[Q] DEAR GOD please help. Rooting, changing OS, Downloading ROM.

Ok I have been at this for a few hours. I have upgraded the original Samsung Infuse 4G HD's firmware to gingerbread version something or other but it is a leaked release. Sooo now I'd like to root the phone and put a ROM on it. I downloaded everything I believe I need. (Again I have been at this for awhile) I have SOC and KiesMini as well as full Kies. I have downloaded Titanium Backup, ROM manager, and Superuser to the phone. I went to do a root on SOC and it will get to step 6 and freeze. I've read a few things and gathered that I need to download the drivers for the phone again and restart root process. Well it's been and hour and a half and I can find the damn drivers anywhere on the web. I have repeatedly unplugged and replugged the phone to the computer and let it download the drivers. Kies and KiesMini both are unable to connect to the phone. Scratch that Mini connects but doesn't recognize the device, my guess is that it does not have the original firmware on it, then again I don't see how this would stop the program from recognizing the phone itself seeing as though this was just a firmware update. I'm semi new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.
Please if you have a full guide or step by step instructions or just know where the hell to get the drivers online I'd be very appreciative.
Also if this is the wrong thread section, let me know I'll be happy to move it. I believe I am in the right place though.
Thank you,

If I understand correctly, you already rooted your phone once. Then flashed one of the gingerbread leaks and lost root?
I don't think any of the normal root methods will work. I believe you need to flash a certain kernel to get root back.
Or just use GTGs method to get back to stock. Then normal root methods will work.

if all else fails try superoneclick. thats what i used. and once you get it rooted again flash the MIUI mod to your phone. its a great ROM, i highky recommend it. anyways i agree with the guy above. you may need to find a way to flash a different kernal. let us know how it goes.

Imo, i would flash back to stock with with GTG's unbrick... Either flash community kernel to get red CWM or do SOC to get root, download CWM Rom Manager from market and flash CWM Recovery thru there, make sure to choose "Galaxy s i9000" and NOT the MTD. Do it twice just in case or thrice for sure. You should be able flash any ROM through there or reboot to recovery. This has worked for me multiple times. Good luck.
Here is a link from @misterjunky in the wiki thread for the usb drivers:

I would suggest using GTG's back to stock package, then re-root, flash the leak (if you still want it), and flash Entropy's DD for root, then flash back to the stock kernel.
Reply if you need any help with this, I'll try to reply during school, if I don't, someone else will, or I will after school.

If you need root with gb I assume you flashed a stock kernel. The board elders have stated you can't root gb through superoneclick. That hack was patched. You need to flash a rooted kernel and then flash back to stock if you want stock or just leave it with custom kernel. Read through the uckj2 (I think) thread in development. Linuxbozo gave perfect instructions.

It's good that the information is finally getting passed around. Sorry but root it's now done from the kernel end. It's the last backdoor in but Samsung makes it easy on the user end, only problem now is ya gotta wait for developers to compile kernels with initramfs mods.
what you need is.
1. Drivers, Samsung.com infuse product support section. No need for kies.
2. A kernel that roots, entropy has a good one with wifi and sd compatibility.
3. A flash tool such as Odin or heimdall and dependencies. (visual c++ redistributable package from Microsoft download center for heimdall)
4. (optional) a stock uckj2/4/ kernel if you want hdmi to work.
If you use Odin, the custom kernel that will root you needs to be in a ".tar" archive. You put it in the pda slot. After first boot you will have root and have the option to flash back to a kernel with hdmi. once rooted this can be done with sgs kernel flasher if you can't find the .tar version of the stock kernel, you can extract the zimage from the original Odin package and zip it or .rar it and put it on the sd card to be flashed in kernel flasher.
If you use heimdall (my personal preference) you will extract the zimage out of what ever archive it is in. it may be .zip .tar .rar it can even be cwm flashable. You open the tab labeled "flash" load the infuse.pit that gtg made (found with the unbrick package) then click the "add" button select "kernel" for the partition and then browse for the zimage for the root kernel.
Same process to go back to the hdmi kernel for heimdall. Or you can use kernel flasher like I explained above.
No need to go back to stock or wipe data for kernel flashing. That's just overkill and a waist of time.

Awesome instructions but I think it's worth mentioning (and maybe that's why you DIDN'T mention it actually) that you need a pit to flash anything in the front end but unless you WANT to repartition, you should make sure that check box is UNCHECKED after you select the pit.

Yeah don't repartition!. It's potential for disaster, better left for situations whet you have all the partitions to flash and the phone won't boot after trying without repartition. The pit is just for partition mapping in the new front end. I guess it's designed to work with devices that may have different partitioning as well

This is true. 1.1 works great and doesn't need a pit file. It is also easier if you never used it before. It kinda explains itself.

Sorry I haven't responded until now, I've been incredibly busy. Anywho, so I went ahead and flashed back to stock. So now it is exactly how it should be when I bought it. I run SOC and it gets to running pneuter and stops. I've waited an hour on it and it won't continue. Any suggestions?

Hi
I am using unrooted Infuse phone. Recently i have updated it to official gingerbread UCKL2 through samsung Kies mini.

I posted a reply in the other thread

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.

I thought Raver's ODIN version of KJ6 was pure stock. I didn't think it had CWM or Superuser.
I wanted to bring back my apps/data from rom manager backup, but my recovery would not work.

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.
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.

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.
Also, what is the "bootloader update" option for in ODIN?
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

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!!
I'm about to try to backup progs using rom manager, but when I click "backup/restore" it tells me I have to flash clockwork mod, which I'm pretty sure is already flashed??

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.

[AT&T] [ROM] [UCLB3] Heimdall One-Click Return to Stock + Easy CWM Installation

[ROM] [2.3.6] Heimdall One-click Back-To-Stock UCLB3
Introduction:
This package will install ATT's SGH-I997 GingerBread UCLB3 to your Infuse 4g.
This package is intended for use on AT&T Network, however it may work with any network if you reset APN. (I have no experience with other networks)
This package includes:
Repartitioning: Repartition to stock UCLB3
Reloading: IBL/PBL, PARAM, SBL, SBL2, Kernel, Recovery, FactoryFS and modem
formatting:Cache and DBdata
This package does not wipe:
EFS(Where your serial number and carrier information is stored)
Data(where your market apps are stored)
SDCard (where your pictures are stored)
How can you use this package?
1. To cleanly install the latest ATT Infuse UCLB3 Gingerbread leak. No hassle One-Click. Then enjoy the lastest leak of Infuse GB.
2. To Restore your phone to factory state.
3. To Restore your phone from boot loops, Samsung Logo, Soft Brick - non-hardware related failures from bad flashes, borked partitions or mismatch voodoo partitions. (I suspect many users will use it for this purpose)
4. To Get GingerBread Boot Loaders and get rid the the rainbow color recoveries when you try to flash ICS/CM9/CM10/JB
Scenario #1: Oh, gosh! I would love to have the latest GB leak from AT&T! How to I do that? What in the world is Odin? Ain't it some mythological Norse deity?
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #2: I think I did something to my phone. It's not working right. My wifi is dropping like a leaky faucet. My Market is not working. I hate my phone! I wish it was like factory.
Heimdall 1 click - done!
Scenario #3: Oh crap! I just #@#% in my pants! I bricked my phone. OMG!!! I'm stuck on SAMSUNG logo! I'm boot looping! I lost recovery! Help me!!!
Heimdall 1 click - done.
How to INSTALL:
Update to the latest java: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Run as admin.
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and (8.21.2012:edit for clarification), try flashing it again. Use a different USB port, use a different usb data cord.
7 Try flashing again until it is successful. Once it goes through correctly, flash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.

Recovery Kernel
RECOVERY:
(6/4/2012 - READ POST #3 ALSO)
After you have flashed the UCLB3, some of you may want to have Red ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery to flash another ROM.
Put your phone back into DOWNLOAD mode after your phone has booted up.
Flash this package. It is Entropy512's DD kernel. It will boot your phone completely.
Once the phone has booted into stock ROM, use the three fingers technique to get into recovery.
When in CWM:
I recommend the following to get the cleanest flash that has not failed me.
1. Wipe data/factory reset.
2. Wipe Cache.
3. Go to Advance: wipe dalvik cache.
4 Go back and into Mount and Storage: format system, format data, format cache.
5. Go back to main and flash your ROM.
Recovery Mode: Power off, hold both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. Samsung logo should come on. Let go only the power button, Keep holding the volumes buttons for 12-15 seconds and let go.
ENTROPY512's 4.4.2012 kernel.

Zen's Kernels for RECOVERY
This post contains links to Zen's Kernel Packed in Heimdall-1-click.
These can be installed in DOWNLOAD MODE.
They can be flashed just like Entropy's DD.
How are these different? Here is Zen Arcade's Thread:
In essence, there are 2 cores. A16 and B14.
The A16 can be overclocked to 1600mhz.
The B14 can be overclocked to 1400mhz.
Both are custom kernels design to run Gingerbread on your Infuse. They have clockworkmod, cifs, MHL HDMI output and many other features.
Check out Zen Arcade's original thread.
How are these used?
1. If you have a stock GB UCLB3 and you want to root it, flash this in download mode. Nothing else is needed. After that, you can flash my root pack, HERE.
2. If you want to flash a custom ROM. After you have odin or heimdall a GB stock package with bootloaders, and you need CWM recovery, you can flash any one of these kernels and then boot into recovery and then flash your ROM. You don't need to root anything or 3e anything. Just flash the kernel, boot into recovery and flash the ROM.
**To eliminate any voodoo or no lagfix file system problem, I recommend that you locate on your SDCARD the /Voodoo folder or files and delete them. Then the kernel will auto convert your system to EXT4 VOODOO LAGFIX ON.**
I suspect many SOD's are caused by lagfix mismatch.
3. If you want to OC or UV your CPU/GPU, you can also use these kernels on whatever GB ROM you are running.

Nice to have. This is plain stock and not rooted/deodexed version...correct?

Hay the heimdall also i recall had a one click Root and clock work installer as well. Any chance we can make that for this UCLB3 as well ?
BTW im adding this to the infuse thread

STOCK ATT UCLB3. Factory with RE-partition.
Consider it as a soft unbrick heimdall substitute to Adam's UCKJ4.
Also as an easy installation for complete stock official ATT's ROM
Once people learn how to use Heimdall, they will appreciate the simplicity of the one click by Adam Outler.

People use hemidall? whoa...

6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.

either one is ok.
if you dl mine,
run it. if it doesn't boot on the first uclb3 flash, flash it again the second round with bootloader check.
it should boot into uclb3.
then use entropy kernel to get cwm. follow instructions in post #2. the flash what you what.
it can't get any easier.

[ODIN][KERNEL] Odin Kernel and Recovery Repository - Infuse 4G

ABOUT
------------------------
This is a collection of popular kernel and recovery combinations for the Infuse 4G in Odin tar.md5 format. Extract these rar packages in a program like 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 in Odin.
Please be sure that the kernel / recovery image that you flash is intended for the rom that you plan to use. For more information and support for each kernel, please visit the appropriate thread for that kernel. Please don't ask questions about the kernels or report kernel related bugs in this thread.
If there is another kernel that you'd like to see in this thread, let me know!
PACKAGES
------------------------
GINGERBREAD KERNELS
Stock UCLB3 Kernel / Stock UCLB3 Recovery
ODIN-UCLB3-GB-stock-zImage.rar
Note: Ensure that Voodoo lagfix is disabled before flashing the stock UCLB3 kernel. Also, this kernel should most likely only be used with UCLB3 based roms. If you have issues seeing your external SD card after using this kernel, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ below.

INSTALL
------------------------
1.) Download and extract the desired kernel package from the section above.
2.) If needed, download the Odin exe HERE.
3.) If needed, install the latest Samsung USB drivers. You can get these by installing Samsung Kies, which can be found HERE.
4.) Place phone in download mode.
5.) Open the Odin exe; if your phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
7.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
8.) You're finished. If the progress window in Odin is green and reads "PASS!", then you have successfully flashed the kernel / recovery package.
FAQ
------------------------
1.) I flashed the stock UCLB3 kernel and now I can't access my external sd card. How can I fix this?
In UCLB3 based roms, if you flash the stock UCLB3 kernel after using a custom kernel, you will most likely have trouble seeing your external sdcard. To fix this, use Root Explorer (or a similar app) to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab. In Root Explorer, browse to /system/etc and choose "Mount R/W" to gain write permission to the directory. Open vold.fstab in the built in text editor. Change the mmc2 in the last line to mmc1. Save and exit. Reboot, and you will regain use of your external sd card.

We're all set!
Thanks, Jesse.
Note to any user:
If you are on a GB ROM and lost recovery or in a boot loop, one attempt would be to flash just the GB kernel to get back into CWM recovery. You may not need to flash the entire ROM.
Likewise, if you are on a ICS CM9 ROM and lost recovery or in boot loop, you can also try to flash just the ICS kernel to get back to CWM recovery.
If you can't use Odin, use the Heimdall's. If you can't use the Heimdalls, use the Odin.
edit: (after thoughts for new users)
Also: If you are on any stock GB build and flash one of the GB kernels, you don't need to perform any superoneclick, modded 3e etc. You can proceed directly into CWM recovery and flash with you want. If you want only root, check out jscott's root thread or my root thread.

check my sig. Kernel thread has Xda direct download of the cwm flash, from which the kernel can be extracted and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.
You can do this once you have a non stock kernel in place.
All this assumes gb, btw.

Frustrated
Somebody please help me. I put my wife's infuse back to stock (UCLB3) First I couldn't root it. Then I flashed the stock rooted with Odin. I proceded to install CWM with the 3e file, and ROM Manager. That didn't work. I also tried to flash this kernel (UCLB3) to see if it would give me CWM... Nothing! I am close to loosing my mind. I could do this **** all day long on my Epic 4G but for some reason this phone is kicking my ass.
One thing I'd like to point out is when i power down my phone and try to go into recovery the option to "reinstall packages" does not show. That is the only thing different i've noticed than all the videos and tuturials I found on the thread. Somebody please help me.

Okay, where you lose me is "the 3e file and ROM Manager." Sounds like you're not following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Make sure, first of all, that you're flashing this one, especially if you're flashing back from CM10. Flash in Odin following jscott30's instructions to the letter. To add CWM, download one of those kernels. Open up the zip file and pull out the zimage and put it on your sdcard (the internal one). Download SGS Kernel Flasher. In SGS Kernel Flasher, choose to flash the zimage you just put on your phone. It will ask to reboot. Reboot and Bob's you're uncle! You have CWM.
Finally, I feel bad for posting here because the dev forums are being overrun with Q&A questions like these. So, apologies to everyone else. However, I've been there and wanted to help you out. In future, please use the Q&A forum if you have a help question.

Wow whizz, thank u very much for the help. I know some moderators would get mad at what u dis. But man I was literarily loosing my mind. I evwn rhrough the phone at my wife cause I was so iritated. I folowed what u said. Extracted zimage and flashed with the kernel app off the market. All I gotta say is thank u very much. Now wheres that thank u button?

1. Not going to happen with JB or ICS roms.
2. GB (and Froyo) roms - make sure to disable voodoo lagfix from CWM recovery, reboot and allow conversion process to complete. Then flash a stock kernel using Odin, Heimdall, or SGS kernel flasher. You will lose CWM recovery and some ADB capabilities.
Good luck...

How do I update my kernel to 3.0?
Sent from my Infuse 4G
Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM

[ROM BML GB 2.3.6] HebrewBarebone

What is it ?
Plain BML stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 AntonX Barebone ROM.
Deodexed, so can be applied with tweaks.
Fully added Hebrew translation (in addition to English), applied with Right-To-Left tweak (when needed).
Debloated : WiFi Calling, T-mobile my acount and my device, Talkback, ThinkDroid Office, Android Keyboard (put Samsung keyboard instead), Voice dialer.
Added : Audio DSP Manager, Memo, Sidekick KD1 modem, ICS boot animation.
Optional Odexer script attached.
Why ?
If you speak Hebrew and you want the latest stock firmware for SGH-T959V with full Hebrew support and UI, this is the ROM for you.
To get even faster results flash the odexer script right after the ROM and you'll get your ROM odexed.
It should be more stable, clean and reliable than HebrewValhalla.
Oh, and WiFi tethering, TV Out, soft keys - all work...
How to apply
Requires BML file system with GB bootloaders.
If you're on MTD file system (CM7/ICS/JB) or Froyo - use Heimdall One Click back to stock with Root and flash via CWM (followed by the odexer script).
Please note : if you booted to the deodexed ROM without flashing the odexer script later
and you want to odex the ROM now - wipe dalvik cache before applying the odexer.

Tried to flash your rom like this :
1. flashed stock kg4 via odin
2. rebooted
3. Flashed AntonX 1.1.3 kernel via odin
4. Rebooted while partition were converted
5. got into cwm and flashed your rom
Wifi does not work. Tried it AT LEAST 3 times.
Please advise,
Thanks
Update : also tried it with the KJ6 you posted on iandroid and the wifi still doesnt work
The wifi DOES WORK with stock rom
Update #2 : flashed antonx 1.1.3 barebone rom with the rtl patch i kept from while ago and the wifi works
BTW after flashing the Heimdall package - in it's CWM menu you cant delete dalvik cache (it like fast reboots/restes the CWM mwnu)

Just checking... have you tried flashing the rom again after wifi fails?

Hi
Yes, But not on top of the non wifi working rom, but of fresh stock rom installation

Reflash it on the non-wifi working. Sometimes the wifi module doesn't flash quite right the first time, and it takes another go. Since everything else basically sticks around, as long as you don't wipe between your non-wifi-working and the reflash, sometimes that makes it work... when that happens, it usually ends up being that your recovery turned off the system mount before it actually was done. Oops.

Hi Fish
I have been using this ROM for weeks. You are doing things wrong. Leave Odin aside.
Use Heimdall package posted in OP (verify everything works) and just flash the ROM (you can skip the Voodoo lagfix procedure, it's automatic).
It will all be to your satisfactory.

Ok Itzik,
Although i did it, I will do it now once again and will let you know wazzup.
Update : After flashing heimdall - wifi does not work Will try to flash some other stock or find other rom as a base
Update 2 : I give up for now.I'll try to make the cm9.1 work since it's really frustrating to me and I can mess too much with the phone and miss sms and calls. maybe will try it late at night in one of the upcoming days.
Thank you

Hi Fish
OK, we know now that the ROM is not the problem. I'll tell you what you can do; try to remove the battery, press the power button for 10 seconds and then leave phone untouched for 15 minutes. Return the battery and get to download mode.
Now make a 2 steps Heimdall. The one by Lumin (stock unrooted) and the AntonX kernel Heimdall package. Verify that you have WiFi and flash this ROM (followed by the odexer). Good luck!

Well....What i did is :
1. Flashed stock KG4 2.3.6 rom via odin
2. rebooted system
3. Flashed Antonx 1.1.3 Kernel via odin
4. Rebooted
5. Flashed via CWM one after the other : anotnx deodexed 1.13 rom AND 0.93 hebfix patch itzik2sh made a while ago which i kept
Now it's on antonx 1.1.3 rom + hebrew support and wifi WORKS

Hi Fish
You keep doing things not according to instructions and what you post here is not even this ROM.
This ROM is full UI Hebrew enabled, already includes RTL fix and I do not recommend using Odin any more.
You can now take a nandroid backup and flash this ROM (and odexer), otherwise I don't see the relevance of this post.
