To start off I have a samsung galaxy s 4g for t-mobile obviously. I was on the 2.3.7 AOSPSTYLE X rom but being the dumbass I am I flashed RaverX3X's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6.
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351783
Well I flashed it in the cwm recovery and afterwards I rebooted and I ended up with the phone stuck on the galaxy s 4g 'exclusively from T-Mobile' splash screen. I also ended up with the stock recovery because I did not read the description of this 'Rom'. Is there any way I could fix this? Please help.
as always.....odin is your friend....
also you could try to reflash it alot of times that works.... the problem i see is no one reads any more and so the forums keep gettin cluttered up with help me i dont feel like searching....tell me what to do.

If you can get it into download mode use odin and gtg's unbrick to get back to stock.

OK, I'm helping a friend with his Csouth showcase... He is rooted using the z4 root method. But i cannot seem to find a valid recovery.. And im coming from an HTC device so the whole samsung thing is alien.. I know what I'm doing but ive never owned a samsung device so I'm asking y'all... What is a recovery I can use, something other than Clockworkmod? Or if it's only Clockworkmod can y'all paste me a link to the latest version. I understand rom manager won't work. And I saw the sticky but something about flashing the recovery from recovery didn't sound right to me.. So I'm asking. Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please tell me how to just flash the clockworkmod recovery on my galaxy s 4g? Ive been researching and reading for days and have tried several different methods from several different posts on several different forums and still cant get it to work. I just want to flash the recovery and then worry about a rom and other stuff later. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

You'll need to flash a custom kernel on your phone, are you on froyo (2.2.x) or gb (2.3.x)? You can check by going to Settings > about phone
I have gb 2.3.6

Look at the guide in the first link of my signature where it talks about SGS Kernel Flasher and custom kernels. You need to be rooted.
I got from your post. Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
Now im trying to download the Valhalla Black FB Edition (Build 3) .zip file but i cant get it to download. Ive tried several different links but it just wont download. Can u post a known working link please? Im sure its probably something with my computer, but i dont know what.
If it is your computer - a different link will not help. Try restarting, clearing caches and/or another browser. I just tried the link and it worked.
OK. When I get a chance I will try that. Thanks.

Hello,
I know this problem it's nothing new. I try to explain my problem anyway because I couldn't find a solution yet.
I try to root my Samsung GT-S6802 but when I reboot the boot screen won't disappear. I find on XDA I have to use Odin, but it's hard to find the original rom, it's okay if I use a different one? Please suggest me a rom, because I'm pretty newbie at this.
Thanks.

The only thing i found for this phone besides root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759284 ) witch worked perfect for me, is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832071 just that this is indian firmware
It sounds like you have a soft brick. Maybe you should try flashing your stock firmware back using flashtool. this will make your device normal again.
Keep in mind that new roms on first boot will take longer to boot up than usual. 10-15 minutes.
I have created a guide for the x8 about getting out of a soft brick HERE
Even though it isn't the same phone, try it.
Please thank me if you appreciate my effort to help.
Try to odin maybe helps.
i think is better to go to the store where you bought it and ask for a new phone or service couse it should be free.... beeing a new phone

Ultimately what I am trying to accomplish is to install SlimBean ICS on my friends Froyo Galaxy. (I am a Motorola Guy)
From my understanding you need to go to Ginger first. Easy enough, use Kies.
Next I need to install CM, this is where I am getting lost. Do I need to install 7 (GB) before I can install 9 (ICS)?
How do I install CM on this device? Totally lost because there are so many extra steps.
Lastly there is install SlimBean once CM is installed which is easy enough via CWM.
First question is, are you using a Galaxy or Galaxy S 4G? They're different.
Second, skip KIES, use a one-click. Flash once, reboot, Linda, Flash with bootloaders.
Then you can move on to the fun of ICS.
Please remove the battery from the phone and verify that the model for the phone is either
SGH-T959V
or
SGH-T959W
Those are the only phones the files on this forum are meant for! Reply with the model here so we can direct you to the right forum if your friend's phone is different than the Galaxy S 4G

This should get you on GB and rooted with a custom recovery. I believe at this point you can just flash slim bean ICS.
Always make sure you have another ROM you can flash to if the one you want doesn't work. Also make sure you have a backup

That's the one I was using but it didn't explain going beyond gb custom

After using the One Click Heimdall just get to recovery. If you have cwm 5 then you're good to go, just flash the ROM. Search our wiki on how to get to recovery.

Thanks everyone for all the help and clarification. His phone is making me really appreciate how easy flashing a ROM on my phone is even with a locked bootloader.
