Not really sure what happened..
My phone wouldn't reboot properly.. kept getting "Force Close" for any number of processes on my screen. So I decided to go into CWM to recover a previous backup. It seemed to go well. But when it rebooted, it now stays on the Samsung Screen and nothing else happens. I've tried to get back into CWM by holding down Volume and Power buttons.. but again .. nothing happens.. Just keeps going to the Samsung Screen and freezing there..
I have NO IDEA what to do now.
Any and all help is so greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance.
Can you get into download mode? Hold the volume up and down button then while the phone is plugged in the USB. From there, do a one-click back to stock.

I just one clicked back to stock.
Do I now have to re- ROOT the phone now to get a custom ROM and my CWM back on my phone along with all my APPS that I downloaded .. that can only work on rooted phones?

See the purple link in my sig flash the one click in it and you will be rooted however only use it as a stepping stone to one of the GB stock based roms or ICS flavors. And yes you have to reinstall your apps.

Quick question.. First off.. Thank you so much for all your help..
My question is.. after I do this one click.. can I then install [ROM] Valhalla Final [KJ6 Based].. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402966
It says that : Must have pre-installed kernel with clockwork recovery!
Yes if you installed the one click I created or installed the one click with antonx's kernel.

hello all,
tried flashing using cwm the new rom that's floating around...tried wiping always getting stuck at the galaxy s 4g boot screen. Well i can't boot into recovery, sort of freaking out here. I hold the buttons and it just goes back to galaxy s 4g screen not into recovery like it usually does. Any ideas?
Even if u cant get into recovery as long as the device will go into download mode again then ur okay! Just reodin the KD1 whitehawkx if thats what u where on. Sucks starting all over but thats the price we pay to test. Good luck my friend and never fear your device is not bricked it is still recoverable.

Odin back in..from there look into krylons cwm recovery and back up..the official cwm back up and restore results from other members dont seem to be doing well. After that you should be able to restore and not have to worry

is kyrlons cwm recovery and back up a different thread?
yes it is a different thread i believe its called CWM Final. Im running Stock KD1 from whitehawkxs, fota&fugu tweaks plus the gb theme and the bali 1.4 kernel... pretty smooth..
on another thought you probably should have posted this in the general section. just a heads up..
Good advice depackers1 but i think he was already using CWM and had backups but he got himself into a bootloop that wouldnt allow him to get into recovery so he couldnt use CWM. In this case if a person cannot even get into download mode then u will have to use a jig probably.
And kkoshko1 since it seems u are starting from scratch and u said u were on stock rooted so i assume u mean KB5. I would recommend trying whitehawkx KD1 ODIN. U might as well update to the best rom we have right now. KD1 is still stock but has some improvements from KB5. Hope that helps.

you guys are great and i'm trying odin right now and doing the noob thread, hopefully this works i'll report back...so far in download mode!
okay update. IT WORKED LIKE A F*CKING CHARM! lol booted up just fine. You both deserve metals, i was worried for a minute but thanks for your help and all you guys do!
Sure thing brother! Glad we could help!!!!!!! Odin will always be your bestfriend. Since u were on stock here's a couple more suggestions. Try out drhonks bali kernel. It will save u a ton of battery life and open the door for a few other awesome things that u can find out in the bali thread. U can also free up some internal storage with the fota fix. Try the apk that one of our members created. Also try the fugu tweaks. It will make your application processes much faster. Welll have fun bro and im sure glad u got her up and running again!

Where are you coming from and what are you trying to get to?
With out specifics, sounds like you need to Odin or heimdall back to stock and add a new recovery

Download the Stock + root + modded 3e package and follow they instructions. I use this every time I want to go back to stock between roms, and it roots and installs the modded recovery (cwm) for you. So easy. Idk why more people don't use this.

If that's correct you're in the right forum!
Check out the link that warren sent to you so that you can get the phone onto Gingerbread bootloaders, which you'll need to flash any Gingerbread and more recent ROM (GB, ICS, JB). Make sure you also check out the wiki for a lot of our guides.

Thanks guys, upgrade to GB 2.3.6 and rooted. Quick question Rom manager don't have cmw recovery for this phone, which recovery does this phone use and how do you boot into bootloader/recovery manually on Galaxy S 4G?

Depending on the kernel the recovery will either be CWM or TWRP. The easiest way to reboot recovery, if your on a ROM that doesn't support it from the power menu, is to download Quickboot from market. The other way is to power phone down then hold both volume rockers then press and holder power. Once the splash screen changes or gets brighter let go of power only. Either way works. For your own good delete the ROM manager app now.

An extra bit of helpful information - if you decide you want to restore your back up that you made, do from from the kernel/recovery you made the back up with.

No you can't go back to GB you will hard brick your device. There is another method of flashing created by altered search for that and also disable your virus guard before flashing.

Is possible to downgrade AT&T ICS 4.0.4(AP Fastboot Mode (S) 0A.72) to GB? My phone is stuck on M logo and I've flashed it almost ten times and nothing. Always tried flashing this fxz: InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zi p
AFAIK GB's bootloader version is 0A.72 too, isn't? So I suppose I can downgrade safely.
You cannot go back to GB, your only solution is get ICS up and running. Did you search for the flashing method without using RSDLite? There is a thread on this by alteredlikeness try that method, also make sure you have at least 50% battery.
