need some help

hello all,
tried flashing using cwm the new rom that's floating around...tried wiping always getting stuck at the galaxy s 4g boot screen. Well i can't boot into recovery, sort of freaking out here. I hold the buttons and it just goes back to galaxy s 4g screen not into recovery like it usually does. Any ideas?

Even if u cant get into recovery as long as the device will go into download mode again then ur okay! Just reodin the KD1 whitehawkx if thats what u where on. Sucks starting all over but thats the price we pay to test. Good luck my friend and never fear your device is not bricked it is still recoverable.

Odin back in..from there look into krylons cwm recovery and back up..the official cwm back up and restore results from other members dont seem to be doing well. After that you should be able to restore and not have to worry

is kyrlons cwm recovery and back up a different thread?

yes it is a different thread i believe its called CWM Final. Im running Stock KD1 from whitehawkxs, fota&fugu tweaks plus the gb theme and the bali 1.4 kernel... pretty smooth..
on another thought you probably should have posted this in the general section. just a heads up..

Good advice depackers1 but i think he was already using CWM and had backups but he got himself into a bootloop that wouldnt allow him to get into recovery so he couldnt use CWM. In this case if a person cannot even get into download mode then u will have to use a jig probably.
And kkoshko1 since it seems u are starting from scratch and u said u were on stock rooted so i assume u mean KB5. I would recommend trying whitehawkx KD1 ODIN. U might as well update to the best rom we have right now. KD1 is still stock but has some improvements from KB5. Hope that helps.

Basically he was telling u to check out CWM and then make a backup after u get CWM up and running.

you guys are great and i'm trying odin right now and doing the noob thread, hopefully this works i'll report back...so far in download mode!

okay update. IT WORKED LIKE A F*CKING CHARM! lol booted up just fine. You both deserve metals, i was worried for a minute but thanks for your help and all you guys do!

Sure thing brother! Glad we could help!!!!!!! Odin will always be your bestfriend. Since u were on stock here's a couple more suggestions. Try out drhonks bali kernel. It will save u a ton of battery life and open the door for a few other awesome things that u can find out in the bali thread. U can also free up some internal storage with the fota fix. Try the apk that one of our members created. Also try the fugu tweaks. It will make your application processes much faster. Welll have fun bro and im sure glad u got her up and running again!

Where did you get these awesome tools man? You never say it in your video and I've been googling for hours now...

Better question, who the heck does this process anymore?
There are tons of kernels that can just be flashed with a kernel flasher, or odin that give you cwm instantly

I've been using the 3e recovery process I am not sure of another way without putting the recover file in system/bin.

I have been needing this all day today. Thank you!
Great for those who stock, want to install a cwm packaged rom, and don't want to have to flash a completely different rom solely to get cwm.

[Q] Rooted or not?

Hey all,
I just recently acquired my new Samsung Infuse 4g and downloaded the latest SuperOneClick. It said that it successfully rooted and installed busybox on my system. Went to use titanium backup and when ran it says that my phone is not rooted. Any suggestions?

[Q] Need CWM for sgs4g 2.3.6 official.

Has anybody got a version of CWM that will work on the sgs4g? I accidentally flashed the galaxy s CWM from rom manager before finding this forum. Nothing has changed on the phone, except if i boot into CWM recovery i always get verification errors.
Also, are there any ROMs for the sgs4g that is running 2.3.6?
Thanks to anybody who can help.

Get rid of ROM Manager. I've read it doesn't work well on this phone. Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331 for a 2.3.6 ROM with the latest CWM/root/voodoo lagfix.

You should try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422824
When it is time to choose a package pick the one that includes the beta 2d kernel from the Kj6 collection. Learning the one click method will also give you every thing you need should you make a mistake and need to recover from a soft brick

That is a link to a cwm flashable kernel.
Without cwm he will have no luck installing it.

It's Heimdall installable, too, which is how I did it. I'm trying to leverage Heimdall more these days in an attempt to learn it better.

This may just be a noob question and I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm running 2.3.6 as well and want to flash Valhalla Final onto my device. The instructions say you must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery. Do I need to use Heimdall and load a kernel with clockwork recovery or is there another way to get the CWM? I am still learning the basics of all this stuff. Forgive my ignorance.

Since you're already on GB (2.3.6) you can do this, if you're not rooted follow:

Save the wiki to your bookmarks. We're updating it constantly so you'll always get the most up to date info from there. Also spread the word when other users need help, point them to the proper section in the wiki .

Thanks to everyone for their insight. My sgs4g is no more now. Luckily, I learned a lot about flashing with it before it died. Including unbricking. Still haven't gotten heimdall to work. But I think I have been trying to run the regular exe instead of the front end. We'll see. Hopefully I get paid this week to cut on the internet again. Killing me here.

[Q] Stuck on Samsung Screen after CWM reboot.. PLEASE HELP! SOLVED...

Not really sure what happened..
My phone wouldn't reboot properly.. kept getting "Force Close" for any number of processes on my screen. So I decided to go into CWM to recover a previous backup. It seemed to go well. But when it rebooted, it now stays on the Samsung Screen and nothing else happens. I've tried to get back into CWM by holding down Volume and Power buttons.. but again .. nothing happens.. Just keeps going to the Samsung Screen and freezing there..
I have NO IDEA what to do now.
Any and all help is so greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance.

Can you get into download mode? Hold the volume up and down button then while the phone is plugged in the USB. From there, do a one-click back to stock.

See the purple link in my sig flash the one click in it and you will be rooted however only use it as a stepping stone to one of the GB stock based roms or ICS flavors. And yes you have to reinstall your apps.

Quick question.. First off.. Thank you so much for all your help..
My question is.. after I do this one click.. can I then install [ROM] Valhalla Final [KJ6 Based].. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402966
It says that : Must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery!

Yes if you installed the one click I created or installed the one click with antonx's kernel.
