[Q] How to get CWM on Galaxy S 4G 2.3.6!?!

I need help on how to get CWM!
I am somewhat of a noob, so *VERY DETAILED* instructions would be AWESOME..
Firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband: T959VUVKJ6
Kernal: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130
*ROOTED WITH SUPER ONE CLICK, RUNNING STOCK GB*
I will give "Thanks" for everyone who helps a brother out!

Just answered that very question here.
Good luck. Let me know if you need help.

Use the program Odin to flash a modded kernel by drhonk(dev section). Download Odin, install phone drivers, download gb kernel, put phone in download mode, hook phone to PC, flash kernel, reboot. Have cwm.

Are you following me, or am I following you? LOL

okay you two, so i went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032 ....but none of the ODIN things say KJ6...does it matter at all?

I always used the kg4 but the kj1 is more up to date. I really don't think it matters.

You shouldn't extract any of the tar files. Odin will only accept tar or .tar.md5 files.

woah thanks for catching that for me...if i follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215748&highlight=noobs+guide+odin will i be okay?
i want to end up flashing ICBINB...am i doing things okay? in order for that to happen

If you're using CWM, the name doesn't matter.

thanks guys, my doubt has been resolve..
i just thought that it is not possible and will brick the phone since there are different version..
one more question that i am confused, since i am in froyo version and it says on the tut that in XXKPE to flash "twice" before continuing flashing XXKPH, "twice" means flashing again the PDA or all of the file of XXKPE?

All the files except the latona.pit file.

No need for xxkph. XXKPE>factory reset>XXKPQ>factory reset>Ganesh cf root> Poseidon ROM>Wipe then restore apps by TB.
If you have problems. Try flashing XXKPE twice

[CAUTION]To all users who are running ICS..

Caution:
When you are running ICS on you mobile do not downgrade directly to GB using ODIN, if you flash any GB ROM (Stock/Custom) using ODIN your mobile will be bricked.
Live example is myself i have bricked my mobile by do this.
TO avoid this first you restore previous backup using CWM and then flash what ever you want using ODIN.
Even Unbrick your Galaxy R. 2. Downgrade bootloader to v2.0 guide wont help you, I have followed it but no use I have successively flashed stock rom by using this method but still no luck ..
I've created this thread to help all our users who are running ICS, Sorry I've haven't see that one more thread is there for this if you think its duplicate please ask Justin to delete it..

Thanks! Have you managed to un-brick your machine?
Actually, flashing thru odin is Samsung things and it will increase the counter. So, almost every time, I will customize the ROM to flash thru normal CWM flash zip process. At least, I am just 'copying' files to /system/ and all operations are controlled by the updater-script

Yes Ardatdat. I do the same thing. For all the Stock ROMs which i flash via odin, i used to make CWM package. I used to do that so that always i dont have to depend on my PC. Not for the baseband, But atleast for the PDA and CSC part.

Thx for the info buddy. Like to know once thing. When u tried to downgrade to GB via odin, what was ur ICS system info. Is it rooted.? Deodexed? Rooted Kernel? Because I feel Kernel is the problem here. The Kernel that came with this ICS is not a safest one. Ardatdat can speak more about it.

Thanks mj...
I was goin to flash stock rom via odin on ics...if ics was to give more prob...

Just off-topic wondering, ppl in SSC will say: your machine is fixed and patched with the latest JB rom & kernel. Am I dreaming?

Hey Vikram,
I think we should sticky this thread.. what say??? Very critical piece of information.

Yes, I would love to, but without the kernel source, I could not do much things. At least, I would not get the kernel src before Samsung provide the official ICS update.

Hoping an image from samsung for this rom and then for ardatdat kernel v 1.8.x from you... Hats off to you man. I am a fan of yours.:thumbup:

this is very confusing. I shouldn't do factory reset. I shouldn't flash via odin. I shouldn't flash via cwm (says another thread). What should i do then to go back to GB?

You can flash Bam Kernel via Odin. I'm using it. Download the latest fix version and flash it in pda. It has CWM & it will root the device.

Or use the CF-Root for DDLF2 from here. The procedure is same.

Read this post. If you follow it to the end you'll have CM9 (ICS alpha build)
Stop at end of ddlf2 root step and you should have a rooted ddlf2 build.
PLEASE NOTE, you'll lose all your data. Make sure you take a backup or everything that you'll regret losing later.
Make sure you backup all your contacts to your google account.

A big thnx to u bro :victory:
Only just 1 last question
can i also do these steps as I already have a ddlf2 firmware on my GT I9003....
1-Root phone and install cwm.
2-Do full nandroid backup.
3. Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
4. Go to Advanced -> Reboot Recovery.
5. After the Recovery restarts, Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
6. Mounts and Storage -> Format dbdata
7. Flash Google Apps.
8. Reboot
Are these steps also correct or I would be messed up..........
Once again thnx N u r a gr8 dev and helpful person.........:good:

2 things.
1st I'm not a dev. I just did a lot of reading here.
2nd I guess you can flash cfroot. But people had issues when they didn't do a clean install. That is why it is preferred.
