my questions. However I have been away so long and previous phone MT3G was so much easier to work with than the SGS4G I'm a little lost on some of the jargon.
I managed to get the amazing Bionix frost rom installed and working. Here is my question.
I was able to get CWM on my phone to flash the rom, now when I boot to recovery I am getting the stock recovery screen but if I select reinstall packages I get the CWM Recovery v3.0.2.8. On my MT3G when I booted into recovery the CWM screen was the first thing I saw, I just want to confirm that this is the normal and or correct method to access CWM on my SG4G.
thanks in advance for your responses.
flash dr honks kernel. that will make sure everything is correct with CWM. that should fix any issues you are having. If you have any questions let me know. Its not too bad. I think its easier using ODIN but you can do it either way.
That is the normal process for bionix. It uses an older cwm stock. Search for the Bali 3.3UV kernel. Once you flash that, you will go straight to cwm. plus other stuff. Read his op. Once you undervolt on frost...omg. That battery life is out of control

Glad to know you started some reading on your own! FBis251's Odin Bali 3.3 makes flashing Froyo so much easier.
Here's five of the most valuable things I've learned so far:
1) Odin is your friend.
2) Losing your soft brick virginity isn't a bad thing. QQ if it's a hard brick though. Nothing in this forum would really give you a hard brick though.
3) The Bible is quite holy. Don't read it and you'll get some sort of punishment from the community.
4) Reading is fundamental.
5) The developers are awesome!
Not in any specific order. XD
You should try out the GB ROMs here once you get more comfortable flashing on this phone. They're crazy smooth.
Thanks all.
I have been going through the "Bible" each visit to the site. That's where I was able to figure out how to get the Bionix Frost rom working on my phone. And because I missed a few steps like making sure the permissions were correct before flashing I experienced my first soft brick. Which took another 3hrs of reading and playing with Odin to get fixed. But that's what I love about this site. Everyone is so knowledgeable and willing to help. It was't to hard to find out where I messed up and how to fix it. I appreciate all the help, I will start with FB's Bali+CWM upgrade and then I'm hoping to flash Valhalla. The rom looks amazing.

Thanks again FB, just followed your guide and now am enjoying the red CWM. Quick question, with this setup I can now flash any FROYO roms directly from CWM correct? The GB roms however like Valhalla will require the GB bootloaders.

[Q] Multiple Questions - Backup Issues, Installing a New ROM, etc.

Hello everyone. This is my first post, so please be gentle. I've been reading around and I can't seem to find specific answers to my questions so I figured it would be best to make a post. This is my first Android phone and also the first phone I have rooted so I'm trying to be extra careful. I've already received tons of help from other threads in these forums, but as I said I've still got a few questions.
I rooted my SGS4G using SuperOneClick v2.1.1, then proceeded to install CWM ROM Manager as per the instructions I found in many articles online. Once I got that installed I was unable to make backups as it would boot me into the stock recovery menu, which led me here searching for answers. That is when I came across this thread: [RECOVERY]CWM FINAL for the SGS4G After following the instructions I wasn't exactly sure what to do, so I attempted to boot into the "new" recovery menu which ended at an infinite boot logo, which I assumed was a soft brick after reading around a bit.
After thoroughly freaking out about my phone being bricked I looked around a bit more and came across this thread: [GUIDE] Noobs guide to Odin to flash your SGS4G (Windows) Following that thread I was able to install the T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root ROM which restored my soft brick. Once that was installed I installed CWM ROM Manager again thinking the Recovery Menu would be fixed and I could finally make a backup before moving on, but it wasn't. Then I came across this thread: [Odin][Kernel] drhonk's Bali 3.3 for Froyo, Installs CWM!
After installing drhonk's Bali 3.3 for Froyo kernel I was finally able to make a single nandroid backup (and backup my apps using Titanium Backup)! I messed around on the phone for a few days with no issues (other than the Android flickering in the boot logo). Now I am ready to move on to trying out a few ROMS. So, first thing first I said: I need to make another backup. So I entered the Recovery Menu via the CWM ROM Manager and attempted to make another backup, and this is what I get:
E: failed to open /etc..... (I couldn't write fast enough to copy the entire message)
E: unknown volume for path [/sdcard] (10s)
The second of which repeated over and over until it reached 0s and then my phone was rebooted.
TL;DR
- Rooted using SuperOneClick
- Installed ROM Manager and couldn't make a nandroid backup correctly
- Attempted to install CWM FINAL for the SGS4G, which resulted in a soft brick
- Restored using ODIN and installed T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root ROM and drhonk's Bali 3.3 for Froyo kernel
- Cannot make nandroid backups (other than the initial one apparently), Recovery Menu does not seem to be working correctly
- I am not comfortable trying new ROMs until I am able to make backups correctly
Anyway, so here are my questions:
1. What do I need to install to allow me to make nandroid backups correctly? Or is there another app besides CWM ROM Manager that will allow me to do this?
2. I would like to try a few other ROMs, but I when I reach the so-called "Do the mounting stuff" step I am unable to continue as my Recovery Menu isn't working correctly. What do I need to install in order to be able to do complete this step? I have a feeling the answer to #1 will solve #2 as well.
3. I would like to try a few of the GB ROMs (such as Valhalla v1.3.2 or Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root), but I am not sure exactly where to go from here. Is the GB Ext4 Starter Pack the way I need to go, or would this way be better? Can I do either of these without a working Recovery Menu?
Thanks in advance for all the help!
Your first mistake was rom manager. It does not work for this phone correctly. Odin one of Dr honks kernels to get cwm recovery. They are in the dev section.

are you sure you understand? seeing as you mentioned BOTH bali and krylon's cwm, yet you still do not know how to get the custom recovery on the phone. once again, i will write a nice guide for you, so for now, just odin back to stock and give me a day or two. once im out of work, i will take a nap and write this for you.

Apparently I do not understand. I guess I will just wait for your guide. Hopefully it will pick up where the other guides failed (for me anyway).
Edit: After reading around a bit I think I understand where I went wrong. As a noob I was confusing CWM with ROM Manager (after all, they're both made by the same people right? I believe that's what was confusing me ). I have since uninstalled ROM Manager and have booted to the Recovery Menu and successfully made a backup.
I myself have been a member for coming up on one year. And when I originally joined I was modding my Mytouch 3G. Much easier phone to mod and especially with ROM manager. This phone on the other hand requires more attention to detail. It is very important to do your due diligence to research this site for answers before posting. The reason is, all the wonderful and talented folks making all this possible are providing us all these great hacks, cracks, and roms for free. The information is here if you just look for it. Now if you are having trouble understanding the info that is also understandable. I find questions are better received if you show everyone what you have researched and then say what your are confused about.
Enough of the lecture, the end result is that everyone here is really nice and helpful. Here are the 3 links you should save. The Bible lists everything about our phone. Now at this stage in the game unless you really want to get more background on how the phone has evolved from Froyo to GB you won't need to read the Bible. The first thing you will need to do is follow the instructions for Bali 3.3 + CWM. This will provide you with the Red CWM recovery making it possible for you to flash Froyo Roms. Once you have completed this step you can move on to the GB Starter Pack. This guide will prepare your phone with the correct bootloaders it requires to run GB Roms. Once this process has been completed you can flash GB Roms. And if you need a quick list of the roms available just look in the Bible. Hope this helps, just be patient and make sure you understand what you are reading and attempting before doing anything. And if you don't understand a step or a process then come and ask and you'll get better answers and better understanding of what you're actually doing to your phone.

Thanks for the help. I tried to do as much research as I could before posting (as you can see, I've posted two of the three links you suggested in my OP, and I basically keep the Bible open at all times ). It's just the little things that I find confusing, which is why I posted this thread. It's nice to know that from this point I can proceed to the GB Starter Pack and play around with the GB ROMs, but I think I'd like to try a few Froyo ROMs before I take that step Thanks for confirming that!
Sorry for the double post but I have another question.....
I've been reading over FB's GB Ext4 Starter Pack thread and I just wanted to make sure that once you get to the part where you flash your "favorite GB rom" that Valhalla v1.3.2 would be an acceptable ROM to flash there. If not, which ROM should I flash first, then flash Valhalla? Thanks in advance.
Yes, Valhalla would be fine to flash at that point (any version). just as long as you went through each step of the directions first. you'll be fine.

Not sure it's much if any different from what you can get out of the forums here. I'm running rooted 2.3.6.

Don't use anything that isn't on this forum or in RootzWiki. You'll just get flamed for hard bricking by using something from another site.
Rooting and deleting bloat
I got this T959V last week and knew there had to be development on it. I got a Pandigital novel last christmas and learned some good lessons about android over at slatredroid. I was happy to find so much good work here and jumped right into flashing after slogging through this swamp (that's a compliment!) of info and choices. My phone arrived with Froyo 2.2.1 and stock T959VUVKD1. After getting my mind wrapped around the possibility of bricking the thing (which, thanks to the nature of the device and/or the excellent developers here, seems less likely than with the Pandigital) I used Odin to flash right to FW2.3.5, then tonight to FW2.3.6, T959VUVKJ5, kernel 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKF1-CL270364
I have not removed my sdcard (unlike w/pandigital flashing) or sim card on either of the three stops in my upgrading. HOWEVER, when I followed dsexton702's guide to rooting I did have to remove my battery - the red blowfish after loading his first rooting tarball nearly had me dropping a load in my pants. Couldn't power down with the button, so I pulled the battery and hoped. Put the battery back in, powered on and it booted. I thought factory reset, then reflashing 2.3.6 and forgetting about rooting. But I do want to remove some of the bloat from the device, so I just used odin to upload the second rooting tar and prayed! It worked! Thank you, dsxton702!
At least it seems to have worked. When I open titanium it now recognizes the device as rooted. I am using the freebie, which may be my real problem. But, anyway, here's where I am. When I try to delete preinstalled software like slacke by doing FORCE REMOVE APP in titanium I get this result:
finding update package
unknown volume for path [SYSTEM:/app/slackerradio.apk]
Can't mount SYSTEM:/app/slackerradio.apk
Installation aborted
Given these choices, I tried #4 first, then #1:
reboot system
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
The app remains. I know I have to buy the app to freeze other apps; the error message tells me so. But to delete, is my problem that I am using the titanium freebie, or am I doing something wrong with the freebie?
So has anyone tried it? I just want to make sure someone has confirmation before I try this one.

Neon - Use the GB Ext4 Starter Pack - It works.
Or use The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection - It works.
Or use ROM-ODIN-2.3.6-Gingerbread Offical - It works.
If there were torrents for downloads things would be much easier:laugh:

And when i choose "vb-fb-build-4.zip" download link it downloads very slowly and evenif the total file size initially shows as 143MB, however only 20-40MB files are getting downloaded. I have tried several times. Same issue..not sure why. Anyone has any link from where I can get the latest Valhalla Black FB edition?
2. When I tried to take the Valhalla Black FB Edition from "https://github.com/teamacid/valhalla-black (Valhalla Black FB Edition on GitHub) and downloaded it it was around 141MB. The name was "teamacid-valhalla-black-build3-4-ge768021.zip". not sure if this is the FB version or not. Anyway when I try flashing this ROM I am getting "update opening and installation aborted" on top it says "choose the update file from sdcard" or any other location kind of information..
Could anyone help me with these questions. It will really be a great help as I need to flash the ROM. Do I also need to install some more files along with the ROM?
Please help!!

Using XDA forums help I have been able to upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. lumin30's "[GUIDES] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G | Heimdall One-Click For Dummies" I have flashed my Kernel and installed CWM. Thanks a lot lumin30 for your guide. It really helped a noob like me.

[Q] Infuse 4G stuck in recovery

Hey everyone,
I have a rooted Infuse that I've gotten stuck in recovery mode and I'm looking for some help! I have flashed several different ROMs over the last year but made a mistake last week by trying to take a short cut... Ya I know, noobie move. I had installed a rom and set up my phone but forgot to instal BLNTouchwake (it was compatible with the ROM) so I booted into recover any tried to install BLN without factory reseting and doing everything all over again. It messed up my phone a bit but I was able to flash a ROM onto it again and it worked until today. I tried to flash Carbon Rom 1.7 and it will no longer load a ROM. I am getting error status 0 and can't successfully flash a ROM anymore. I read a little bit about error 0 and that it's caused by a script error but that's starting to go beyond my technical knowledge and I have no idea how to correct that.
If someone could please give me some steps to try to get my phone up and running again that would be awesome!
Thanks,
Wardo

post #3 - just the kernel flash may be enough to get you back on cm10 track..if not start over from gb
need to know how to use heimdall..if you don't read the heimdall thread...just make sure to read all of it...some due diligence is needed
if you're not comfy with heimdall...use odin - i can't offer much help there
Thank you! I have been looking through threads all day trying to get this right. I have a Rogers infuse so I believe that I need the UXKG3 kernel but I have not found a single link that is still working to download them. Will the UCLB kernel work for my phone or will that create the rainbow effect on my screen?
