are you running a stock deodexed rom?

if he said stock rooted im going to guess prob a no

can you get into recovery or download mode at all?

im on the stock one, whatever came with the phone, yes i can get in recovery and download mode

you need cwm final from krylon360 u can find it in the bible and also you will need the modified recovery file and a deodexed rom u can get from the bible follow the directions and then u can have your kernel

the update zip goes on the root of the sd card
meaning not in a folder dont extract it just copy it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
after you odin according to the noobs guide to odin in the bible,
go to krylons final cwm. his directions are pretty straightforward. i used root explorer to move the recovery file where it needed to be and placed the update.zip file on the root of your sd, 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.
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 because it was what i started with, but you HAVE to check out team acids new roms!
i would also dl bali 3.3 kernel as well. place all of the zip files you download into the root of your sd card..
once that is done, i restarted my phone in recovery by 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. choose your cwm flashable rom and install that one. then when that is done, went back and went to advanced and rebooted recovery and flashed my bali 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 boot animation. 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 bali and that the rom is correct.
you can flash a modem too 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. you do nothing with that update.zip. once you restart, and you see that you have bali 3+, you can delete that update.zip because it is no longer needed.
make sure you read through the original threads too before flashing.

gotcha, so all i need is the update.zip file? do i need the binary file?

yay! workssss, thanks everybody

[Q] What to install ?

Hi,
Im pretty new to Droid phones and I have had my Droid Charge for a couple of months now. Its pretty much untouched and factory stock verison. I been reading alot of the post and some it can be confusing. My question is coming from stock verison what would be the ideal and easiest upgrade?
I see alot of news on Honeycomb,Gummycharge etc.. what would be my best bet and what are the advantages chosen one over the other thanks in advance

Not at first because it's going to be released a CWM recovery flashable zip. If you go to the Charge developer forum and Odin over the latest CWM recovery by Imnuts, you will be able to install it easily when it is released.

So basically I will need to install a previous Odin verison with CWM and when this comes out I just install the CWM as a recovery is that correct ?

Close. You don't need to install the previous version (1.9.1) but you can if you want to. You just have to Odin over the latest CWM recovery (this will root your phone). When the 2.0 zip is released then you just place it on your SD card, enter recovery by holding volume up + home + power until the SAMSUNG logo flashes twice and then choose to install zip from SD card. Make sure to do a factory reset, and wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache (under advanced) before flashing the zip in recovery. You may not understand all of that now, but when you're in recovery mode it will make sense.

You don't need to touch Altered Beast unless you want it. I'm fairly certain that using Odin to flash CWM will provide root (I haven't done it in a long while). If it does not, after flashing CWM, just install this zip from your SD card in recovery and that will provide root.

No problem chief. Feel free to post back with any question.

If you are on the stock kernel you will need to boot directly to recovery and flash the SU .zip after odin CMW, or else the recovery will be overwritten by the stock kernel.
Your best bet is to wait till GC FE 2.0 is released, then odin CWM, and boot direct to recovery and flash the 2.0 .zip. then you are done in a couple steps.

That'll work too.

so now the waiting game begins lol

[Q] Splash screen only: now what?

Haven't decided whether to flash a new ROM, but I wanted CWM recovery so I could wipe battery stats to improve battery performance like I did on my MyTouch 3g. I rooted my Galaxy S 4g and followed the "[RECOVERY]CWM FINAL for the SGS4G" instructions exactly. I downloaded the recovery file and used File Expert to place it in the /system/bin folder. I didn't delete anything (I DID save a copy of the original file), just let it overwrite. I downloaded the update.zip file and placed it in the root of my SD card.
I rebooted and now I can only get to the splash screen, whether I just power it up or hold down both volume buttons and the power button to try to get into recovery. I can get into download mode so I downloaded Odin and it recognizes my phone. I'm pretty sure I can restore from here and will look for instructions on the site, but I would rather just restore the original recovery file first (if it's possible) to see if that works.
Question: Can I use Odin to restore just the original recovery file? If not, is there another way it can be done considering that I can only get into download mode?

You can't (to my knowledge) use ODIN to deal with individual files like that. You could download the android SDK from www.android.com, install it, install only the 'tools' module (else you download and install all of the different sdk versions for the platform as well as other stuff), and use adb to move the file back into place.
I'm sure someone here probably has a mo-better way, though.

I was spending too much time on this so I decided to flash another ROM. GB ROMs gave me the rainbow bootloop so I flashed stock FROYO (thanks, krylon360) successfully. I'll worry about GB, rainbows, and bootloaders later when I have more time, but I still want CWM recovery. Any ideas as to why it didn't work (see OP)?

To get rid of rainbow screen just odin the kg4 leak. Then Odin one of Dr honks gb kernels to get cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

GB ROMs will do that if you don't first flash one with the correct boot loaders. KG4 was the first GB ROM to have the right ones.
I'm not sure what happened with your initial attempt to get CWM working, though. I've never attempted it that way; I've always flashed one of drhonk's GB kernels.

Kies Failure

After painstaking deliberation, they had reached the decision to eat gingerbread. Cautious and deliberate by nature, they opted to install stock 2.3.6 using Kies, presumably the safest choice. KB5 had been having a hard time connecting to the pc via usb with debugging active - no choice was given how to connect to pc, and Kies was not recognizing the phone. Finally bypassing the usb hub allowed Kies to recognize the device, and after a long download, a usb error message flashed up and process failed. Removed phone battery and reboot, all is well but SCREW KIES
Odin from now on

Probably the most creative thing I've seen here all night. Kudos to you my friend!

Downloaded the stock ODIN version of GB 2.3.6 KJ6 .tar here to flash via ODIN but phone will not connect via usb at all now. I think I reverted it's firmware back to the paleolithic era somehow. Could someone share the link the newest ODIN? I have v1.85 and I think also 4.03?
Unless anyone has any ideas, looks like CWM may be my only chance. How can I upgrade firmware if the method used to update is inoperable? Whenever I go into download mode it will not connect with USB. Instead windows says
"USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached tho this compter has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For help with this problem, click here."
Great bricked in a factory reset version of kb5 ugh. And this all happened because I tried to use stupid Kies!

Son of a ginger biscuit I figured out why it would not connect it was the 6 FOOT CORD I had hooked up for convenience it WILL NOT GO INTO ODIN OR KIES without the original 3' cord wow

Don't know if it was related to the Kies failure or not but now I am up and running though I cannot flash any .zip with cwm, says signature not verified, and I cannot find a toggle, I have 2.3.6 running now, rooted with super one click zerg, recovery 3e, is there a difference between "rom manager" and "cwm"?? How do I fix this I'd like to install the custom debloater .zip... upgraded from kb5

Definitely stay away from ROM Manager, from what I've read. You're getting that signature verification error probably because the phone now has standard recovery vs. CWM. That's an assumption on my part, though. You would have to ODIN one of Drhonk's modded kernels that comes with voodoo/cwm/root to get CWM installed. Within the standard recovery there is not a place to toggle the signature verification.
Considering you're on KJ6 now, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 and grab drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Put it into the PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then you'll have CWM.

I had the same issue when I first started. ROM Manager is an app used to download & install custom ROMs, make backups, etc., but it does not work correctly on our phones. "CWM" (as used in the context of the SGS4G) is the custom recovery menu we install to do basically the same things. Anyway, follow stephen_w's instructions to install a custom kernel and that will solve your issues.

Awesome response stephen_w. A link! So much info out there I'm compiling a small database but when I need something it's usually back to search!
I was up and running KJ6, trying to install .zip files from root of sd card using cwm. Did not work - error was E:\ signature verification failed
So, decide to ODIN back to KB5, and try to load cwm, upgrade via cwm, and see if there was a glitch there. Did not work. Upon ODINING back to KB5, download screen has different look, and phone bootloops at Galaxy S logo. I'm about to ODIN flash 2.3.6 again and hope that it works....
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded. CWM did not recognize su.apk in the root and was therefore less functional. I fixed permissions and the error went away, but many icons were still greyed out. I wanted to bring back my apps/data from rom manager backup, but my recovery would not work. It would not open the .zip files, and there was no toggle to enable/disable signature verify. This may have been because I did not buy the pay version of CWM, or I don't know how to use it properly. Do you have to somehow flash the recovery to enable CWM? Is there a particular recovery designed for KJ6 SGS4G??
Also, what is the "bootloader update" option for in ODIN?

Weird; I've not had the signature verification error with CWM, only with the standard recovery.
When you went back to KB5 you went from a Gingerbread (GB) ROM to a Froyo ROM. Froyo & GB require different boot loaders so if the ROM you flashed did not have both boot loaders, then you get stuck in a boot loop. Going back to KJ6 will probably get you going again.
This all started because Kies failed (presumably due to length of cord) the KJ6 from Raver that I ODIN'd in I THOUGHT was all stock actually came with CWM and super user preloaded.

You might have problems recovering to GB ROMs. This is due to an error in CWM for GB. The problem prevents the /system partition from unmounting. From what I've been told, you have to flash back to a Froyo ROM, like Bali, to do the recovery then flash back to the GB ROM afterward. Not sure if that's your problem here, though, as I've never used ROM Manager.

I've never paid for a version of CWM. I've always used one of drhonk's modded kernels to get CWM. Installing the KJ1 kernel I mentioned earlier should do that for you.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My best ODIN advice: Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked and what should not. I've not used the "Phone Bootloader Update" feature. Don't go anywhere near the "Phone EFS Clear", either. I've a feeling that would wipe out your IMEI and other things.
See if you can get Raver's ODIN Stock KJ6 to install, then install drhonk's KJ1 kernel. Once done, reboot into recovery mode and see if it is CWM Red recovery, which is should be. Note the version number at the top and report it back here.
If all of that works well and the right version of CWM is there, then maybe we need to examine what ZIP you're trying to flash. Maybe it's a corrupt file.

Thank you very much, succesfully flashed GB 2.3.6 KJ6, succesfully flashed Drhonks KJ1, had a hard time entering recovery boot mode
RECOVERY BOOT MODE 3 BUTTON SGS4G 959V
HOLD: vol up, vol dn, power
RELEASE: power
RELEASE: vol up, vol dn
Disabled voodoo and I'm about to load up busy box, (CWM i.e. rom manager???) per the instructions......
UPDATE 20:02 ownloaded "rom manager", re-enabled VOODOO, rebooting. I think I get what's going on here. The file system is being reformatted / partitioned every time voodoo is enabled/disabled. I'm assuming the enabled mode is ext4 partitioning. However, cwm must be installed during fat32 mode, thus the reasoning for enable/disable voodoo. Can't wait to try this out, is it really faster than stock KJ6?? Love the look and feel of the rom already!

Yeah, since being on GB I've been unable to get into recovery unless I use an app like Quick Boot or using ADB from the Android SDK.
Rom Manager and CWM, to my knowledge, are different animals. Good luck getting it going; it sounds like your 95% of the way there.

Heck yea workin good now to restore those apps I lost and debloat and play with boot animations!!!
UPDATE: Just also flashed via CWM .zip the debloater file, SWEET
Bloatware remover flashed with cwm works awesome, just browse to find the .zip doesn't even need to be in root dir
So far no noticeable deficiencies and without even installing app killer I have 165 used and 343 megs of ram free!!

ROM manager doesn't work on the SGS4G. Your best bet right now is titanium backup, or flashing the bali kernel for 2.2 if you want to make a full backup using cwm recovery.

was getting a littler annoyed with the same Qs over and over again lol
but you should include Heimdall as an option since its just one click and it has
the bootloader option
include this video in the bigenning too

lol but good guide nonetheless

1) You should make it clear that bootloaders should ONLY be flashed if the user experiences rainbows in recovery. Unnecessary bootloader flashes should be avoided.
2) You can flash just the bootloaders without flashing the whole damn UCLB3 release

qkster's Heimdall one-click takes 4 hours for me to download (~15kB/s ); it was faster for me to do it through Odin. I'll add a method for Heimdall soon.

Stuck in recovery boot loop. After flashing UCLB3 through odin it shows a few errors. Tried flashing twice so far with no luck.
Using entropy's file got me into cm9.

Heimdall one-click including UCLB3 bootloaders and jt1134's ICS recovery image:

I flashed it on top of my current ICS configuration and it still works fine. Any feedback from GB or Froyo users would be appreciated. You still have to flash the ICS system ROM and gapps over it.

Whats wrong with rogers bootloaders? Ive never had to flash bootloaders and ive never had rainbow issues.

I found a very nice video on Heimdall. I've never had to use Odin or Heimdall so I was hesitant, this makes it look a lot easier.

I did the ODIN one as per OP and it works like a charm. I now have CM9 on my Infuse!!!

Nothing at all. That's why I said that people should only flash BLs if they have rainbows in recovery.
In fact you guys are lucky - I believe you have Gingerbread bootloaders without the infamous flash counter. It sucks that dumped bootloaders never seemed to want to flash.

@threi: I was working under the assumption that AT&T GB bootloaders were preferred, since jt used the AT&T kernel to develop the ROM. It might actually be a better solution to use an older GB bootloader because you don't have the Download Mode flash counter and the downgrade process isn't as tricky (from what I hear). Either way, I changed the OP, thanks for the heads up

stuck
i have an infuse sghi997 and im trying to get cm9 working, so far i have flashed cm9 threw cwm, cm9 booted fine, back to cwm flash gapps, boot into recovery every time, try wipe data/cache restore backup, no good, flash with odin to 2.3.6 deodexed with red cwm voodoo lagfix and can restore backup fine, ok maybe i was on 2.2 bootloaders, but the 2.3.6 rom would bump me to gb bootloaders, so i try cm9 once agian, boots fine, flash gapps and loop agian, have to odin back, am i missing something?
