I recently used bhundven's one click back to stock because of cm7 issues. I've tried flashing ICBINB I get Linda converting but it boot loops. Since i'm on stock I don't have cwm recovery to flash.where should I start?
Install a kernel with CWM in it. The list of custom kernels is in my guide, linked in my signature

I flashed this rom recently and everything was working fine, but I got stuck at bootloop after flashing the kernel using sgs flasher. So I flashed the non rooted version of this leak using odin. Now I can't root my phone using SOC. How can I root it? Would flashing the zImage from this rom using odin work? Any help would be appreciated.
There is no way to root the stock kernel...that's why I made a rooted version...to flash the stock kernel you have to disable voodoo lagfix in recovery....I posted that in op

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Weird thing, I read that part but couldn't find voodoo on my CWM. Anyway I guess I'm gonna stock back to UCKD5 or something and then root/3e/CWM on top of it and later flash your rom.
Thanks a lot for the rom! Love UCKL2 so far!!!

To be able to root the official (non rooted) leaked GB roms, you just flash a custom kernel like Entropy's daily driver using Heimdall or Odin. Then, you have to install su and Superuser either manually with adb or with a CWM flashable zip. It's really not too hard to do. Once it's rooted, you just flash the stock kernel again for working video, etc. That's how I do it anyway.

Ok I just find out that I can't seems to flash any BML rom except for MTD roms (CM9, cMUIU, AOKP, etc).
I have gone searching for answer and I'm not sure if the problem seems on just my phone. However, at one point, the first time that I have flashed a BML rom ,Valhalla Black, worked fine. Then I did Odin back to stock to KJ6 and from there everything seems to failed to flash. On previous post, I tried to flash Antonx Barebone and failed. I made sure that the mount on the system read "unmount system" then I went ahead and try the others and none seems to able to flash, I tried ICBINB v2, Unnamed and both failed as well.. then I went ahead and tried CM9 and voila it works.
I used T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click to get it back to stock, reflashed with bootloader checked, then installed SGS kerner flasher to flash sms-T959V-KJ6-v0.1.1-rc1.zip and everything failed when I try to flash those BML roms.
Any one has an idea?
The One-Click you used is not rooted. Go back to the One-Click thread and flash AntonX's kernel that way. You need to be rooted for SGS Kernel Flasher. You were not rooted if you did the steps you posted. Flash the kernel then flash whatever ROM in CWM afterwards.
You could go lumins way with getting root access or just use superoneclick that's what I've done many times before or just run the gremlin remover

Well I skip the part to mention that I did root my phone.. I did manage to install any kernel but once I get into recovery to install the rom, it just fails.

Like I mention on my OP I was able to flash any MTD roms, the BML roms are the one giving me problems... they get stock in the Samsung galaxy s 4g logo

Then run the Gremlin Remover and try again. Use a different USB port than the one you used Heimdall with. You will be rooted and have CWM. Then try flashing a BML ROM again
I did used gremlin remover try to flash icbinb and it fails...

Finally after trying and trying numerous time... I almost gave up on it, I was finally able to flash BML roms. I did FB's [ODIN+CWM] GB Ext4 Starter Pack and from there, I flashed Antonx's Barebone and finally it boot up. I tried the others roms and it work just fine.
Thanks everyone.
Just installed ROM Manager (5.5.23) and flashed CWM Recovery (3.2.0.0)
Before I try and flash a new ROM, tried to use ROM Manager to backup current ROM.
Getting error message:
Failed to verify whole-file signature
Signature Verification Failed
Installation Aborted
Samsung Galaxy S 4G (sgh-t959v)
Froyo 2.2.1
Kernel 2.6.32.9

Frankly, I think I'm way out of my league...the more I read, the more confused I get.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
I also have Titanium Backup installed if that means anything.

Thanks, TwitchyEye...
I've read the articles...I'm still learning.
Before I experiment with installing any custom ROM's or
upgrading to GB, I wanted to make sure I had my existing
ROM backed up.
Apparently, I am unable to boot into CWM recovery.
If this helps, the recovery installed on the SD card is:
clockworkmod/download/download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-galaxys4g.zip
I copied this file to my computer & unzipped it. It unzipped into 28 files, none of which was an
image file.
As I said before, maybe I'm way out of my league.
Thanks for the reply.
All you need to do is flash a rooted kernel with cwm already in it. Read the second post in lumin's guide. I think you are confused about how recovery works on this phone. It's in the kernel.
OK...as I understand it, I have to download a program called Odin and a
kernel and flash the kernel using Odin.
I do know how to get the phone into download mode.
I'm still a little nervous about doing this (although I was able to
root the phone without any problems).
Thanks again...
You have got to be adventurous when it comes to flashing. Luckily this phone is very hard to brick. Even if you get a boot loop with no cwm you can still one-click to stock and try again.

As I understand it, I need CWM recovery in order to back up my stock ROM...and ROM manager
is giving me all these error messages.
So...in order to get CWM recovery, I need to flash a custom kernel that includes it.
According to what I've read, I can either use Odin or SGS Kernel Flasher.
1. Which should I use
2. Which kernel should I select
Thanks...
Any particular reason you want to backup you stock ROM?

Will flashing Bali 3.3 with SGS Kernel Flasher work?
You are over thinking things. Just do a one click to stock and start from there.

You gotta walk before you can run. One-Click yourself back to GB Stock and worry about it from there. That way, if you get screwed up, folks have a baseline to assist you from, and can "unwind" whatever it is you have managed to do to yourself.
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.
