I updated my SGS4G to GB ROM and rooted as provided on this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128412
All working fine till now EXCEPT for CALL LOGS. There are no call logs!
Here are the symptoms:
a. missed call gets registered - working normally.
b. calls made won't register - Call log empty.
c. calls received won't register - Call log empty.
Is it just me or everybody is facing the same problem?? Please and Thanks in advance!
How do I fix this issue?
P.S: Non-rooted GB ROM also showing the same symptoms, not that the rooted ROM has anything to do with it, just mentioning.

Call Logs working fine with me, installed busybox and root is confirmed. Although I am having problems with the Bluetooth icon in the Notification area, everytime I click it it force closes and hides my notification bar

KF2 Update
Updated to KF2 and there seems to be a couple fixes including the bluetooth crash fix.
One issue found both in KF1 and KF2
Connect a regular headset to SGS4G phone and the inbuilt microphone gets disabled, the other party can’t hear you talking at all. Ideally, the phone microphone should be enabled if it detects a regular 3.5mm stereo jack. And it should disable the microphone only when it detects the handsfree with microphone. It should be able to do this. Froyo didn’t have this problem. This is an injected defect in Gingerbread.
No call logs
i have updated my firmware to gingerbread and now i have no call logs on my phone ....

Incoming calls are registered but outgoing are not.

Try the VUVKF2 ROM - some fixes from KF1 and the call log issue sure looks like it is fixed
Also FYI,,, the music playing when i remove/plugin the headphone glitch has also been removed....
Running the VUVKF1 gingerbread rom and the call logs are fine. Didn't notice that the bluetooth button in the notification bar caused FC until brought up lol.
Where do i get it?
Is there stable KF2 Firmware that i can use ?
And where can i get it ?
The one that i use is from samfirmware.com
It says that it is a T-Mobile FW.
Can some one point me to a KF2 FW that is from T-Mobile?
Also is there a way to go back (Just in case) to Froyo 2.2.1 that i had before ?
Thanks Guys!

There is a stable KF2 from Tmobile( more stable than KF1). Here is the link below.
Leaked KF2 ROM with all bloatware from T-Mobile

The procedure you have to follow to root is here,
(but download the KF2 ROM package from the 1st link)
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131230
Finally to root KF2, use the zimage-root-patch from this link
--> http://pradeepclicks.com/sgs4g/zImage-root/zImage
Follow everything to the letter from link 1 and you should be all fine.
Note: If you face problems getting into download mode using the Vol-, Vol+, USB cable method, Follow one of the methods mentioned in this link below.

OK, so if i do not have to root, i can just flash my device with odin?
There are 2 files in the rar, one is the rom and the other is DLL
So how do i use this exactly, what options should i check in odin?
I have the KF1 installed, if that helps.
THANK You.

Yes, You can just flash the ROM with ODIN, exactly like you did for KF1, except for the bootloader part, which will NOT be present. KF1 bootloaders are just fine. Just keep in mind that to get to the download mode is a little different because GB has a changed key sequences Refer to the link that I posted earlier if you face problems getting into download mode.
There are 2 files in the rar, one is the rom and the other is DLL
I am not quite sure which package you picked up, if you downloaded from the link I posted, you would be getting a *.tar.md5 file which you would be 'ODIN'ing like you did for KF1.
So how do i use this exactly, what options should i check in odin?
Exactly like you did for KF1.
I have the KF1 installed, if that helps.
Personally, I prefer heimdall, because you know what exactly you are flashing because you are selecting it manually each time ( like modem, cache, zimage, etc etc)
Again, the SGS4G BIBLE is the perfect thing for you to start. ODIN or HIEMDALL - it describes you how to go about it.

I am very grateful for your help, but this last post just got me more confused than i was before.
When i flashed the first time there were more files so i saw this guide :
droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-odin-flash-updateupgrade-samsung.html
It showed me what options to select in odin and what files to pick.
This rom has 2 files, so its different, all i need to know is how to use what i have.
The link you gave me is awesome, but it just confusing me with this endless info about everything. it is hard to find what i need to do EXACTLY in my current situation.
Can you please just tell me what options to select in odin ?
THANKS.

Ok, here it goes, the SS_DL.dll is useless, as far as I know. You can ignore it. And you can procede with the flash using the other file *.tar.md5 . And follow the instructions provided in the link that you followed earlier to flash KF1. That should get you going. Hope it helps.

I am sorry to noob like this, but those links were instructions to use some update.zip and to root.
I just need an instruction to flash it with ODIN.
Should be simple instruction : select this and that and click start.
I already know how to go to download mode and everything ...
Just the options in ODIN.
Do i select this file as Bootloader or Phone ?
I have now the KF1 does t mean that it wil use bootloader of KF1 or do i get new one here?
Why sometimes its several files and sometimes its just one?
Thanks, i hope that i am not getting on your nerves, but you WILL help me i know!
I bought a second hand galaxy s 4g that had a problem. When the phone gets rebooted, such as a battery change, it only restarts in download mode. I tried flashing a new rom in odin hoping it would set right whatever is wrong in there but no good. When the phone is connected to a power source it restarts normally. I know there is a fix for this but I can't find it. Seems most people can't get into download mode but I can't get out! Thanks in advance for whoever can help. How can I fix this?

Interesting problem. What ROM is it currently running? Have you tried a factory reset, cache wipe, etc?
I did. I just got it yesterday and immediately did a cache wipe and reinstall packages. It has froyo.vuvkb5 kernel 2.6.32.9. I installed the krylon360 stock+rom via odin with no change. I was going to try flashing a team whiskey rom onto it when I have time but wanted to check if this had been a problem for anyone else. I found one post somewhere that may point to a missing .dll but everything is fine when its plugged into power. I am lost.

The phone runs on Android which does not utilize .dlls (dynamic link libraries; that's a Windows thing). KB5 is an old ROM. If you're trying to stay on Froyo right now, why not flash KD1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696), then do a factory data reset. See if that helps. If you plan on going to Gingerbread then we need to insure you flash a ROM with the correct boot loaders else you could get into the "rainbow screen", soft brick, bootloop, or something of the sort.
I am definitely going to upgrade the phone. I found another thread that had a problem that I also have but didn't mention the download mode problem. When I try to reinstall package I get the same message as this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800614
It ends with this message

I'm guessing the original owner of the phone boned something up and gave up on fixing it. I'm just getting back into android after a year trying to like the windows phone which is now my nemesis. I don't remember many of the lessons I learned from my Vibrant so any help getting this guy here on point would be much appreciated.

Yeah, I don't recall that mount point on my phone. I think /sdcard is mounted to /mnt/sdcard. Did you try flashing the KD1 ROM I listed above? You'd have to do it from ODIN.
If you want to get on the latest, RaverX3X did a great favor to many and created an ODIN version of the latest release from Samsung (KJ6). It's found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
No change. I tried both roms and same result except for gingerbread being much faster. I am not rooted right now so I suppose I will try rooting and looking around my folders for anomolies? Could this be a hardware problem?

Hard to say, though it seems odd that it reboots fine when plugged in. Aside from rooting & poking around maybe try installing chadster's KG4 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413). Instead of just the PDA file, it has the partition information file (.pit), the PDA, CSC, & phone files. I wonder if flashing that might help? If you try it, just:
Put CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL1385158_REV00_user_low_noship.ta r.md5 in PDA
Put Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit in PIT
Put SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5 in CSC
Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 in PHONE
Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked & flash.
That backs you off of the latest version of GB, but if it works, you can reflash the KJ6 version afterward.
That sounds like a step in the right direction. I get the feeling something was missing in the phone file wise and needed a full redo to the most deep level. I have to wait til I get home to try. I am very anxious.

Dang, we made it worse. Sorry about that. I'd definitely push KJ6 back onto it and factory data reset.
I'm wondering whether it would be worth a shot to flash one of drhonk's kernels (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032) on it with CWM/Root/and voodoo. That way you can go into CWM recovery, wipe the cache, davlik cache, and fix the permissions.
IF you want to try it and see what happens before, download drhonk's KG4 kernel, put it in the PDA section of ODIN, and flash it. If you flash KJ6 first, you can ODIN his KJ1 ROM.
After doing it, boot the phone into recovery mode (you might have to use an app like quick boot), go to advanced, and fix permissions.
Op, you seem to be getting a lot of great help from Stephen, but did you get this working? if not follow the gb guide to flash both sets of bootloaders. wipe you're sd card. Now go back and return to froyo kd1 and use the official upgrade through kies. If that doesn't fix it, you have a hardware problem. After the upgrade to kj6 official, take it to a store and say it started happening once you upgraded

It's not a Rom bro, its a kernel, your Rom will still be stock, and yes Kies will still detect it, but be aware that your warranty will be void once you root your phone (comes included with the kernel) but you can always revert back to the stock rom easily.

Its simple,
Download the kernel 'PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta10.tar' as posted in the link hellismine89 posted.
Download Odin (google it, should be easy enough to find)
Get your phone into 'Download' mode. for that, switch your phone off, and turn it on again while holding the middle button and volume down key.
Open odin, and under PDA select the kernel file you had downloaded earlier. Make sure that 'PHONE EFS CLEAR' is UNchecked! Do not check it! *VERY IMP* or you will lose your IMEI.
Just click on 'start' THAT IS ALL!

What you have posted is CF-ROOT which basically 'Roots' your phone and gives some tweaks and recovery etc, Bam's kernel is the ONLY one with the sync bug fixed and also comes with CF root... So Just flash Bam's kernel & you will be happy.

Yes my friend, all looks good, You can use either one, only difference is one comes packaged with cf root the other is without, go with the above one as you don't have to go rooting all over again.
Regarding overclock, your phone will have the capability to be overclocked, but you can choose whether you want it to be or not, just install 'no frills cpu control' from the market and select your clock speed to 1000 (stock).
Generally there is no need for a backup but, it never hurts! If you get stuck on the boot screen after flashing, don't panic, just get into recovery mode (vol up+home button+power button) and clear cache and davlik cache.

I am on DDKP3 & using Bam's kernel beta 10 with cf root. Don't worry about the version with cf root, it works fine,no problems at all, and your phone will not get bricked that easily, just remember the efs thing though! Regarding overclocking I think bam has mentioned that it boots at 1000 (stock) by default but runs at 1200 for 5 secs or so. SO its not really a big deal, but its good to have no frills just to be sure.

Regarding overclocking I think bam has mentioned that it boots at 1000 (stock) by default but runs at 1200 for 5 secs or so. SO its not really a big deal, but its good to have no frills just to be sure.

Cool so I will just stay with the beta 10 with CF root just like you ,I know 11 is newer but since the dev himself doesnt use it and says its untested I'd feel safer to be with a know and used release.Thanks a ton guys!
So long story short, my tab was running stock ICS (rooted, with temp CWM/cwm.zip). I decided to try a new rom (paranoid android) so I backed up everything via CWM and I flashed the new rom. But I forgot to do a factory reset before doing so which resulted in a bootloop. I returned to CWM to try to restore the previous ROM, all seemed to be fine and the tab restarted but was also bootlooped. Now I can't even access the stock recovery to acess CWM, I get an error message:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC code : THL
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E :failed to mount / system (invalid argument) <in red.
Is there anything I can do to return to my stock ROM?!
Do I have the Brick Bug?

Can it get into download mode? If so try flash a stock rom with odin. Im not a sgt user but i am a samsung phone user and usualy when i forget to wipe all i have to do is go back into recovery. Then wipe everything and flash the same rom. NEVER go straight to a backup unless you pass setup. Then it can create a link almost so it supports going back. Or so thats what ive been told by devs on other forums...sounds kinda wierd tho but anyway if you forget to do something while flashing roms then go back indo recovery and do it again

It loads the amination for the stock recovery, then I get the error message I posted above. I need to get onto the stock recovery to get into CWM. Im not too sure what to do at the moment...

Thats a messege saying the system has broke basicly because you went straight to a backup. Download mode and odin are your only hope

I forgot about download mode. I'll have a go then I'll report back.
Thanks
Now I'm stuck at the "<ID:0/005> factoryfs.img" stage!
I'm a bit scared of unplugging the tab, what would be the best thing to do now?
EDIT: If I flash a kernel or CWM, would this solve my problem?
Thanks in advance
EDIT:I managed to get CWM working, a step in the right direction

From CWM wipe data, cache & dalvik & reboot.
And flash this ICS zip file from CWM. if yours is 6800.

I did everything you said, but the progress bar has been stuck at 75% for over an hour, this has happened with all the ROMs I've tried to install. Is there anything else I could do? I red somewhere that a low battery doesn't allow ROMs to be installed properly.
Although I have no idea of my battery life, I'm just gonna leave it to charge for a bit. I hope everything turns out fine eventually

Battery life has nothing to do with it. People just say make sure you have high battery incase something happens. I think that it might be a very expensive brick now. Unless anyone else knows then i habe no idea

:crying:
I was reading the following articles:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-diligently-working-towards-hardbrick-fix/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
Could this Brick Bug be the source of my problems?
I was running a leaked version of ICS AND I have been using the cwm.zip so there is the possibility
Being unable to flash through either Odin or CWM surely sounds a lot like the brickbug.
If I were you, I'd reboot to download mode, and install a full ROM with repartition + PIT file. If it works, install locerra's CWM (it's one of the few recoveries for our tablet that's confirmed to be brickbug-free), and work as usual. But remember to wipe everything before installing anything through CWM...
If Odin doesn't work, you probably have been hit by the brickbug. However, all is not lost: this guy seems to have found a "fix" for many devices. It involves giving up on all your data and making your onboard storage a couple of GB smaller than it used to be, but it can make your device work again. Read the thread, try to understand it, and (if you can't find another way out) use the PIT file for the GT-6800 provided. If your tab isn't the international WiFi+3G GT-P6800, you may have to ask the guy (hg42) for a PIT tailored to your device.
The other option, in the case of a eMMC-related brick, is to remove all traces of CWM, go to a Samsung store and repair it under warranty, saying "its broke down when I were running that backie upppe thing in kies".
The other option is the better one, as i bricked my note. When i am able to revive it, i am left with 8GB space and it seems real laggy. Change a new motherboard would be better if still cover undr warrantly.

Thanks for the replies guy.
I have decided I will return it as faulty, in the hope it is repaired. I haven't been able to boot into CWM anymore, only the download mode, so I am guessing it is fine to return it as it is?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd return it to something as close to stock as possible.
One suggestion: grab the latest Odin-flashable ROM for your country. You'll get a .tar.md5 file, such as P6800UBLA2_P6800ZTOLA2_ZTO.tar.md5. Try to flash it through Odin, just to see if it works; if it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems. If it works, congratulations, you have your tablet back, and you can stop reading.
Now, Rename that file to .tar (or, remove the .md5 extension), and open it in WinRAR/7zip/whatever. You'll see a lot of .img files inside, including the one that gave you problems. Remove it, and try to flash this new .tar file. If the flash works, proceed to the next paragraph. If it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems, and repeat this paragraph using your new .tar file.
After a flash that works, your device should be as close to stock as possible. Maybe it will even boot, but I wouldn't count on it (try anyway). I'd send it to the repair centre only when it is at this stage.

The tab gets stuck at 'factoryfs.img'. I'm a bit cautious since it is the biggest file in the .tar. Isn't the tab 'stock' stock enough as it is?:silly:

Thats...a...problem...if it takes longer then 15 mins its bricked...i have been a gt user and devs on other sites told me it was bricked. Maybe there is a solution but...i havnt found one. It should never take too long on one thing in odin.

Even so, flash the other .imgs. You want to be closest to stock, including the recovery (imagine the guys at the Samsung centre manage to enter recovery, just to see CWM: your warranty is now gone). Having all partitions on stock, or at least most of them, can only help your case.

The warrenty is not void unless they find proof of tampering with system files. So basicly yeah...everything that guy said. Get it as close to stock as possible and send.

Right OK, I definately don't want my warrenty void!
So would it be ok if I flashed 'P6800OXALQ1_P6800XXLQ1_HOME.tar.md5' (minus the factoryfs.img) to my tab?
Thanks
I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

Yeah, all you need is to reflash cwm through odin or if you still have cwm just flash a superuser or supersu zip.

Which superuser.zip should i use?
This thread should help you.
Just use that superuser.zip file, unless you want SuperSU, which I think it's better,
