Here you go guys. Credit for the base goes to Whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev for KD1, I just took the tar, re-deodexed, and made it CWM Flashable with unters deodex program.
If you have the update.zip (CWM Beta1) on your sd, please upgrade to Beta2.

No, you need the Clockwork mod in order to flash the update. Check out the CWM thread and it will explain how to set it up. Once you have clockwork, all you need to do is go into the Clockwork recovery and select the zip to flash it.

Yes, you do... you place the Update.zip in the root of your SdCard and then boot into Stock Recovery and select Reinstall packages (this will install the update.zip which is CWM Recovery)(U should check the Beta2 Thread for more info)
Oh sorry, I think I misread what he was asking.

I had issues with market and any version of KD1 (Odin/Heimdall or CWM version). Found out my extra 1500mAh battery was causing me headaches. Are you running the stock battery?

+1.. package installers keeps force closing causing a reboot.. launcher restarts and i lose radio singal entirely.. i had to odin back to whites deodexed kd1
FYI
CWM Beta2 semi bricked phones, re Odin it and try Beta3
When I flashed the rom I lost root and my phone would reboot when I hit the power button to lock the screen. Reflashed whitehawks deodexed KD1 will try it again with CWM beta 3.

Full restore on gingerbread works with both froyo and gingerbread roms

To do a full restore on gingerbread just flash a bali kernel with voodoo. Then after the flash reboot recovery then restore your nandroid
EDIT: may also help on soft bricking gingerbread as long as you have gingerbread bootloaders. As you can restore to a nandroid.

Glad I scrolled through and found this...
ICBINB KH2 left me with the vanishing SD card, i was looking for a fix for that problem when I found this... at least I should be able to get back on Black Ice for now.
Followed the steps, so no clue what happened, but it did... and I couldn't get my compie to recognize the phone to Odin back like I usually would... Recovery wouldn't come up like usual either...
One 5 second read here and I'm back on Bali 3.3, and restoring my last Ice nand...
(fingers crossed, but should be good to go!)
Isn't the real question for gb "how to do a full backup?"
Sent from my SGS4G using XDA Premium App
cnote thanks for the find. Life just got a whole lot simpler!
so does Gingerbread actually run with the Bali 3.3 kernel then?
or is it just so you can use the recovery console, and you never actually boot the phone? so you would need to immediately flash a GB kernel after this?

You need to flash kg4 cwm kernel after restoring your GB nandroid. If restoring froyo, I always reflash Bali after restore. All this done in recovery. Don't let the phone boot up until you reflashed the kernel.

Yeah, I thought GB doesn't mount the system, so a GB NAND backup can't be made.
@Somairotevoli: Did you flash Bali 3.3 first, then create a backup of GB? I'm so confused on this.

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

Again, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work correctly with our phones. Whatever you need to flash, use ODIN or CWM. I'm not sure about UOT Kitchen though.
you flash UOT files though CWM, it works fine and I've done it many times.
Don't use Rom Manager.

sounds like you don't have the correct boot loaders on your phone, and you didn't flash gingerbread properly the first time around.
follow FB's directions to get your phone on a correct gingerbread build with the right boot loaders:

Raver has a great app on his ROM for CWM access..it's called Quick Boot..get it from market. Remember with GB I'd use kj1 from drhonk. Only use Bali 2.3 with froyo.

If u do that through CWM recovery then no u won't.

Kj1 would work best.. DL it through the phone if u want, move it to sd from the download folder (could be tapatalk folder depending on which browser u use) and flash through CWM . Should be pain free.

[Q] Going from Jelly Bean to GingerBread

I need help im tired of jellybean. Theres too many things not working for me and i want to go back to GingerBread. I try to flash GingerBread roms but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. Is there a way to go back or im stuck on jellybean. I even tried to flash an Icecream Sandwich rom but it just brings me back to CWM recovery. My recovery is 6.0.2.8.
You probably should just one-click to stock and start from there.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I don't think you can downgrade from an mtd ROM if you were using one. I think you will have to return to the stock 2.3.6 first, and then flash another ROM if you would like.
