Long time lurker, but i dont think i have posted before...so sorry if this is on the wrong place/already been answered, if that is the case i would love be be redirected to where i should go.
Anyways, after updating this morning, everything worked fine other that some occasion lag. But when i opened up handcent, it was just a black screen. so i reinstalled it, and still no dice. the default messaging app had the same problem. If someone texted me i wouldnt get it, and there was no way for me to send out a text. then, when my battery went down to red, all of a sudden it worked like normal. i was able to charge it and even when the battery was full it still worked. However, when i reset my phone, it stopped working again, and resumed working when my battery got to red. Im pretty sure those are the only symptoms i noticed...Any ideas on what is going on/what i can do to remedy it?
And fyi, i was rooted before the upgrade and have rooted since. I had oclf, but disabled it before i upgraded.
Shameless bump, I really need help
Only thing I can think of is a bad install of the update. I would suggest going back to 2.1 using odin and then reinstalling the froyo update

So step one of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Then follow the installation of 2.2 as samsungs website outlines? Would that require me to restore all of my apps and settings from tibu again?
Thanks

Yea if you are going to flash back to odin you will need to back up all user apps using titanium backup. Make sure you do not restore any system apps though as that can cause problems. Also you will lose your texts so I would recommend backing them up. I use sms backup+

My friend had the same problem and had to go back to 2.1 and re-install the update and then it worked. Seems like the update didn't install correctly on a handful of Captivates.
okay so i still haven't done this because of how long restoring everything with tibu takes, but if I am gonna have to go through this process again, should i just make my first venture into flashing a custom rom? Am i correct in thinking that flashing wont be messed up because of the current glitch i have because it all reverts back to stock as the first step anyways?
Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.
Krylon360 for original KF2 leak
nice dude!!!
Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

Strangely enough I have the froyo bootloaders, flashed this, got an upgrade failure to which got me to that annoying ass screen rom upgrade failed, so I tried it again, it was successful, but oddly not only did I not get the rainbow screen but I booted with all my apps and everything intact but confirm that I am now at 2.3.3 by su binary had gotten downgraded to 2 from the ,3 beta I had had and I was coming from the KD1 rom....

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

Hi, I recently started messing around with my sgs4g and installed a custom rom using the GB Stater Pack and flash the KJ6 AOSP, everything is working flawlessly except that everytime I'm talking to someone I suddenly hear a rewinding-kind of sound and the other person can hear it too, it happened to me using octane rom, stock GB update and AudiophileFTW edition, can someone please help me get rid of that sound it's getting really annoying, I would really appreciate any help given. Thanks in advance
dude, you hurt your hardware.
Go back to stock KD1, and see if you still have the issue, If you do, go to the tmobile store.

Weird issue. I know you didn't mention it in the OP, but are you over or under-clocking at all?
I'm somewhat with airflup on this - it seems to be a hardware issue. I am saying that based on the fact that I've not heard of anyone else having this issue on GB ROMs. It could be something funky with one of the chips in the phone but only manifests in the GB ROMs. It's weird but not unheard of.
I've not attempted this so someone tell me I'm an idiot for thinking about this, but what if you flash a stock GB ROM followed by the modem from KD1 or whatever Froyo ROM you're using to see if the problem is still there?
If you have the same issues on 2 different devices, you should redownload the roms(cwm and odin), maybe its a download issue i.e. mds5 error
Tell me if that works

As of today I have rooted my phone with different methods, re-downloaded everything, used different versions of Odin, went back to stock, install official GB, it's still doing it, also with the stock Gingerbread leak I noticed that besides the rewinding nose every 4-5 minutes, also the call log doesn't work and while I was watching a movie at work the phone light stayed lit during the whole film... I don't know what to do, is either go back to stock and recharge my phone every 4 hours or go back to kj6 aosp and deal with that annoying sound ..

Kernel is stock no under nor overclocked, btw what's the modem's role on the galaxy s 4g can this be the issue, I have never changed it but what if I do, can it help in any way, thank for all the help...
The modem is the radio for your phone to communicate with the cellular service. People change the modem file to see if they get better speeds in their area. Check the dev section, there's a whole thread containing just the modem files to flash.
I don't know if it will makea difference but it certainly couldn't hurt to try.

So i bought this rooted droid charge a couple of month ago from Craigslist.
It's having a lot of issues. sometimes when i make phone calls, it will just close. When in Google Maps, it crashes.
Recently, verizon released the gingerbread upgrade. but i am unable to get it because i am rooted.
I am on 2.3.4. See attached.
Can someone help me get to the latest and greatest firmware to resolve all these issues.
Also the phone is very very slow. I am so sick and tired of this phone.
thank you so much for your help.
You have a couple choices. If you want any kind of help from Verizon you'll need to go back to stock. The best way (that I know of) to do this is to flash the stock EE4 build, and then let the phone update itself to EP4. If there is actually something wrong with the phone, you have a good chance of getting a free replacement phone from Verizon even though you didn't buy it direct.

My strong suggestion is that you go back to stock, and see if it solves your problems. The EP4 build is really nice; probably the best stock build I've seen for any Verizon phone yet. If that is working for you, its still fairly easy to root & CWM that build so you can extend the capabilities a bit. Good luck!
EP1F is quite old and was not a stable release. I'd recommend this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406951
It's a debloated and nicely themed stock based ROM with a lot of tweaks applied. It's really quick...by far the smoothest ROM I've used on this phone. If you use the Odin with the kernel, you will get the latest radios and the latest kernel. This is based on the same OS version that Verizon/Samsung is currently pushing out.

Thanks for your reply.
I have talked to verizon and was told I couldn't get a replacement if I didn't get the phone from them directly.
the reason I would want to stay rooted is because i want the free tethering, but the wi-fi tether app doesn't work too well recently so I was using pdanet, which is no rooting required.
Do you know if I stay rooted and get the upgraded as suggested by you, the wi-fi tethering works?
At this point, I would really just want the phone to work. so I am really debating between stock or rooted.

But looking from the instructions, I am very confused. I am new to this ODIN thingy.

Where do I get ODIN software? what is "CWM"?

Verizon will replace it with a refurb, I've done it before with phones I've bought off Craigslist. The phone is a Verizon product, and regardless of where you got it , it was originally purchased from them. The tech you talked to was just giving you their uneducated opinion.

It has download links to Odin and instructions on how to use it. Odin is a low level flash utility for Samsung phones. The key thing to keep in mind is that you should only use the PDA button and never the PHONE button. You can also use the PIT button if you have the PIT file, but you can generally leave it alone unless instructed to use it.
CWM is a custom recovery. It is flashed in Odin. You can think of it as a higher level flash utility that lives on your phone. You can do most of what you can do with Odin with it, but you generally won't see radios flashable in it (with some exception), and you don't have to connect to your computer to use it. Generally, I use Odin to get to the latest base OS with radios, and then from there, you can use CWM to flash between roms without a computer. CWM also lets you do data and cache wipes, full phone backups, and a few other things from your phone.

^^^THIS.
Even though you'll see newer versions of the WiFi Tether app, use the link that shrike1978 has posted. it's the "pre12" version and works best for the Charge hands down.
I forgot to backup my data, what do you guys use to back up and restore when trying out new ROM?
Also, the power control widget doesn't work anymore, it's a blank bar with 5 slots, but nothing shown..
I use Titanium Backup. It's one of the apps that should pretty much be in every rooter's toolbox. The free version lets you batch backup apps and data, but you have to restore one at a time in interactive mode. The pay version adds the ability to batch restore everything in an automatic mode. Some people like My Backup Pro, but I never got it to work right.
I don't use power control, so that's not something I can answer to from personal experience, but I think I've heard people talk about needing a reboot to work right once you add them.

Yes thank you! Finally a configuration that doesn't need a restart of the phone to work the second time
Okay, wi-fi tethering works great. The power control also works after reboot.
I did purchased the Titanium Backup Pro prior to upgrade, and also did a backup. and now I reloaded the app, but unable to see the shortcut, nor open it.
does the backup go to the cloud? Titanium's servers or was it store in my micro sd card?
Thanks guy for the great advice.
TiBu stores the backup to SD. It should survive wipes and flashes unless you partition or wipe the card.

You can create a Dropbox account for free with 2GB of storage included. Then you can tell TiBU to sync with Dropbox. This way, if you do wipe your SD or if it corrupts or something, you only need to copy the TiBU folder back to the SD and all of your data is saved. This is how I ensure redundancy of my own backups.

Alright folks, my phone appears to have gone off the deep end.
A few weeks back, I was changing over to the new Eclipse ROM, and at first everything was going fine and dandy. However, I soon began experiencing a few force closes. I restarted the phone, and then everything went to hell. So many force closes I couldn't operate the phone, inability to make calls, unable to open apps, unable to install apps, basically all I can do is text, receive calls, and browse the web (although after enough time the phone crashes anyway). I have tried everything I know of to fix it: new ROMs via recovery, new ROMs via Odin, deleting caches, deleting personal data, using the .pit file and factory stock in Odin, the works. I even found the Samsung PST and used that, but for naught. The weird thing is that even after using the .pit file (which is supposed to delete EVERYTHING), my phone "remembers" old applications that were installed on it. In fact, it seems like there is some sort of ghost image on my phone, and whenever I restart it the phone returns to that state (any applications I tried to uninstall are back, all contact data is deleted, etc.). This ghost image hangs around no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Sounds to me that you obviously are not getting a true "PASS" with pit file. If you had you would have no files saved on phone. But if you followed the instructions to a "t" like you allude to...

I have followed the instructions fully (and multiple times to boot), and I have always gotten a PASS.
This is sounding regrettably similar to the issues reported in this thread - try looking at post numbers in the mid 300s - I think they are centered around late September/early October (there are more than this, but I'm pretty sure that timeframe has the highest density of discussion on this). If it's what it sounds like, the /data partition is no longer in a state that can be written over (the "ghost image" you were referring to) - and truth be told I don't know if anyone has come up with a "free" solution to the problem.

Thinking... What recovery does your phone have on it now- stock or clockwork? Are you on rfs file system- did you revert back or can you flash a diff kernel using cwr?

I currently have Clockwork. I am unable to tell at this moment what my file system is, as I can't install Voodoo, and the method of adding/deleting folders on my SD card doesn't work. However, I do recall during one of my many attempts at using different kernels/radios/roms I did get the creepy female Voodoo bootup voice, but even though that said it was a success I was never able to tell whether it actually worked.
As of right now I am capable of ODIN and Clockworking any Rom/kernel/etc., but they all bring along the Ghost Image.

NAND is just a type of flash memory. If you recognize the word nand then you should have an idea. If not, it's not really important.

Alright folks, my phone appears to have gone off the deep end.
A few weeks back, I was changing over to the new Eclipse ROM, and at first everything was going fine and dandy. However, I soon began experiencing a few force closes. I restarted the phone, and then everything went to hell. So many force closes I couldn't operate the phone, inability to make calls, unable to open apps, unable to install apps, basically all I can do is text, receive calls, and browse the web (although after enough time the phone crashes anyway). I have tried everything I know of to fix it: new ROMs via recovery, new ROMs via Odin, deleting caches, deleting personal data, using the .pit file and factory stock in Odin, the works. I even found the Samsung PST and used that, but for naught. The weird thing is that even after using the .pit file (which is supposed to delete EVERYTHING), my phone "remembers" old applications that were installed on it. In fact, it seems like there is some sort of ghost image on my phone, and whenever I restart it the phone returns to that state (any applications I tried to uninstall are back, all contact data is deleted, etc.). This ghost image hangs around no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?

just covering bases by asking, did you go ALL the way back to ed1 with that pit file or a more recent version (gb or something along those lines)
From what I understand, the phone is still working, but is very unstable. The PBJ kernel does NOT support Voodoo Lagfix (but still supports EXT4). Can you try flashing imoseyon's kernel (which supports it) and enabling/disabling Voodoo? It can be found at RootzWiki. Also, when you get into CWM, it says the version at the top.

Here you go....i have been here.
Get into clockwork(CWM) - mount everything via usb and backup what you need to backup.
Perform a quick format of your sdcard so that when you see your phone on the pc, its blank.
Go back to stock odin and boot up, report any issues.

What happened next
I tried what you said because I'm in the same boat. I still get the FCs and it tries to walk me through the setup. It gets stuck at the Checking Account step in the setup wizard. I let it sit there for about an hour while I went to lunch to no avail.
