So here is my dilemma. I have the Galaxy S4g the stock firmware version 2.3.6 gingerbread. Since this update, my phone has become less and less stable. I therefore would like to try out some custom roms. I have my device rooted using superoneclick root.
Tried to flash CWM Final, following the instructions, including pasting recovery in the system/bin folder. Further research led me to the understanding that just using this method will not work with a device running 2.3.6.
Problem one, was when I tried to paste the recovery file, there was not in the /bin folder. I did notice that the recovery file is in the root directory of the phone. Can I replace this recovery file with the modified one in the root directory, and then will this allow me to flash CWM ?
If not, is it possible to even flash cwm onto the GS4G? IF so, I am sure that there is a how to out there somewhere.
Some help would be greatly appreciated here.

Try flashing the KJ1 Dr honk kernel with Odin in the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
I feel its the fastest way to get cwm then in cwm you can flash whatever rom you want and then flash bhund kernel as mentioned above.

I had the same issue. recovery goes in sysbin folder.
next make sure the rom you eventually would like to use is in your root.
next you'll have to use heimedall and flash the appropriate kernal (kj6 is what I used, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380331
reboot after that and make your necessary changes to the mount system as required by the dev of your desired rom, and follow their instructions to flash.

These are modded stock kernel from all gingerbread leak. I didn't change anything to these kernel, they are pure stock but did added few mods to it.
Things I added:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)
- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)
Installation procedure for RAW LEAK version:
- Install kernel using ODIN version, phone will reboot automatically.
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery).
- Disable voodoo
- Reboot
- Install busybox from market
- Go to recovery (adb reboot recovery)
- Enable voodoo
- Reboot
ODIN version:
stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4.tar
stock+Voodoo-T959VKG6.tar
stock+Voodoo-T959VKH2.tar
stock+Voodoo-T959VKI1.tar

im flashing back to KD1 then ill flash the debloated version then ill odin this kernal see if that works
Damn! Now I have to switch to Gingerbread. Great work drhonk!
Thank You! You are the Man!
So... my kernel flash failed, and I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." message... Am I screwed? or should I still be able to enter download mode?
EDIT: Scratch that, it took a bit, but my phone appeared in Odin again. No worries
DOUBLE EDIT: This just flashes in the 'PDA' field right? I'm not doing anything wrong?
AThis sounds like good news, if only i understood what most of the stuff meant. Can someone give me accurate, precise directions on flashing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Current info: I'm on balil 3.3UV kernel, ICBINB, and kf2 modem. Thanks for all the help awesome community! Thanks to drhonk for making this kernel too!

I'm assuming that it worked perfectly for you?

This is a modded stock kernel from the latest gingerbread leak, UVKG4. I didn't change anything to the kernel, it's pure stock but did added few mods to it. In theory .. this kernel should work with any GB leak for SGS4G as long as you're still on Froyo bootloader or KG4 bootloader, otherwise you won't be able to get to recovery.
Things I added:
- CWM Recovery (Voodoo Red).
- Voodoo lagfix (it will convert /system, /data, and /cache partition to ext4 during first boot)
- Auto root (kernel will automatically root your GB ROM if its not rooted and install superuser.apk)
NOTE:
This is ODIN file, use ODIN to flash this kernel .. if you don't know how, google it.

Humans, (and some others),
To flash. Put it into PDA on ODIN, or extract it and put the zImage in Heimdall.

My son bricked his phone last night! I'm not familiar with samsung and odin at all. I have an evo and I'm always installing roms on my phone, so I'm aware of the process. Can someone please explain to me how to fix his device using odin. I have already installed the proper drivers and odin software. I'm not sure of what rom or where to get a stock rom from. I also dont know the process or steps to begin usin odin.
Thanks

from that link, go to the op, find the noobs guide to Odin and follow that. if you want, you can Odin to a different ROM. But I would suggest sticking with a froyo one until you know what you are doing

Just trying to point the guy in the get my phone fixed direction. I'll edit the post and make sure he boots to audio!
when they are talking about mounting, what does that mean. I see it in recocery, but when i select it, nothing happens.
Ok, I flashed the rom in recovery and it just sits on the splash screen. It's not boot looping, just sitting on the splash screen.
look up the noobs guide to odin in the bible and follow that. you should be up and running after that.

Did you mean CWM recovery? I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881. Both methods work for me. The zip file for the rom must be put it in INTERNAL SD.

I have ROM Manager and everytime I do that reboot into recovery, my phone reboots but I get rainbow screenthat doesnt goaway. So I was thinking about the 1st method but I have no clue what how how to use 3e or how to get it onto my phone can you help me?
Do not use rom manager for anything ....except to flash to clockworkmod....the easiest way is to use Odin to flash community kernel that has CWM injected into it then flash away....rom manager is a bootloop waiting to happen...

Okay! i soft bricked my phone, reflashed to stock (gingerbread 2.3.6) with heimdall, Rooted. Installed Rom manager and CWM from it.
But everytimes i try to get into recovery, it's Android system recovery <3e> and not CWM.
This is really driving me crazy.
Well rom manager is known as rom mangler for this phone.
If you are on GB use heimdall to return to stock. Then use heimdall to load a custom GB rooted kernel to get CWM on it. From there you can choose to do CM9 or etc

Great Advice = I PM the same advice .
Can only flash a custom kernel over the stock Gingerbread to get CWM, No need to flash the whole ROM.
